I have mostly come here during the week, between 3-4pm for lunch or a drink with some friends. The staff is friendly and willing to answer any questions about the menu or bar. I have never been here during the weekend, which is usually when a restaurant is at peak hours, and at it's busiest. Its pretty quiet when I've been here, so service has been great. Their burgers are generous and delicious, and drinks reasonably priced. I would recommend stopping by if you are in the area. read more

The menu is amazing! Everything from pizza to sea food. Daily specials on lunches, dinners, and drinks. 50 percent off all military on mondays, and 20 percent throughout the rest of the week. Wings are highly recommended! ! The coal fired pizza as well... The atmosphere is warm and pleasant. Employees are wonderful. There is a fire place and a private party room with a full bar. Pandora music all day long, as well as a jukebox. Live entertainment Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights that starts at 730!! Great place for the family, as well as a nice, relaxing night out. read more

ALBAs Restaurant - Veal parm dinner mmm mmm Veal was so tender - New American Near Me - Lakehurst, New Jersey

See all

Frequented on a weekend and went to sit at the bar. Despite numerous stools open, apparently they reserve the bar stools with post it notes. After waiting a few minutes I got a seat at the bar. Bartenders were excellent and attentive. Chicken cacciatore was also very good. Only issue was I was asked to move twice by the manager while I was eating so they could fit parties at the bar. Was rather annoying and I felt like they were pushing me out as fast as they could. read more

My wife and I stopped in for a burger on the recommendation of a friend. He was right the burgers were very good. One of the best I have had in a long time. Unfortunately, we found it extremely uncomfortable. The music was very very LOUD! Could hardly hear each other and the waiter. The crowd at the bar seem to be competing with the volume of the music as they became more and more intoxicated. Based on the quality and taste of the burger I'm certain that other entrees on the menu would be equally enjoyable. Because of the noise level I don't think we will be coming back. Too bad... read more

The service was great. The flies were terrible we had to take our food to go that's how bad the flies were. Told the waitress and she even said they were attacking her. Ordered Chicken Marsala the chicken was so tough could not cut it. The dogs had it for there dinner. Would not go back. read more

Jersey sports bar. Wings, coal fired pizza, bar food, live music and plenty of t.v.s with sports on.

If you're looking for a nice place to have dinner and have great service, this is the place to go. Sat at the bar tonight and my glass was never empty. Food was prompted and really good. Best local watering hole I've been to outside a base. Military friendly must go to pub. 5 stars!!! read more

This is an interesting sports bar at the intersection of Routes 70 and 547 in Lakehurst across from the Lakehurst Diner. They have an afternoon happy hour and a wide selection of beers. Sadly their food offerings are mediocre at best. Service at the bar is similar. Overall, the place is dark, dingy, dusty and old looking. Definitely not an up and coming place. Ok for a couple of beers but that's about it. read more

Thank you who ever bought and revitalized this bar/restaurant. The best burger I've had in quite sometime. It's busy now. It was a grave yard before. Finally, some place worth going out to in Lakehurst. read more

OK begin rant.....I'm a us navy chief and my wife recently was employed there..I say recently cause as of tonight she is done...the manager is horrible to the employees and the owner treats them as complete shit!!!!!! I never even seen someone ( my wife ) put up with so much shit....I've been through some things in them navy but what she has endured makes her a saint....If u can please avoid this place cause it needs to be closed!!!!!! read more

Surprisingly great food! I can tell when fries are hand-cut, fresh made -- they have 'em here. Great friendly service too. Ice cold beer, clean establishment. read more

Great Food, Friendly Staff & Classic Rock Atmosphere down the Jersey Shore. Step into cool restaurant/pub with a classic rock feel of the Jersey Shore many of us grew up with. Friendly folks, great food from burgers to fancier lunch and dinner specials. Plus Alba's great waitress like ours tonight Kaitlynn, who took great care of her customers meals and then joined them on the dance floor with a few other of Alba's Staff. For a Jersey night out with friends, family or that special someone or solo and enjoy the Nightly live music. Check out Alba's and you will agree. read more

