This was our first time eating at Hooks Bar & Grill. It was in walking distance to our Motel which…read moremade dinner very easy. We ordered the crab cake sliders , the lobster roll , and the shrimp cocktail . I also got a Heineken 0.0. Overall the meal was really good. We loved the bar atmosphere and being able to watch baseball while we ate. I enjoyed that there were also arcade games and things to do. My only reason for giving it 4 stars and not 5 was because of the lobster roll. The lobster meat itself was a little tough and the roll was a little soggy and not toasted up like we hoped for. But it was still okay. The sliders were delicious! And the shrimp were also pretty tasty. Service was phenomenal and we were seated right away. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely stop back in!

If you come down to seaside, this is a good spot for dinner, they do get busy so be patient. We had spinach/artichoke dip, chicken salad but wrap and a corned beef sandwich, the beef was very lean (bonus). And the potato salad was a nice option over fries.

The time…read morebefore last, I came with my cousin and we sat at the bar which is extremely large and comfortable. Our bartender was excellent and after hearing I was vegetarian, she recommended the eggplant sandwich. The eggplant is thin and perfectly crisp. I low key wish this was an eggplant parm or dressed with some type of sauce, but it's delicious on its own. Last night we went Klee's and the food was good but the service was exceptional. Our waitress was extremely attentive. I got the eggplant sandwich with fries which I almost forgot about (I don't know how). Their fries are crisp and incredible. My mom got the meatloaf and instead of mashed potatoes got fries. Instead of broccoli, she got green beans. The portions were huge and she was very happy with the substitutions. We also got dessert which we regret not sharing because their portions were huge. She got the chocolate peanut butter pie and I got the apple crisp. The apple crisp was stacked. Both were good! Next time we will definitely split dessert because we were stuffed. I highly recommend checking this spot out. Oh if you are in the mood for lighter food, their nutty pear salad is so refreshing and yummy! I will definitely be back!

Big Pizza Slice The…read moreSawmill has been an institution in Seaside Park for years. I've never had a piece of pizza as large as their extra large slice. The pizza hasn't changed much over the years, it's a typical Boardwalk large slice. They don't seem to use a very good cheese so it's not very stringy but the crust is flavorful and thin. Our bartender was very hospitable and the place has a good atmosphere. The only issue here is that after labor day it is dead season on the shore so this place like most others close early. Thanks
