Food is amazing but I recommend you calling ahead to put your name on the list. Place gets really busy!

Our first time dining here and it was great. Walked in around 6 pm on a Saturday without reservation and really lucked out getting seated within 10 min. They told us they take reservations for parties of 4 or more. Good to know! Our server was great, extensive menu, and lots of drink options. Everyone enjoyed the thin crust pizza, sliders, wings, burgers great too. We'll definitely go back. Lots of TV screens, Knick knacks etc. lots of character :) there was quite a wait when we left at 7:30. Check it out and be patient. They are understaffed like many other restaurants. read more

service was outstanding,food was better. you must try the pork roll fries they are awesome. the deviled eggs are the best around and worth the trip. great atmosphere and plenty of of beers on tap. read more

Been here several times & the food never disappoints. Service is always with a smile but can be a little slow at times. If you like Sangria try the red sangria. One glass does the trick. Any more will require a DD to be with you :). They do get packed easily on Fri & Sat nights so either make reservations or get there before 6:30 pm. read more

Love the Miracle Pub. Very good pub food, friendly atmosphere, good beer selection. The pierogis and kielbasa are one of my favorites. The free popcorn is fun. read more

Called Friday night at 7:00 pm for a food order pickup (10 items). We were told they were too busy to handle our order. Unbelievable. Your loss was Schiano's gain. read more

We go regularly on Friday after work for dinner and a couple drinks . Almost all staff are friendly and competent. The food is always prepared well and we enjoy most of the menu. Great vibe, pub and pub food. read more

Came in with my wife to have lunch and watch the Jets game. We were initially sitting at a table and moved to the bar so that we can see the game better. In a 4 hour time period we had 3 beers each. Was told that since we closed our tab at the table and moved to the bar that they had to cut us off "Management Rules". We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but there were no seats. So once two seats opened up we ran and grabbed them. The waitress saw me grab the chairs before we closed out our tab with her. Why were we unable to order anything else to drink? You would think the waitress would have said something when we told her we were going to settle up with her and move over to the bar. read more

The Miracle Pub - French dip and pork Roll fries - Pubs Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

I've never had a bad meal at this joint. Plus free popcorn and good beer selection. For what it is, you can't beat it!

What a nice surprise! Very welcoming decor and plenty of options on the menu. The mushroom soup was as good as I have ever had! Not too thick and loaded with mushrooms... elegantly spiced with just the right combination of herbs. The steak bites were ample and tender. The open faced turkey platter was a good portion and very fresh tasting. Lots of "doggy bag" leftovers to bring home. Priced to become a weekly occurrence. The only down side is that the place is so popular that we had to wait for a parking spot... but fear not! Many of the cars were just there for the take out. Oh! I almost forgot... our server was very attentive and engaging. Wish I had a brain to remember her name. (If owner reads this, we were seated in the back corner and were enjoying our meal around 7pm on Thursday, Dec 8 and I ordered 2 Rusty Nails (not your most popular beverage ) read more

This is a cool little place. The food is good, and the breakfast special is a good deal. However, the draft beer is way overpriced at 6.15 a pint. The bartenders at our last trip there were rude AF from the jump and I really don't know why. We are very polite, cordial, laughing, etc. I really couldn't understand why the two bartenders were being rude to us and dismissive, but I ignored it until the one yelled at my boyfriend over an issue on the menu that she was wrong about and he was right about. and he never yelled, raised his voice or cursed. the manager did comp our bill which was appreciated but unnecessary. I had no problem paying it. I just don't understand the disrespect... I actually feel validated after reading all these reviews with the same problems. Do better Miracle. read more

I frequent this sports pub because the food, the staff and atmosphere are excellent. The menu is quite unique and always delicious for pub grub. Homemade soups are especially tasty. I enjoy their wedding soup, minestrone, French onion, Pasta fagioli and Clam chowder. My favorite is surf & turf includes fillet mignon steak bites with either broiled/fried scallops or shrimp. After enjoying your food and drinks, you pickup beer, wine, liquor, ice, soda and NJ Lottery Tickets in fully stocked package goods store. read more

