“I’ve had multiple dinners here with family and my gf. We love the food, sushi is so good. It’s a great vibe and good spot to go when you want great food but don’t want to get super fancy dressed. Definitely be back soon!I’ve read some of the other reviews… seems like a lot of these people leaving bad reviews have eitherA. Never worked in the service industry orb. Are the kind of people who complain about EVERYTHING…“
“Svc was very good but the food was outstanding from top to bottom at the Sea CrestScallops 9/10Crab cakes 9/10Ny strip 10/10Skirt steak 10/10All the sides we had were great too..what the heck is the secret to those fries OMG, best fry I ever had..expect 100 a head with drinks apps and a dessert to share ..It's in the old Doolan's so it needs a face lift but they are on their way...cool little speak easy built in as well so the parents have somewhere to chill while the kids are at the sweet 16 in the catering room...read a book by the fire and have some milk n cookies ?“
“Words can't describe how good this place is. I drive 1.5 hours just to eat here. I've been to hundreds of restaurants, and Spanos is the only one I have ever been to that consistently provides the best hospitality. Chef Joe Spanos greets every table with a warm smile and some house appetizers. The food is out of this world... can't wait to come back again this summer!“
“If I had to describe the food I just had at Manera's, it could be done in two words: absolutely outstanding. I've been eyeing up Manera's since they first opened, and replaced the now-gone Famous Dave's BBQ. Having heard nothing but good things about it, and seeing that they had a steak au poivre burger - I knew I needed to give it a shot. Fast forward to today, and a quick lunch trip later, I'm officially hooked. I arrived at 12:00 on a Sunday, with the place absolutely chock full of patrons (they had two parties that had booked the place). Despite this, service was absolutely stellar, our waitress was incredibly attentive and helpful, and the food came out stunningly quickly for being so crowded. My burger came out exactly as I ordered it (medium rare), and I've gotta say, it might be one of the best burgers I've eaten in my life. On par with Pat Lafrieda burgers in terms of meat quality, and the sauce, brie, and char all lived in perfect harmony. I'll be thinking of that burger for weeks to come. Even the fries were perfectly cooked! Decor is a little sparse, which would be the only 'downside' I can think of. Personally, I dine out for food, not ambiance, so this isn't a huge deal to me. All in all, if lunch being THIS good was any indication, I'll certainly be back for dinners in the future. An absolute gem in a town that's full of entirely too many chain food restaurants, and one that I highly suggest folks give a try to. Absolutely top notch!“
“Omg. The chicken Frangelica! First time visiting the new location and boy was it great! Our server (J) was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. She laughed with us, catered to our needs and made perfect recommendations. Can’t wait to go back!“
“This is a lovely spot! You'd think it's mostly for the summer with the ceviches, but they have all sorts of tasty hot dishes perfect for all year round. We had the grilled shrimp entree and a seafood stew -- it was so warm, hearty, and delicious! I'd come back again in a heartbeat.“
“This is our go to restaurant because we always know we will have a great meal. The food is amazing. Staff is on point and so professional. Kate, our server was one of the sweetest people we have met. Made our meal even more special. Thank you for an awesome meal and we will be back!!“
“We had a truly wonderful experience here. The staff at the host stand were so friendly and engaging. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server, Julianna, who was an absolute rock star. The place is so warm and inviting with the giant fireplace and decor. The atmosphere is great here. All that and then the food being so delicious and the service being so stellar makes for a great night out. Do yourselves a favor and make a reservation here ASAP!“
“I love Daniel's Bistro. Have been going for years, and most recently about a month ago, and it was perfect. It has great vibe, staff is personable, it was a group of five so we ordered a lot of appetizers and desserts, too. Will be back again soon.“
“We came here on a Saturday night with a reservation for a group of 6. You enter through the pizza shop to get to the dining room and were promptly seated. Our server was excellent! She was very polite, friendly, did not mind repeating herself and was very patient with the elderly members of our group. The food was delicious, the portions were huge and everyone enjoyed their selection. Found a new gem with great prices plus BYOB. Only downside is the dining room gets a little loud. But we will definitely go back!“
