We have had great pizza here before but I ordered a white pizza and literally threw the whole thing out. There was an entire coating of ricotta under the mozzarella that was bad. I also didn't taste or smell any garlic. My spouse, who has different tastes than me also tried it and agreed that the ricotta was bad. read more

We took our 6 year old grandson here a couple of weeks ago and it was a perfect place for kids. Nice kids menu. Plenty of choices for adults including pizza and upscale bar food. The complimentary bread and dip was outstanding! We will be back. read more

First time dining here. Visiting friends from the area. They brought us to this restaurant. Food was delicious and service was outstanding. Four guests ordered four different dishes. We had a couple appetizers. Everything was fresh and delicious. Very conscientious staff. Restaurant is very clean, comfortable, and charming. I will definitely be back to try some new dishes. read more

What a treasure this restaurant is! My husband and I enjoyed a delicious dinner with live music (singer JLamar who was so good I thought it was recorded music around the corner) and the nicest group of servers and hosts . A real family place where young kids (very well behaved) could eat out with their parents while we could have a fabulous dinner of shrimp, hamburger done perfectly, chopped salad and sautéed fresh spinach. We'll come back from North Jersey! read more

Rockafellers Station - Ken enjoying Rockefeller Station in Long Branch - Italian Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

Food and service top tier! I had the rigatoni bolognese and chopped salad one of the finest Italian meals I've had in a long time did not expect it to be better than the bolognese I had in Italy a few years back! read more

Last Friday night, my friend and I stumbled into Rockafellers Station about 10pm because the Butcher Block place door was too crowded. But Rockafellers was empty, the kitchen was closed, and we started to walk out when the manager told us he'd still make us some food! We decided to stay, we were the only ones sitting at the bar, and we ordered a shimp scampi appetizer, I ordered a steak, and my friend a burger. Well, let me tell you: we were treated like KINGS! They brought out a fabulous bread basket of melted-cheese bread, the shrimp app was perfect, as was my friend's burger--and my steak was a steakhouse-quality steak! Served with some great Italian-style spinach, and I had asked for a pasta side, and they brought me an entire bowl of rigatoni in butter & cheese! ALL the food was 4-star quality, they didn't rush us eating, cleaned up around us, but man, they treated us like visiting royalty! I told them the Biblical story of Abraham treating his 3 desert visitors like angels, but he didn't know they were angles--and the angels were blown away by that! So were my friend and I, and that's why EVERYBODY should visit Rockafellers for a GREAT meal--I guarantee you you'll be treated like kings & queens no matter WHEN you get there! read more

Ate at Rockafellers Station on July 27, 2024. Wanted to be on the water, unfortunately Rockafellers is not; but what it lacks in location it more than makes up for in food and drinks which were very good. One negative was the dressing on my beet salad which was an orange citrus dressing which tasted very artificial. Other than that the food was AWESOME, drinks DELISH and service was GREAT. Going back for the meatballs, beet salad and a pistachio martini YUM !!! read more

See all

Well the waitress was super untill we were easy to leave. We waited way way way way too long for our check to be picked up and rung up. The food was good, the ambience ok. From 0 to 5 it was a 3. read more

I looked at the menu online 1st; Caesar salad with grilled chicken $14. I ordered through Door Dash and the Caesar Salad was $14. I assumed that was with grilled chicken because of the price and grilled chicken wasn't an option for an add on. I get the salad and it's Romain with a few shaves are parmigiana on top with 2 long toasted wedges of Italian bread....for $14?! I understand prices going up but knock it off! The girl in the phone said grilled chicken is $6 add on...STOP ripping people off and justifying it with "inflation". MJ's has fantastic salads, not 1 salad is over $20. The Salad Shack nit 1 salad is over $20. A cartering salad at Olive Garden is $25 and that includes vegetables, breadsticks and a bottle of dressing. You should be ashamed of yourselves. read more

BEST rigatoni vodka pasta I have literally eaten in my entire life. I would legit drive the 40 min from our house out of the way for this pasta. Their salads are really good too. I wish I took a photo of it because it was fantastic. Will definitely be back soon. Everyone there was very nice. read more

Called Rockefellers a couple of weeks before Christmas to find out if they were catering for the holiday and boy am I glad they said yes!! The food was amazing! The meat sauce with linguini was scrumptious. The lasagna was thick, meaty, and delicious! Everything was great and the quantities were MORE than enough for the amount of people we had. They were friendly, accomidating with all of my calls and texts, and prompt. We will be back!! read more

