LOVE this place! It's basically why I visit LBI so that I can eat your amazing, flavorful, gluten free pancakes on Sunday morning. Food is always HOT, fresh, delicious, yum. See you Sunday. read more

Food is solid all around but they use paper straws that are 100% recyclable. More places need to do this. Well done. Breakfast is a must if on the Island. read more

Scojo is great. They provide top notch food, service, and the place is extremely clean which is a big deal now a days. The location of the restaurant is fantastic and the place provides a great LBI vibe. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Lovin' the revamped look / feel of Scojo's! The food hasn't changed though --- still delicious and reasonably priced. I had the banana caramel stuffed French toast this morning. read more

Came here for breakfast on the day I was leaving my vacation and it made leaving that much harder. Vast and varied breakfast and lunch menu and friendly service. Ordered an egg skillet and the portion size was huge and it was delicious. The person I was with got a simple egg plate and was equally satisfied. The only downfall was that we ordered a side of biscuits and gravy to share and it only came with one biscuit and we weren't able to purchase just one more biscuit (we had the option to buy a side of biscuits that comes with two or three). Additionally, the gravy was bland and the sausage was flavorless. Will be returning next time I'm on the island to check out their lunch offerings. read more

Amazing. I came here twice in two days. Yesterday I ordered the Beer Battered Fish and Chips, and they were delicious. The fish and chips were perfectly cooked, super crispy, and had a great taste. This morning I ate at Scojo's again, and I ordered the Waffle and Tenders Plater. The tenders were crispy, the waffle was soft and delicious, and the hash browns were great too. I also ordered a vanilla milkshake, and it was delectable. 5 stars read more

Always amazing options whether you go for breakfast or lunch. Staff is very friendly. Love this place.

My favorite place to eat in the island. Primarily as a breakfast spot. Reasonably priced with large servings. Have sweet tooth breakfast options like cinnamon french toast. And hearty options like scramblers. Everything I've ever gotten there for breakfast Hass been incredible. read more

This is an amazing breakfast/lunch place in Surf City! The servers are so sweet and the menu has such a wide variety of food that there's bound to be something you'll enjoy. I've come here a few times already and I've left every time extremely satisfied. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area!! read more

I ate here with my hubby, kids and parents while vacationing at the beach. My parents prefer American, down-home cookin' when it comes to food and they were very pleased with this place. Our server was very friendly and accommodating to my kids, which I really appreciated. My family ordered a variety of things - club sandwich, kids meals, Thanksgiving Dinner, Fish&Chips and Clam Strips. We took advantage of the "early bird" specials which came with soup or salad, entree, dessert and coffee or tea ($15.99) The portions are VERY large and I don't think anybody in our group was able to finish their meal! Overall, this was the best value and bang for our buck that we found in LBI! read more

Best breakfast/brunch! Kid friendly we had a party of 10 including 4 children and everyone was happy!

Decided to try this place because it said vegan options on Yelp, but there are NO vegan breakfast options. Wallys or incredibowls are close and have GREAT vegan options! Would love to support this business and it would be great if they offered a more inclusive menu! read more

Stopped in for breakfast during Chowderfest. Great food and fabulous service. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back. read more

Another meal at Scojos! Another satisfied group! The staff is so nice. The food is great! Ask for it if you do t see it on the menu, they will make the old menus offerings! read more

A family favorite for years!! We visit every year, and this year we are there a handful of times in one week. The breakfast is amazing. Carrot Cake Pancakes, Irish Benny, even the breakfast tacos were amazing. The kids love the French toast and the birthday cake pancakes (so so yummy). It gets really busy, there is almost always a wait - but if you get there at 7/7:30 when they open, your almost always guaranteed a table right away. read more

Our favorite restaurant for breakfast on the entire island. This is a must stop for our family whenever we visit LBI. They have a HUGE menu and an amazing specials board to choose from. The staff is always friendly and inviting, especially the manager Joe. A recent remodel of the interior makes it look like a new restaurant but fortunately the food and service has not changed. And the food.. in addition to all the breakfast staples you will find delicious twists to pancakes, French toast, waffles, omelettes, and more that will make it difficult to decide. But that is why we keep going back! It is best to get there early to avoid the lines because the secret is out about this place. You will not be disappointed. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! First time here yesterday and was absolutely amazing!!! Servers were super nice and very attending, food was phenomenal! Came here for breakfast and it came out super fast. I only live in Toms River and traveled 45 minutes to come to this delicious eatery and will be back very soon read more

A new owner, but he was humble and new how to deal with us as customers!!! Went for breakfast and lunch!! Everything was delicious!! Waitress was very nice too!! read more

One of our favorites in LBI, been regulars for years and never disappoints! The skillets are something we crave and dream about but let's not forget their amazing biscuits too! Their food is always fresh and delicious. Scott and Joe, the owners and the rest of the staff are always there with a warm welcome. Great breakfast and lunch spot, and a casual dinner too! read more

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Everything I expected for a great lunch. For what I ordered, Scojos hit a home run. This was my first visit here. The girlfriend and I stopped by for a late-late lunch, around 4PM. There was zero wait at this time, so I cannot speak for the dinner rush hour time slot. I ordered the pastrami melt on rye. When the dish first arrived, I was shocked at the behemoth placed in front of me. This sandwich was seriously huge, but that's totally not a bad thing. I came here with an big appetite and this sandwich delivered. I don't typically order pastrami, and in fact it may have been the first time I had it. The meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The melted swiss and russian dressing helped compliment the sandwich perfectly. I usually hate brown mustard, but I found my self dipping away, as I came to find out that pastrami + mustard = yes please. This will not be my last visit to Scojo's, as I plan on stuffing down these sandwiches at every opportunity I can get. No complaints on the service, either. read more