“Picked up 2 - Feast of the 7 Fishes for Christmas Eve, and my family and I ate like kings!! One traditional and one lemon garlic, prepared with Pinot and just so easy to cook using the QR code right on the side of the pot! Would recommend The Boiling Point for big or small gatherings. Their deserts are great, too!“
“This family owned franchise location goes above and beyond with there customer service and there attention to detail when it comes to your dining experience, from the bread and olive oil in the beginning of your meal to the amazing desserts and cocktails at the end. The cozy old school atmosphere is the best, compared to all the other restaurants in its class that follow the new look of modern plain themed dining. Highly recommend the seafood here as it is literally handpicked by the owner meticulously for your pleasure.“
“Great customer service. Family business who cares about customers. Food quality is amazing and love their “specials” consistent taste and plenty of options! Portion sizes are adequate and you can tell they just really put a lot of love into every “
“Go Back In Time… (and I mean waaaay back) when every single bite of food, explodes with natural flavor, not spices but the genuine homemade tastes like Nonna made!Even the atmosphere brought me back decades; we walked in and were greeted by the owner with such warmth. I instantly felt like I knew him (though to be clear, I don’t). And I hope you can understand it) this is his kitchen, that he opens up to you, with love. The place- is like his home, like a big dining room. You’ll instantly feel at home, like family.He makes everything EVERYTHING from scratch and you can taste it!I had The BEST Pizza of my life! AndI had stuffed rigatoni in vodka sauce , my eyes rolled back in my head! There was so much but it was outta this world!You gotta go!Vegetarian options: There’s tons to choose from. They’ll make what you wantKid-friendliness: It’s very family friendly“
“Our favorite seafood restaurant in the area! Their food is always incredibly fresh and well prepared. Casual, authentic ambiance, and BYOB which is always a plus. Our favorites are the sushi, lobster roll, crab cakes, and lobster bisque. Highly “
“Jean, our server was pleasant, high energy, fast, quick witted, most attentive and will become your best friend as soon as you meet her. Food and cocktails were outstanding !! Live music by Andy Russo was a pleasant surprise - playing all of our favorite Bruce songs with a special guest joining him playing Stevie Nicks Landslide! Mr C’s was one of the most pleasant dining experiences we’ve had since we’ve moved to Asbury park. This dining experience will not disappoint! We will be back in the near future and cannot wait to be back here in the summer and go up to the sunset deck!“
“OK, I know it’s not summer yet. However we visited the shrimp box for the first time and we have to say it was excellent! Our server Taylor was superior and went above and beyond. The atmosphere is amazing and the food is delicious. We will definitely be back And we highly recommend this spot whether you’re on vacation or you live here year-round“
“BEST lobster outside Maine & I've Summered in Maine since 1961. I only order the Connecticut roll, warm, dripping with large buttery pieces of claw & chopped tail on a traditional soft lobster roll. Delicious! Better flavor, fresher than lobster at the shore's best known seafood restaurants. And a few $ cheaper. I tried the mac & cheese w/ lobster once but frankly, lobster is way too delicate to drown in that sandwich, but it was a noble sandwich for fans. I stick to exactly 1 thing now: 5 stars for their CT lobster roll at Cousins truck, Brick, NJ.“
“Fresh, delicious seafood for a fair price. Friendly service and good recommendations. A hidden gem amongst the locals. $54 got us 6 long neck clams, 6 coconut fried shrimp, large crab cake, cup of New England clam chowder, side of coleslaw and lobster roll. My only critique is the red pepper in the lobster roll was a little forward. Clams were very fresh and crab cake was one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend.“
“This is our 4th time there. First time with original owner back on. Always first rate. Had the elk rack with braised cabbage. Absolutely stellar. My wife had the classic double cut pork chop. We love this place. Our waitress Bridget was phenomenal. So nice & pleasant and a pleasure!! She’s awesome.“
