Tip: get an extra egg on the breakfast sandwiches otherwise it's too much bread.“

Honestly this food was so amazing and in generous portions! The potato salad was delicious! The staff was so friendly and accommodating even they were so busy! I can’t wait to go back😊“

“I celebrated my birthday with my sisters at The Gables last night. It is clear that this restaurant knows that a dining experience is more than just about the great food. The ambiance and charm of the restaurant with its meticulous attention to detail translates to understated elegance. Their staff—my experience felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant and they had nothing else to do but take care of us! Our server, Cathy, was so warm and unshakable on a rather busy evening. The room managers strolled throughout the room making sure that every person was seen and noticed. It’s the nicest place I’ve ever dined. Thank you for a truly lovely evening!“

“great food great portions great prices and very friendly staff and atmosphere.“

“Went for dinner. Food was very good. Pretty quick service. Out of season. Was a bit cold inside even though it was in the 60s outside and the front door was opened. The acoustics are bad. Kids screeching resonate through your ears and down your spine.
My dish was meant to have asparagus risotto, but it was white rice. 😣 Service was excellent.“

“I recommend EVERYTHING about the LBI Pancake House! The food - perfect. The atmosphere - stylish, retro chic. The people - awesome. And don’t even get me started on the Belgian Waffles…. I’m still dreaming about those slightly crispy outside, puffy fluffy insides served with warm butter and their signature maple syrup. Breakfast Heaven served oceanside on Earth.“

“Most tasty & authentic Mexican in this area.“

“Food and service very good“

“Best donuts I’ve had in a long long time. The jelly and cream filled are to die for. On way to AC orcpionts south of LBI worth the “detour”.“

“Oh, just wonderful. Every time. Delicious Italian food. I got the penne alle vodka stuffed rigatoni this time and it was 10/10. I'm very picky, too, with my pasta! A nice low-stakes night out...quiet but lively little restaurant. Good takeout too if you need it.“

“Always great food and cold beers!“

“I love all your soups and chowders. Every year we buy a couple of quarts to bring home. This year, we added to our purchase a quart of the crab corn chowder. It was outstanding! I hope this becomes a permanent chowder going forward! Looking forward to next year!“

“We went to the chegg many years ago, a few times, and we weren't really impressed. However, just recently we went to the chegg out in marlton and we had such a great meal that we decided to give the one on the island another shot. So glad we did. We had the best swings that we probably ever had in our life and everything else was really enjoyable. Would definitely take the time to head out there again“

“The chowder was absolutely incredible. 5 stars. Our lunch was great. Not a person in our party walked away unhappy with their choices.“

“I Enjoy The Merchant Market So Much“

“Great food - both the pizza and dinners. Salads are great too - a lot in them including hard boil eggs, roasted peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, green & black olives, onions, and of course lettuce - delicious! We highly recommend it!“

“I had a great experience at Bubakoo’s Burritos. I ordered the loaded curly fries and the Chiwawa, and both were honestly really good full of flavor and cooked perfectly.

What stood out just as much as the food was the service. The staff was friendly and greeted me right when I walked in, which set a great tone. On top of that, my order was ready super quick, which I really appreciated.

Overall, great food, fast service, and a welcoming vibe, I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Food is superb! Service is excellent! Very clean & nice atmosphere. I’ve never had a bad meal there!“

“Awesome food. Real deal North Jersey pizza. Great subs as well. I highly recommend!“

“Awesome bagels 🥯 Egg wraps are pretty good also“

“Still the best clam chowder and you cannot tell me otherwise. The bread bowl is toasted perfectly. Good bands and entertainment. Staff is always nice, decent selection of beers and alcohol. Good food overall. Our staples are the chowder, potato skins, and wings but have had their sandwhiches which have been good as well.“

“The most delicious pizza on Long Beach Island!!! In addition to great food, it's an incredible family run business with the most genuine, caring and hard working staff ever. You just don't come across businesses like this anymore - Slice of Heaven is truly extra special.“

“We used the Sea Shell for our wedding venue and can’t say enough nice things about it. For starters our planners were amazing, Brittany and Jaimee were always available to answer any questions we had. They set everything up just the way we wanted. The food during cocktail hour was to die for and all of our guests raved about it. The weather wasn’t in our favor in the morning and at first we were going to do the ceremony under the tiki hut but were able to change to the sand an hour before. Dinner was also amazing and everything was delicious. The Shell made a dream come true and we can’t thank them enough.“

“Had the best experience tonight at dinner!! The food was great and being on the water never better. Our server Izzy made our night so positive and fun!! She was sweet and attentive and having a great server really makes the night special!!“

“We ordered dinner last night, and it was great as usual!! Our food arrived quickly, and it was hot and delicious! We love Ray’s wings (hot and honey are our favorite) and pizza! My family has been ordering from Ray’s for over 5 years, and I don’t think we have ever had a bad meal… everything is consistently good! Ordering is easy and delivery is fast!!“

“Doyle’s Pour House Barnegat is an awesome spot to relax and enjoy good food and drinks. The atmosphere is welcoming and lively, making it perfect for hanging out with friends or unwinding after a long day. The food is consistently delicious, and the drink selection is impressive with plenty of options on tap. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. Overall, Doyle’s Pour House Barnegat offers a great experience every time—highly recommended!“

“Nice food presentation. They had live music, which was a nice after dinner ending.“

“Food is pretty consistent and decent. I've had better but also have had alot worse. For the price, it's worth it. Only downside to this place is you have to pick it up but I live close as heck so it's not a problem I have.

Vegetarian options: Decent amount of veggie options but obviously still not the best for someone on a diet, lol.

Parking: In front and decent amount, never really a full lot.“

“Wanted to shout out the Joeys delivery guy who went above and beyond last night. We had a scheduled delivery time for 7 pizzas for a kids beach bday party but an accident on Long Beach Blvd was holding up traffic for a long time with no end in sight. He walked those pizzas 6-8 blocks to us instead, no questions or complaints. Super professional. Lots of respect and a major thank you!“

“My wife said she though the California wrap was delicious. She has never said that before about take out food. My chicken tacos and the kids food, pizza and a hamburger was great. I thought it was a bit expensive, but not worried about that if they keep the quality as it was. Everyone ate everything. Fresh and not greasy. Good job.“

“loyal customer for years but the order takers need to pay more attention to the orders over the phone.“

“The food is great but you must save room for desert. The lemon coconut cake is scrumptious! The waitress mentioned a chocolate cake to try but I couldn't be swayed from the lemony goodness.“
