This was my first time visiting Scojo's after their remodeling, and I really enjoy how they've brightened up the place! This little diner in Surf City definitely feels a bit more modern now, and it's absolutely packed with people on the weekends. My friend and I arrived without a reservation, so the only seats available were at the bar. I wasn't very impressed with the cleanliness of the bar area, especially with so many employees squeezed into one spot. Still, we were excited to grab some tasty breakfast food and the dishes didn't disappoint! I ordered the Breakfast Monte sandwich, which was absolutely huge and filling. It had everything you want in a breakfast sandwich.. some egg, cheese, sausage, and a bit of sweetness from the toast and maple syrup. I'd come back just for this sandwich alone, but their other breakfast options sounded super tasty as well! You can really find something for everyone on this menu. read more

I'm surprised I've never reviewed Scojo's! It's one of our favorite spots on the island. I love their breakfast BLT sandwiches, and everything else I've ever eaten there. They have daily specials, highway portions, and fair pricing. And they have fresh squeezed OJ, be sure to order one next time you're there! Always fast and friendly service, always high food quality. read more

Such a cute place on the island, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Very family friendly

Restaurant and store areas are very clean, no water pressure in the bathroom making rinsing hands after washing difficult . Omelette was fine, hash browns were probably the frozen variety, had zero seasoning but were well fried. Patty melt, with added ketchup still lacked flavor. Thousand Island dressing had little flavor, was mostly just sweet. Fruit & Nut salad was good, without the dressing. of note their menu has a V to indicate Vegetarian I would assume, but this notation is on items like Chef's salad, and salad including chicken. Clearly an error, but worth mentioning. Overall, my suggestion- stick to the eggs. read more

Scojo's has delicious food with ample size portions. The wait staff is super nice and they are efficient. Tables turn pretty quick and they have some outside seating as well. They have a waitlist, which, is very helpful during the summer season. They have a few parking spaces on the side of the building. If you are not lucky enough to get one of those you will need to find a space on the street. We live locally and really enjoy their food. read more

I had their pancakes - they were once one of the best but they have since gone down hill. They were burned and overcooked and rubbery. The pork roll was also overcooked and burned. I will not be returning. read more

Food was delicious, service was friendly and helpful, location was clean and fun. Definitely a fun place to go for breakfast, brunch or lunch while down the shore! Try it out! read more

Long wait and once we were seated we waited 40 mins before somebody even came over and took our order. Food was rushed out and undercooked. My toast was just warmed up bread. Waitress basically told us they forgot about us and once we finished eating we continued to wait for the check. I had my card in my hand and the servers were just standing around staring. read more

Such a great place for breakfast on the island, especially in the off season. There was a nice crowd for it being a Monday in April. Sat at the coffee bar and was served there - everything was great! So many options for breakfast or lunch. Definitely head here if you haven't yet! read more

Service was iffy, server didn't introduce herself and wasn't very friendly. The food was ok, they messed up my husbands ordered and they quite frankly don't know how to poach and egg. My egg was not poached but practically hard boiled. I don't know if I would come back. read more

Amazing breakfast! Endless coffee and huge portions Owner who is very attentive to his clientele and great service.

Max C was horrible. He stood over us while we weren't ready to order. Never asked what kind of wrap I wanted. We ordered no tomatoes ( said it twice) yet sandwich came with tomatoes. Max never came back to the table to refill drinks or ask how everything was - yet he walked past our table multiple times. Then doesn't even ask if we want anything else - he drops the check on the table & says nothing. Terrible terrible waiter read more

Great spot for breakfast or lunch! Food and service were amazing. Excellent specialty coffees and the food was fresh and cooked to perfection! Lots of outdoor seating or a comfortable clean, bright inside dining room. Convenient wait list option on their website before you head over to get right in. read more

I like Scojo's but the Loaded Lox Bagel was probably the most disappointing bagel I've ever had. At $15.99 before tax and the 3% credit surcharge I get a burnt bagel with the lox, cream cheese, onions, and cucumbers on the SIDE. I had to put it together manually??? I was so shocked when I got home and opened the box. The photo speaks for itself. I will say there was a generous amount of lox but I still can't believe I was given the bagel like this. Disappointing. read more

Great place. Real home fries and friendly service. It's a great spot for a cheery breakfast.

Best pick for breakfast on the Island. Nice selection, delicious food and great service!!

