I've stopped here for breakfast a few times. The place is somewhat seedy, but makes a great breakfast. One of the problems with breakfast, for me, is a lot of places drench everything with butter and salt... which most people seem to like. Not me, I like healthy, natural flavors. I have a couple times ordered their Jersey Girl omelette (tomatoes, asparagus, mozzarella, green onions), and it is made to perfection. Tasty, healthy, and not greasy. Just wonderful. The only thing that prevents me from rating 5 stars is that I was a little surprised that the eggs, which came with toast and potatoes (I had a banana instead), did not come with coffee, for which they charged $3.50 (hey, even Starbucks with their outrageous pricing charges only $2.45 for a cup of plain old coffee). But I would definitely recommend Beach Grille for an eggsellent breakfast! read more

This is a great "hidden gem" breakfast spot right on Atlantic Ave. I remember when it was called the Bacon Beach Grille! Friendly people and great service. Parking lot on side is convenient. CASH ONLY! Looking forward to trying dinner there. read more

Fantastic local establishment that serves breakfast and lunch. Cute location right off Ocean, parking is plentiful. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Food was terrific as was their Frangelica flavored coffee. Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich was healthy as was their Pork Roll Egg and cheese. Side of Home Fries was homemade, added ketchup and hot sauce and it was perfect. The Banana Bread French toast with Bananas and Whipped was the star of the show....fantastic was As if I had Bananas Foster for Breakfast. Service was solid. I know we have found our new favorite Breakfast spot. Dinners are offered to go and In season they offer Friday night dinners with music and byob. Fran is the owner and is so personable and charitable. I cannot wait to go back. Cash only read more

This is a very casual breakfast and lunch grille in the uptown section of Long Branch. A nice variety of food as you can see from the updated menus I have provided as of August 2020. There are about 15-20 stations In front and on the side of the building, so this venue can accommodate 30+ people in an outdoor setting. Bottomless coffee accompanied my huevos rancheros: three eggs, potatoes, chorizo, salsa and guacamole. Very good. $16. read more

Less than half a mile from Monmouth Beach, this was the perfect spot to grab some takeout and sit on the beach. We loved the huge portion of fries, and the burgers! Friendly staff and looked like they had tons of baked goods at the counter for those craving something sweet. read more

We just celebrated Mothers Day at Beach Grille yesterday and had the most amazing brunch. I had the French toast with bananas, strawberries and brown sugar and it was to die for. My mom had the lemon pancakes and they too were out of this word. We had 9 people in our party and everyone felt the same. The service on this busy day was excellent and so accommodating. She had her place decorated for the holiday and personally brought out chocolate covered strawberries as a gift for us coming in. You could clearly see all of the thought and hard work she puts into her adorable cafe. I can't wait to celebrate future holidays here. Bravo to the owner and her staff! read more

Literally and figuratively it's somewhere between a 2 and a 4. Most of the bad blood is because they screwed up my order. I ordered the Triple Bacon Brie Burger without a bun. It was served on a bun and the brie was all melted into the roll. So basically for $14.50 I had a burger that was more cooked than the medium rare I asked for with bacon and onions but no brie as I am unable to eat the roll. Normally this would be an unforgiveable sin but our friends who live in the area come here often and say they have always had excellent experiences. Generally speaking the people working here were very nice and except for my order mess up, were very accommodating. read more

TERRIBLE attitude from hosts/managers. Rude to customers. I understand that it is an overwhelming time and that Sunday's are busy, but talking and gesturing at your customers is not a wonderful business habit. Maybe large reservations shouldn't be taken if they cannot be handled. Also, most importantly, food is DISGUSTING. read more

The breakfast sandwiches don't have meat. I literally got a sandwich turkey bacon egg cheese. With one piece of bacon on it. And it was the same with my friends BEC. I wouldn't waste my money here again. Go over to broadway and get a real breakfast sandwich. read more

We were at Seven Presidents Beach and wanted a place nearby to get burgers. Fabulous burgers at a reasonable price. We got the triple bacon Brie burger and steakhouse burger. Both came with chips and choice of cole slaw or potato salad and total cost was about $22. Big meaty burgers made with high quality ingredients. A couple of weeks later we were going to Sandy Hook Beach and went out of our way to pick up lunch at Bacon Beach Grill. We ordered the same thing and enjoyed it just as much the second time around. Looking forward to the third! read more

We were looking for a dog friendly restaurant with good food and boy did we find it My husband had southern biscuits and sausage gravy 2 eggs with a flight of bacon I decided to have lunch - bacon burger with fries and our dog was treated like a prince. He was given his own bowl of water a few biscuits and of course some tidbits from our food. The waitress and owner couldn't have been more accommodating or gracious they make you feel like family We don't live close by but we will definitely be making trips back with and without our dog read more

