    burger with provolone and salad.
    April L.

    This place is an absolute gem! In my opinion their burgers are the best in New Jersey! No doubt about it and I've had them all at the Jersey Shore. Barnacle Bills, Grand Tavern, etc, This is my second time visiting and I felt compelled to write this review. The burgers are 10iz, the meat is so flavorful and juicy and they actually cook the burger the temperature you request. Nope, no overcooked burgers here. Pure perfection! You get your choice of fries or salad and let me tell you the sweet potato fries are just heavenly. Even the side salad with balsamic is delicious. It's not a fancy place more of a bar setting with some outside tables but the food and service are too notch. Our server Erin was great. Very attentive and friendly. Dan, the bartender, was great as well. I highly recommend Chubby Pickles especially their burgers. Trust me you need to try it. I live in Belmar and travel to Highlands because their burgers are The Best.

    Ok, so it starts with the fun name and go!!! We had Shwarma Wings ... WOW! Triple fried and crispy! And their Bloody Marys are made from a home-made mix and are EXCELLENT! The bartenders are super friendly and engaging. We loved it and can't wait to go back!

    One of my favorite local watering holes. Featured on Diners Drive Ins and Dives. This is a dive bar in Highlands NJ that's dank but comfy with a friendly crowd and a fun funky menu. They make tasty scratch dishes with fun appetizers and epic burgers. There's a few entrees and even a few healthy choices. This is the avocado toast burger. 10oz hand formed Patty with chipotle aioli house pico, Jack cheese on butter garlic Texas toast. The fries are just fantastic!!! I couldn't finish it but I did take about half of the behemoth burger home. Great staff and fun crowd you'll find a mixed crowd of young and old but all good people all the time. Live music and events year round. They were my pick in last years Town Bar Crawl and margarita contest. I gave 5 stars because this place is exactly what it should be. Fun friendly welcoming and entertaining!!! Great menu and probably the best fries you've ever had!!!

    Wow what a great dive bar. The food was sooo good. The tater tots were so crispy with yummy bacon. The chicken sandwich was also so flavorful with the orange and bre cheese. The service was great will definitely be coming back.

    Taco Tuesday! The best mahi taco on the planet! Three huge tacos... maybe a bit too much for one person but perfect amount to share with two people when sharing dishes. Open Mic Nights are very well run and supported. Professional PA system. Fabulous stage that comes with a full backline. Amazing talents featuring more the semi pro level to the top level local recording artist from the area. Very pleasant atmosphere and a great local hangout. Service is hospitable and quick. Great cheery bartenders. Lots of parking.

    Best Dive Bar in the Highlands area. Great wings and I'm a sucker for tots. Service was great.

    Live music and radio feed

    We rolled into Highlands New Jersey - Sea Bright - and stumbled upon The Chubby Pickle. What a great place! The service was amazing and food first class. It's an upscale "Pabst Blue Ribbon" dive bar = Perfect! Live music, cool vibe, and perfect service. Highly recommend!! Special thanks to Dan and Erin - Tell them Hello from Oregon! -- Gene & Laura -- "Right on!!"

Caught immediately after shedding, the entire crab can be eaten...shell and all. They offer an intensely sweet, rich flavor and a delicate, crispy texture when cooked). Bahr's Landing prepares this sautéed crab with capers, mushrooms, lemon & butter, mashed potatoes and vegetables. My go-to appetizer is always the Grilled Cauliflower (Topped with tomato pesto, quinoa, and wild rice blend). The crispness of the cauliflower....brushed through the surrounding ingredients.....makes this the perfect starter. Aside from enjoying the mouth-watering food, you'll also feel as if you're dining on a ship, have great views of the pier, water, and the bridge leading into Sandy Hook Beach. Don't forget to visit their gift shop and view all of the maritime decor and beautiful woodwork.

We ordered clams casino which were meh, lobster bisque had no lobster and was over salted. I ordered scallops, shrimp and crab over risotto.

My partner had the Captains dish, lobster tails were again over seasoned. His shrimp was ok. Safe your money and go somewhere else.