We ate here tonight July 11, 218 and the portions were HUGE and delish! The place is very small and their website does not mention call ahead seating or reservations . You MUST do one or the other ! We tried to eat there last night and the wait was 1 1/2 hours. They need to mention the call ahead seating on their website because i specifically looked for that last night before we headed out and was a bit ticked when the wait was so long and my (very large ) boys were starving ! But tonight made up for it. The prices are great too! read more

don't get the hype. omelette was dried out and couldn't even taste the ingredients. ordered home fries got hash brown patty, ordered small milk got and was charged for large. and they weren't busy to use as an excuse. it was recommended to me as the best breakfast place. not to me! read more

My experience here was pretty pleasant when I went for dinner. I opted for something simple- fish and chips. My dinner as all dinners come with a free soup or salad, plus rolls and my coleslaw. The caesar salad was good but the croutons were soggy. The fish and coleslaw was amazing. My fries weren't made properly (again somewhat soggy) Beware soda does NOT have free refills here. $0.59 per refill. Overall, my family all enjoyed their meals and pricing was reasonable. They could update the inside read more

Fantastic place, great staff, always must on Long Beach Island. The wife and I try to come here every time where down

Great breakfast place! Shout out to waitress Lindsey-consummate server! Like it better than Wally's where you have to order 4 egg omlette! "Hold on Elizabeth, I'm coming! Scojo's never disappoints. read more

Good food and great service despite how crazy busy the servers were. Choose the waffles over the pancakes.

Breakfast for dine in and take out while in LBI. Great staff, good coffee, delicious pancakes. Get your day rockin at Scojos!!

Always our go to on LBI vacations. Breakfast is our favorite but lunch is terrific too. They have totally renovated the restaurant and it is just beautiful. Food is fresh, generous portions, and always consistent. We love our SCOJO'S! read more

Overpriced underwhelming staff was great why do I have ants crawling all over my table and they have the nerve to charge 250 for coffee that tastes like mud read more

Good solid place for real food, home cooking. Nice place inside- a little tight on seating, so don't expect a romantic dining experience- expect good value, good eats and a family atmosphere. Very popular cornerstone community type restaurant. read more

This well-organized and smartly decorated restaurant is our new breakfast favorite on the island! Everything we ordered was delicious: banana bread French toast ( who doesn't like dessert for breakfast, lol), the tropical crunch whole wheat waffle, ricotta and lemon curd pancakes, and kids French toast. We were there for a late breakfast and saw some tasty-looking lunch items arriving at other tables. The staff were attentive and friendly. We're looking forward to our next visit! read more

Delicious, great COVID protocols, loved their wings!! Staff was friendly and nice!!!!

So very disappointed that this favorite of our family is not what it once was. After 4 times going there and experiencing hour long waits after being put on the list an hour earlier, the quality of food going down and the wait for food once seated is forever is now typical. So sad. Where are you Scott? Hope to go to a new place you open so we can have the same Scojoes experience we have enjoyed for over a decade. read more

I used to go here and it was great. Now every time that I've gone, I have been nothing but disappointed. The wait times are tremendous. We were told it would be a 15-20 min wait when in reality we waiting for 40 minutes. That has happened more then once so it wasn't just today. Not only that but even when you check in and the app tells you that you will be next in line they will give up the open table to a group that just walked in even though that table suited my group just fine. The food is pretty good but in my opinion the wait just doesn't make it worth it. I'm not one to give a bad review but this was just unacceptable at this point. Probably never coming back. read more

Loved the breakfast here--what a great place to start the day or head over to for lunch.

New owners. Not good anymore. Sadly. Tried 3 times so far this summer. 3 times my omelette was under cooked, they put loads of butter on toast when I said dry!, tables dirty, knives dirty. I could go on. Don't go. Not worth it. read more

The only reason my family and I return to Scojo's again and again is for the food. We love the breakfast and lunch items - the eggs, french toast, wraps, etc are all great - but HATE the service and waitstaff's attitudes. The waiter we seem to get every time is nice enough, I suppose, but he is unfortunately unable to do his job properly. If you ask for coffee he never brings any, if you request drink refills you get things you've never ordered, if you make changes to menu items they never come how you'd like. Though the waiter is an issue, the true problem with Scojo's is the manager/owner. I have never in my life experienced such condescension and rudeness from someone on Long Beach Island. Everyone eating at the restaurant is relaxed and happy - we're at the shore for goodness sake! - and the owner is angry and disrespectful. This problem is a serious one, and may affect my family's choice to eat at Scojo's. Hopefully things will be fixed in the near future, however, because we really do enjoy the food. read more

My family has a home in LBI and everyone has been going to scojos for years. The breakfast skillets (I get boardwalk skillet) are great and the specials are always creative (glazed doughnut egg & cheese is a good one). The place is always super busy and there is a wait pretty much every time, which is a sign of a good place to eat in my book. However, If you are looking for a fine dining experience with wonderful ambiance then you should look elsewhere. If you are looking for good food, good service, reasonable prices and to leave very full then this is one of the best places on the island to eat. read more
