    Our Fam @ Tommy's Tavern + Tap Sea Bright
    Chris E.

    THE FOOD ---------------- + First, the menu is pretty much like any other Tommy's Tavern, so if you've been to one before, you know the tavern-style menu to expect. + Fried Calamari - Crispy, crunchy and plennnnty of it. Came with marinara and garlic aioli sauce. + Prosciutto Pineapple Flatbread - Excelllllent, crispy flatbread and a portion enough for 2 adults. Lots of flavor from the pepper bacon and prosciutto) and loved the delicious mix of other ingredients (roasted pineapple, mozzarella and hot honey). + Beer Battered Shrimp - One of the best tacos I've had in awhile! Shrimp was crunchy and delicious and portion was very generous with 3 large shrimp in each taco. + Kids Penne and Marinara with Meatball - Solid kids' penne and, once again, more than enough for 1 kid. There was 1 giant meatball in the order, which was a bittt dry, but still OK. = Kids Sliders with Fries - As expected, the sliders were well done, so expect it to be a little dry, so ramp up that ketchup usage! THE SERVICE ------------------- + Waitress was quick, courteous and accommodated every request we had. + Food arrived fairly quickly. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Verrrrry large and spacious interior to the restaurant with a large bar towards the front. + Waterfront backyard at the restaurant provides gorgeous views of the Shrewsbury River and houses across it. And, yes, you can request for a table back there! + There is plenty of outdoor seating at the front of the restaurant too. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Valet parking lot only. You MUST drop off your car when you enter the lot, but the valet is complimentary and you only tip the valet guys (if you want).

    This place is sweet. What a cool vibe. Wish I took a pic but they have a really cool outdoor patio area to eat and play games right along the water. It's a well oiled machine. The takeout section seemed very busy but efficient. We were lucky to be seated right away outside. The food overall was really good and red sangria perfect. Our server was great. Wish we lived closer I'd frequent this place often. When in Long Branch definitely check it out!!

    I liked this place! It is right across from the beach, kind service and pretty good food. We ordered way too much, but were able to pack it up and eat it throughout the week. The portions are big which is nice. You are definitely getting what you pay for! The place itself was really cute. We were sat in a big booth surrounded by different types of tvs playing all different kinds of sports! Overall I think this is a great place to go out, or take your family/friends to if you guys are trying out a new place like we were! PS: I REALLY loved the sushi sandwich. So so good. Also, the taquitos were so delicious too!

    Delicious food, welcoming staff and great atmosphere! Stopped in here for a quick lunch and was not disappointed. I got the sushi sandwich and it was fresh, delicious, and filling. My fiancee got the steak sandwich which was flavorful and cooked nicely. We also shared the loaded potato soup which was cheesy and comforting. Service was exceptional. Our waitress and the manager checked in a few times to make sure everything was to our liking. They also had great football deals which I'd love to try next time. Would definitely go back!

    I spent Sunday on the New Jersey shore in Sea Bright walking the beaches, exploring the nearby Light House and ultimately stopping in at Tommy's Tavern & Tap. The tavern dates back to the 1800's when it was once both a tavern and a boarding house. In 2014 Tommy & Yvette purchased the property and begin restoring it which included tearing it back to expose the original brick walls. After the renovation Tommy's Tavern and Tap has a rustic industrial appearance. My intention was to watch some football, engage in conversation and have a drink or two. Tommy's offers 24 rotating beers and a specialty Whiskey Bar, a backyard on the Shrewsbury river, and cornhole. Sea Bright is a 45 minute drive to my home so I skipped the Whiskey Bar and headed to a bar stool where I ordered one of their many craft beers. I also found some bar stool conversation. From 12-4pm, Tommy's offers specials on bar food like wings, personal pizzas and beer and wines. I'm not a fan of bar food so I did not order anything. Overall I liked the vibe and the day spent at Sea Bright was great.

    This place is always packed and I know why now! Had to wait about 35 minutes for a table which is expected at this place because it is always packed. When you sit you get a huge wet wipe to clean off (I like that for some reason). Ordered the nachos as an app and they were great with the chicken. Chicken was definitely seasoned appropriately. Three of ordered pizza that was coal fired and very yummy. If you are a pizza snob, like me, you have to be in the mood for it because it is a different taste compared to typical Jersey joints! It was great! My daughter ordered a shrimp sushi roll that she devoured. The wife had a chicken wrap and she liked it as well. Everyone wanted a sweet treat so we ordered the Brookie which was amazing! Prices were as expected for a prime beach location. Our server was very attentive too. We will certainly return since it is only about 25 minutes from our house (worth the drive when we get sick of our regular places).

