I ordered the full stack of French toast with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries, and a side of sausage links. My wife had the west Coast scrambler which consisted of eggs, avocado, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, and scallions. Our friends ordered the chorizo burger with fries, and pastrami on rye with a side of coleslaw. As a coffee snob, I would say the coffee was very good. Everything came out cooked fresh and hot. Plenty of fresh fruit on top of my French toast. I heard the chorizo burger was different and delicious. Most of the plates went back clean. Portions were very generous. The service was excellent and friendly. The prices are reasonable. There is plenty of parking in their private parking lot. Worth the trip if you are in the area.

Classic Jersey diner with good food and this morning's waitress came from the school of toss the…read morefood at them, be short with them, and slam the bill on the table waitressing. And, no I am not awarding four stars for the service approach towards diners ... she did refill my coffee mug once and then surprisingly just took the creamers away without asking (I drink my coffee black but she didn't know that.). Clearly she has favorites because the guy in the booth next to me got the lovey-dovey "hon" treatment. The Sand Castle has a feeling of having been worn down by the waves through the years type of place because many of the booth chairs and counter chairs exhibit wear and even more than a few tears. On a cold November Saturday morning I could feel the chill as I sat in my booth sipping my coffee (And, I wasn't anywhere close to the front door.). So onto the four stars ... but don't say I didn't warn you about service and ambiance. Well, it feels like a shore diner and I like that feel but yea worn out a bit. Quite awhile ago stopped by for dinner and the food was really good with lots of tempting options. I always judge diners by their soup and the soup was top notch! Our meals were enjoyable at a reasonable price. And, then I just forgot to review the diner. But decided to return for breakfast today after a long Friday night. Coffee arrived promptly and was really decent coffee but the amazing part of my breakfast was how quickly the really wall prepared omelette was served. It was like in the blink of any eye and for many a promptly delivered breakfast meal is a real plus (I appreciated it!!!!). Although the waitress really didn't want to be bothered with me the rather short diner breakfast menu had the classics and that quickly prepared omelette was a tasty WESTERN. The homefries were really good ... actually they were great even without onions in them (Waitress never asked if I'd like onions and rushed away so I didn't ask but these potatoes didn't need onions.). Toast was toast and the jam/jelly selection was universally grape jelly with one orange marmalade. A very good breakfast and I wasn't here to make friends just to warm up ooops ok, so I didn't warm up but the coffee helped, and to do some work. Still worth the food if you're in the neighborhood!

When we first visited, our group of eight called ahead and was told the wait would be about 20…read moreminutes. We arrived a little early, and I went inside just to confirm our name was on the waitlist. The hostess was rude and repeatedly told me it was a 20-minute wait, even after I explained I was only confirming we were on the list. After 20 minutes, I checked again, but we were told no tables were available. While waiting, we noticed another party was skipped, making the waitlist seem disorganized. Eventually, we were told we could squeeze into a table, which we were happy to do. After being seated, we received our drinks, but when we were ready to order, our server said the kitchen was behind and that she won't be taking our order at that moment. It took another 30 minutes before our order was taken. To make matters worse, one person's Cubano sandwich and fries were forgotten. Def won't be coming back.

Well - we had to go see a music school engagement at the Waterfront today and decided to have a little lunch. First as a appetizer I order the Grandma Connie's Home made meatballs ($15.50) two meatballs, about 1/2 teaspoon of ricotta and some kind of marinara sauce that was more like tomato water than anything that resembled an Italian gravy - Horrible! Then wife said forget that and lets get sandwiches; ok - she got the Short Rib Grilled Cheese ($20.00), and I got the Bourbon Chicken Wrap ($17.50) - they were Both Horrible! Grand kids got the chicken fingers ($18.00) and they were a bit over cooked but tasty. Overall opinion = Food is way overpriced for the quality, flavors are blah to horrible and just no worth another trip. Too many good food places around, this one is huge pricy disappointment........

Google search them to do so. Didn't have to leave the house until the time got a lot closer. It was a touch longer than what they had estimated but we left to there and only had to wait about 10 minutes. You'll need that time to find a bit of the parking. Inside, the space was nice and bright. This was a breakfast place before this that was already pretty good but a little darker. This had a more beach feel that was appropriate. I wonder if they were going to put tables outside as it looked like space was cornered off. Food was pretty good but would suggest some tweaks. First, the potatoes / home fries. They were a little mushy - understand you make them in bulk and thank ful you didn't just deep fry a bunch of potatoes and slap them on a plate. These were pretty good but perhaps this was a result of it being late morning. The biscuits really were... bread-y?? They weren't real flaky. It was almost that they were a cross between a biscuit and a scone. They were good. Just, not what I was expecting. The rest of the food was very good and everyone pretty much cleaned their plates...
