    Sausage, egg, and cheese omelette turned into quesadilla
    Tony P.

    I really wanted to like this place. It wasn't quite what I expected. It's on the corner at a traffic light, you have to be careful or you will you miss it. The door is a screen door, with a solid wooden door behind it to get in. It's kind of rustic, a small dining area with a long counter. On Sunday Dec 21st I met my ex here for a late breakfast, early lunch around noon. It was fairly busy, but I was able to sit down immediately. The staff seemed very nice, very kind. I asked the waitress what she recommended. I went with her recommendation of a build your own omelette turned into a quesadilla. She said it would be very filling. It came with diced breakfast potatoes which were decent, served very hot, the way I like it. Unfortunately they had no sour cream to go with a quesadilla, not a big deal. The problem with this dish was there was very little sausage and almost no cheese. A quesadilla should be real cheesy to hold it together that would have kept all the egg from falling out. It wasn't very filling. I had to use a lot of ketchup as glue, it kind made things worse. My ex had an avocado toast with egg and topped with greens and she chose garlic aïoli dressing. She seemed to like it. The other diners seemed happy with their meals. I saw a lot of cute beignets and breakfast bowls, and delicious looking toast. The coffee was cold, and not to my liking. The waitress did heat it up for me in the microwave, but I did not get a refill. If I'm ever in the area again or passing by at the right time, I might give it another shot and try something different on the menu.

    Lovely outdoor and brunch spot! Excellent cappuccino and food. Service was a little slow but it was busy. No trouble walking in over the holiday day weekend.

    Nice breakfast this morning for my daughter's birthday. Sat outdoors which was very pleasant. Good selection of items on the menu. My daughter had short stack of pancakes which were thin not overpowering like some hotcakes. I had the Midwest scramble which is like an open faced omelet. Always a fine breakfast.

    Used to rave about this place. New owners. New menu. Ice cold potatoes and toast. Cheese doesn't melt. Not worth the ride anymore.

We went out to eat twice while there, once for dinner and once for lunch. I will review both places using this as my intro to the reviews. For lunch on August 5, 2026 we ate at Charlie's of Bay Head. We were 4 adults and a toddler. I was surprised the ratings I saw were basically average, in the high 3's. That was not our experience. Considering my daughter had tried unsuccessfully to book a dinner reservation, which she said was true for their entire stay at the beach, was why we ended up here for lunch, and should tell you it is more popular than a mediocre location. This is a pricier spot than my other review of last night's dinner at the Wharfside, but the menu and ambiance support it. Like the night before there were cocktails and wines with lunch, though less so than we'd have had if it were dinner. The wine list and cocktail offerings were more than just decent, though not extensive. Being lunch and not dinner, the selections were lighter than a dinner would have been. There were several sandwiches from steak, to chicken, to crab cakes, and lobster rolls. Our toddler ate off the children's menu and enjoyed the mac and cheese. We also had several appetizers, including calamari, the steak egg rolls, which seemed more like a burrito than an egg roll, and king crab, which, while delicious, was not worth the money at $165/pound. It is a lovely location with waterside dining, but service was slow and why we skipped out on dessert. For those challenged by the stairs at the entrance, there is an elevator that can be accessed to bring strollers and those with handicaps up to the restaurant. This was definitely a 4, maybe a 5, but not anything lower. At least that was our experience

We placed our appetizers which arrived in a reasonable time line but we had to wait 1.5 hours for our main meal to be delivered. Way too slow and they were extremely slow this evening. Hated to have a confrontation at the dinner table but one happened and it didn't go well. Good luck and pass this place!

I've always heard good things, and I thought the food stood up to the reputation. The restaurant was packed on a Monday night, which was probably a good sign for what led to a delicious meal. I really enjoyed the roasted oysters topped with yummy breadcrumbs. My daughter enjoyed a sushi appetizer and wedge salad with blackened tuna that she claimed was delicious as well. Our other dinner partner enjoyed his halibut. I really loved the show-stopping, gigantic jumbo lump crab meat risotto. It was very filling, but super delicious. The food was rich and, in some ways, basic, but executed perfectly. I added some of the street corn and that really made things even better get this dish. You won't be disappointed. The atmosphere was busy, if not hectic. Our table was in the middle of the room, next to a large family with little kids. One was seven months old and the other was two. That seemed like a bit much for a dinner with these price points. It's not an inexpensive restaurant and certainly not a family-vibe Houlihan's. We had mixed feelings about the atmosphere, but I kind of thought it was cool--a really pretty building with some rustic charm.

Hostesses (x2 because evidently seating people is a 2 person job - although neither girl could formulate a full sentence). 8:30pm Sunday - "there are only seats at the bar; we've stopped seating outside". Management. If this is true GREAT you have some monotone bland children holding down the fort. If you want business and your staff to work - I'm sad to say they turned down a nice group of 30-50 year olds ON A MONDAY (which is huge for us). Lackluster. Lazy. Underwhelming. Find some more chipper front of house staff. Maybe anyone who looks up from their phone first and knows to say hi and welcome!

Although it wasn't very busy, service upstairs was fairly slow, and several nearby tables also seemed to be waiting a while for food or checks. For drinks, we ordered the Boardwalk Lemonade, which was sweet and refreshing, and their version of an Aperol Spritz, which had a beautiful presentation. My dad's Baked Brie Burger was delicious--the fig jam paired perfectly with it, and the waffle fries were fried to perfection. I ordered the Mr. Beautiful Burger, which tasted great at first. Unfortunately, I felt VERY sick almost immediately after eating. I can't say for certain what caused it, but since my dad didn't try my burger and felt fine after his meal, I suspect mine may not have been cooked properly. Despite that, I enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks, and overall experience. I'd definitely give this place another chance, though I'll skip the Mr. Beautiful Burger next time.

We were lucky enough to score a table right on the water, with water views and a live band. The atmosphere was fun, lively, and everything you'd hope for in a waterfront restaurant. Midway through our meal, however, a sudden rainstorm rolled in and created a bit of chaos. Everyone rushed to grab one of the limited covered tables under the tent, making the experience feel a little frantic for a while. The staff did not help figure out where to go, what to do or anything really helpful. Food-wise, the best was Mike's Signature Bang Bang Shrimp. The rice bowls were less impressive. The vegetable component was more of a slaw than the stir-fried vegetables we expected, the dishes could have used much more sauce, and the panko-crusted mahi bowl felt heavier and more fried than anticipated. We also ordered a bucket of High Noons, but there was confusion about the happy hour deal. Neither the menu nor our server could explain the bucket pricing, and when the bill arrived, it appeared we paid the same as ordering the drinks individually. That was disappointing and took away from the experience.
