Chicken HandPie was quite unique. Flaky light and tasty. The French Dip Sandwich was done perfectly bread had the perfect crust yet still soft inside. Steak cooked perfectly. Now the GUMBO !!!!! Just insane with flavor and depth. Robust, rich full of flavor. Every bite was a different taste whether it was the crab,shrimp, sausage or crayfish . All around an excellent place. So glad we came out tonight ! Thank you !“

“Great food, great vibe, fun location! What more is there?“

“I had a great experience at The Squire at Branches in West Long Branch. My food was absolutely delicious and came out quickly, exactly when I expected it, which made the whole visit even better. The service was outstanding, and both managers, Stacy and Faye, were amazing—friendly, attentive, and clearly dedicated to making sure guests are happy. Everything from the atmosphere to the quality of the food made this a place I’ll definitely be coming back to and recommending to others.“

“I can't say enough good things about this place, obviously a waterfront beach bar has an amazing view and cool atmosphere, they're constantly hosting events, live music, which attracts a great crowd as well. And by the way, in my opinion as far as bar food goes they're top tier. Not just burgers and chicken fingers but kabobs and short ribs and things you typically see as bar food. Awesome bar food, get a spot on a couch in front of a fire pit next to the water with live music... hard to beat that“

“Mix is a decent place to meet up with friends for the evening. It's closer to a bar/ lounge than a for food. The drinks are good and they do have decent bites to eat. It's kept nice and clean inside with good service. The interior has an updated and sort of hip feel to it. It's a good place for a fun night out with friends.“

“Food was delicious and service was great.“

“Visiting from out of town and stopped by based on other reviews. This place did not disappoint! Great food and drinks. Bartenders and staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!“

“This bar is exactly what your looking for. I don’t even know what else to say. I’ve never been there but I spoke to someone on the phone and had an A+ experience. My buddy Was hiding from his soon to be wife and they absolutely held their part. Can’t wait to go slam some beers!!“

“I eat a LOT

Somehow even kid friendly enough for my 2 kids under 2

Incredible time

Super reasonable prices“

“Boyle's is an enduring neighborhood bar that has been in business for decades. It's unassuming and sits in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood. Don't let that deter you from visiting. The drinks are very good and the staff is consistently friendly and accommodating.“

“First time here and I wish it wasn’t love loved this place everything was beyond perfect and delicious food drinks (wish I took pictures but when something looks and smells that good u don’t think of pictures)service definitely coming back.“

“you dads famous pizza💖 not to mention ur dads award winning personify 🥰🧡“

“I love buffalo chicken sandwiches and have gone as far as Philadelphia to get one. However, I recently tried a buffalo chicken sandwich at Nicholas. I was speechless…literally. My brain instantly went into survival mode trying to calculate how and why this sandwich was at least ten times better than any other buffalo chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. Not even a close second place. Game changing. Life changing. It’s like I knew nothing about buffalo chicken a moment before taking a bite. I was humbled instantly. Nicholas Barrel and Roost found the cheat code!“

“The staff is incredible. They do not serve desert, BUT they are affiliated w Copper Canyon which is next door. The bartender told me if I got dessert from them I could sing happy birthday here.
I called the copper canyon, and that only did they give me dessert, but they delivered it on a plate with candles over to gaslight! Thank you to the bartender at GL and server at Copper Canyon who helped me 2-28-26!🎉“

“We split the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and the kitchen sink fries, and it was ok. I guess it would be good bar food, but the fries weren't seasoned, so it was good with the sauce they put on, but when we got fries with the sandwich, the plain fries were unseasoned. We didnt really think this should be under "dive bar" so yea. Refers to food as nips and idk if it was the chicken tenders or just some other item used“

“Great place to come and have a great bloody Mary and other drinks“

“Step through the doors of The Globe and into a world where time slows, where laughter mingles with the hum of the game, and where the clink of a perfectly poured pint feels like a familiar embrace. Since 1840, this hallowed spot has anchored downtown Red Bank—not just a sports bar, but a living relic of camaraderie, tradition, and the simple pleasure of a burger and a beer.

Once an inn sheltering weary travelers, today it shelters the spirit of the town. The barstools tell stories, the taps flow with over 30 stellar brews—domestic and foreign alike—and the famed Globe Burger is a rite of passage for any local or visitor. And if you're in the know? The pork roll fries—golden, crisp, and utterly decadent—are a must.

Fifteen flat screens glow, capturing every play, every moment, while seasoned bartenders—some here for decades—pour with precision and warmth. Their tenure speaks volumes: a sign of a place run right, of ownership that cares, of a bar where you’re not just served—you’re known.