Best food ever and great atmosphere . Local hot spot that everyone can go to and have great food . Waitress are so nice . The only thing that is kinda of annoying is that they have high tables and it's hard for short or old people to get on the chairs. Not comfortable. Still go back for the food read more

Literally never had a bad meal or bad service! Great burgers, kielbasa and regular bar fare! Go regularly! Don't let the exterior fool you ! Friendly and immaculate! No tables take a seat at the bar! Reservation for 4 or more! read more

We were just there on 09/15/2024 a party of 6 Let start with the was good as always, our waitress Christian was fantastic (we'd request for her again) 2of the couple from our party drove a distance, one and hour, and 2nd 1 1/2 hrs ( they enjoy the atmosphere and food) well we had an incident with the manager Debbie, she is not a people person and doesn't know how to speak to people she was load and rude, and even threaten to throw us out saying we were inebriated (3 weren't drinking, 2had 1beer, the other 1 glass of wine) when I tried to explain that she just got nastier This woman is in the wrong field of work, just read the other reviews given about her My opinion /advice to Mike the owner is either retrain her or replace her she's going to ruin your business read more

Well all I can say this restaurant is it. Menu is outstanding. They got whatever you're craving right on it. Because as everybody knows I'm a foodie and very picky. Liz was a great server and recommended all the yummy things I should get. I definitely will be back. These are not egg rolls I'm posting they are corn beef reuben egg rolls!! And not to forget the complimentary popcorn!! read more

Second time at this Pub. Came in with a table of 13 on Sunday morning for breakfast/brunch. We got a warm welcome from the hostess and bartender. We were seated right away and our server was friendly and attentive. Our breakfast was hearty and delicious. Thank you for your hospitality. We will certainly be back. Also want to acknowledge how clean this Pub is. As a former bar owner I know this is not an easy task from busy Saturday nights ! read more

I had a good meal here. HOWEVER the "hostest", Debbie, was horrible! I observered her completely unprofessional rantings at a group of friends who were enjoying themselves. She accused them of being intoxicated. I'm a bartender , and I can tell you that they were not intoxicated, loud or obnoxious. She may have been having a tough day, but taking it out on patrons is a "no no". read more

This is what I envision a pub to be. Reasonable pricing, friendly pub atmosphere, good beer selection, variety in the menu, good fast & friendly service. We shared an appy. It was a deep fried, maybe a Reuben kind of thing. Enjoyable! I ordered a small thin crust pizza with arugula and prosciutto, and it was very good. Our server was excellent but next time I think we'll get there earlier in order to get a seat at the bar. read more

We go to this place regularly for the last 2 years. The food is amazing! However the service is embarrassingly bad. Today was the last straw. We couldn't place an order for a long time and when we finally did it came out wrong. We tried to correct the issue and we were ignored. read more

The Miracle Pub - Bartender. - Pubs Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

Stopped in to the Miracle for the first time since Covid. Outside seating is still available and the bat is open. It was nice to see everyone. Still one of the best pubs in NJ. But. I cannot see paying $5.25 during happy hour for a Coors Light. This is just not acceptable. If I intend on grabbing food, which is always very good I will still come in. But I can pay half that price at most other locations. Eventually this is going to keep people away. read more

Good food, great specials. Solid drinks and prices. Good local atmosphere with a nice dive feel.

$18.50 for 10 wings ridiculous totally overpriced place. Had 10 wings a sandwich one beer and one soda $51 got to be kidding me never going back place is overrated food wasn't even that good. read more

Very good place and food to have a burger, sun, wrap, and a couple of beers. Good neighborhood pub with good service and food.

