Service is always friendly. I have certain places I like for a Greek salad. The dressing is amazing to me. I like that the chicken comes separately when I take out with pita bread. But I do wish they had grape leaves. I just can't believe the reality that my favorite salad in most places is $20 or more, it's iceberg lettuce lol. This place has true history it's been around longer than I am it used to be called the hurricane house known as an ice cream shop, diner, with penny candy in a jar. They still have ice cream and the original charming wobbly stools. Definitely a jersey shore fun place. read more

My wife and I split the club sandwich with chicken salad. The portion was huge once we saw it on another table which is why we decided to split it. It also came with a side of fries. The sandwich was good, but lacked some seasoning. Service was pretty good. Ended with a "small" cup of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream which was not only huge, but delicious. read more

Jenneys had really changed under the new management! Make sure to check the pricing before ordering $4,75 soda how crazy when it costs them penneys! I'm soo disappointed we decided to order from another place! read more

What a amazing place. Very cute inside, but the real bragging point is the food. We went in for a "early bird special" but everything was absolutely phenomenal. First, we shared a pierogi appetizer, which was the cute little pierogies with fried onions and sour cream. It was a huge portion. My wife had chicken with the light sauce, wild rice, and freshly grilled vegetables. I had fish and chips and they actually had malt vinegar! We topped off the meal with some of their specialty ice cream. It was really a special day. The waitress was delightful and everybody was super helpful and kind. read more

Food is ok The place really needs a good cleaning The doors, windows and mirrors hadn't been cleaned. The entrance was dirty, which is your first impression. We have been here many times before but waited months before we came back because the food wasn't that good. I doubt if we'll ever go back. Some gluten free items but not impressed. And the service was slow. read more

We love this place, great friendly service and great food especially for Lunch or Brunch

A hidden locals spots with a menu of lots of items with great portions sizes. There's a burger that will bust your gut. There are always ice cream choices for dessert, too. But.. the appetizers failed horribly. The mozzarella sticks were mediocre. There were two cooked together, which meant the batter inside never cooked and it was wet coating... the cook should know better that they need to tear them apart from the freezer before frying them. The pierogies were the driest I've ever seen and tasted. And the grilled onions were even drier.. maybe boiled. I asked for more to moistened those puffs up. Whoa, epic fail... maybe they were air fried or baked. I took them home to redo them. Quaint place, slow service, visit for the nostalgia. read more

We were so excited to find this hidden gem. It is a cute old school ice cream parlor feel restaurant that has breakfast, lunch and dinner and let's not forget the ice cream offering. We stopped in for lunch. We ordered the Mediterranean wrap, Italian panini and then to start we had a cup of French onion soup and the soup of the day which was chicken and rice. All was delicious. We are excited to go back for breakfast. Prices were reasonable but bring case so that you don't get the 1% credit card fee that many places started to do unfortunately. Wait staff was very friendly and establishment was clean. read more

Ahhh what to say about everyone's beloved Sweet Jennys ? Well their ice cream is amazing ! The service is phenomenal for the most part in the summer anyway when I've been ( mostly teenagers) and it's busy as heck and you may have to wait. It can be a bit noisy but it's a diner what do you expect ?! The food for me is a little heavy but they have a little of everything and their plate sizes are big and I enjoy that. They also are a bit pricier than other diners in the area but I'm sure that's because of their " location " in the downtown Barnegat area spot they snagged. read more

Today, my husband and I along with our two friends had dinner. Haley was our waitress. She was an absolute pleasure, helpful, pleasant and courteous. All four of us had a different dish, and everyone loved and raved about their dinner. Looking forward to returning. Highly recommend Sweet Jenny's restaurant. We all give it five stars.

Food is good and the service is wonderful. Will definitely go back! Turkey dinner is very good

HORRIBLE SERVICE FROM HOSTESS AND SERVERS!!! I used to go to the Og Sweet Jenny's as a little girl. I brought a friend from out of town here and was really excited and explaining the lore, we were seated right before a rush of people came in. I'd want to say 2 minutes before, I even helped an old man pull his wife's wheel chair into the building. Then several groups of people came in. I figured they were a bit busy but ended up waiting 10+ minutes (not having even been greeted after the hostess told us we could sit). Not a hi, sorry I'll be right with you, or just some complementary placement waters. None of the servers greeted us. I watched a servers WALK PAST our table to go to a new one that had a group of 6, all who walked in after us. By the time she would've been done with that tables order and gotten to us another 5-10 minutes would have gone by so we decided to leave and go to ihop. This was just rude and unprofessional on all ends. 2 servers and a hostess and not one person thought to just check in and say that someone will be with us shortly? The hostess made eye contact with me and my friend MULTIPLE TIMES, and didn't think to just offer to grab our drinks? I'm not upset I wasn't seen fast, I'm upset at the complete disregard of our presence. The hostess was staring at us and didn't do anything like what??? The servers looked at us and walked past us without an acknowledgment, like huh???? again, I understand it got very busy very fast. But a quick acknowledgement would have gone a long ass way. Retrain ur staff or something cuz that should be embarrassing as hell as an owner. read more

This is a very quaint place in the heart of Barnegat Twp. Sweet Jenny is no longer with us and her family sold it a Joe, who has had the place a few years, so I'm told by my server, Alyssa. Joe is keeping the place well run and Jenny is smiling from above. I had the French toast with almonds and strawberries. The almonds were not toasted and the strawberries were not of the fresh variety. I did eat my whole order, but it was a tad too sweet for me. Too carbed out. Maybe I ordered the wrong item. The place seems nice and clean, a lot of local history on the walls. The ice cream menu looks tempting, but I declined. These are the kind of meals that you have to sleep it off afterwards, but I declined that too. See my picture for the Wall of Shame they have there. This is a breakfast and lunch place, though they close at 9 pm. So I feel it's Not a din din spot. read more

Good food and prices are very reasonable. Will return for lunch or dinner next time in the area.

