“My husband recently hosted a bunch of old college buddies and their wives for our wedding! Since about 25 of them were visiting the Shore area for the first time, he wanted to make sure they experienced all the sights and sounds Monmouth County has to offer. Normally, finding something fun (and legal) for a large group of out-of-towners to do after midnight is a challenge—but not in Rumson! He took the whole crew to Murphy’s Tavern with the promise that they’d get a taste of a local legend: a good old-fashioned speakeasy tucked away in the basement of a house, right in the heart of a residential neighborhood. Needless to say, they had a blast! Whether you’re kicking off a weekend wedding celebration or just grabbing a late-night drink, we highly recommend popping into Murphy’s Tavern.“

“Cool place to hang and watch a game. Seats were comfortable and newer than the rest of the park. Historic facilities and in need of an upgrade to attract people to return. Grounds were clean and the restrooms were spotless. Staff was helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking and lot is under a lot of construction. Definitely will be back.“

My dream was to have a beach wedding and due to unexpected weather right before my ceremony we had to change plans and they were great and said they would do whatever I wanted to were super compassionate and helpful. I would have my wedding there again in a heartbeat!“

“Our experience was excellent. Loved our waitress Leslie!!! I had the burger and Layla had the kids pizza.“

“We were there yesterday with a large party and had a great time watching the games. We sat outside and our server, Allie, was really on her game. We wanted for nothing all day. The food and drink selection was awesome. Drinks were not lacking in the alcohol department and the plates were plentiful. They also had some creative non-alcoholic options that a few of our friends enjoyed. Looking forward to the next time we can get back. I also loved that the place is dog friendly!“

“Been going to Max’s since I was kid & they were on the Boardwalk. Still the best hot dog I’ve ever had. Also love their crispy onion rings, steak fries, zucchini fries & sweet potato fries. Other menu items look good however I cannot go to Max’s without getting their famous hot dog!“

“Love going to Woody's for lunch or dinner“

“It’s a great beach bar w/ friendly folks, good food & cold draft beer!“

“Initially, I searched online for a place that served lobster roll and this place came up, but upon arriving there and browsing the menu, lobster roll was not listed, so perhaps it's only a special on occasion. This place was recommended from our AirBnb host, and the other menu options looked great, so we stayed and had lunch anyway. I enjoyed my Bar A's Brisket Sandwich, which on the menu mentioned came with horseradish sauce and au jus. However, when it came to the table, it did not come with those described condiments, so I had to ask our server for both, and received them quickly with no hassle.
We arrived around 11am and it seems this place has it's regulars. The one positioned directly by the entrance was very quick to offer the four women who walked in some cocktails on his tab. We politely declined the drink and we resumed the rest of our visit without any issues from the other guests. If you like that kind of familiar atmosphere, then I would say they seem open and friendly to anyone who is a visiting patron.
My friend ordered the sliders and said they were the best she's had in her life.
Prices were definitely reasonable.“
