    Our first-time cruise on The River Queen last Tuesday (8/17). The River Queen was sailing out of…read morePoint Pleasant NJ that day. A very nice calming cruise along the Manasquan River. The riverboat is an old-fashioned paddleboat, straight out a Mississippi River setting. Our Captain met us as we approached the dock. He was very friendly & had a great sense of humor. He gave us some tips & fun facts about the riverboat & made the guests feel very comfortable. The weather was perfect, as we cruised along the calm inland waters of the Manasquan River, with unique perspectives of the beautiful waters and picturesque homes of the Manasquan River. A cash bar was also offered serving wine, beer, soda & juice. They offer other tours, such as a lunch cruise, a Pasta & Fireworks, as well as the 90-minute cruise (which we took). It was a lot of fun & we are looking to do the Pasta & Fireworks cruise next time.

From the early planning stages to the parties end, it was fantastic to work with this staff. Everyone was attentive, and available for my party to be a success. The weather was perfect and the food was plentiful and delicious. Thank you River Queen for making my Dads birthday and cruise an amazing memory.

    I recently went to Flaming Grill & Supreme Buffet and honestly, it was such a solid food…read moreexperience, especially compared to my last visit to Umi Hotpot Sushi & Seafood Buffet. Sometimes you really just have to stick with the basics. The seafood here was fresh, which made all the difference. The seafood boil was flavorful and actually tasted like it was made right, not just sitting out. And the crabs? Fresh, seasoned well, and worth going back up for more. Everything felt consistent and satisfying, not overly fancy, just good food done right. After trying newer buffet spots that try to do too much, this reminded me that simple, fresh, and well-prepared always wins. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I want a reliable, no-miss buffet experience.

    I've been consistently impressed with the amount of semi-fresh seafood options at Flaming Grill…read more Just take a look at the plate I started off with last time I went: clams on the half shell, shell-on shrimp cocktail, and a squid salad. I admittedly tried every type of sushi roll and came away liking them all. As far as a fish buffet, Flaming Grill is surprisingly adequate and fills in a void that's missing post-Covid. I believe that they're one of the last traditional buffets left in the state, and possibly even on the East Coast. However, the meat options are very much so hit-or-miss. I still find the beef brisket and any types of beef dishes to be unpalatable. The Orange Chicken-type dishes also seem to be packaged, processed and probably reheated. The chicken wings have a yellow sheen, but they've been like this every time I've visited so it's just the product they're using. They do have a hibachi grill in the back, which is their saving grace as they will prepare all types of meats fresh for patrons. The desserts are all okay too, with the amount of fresh fruit available being another saving grace. I found the soft-serve ice cream out of the machine in the back to be unpalatable, but they also have packaged ice creams available. Service is fine, clearing dishes occasionally and asking about refills, and the atmosphere is slightly dingy but still modern enough for the buffet. I'm surprised at how much foot traffic they get, but I suppose that's the only way to sustain a buffet especially at a sub-$20 price point. I'm grateful to have Flaming Grlll as an option for a solid buffet in town, and it can be possible to put together a couple of relatively healthy plates.