Came here for lunch on a Saturday and we pretty much got seated right away. The food was fine, nothing to rave about. Pretty neutral. However, the service was something else. All the women were super kind and helpful but there was a man working that was definitely low key racist or something. We were the only Asian customers in the restaurant and from walking in initially to put our names down to leaving, this man was really short/rude and not friendly to us. I'm only saying something bc usually I'd chalk it up to overthinking and let it go bc we had multiple interactions with him where he ignored us and I saw him personally go to other tables to ask them how their food was but then only neglect our table in the same vicinity. Really didn't appreciate that but the other servers were very kind so don't want to take away from their kindness. read more

Food was so good!! My quesadilla was HUGE for a decent price! Our waiter was great, very busy because of Mother's Day but he was busting out the food and waiting on all the tables! The place was filled with so much laughter and happy noise! Great place! read more

When we arrived, our drink order was taken immediately, then after we received the drink menu with plenty of options that sounded great, had we the chance to look at them before placing our order. One member of our party received their food 15-20 minutes after everyone else. the check was dropped and half the plates cleared prior to him fully getting to enjoy his food. we were asked if we needed a box with forks and knives in hand clearly still eating. Used to love scojos, disappointed with service that emphasizes quickly pushing you back out the door. Coffee was delicious! read more

If you haven't been to ScoJo's Surf city, NJ you are missing out on one of the best little eateries on Long Beach Island. The food and the service are both superb! Andy and his staff went above and beyond and even exceeded our expectations. We had our son and daughter in laws rehearsal dinner at ScoJo's in August of this year. It was quiet and quaint just like we wanted it to be. He closed the whole restaurant down just for us. It was perfect! Thank you Andy! Great job! Fondly, The Dean Family read more

I rarely go pancakes or French toast when I go out for breakfast but I was feeling it here. 2 moons is the single greatest breakfast item on the planet when you need sweet. 2 pancakes folded over filled with mucho sweet cream cheese whip cream n your choice of fruit for $12.99. Belgium waffles deserve a pic 2. Nicest people work here and were so great to my lil one. Fast service n all. They do the wiring list thing online and it was accurate. Will go again and order this along with one or more Bennys. read more

What an amazing menu with new flavor-blends and traditional alike. Cafe plus newly added grab 'n' go provides options that meet your day's plans. Service is fabulous and wants to please. Right on the Main Street thru Surf City- great for people watching, grabbing something quick as you're coming off the beach, great brunch site. Recommend! read more

So there's good news and bad news. For the good news, the owner/ host tried very hard to reduce our wait by seating us on the side outside under the tent. The bad news, we felt ignored and we smelled the horrible smell of trash in the downwind. The food was good but I was embarrassed because I bragged about this place to my friends... read more

Very clean, good food and service except I don't appreciate when the check is dropped only half way through my meal. Especially when it's not busy there is no need for that read more

I hate to do it Scojos but I have to say this time was not my favorite here. I get it, you want to increase your seating capacity and expand the inside to the outside. However sticking customers in a dirty parking lot under a tent in 90 degree heat is not working and created an awful breakfast experience. I believe this restaurant is under new ownership and the menu pretty much stayed the same, they painted the outside of the building white and kept inside the same. However in order to increase patronage which I get, they added an event tent on the side parking lot outside the backdoor of the kitchen. This is all well in good except in cases where its 95 degrees under the tent, the lot is sort of nasty with exposed trash and deliveries and nasty puddles of sewage and the staff looks hot and miserable and there are no fans. Stick with the inside, cooled off part and don't bother with the outside. Another thing I will keep from my original review, change up the recipe of your home fries. They looks dismal and they are tasteless and pitiful. The food is otherwise not bad, prices are still outrageous ($16 bucks for a couple of eggs and toast?). Not sure I would be back here. read more

We enjoyed this classic LBI breakfast spot. Delicious coffee, fruit cup that accompanies breakfast has a nice assortment of fresh berries. The menu is big, with lots of choices. We had a skillet and an eggs and toast plate and enjoyed both. Service is friendly. read more

Great food! Sandwiches were delicious. Loved the Buffalo fries. Wasn't packed at 2 pm on a Sunday.

As someone who spent time living in Texas, I appreciate a solid biscuits & gravy. Scojo's was good and hit the spot- good for the hungover person on Labor Day weekend (me) . Eggs Benedict on top broke apart nice and creamy with my fork- mixed well with the soft biscuits. Would have loved more sausage gravy, but hey- it is what it is. Pork roll was good. They forgot my orange juice but the coffee was spectacular. read more