    Tommy's Tavern and Tap is always so delightful to go too! The staff is always so polite and accommodating. The holiday decorations adds a nice ambiance, while being there. My friends and I went for drinks and a quick meal. The Peppermint Espresso Martini was the best espresso martini I have ever had! The crushed peppermint ring was the perfect touch. The wings were perfect as always. They are cooked perfectly and you can taste the char on them. I can't wait to go back!

    First time finally taking this place in since we were nearby on a locals summer Saturday night. Was pretty busy but we managed to find open seat at the bar. Service was quick to take our orders. Pretty extensive bar tavern including among things pizza and sushi? Burger was good and steak sandwich was okay. Took awhile for check attention but it's all good.

    Peach burrata flat bread Salmon salad Grilled chicken wings
    Bek M.

    Servers were very nice, clean restaurant, lots of tv's for all varieties of entertainment. Now lets get to the food, the wings grilled not fried junk were very good with caramelized onions. Whoever thought of peach burrata pesto pizza definitely a brilliant idea. Salmon salad cooked perfectly just touch of seasoning. Overall very delicious, definitely visit Tommys tavern of sea bright

    Good portions that are so small it couldn't feed an 8 year old child . Definitely won't be going back

    Marshmallow sauce
    Deanna P.

    We really like this Tommy's in Sea Bright. We were not crazy about our meals this past time, but I would go back. I had the brussel sprouts with sauce on side and a hamburger. My husband and friend's husband had the brisket sandwich. My friend had the turkey burger. My brussel sprouts were undercooked and my hamburger was average. My husband and friend's husband had the brisket sandwich and said it was ok. My friend enjoyed her turkey burger. I love the ambiance here. Especially if you sit out back. They did give me marshmallow sauce to go with my sweet potato fries which I thought was a bit strange. It did not go with the burger or the fries. The drinks were good. I would go back but try something different. It's a cool place, with lots of food choices.

Fresh crisp, flavorful and delicious dressings My friend ordered a filet and let me just add, she's a picky eater and orders her steaks medium well! It was served with roasted potatoes and green beans. I ordered the hanger steak, medium rare, it was served with ramps chimichurri and unlimited fries! The fries! Oh my! The best, ever! The hanger steak was beyond, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned. I was in heaven... And so was my friend. In lieu of bread, they serve popovers! What? Fantastic! We decided to eat in the bar room as the live music was quite good and ambience, inviting! The bartender/server, CHRIS, who is phenomenal, knew we were celebrating a birthday so he brought over complementary glasses of champagne, very sweet!

I did order a pina colada and it was delicious and you are allowed to bring your own food and snacks so definitely do that. We drove and were able to park in the lot. The lot was way more crowded than the sand was, strangely. I thought there would be way more people but it was pretty light. Lots of families so definitely family friendly. They have chairs that many people were taking and sitting on in the water. Lots of picnic tables and areas to sit at. The water is really calm. It's a bay. So you can walk pretty far out and won't be knocked over by any waves. People were playing catch and just having a great time playing in the calm and cool water. It was fun. It wasn't a bad drive from New York so I'd recommend driving if you got the time.

The menu was large and we had two options as part of a food tour I was on. I was able to try the scarpariello wings and boardwalk pizza. The wings were wood-fired with their special blend of seasoning and sauce along with cherry peppers. These were really tasty. The wings were a good size and the chicken fell right off the bone. The sauce had a slight kick to it with the cherry peppers present. The wood aspect of this dish was very noticeable too. The boardwalk pizza had house-made chorizo sausage, green pepper, onion, parmesan, Pomodoro, oregano, and red pepper flakes. This was alright. The crust was a little underdone for me, so it was a little flabby. The chorizo was the best part. I feel like jalapenos would have been a better choice of pepper here. The sauce was light and appetizing too. I also had a piece of bread that came out warm and paired nicely with the sauce from the wings. I was glad bread was provided to soak up that sauce! Will I go back? Probably.
