Found this great gem on an unassuming corner. Open, airy space with great customer service. I had a breakfast platter. The tater tots were substantial and crispy (the best I've had). The sandwich sized english muffin was amazing. The pork roll was delicious. My boyfriend had the Cuban sandwich - huge portion, and very tasty. If I lived closer, this would be a go to spot. read more

This place is just the cutest, chillest morning vibes you could ever want on your beach vacation! I was thrilled that this place was walking distance from our bungalow rental, and took a quiet morning walk to order for my hubby and son. This is a great place to bring your family (babies and toddlers too!) and friends to sit and chill before beginning your day at the beach. Their menu has a lot of specialty items, and some even have a Spanish flare to them, which I think is so flavorful and fun to spice up your breakfast! I ordered our food to go, but decided on the breakfast platter for my son, a bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese or hubby, and I got the bueno burrito. As I waited, I was pretty amazed as to how much food they were cranking out of their little kitchen! I saw the multiple called in orders they were working on, and realized that calling in was probably better than walking in, but now I knew better. The staff was super friendly and bubbly, and the girl behind the counter was patient as I was totally spastic looking for the milk for my coffee. Why I would come back here with my 2.5 year old son: - they have a stash of crayons and other activities to keep your children entertained while eating; this is appreciated - they make their cookies on site and they are SINFUL; one is not enough - fair warning - the tables are spaced enough that if your child is a wanderer like mine, they have enough room to be curious without getting into too much trouble - the vibe is very welcoming and homey - if he decided to have a full blown tantrum, they sell coffee to go, so I could at least make a decent cup back at the rental This place is a GEM! read more

Must Eat here.. I eat here all the time. Food is very fresh, fast, nice portions, friendly employees. This place is not a tourist trap, they are open all year long. Parking lot straight off the Causeway. Best Tater Tots hands down. And great for kids. read more

What a fantastic breakfast, that was also reasonably priced! This was our first time at Maristella's, but we will definitely be back. I loved my bacon egg and cheese on the Nicky roll. And that I was able to add tots for just $2. My husband also loved his breakfast bueno burrito. Fast friendly service, one to try when you're on LBI! read more

Our 1st stop onto LBI is always Maristella's! Clean, Friendly, Fresh and Delicious. Coffee- iced and hot is always awesome. Love the #5! I'm low-carb so I get it with no bun and add chicken. Clean and fresh goodness. Prosciutto is always #onpoint. read more

Maristella’s Luncheonette - Veggie to Table Breakfast Wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

This is the place. Look no further; a half block from Drifting Sands. Breakfast, Lunch, Egg Sandwich, or Hamburger, there's no bad choice. The staff is cool and helpful. The coffee is good. This is an excellent local place with good food and good people. If I had a Maristella's, Dunkin would not stand a chance, and I would be twenty pounds heavier. read more

Will definitely return. Excellent choice if you want to grab breakfast or lunch at the beach. They have takeout or table service, my husbands "swine not" breakfast sandwich was just one of the dozens of unique sandwiches they offer. Friendly welcoming staff and clean. read more

Very nice and friendly owners and great food nice for taking children as well Will return and look forward to it read more

Fantastic little spot. Food and service are great. Hope this place stays around for a long time.

I came here for brunch and I walked in and did not expect too much. From what I was looking at the place was clean, looked nice, overall solid. I noticed another thing here, the service was incredible. And the food just as good. Words can't describe how good it was. I got a sub and some tater tots. The subs were large and they're were a lot of tots in the plate. When we were served, I took one bite of the sub and knew it was the best one I've ever eaten, same for the tots. Everything was fresh and warm and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Came by from the beach. It is super close. We got a mix of hot and cold sandwiches. They were excellent. Especially liked the tater tots Maristella style. Very unpretentious and beachy. A huge improvement over Wawas. We will definitely come back. It is perfectly located right before getting on the causeway for a sandwich or burger before driving home read more

A little cute spot at the start of 9th street on LBI. As we all live with the new norm of being lock in our houses. I decided to visit LBI for a short week and have someone else cook for me. I had the avocado toastado with tater tots and my sister had a traditional egg sandwich. The staff was so nice and pleasant. It's nice to support small businesses during these crazy time. So stop by when you're in the area. read more

Best best egg sandwiches on the island hands down. This is always our first stop on the island and whenever we have guests in town. Also they can do gluten free - hash browns (not in a separate fryer though) and gluten / egg free wraps. read more