Loved this place for over twenty years, serving staff and kitchen always bring their A game.

Live there ice cream taste great they make all there own stuff really good eat there all the time

Cute cafe with great food. Serves breakfast until the afternoon which was great since we arrived around 12:45. We stopped here on our way home from AC. Plenty of parking in the lot across the street. Welcoming staff and quick service. Had the Country Benedict and Bloomsburg Benedict. Both were very good. Prices are comparable to other cafes. And a lot more reasonable than breakfast in AC! read more

Not sure what may have happened here. My favorites are always the soups. The last 2 times they looked great, nice and hot as requested... But ... totally devoid of flavor. Good service. read more

Very cute place. OK service as our waiter could have been a little more attentive. I ordered the house burger and am still trying to figure out why the bacon was presented as a side dish rather than cooked together with the cheese, onions, and meat. The place is small and appears to be very popular and filled up while we were there. My friends are locals and go there often. read more

Food was great had the meatloaf tower, yes I saw it on the menu and I had to try it. It's definitely worth the price for the food, and you have to get the mozzarella sticks super stretchy cheese. The veggies is a bit lacking in the temperature and the salt department though. Service was fantastic we had a waitress who was super nice and efficient. read more

Really good local place. They renovated a bit during the ridiculousness (2020). The place looks very nice and clean. I brought the family, we got a couple appetizers to warm up. The Boardwalk Bites are fried cheddar & American cheese balls. They were tasty with the tangy honey mustard sauce. Also grabbed the teriyaki boneless wings. They were very good, the sauce had a very good pineapple taste to it. For dinner I got the Maggie's Meatloaf Tower. It was a nice size plate. A nice delicious thick piece of meatloaf, with an onion ring, a mound of bacon, melted cheddar and covered in beef gravy with mashed potatoes and veggies. It was honestly more than I could finish. The food here is very good and the portions are huge. Great local place. read more

This review is for the appetizers alone. We came here for a quick bite to eat and ordered appetizers and a kid's pizza. When the food arrived we knew instantly that it was going to be trash. The shrimp were soggy and terrible. The boneless chicken bites were just cut up pieces of chicken tenders. The spring rolls were super small and filled with almost nothing. The corn Nuggets tasted cheap and the sauce that came with it was terrible. The only half-decent item that was ordered was the kid's pizza. The way they advertise this small quaint place does not match what they deliver. I doubt I'll be back for a main meal because they can't even get appetizers right. read more

First time trying this place. Stopped in for breakfast. Wasn't impressed having to fish through with my pork roll and bacon omelette to get the burnt pieces of bacon out. There was burnt bits in the potatoes but they smelled like old grease so didn't bother with them. Service was good and earned them 2 stars. Won't be back. read more

First time here for late evening dinner. It's a nice, family-owned local restaurant. The employees are friendly, & it's a casual, comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant is well lit, but can still be intimate if you choose a booth, which sit around the perimeter of the interior. The menu is varied, with an assortment of poultry, meat, & veg options. They also have home-made ice cream, which I hear is delicious, but I was too full, which was directly related to the portion size. I feel, you get your money's worth here. Not that it's expensive, it's about the middle of the road price range, but it's worth it. If you're looking for a nice place to eat, which also supports the local economy & not some faceless chain, Sweet Jenny's is the place. I'm looking forward to going back, soon.

Great little gem in a nice antique area. Good breakfast deserts and service. Never tried lunch but I am sure it's good. My suggestion: use that cool ice cream window during the winters; serving hot coffee hot chocolate and hot soups. People can stroll the antique area or even walk to the dock with hot walking food. I noticed many dog walkers and they would love this. I know I would! I moved five minutes away. Can't wait to get pancakes tomorrow! read more

I went there today and was seated there was 2 other groups at tables getting waited on we sat there for over 25 minutes with absolutely 0 people waiting on us or helping us they kept looking at us yet nobody came over to help us waitress was texting and helping everyone else but us I was very excited to eat here and I was very disappointed by the poor service considering we went far out of our way to come here. read more

9-23-18 Hubby ordered Delicious cheez-steak w/ onions & mushrooms. My 2 large cod fillets, w/ fried shrimp & French fries were tasty. Ashley was our server;?she was friendly, patient, & attentive. We were quite full & had to skip their fabulous 2-3 BIG dip Sundaes. We eat here at least twice a month. Clean, neat, not noisy, delicious & tasty offerings & staff very attentive.

Good place to eat - like a diner with less choices. It's very cute inside and the food was cooked well and fresh.

You absolutely cannot go wrong at Sweet Jenny's. It's not possible. Their breakfast lunch and dinners are all 10/10. The diversity of the menu is unmatched to any other replace nearby, and they still nail every dish. Best of all? Most fairly priced food in town, and that's a fact. A wholesome aesthetic in house with an incredible staff. It's also nice they offer some pretty great ice cream too! Never once had a bad experience. I'm also a person who has to try something new every time, and there hasn't been a dish I wouldn't order again yet. Very family friendly. Give this local restaurant a try at any time and I promise you'll be back read more
