    Thai wings
    D'London V.

    So decided to actually go and try some of their food to sit this time , let's dive in 1. Sliders ..... good and decent but the cheese basic and lacking some flavor . 3 outta 5 2. Salad was great , chicken had perfect chard texture and taste to it but the side of parm cheese had to be the cheapest brand used . 4 outta 5 3. The Thai wings . Just about perfect , not to crispy more of a grilled and the sauce was amazing. Could've been cooked maybe a minute longer but the flavor was great . I'm more of a flat person am I wish they gave but that's a preference. 4.7 outta 5 4. The drinks . Great just a regular margarita and pomegranate. Not bad at all. Well worth the size 5 . The server Hallie or Haley!! Not sure on the spelling but great . Above and beyond.

    Service was very good. Husband loved his prime rib with baked potato and asparagus. The crab melt was ok but wasn't what I expected. Clean and nice restaurant.

    We came back 2nd time, the food was delicious( we will order wings, soup, burger and grilled salmon), very nice restaurant. Nicole Tot was excellent. Definitely recommend to come and try it out.

    Wonderful Sunday afternoon

    Not up to par. The potato soup was thick like glue and too salty. The burgers had to be sent back in the kids meals. There was no sweet sauce to go with the sweet potato fries. I have to admit the barbecue ribs and chicken were worth going there for.

    Combo fajitas

    We were in the area visiting my mom and passed by while running some errands in the area. I was happy to see a Houlihan's as the one by me closed abruptly a few years ago. It was a little early for dinner, but we hadn't eaten lunch. We were seated at a booth close to the door, which was good for my mom, as she was getting tired and it was hard for her to walk. Our waitress was very friendly, but the service all around seemed a little slow. We ordered fajitas to split and my mom got a cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. Our fajitas were very good, but definitely heavier on the chicken than the steak. They could have given a little more guac and a little less of the shredded cheese. But they were tasty. We had some left overs and they heated up well the next day. My mom loved her cheeseburger. It smelled good. It had that charbroiled smell to it. The roll was nice and soft. When they brought out her burger it originally had regular fries and the waitress noticed and was like let me get you the sweet potato. I usually like sweet potato fries, but they seemed way overcooked. The regular fries were much better. I was happy to get my Houlihan's fix...lol. But the place definitely was in need of some updating.

    Spicy Blackberry Margarita! A yummy cocktail!

So when we needed a dinner location in the Brick, I figured we would try this location. Upon my early arrival, I was seated in the west facing room with ample natural light. There was only one other table of "early birds" nearby and they were loud but entertaining. Our waitress greeted me and brought some water and an ice bucket. I perused the menu while waiting for my friends. To my delight, this place is MUCH larger than Manahawkin. There are at least three rooms. Regardless, by the time we left, it was very busy. reservations are highly recommended. When my friends arrived, our waitress reviewed the menu additions. We decided on the oysters, octopus, arugula salad and the cod special. Everything was excellent. Service and pace were perfect. Plates promptly cleared, bread replentished. We shared a tiramisu and I had a double expresso. We will definitely return. I will take some photos on my next visit.

Kind, diligent, and a real smile, not a pained phony one that usually passes at so many other places. They make you feel at home. The food is not pretentious. It's attractive, but is served as being just what it is, no frills or hype needed. I stick to the specials usually and they are always top notch. For instance I am nearly always disappointed with prime rib, but here it is wonderful, and always done exactly as you like. A rare thing. Tonight I had grilled halibut, served with a bit of perfectly cooked broccoli and a baked potato. My God! The oysters on half shell are always fresh and delicious, and at $4 each a real bargain. So hard to stop eating them..... Meal comes with a basket of plain little rolls and a plate of cinnamon rolls as well. I'm not a cocktail connoisseur so I can't really compare too well with others, but I have to say the whisky sour I had really sent me - a wonderful taste. All this in a comfortable, dimly lit, homey place unchanged since 1973, with always smiling, mannered (! yes, really) people filling the tables. No reservations, but if you have to wait, no matter. You can sit in the welcoming and relaxing atmosphere of the bar room.

Well mannered , knowledgeable about the menu , sincere all well moving with a purpose. He treated us a lonely table of 2 like we were his only priority well simultaneously handling a 10 , 4 and 6 top. We sat in the side dining room facing the kitchen pass. We watched 6 pros handle business. Minimal words just chin gestures and some pointing. Some serious heat was moving thru that kitchen being passed to runners that kept that fire alive calling for garnish extra sauce and accoutrements as if it was Orchestra.Food was phenomenal. Egregious portions. Flavors layer. Sweet salty fatty creamy one after another nothing standing too far out or too far behind. The spice in the seafood dish was about right to let you know it was there but not over stay it's welcome. Plump seafood with a clean finish. We shared a bite with each other and went for seconds.