Awesome little place we happened upon on a cold, wet & damp day. I've passed the place several times & decided to try it. My daughter & I were both in the mood for soup & their choices were chicken noodle & ginger carrot soup. I was going to try the ginger carrot but after I ordered I found it to be gone. SO I settle for chili. My daughter was going for chicken noodle which they were also out of so she got a breakfast parfait. Chili was good, just the right amount of spice, lots of meat & beans. Not runny. My daughter enjoyed her parfait although this day soup would have definitely been a winner. The restaurant was VERY clean, bathroom included. It had 2 rooms, one with a counter & the other with tables. It's a a block from the ocean & a shore theme. Very cute. I was really glad we made this choice & we both enjoyed our food. Hopefully we can get our soup next time. NOTE: this is a cash only restaurant but there is an ATM inside that charges $1.50 to us it. read more

We've lived a mile away for over 2 years and have never known about or visited this restaurant. What a great little café for breakfast/ brunch and lunch. We had breakfast here with friends last week and it was excellent (we are going back for lunch today). 3 of our group had omelets made to order perfectly, including goat cheese in the omelets (not often available at most breakfast places). I had the oatmeal with berries and honey and it was excellent. The service was very good and our waitress kept coming over to refill our coffee and make sure everything was to our liking. The owner, Fran came over and spoke with us explaining her passion and priorities for running a good restaurant. She also told us about their Friday night dinners (only night they open for dinner). We will definitely be back and try more foods. read more

Loved this place and stubbled on it spontaneously. I actually passed it and then turned around. Glad I did. I had a great lunch here (Cheeseburger and fries) and a coffee. Fran, the owner, could not have been nicer. We talked for quite awhile and she gave me some of her banana bread to try. It was DELICIOUS! I will definitely be back to try more things on the menu. read more

No reason for this place to not have five stars. I am from the east coast but had moved to the midwest a few years ago. Needless to say I was CRAVING a good pork roll. I ordered three and they were excellent. Perfect ratio of bread to meat to egg to cheese. Heads up though- cash only establishment. read more

Great little breakfast/brunch spot. Casual and cute! Great food, great variety, friendly & efficient staff. Owner Fran is so talented with her baked goods and a sweetheart! We really enjoy our breakfasts here! read more

Great Breakfast and Excellent Bacon I would have given 5 stars except it would have been nice to know upfront that they only took cash. Didn't find out until I got my bill. Maybe I missed it but refused to pay exorbitant ATM fees on premises luckily I had cash in my SUV. Otherwise I will be back as breakfast and lunch menu look very good. read more

A delightful find! Delicious food and a friendly staff, and the bacon flights were amazing! The environment is a down home beach side vibe, perfect for a quiet brunch. We will be back! read more

The service here was pretty awful. We waited about 15 minutes before being greeted by anyone until we finally stopped someone passing by asking if we could order. The girls I were with ordered ice coffees, and after receiving our food they asked where they coffees were and the waitress responded saying she had to find them. Needless to say, we never got the coffees. Although the service was subpar, the food was fine. I was thrilled to see grits on the menu as that is hard to find in New Jersey, and the omelette I ordered was cooked perfectly. The bacon sampler is definitely something worth trying as it has some interesting flavors. read more

Menu is really diverse. Great breakfast and lunch spot. The staff and the owners are great people and they're serving up great food. I've had bacon and eggs, burgers and sandwiches. Never disappointed. read more

This is the best local spot for an outside breakfast. One of my favorite "nice day" traditions is to grab a bite here. Best staff that makes you feel at home! Black Russian and Trenton Bombers are go tos! read more

Had the best breakfast here today. I had the shrimp and grits and hubby had the banana nut french toast. So glad we stumbled upon this place. read more

Such a nice cozy spot for breakfast. We had the Greek omelet and eggs Benedict, both delicious. So friendly, especially Fran. Let us sample the banana bread, sooo good. Going to try the banana bread French toast next time. read more

Went here for breakfast with the family this morning. The restaurant is under new management and they did not disappoint with the food or the decor. The restaurant specializes in breakfast and lunch foods, most importantly BACON! There are some dishes that consist only of bacon, such as an artisan bacon flight. The decor warm and there are many cute pig statues. It is very comfortable and the ambiance is quiet but not too quiet, a perfect place to talk over breakfast. I had the pork belly special, was tasty but a bit salty. However that is to be expected from pork belly. It came with eggs that were cooked well and grits which were tasty and filling. Prices are very reasonable and the staff was very pleasant. A great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Sweet place with tons of outdoor seating. I've been there for breakfast before but today we went for lunch. We had a Cobb salad and a black Russian sandwich. Generous portion of both and freshly made. Great neighborhood breakfast or lunch place. read more

