50 Best American Restaurants near Point Pleasant

“Table of 4 with no duplicates on apps or entrees so that’s a lot of ingredients. Every one of those ingredients were prepared to perfection! A thick cut pork chop you could cut with a fork, mussels that I’ve never had that tender, the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had and the list goes on. Every person there raved about their meal. All the best, you’re definitely raising the bar in the area. Oh and our server was super friendly.“

We’ve never gotten less than exceptional service here. Check it out if you haven’t gone yet!“

Already looking forward to a return visit. Highly recommend!“

“Had lunch today at Houlihans. I haven't been here in a while, so I wanted to treat myself by eating at my favorite restaurant.
And my 3 favorite servers now work in the morning: Mackenzie, Brooke & Jenna.
I had the early bird dinner special: chicken parmesan with a salad and dessert for $17.99. it's a good deal because they chicken parmesan by itself is regularly $17.99.

My server Mackenzie was great: polite, attentive, and fast. As are all of the servers here.

It was sad seeing one of the hosts, Justin leaving. This is his last day. He's going back to college. He and hostess Paige are both great. No matter how busy they never lose their cool. That's important bec

The food always great.

Parking: Parking is free and always available, even on busy weekends.“

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.“

“Came here for a quick, Sunday homestyle breakfast and was not disappointed at all. The atmosphere is unique, to say the least, but also gives a lot to start conversations amongst the table. Serving portions were superb and food was very tasty. I have seen other comments and reviews that were very negative and nasty, but everybody can have a bad day once in a while. They were complaining on the service and owner/waiter being rude and yelling. I've seen more positive ratings than negative ones. While not everybody has the same humor, people can definitely be some Debbie downers. All in all, we had a nice experience and enjoyed the food. Ihop who?? Lol will def be back!!!“

“The Rueben for sure.. fantastic. Best in the Tom’s River area. The chicken fingers and fries are amazing..the Zesty chicken wrap is definitely one of the best wraps I’ve ever had. The daily specials are awesome, filling, and great price. They are definitely not skimpy with their portions. Cheese steak special is great they def hook it up. And that’s all I’ve tried so far, def looking forward to trying everything on the menu. Absolutely 100% recommend this place for sure. And the owner and all the staff are very friendly they all do an amazing job. They even give my dog a treat when we come up to the pick up window! Cant wait to try the new soup and slider menu !!“

“We tried Blender on New Year’s Eve 2024! Great atmosphere and beautiful restaurant! Food was absolutely amazing! We had the filet mignon and the Lorenzo. Filet was exquisite! The Lorenzo was yummy! Dessert was just as great! Our waiter was extremely friendly and attentive! Highly recommend you and your friends give this restaurant a try!“

I also liked their egg sandwiches and homemade hash browns. Looking forward to trying more food from here. It is nice to have friendly service while enjoying the view of the boats as they move through the inlet.“

“Great Lobster and soup was delicious. I highly recommend“

“Most relaxing place to dine.pancakes fantastic. Great coffee. Great people come to eat & relax.“

“My husband and I LOVE River Rock's outdoor dining. We enjoy seeing the boats coming and going while we eat. The Manasquan River is a beautiful sight. Any food items that we have ordered are delicious. Lauren Guenther is one of our favorite servers. She's a sweetheart. She's very friendly, personable, and very focused on what she's doing. We know Lauren from when she served at Carrabba's. She was very special to us back then as she is now. Being local residents, we visit River Rock frequently during the summer and we will ALWAYS request either Lauren or Kelsey Conover because we simply adore them both. River Rock is our outdoor Happy Place during the summer. 💗💗“

“Walked in and sat at the bar, our bartender was a wonderful woman named Leen. We’ve been to a few Applebee’s but I have to say Leen was easily one of the most exceptional bartenders we’ve ever had at an Applebee’s or any other bar for that matter. Friendly, attentive, funny and just overall a great person to talk to. Our food came much faster than I or my girlfriend had expected (and it was outstanding). Everything we could’ve asked for, if I could give more stars I would! 11/10“

“Love this place! Always come here with my family! The waiters/waitresses (especially Patrick) are always very kind! I always get the Royal Red Robin! It is amazing. But the only problem is that the yolk is always kinda runny. But other than that, everything else is perfect!“

“A very good place for American food!
The portions are huge, the staff very friendly and the ambience is great!
Located directly on the beach with great seating options!
I will definitely be back!
Thank you very much!“

“The food was delicious, featuring an assortment of teas and coffee options. I enjoyed the Huevos Ranchero bowl, and we also shared the Great Pumpkin Pancake special, which was truly outstanding. Although this is not my first visit, I can confidently say that I have never had a bad experience here. The quality of the food is complemented by excellent service, an appealing menu, and a pleasant atmosphere.“

“I was attending a wedding in Lakewood, NJ. There are surprisingly very few hotels nearby there that aren't on the shore. I had in the past stayed at a Ramada in Toms River, but I learned that it had been sold and turned into an office building. For some reason, Lakewood has very few hotels. I had stayed at one of the only other nearby hotels, a Hilton, but it is overpriced. I saw the Days Hotel, and it got good reviews. The bride's grandmother told me a friend had stayed there and had given a good report, so I booked a reservation. The Days Hotel Toms River was a pleasant surprise. It was the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in! No dirt, no signs of bugs. no stains in the bathtub! No cracked tiles or mismatched wallpaper. And I asked for maid service after the first night, and they gave it to me, complete with all fresh towels, bedding, and amenities, made the bed, vacuumed, and cleaned the coffee area, even not waiting until late in the afternoon, as some hotels do. And it looked like the hotel had just been redecorated. Not 1950s dreary with holes in the carpet and broken tiles in the bathroom. Very tasteful with light, simple colors: just the way I like it. The hotel was very quiet, no rowdy guests, and it was set back from the highway, so no road noise, as well. And a big parking lot in front (free) with no driving around and around for a space, even after I returned from the wedding late at night. And it is conveniently located to the main streets leading to Lakewood, which was important to me. Staff was nice, and there were two computers in the lobby with Internet + a printer for guests to use. It's a four-story hotel, and I had a room on the top floor, which I had requested. I had noticed before I left that the room rate (AAA - two double beds) since I made the reservation had gone down. I pointed that out when I checked in, and the agent behind the desk matched that rate. And there was always someone behind the desk, regardless of time of day. And they answered the phone!! There was a restaurant in the hotel that I didn't use, but they were very nice and gave me plastic silverware and disposable dishes so I could eat in my room the special-diet food I had brought. The room also had a large mini-fridge (that functioned well!) So overall I would say it was much better even than staying at the old Ramada. And better than the Hilton. at a much lower price. And 1, 000 times better than an old Best Western I stayed in once, which apparently is also kaput. Only complaint was that one of only two elevators was out of order, and it wasn't fixed the whole time I was there (3 days, 2 nights). But there usually wasn’t a wait for the other elevator.“

“My husband just stopped and got a PIG OUT Ribs , brisket , pulled pork+chicken, So much food will be having it for 2 more meals. Excellent smoke, ribs melt in your mouth, Hushpuppies like crunchy little bites of Southern Sunshine...the coleslaw fresh and the Cornbread should be listed inder deserts it's so sweet and moist. I would give them 7 stars if possible.“

“Creative menu, excellent food and the staff was attentive. Highly recommended.“

“I would give them 3 out of 5 stars. since the day they opened, inconsistent with food and drinks. one day the sliders are medium, the next well done. one day your $16 martini is full, the next it's missing the top inch of the drink. one day the pizza is ok, the next time is soup. last time the service was just ok. tonight she was great.“