I sang at Rockafellers Station March 2nd. This was the first time I appeared there. During my breaks I asked some of the patrons," how was their night?" Everyone I spoke to said everything was good or great. They loved the food, the waitresses, Mary the bartender and the music. I mentioned to them if they wanted to they could rate their experience on Yelp. Every person I told that to never heard of Yelp or the rating system. They were all 50+ so I can understand them not knowing about Yelp. What I don't understand is why Yelp would put real customers reviews of the restaurant on their not recommended list. read more

Fantastic and old school Italian restaurant in Long Branch. My parents are old school Italians and their go to restaurant was Tuzzios. They have since closed. In search of a replacement we went to Rockafellers. My parents were amazingly surprised with the food, service and overall experience. From the minute we walked in, we were welcomed with a big smile and hello from Renee the owner. We were seated and served hot bread with delicious dipping sauce. We then shared a large portion, family style, Caesar salad. Then came amazing appetizers mussels marina and zuppa di clams. Both were outstanding, my Dad a tough critic, loved the mussel sauce. Then a generous and large, eggplant rollatini entree over rigatoni came out. We split 3 ways and more than enough. The rollatini was one of the best we had, light and super delicious. We capped off our meal with Cheesecake and a Cannoli. My parents loved both desserts. The service throughout was the best! Our family has now found their go to restaurant, our overall experience was beyond expectations and we will back soon! read more

Food is very good, but VERY slow to come out of the kitchen. Our server made no apologies. Had a bit of an attitude. House wine is good. Live music made the night fun in spite of the slow kitchen. Probably won't come back. read more

Fantastic new Chef! New Menu!! Best food in the area and great customer service! Love it here and you will too!

Really high quality food here. I keep getting the Fetuccine w/ Short Ribs. So amazing. They give you PLENTY of food. Plenty of bang for your buck.

Take all this and add in the friendly staff and owners, and you have yourself a great place to go out for an evening. A+++ read more

Love this place! The service is great here. I came in when they were closed and they still served me. In fact, I didn't know they were closed until I discerned it and asked! They even gave me a free pie out of pure kindness. Ps. They're open on the 4th of July. read more

This place was recommended by my airbnb. The chicken parm was not good. I had a side of pasta aioli and it was just oil on top, not tasty. Chick was not fresh. read more

Really good Italian food. My dad goes here a lot and brings food home. I'm always exited because their food is delicious. Their menu is unique and their flavors are different and authentic. Very fresh and just delicious. Love it. read more

Great place. Love the home made pastas and the steaks. Waitress Tony is the best!! Don't live near by, but worth the trip!

Great food and you couldn't find a nicer staff. They accomidate kids and go out of their way to make a great experience.

Was there March 2nd,found the food to be very good and the staff very accommodating considering the place was packed.. There was a singer there Joe Pasc.. who was superbly entertaining,singing old favorites from Sinatra,Dean Martin and Sammy!!! Unfortunately he really couldnt be fully appreciated due to the volume of people and the chatter,hope he comes back,he did a really good job and it seemed that a lot of people appreciated his music. read more

So delicious! Was recommended by a friend and it was perfect. Food is so good. Service is great. We can't wait to go back. Chicken parm amazing as well as the crab cakes and the pizza. Best restaurant in Long Branch by far. read more

This was my second time there and I was looking forward to the rerurn trip but unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. The wait time from walking in to getting my food was 90 minutes. I was told first, food is made to order. Well isn't all food at a restaurant made to order?? Then I was told that the chef got 50 orders all at once. Well isn't that on the management to set your reservations at appropriate intervals so your kitchen DOESN'T get slammed and your guests don't get left eating bread all night?!?!? Overall it left a very bad taste in my mouth, will not be back. read more

First visit to this relatively new spot in Long Branch. Very attentive staff. There were 5 of us. We had calamari, pizzas, grouper francaise, gluten free pasta Bolognese, draft beer and wine. All the food was delicious especially the grouper which was richly flavored and delicate. The pizza crust was a bit dry and overly firm in my view and might benefit from re-evaluating the recipe. The pizza toppings however were delicious and plentiful. Prices were fine considering the quality and quantity of food. Will definitely return. read more

Good food as others have reviewed. But slow service, one hour to get kids food & another 15-20 minutes for adult meals. Slow........

Service is really great- our waitress was very nice and accommodating and treated us like friends. You get big portions and it was overall a great meal. I got the seafood in pasta. Good place to try out! read more
