I really liked the wings. My wife didn't really like the touch of smoky taste, but she's no wing expert. I typically don't like when they have a smoky taste to them, but these wings were fried with a great layer of sauce and just a hint of grill smoke on them. I thought they were Terrific. Definitely gonna try this again server if we're wonderful. The set up was nice a typical style bar use shape with high top seating and standard seating. We really enjoyed it and will be back.

Our group of six enjoyed dinner on a Saturday night. We had to wait 30 minutes for a table. Not sure if they take reservations. Our server was very pleasant. Open faced corned beef sandwich, burger, sushi, turkey club and their special grilled cheese were the items we had and everyone was happy with their meal. Prices are very reasonable and they have different dinner and brunch specials available on different days. We look forward to going back to try the driving range or to play pool. Great for families or groups.

I want to warn others that Calloway's is charging a 3% "processing fee" on debit card transactions…read more It is important for customers to know that in New Jersey, surcharging debit cards is not permitted under the law. Check for yourself, a quick search on Gemini or Grok yields the same response "No, it is generally not legal for a NJ restaurant to charge a 3% fee on a debit card transaction, even if they label it as a "credit card" fee." When I questioned the manager about this, I was met with excuses rather than a resolution. Point is that management can help prevent this by adding the debit card fee everywhere the rule is posted. It is clear this practice is about padding the restaurant's bottom line rather than covering costs. While our server was wonderful and not at fault, the management's lack of transparency is unacceptable. I like Callaway's but don't like their management who take no responsibility in rectifying this simple problem.

Visited Lefty's Tavern and had a pretty good experience overall…read more The standout appetizer was definitely the fried calamari. It was perfectly crunchy, well seasoned, and had just the right amount of salt. Great appetizer! For my entree, I ordered the Salmon BLT, which was a Lefty's recommendation. Unfortunately, it fell a bit flat for me. Maybe the lefty recommendation symbol gave it too much hype and because of that I thought it would've impressed me more. Also my mother noticed that the salmon wasn't fully cooked in the center. I also tried the Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was white meat, my dad really wanted dark meat and he said this could've been better but it was still good and enjoyable. What really elevated the experience was the service. The lady that attended to us was so attentive throughout the meal, checked in regularly, and made sure everything was taken care of. That made a big difference!

Tonight specifically, I went to dinner with my girlfriend for an early Valentine's Day dinner, and had yet another pleasant experience! I ordered a ribeye steak, it was cooked perfectly, which is something that rarely happens at restaurants. It was also very good, one of the best steaks I've ever had, which is especially impressive for a non-steakhouse! I was overall very impressed tonight that it prompted me to leave a review. Not that I haven't been impressed the other times. Our waiter, Chris, was also exceptional. Very speedy and proficient in the serving process. Very accommodating and constantly asking to help. Went above and beyond to ensure us a good experience. The atmosphere every-time I go is great, I always love the southern-like feel with the country music playing, and the clover leaf to highlight Irish heritage! Would recommend this place to anyone, they always deliver a great experience. Look forward to returning as I always do. They have never disappointed! Of course, nobody is perfect besides Jesus. My only critique is how long it took for us to be seated when we first arrived. This, of course, is a good sign for the restaurant, as they're busy! I'm just nitpicking, but I did get impatient while waiting to be seated. After that, I had yet another tremendous experience as always! I wish I was able to give 4.5 stars, because I don't like to give out 5s as nobody is perfect besides Jesus, however 4 stars is too low! Think of this as a 4.5 star review! Well done to Caffrey's as usual, and waiter Chris!

Part One: Sunday This review is for two different visits…read morethis past week. One was for this past Sunday. We had Randi as our server and as first time visitors to this Sea Girt location, she helped us get acquainted with the menu and the restaurant as a whole. We were scouting it out for the following day to watch the Knicks Finals game. The restaurant is loaded with screens! They have larger screens on the wall and smaller ones all next to each other above the bar. And they pipe in the game sound once the game starts! So all boxes were checked off for us. We also had a delicious lunch. I had the Apple Salad with grilled chicken. It was fresh as could be, huge and so delicious. One of the best salads I have had in a long time. My husband was just as happy with his Caesar Salad and hamburger patty. He raved about the hamburger meat and we both ate every morsel of our meal. A great location as we just had left the beach and were starving! Randi's service was top notch and she is super nice and friendly. Matt, the Manager also stopped by to check on us and make sure everything was OK, which was great to see. Part Two: Monday The next day, we watched game 3 of the NBA Finals at Tommy's. Now we're already starting to become regulars! We had Julian as our server. Another great Tommy's employee! Turns out he went to high school with our son! Small world. It was our first time watching a game at the restaurant. We had a huge booth and plenty of room. It was drink special night on Monday, so we got 1/2 price specialty cocktails, which was nice. We ordered bar food this time - - wings, brussel sprouts, Caesar salad and margarita pizza, all of which were very good. Very impressed with the wings, that are baked and come with onions and peppers on top. Julian kept our glasses and bellies filled and, even though the Knicks lost, we had an amazing time at Tommy's for the game. Thank you Randi, Julian & Matt for a great week at Tommy's. We will be back soon.
