Tremendous breakfast today. Enjoyed a sausage, egg and cheese wafflewich. Also had a short stack of stuffed French toast loaded with cream cheese filling. Very nice place with excellent food. read more

Great and friendly service. Food was great and had a good atmosphere. The waitstaff was very attentive and kept checking up on us.

Service was great. Chicken tenders for kids, corned beef Reuben, French onion soup, French dip for adults was just what we needed. And did I mention our service was great. read more

Very nice service, I feel bad giving a lower rating but the food was a little disappointing. Everything seemed like it had sat under heat lamps for a while, dried out or discolored. Tomato slices were not fresh read more

Always great food at scojos, shout-out Micah who was our server he was awesome. Even though it was super busy he still gave us great service!! read more

I have purchased many meals over the years with friends and family at Scojo's with good service from both the original and new owners before and after the fire. Today just was not a great experience for lunch due to lack of attention from the server and additional waitstaff. The waitress was busy with multiple tables and part of our order was not served with the rest of the food as I am assuming she forgot to put it in. Understanding that can happen as I was a waitress on LBI myself but typically the server will at least come to your table to ask how the meal came out, do you need refills etc and that just didn't happen today. The food was ok but based on past experiences, I would expect more from this restaurant and staff. read more

excellent better than ever came with a party of seven including my 2 year old granddaughter food service was great read more

Love them! I have gone there several times over the years and never had a bad experience. Everyone is so nice! Food is always exactly how we want it and delicious!! read more

Was amazing before the new ownership now the place has lost its family feel. It took the waiter 30 minutes to even come up to us and when he did he didn't speak a word just held out his notebook. The food took 1 hour to get there and once it did the it was mediocre. The bacon was undercooked and the home fries were sweet potato which they weren't advertised as. Am very disappointed because Scojo's is a place I enjoy going to with my family for the past 20 years. read more

Breakfast is great. More food than you can eat and everything tastes great. The service is also good.

Change in ownership. Food is mediocre and overpriced. Scojos used to be our go to but there's nothing here for us to give it another try.

Awesome restaurant!! Best breakfast in LBI! The pancakes are delicious and great kids menu!!

Everything was delicious. My son had the cinnamon swirl pancakes and they were amazing. I had the French Dip with sweet potato fries. It was delicious. I could only eat half of it so I got to have the other half for lunch the next day. The service was just as excellent as the food. read more

SCOJOs is a godsend on the island. Easily best breakfast - skillets are to die for. Wait can sometimes be long, use waitlist

They were very busy and told us an hour wait, but it was worth it. All four meals were outstanding and the service was top notch.

This was amazing. The service was tremendous. One our way to a treat. Random pick. Will do it again. read more

Expensive for the portion size. Quality and service visibly and significantly worse since new ownership took over. Better options are out there read more

Greeter was sweet! The waiter was attentive and the food was delicious. I typically don't finish my pancakes but this time was different it was hard not to. I had to wait for almost an hour but it was worth it. Definitely join the waitlist if you want to dine in here on a Sunday for brunch. read more

Scojo's - Full moon and Traditional Eggs Benedict - New American Near Me - Surf City, New Jersey

Scojos deserves 10 stars!!!! This is hands down the best place to get breakfast on the island!!! The owners are super friendly as are all the staff. The foods are very fresh and cooked to order!!! no lie everything on the menu is incredible and very affordable. This is by far my favorite place to eat on a daily basis!!! read more

Food was delicious. Fiancé said it was the best taco salad ever! Service was very quick and friendly. Dining room is bright and airy.

Food is just OK but pretty costly. The only reason for 3 stars is all the employees were lovely and the place is cute. The banana bread French toast is great in theory but it's very oily, dense commercial kitchen type banana bread turned into French toast with caramel on top. Very heavy and way over sweet. They were out of crab cakes for the Benedict, so we ordered a Bella skillet which had basically no flavor despite having mushrooms and roasted peppers. There was zero seasoning on the eggs or the potatoes. Everything had lots of potential but both dishes were a big disappointment. read more

My wife and friends are regulars here. The food is always consistently good and staff are so accommodating. Love the owner, very friendly, and makes sure everything is perfect for you. read more

Best corned beef hash I have ever had. And friends, I've eaten a lot of hash. The service is usually very good, the pancakes (gluten free and regular) are fluffy and the eggs are good. I don't recommend the egg white omelet though--it was inedible (I think they put cream of tartar in the egg whites to make them fluffy and it tasted like...cream of tartar in egg whites lol) Overall a great breakfast place. I've never eaten other meals there. Ps: They are dog-friendly at their outdoor dining area! read more

Diner-ish type place. Good pancakes...and their morning muffin is scrumptious! I went with the Big breakfast...ok so I split it with the future Mrs. Go with the home fries instead of the hashbrown patty and their sausage...You're welcome. Coffee was blah. Service started blah but turned out to be redeeming. We had kids running around so they were patient and accommodating. Family friendly. Good prices. Expect to wait any morning during the summer. Enjoy! read more

We have been on vacation in Surf City this week and in 36 hours went to Scojo's 3 times! The place is awesome. The outdoor seating is really quaint, the service is excellent, and the food is awesome. Their breakfast menu has so many delicious options and is customizable. Love the fresh squeezed orange juice. The pancakes (Chunky Monkey) are delicious, the banana bread French toast is out of this world. Eggs, avocado French toast, hash browns, all superb. Love the Turkey sausage patty option. After two breakfasts in a row, went back for lunch today with friends, and once again the place didn't disappoint. A really varied and delicious lunch menu just like their breakfast fare. I am hooked and anticipate I'll be going back over and over! Happy to have found this gem in Surf City. read more

Had an excellent brunch here. It's really nice that they give you the option of Ezekiel bread for toast. Even the decaf was good.

