Very disappointed by customer service. Google stated closed at 9:00 and was driving from the Philly area and made it by 8:50. Was told last seating was 8:45 and would not accommodate a party of 2. I thought they were kidding at first. Went to Jester’s down the road and had a great meal instead

Literally the best meal I had all week from start to finish. Ryan was our waiter and was so kind and attentive. I can’t wait to come back again at the end of the summer

Excellent family-friendly restaurant for couples, families, and/or groups of 20+.
Upon arriving, i noticed the stone parking lot was quite long. Handicap parking is along the first row, immediately to left of restaurant and clearly labeled with signs. There are plenty of benches along the front wall, and even a covered patio with a foosball table and a few games (2-3 claw machines and a retro style arcade game with joystick and buttons. It wasn't packman but something similar). There is also a covered area if you enter restaurant from front, with plenty of standing room and lined with benches around the perimeter. In addition, there is a large bear statue next to sign for Menz (large billboard style sign), which is excellent for pictures. All guests must arrive prior to being seated. Menz takes reservations, so pending size of party, i suggest you call ahead. There is a bar area, which is beautifully air conditioned, with tvs and great atmosphere. There were probably close to 24-30 booth style tables in bar area, which looked to accommodate 2-6 people total. I noticed hostess was seating tables there, so table service is not handled by bartenders.
There was a variety of food - appetizers, soup and salad, seafood, chicken and veal parmesan, pasta dishes, steaks options, and burgers. Kids menu available for $13.99. All entrees served on a take-home frisbee. Choices included fish sticks, chicken tenders, hot dog, mac n cheese, spaghetti and meatballs or cheeseburger. Kids' meals included one side and drink, a freeze pop for dessert, and kids were given a paper bag for $2 worth of candy from the on-site shop, behind the host/hostess area. Candy variety ran from five cents a piece through $3.40. Other gifts and memorabilia available for purchase.
After being seated, we were served a basket with warmed bread and blueberry muffins to start. Service was excellent and food came out quickly. The waitress brought out 6 different cake options for dessert - all slices looked fresh and moist...a rarity these days. We had an excellent experience at Menz Restaurant. There was so much to look at and see, walking through different rooms. We reserved for 30 people and they had 2 large tables ready before we arrived. Checks could only be split two ways per table. Thankfully we knew prior to going, so one paid with credit card and everyone else used cash. FYI, there is a 3% charge for credit and debit card payments.
Google showed average prices were $40-60 per person. Some of us ordered platters for $24-35, while others got an appetizer, soup and salad which put them at $31. You can eat well and pay $50 per person, or mix and match. The porterhouse steak and lobster tail were the big ticket items. No matter what you're looking for, Menz is great for all kinds of dining options and seemed to be priced appropriately.
Overall, we were extremely happy with our first experience dining at Menz Restaurant. We will surely be returning and making family dinner a tradition every year!

28 minutes to get a salad They were not busy at all. 6 minutes after getting a salad my platter comes out cold. Knife corroded with grease. Bread stone cold not warm. Menu never said a salad was included. Menu said 2 sides included. After asking I learned a side salad could be a side. Asked for a Caesar side salad. Confirmed no charge for that. Waitress asked if we wanted dessert. I said no but she never asked if we wanted coffee ? Then slapped the bill on our table only to find she ended up charging 6 extra dollars for those side Cesar salads that she said no charge for. I asked for a mgr twice. All I heard was sorry you feel that way ??? Horrible management. Horrible timing in the kitchen. Horrible service. The mgr finally showed up and knocked up a whole 10 off. My worth my aggravation not disappointment. The prices are not cheap either

Wow. I used to come here every summer with my family when I was a child (35-40 years ago) and remember Mr. Menz greeting everyone and the penny candy section. :) It was amazing to see not much had changed and the Menz family is running the restaurant so wonderfully. Everyone was so incredibly professional and kind, the food was outstanding and we really had a lovely time. PS - I can’t believe you still serve blueberry muffins with the bread/butter! They were incredible!!! :)

One of our family favorite places. We always visit when we are on vacation but now we even started going off season. The Halloween dinner is such a fun time! They really go all out. Menz is a gem and you should definitely visit. Great food, apps, drinks, and desserts!
