“The best quesadillas and tacos we’ve had in a very long time. Fabulous everything!“

“CASH ONLY! Solid but unspectacular bagel shop. The bagels were smallish and less flavorful than bagels we have had in the past. Big holes likely means they didn’t proof long enough or it is old dough. The everything topping was very onion-heavy. Expansive flavor line up but they were out of spinach. Nice clean place and friendly cashiers.“

“My daughter and I went here for lunch today and the food was amazing! We had homemade hummus and pita chips for an appetizer and sandwiches..I had the green burger which was to die for!! 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😊“

“Food and service very good“

“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!“

“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.“

“We got takeout from this Chinese restaurant because our other favorite Chinese place went downhill. My daughter is extremely picky, as is my husband, and both of them were very impressed with the food quality. We particularly liked the crab rangoon wontons. We will definitely be going back in the future.“

“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!“

“As new Barnegat residents, we stumbled upon this gem while exploring our local businesses. The mussels marinar did not disappoint! My fiancé ordered the soft shell crab franchese, and was also very pleased. The bartender, Trish, was friendly, attentive, and made an amazing espresso martini. We will definitely be East Bay Italian Grille regulars.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Unique spin on your favorite sushi rolls - loved the Chilean sea bass specialty roll! Highly recommend Zen for fresh and delicious sushi! Great customer service too.“

“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.“

“Last minute pizza order one night and catered dinner another night. We ordered plain and chicken parm pizza. Delicious!! Sauce was perfect cheese was quality, with a nice thin crust. We catered flounder francaise, green bean almondine, chicken Gabrielle, stuffed shells, and a bruschetta platter. Joey’s knocked it out of the park!! Everything was piping hot and flavorful with plenty of leftovers. Thank you from the Happy New Yorkers who took a chance on Joey’s in Ship Bottom!! Don’t sleep on this place!“

“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!!“

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