Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. We loved the Cali steak burrito, HUGE avocado toast, BBYC sandwich, buffalo chicken wrap, and chicken bacon ranch wrap.

The ordering setup is a little unusual (separate lines for food and coffee), and you might wait a bit for your food, especially during the busy summer season. But the kid staff is working hard, so relax! We'll keep coming back.

5+++++ Star Review for The Lighthouse, Surf City, NJ…read more Absolutely loved LOVED our visit to The Lighthouse in Surf City! Everything was on point from start to finish. We had the wings, fish tacos, and a chicken sandwich -- and each dish was better than the last. The wings were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the fish tacos were fresh and had just the right amount of kick, and the chicken sandwich was juicy and satisfying. The vibe of the place was beachy, welcoming, and laid-back -- just what you want at the Shore. Service was fast and friendly, food came out hot, and everything tasted made with care. Definitely a hidden gem and worth every star. We'll be back for sure!

I stopped by around 11am and quickly realized they had absolutely nothing out. They really close at 11 and just sell leftovers till 12. They had a few donuts so I got some to try but not much to pick from at all. When I asked about lunch sandwiches that I heard people raving about, they told me after Covid they never reopened that part of the deli. So they said they could still make a breakfast sandwich. I passed on the offer but my boyfriend got a Taylor ham egg and cheese on a bagel. It was really sad to look at, not a good sandwich overall. Would've been better off at WaWa. The donuts were decent but I definitely have had better on the island. I can appreciate how fresh they are but that's about it. Overall the staff was nice and the donuts were fresh but with hours so limited and no sandwiches available, I probably won't be back.

First, the good part: the baked goods at Ferrara's are some of the best on the island. I've never…read morebought anything there that wasn't fresh and delicious. Their prices are reasonable, too. Five Stars for quality. Now, the not so good part: the service is terrible. On multiple occasions, I've asked for something only to find when I get home and open the box that I was given the wrong thing. It happened today. I asked for two sticky rolls with pecans and I was given two with walnuts. The person who seems to make the most mistakes is the older lady who works there (whom I suspect is the owner, as all the other employees defer to her). She always looks stressed and out-of-sorts. My other complaint is that they aren't customer friendly. Last year toward the end of the summer, a friend gave me a gift certificate from Ferrara's that was supposedly good to the end of October 1st when they close for the year. When we went to use it in September, our last visit of the season to the island, we found the store closed for a week for some family event. When I explained what had happened after they reopened this year and asked if they would still honor the certificate, the grumpy lady said "no" because they had already "closed the books" for the previous year. For crying out loud, it was $20 coupon and I was a regular customer (emphasis on "was"). Despite the excellent baked goods, I prefer to give my business to bakeries that treat me well. Hence, I now buy most of my baked goods elsewhere, including at Big Apple Bakery on E. Bay Avenue in Manahawkin (next to the Acme Supermarket). Their stuff is just as good as Ferrara's and they have a larger selection. One Star for service. Five Stars plus One Star divided by two is Three Stars overall.

I was excited to try the sugar coated jelly doughnut, but in my opinion and others in my household, the jelly to donut ratio was off, there was too much jelly filling. The Boston cream doughnut was just OK and the orange Creamsicle I didn't like it at all. Overall, the donuts are good, but we like the jelly donuts at Big Apple bakery in Manahawkin better. The prices were reasonable, 5 donuts and an iced coffee was $15. The counter workers were very nice.
