“We had gone to Woodys for years and recently started visiting more frequently. Really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is good. The holiday decor is a whole vibe—the owners and staff really went all out to provide a warm, inviting experience for their customers. We are always greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. I always enjoy the time spent at Woodys, whether with friends or family. The seating options are many as the heated outdoor area is available all year long. Good food+great service+awesome ambiance=a fantastic experience.“

“Absolutely loved The Peach Pit! The staff was beyond friendly. It’s not always easy finding places that are genuinely welcoming to pets, but they went above and beyond.

Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!“

“One of my favorite seafood places in South Jersey shore located next to Shark River. The atmosphere is great with inside and outside seating. This is my 3 rd time going to this place and I plan to go more. Always fresh tasting food and great service. The ocean breeze while eating, a view of the locals passing by with boats on the river while you eat is just relaxing. I highly recommend this place. There is an outside tiki bar as well.“

I can’t tell you how satisfying the ginger beer was on this hot day. You definitely get your money worth when eating from here.“

“My wife and I have dined at SF since it opened. We dined there yesterday, and had the pleasure of background music provided by a fine guitarist. In addition, for the first time in memory in a restaurant, we did not have our senses blasted by deafening and distorting amplification or pounding tympani. Instead of punishing us into submission, the music actually enhanced our dining experience. Why restaurants play insanely loud music at dining time is beyond me. But Scarborough Fair got it right.“

“Everyone is family at Sunsets. Food, view of the river, music and drinks make a great atmosphere watching the Shark River Sunset.“

“We were there yesterday with a large party and had a great time watching the games. We sat outside and our server, Allie, was really on her game. We wanted for nothing all day. The food and drink selection was awesome. Drinks were not lacking in the alcohol department and the plates were plentiful. They also had some creative non-alcoholic options that a few of our friends enjoyed. Looking forward to the next time we can get back. I also loved that the place is dog friendly!“

“I just had the best Cheeseburger that ever had at the Bond Street Bar and Grill that is tucked away and almost hidden on 208 Bond Street in Asbury Park, NJ. The It is a small bar and grill with a dark almost mystical ambiance on a small one-way street. The bar has a warm and welcoming personality featuring great food, good vibes, friendly staff all in an inviting space of a classic pub atmosphere.“

“Very short staffed, long waits from beginning to the end, in as so far, was considering leaving because the check was taking so long.
Did not order desserts, because no one asked what we wanted.
Food is delicious. Atmospheres is nice. The manager or owner was attempting in every way to provide the best service he can.“