Good food and great service. Seafood with pasta was very tasty and a huge portion. Good food and great service. Seafood with pasta was very tasty and a huge portion. read more

This seems like a hole in the wall but when you walk inside, it's much larger than expected. I had actually come here before, but they were too packed so we had to leave. We came here on a Saturday night again, and there were a few open seats at the bar. Getting service was okay, a little bit difficult with the older gentleman, but overall pretty good. We ordered drinks and food. Drinks were standard, food pretty good as well. I ordered only 4 wings (because the description stated that they were very large) and it came with 5. And they are big. I had hoped the buffalo sauce was a little spicier but it was still okay. The fries are thick cut and fresh. My boyfriend ordered the poor boy and he stated it was mostly bread, not much shrimp. All in all an okay meal. read more

The food is great the staff is terrible. I am in town for business and I have never been ask to leave a restaurant or pub. They ask my party to leave since we had just tabbed out with a waitress since her shift was over. No deal we had just finished eating. So I paid the tab. The party of four had 3 beers. The waitress returned. And I ask if we could get another waitress she said no problem. When the waitress came she said you guys need to leave since you have paid. I need this table. Not only did this happen then I happened the time before. Two strikes and I'm never returning to this establishment. Do not waste your time. There are other places that want your business and are friendly. Heck it could be just you New Jersey people. read more

Great local bar and grill in Toms River on rt 37 a short couple minutes off Garden State Parkway. Stopped in for lunch. Had a French Onion soup and two apps, Corned Beef egg rolls and Taylor Ham Fries (Taylor Ham cut into Fry shape). Both were very good. Large menu too. Service was great, prices great and great decor of bar/liquor store. Definitely need to stop in for a meal and drinks. read more

The miracle pub is really a hidden treasure in Toms River. We were there for lunch yesterday and as always their food was absolutely delicious. I had my favorite summer salad with grilled chicken, my husband had the bang bang shrimp. The food never disappoints. The staff is so friendly. We sat at the bar and Bill and Julia waited on us, they were so nice and friendly and made us feel so comfortable. The great food and service made for a great afternoon. Been there many times and will be back many times. Thanks Kathie Fortunato read more

If you like a great Pastrami sandwich like you had from a good Jewish Deli with French Fries this is the place to get it‼ Didn't dine in, but I placed an order to-go but would definitely like to dine in soon because the pubs atmosphere seemed nice and the staff seemed friendly. read more

First time I went it was great! Good food and nice server. I was so exited to come back! Today I went back with a group of my friends. Right alway the server was in a mood but I get it. It was a Friday night. Towards the end of the night after we had the bill! My friend bought a beer from the liquor store attached. When a server came over and said you can't have that can of beer on the table. Which I didn't quite understand because it was bought at the store attached to the restaurant. But it was whatever. I tend to have to go to the bathroom a lot which is no ones business. When me and my friend tried to go to the bathroom together when a manager yelled through her office that we can't go to the bathroom together. So I just walked into the stall by myself, which I totally understood. Even though I've worked in a restaurant business for over six years, and I would never tell a customer that they've been going to the bathroom too much. when I walk out to my car My friend tells me that the manager was saying to her that I went to the bathroom like nine times. My friend got in a debate with her saying that it's none of her business how many times go to the bathroom. And are sever was laughing at my friend in the corner of the office. Right away when I found out that the manager said that I had to go back in and say something. Right away I said to the manager did you comment on how many times I was going to the bathroom. She proceeded just to say that you can't go into the bathroom with more than one person which I completely understood and I said that. but I even said to her that it's not her place to comment on how many times I go to the bathroom and I have a bladder condition. And once again, she said "you can't go in with more than one person" and I said "I understand that" once again. Then finally, she said that it's her job to keep an eye on the bathroom and what I'm doing in there . And I said to her all "I'm doing is peeing so it's your job to keep an eye on me peeing"? And she proceeded to say " have a good night". Which left me very offended and very upset considering I can't control how much I go to the bathroom. I wasn't even drinking l that night. I am also upset because the first time I was there I truly had an amazing experience. I am not a whoever leaves a tip below 20%. But today left me with no words. Not even for nothing I am studying in school of the hospitality business and I would never say that to a customer. I can't imagine you're going to the bathroom too much!! like how is that anyone's business especially if I was just going to the bathroom to pee! And I won't be surprised if the management comments on this. But me and my friends were all very respectful. and we all were in shock with those servers attitude and the way the management acted. read more

