The booths are on the smaller side, so if you are a big back like me, consider this a warning.

The place itself is cute inside, service was fine - nothing bad, nothing standout. Overall: a fine diner stop

Hard roll is apparently baked in-house, as are most (all?) of the baked goods. Warning: still cash only, and no free refills on the drinks (except for coffee and maybe unsweet ice tea). Otherwise, with friendly service and the oldest of old school Asbury Park vibes, this place is perfection.

Frank's is a quintessential New Jersey diner there to give you a satisfying weekend breakfast…read moreexperience. We walked in on a Saturday morning over Memorial Day weekend and it was entirely packed and everyone was in good spirits including the wait staff. We came in with a mild hangover, and Frank's was the perfect spot to offer all the comfort, food and coffee to jolt us back into the energy of the day. We ordered rounds of coffees and pork roll, egg, and cheeses. We also threw in orders of mac & cheese, chili fries, and potato salad, which were all incredible each and of their own. If you're looking for a place that does a New Jersey diner right and are looking for a no-frills breakfast place when visiting Asbury Park this is definitely your go to.

The waiter and waitress went far beyond expectations. I would tell anyone driving thru the area or trying to decide what to eat. To choose Dolce Fantasia. This heavenly food of awesomeness is my number one pick. The food was excellent from appetizers to dessert. The chicken meat balls awesome the three cheese pasta awesome. The presentation dynamic. The whole experience is a 15 put of 10. The waitress named Bailey is by far great. But wait each waiter added a special touch to the experience as well. Giving a straw to my son to keep him distracted while we ate dessert. The other waitress and waiters smiling as they did roll call for the dinner portion of the night. Awesome would sum up everything. Chef my family and I thank you for opening your doors and table. Keep that helmet shining. MrC

My favorite was the Copenhagen especially if you like smoked salmon-get your home fries crispy yummmmmmm! Lemon Zest Mascarpone French Toast Delishhhhh Dave's Homemade Corned Beef Hash - this I could have done away with the asparagus but overall very tasty!

This place is located on the corner and parking appears to be street parking only. I stopped by around 11:30 and was able to be seated immediately. They have bar seating which is first come first serve as well as tables throughout. Bar seating was much quicker. After about 5 mins my waitress came and took my order. Challah French Toast, Homefries and Bacon. 15/20 minutes go by and my food came. The Homefries are a good portion. They are seasoned well. The bacon was warm and crispy as well. The challah French toast was delicious. I enjoyed my meal overall. Overall this is a good place that met my expectations. The food was as expected and the portion size was good as well. They do charge a fee for using your card as shown on my receipt. A tad bit tacky to me but I understand.

Kim Marie's Eat & Drink Away in Asbury Park was a fantastic find after a day of Christmas shopping…read more I was there with my brother and his two daughters, one of whom has a dairy and egg allergy, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive to her dietary needs, which we really appreciated. I ordered the steak tip sandwich with French fries, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and very satisfying. My brother went with a salad and couldn't stop talking about how outstanding it was, which says a lot. Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful service. If you're in Asbury Park, I highly recommend stopping by Kim Marie's. We'll definitely be back.

Hopefully he's well compensated for all that hard work! Overall, if you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out.

We were seated right away on a Thursday afternoon on their front sidewalk patio. I ended up ordering the Green Machine bowl (normally vegan and gluten free) but added grilled chicken to it. It was delicious! A combo of roasted broccoli, warm lentils, parsley pesto, avocado, and marinated kale. Everything was cooked perfectly, and while this is basically something I make on rotation at home, I loved the pesto sauce and will definitely be trying to replicate that on my own. Perfect lunch that left my full and not even a little sluggish. They do have a few drinks on the menu like kombucha, cold brew, and sodas, but if you are looking for anything more than that in the coffee arena, you'll need to pop by a neighboring cafe afterwards. Service was friendly but not too fast. It was a busy day and we were in no rush, so we didn't mind. All in all, a great place for a delicious brunch.

(It's more dire over in Ocean Grove, at least Asbury has the option of longer walks for non-touristy spots).
