I've yet to have "choose wrong" on the menu and the staff is incredible- from the seasonal waitstaff to the owners & permanent staff. If you want to eat like a king, feel like family AND a local?

Decided to shoot down to Patti's Kitchen for an 8am breakfast. The place seemed like it was a…read moreregular hangout for people living around here, but I bet it's still swamped during the season. Our server was super friendly and brought us coffee and waters quickly. We both kept it simple here with my wife ordering scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries and sourdough toast and I had a ham and Swiss omelette, home fries and sourdough toast. Simple meals that came out quickly and done perfectly. I love that they the portions here are actually correct portion sizes and not an overwhelming amount of food. And I don't know what they do to their hash browns, but WOW. Tasted almost like mashed potatoes, but with the consistency of hash browns. Very good coffee and food, excellent and friendly service, small parking lot and on-street parking - this is an easy one to recommend, I would definitely come back.

It's cute, with ample seating (surprising for such a small place), indoor and out. The menu is small, but everything is great. Decent pricing, the food isn't absurd and grandiose, and that's what I love. I love feeling full but not overstretched and slow. The service is quick, and everyone was kind. If you want a burger or a quick salad, they are surprisingly good.

The highlight for me was the fried pickles!! They were perfectly crispy and crunchy with a delicious dipping sauce! My boyfriend and I split the OG and the BIB burgers.

But after the third time, I felt others should know about my experience. I have no complaints about the food or staff, except for the receptionist. Since I eat alone, I'm always offered a seat at the counter, but I'm not comfortable eating next to strangers while facing all the commotion behind the counter. So I always ask for a table, and I don't mind waiting when it's busy. This time, when I told the receptionist I preferred a table, she made a face, probably without realizing it, and told me only a counter seat was available. I took the basket of silverware she handed me and walked over, only to find there were no seats at the counter at all. After waiting a few minutes and feeling increasingly frustrated, I went back to the podium, set the basket down, and left. Honestly, I felt so unwelcome that I'm not sure I'll go back.

As luck would have it, I scored a reservation at Buoys on a busy Saturday night in Manasquan…read more Thanks to an Instagram post, I became intrigued and started stalking the reservations. Persistence paid off. Right off the bat, I loved the atmosphere. We sat outside at picnic tables, and the whole place had a seashore surfer chic vibe. Basically, it felt like a cool little beach hut. They don't take themselves too seriously, but the food was absolutely delicious and refreshing. One thing that makes Buoys unique is that there is one seating each evening with a fixed menu. Everyone is there for the same experience, enjoying the exact same meal together. I really loved that. We were given buckets of ice for our wine, and we were off to the races. The meal was a good mixture of shared dishes and individual entrées, which really fit the atmosphere. They don't alter the food for anyone's preferences. We had a food allergy in our group, so I reached out ahead of time. They were accommodating for the most part and very nice about it. I give Buoys five stars because, while it doesn't take itself too seriously, it takes the food pretty seriously. The whole place is just cool. I've never had a tasting menu that included chicken wings. Tuna "Chorizo," barro, pineapple, herb salad Imagine a tuna tartare with a chorizo vibe. It was stunning and delicious. Everyone at the table loved it. I know pineapple isn't everyone's favorite, but it was the perfect way to balance the smoky chorizo flavors. It was innovative and really memorable. Chicken Wings Jimmy Nardello peppers, savory ranch, 'nduja Getting a plate of chicken wings on a tasting menu was such a surprise. They were covered in this incredible pepper sauce, and oh my God, they were so good. They were perfect for the whole beach, post-surfing, laid-back vibe. That's all I can say. If you're lucky enough to get an extra chicken wing, you're scoring. Orecchiette Fra Diavolo, squid, scungilli, garlic crumb Served family style, this was probably my least favorite dish of the night, but it was still good. The garlic crumb on top made the dish. I found myself trying to get bites with the crumb because it added so much flavor. . Bucette ( Bavette ) Polenta - Miso onions I googled it- Bavette (pronounced bah-VET) is a flavorful cut of beef from the lower sirloin/flank area. It's sometimes called flap steak) Polenta, miso onions, chimichurri By the time the beef came along, I was pretty full. The bavette, similar to hanger steak, was cooked perfectly, charred on the outside and red on the inside. I loved it. I ended up taking it home and enjoyed it the next day. The chimichurri sauce was delicious. Salmon Lentil gremolata, parsnip purée Sadly, no one at our table ordered the salmon, so I can't report on it. Cronut Banana pudding, peanut butter, chocolate mousse Who doesn't love a cronut? Well, this one put all the others to shame. Banana pudding, peanut butter, chocolate mousse. Yum, yum, yum. Again, I've never had a tasting menu that fit its atmosphere so well. Everyone was having a terrific time. Because there is only one seating and one menu, everyone in the restaurant was enjoying the exact same meal together. It created a really fun energy in the room. I peeked into the kitchen, and it couldn't have been much bigger than a food truck. They were working like a well-oiled machine, sending out the same beautifully prepared courses to the entire restaurant. It was pretty impressive to watch. I can't wait to go back. I think I'd better start stalking reservations now for late August or September.

I asked if they were out of rolls, to which she replied "No, but we want to save them for cheesesteaks later." I told her I would prefer it on the roll if possible, otherwise I would order a different item. She obliged and I made sure to leave a nice tip. I picked up my order and walked to the beach, excited and hungry for a delicious Buoys sandwich. As I unwrapped the sandwich I ordered, a Turkey Bacon Ranch Club Sub on a WRAP revealed itself. Too late to return it and explain the mixup, I was filled with utter disappointment and contempt. Today, I was deliberately fooled by the Buoys staff and I am extremely displeased by an establishment that typically delivers. I will be taking my hard earned dollars elsewhere going forward. Buoys Manasquan, run by deceitful fools. Beware.