Great service and delicious food! My friend and I popped in here in on a Sunday and it was packed. The staff were super friendly and welcoming and had beers and menus in our hands in less than a minute. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and although it was mostly locals i felt right at home. We ordered sliders, the pastrami egg rolls, steak bites, bang bang shrimp and fried pickles. Everything was piping hot and in front of us in less than 10 minutes. The food was fantastic and our server got us another round of beers. I can't wait to go back! read more

Great drinks and good food for the family. Bar seating and great drinks with a huge selection of food. You won't leave hungry or thirsty nor break the bank. One of our favorite spots on 37. read more

Shortly after reviewing a few Toms River eateries' and a microbrewery, I became friends with Doug D., Elite Yelper and nicest guy in that part of NJ. Although I have never met him in person, we've complimented each other's reviews and he was kind enough to suggest that I give the Miracle Pub a try. I have driven by their Route 37 location many times and written it off as a shot & beer joint. I decided to stop there one night with my wife. Even though Doug said it was a nice place I decide to hold the door for my wife and push her in ahead of me. in case it was trouble. She didn't scream so I poked my head in to see a local sports bar, hangout kind of place. Businessmen and contractor types seated at the bar and most of the tables had residents of the nearby senior communities enjoying food in small groups. We got a seat at a high top table near the bar and a friendly waitress greeted us. She brought us drinks and we ordered two of their flatbreads. The Tuscany flatbread was very good and so large that we had to have some wrapped to go. Now I thought I would wait to write this review until I had a chance to return and try something else but my wife was in the area again with her sister and our son and needed to get something to eat. You need to realize that this is the trifecta of picky eaters. My wife suggested the Miracle Pub and they both made that reluctant facial expression. She told them to trust her and they gave it a try. The Guinness Draught and Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy calmed the beasts while they perused the menu. My son discovered "The Leprechaun Burger" which is corned beef piled on top of ground beef. He was shocked that the foremost culinary genius in the world, created this masterpiece for the Miracle Pub patrons and now he thinks it is the best place to eat, anywhere. My sister-in-law enjoyed some sliders and my wife had a good cheese steak but enjoyed impressing the other two with her excellent choice. Good food, drinks and service, twice. I highly recommend The Miracle Pub. Thanks Doug. read more

So my partner and I called early one Friday night to ask when the kitchen closed. We were told we needed to call back by 9:15pm. We called back at 8:15 pm and we're told we could not make a takeout order. If we entered the Restarant we would have not been turned away. We would of been seated and handed two menus. Whether it's a take out order or someone comes into the establishment. What is the difference? It's must be nice you can turn away business. So we went to Burger 25 instead. Oh well! read more

Deb the hostess or manager was incredibly rude. She had an attitude the second we walked in. We greeted her with smiles and she greeted us with an attitude and eye rolls. We asked to move tables and she was a complete ass hole about it. We were only getting wings and we were going to be on our way. The bar was completely packed and there were mostly all the tables open. We just wanted to sit near the wall instead of sitting right in the middle of this mess of an establishment. The server walked up on her phone and stood there without saying a word for 30 seconds and then walked away? So weird. The wings are good but they're not that good. We literally just got up and left. No thank you read more

The most unfriendly and overrated pub that I've ever patronized. Nasty manager and horrible service

The Miracle Pub is a long standing Toms River watering hole. The building from the outside doesn't look like much, but just look at how many cars are almost always in the parking lot. That will tell you whether the establishment is a popular one. They are a "dive bar" in the sense that everyone is always welcome in any way that they are. They actually always seem to have an extensive beer list. They do have craft beers on tap, which get rotated in and out. Believe it or not-- their food is good. You wouldn't expect that from a "dive bar," but it is. I have ordered the cheesesteak a few times, and it's always delicious. read more

Service is very rushed, portions are ridiculous small and beer on top is not cheap but is a cute place.
