17 Best American Restaurants in Seaside Heights

“Joanne is the literal best! We have come here every summer on vacation, and make sure we are in Joanne's section. She is always polite and has always made sure we had a great experience, as well as all of her other tables at the same time. The food is also great, and the dinner was cheap. The restaurant is very nice inside. Joanne is truly an angel!

Parking: Always busy, so street parking is hard to come by. You have to pay, but it's cheap.“

“Best Stewart's Root Beer anywhere“

“The cheesesteaks were delicious, but I wished I noticed the disgusting fan that was above the ordering counter before I ate there. The fan is full of so much thick dust that I felt sick after eating there. Makes you wonder if the kitchen is really clean.“

“I highly recommend Hemingways it's good food and great music“

“Definitely come eat breakfast here! The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The staff is very attentive and polite. This place is an American classic“

“Absolute favorite spot for pizza, clams on the half shell on the Jersey shore. They make an amazing stile of pizza with pico de Gallo on top, the crust is always thin and crispy! Also the best garlic bread I’ve ever had. My mom and I always try and come visit often from point plesant because it’s that much better here! Also super kind owner, and staff!“

“It’s good food after a long day.“

“Fantabulous character in early ages“

“This hidden gem never disappoints. it is the only restaurant where everyone consistently likes what they ordered. The Seafood Mediterranean is the best I've ever had anywhere and that's due to their sauce. Son always gets seafood paella, husband seafood broccoli rabe. Good service and they also do take out. This place is a must try.“

“I missed all my friends at riggers and razzles bars in sumner Ave seaside hts nj ! I love to all my friends so much“

“Went for dinner recently. There were 4 of us and the bill was $60, which is really good. Killer Mac and cheese, great meal portions! Family friendly. Would go again but also I hear that it can be loud if there is a big game. Side note- they have a cigarette machine! I thought that was cool. Also, Shuttleboard,giant Pac man, and pin ball. The bathrooms are nice too.“

“I didn't take any picture this time, sorry guys! I went with my family, and we had dinner and a few beers on a weekday. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the wait staff was quick and friendly!!!! Nothing to complain about! The Philly I had was really good, great job Everyone at Captain Hooks!!!!!!“

“Best fries. Great location. Workers friendly and attentive. Definitely go back.“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Keep your families AWAY from this place! Seeing a giant poster mounted on the side of your establishment that's this graphic, showing a decapitated sea turtle isn't something my child or any other children need to see while enjoying a beautiful day on the boardwalk in Seaside. Absolutely horrible!“

“EJs is awesome. Bartenders are great, atmosphere is awesome. Always welcoming.... we had our friend visit recently who is disabled and has a service dog. Everyone at EJs was welcoming to both him and his dog. We are smokers so we love thst there is an outdoor space to hang out as well.“

“Great pizza and a friendly staff!“

“Worst experience of my life! I had my micro wedding here and was charged for things I didn't get. No drinks were verbally offered they just had a separate table with pitchers of water on it. We paid $100 extra to have a table set up with lemonade and or iced tea pre ceremony. I was supposed to be able to set up my wedding favors on this table as well. The seafood dish was supposed to have scallops in it and we noticed they omitted them. In the private beach area where we were supposed to have our ceremony they had an event going on up to 15 minutes before my ceremony. They had picnic tables alongside the ceremony just overlaping and pushed against the fence I had to ask them to move so they would not be in my pictures. I had barely any time to set up decorations. The air-conditioning was broke supposedly in the whole restaurant they could not even provide fans so my guests were very hot and uncomfortable. The upstairs was supposed to be our rain plan but we asked if we could have everything up there and the GM would not allow us to move to the upstairs that was air-conditioned and not being used but I was allowed to change into my dress upstairs. We were told it cost more to have it upstairs. I felt like considering the air conditioner not working they should have moved us. Honestly I could go on and on but I'm too exhausted! I felt like I missed out on a lot of photo opportunities and moments bc of how hot and uncomfortable everyone was!“