In a world that races ahead, chasing trends and fleeting fads, The Globe remains steadfast, a beacon of what a bar should be. No pretense, no gimmicks—just good company, great drinks, and the kind of authenticity you can’t manufacture. Pull up a seat, order a Guinness (poured to perfection), and soak it in. Some places fade. The Globe endures.“

“Been coming here since it's opening. It's a good place to have a delicious sandwich with a cold draft and enjoy the music of talented musicians.

This year, the service and kitchen staff are back in sync. The menu choices are perfect and the food is very good. Sometimes when it's a busy night, the bartenders also work as wait staff and take table orders for food and drinks. Service is slower so expect to wait on those nights.

We enjoy Taco Night Tuesdays and Open Mic. We also love Trivia Nights and the live music on the weekends. We hope to see this wonderful local establishment stay around for a long time! It would be even better if they could expand the building. Perhaps another floor with a wrap around balcony to take in the amazing water view. Overall, we highly recommend this fine establishment. It's truly a great place to eat, drink, and tap your feet to some good music!“

“Great local bar. Friendly bartendress Donna sold me on a delicious new mixed drink from a local distillery. Yum!Nice outside area to smoke, play corn hole or horse shoes. Almost don't want to leave such a good review.. Gotta keep this place aNeighborhood gem! ❤️“

“Amazing food, view and atmosphere! Darrel and his team are top notch. Highly recommend lunch, dinner or happy hour at this spot!“

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

“Went to the Boardwalk Boggie party at Low Dive on Sunday. Absolutely had the best time time I’ve ever had n Asbury Park . The crowd was really fun everyone was there to have a good time . Super super fun and the cocktails were well made . Run don’t walk to Low Dive . If you are fortunate enough to be around on a Sunday night do not miss Boardwalk Boogie it’s a real good time !“

“The AP Rooftop is hands-down one of the best dining experiences in New Jersey. Let’s start with the AP Burger it’s the star of the show. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor, it just might be the most delicious burger you’ll find anywhere in NJ. Every appetizer we tried was absolutely incredible—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and downright delicious. You honestly can’t go wrong with any choice on the menu. Cocktails are solid and on par with what you’d expect from most shore spots—well made, refreshing, and a great complement to the meal. But it’s the food and service that truly shine here. Attentive staff, a welcoming vibe, and top-tier flavors make this rooftop spot a must-visit. Highly recommend. We’ll be back again and again.“

“Most amazing views you could ask for on the water. \nWatch the boats come in and the ferry go out. \n\nThe sangria comes by the picture and is exceptionally good. \nThe service was very good and bar scene was vibrant. \nThe food is very good too. \nYou go here for the view and get good eats to top it off!“

“Food was good 👍 the atmosphere is amazing!“

“First time to the restaurant last night and we loved everything! Had pork dumplings, spaghetti with clams and the crab cakes. Great service too! We will be back 😀👍🏼“

“My first time here. Loved it. The food was delicious! Felt like I immediately was in a neighborhood restaurant. And the prices weren’t over the top. Very reasonable.“

“Great food, service and atmosphere! Cynthia was a friendly and caring waitress. We really enjoyed her service. She added a lot to our experience.“

“I am eager to share my review of this exquisite restaurant in Long Branch Maltese. The cuisine is exceptional and the staff go above and beyond to ensure a special experience, which is why I highly recommend this establishment 100%. Thank you for providing us with unforgettable moments.“

“We actually didn’t eat here, just stopped by on our way somewhere because my daughter was feeling so sick in the car. The waiter was so nice and welcoming. With a great sense of humor that added lightness to the situation he kindly Allowed her to use the bathroom and sent us on our way with free drinks to help her out. Thank you so much! We are already planning to come back in purpose!“

“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.“

“We went to Brickhouse today and had Brooke as our waitress she was awesome! We had the chili nachos and pretzel for appetizers they were huge and really good! The beer is always ice cold and no matter what you order the food is always great especially the cheesesteak! Highly recommend brickhouse in Neptune Nj“

“My husband and I ate here last night. Great food and service.“

“Stopped at Val's Tavern because we had a 2 hour gap between a wedding and reception. Service was excellent and so was the food. Our server, Gabby, went above and beyond when we needed some Tylenol. HIGHLY recommend Val's!“

“HOW are you guys after the Hurricane? Carol Rosin's grandson is asking, hope you guys are O.K. because It would be a tragedy if there's any permanent damage to what has remained consistent for many decades. PLEASE get back to me. LOVE from Paul David Fenz (Paolo) we went almost every summer from '72-'81. If all is O.K. I give you guys an EXCELLENT rating“

“A great place to dine, dance, listen to live music and meet people. Jamian and his staff go all out to deliver top notch service. The drinks and food selection is crafted to please everyone and it never disappoints. We always have a good time at Jamian's!“
