    The booth and TV.
    Rita B.

    Traveling for a death in the family to New Jersey and found this little gem, recommended by the Hotel Clerk. The waitress were loud and funny, arguing what to call Taylor Ham or pork roll () and was very helpful with my gluten-free restrictions. The restaurant was quiet, but they had a tv on the game show network that we all enjoyed. The food was good! My cuz got a hot roast beef sandwich with gravy and potatoes and she gave me her salad (Greek!!!) and her broccoli. I got carver sandwich without the bread, and a pickle-but she also gave me some super fresh romaine leaves to make MY sandwich! Their cole slaw was amazing, maybe with a hint of horseradish? Super yummy. (Pay cash, it's cheaper.) Would definitely go back! -Per Rita

    This is a legit diner/ breakfast restaurant what I remember NJ diners being as a kid. In the shore area there were several choices but drove past the obvious ones on Route 35 and thanks to YELP found Sunset diner. Walk in and its a local crowd full of friendly servers and clean and ample seating Before ordering we needed almost 15 minutes to look thru the incredibly extensive menu (pages of selections) I decided on the Texas toast French toast with 2 eggs, turkey sausage and bacon. French toast egg wash was enhanced with vanilla and powdered sugar and Xtra eggy- perfect. Bacon was super crispy and the eggs fluffy. My wife had the pork roll cheese and egg sandwich on a soft roll - perfection! Service was top notch , our server was Dawn and she rounded out our great breakfast We all left full and satisfied having had a traditional diner breakfast as we enjoyed them in our youth

    Cute little diner in Ashbury park food was very good-our server was very attentive and food came out quickly. It's nice to find inexpensive breakfast.

    French dip!

    If you're looking for a place where you are welcomed by name, checked on frequently and served huge portions of house-made food, then Sunset Diner is the place for you. Whether it's the big breakfast platter, a French dip or a burger, everything is made to order and delivered by a friendly face. It's like being with family--the ones you like--and enjoying a great meal.

    Table for 9...This was our first time here for breakfast. Rosie was very pleasant and helpful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. We were pleased with our meal.

    Oh wow! This place is walking distance from Asbury. Insanely good and huge portions!. My husband had broiled fish combo stuffed with crabmeat with mashed potatoes. I had the eggplant parm. Sooooo good! BYOB! Our waitress, Sharon , had fantastic recommendations! Highly recommend!!

    Pancakes with 1 Egg and Meat Lover's Skillet
    Barry H.

    We were in the area and asked for a breakfast recommendation. Someone mentioned this place which was a short ride from where we were so we decided to give it a try. We were greeted warmly and told we could sit anywhere. We found the place deceptively larger on the inside than it looked from outside. Their menu is extensive, offering many selections to cover any and all palates. Our party of two ordered the pancakes with a single egg and the Meat Lover's Skillet. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious and the egg came as requested. The Meat Lover's Skillet was filled with meats and cheese and the eggs over easy were perfect and all tasted delicious. It was an enjoyable meal and the staff was friendly and attentive. This is certainly a place for breakfast and I'm sure other meals would be just as good as ours.

She recommended Cardinal Provisions, which had a great menu, so onward we went. It was perhaps major hubris on my end to show up at 11am and not expect a 1.5 hour wait. Well, we put our names down and took a walk to the Boardwalk. We ended up heading back a little before the 1.5 hour mark because the website where I was tracking our progress on the waitlist stopped working. We were seated at an outside table, but it was way too sunny, so I asked to be moved. They were able to accommodate us within 10-15 minutes. My mom and I opted to split two dishes, because neither of us could decide on what to order. We had the Cacio e Pepe Scrambled Eggs with breakfast sausage and garlic toast, and the Blueberry Skillet Cake with blueberry salted honey butter. First of all, our waiter did warn us that the skillet cake was huge, but we still wanted it anyways. It was, indeed, huge. But so good. Like a fluffy cake. The Cacio e Pepe eggs were phenomenal and I need to figure out how to make these at home. Service was attentive without being overbearing and we were never rushed. I think coming after 1pm is definitely the best time, since there were significantly less people waiting.

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.

Lovely hostess, great round bar seating with huge windows for people watching, and a genuinely charming and attentive bartender (Mike). We started with oysters from Newfoundland and cheese off the happy hour menu -- both great. My mom loved her lavender French 75 (a drink special), and my white wine was perfect (the name escapes me at the moment). The garlic soup deserves awards. I first had it two summers ago and still think about it -- I made my mom try it and she immediately understood my rave reviews. For entrées, her burger was cooked perfectly medium-rare, and my fish & chips absolutely hit the spot. Both came with generous portions of house-made fries and an unexpectedly addictive house honey-mustard. We had enough fries for leftovers, and I even asked for extra mustard to take home. Food, service, atmosphere, lighting, noise level -- all dialed in. A 10/10 experience!

The restaurant's rustic, Mediterranean elegance was not lost on us, however. We kept it simple and only ordered main dishes. I opted for the Tofu Scramble, which was plated with a side of Calabrian deep-fried potatoes and some sort of spicy tomatillo salsa that was studded with chickpeas. The whole dish had a lot of seasoning, but it was greasy. I tried a few of my friend's za'atar fries, and they were also very oily. She thought her Fried Chicken Sandwich was decent, though. We both felt like REYLA was a stunning restaurant with just above mediocre food. I would not be opposed to going back there, but I would not rush there either.
