13 Best Cocktail Bars near Toms River

“I would give them 3 out of 5 stars. since the day they opened, inconsistent with food and drinks. one day the sliders are medium, the next well done. one day your $16 martini is full, the next it's missing the top inch of the drink. one day the pizza is ok, the next time is soup. last time the service was just ok. tonight she was great.“

“the staff is amazing, the food is delicious, the prices are cheaper then most of the restaurants in the area, happy hour is 2pm to 6pm, Sunday thru Thursday specials, atmosphere is comfortable and is just a great place to hang with family and friends, eat good and relax. There is also a 20% off coupon in the savy savings booklet in mail and also a free game of darts!“

“Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent food for our recent party. The guests were all commenting how delicious and well prepared the food was. It was also more food than we expected, and was very well packed for transport. We’ve enjoyed the experience of dining at Sofia’s, and now also the catered g experience.“

“James was our server and he was amazing, outgoing very attentive. We had a great time and we will be coming back and hope he is our server again!!!!“

“EJs is awesome. Bartenders are great, atmosphere is awesome. Always welcoming.... we had our friend visit recently who is disabled and has a service dog. Everyone at EJs was welcoming to both him and his dog. We are smokers so we love thst there is an outdoor space to hang out as well.“

“Everything about tomahawk steakhouse was amazing.. I was there two nights in a row and couldn't ask for better food, service and ambience. It was the best way to celebrate my daughter's birthday and coming from my family who owns the best Italian restaurants this was outstanding. 10 out of 10.“

“We had a great experience overall! The tomato pie came out hot and fresh, the buffalo wings were definitely on the spicy side but still really delicious (just wish I had some ranch on the side!). The nacho supreme was so good — I’d absolutely order it again, just without the jalapeños next time.

Service was solid with refills coming regularly, but we did have to wait a bit for our food. Toward the end, it felt like we were being rushed out, which wasn’t ideal since we were enjoying great conversation with a couple next to us.

Prices were affordable, the location is convenient, and parking was good. Overall, it’s a fun spot in South Jersey for good laughs, drinks, and company. We’d definitely go back!

“I recently visited the Pancake Factory and had the pleasure of being served by J. From the moment I walked in, J's warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel right at home. They were incredibly attentive, ensuring my experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. J's knowledge of the menu was impressive—they provided excellent recommendations, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. The pancakes were fantastic, but it was J's exceptional service that truly made my visit memorable. Their professionalism, friendliness, and ability to anticipate needs were outstanding. If you're looking for top-notch service and a great dining experience, ask for J—you won't be disappointed!🥰“

“I have been eating here for a while now. i think it is the best place in the area. food is always fresh and hot whenever I get delivery, and the atmosphere when dining in is wonderful!“

“Cute little place. Waitress was lovely. Food was decent. Nothing to really go crazy and rave about. Very very pricey. More expensive than center city steakhouses! Hated the weird dim led lighting. Guitar guy was fun. Wine was good. We would return but wouldn’t rush back. SP has limited options so, God Bless. Don’t blame you for charging top $. Atmosphere was much nicer than Chef Mike ABG. Updated and clean! A plus for that. Thank you for a fun night 🥰 Bring on summer“

“Delicious pizza, crisp salad, great service, and friendly staff--all we expect. The restaurant was bustling on a Saturday night, but the vibe was lively and friendly. Warnings: 1) The two of us ordered a "small" pizza; it was huge and could easily have fed six people. 2) It was very noisy so conversation was difficult.“

“We heard about Castaways from some friends and had to give it a try. The drinks were a little expensive but maybe because we had several and it added up. The food was better than good and my wife commented that the fish was cooked perfectly. Our waitress was prompt and courteous. It was a good time and that’s what we look for during the winter.“

“staff or employees are nice friendly and knowledgeable. From the servers and food runners to the bartenders. Food is good and you get good portions. Pizza, wraps, burgers, wings, sandwiches pasta highly recommended.“