This is actually a 3.5 star review. We had a very nice breakfast here. The staff was wonderful. They were friendly, attentive and professional. The food was decent and prepared well. My wife and I will definitely return. read more

The service was terrible, very disorganized and very long waits. They sat us at a table and moved us three times to accommodate for a larger party. It took forever for the waitress to bring us drinks. The eggs Benedict were cooked perfect. The grits had no flavor. The iced coffee was good. We ordered home fries well done and they came out undercooked. I would give this place another shot because it was a busy Sunday but they need to step it up read more

Was recommended to try this restaurant from a friend and so grateful for the recommendation.The quality of the food was only exceeded by the attentive service.The outdoor experience made dining once again enjoyable during these less than normal days.If anyone is looking for a neighborhood bistro for breakfast or lunch your search is over! I have not tried the Friday Night Dinner but certainly will.Thank you for making COVID tolerable if only for a brief time. read more

Fran, owner or Bacon Beach Grille, held a free breakfast yesterday. I originally thought the intent was to do a PR event promoting her fabulous restaurant. There was a film crew from Fox News. Given breakfasts were free, a large tip was a no brainer. However, I was speaking with one of the servers and assumed they received some great tips. Mind you Fran covered the bill; there was no cover for her outlay. I was a bit taken aback when the sever mentioned that most tables did not leave any tip whatsoever. Wow. Perhaps people didn't think of it given all the enthusiasm w the film crew present. I would hope that anytime a restaurant does something similar to promote their business, especially during these times, the guests would be more aware and truly support the people who are serving them. This must have a been a massive cost to Fran unless severs worked for free. If so tips are even more meaningful. I would highly encourage anyone, everyone reading this will have a meal at the grille. I'm sure many who attended yesterday's event are already patrons. Fran' dedication to her clientele is stellar. She takes the time to say hello, spend a few minutes when she can ensuing you are enjoying the food. I look forward to our next breakfast at this one of a kind, informal, classic beach environment experience. read more

Fran's Beach Grille (formerly Bacon Beach Grille) has been our go-to place for great breakfasts and lunches. It's a pleasant and friendly local eatery and catering service with an interesting menu, entertainment on holidays (a bagpiper on St. Patrick's Day along with the traditional corned beef and cabbage and Irish Soda Bread!) and great daily specials. We recently asked Chef Fran Schults to cater a small family luncheon. She created a feast consisting of a fruit and cheese platter, assorted tea sandwiches (animal shaped PB&J for the children), and a tray of cookies and mini-cupcakes for dessert. The food was beautifully presented and quite affordable. I am delighted that I was able to enjoy our party without the work of preparing the food. I may entertain more and cook less from now on. We are very happy to live nearby this local gem and recommend it highly. read more

Waited 45 minutes and then we were told our food hadn't been started. Completely unorganized. I suppose it could have been a bad day. I can't even imagine how they stay in business if it's not. Several other groups left under similar circumstances. Seems like anyone can run a restaurant nowadays. I'd ask the people seated how long they have been waiting if you go there. read more

Oh my goodness! Finally a fantastic breakfast and lunch place near the beach. Fran the owner cooks the meals. I had the best grits this morning. You must try the bacon sampler! We went back for lunch and was blown away by the chicken salad wrap. Try the crumb cake and banana bread. If you are nice Fran might give you a taste of each! read more

Great breakfast or lunch! Great food! Great place! Great people! Sit down in a relaxed friendly atmosphere with all the usual suspects!

Let me start off by saying we did go there at 2 o'clock for a quickie. Not by choice, because they were closing. Food? Ehhh. Prices? Good. I mean what do you except it's in the butt crack of skaterville I mean not gonna lie it was a good view because I love me some skater boys, but let's be real not worth read more

I been to the BBG three times now and it has never disappointed. It is an appealing little place with outdoor seating, albeit right on a somewhat busy street (but still worth doing), I have had a variety of things and all of them have been terrific. My first time I had the bacon sampler, which if you're a pork-o-phile like me you will truly enjoy. Corned beef hash was great. Ditto cheesy grits. Corn muffin exceptionally good. All all egg dishes very well done. Someone in the kitchen has Southern in their blood.. I await the day when biscuits and gravy or country ham and biscuits appears on the menu. YUM!! Highly recommended. Oh, this is not just a carnivore place; there is any number of things to delight a vegan/vegetarian. read more