“Had a great second visit to Sea Grass! As mentioned in other reviews this restaurant is BYOB, so we started with our wine (which they nicely brought an ice bucket for) and the oyster special. My boyfriend really appreciated how the oysters weren't overly salty and the pear glaze added a good flavor. Since we had such a large appetizer, we decided to split the halibut for our entree. We were pleasantly surprised when our waitress brought out two plates, pre-split for us. The halibut had a nice herb crust and was served over lobster risotto (and they definitely did not skimp on the lobster!!). Overall, lovely dining experience!“
“One of our favorite restaurants—consistently great food, cocktails. Service can sometimes vary but last night it was awesome. The manager was fabulous and exceeded our expectations to make even our youngest guest thrilled. We will keep coming back and loving this oceanfront spot!“
“Everything was excellent!! We really enjoyed it all. I had the meatball app and scallops both delicious. My husband had the special Chilean sea bass and Thai mussels. Our friends had the beet salad and fluke and one of the pastas. No one had leftovers—it was gone! We are too quick for photos sorry! We’ll definitely be back ?“
“Pier 281 is easily the BEST marina at the Jersey Shore! It has an awesome luxurious chill vibe. The location can’t be beat with the inlet nearby and the close proximity to Windward Beach with Brick Summerfest fireworks and the awesome pirate ship for added ambiance! The owners are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond to keep the marina very well maintained. I personally love the fact that it is not HUGE, so you can get to know some people, but you can also have a lot of privacy to just relax and enjoy! It truly is the ideal marina and has allowed my family to create countless memories to last a lifetime! ??⛵️“
“Went night before Valentine's. Got a great table. Our server, Jason, was fantastic; friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and attentive. Food was amazing, as usual. The special, "Chatham Cod Casino" was beyond delicious. Excellent experience.“
“Overall a very good experience celebrating my birthday & a friend's. Our waiter Dylon, did an excellent job making food recommendations & checkin up on us. The food seemed a bit pricey (I know everything has gone up in price) but was delicious. One thing I would mention is when the folks come around to the table to clear places, glasses, etc. maybe coach them to wait a bit and remove mostly all the dishes at the time time. Outside of that this place is a hit! Keep up the great work!“
“My children had a 70th birthday dinner there for me on 1/20. The food was amazing! The service was outstanding, and the birthday cake, well I seriously could have eaten the entire cake! Everything about this restaurant is outstanding. There were 12 of us at the table, they were welcoming and right on top of everything. I highly recommend this place! You won’t be sorry. Oh the the entertainer singing was awesome! Very nice, I will be back.“
“I want to give a huge shout out/thank you to the owner of this restaurant. She went out of her way to show up early yesterday so I could purchase a small gift card. I had time restraints and don't live .near by.My brothers favorite restaurant !! GREAT FOOD AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.Love the outside seating in the summer .Thanks again Rajun Cagun !“
“First visit for table of four-Red Snapper, Pork chop special x2and Rigatoni special absolutely fabulous. Yes the meatballs are out of this world! Two gentle suggestions if I may, serve the Zabaglione/berries in a parfait glass not a dinner plate. Table was extremely wobbly, our waitress handed us two shims to crawl under table to fix! Would have been more appropriate for the two young male busboys to do.“
“The food is outstanding. Ate here for the 1st time and we were amazed at how great and fresh the food is. Definitely highly recommend to everyone. We got the lobster, but I ordered the tacos because you get more for the same price and I have to say the salsa that's made fresh is great and the fresh chips are the best I have ever had in my life. Well worth the money and will definitely be returning. My only issue is the seating area is tight and separate from the kitchen, which the poor servers have to go in and out of the doors to get the food and not a good set up.“
“Great small Italian restaurant with all fresh ingredients ,made with love and small Mom and Pop atmosphere.Parking: Plenty of room al, easy to pull in, and not an accident waiting to happen like many places ..Kid-friendliness: Absolutely kid friendly.. Misses Illiano gives my little boy free garlic knots when we stop in . Went to school with the owners sons 25 plus years ago and they remember me like it was yesterday...“
“My family and I have been eating from Norah's for YEARS. The food is DELICIOUS! The vibe is humble and family oriented. Every time I come I order something different and it's always on the money! The food is made to order and the quantities are very generous! If you want food made fresh with pure caribbean style & flavor, head to Norah's, you won't be disappointed!“
