You always worry when a place changes owners, so post COVID new owners, made me worried. For no reason. Service Food I had an omelette, so fluffy and fresh, with a toasted bagel (it's Jersey so it's expected to be chewy & delicious) and a fruit cup - berries (straw and blue) at least 2 cups and fresh fresh fresh! Went back for pancakes, couldn't not have scrambled eggs (perfect fluffy fresh) and of course the fruit cup. Same wonderful service, and delicious food. I wish they were open later (they close at 3) because I can never not have breakfast when I go, and the salad choices look amazing. Don't sit inside if you don't like noisy, it's lively in there! Outside is quieter and the staff does not forget you, promise. read more

Good breakfast eats ... can get crowded during the summer obviously... get there early especially on the weekends.

Perfect way to start off Chowderfest Saturday! We got onto the island and wanted to grab breakfast before the merchant-mart. We got to Scojo's and were told we had a 30 minute wait. We took a quick walk around the block and then took a seat outside. We were seated before the 30 minutes were up and grabbed our first round of coffee. I love the way that they have decorated the space. White shiplap with big glass fish hanging from the ceiling. Seating throughout the room is close but not overly crowded. The menu is the perfect mix of breakfast foods. Everyone at the table got something different. I got a shortstack with eggs and bacon. Chuck grabbed a bagel breakfast sandwich with porkroll. The adults got cinnamon roll french toast and pumpkin pancakes. The food came out pretty quickly and everything was super delicious. I am glad I got a mix of salty and sweet for my meal. It was a great start to the day and I did not feel weighed down (I thankfully ate only half of my pancakes). I can imagine how packed the waiting game can be in the summer. This place is amazing. Kids and adults will easily find something to eat for every meal. I definitely recommend taking the time to hit Scojo's up! read more

This place is consistently great. Great food and great staff. It's a family favorite on birthdays as they make it special.

Love this place, fun atmosphere! Fun menu , good service, good food ! Charge for a refill of soda not necessary! Can't wait to go back and enjoy a great brunch!!! read more

With an extensive menu, serving everything from pasta to a year-round thanksgiving meal to prime rib on weekends, there is something for everyone here. There are daily specials in addition to the extensive menu. Ambience is family-style and homey, perfect for some good old-fashioned home-cooked comfort meals! The food portions are decent and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the Greek chicken wrap and it was a good choice. This had warm grilled chicken, cucumbers, olives, feta cheese and lots of lettuce with a slight oil and balsamic coating. It tasted fresh, warm and delicious. I chose sweet potato fries as my side and that was equally good. Hubby got the prime rib special and enjoyed it a lot with the au jus. I didn't try the melted cheese quesadillas with chicken but they looked good. It was served on top of a bed of tomatoes and lettuce. The entire waitstaff consisted of teens or college students who were enthusiastic and exuded a type of charismatic energy. Our server was super sweet and did a phenomenal job. She checked on us frequently and even came and asked if we we needed anything else other than x, y and z that she plans to bring, which were the exact things I was going to ask for! read more

Solid place for lunch, brunch, or breakfast. We went for lunch - had an arugula salad with grilled salmon - ingredients were fresh and tasty. Turkey grilled cheese was good. Chicken soup had a tomato based broth - also good. Fries were great. Would return. read more

Definitely a great place to sit and enjoy breakfast/lunch on the island. Food was delicious and service was great.

We've been coming to Scojos for over 15 years. Started when the previous owners were there and loved it. Great food and service - plenty of delicious selections and always friendly smiles. Being loyal customers, we were concerned when we heard it was sold to new owners. Very happy and relieved to say that the new owners (who have been there for over 4 years now) are just as amazing. The food is still great, there are even more selections and the service is still as friendly as ever. We recently went over Memorial Day weekend and even during a busy weekend, the manager went above and beyond to help me out with a slight mix up about seating. She resolved the issue quickly and we had another amazing meal. Make sure you stop by if you're in LBI! read more

The food, service and atmosphere at Scojos were great. We had a wonderful breakfast with our family as we always do. We will return on our next visit to LBI. read more

Food cinnamon bun french toast tasted like the bun was frozen for a long time. Service was very good. It was very loud sitting inside.

Scojo's is Solid place. Great service and delicious coffee. Breakfast sandwiches are good.