Stopped in for the first time as my GF and I had a hankering for sandwiches, needless to say we WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! My cuban sandwich was absolutely delicious and my GF LOVED her RESPECTFUL BLT! The Berry Hibiscus refresher was also BUSSIN! read more

Their Sandwiches and salads are never boring. Bursting with flavor. Try the Cuban! Salads are large and full of creative ingredients. Their chicken salad tastes homemade. A true Mom and Pop shop that cares about serving great food. read more

Excellent lunch! Highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat. My sister got a sandwich and she said it was one of the best sandwiches she has had in a long time. They have a large selection of sandwiches, burgers, and wraps, ya high can also be turned into a salad. Good customer service and not too long of a wait at all. read more

Food was excellent. Fresh made wash day! We ate lunch here twice while at the beach. Really enjoyed.

Creative, delicious, well made and always fresh sandwiches! No better spot on the island to get your beach lunch from. The Fortuna is my fav:) delicious breakfast sandwiches and tots too! Not sure what I did without them, great addition to the island! read more

Amazing. food, service and environment is just the out of this world! very, very good, period.

We were visiting the area and struck gold here! The reviews don't lie the food is great and fresh! On a side note which I must include this was the nicest & cleanest bathroom I've seen at a restaurant. read more

This place is GREAT! Do not judge it by outside appearance!!! We drive to nicer "looking" places and decided to try this because it's right near our hotel. So glad we did!!! The chicken salad was so good that we decided to grab a bagged lunch for the road on our way out of town. Way better food than the other "trendier" places. read more

Great little place. Food was fresh. We had a breakfast sandwich and breakfast wrap. I've gone there a few times and they have always been very friendly. read more

Maristella’s Luncheonette - Great little luncheonette. Very friendly and food was tasty. - Sandwiches Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

Hands down the best pork roll egg n cheese sandwich. The owner is also a local guy who grew up on LBI, so stop in and support his business.

Maristella's makes a perfect Cod sandwich. We ordered to-go from the window and service was nice and food came hot and quick. I like how the sandwiches were wrapped and bagged so they stayed hot and didn't get squished. read more

Delicious sandwich but a bit pricey. Two Italian subs and an orange juice $33. Close to the beach and friendly staff.

Great little luncheonette. Our sandwiches were tasty and plentiful. Will definitely be going back again. The only reason I couldn't give a better rating is because this was the first time there and it wouldn't be fair to go by just one sandwich. read more

Excellent food and smoothies. Very friendly employees. The luncheonette is very clean too! Love the location to the beach. Calling ahead your Order is a great option too! read more

Friendly staff and service, their sandwiches are creative, tasty, and hearty.....a great combination. Easy to miss due to location and traffic in the area but worth a visit. I'll grab a sandwich to go when heading off the island. Definitely recommend Maristella's. read more

The food is excellent the owner/staff are nice. They are open all year. Try the #10 roast beef sandwich.

Love this little luncheonette! Perfect spot coming onto the island and grabbing a few sandwiches to bring to the beach. It is a super friendly family atmosphere with plenty of seating if you want to chill and eat in as well. The Maristella style fries is a must!! I had the Swine-Not breakfast sandwich and it was superb. The rest of the family had the Roast Beef, Tuna salad, and the Roast Pork hoagies. Everything was delicious (especially their bread)!! read more

I would like to say one thing: MARISTELLA'S!!! We were down last week and tried Maristella's for the first time, and we were so bummed we didn't try it sooner. We went there for breakfast and were so pleased!! The BEST Taylor Ham/Pork Roll, egg and cheese on a wonderful bun...it was huge! Fresh and perfect. The French Toast is wonderful and everything else we tried was great. We wound up going there every morning that week. Ken and Carolina are so, so friendly and nice, and so is the staff. The menu has everything you want for breakfast and lunch. It is spotless, priced very nicely and the attention to detail on the food is spot on. It is not a tourist trap, but rather a place for locals. We were so lucky to have tried it. Do yourself a favor and stop in, don't pass it by!! At the circle at 9th street in Ship Bottom right in front of Drifting Sands. A perfect, wonderful and happy place! read more

Delicious breakfast sandwiches! I had the Avocado Tostado. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff and quick order pick up. Will definitely be visiting again on our next trip to Ship Bottom! read more