I was somewhat amazed at how big the menu was. Not only was it big, it was semi-confusing. For those who don't like to read through a menu like you would a novel, you'd be thrown for a loop... from Blue Plate Specials, Lunch Specials, Breakfast Hours, to Early Dinner Specials. Yes, they all have different prices and require a little bit of mathematical know-how to figure out. To Order: Open Faced Roast Turkey Sandwich w/ Mashed Potatoes -While a little light on the gravy, a simple order of "EXTRA GRAVY PLEASE!" would solve that predicament oh so quickly. The turkey was slightly on the drier side, but was tasty nonetheless. I'm not sure what kind of gravy they used, but it was good and complemented the sandwich well. The mashed potatoes were a perfect addition to this order.. Scoop a small portion of mashed potatoes over the sandwich and prepare yourself for a big bite. You'll now be enjoying a common East Coast phenomenon of open face sandwiches in all their glory. French Fries with Gravy -They used a different kind of gravy than the one on the Turkey sandwich, a welcomed surprise. The gravy was very hot and so were the fries... slightly on the salty side, but definitely a delight to the taste buds. Our server was really cool and seemed to be interested in what we had to say. He took care of us just right, which is always more than anyone can ask for. Our waters never saw the bottom, our food came out pretty quickly, and the side orders that were ordered late in the game came out even quicker. The atmosphere felt like a humble, family owned restaurant that caters to the locals, and makes you feel at home every time you visit. I kinda wished I could try their breakfast foods... and understand their menu a little more. 4 Stars. read more

Scojo's - Open Sandwich Roasted Turkey - New American Near Me - Surf City, New Jersey

Nothing like I remember -it used to be a fabulous place on the island to eat it on a regular basis. Felt like I was rushed from the moment I sat down. Typical turn the tables mentality from the ownership And I know the price of everything is going up but the prices are kind of out of hand for the quality of food they make there now - good luck read more

Really good place for have lunch, dinner or any meal! We accidentally saw it on our way to lighthouse And on back way decided to have a dinner And it was not disappointed Dinner specials are good Servings are big Stuff really friendly and nice! Thank you! read more

Great family spot! Amazing service and wonderful staff. Traveling with a new born is always tough but the people at scojos were so accommodating. Made us feel like we were home! read more

The Jersey Benedict is the bomb. It comes with hash browns or potatoes. The eggs were perfect and the Hollandaise sauce was excellent. The service quick and courteous. read more

Not worth the wait. We walked in to be ignored for a few minutes by the hostess that just kept looking down and didn't even acknowledge people who walked in. We were finally greeted and told the wait would be at least 40 min. They have a clever system that sends you a text when your table is ready and an app that allows you to see how many people are in front. One of the few restaurants I've seen take advantage of this system and that was good. We waited about 35 min to be seated and when we were they told us it might be longer because they just seated a big table and they needed to take their order first. They probably should of taken ours as we were only 3 people compared to the table of 12 but they were there first. Our food came out fast but was a bit underwhelming. It's typical Diner food so don't expect anything more. There food seems to be heated up and not made to order. I ordered Mac and cheese that came right from a box but seemed to be microwaved up when prepared. Also ordered wings that came burnt but otherwise tasted pretty decent. They give bread for the table that seems to be a potato bread variant. Overall it's okay, I probably wouldn't go back as there are better places on the island for food. Prices are okay and better prices places but you get what you pay for. Good for a cheap meal but sacrifices are expected. Would get 4 stars if they had a more friendly and faster greeting and didn't seem like they were annoyed we walked in. read more

Scojo's is a really great restaurant. I have been going here for years for breakfast, and that is always great. I get the waffles, and they are great. Everyone else in my party always enjoys, and there are never any problems. Everything is great here for breakfast. I have also been to Scojo's for lunch, and it is good - like always. Today, we decided to come here for dinner. I ordered a twin lobster tail and everything was just as I'd expect from Scojo's - great. Also, I have to add that service and prices are great. I definitely recommend going to Scojo's if you are on LBI! read more

See all

Only been here once before for breakfast because the wait is normally insane, but we decided to randomly stop by and we go the last free table at 6pm. When leaving the wait was up to 45mins... Scojos is the closest thing to an all day diner on north end of the island and they have a huge menu with something for everyone. Portions were a great size, price was decent - if you arrive before 6 you actually get a great early bird deal also. The place is crazy busy and the servers work their butts off, but they all had smiles on their faces and seemed to be enjoying what they were doing. Definitely going back more often! read more