Scojos has a packed house everyday. It's known as one of the best breakfast places in surf city. When you walk in you get a brunch vibe not so much a classic diner vibe (which I prefer). I got the Belgian waffle with strawberry's, bacon, and toast. The waffle was average. While it lacked flavor and was kind of bland it went well with the syrup and strawberries. The bacon was well done which I consider perfectly cooked; it had a nice crunch as well and was almost a flavor explosion in your mouth. The toast was fine. It was overly buttered tho which I didn't appreciate. I appreciated the service and it was a well run operation with the whole staff working hard. Overall I would give scojos a 3.9/5. I would go back again. read more

Just plopped down at Scojo's after a great night hitting the town. Our table all decided to buckle up and all get the Loaded Potato Omelette. And let me tell you, that was life changing. Unbelievable, delicious, and absolutely exquisite. The Loaded Potato Omelette has changed my life, it was a lifeline to resurrecting me after last night. I've decided I will start looking at things differently knowing breakfast like that is out there. 5/5 and did not disappoint. read more

We stopped in for our annual 'last day on the island breakfast' at Scojo's and as usual it was delicious. Even though I am usually picking from my daughter's plate instead of ordering them myself, I think they make the best pancakes on the island. If you don't get there early be prepared to wait, because this place gets packed quickly...by 8am there is usually a line of people waiting outside. Never been here for anything other than breakfast, but never walked away disappointed. Great breakfasts, affordable prices, and staff that are friendly and fast (I wouldn't linger too long however...remember there are a lot of people who want your table). read more

I liked this place. There was a bit of a wait and it's not too big inside. The food was tasty. I had a pastrami melt and my hubby had a pastrami Reuben. The portion size was ample and I like the fries, coleslaw, and pickle too. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. read more

Good reliable spot for breakfast on the island. Specials are normally tasty. Wait can be long as it is a popular spot. I think it recently has new ownership but haven't noticed any difference in quality. read more

Had breakfast on our way home today - tried to soften the blow of leaving with a delicious breakfast . We headed over at 9am on a Saturday and were quoted a 35 min wait for our party of 4. I must admit, we were daunted by the list of 17 groups, ahead of us (including a party of 15!) but it really did move quickly, maybe because we took first available. We were seated within 20 minutes, outside under the tent. Our server was a gentleman, and he was very polite and attentive, as well as the entire staff we encounter. Several staffers checked in on us to make sure we were OK. My son had a Mexican skillet, I had the lemon, blueberry pancakes, daughter had chocolate chip pancakes, and family friend had French toast. Everyone was very satisfied with their meals. Quick turnaround time. And we did not have to wait a long time for the bill, which is a major pet peeve of mine. In our week away at the beach, we only eat about 3 meals out. Scojos will continue to be our breakfast go to place as it has been efficient and consistently delicious! read more

We stopped by Scojo's on the main drag in LBI. They had a few tables set up for outdoor dining and it seemed that the staff was taking coronavirus precautions very seriously, which was reassuring. I ordered the Manhattan clam chowder and crab cake sandwich. The chowder was solid: flavorful and fresh. The sandwich, however, wasn't the best: the crab was brown and bready and the sandwich was topped with an overcooked portobello mushroom; all I could taste was mushroom and a faint plastic taste. The sandwich came with fries, which also weren't the best. The others in my party ordered a beet salad with chicken and the brunch burger. The beet salad was mediocre, with canned beets and flavorless chicken; the burger was overcooked but acceptable. Overall not the greatest experience. read more

Great lunch. We had the classic BLT and their Cheeseburger. Prompt service. This place is a legend.

If you are on the island you might want to come here for breakfast once they have a massive menu which can also be a bit overwhelming but once I ordered my food (waffle which) I was now estatic by the size of my meal, it tasted so delicious ( unfortunately I couldn't finish) only thing was my sandwich was a bit dry and for a side they gave me home fries so for as someone who is not a huge potato fan it might've been my favorite part of the meal and overall my meal tasted great and for the rest of my family they also enjoyed the food,our waiter was also very kind, my only critique is that it was very crowded and compared to wallys you could say This place was not that big so it was also very loud but that is to be expected from a delightful place like this overall I had a great time and look forward to coming back next time I am in LBI read more

Went here a few times and whether you go fro breakfast, lunch, or dinner - it is UNBELIEVABLE. The food and atmosphere was so amazing. Everything you order is made fresh and you can taste it in the ingredients. My calamari salad was so delightful and not overly breaded so it didn't make me feel sick at all. The omelet was to die for and the portions are always so big. Seriously, I could never finish an entire meal. If the food being amazing isn't enough, it's so nice inside and everyone is friendly and helpful. Some of the best waitresses/waiters I've ever encountered. Highly, highly recommend if you're in the area! read more
