Service was good and fast, because we were 2 of 4 people there. We asked the bartender, "where is everyone?" because Keansburg was a ghost town. They told us on a cloudy Tuesday it happens, but the weekends have been very full. The kitchen was closed but they served the usual fried bar food. The open to the boardwalk atmosphere was great. If you're a dedicated people watcher you will spot many species here, lol.

Brunch Review... We…read morewere a small group of 5 last weekend. I made reservations a week ahead at 11:00. Honestly if you come before 12:00 that's probably not necessary. For drinks, she had a Mimosa Flight and I chose the Hazelnut Wake-Me-Up. That had double espresso vodka, espresso, milk, maple syrup & whipped cream. Yum. :) A little strong and good. Our meals were Pork Roll Benny for her and I chose their Short Rib Hash with 2 sunny side eggs. We enjoyed them both. Our server Angela did a great job on a busy Sunday morning. Gotta mention that Half Moon is pretty big inside. Location is on the second floor. Parking is available across the street in a lot and just remember to pre pay. No dessert this time and our cost was $40 each with a tip. As always... Enjoy

Hey Burger is an unassuming place with fantastic food. I found this place looking for a good burger…read moreand decided to try it out. I'm glad I did. Their smash burger is one of the best I've ever had-- if not the best. Definitely a well put together burger, cooked just right, with great flavor. I had the black and blue and my friend had the BBQ, both were delicious. I also tried the mushroom burger and it was equally tasty. We also ordered the lemon pepper wings and they were well seasoned, tender and really good. This is a local place you can easily drive past without realizing how good the food is. I don't usually give 5 stars, but they have great food, great service, and definitely worth checking out. If you're looking for an excellent burger and a solid local meal, I highly recommend giving Hey Burger a try.

There is one table with an umbrella and the rest are out in the open. With the sun setting for dinner, we didn't mind some sunlight. Hey Burger is located inside of a tavern- when you walk in, it is a bar with some tables. We brought the menus outside and ordered. My orders included wings (8) and the smash burger. The wings were decent. They crispy. We asked for the sauce to be on the side so that we could dip it, but you can also get them in the sauce. The burger comes with fries- I got the regular fries which I loved. They were the perfect amount of crispy and cooked to perfection. The smash burger comes with pickles, onion, lettuce. I expected more from the burger because of how much people loved it, but it average to me.

Their French dip is absolutely delicious. Always friendly great service love our Renee.read more

Wow, this place is awesome!…read more For those of you in the Port Monmouth, NJ area, you need to come here. The shrimp po-boy is so good. The shrimp are fried perfectly, so big and juicy, so...so...good. Okay, on with the review. This place opened three weeks ago and is a hidden gem. They've got some Southern Staples at a great price. Try the Fried Chicken and Red Velvet Waffle, or the Shrimp Po-Boy (I've already mentioned), and the Fried Cauliflower Bites. They have daily specials, today is Barbecue Baked Chicken and Bourbon Baked Salmon. My wife had the chicken and red velvet waffles and she won't shut up about them (she keeps telling me to add that they're the best red velvet waffles she's ever had). I had the shrimp po-boy and you know how I feel about it. We also tried the mozzarella sticks (very crispy and delicious) and the arroz gandules (very good, too). I can't wait to try other items, like the Italiano and their empanadas. We will definitely be back!

Viva Margarita There…read moreare several Viva Margarita restaurants throughout New Jersey, and I've had the opportunity to visit both the Hackensack location and the one in Hazlet The consistency between the two is remarkable. From the vibrant décor and lively atmosphere to the warm, attentive service, both restaurants deliver the same high-quality experience. Most importantly, the food is outstanding. Add an excellent selection of margaritas and an impressive collection of tequilas, and you have all the ingredients for a memorable meal. The tableside guacamole is simple but very good. Since it's prepared right at your table, you can customize the spice level to your liking. The steak tampiqueña is, in my opinion, the best north of Tampico. The flank steak was tender, juicy, perfectly marinated, and expertly cooked. Served with rice, refried beans, warm tortillas, and traditional accompaniments, it was simply exceptional. The impeccable service elevated an already excellent meal into a truly enjoyable dining experience.
