This is a review for Oceanside dining at Jenks. I've been going here for about 35 years. The…read moreplace has changed tremendously over the years. I thought the upgrade to the bathroom was incredible. State of the art Dyson sinks. Easy to use and efficient. The place also has a great outside area with a view of the ocean! Our server Wesley was great. He was kind, efficient, & we enjoyed talking to him. Our food came out just as ordered. The food was ok. I remember Jenks taking a little more pride in the food and in previous years, I remember thinking, wow, this food is really delicious. This time I would give them a C for food. The drinks were good. I would say, pay more attention to the food & this place could be a home run!

I was pushed into the front stage when the band was on, and the next thing I'm being grabbed by my shirt and dragged out the bar. I'm 34 and have never been dragged out of anywhere.

ONE THING; The loudness of place is RIDICULOUS, the TV volume is so LOUD that my I-watch sent me a warning message. The bartender said it's loud because the game is on. I've been in sports bars and it's absolutely not this loud-it's even louder when commercials kick on. It just made the whole eating "ok"food uncomfortable.

Since it was lunch time we both got the sunset dinner specials which are served from 12:00 - 5:00 pm. Both of our meals came to start with a generous salad (you can also get a bowl of chowder if you aren't interested in salad), soft drink of choice, and dessert. (I got carrot cake and my mom got chocolate cake) The food was extremely fresh and came out very quick. The restaurant itself was also clean and we had a beautiful view of the water with the docked boats. Food - Broiled Jumbo Shrimp - These juicy broiled shrimp were smothered in the most luscious butter sauce. The shrimp itself were very tender and the seasoned butter sauce gave the shrimp an amazing flavor. My meal came with a baked potato that I added some butter too and a side of mixed veggies which were also seasoned nicely. - Coconut Shrimp - These were the most perfect coconut shrimp. Each of the jumbo shrimp were battered in a generous amount of coconut flakes and fried to perfection. These shrimps were crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. The shrimp paired nicely with the sweet chili sauce on the side. The dish was also served with French fries which were nice and salty.

It could actually be 2.5 stars. Had been here as a younger man and it was very good…read more The food was skimpy and lacking flavor. The price did not match the amount of food you get and to re-state, not much flavor. The service is good. The staff seem to hustle in bringing you the lackluster food. Sitting outside was the best part of dining there. But keep in mind, you are there to dine and that is the problem. As mentioned, was here as a younger me and it was significantly better....food and cost. Parking could be a challenge there.

The ambiance has a lived-in seashore patina with service that is uniformly excellent. For a million different reasons that have nothing to do with quality, I skipped the seafood and indulged in an enormous portion of Chicken Parmesan that was even better than the tasty crock of French Onion Soup that got the ball rolling. My companions all loved their seafood entrees. Damn them. We picked April because it's clear that this is the type of place that gets swarmed in the Summer -- for good reason. We'll see you again in October. Five easy stars.

This establishment is a diamond in the rough. Few places in the area excel at cuisine, service, and…read morestyle like The Off Shore. The ambiance is exceptionally warm and inviting. The food is fresh, flavorful and presents flawlessly. Their drink menu is enticingly creative. (Don't miss their espresso martini.)

Eddie the bartender was great!! I was fascinated by how his speed on drinks were accurate. He was not skipping a beat. Dan sat next to me. We hit it off.

Since it was still off season it wasn't crowded and it was easy to find a parking spot. We opted to sit inside since the weather was a little chilly and some in our group didn't bring a jacket and this spot is right on the water. We were prepared to not like our food...based on the reviews. I ordered the hanger steak salad and the rest of the group ordered sliders. We wanted to keep it simple. And we all really liked our meals. They were quite good. As for the drinks, I immediately noticed that the prices were not on the menu which means we got the tourist menu. I mentioned that to the server and she told me the price of what I wanted to order. We had some random drinks and they were fine. The band came on at 8, which was our cue to leave. This place is fine. It's a typical jersey shore bar.
