Food was not good. No flavor. Staff didn't know much about anything. Bartender was slow.

As soon as I walked in, I knew it was time to leave. Ide brought some friends to the beach they'd come down from vt to hartford for a concert. Creed was great, and the lawnseats also great. Then decided in the morning the beach would be better then tubing. Had a great day at the beach made a huge sand turtle. Turnt up and burnt up a little awesome day.
We had to find some food for dinner thought the shoreliner was open they were closing down for the day sadly. We told her we love lobster roll then asked her if she had any good recommendations. She looked at my lady and said ginos, but I saw something seemed off about it, so I asked her myself if that the next best place and she assured me it I was good.
The pack of us started walking back towards Ginos we passed a ice cream place a cool looking pizza bus right on over to Ginos. Very cool statue out front easly the most impressive part of this establishment . Opened the door for the group and the empty tables and smell quickly said it all to me and before I could stop them they had walked in. While looking at the menu I saw no lobster rolls. Not that I would have ordered them there anyway. My friends now hungry oder some food. I opt for just ice cream to share with the lady . We are the only ones in there beside a lone chick at the bar . We get the food and head out to the patio where almost every umbrella is out of order. My buddie Justin wanted a drink and since there's no servers has to now be his own server. Goes to the bar. Over fifteen minutes later I want a drink but Justin still isn't back yet. So I go to the bar and is drink was just finished being made. I order a marg for myself. 5 dollar marg ten minutes to make it because the flamboyant bartender is just chatting it up with the chick at the other side of the bar. I hand him a twenty and he takes over ten minutes to make change Justin's drink has now been drank. Tender hands me back three fives. Anyone who's ever bought a drink and gotten change know to give five singles for tipping. And to be honest I would have tipped five on the drink out of courtesy. I asked him how long he has been bartending he told me two years. Im gonna say he knew better. My friends pizzas were edible and and the salad was alright mushy fries nothing to right hom about.
Ginos seems very out of touch and far off. Not the experience I wanted for any of us especially my friends who drove four hours to have a nice time in a beach town. Gino if you read this next time refund the customer for the full burger especially if your employee had offered that. Reading about these reviews shows me things arnt working at this establishment. Great location just needs an owner who cares and management that can manage all aspects of this place. It deserves to be a tabled restraunt with servers and good food and happy customers . The way it is now, I don't see it lasting .

We’ve come many many times and always enjoyed our breakfast but they changed management and you now order at the counter and get your food delivered to the table. That’s fine. But, it was very expensive, the quality of food declined greatly with plastic utensils, cardboard/takeout containers, etc. Just really disappointing. I hope they return to their waitstaff with full service and better food. :(

Went for dinner with my beautiful wife. There were no servers. We went to the counter to check out the menu. The young kids behind the counter were pleasant enough. We ordered a personal pizza, a cheeseburger, a bottle of water and an iced coffee. $37. The counter person asked if it was for here or to go. I said for here. We picked a seat and waited. Ten minutes and our food arrives, packed to go. The burger was not good at all, appeared streamed or microwaved. The pizza was just ok, edible at least. I went back to give the burger back and was offered a refund by the counter person. Gino, however, intervened and wanted more info on why the burger wasn't good. Ultimately not accepting my answer, and offering me half the discount initially offered. Overall a poor experience, and we will not return. Gino followed up with a comment. To be clear, my beautiful wife took one small bite, and spit it out. No worries Gino, hope your business does well.

This place completely fell off and it’s sad because it used to be amazing food and wonderful service it used to be an awesome spot to have a nice sit down dinner especially the outside dinning area. I miss what this place used to be.

Great quick spot for breakfast or lunch. Owner was on site and seems to really care about his business, I appreciate the updates they have made to the restaurant and the great deck pattio area to sit out and enjoy a bite to eat. Also...the parking is usually one of the best priced in the area, charging $10 with private beach access while others charge $20
Great customer service, they have breakfast options, and tons of iced coffee! Definitely stop here before heading to the beach.