Adding fresh sliced jalapeños would help deliver the heat and flavor that a spicy margarita should have. Fried Calamari Appetizer - The calamari tasted like a store-bought product rather than freshly prepared. The portion was also surprisingly small, especially considering it was served with two fairly large containers of dipping sauce. Surf and Turf - The steak tenderloins were overcooked, and the shrimp were also on the overcooked side. The scallops, however, were cooked well. Overall, the dish lacked seasoning and could have benefited from more salt and flavor. Eggplant Parmesan - The pasta was undercooked, and the eggplant was sliced so thin that the breading overwhelmed the actual eggplant flavor. On a positive note, the sauce had good flavor and was the highlight of the dish. Service - Our server was friendly and pleasant, but rarely checked on our table throughout the meal. The food runners also seemed disengaged; when we thanked them, they simply stared at the table without acknowledging us. Additionally, one server's attire appeared unprofessional for the dining environment, which detracted from the overall experience. Overall, I would not recommend this place for more than bar food (Pizza, burgers, & beers).

We ordered the fish tacos, birria tacos, and kettle-style potato chips--and every plate came out looking as good as it tasted. The fish tacos were beautifully assembled, piled high with crisp, fresh slaw that added the perfect crunch to the tender, flaky fish underneath. Light, clean, and balanced. The birria tacos were the star of the table. Rich, deeply seasoned meat tucked into perfectly griddled shells, served with a savory dipping broth that takes each bite to another level. Messy in the best way possible--and completely worth it. Even the kettle-style potato chips stood out. Thick-cut, golden, and topped with just the right amount of flavor to make them more than just a side--they held their own next to the tacos. The overall experience ties everything together: polished yet relaxed atmosphere, attentive service, and dishes that clearly have intention behind them. It's the kind of place where you can tell care is put into both the food and the experience. Atlantic House isn't just a good meal--it's a spot you'll want to come back to, and one I'd recommend without hesitation.

Well, I was finally able to check it out recently with a friend, and we both immediately fell in love with the place. The bar was at the end of a long parking lot and offered several different areas. There was a tented space with picnic tables, a sand-covered lagoon with couches and firepits, a pier with loads of dining tables, a small space for their frequent live music, a giant bar, and many other lounge chairs scattered about. The bar offered a variety of beers, wines, cocktails, and even mocktails. My Aperol Spritz was robust and well-balanced. We also ordered food from Cuts & Catch, which was a food truck and grill near the entrance to the bar. Their menu supposedly changes often, but they focus on both surf and turf items. When we arrived around 7:30 pm on a Saturday evening, a majority of the menu was already sold out. In some ways, that helped ease the selection process, but it also meant that a few of the things that had appealed to us (chicken kebabs, for instance) were no longer an option. We each ended up getting an order of the Fried Fish Tacos and shared a Shrimp Cocktail. The tacos were served in portions of three. The small corn tortillas were wrapped around large pieces of crispy, flaky fish tenders and a cabbage slaw. We both thought they looked basic, but they tasted phenomenal! The raw bar dish included five jumbo shrimp with a side of cocktail sauce. The shellfish were plumb and very fresh. We were still a bit hungry after these items, especially since we had spent the day at the beach, so we also shared an order of fries for the ride home; the thin, crisp fries were perfectly salted and simply delicious. The live music and views of the sunsetting over the marina made for a lovely atmosphere, and the excellent food and drinks made the experience that much better. We cannot wait to return!

We got there and were maybe one of 4 parties, we were using a picnic table and some chairs having drinks, our kids were playing with sand toys in between us and everytime someone moved from the chair this man would come and take the chair away (started out with 2 tables & 8 chairs, then he ended up Moving a hole table and 4 chairs away) we didn't mind we just moved to the teepee and the picnic table, the security guard came over and asked us to keep the kids sand toys under the teepee said the "owner said so" , if you've been here you know that the teepee is not roomy enough for kids to play with sand toys but we just said ok, moved all the toys & went about our day, we ended up moving all our stuff and just using the teepee A little while later my 11 months old small dinosaur toy (a squishy bath toy) was outside of the teepee and this man walked over and moved it and said you need to keep the toys out of the walk way.... It was in the sand not in the walk way , I said ok no problem sorry about that and went about our day, music started playing and it got more crowded, with an older crowd, so we understood the chair and the toy situation a little more (which they could of just said , we have a band playing and expecting a lot of people and we woulda understood) so the kids were into the music and wanted to see it and went under the tent and they were dancing and watching the band, for a good amount of time, I would 100% not complain if any of the kids were being annoying (understandably I know kids can be assholes lmao) the security guard came over and said "the owner said no kids under the tent" It's usually a VERY kid friendly place and I've never been made to feel so uncomfortable, we were with a good amount of people and definitely woulda got a lot of drinks and food at some point, our kids weren't being annoying they were playing by us and watching the band. I hate how mad this made me because I usually love this place so much, I even had to ask the bartender if it was new owners because I've never experienced this before and it makes me not want to go back which sucks
