“Aug. 2025
Stopped in on tge way home from a event.
The one thing about chain restaurants is they all look the same and the menu are relatively the same. Which is a good thing. But tgey should allow them the opportunity to have 2 or 3 menu item that are independent from cooperate and their sister restaurants.

Mimi was exceptional with her service. Along with smile and ability to read people.
Our food was all typical for Applebee's. The exception here was that tha manager walked around to each table and asked about the food and service .
Atmosphere, hey cooperate. It's time to change a few things around and clean up the look.
This place is children friendly and parking is plentiful along with handicapped friendly.“

“Kids love to go there because it has the play area, so they get to eat and play win. win“

“I like your burgers. but I just had both your $1 breakfast sandwiches. YUCK, they weren't fresh @7:20am, and tasted like salt sandwiches. The coffee was great but only 3/4 full. Glad the coffee was good, so I could wash the taste outta my mouth. Never Again.“

“Shake Shack is always on point but, I need to take a second and express how amazing this staff is. My Uber Eats driver brought me a shovel (yes a shovel) instead of my burger. I called to see what actually happened to the burger. That will remain a mystery however, the manager told me to come down and they’d make me fresh one. On top of being extremely pleasant and accommodating, they made a surprise one for my dog!! These guys are great and deserve to be applauded!“

“We love the salads and always get service with a smile! 😊“

“Great little burgers.
And great shakes.
Barbecue Char as a meal is as good as it gets. Even with the fries, I can still go back to work after one of those.
Amanda and Jamein are truly friendly and helpful.
I love that I can see The Cooks making my burger right there!
Lots of seating, inside and outside.

I love this place. Definitely worth stopping by anytime you are in the area!

“Was there after the lunch crowd today 2/1/22. The place was spotless, the restroom was also. Excellent choice of burgers and sandwiches. My wife and I both had burgers and we both agreed they were the best we have had in at least 20 yrs. Grade A meat and the french fries were freshly cut and fried. Can't wait to get back. If you are a movie buff like me you will love the decor. The service was great also.“

“Absolutely loved the food at the Victorian Grill, wonderfully prepared and set down in front of us with a smile. One of the best of the top 5 burgers I have ever had. Every time I visit Ocean Grove, this is one of my go-to places! Thankyou!“

“We had gone to Woodys for years and recently started visiting more frequently. Really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is good. The holiday decor is a whole vibe—the owners and staff really went all out to provide a warm, inviting experience for their customers. We are always greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. I always enjoy the time spent at Woodys, whether with friends or family. The seating options are many as the heated outdoor area is available all year long. Good food+great service+awesome ambiance=a fantastic experience.“

“Amazing! This place was amazing from start to finish. I own a women’s clothing boutique called Lucky Leopard and I was one of the vendors at their event. Everything was so easy and fun! The staff was amazing and they came over and supported my business . The food was amazing!“

“An absolute fortune but good food. Still 42$ a burger kinda obnoxious (not anymore). But hey, I liked it, my wallet didn't agree. Skip the apps and go right for the mains. Huge portions. No alcohol. But liquor store next door. Very good quality food. Service extremely fast.“

“Came here twice so far both times was amazing. Service was great food was great. Nice atmosphere decor is great it’s a great hidden gem.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“Had a delightful experience at Brielle House Bar & Grill. Very impressed with the menu and execution of all the dishes that we ordered. We were lucky to score an oversized booth, which was cozy. Nice pour on the wine. The place is spotless, elevated, but not at all stuffy. Staff made us feel so welcome. I am truly confused about the motive of a prior review I read on here. It cannot be the same place that we just enjoyed so much.“

“Where do I start, I just came back from the beach and was absolutely starving. This is the first time I’ve been at this rest stop and was very happy to see the shake shack. The service was very fast, the place was very clean and holy moly this meal made my tip cry. The burger was so JUICY and the fries were delicious and the milkshake was amazing. 10/10 life changing burger and overall experience.“

“Excellent service. Was lucky enough to get there right when a Fresh pie was coming out. Can I tell you it was the best slice I've had in years. Cheesesteak is amazing as well!. Overall great visit will absolutely be back next time we come through town.“

“Quick service, nice staff, good burgers.“

“Had a wonderful lunch on outside patio. Sun shining and a nice light breeze.“

“This is a locally owned, seasonally open, dairy queen. This site only offers ice cream, unlike larger restaurants. Greg, the owner, employs local kids and is a very friendly local business owner. Highly recommend dropping in and supporting local.“

“I recently visited Seawatch Coffee and Market, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere enveloped me in warmth and charm. The cozy, nautical-inspired decor, with its soft lighting and comfortable seating, creates a welcoming vibe that feels like a home away from home. The service is nothing short of exceptional. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and made me feel like a valued guest from the start. They were attentive without being overbearing, quick to offer recommendations, and clearly passionate about what they do. The owner deserves special praise for setting the tone of this gem. Their warmth and dedication shine through in every detail, from the carefully curated menu to the inviting atmosphere. You can tell they pour their heart into what they do. This is a place where quality and care come together beautifully—I can’t wait to return!“

“Went there for the pinstripe bowl party. Good food menu. Bartenders were great“

“I ordered thru the drive-in. The food and service were outstanding. The service person was friendly and knowledgeable as she asked if I ordered thru the APP. I told her no and she provided me the pamphlet for getting the APP and using it in the future.“

“I have heard about the pork roll egg and cheese here so came to try. It was a straightforward rendition of the sandwich. Decent is the best way to describe it. Nothing special. It seems to be a popular place maybe off novelty. Not dying to go back but wouldn’t be upset if I did.“

“EVERY TIME I EAT AT THIS PLACE OR GET IT DELIVERED OR EVEN JUST PICK UP, THE FEW THINGS I CAN SAY IS THAT THE PLACE IS ALWAYS EXTREMELY CLEAN AND THE FOOD IS ALWAYS EXTREMELY FRESH AND AND FULL OF FLAVOR. I WAS CURIOUS HOW THE FOOD WAS SO CONSISTANTLY AWESOME. I ACTUALLY CALLED THE EATERY AND THE OWNER TOOK MY CALL. I ASKED HIM WHAT THE SECRET WAS AND HE SAID "NOT ONLY DO WE GET THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND FRESHEST INGREDIENTS BUT, EVERYTHING IS MADE THE WAY WE WOULD WANT TO EAT IT AND WE DONT CUT ANY CORNERS. TO THE OWNERS AND WORKERS AT PKS, YOU HAVEW GAINED A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!!

Vegetarian options: MANY OPTIONS AVAIL!!!

Kid-friendliness: EVERY ITEM ON THE MENU IS KID FRIENDLY AND SO YUMMY!!!

Parking: PLENTY OF PARKING!!!

Dietary restrictions: JSOR GLATT KOSHER!!!“

“The Wonder Bar is magical - that is all!!! 🎶🦋☘️😇🍾🥂💐🏖️🌊“

“Updating my review based on the owner’s response. While our first visit on a Sunday morning was disappointing due to being overlooked while staff focused on prep, the management response was prompt, direct, and genuinely accountable. They acknowledged the mistake, explained the situation, and took full responsibility without making excuses. It’s clear they take hospitality and feedback seriously and want to make things right. We’re willing to give them another try based on how professionally this was handled.“