Great place . Danielle the bartender was amazing. Very attentive . Food is really good. Burgers are delicious. And love their shepherds pie. Great menu selection. Second time there . We will def be back ! read more

Placed an order to pick up during my lunch break at work for me and two coworkers. We picked it up and when we started eating back at the office, we had raw chicken wings and potato puffs with raw dough in the middle. When we called to complain about the inedible food, we were told our only option was to come get a new order which was not possible as our lunch break had already come and gone. May as well have just throw our money in the garbage. read more

Awesome specials for military on Monday! the food is solid there is something for everyone on the menu decent beer selection (mostly domestic) my only complaint and it wasn't lack of customer service... but one of the bartenders managed to mess my order up almost every time. if I asked for a cheeseburger I got no cheese . or if I asked for boneless wings I got bone in . the food was good and she was sweet so I didn't mind, but I know some people might get upset . all in all great place to watch a game and grab a beer. read more

Our group of 11 came here for lunch one day and the experience was great. Maybe we caught them on a bad day because it took awhile for our food to come out and our waitress seemed inexperienced. The restaurant was clean and not busy, it looked like most of the people were coming in for a pick up order.. anyways.. I ordered a medium size (1/2) Calzone,,, and when it came to my plate it was so huge that my group was in awe... it took up the entire plate. The calzone was great and as I was eating it I had wished I would of ordered the kids size lol. Its a great little restaurant tucked away in Lakehurst. If you looking for a good meal for your dollar,, give this place a try. read more

Food was absolutely disgusting. If it's not fried then don't order it. Myself and 4 friends came here for a drinks and bite to eat. My boyfriend ordered a scallop pasta aioli bacon. It tasted like straight cooked noodles. No flavoring at all. My boyfriend literally pour the marinara from my calzone on his pasta just to give it flavor because he was really hungry and the kitchen was closed at this point. When asked by the service if our food was ok, we were honest. The manager came over and told my boyfriend, "well if you didn't pour the marinara ontop of it, i could of tasted it." What?!?! You were going to eat my boyfriend's dinner?? How is that even ok? Poor management on her part. However, the band that was playing was pretty awesome and the only reason why i would give it 2 stars. I live in this area so i have eaten there before. Nothing fancy just finger food and beer but, we will never go back. So unfortunate. read more

Honestly, it was pretty bad. I can't speak for all their food but, their pizza and cheesesteaks are just not good. The pizza is under cooked and the cheesesteak had all the cheese on the bread not mixed in with the meat like any normal place would do. Just not good plain and simple. I would recommend someone with some skills opening up a pizza place in the area. read more

Awesome little place to eat highly recommend the white bar pie. It was so good went there two days in a row. The staff was friendly. If your in the area definitely go for lunch. read more

Was looking forward to eating take out from here but unfortunately the person who answered the phone put me on hold. I waited on the phone for 5 minutes and then I hung up, I tried calling back five times with in 10 minutes but the phone was busy, probably still sitting on the bar. Sorry for the bad review but it's only to help work on your service. read more

Great place for a cold beer and great food! Also had a few family parties in the private room catered by them. Food service, and was great! Very good prices on party room and catering as well!! read more

First time since it changed from the Irish Theme. Inside is still the same. We had burgers which were surprisingly real good and a bar pie. They were short staffed, which the waiter let us know early on, which is appreciated. He did just fine with the service. The thing that may not have me going back is the smell. Not sure if they are trying to hide something, but each table had air freshener in the fake flower centerpiece. It looked like the little beads you put in the laundry. Also, whatever they use to clean the tables is extremely fragrant. Not normal surface cleaner smell. Just really odd and way overbearing. What are you trying to hide? Patrons want to smell the food they are eating and drinking, not air freshener. If you have a mold / musty smell problem, just fix it! read more

