Sean (Shawn?) was our server and was great. My son loved the lamb chops, my daughter loved her burger, my cheese steak was ok. Would definitely try them again.

Hemingway's Cafe, is more then a cafe.
It was eatery, bar, dance hall, sports bar, and private hall. Ambiance wise it spot on. A dark music enriched place to eat with family and friends. The staff were present and attentive. The food was great and filling.
Later in the night a DJ/live music takes the stage by the dance area and the place changes.
I recommend you bring your friends.

Service was a little slow but the food was good. Nice little spot off of the boardwalk. I believe this was the only place around with New England clam chowder except for the boardwalk.

Small eclectic menu. Good happy hour prices. Didn't try the pizza, not tge usual pizza choices so probably can get better NJ style elsewhere.
We had a very enjoyable evening at Hemingway’s. Sean was our server and he was fantastic extremely friendly and helpful with the menu. I had the French breast the chicken was cooked to perfection and the risotto was perfect. My cousin had the lamb chops and cannot stop talking about them she wants to go back tomorrow night for them again she said they were cooked perfectly and were a really nice size. The price couldn’t be beat either.

We moved to Seaside Heights in September 2024, although we have only been to Hemingway's for drinks during a couple of events. Tonight we went to eat there for our first time and both my wife and I ordered only off the specials menu.
Their Lobster Bisque is to die for. There is tons of lobster meat and very tasty (no salt or pepper needed at all).
My wife got the Halibut special with fresh asparagus and risotto, and it was delicious. I got the hanger steak with broccolini and garlic mashed potatoes with garlic herb butter. Everything was flavorful, although the steak was a little undercooked, which is my own fault for not sending it back to cook a little more.
Service was great, and our waitress was very friendly, never leaving us waiting for anything at any point.
They had live music, which was an added bonus.
We will definitely be back to try their main menu and enjoy the atmosphere again.
Update: 8/16: Went back again and had the brisket grilled cheese and the fresh fish special over risotto. Both were amazingly good.

Let me tell you!!! PLACE IS AMAZING!!! Everything from the hospitality, the service, the atmosphere and the food pshhhh it’s just off the wall! There’s nothing on that menu that isn’t a 5+ !! PORK CHOP WOW FRENCH BREAST WOW SHORT RIB WOW SPICY AHI TUNA APP WOW WINGS WOW SOUPS WOW I MEAN DAMN THE WHOLE MENU IS WOW!!! And they for those of you that are gluten free , Hems has half the menu w amazing choices !! Can’t say enough and I hope they continue to stay as good as they are. Finally a place that can fit our big family usually 10-15 people with no questions asked, no problem bringing a stroller and sometimes even getting to enjoy a live performer while enjoying a great meal……man…can’t beat it !! Thank you !!!! And btw hell of an Old fashioned with black cherries and then the espresso martini to end the night I just can’t say enough so happy and grateful that Hems is doing it right. Shout out to the servers and managers and the hostesses who are always accommodating and down to earth.
Def show them love and if you want the best meal on the island when you’re down with the fam or just to go out and grab a drink and a meal with a few people —I highly recommend!!!

The Pork Chop is AMAZING! Atmosphere is great. Been here several times now and with a large party 10-16 people. Seating was ample as it’s a large place. Live music on the days we went. Chill vibe friendly servers. Food is GREAT! Need to visit!
