“Good eats and super nice owners/staff and customers!!“

“We were in town due to a medical procedure and after a long day, we needed to find a place to have dinner. We stumbled upon this gem and were so glad that we did! The food was spot on and the service was great! We will definitely come back when we have to travel here again.“

“First-time dining here, subtle flavors, excellent Mediterranean meal of lamb shank, grilled vegetables and tasty rice. Rice pudding like I’ve never here before. Top 10 meal of my life. Clean restroom. I’ll be back soon.“

“I always enjoy the sunset diner ever since I use to go out with the leauge after bowling and recently when I had my big sister in jersey for a weekend I took her there after bowling we had lunch together this place brings people and family together with excellent service and great food“

“Absolutely love Pop’s Bagels! The bagels are always fresh, perfectly baked, and have just the right texture crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. There’s a great variety of flavors and spreads to choose from, and everything tastes high quality.

The staff is friendly, fast, and keeps things moving even when it’s busy. The shop itself is clean and has a welcoming vibe, which makes the experience even better. Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast or a coffee, you’re in and out without a long wait.

Highly recommend Pop’s Bagels if you’re looking for a great bagel spot definitely one of my go-to places! 🥯“

“Great place to grab a drink, hang out with friends and enjoy great beer. Such a wide selection compared to what's typically available retail, including special bottles and barrel aged brews. Place is not as noisy as a lot of tasting rooms, plenty of seating and sports in two screens. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Glad this one is hidden away so that only the real fans will find it.“

“I can’t even begin to explain how amazing these bagels are!! The outside has that perfect bite and crunch, while the inside is soft and fluffy like a pillow. This place is a 10/10. The bagels are fresh, flavorful, and exactly what a bagel should be! You can tell they actually care about making a quality bagel here. Safe to say this is my new go-to spot!“

“I have edited my review. I went back after 2 years and the food and service have completely deteriorated. The food is bad now. The chicken is hard and seems uncooked. The service is bad now they messed up my order and they didn't even apologize and just hung up. I hate writing this review because this place used to be my favorite.“

“Ginza is hands down one of the best spots for sushi in the area. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and the presentation was on point. The all you can eat menu is a huge plus with tons of options, and everything comes out quick without sacrificing quality. The staff was super friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to regularly.“

“The fresh ingredients, the unique flavors, the spice-level made-to-order and the hospitality make this one of New Jersey's best restaurants!“

“French toast with granola and bananas was the best !!!!“

“I searched for a restaurant in Asbury that offered vegan, gluten free options and came across Reyla’s. I’m so happy I found this gem! I truly appreciate the thought that went in to create these dishes. Most restaurants don’t put much thought into offerings for people with dietary restrictions. There was something for everyone in our party. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with an amazing flavor profile and presentation. We all loved each dish including dessert. Jules was our delightful server who was attentive, professional and great at her job.“

“Super delicious Italian cuisine, excellent dessert menu, super ambiance, free parking and to top it all off; you can stroll the boardwalk to enjoy the cool sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean.“

“The food was great, the atmosphere was excellent. Next time I'm back east, I'll be eating here again.“

“Amazing service. Even better food. The pajeon is super crispy & full of flavor. The chicken katsu is very tender. All the banchan dishes were delicious. Bathroom was clean and included a heated toilet seat which was such a pleasant surprise. Highly highly recommend. This place is the real deal.“

“What a great time! I'm not sure why some reviews say ride staff. I didn't see that at all. Tables are a little toght but not that bad. Service was exceptional and they have a TON of gluten free food. Save room for dessert. Only thing is go early or you'll be waiting even though you have reservations and BYOB. Can't wait to go back!“

“I’ve been a customer since they opened, and I still get excited when I sit down to a Love Bowl (tempeh and spicy peanut). The owners are dedicated, hardworking, and their food is delicious and satisfying. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-15“

“Wow the pizza was amazing. Love the thin crust, the sauce was good. Just yummy. Next time I’d only order just pepperoni cause the bacon was just ok. We ordered an appetizer of fried ravioli (skip appetizers, just get pizza. Trust me) the vibes of the place were great after a day in the ocean.“

“Excellent service by Don. We were fortunate to be seated in front corner window which gave us privacy. Every dish ordered was excellent, including dessert. The back room includes a brick oven. Worth the 5 stars I posted!“

“We ordered for delivery through DoorDash and I do not like to post bad reviews about anyone. It could have been an off day and it happens. We ordered the cinnamon pancakes, BLT on wheat and the eggs Benedict. I love eggs Benedict, the potatoes were good. It needed a little more hollandaise but the sad thing about my platter was it had half an egg shell. Just please make it better or be very careful. Thank you“

“Excellent authentic Mexican food. Server was great and knowledgeable about gluten allergies as well. If you want great Mexican food definitely check this place out.“

“This is delicious Indian food. We sampled many dishes and each was flavorful and carefully prepared. The vegetable fritters were light and crunchy. I especially liked the Mugalai Chicken Korma sauce. We will definitely visit again.“

“I have been going to Ada’s for probably close to a decade if not longer. I am familiar with Ethiopian cuisine and she truly delivers every time. While I can’t speak to the other cuisines I have learned over time that her heart is in every dish. The doro wot is top! (Well it all is). The AP location is lovely. I can’t wait to go back, and that is coming from a Californian.“

“Great drinks and atmosphere! The food is always amazing! Consistently delicious. The service is wonderful from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.“

“There is no better place in Asbury The service is impeccable. The vibe is fantastic. The food, nothing short of sublime. We had an amazing memorable dinner. The parm is exceptional and enough for 2 or even 3. The Caesar salad fresh and delicious. Pasta made fresh. Who could ask for anything more ?“

“Amazing food and the service is great too. The portions are big, I get 2 meals! Come in for the baked items, so yummy!“

“We have been going to Connie's for several years now and always love the great food , friendly staff and atmosphere. My favorites for breakfast are 3 eggs over easy , hashbrowns , bacon or sausage patties , rye or wheat toast along with coffee. My wife's favorite is blueberry pancakes or french toast and also scrambled eggs sometimes with home fries or hashbrowns. I wish they would also add eggs benedict to the menu as this is also one of my wife Wendy's favorites . All in all a great place for individuals , friends or families to gather for a great breakfast or lunch with fair prices.“