This is a nice family oriented restaurant. At the time of our visit (Wednesday @ 6:30) , the crowd was their 60s, and the live singer sang Frank Sinatra and Engleburt Humperdink. For our first visit we had a bar (pizza) pie, and a half onion rings - half French fries with a few beers. The bar pie was perfect for a coal fired pie; a touch on the crispy side. The fries and onion rings were good. The owner welcomed and seated us with a welcoming smile and friendly attitude. Our server, Daniel, was attentive, also friendly, and got our order right. The rest of the staff(including the bartender,) also in their 20s, all appeared just as friendly. The crowd, being a bit older retirees tonight, means this may not be the place for you to get hammered and hook up,if that's what you're looking for. But if you're looking for good food and friendly service, you'll find it at Alba's. read more

Walked into the place and waited for someone to seat us - finally a woman came up to us and asked "do you have a reservation?", we said no, "well I am not sure how the long the wait is and you will have to wait here", we stood there for about 15 minutes, she never came back to us and everyone else that worked there just ignored us. There should be a sign on their door as soon as you walk in - reservations are required or something. So much for eating locally, place had plenty of open bar stools and also tables - and to be treated like common filth is just unacceptable! I think the 5 star reviews about service and hospitality are from their own workers! read more

Idk what these people ate but I saw the place as nice. Empty at dinner time which is a clue to not eat there. Can't speak for the bar but food was mediocre. How do you ruin a BLT. Plus, my finance's reuben had a used butter package on her plate upon arrival. Nope. Nope. go to 3 B's or even applebees. read more

What a disappointment!! The best part of the meal was the Onion rings appetizer! I'm a burger and fries guy and both sucked!! Burger tasted like gas (from the grill) and the fries where soggy and when they can't even get soda to taste good there's a problem( seltzery..very weak even after I told them and they brought me another)!! Don't bother getting any sauces either..cheap and nasty so I couldn't even doctor up the entree..needless to say I will not be back and do not recommend! read more

Great service in a welcoming, comfortable pub atmosphere. Pizza was very good and fresh side salad with tasty dressing were nice additions. Super friendly server. Good beer selection. Will be back! read more

Went there for an event tonight..waited 20 minutes for our drinks. Not to mention we showed up 45 minutes before event to eat. Five people came over to see if we were being helped because our server kayla was no were to be found. Wanted to go to our event so we told her we would come back to eat after.she said no problem..in the middle of the event she walks in with our food..great move since we were planting with dirt at a planting event. When we were done we explained it made us sick to think you cooked our burgers three hours ago and wanted to serve us the same burgers..you lied kayla to your boss..manager about our conversation.you said no problem about eating after the event. Maybe you were to stupid to remember our conversation since you could not even get us drinks on a timely manner. This place made me pay for the burgers..did i mention three hour old burgers. This place sux and i will NEVER return. By the way i am not done with my review of this place $30 dollars for three hour burgers..how does any decent establishment do something like this. What a shame im a good person because i waited 25 minutes and had to walk to find kayla to get my bill. Should have just walked out and you (kayla) could have ate my three hour burgers. By the way..girls sitting across from me said the food sucked. I am not done with this issue.you pissed off the wrong person! read more

I've been in the area quite a bit lately so we decided to try this place for some burgers. We weren't disappointed. I had the Pub Burger which is topped with cheddar, caramelized onions, and BBQ sauce. Roll was soft & fresh, meat was cooked to temp, only problem was that the onions weren't actually caramelized. They were just about sauteed which made me sad. Dad's burger with the horseradish sauce was a hit. Didn't get a chance to see any pizzas go by our table but perhaps we'll stop back another time to give one a try. Nice comfortable atmosphere. Beware, karaoke after 8 on Thursdays which was...interesting. read more

My family and I had visited this restaurant Wednesday night . We had sat a table Our waitresses name was Laura she was wonderful , the food was amazing the owner even greeted us at the door it was a very pleasurable experience. The only compliant i have is that after my wife and children left i sat at the bar for a drink with a friend and the bartender an older pregnant women with black short hair was very rude and overwhelmed she didn't even offer me a menu or just rudely said what do you want. And that they had no diaper changing station in the bathroom Overall besides the bartender everyone else was polite and welcoming. I would highly recommend coming here. read more

this is a great place to eat & have FUN, the staff are very friendly . One feel's like your at Cheers, they remember your name & what you eat & drink . If your in the area please stop in , you will come back , I do . read more