“I am so happy to have found such a great place to grab lunch at! They offer so many gluten free options and also understand allergies which is amazing! I work in the area and I was so hungry and wanted something easy. So I went in and got a Greek hummus wrap on GF wrap. It was amazing! I also learned they do catering and all gluten free as well. I can’t wait to go back! The wrap I had was super delicious and fresh. I can’t wait to try more food from here!Dietary restrictions: Gluten and vegan“
“You will not ever have a better flounder sandwich on rye bread anywhere. Only warning is that if you get it to go, the bread will get soggy from the coleslaw side so I recommend separating the sides. The absolute best flounder sandwich anywhere.“
“Found this local gem a few years back by accident while traveling for work and loved it. Well, back after a year and the place got a much deserved makeover inside and out - Food is still great - brought friends who enjoyed the onion soup and the chicken and fish française. Fish oreganata was also well prepared. Very large local bar crowd. Nick is still a wonderful host. Get there before 6 or the place fills up! Enjoy!“
“Good food, good service, even in the off season. I come here as often as I can with a friend of mine who lives in the area. It's become something of a tradition. The crab dip to start with is phenomenal, and it is also a fish market in the back. If buying and cooking fish isn't your thing, then the BYOB restaurant might be more of your thing. I love that the shore has places like this. We started off with the buffalo shrimp, the seafood risotto special, and the fried calamari. When a place also serves the tentacles is a good sign. Entrees were the surf and turf and the Alaskan King Crab dinner. I also recommend the clam pot dinner. Mangia! Buy some extra crab dip in the back on your way out. If you come during the summer season expect a wait, but it is worth it.“
“Went with my husband today, he had the crab cake sandwich with house cut fries, both were delicious. I had the blackened shrimp poke bowl. First time I had a poke bowl and it will definitely will not be my last. I only gave the atmosphere a 4 star because it was super loud inside and I basically yelled the entire time to talk. We had Victoria as our server and she was an excellent one at that. Prompt and extremely pleasant. We will go back again to try something else and hopefully have her again as our server.“
“This restaurant has an old fashioned pub atmosphere. I got seared scallops special on their specials menu. Scallops cooked perfectly served with light avocado grapefruit and pickled onions. Their burgers are supposedly really good as well. Their butter was infused with something sweet, so of course, was delicious. And their wedge salad was one of the best I've ever had. It had a light blue cheese dressing with tons of extra blue cheese and a lot of bacon and tomatoes. Absolutely delicious.“
“I have been going to this restaurant for a number of years. The staff is always lovely. Very well trained and kind. The food is superb. Always cooked well and delicious. The fireplace room is my favorite. The live music is always tasteful. Really a great spot!!“
“First visit to the Spanish potato, food was excellent, the service was great we had John! Highly recommend for a great meal and good time!! Sangria was wonderful!!Parking: Plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp right in front to get in“
“The best pizzeria in Brick to grab a slice or sit down for a fire dinner. The pepperoni and sausage was exactly what a meat lovers pie should be. Also, the owner made my pie and was very friendly and accommodating to anything we needed. Love when the guy making the dough is the guy making the dough ?“
“Such a nice place! Came for late-night dinner, food was very good as was the service! Friendly, attentive. The serving size was plenty enough, although I could've eaten more it was that good! Chicken Alfredo very good, as was yhe chicken parm!! Bring your own wine seemed to be the trend, older crowd 50+ at the time, large groups having a wonderful time meant this was a friendly & classy place for the experienced patron!“
“Wow! We may have found our new favorite place! Oceanside,veranda seating was warm and cozy, even in the rain. Highly recommend. The entire staff provided superb service and everyone we encountered was accommodating, genuinely friendly and on point. The star of the show, however was the food!! Huge portions, every entree was delicious and the meatball appetizer is a must have! We can't wait to return! Thanks for a wonderful evening!“
