As others have mentioned: If you need immediate gratification/seating, this is not your place. What I will say, though, is that the food is worth the wait. I've become a fan of the Hawaiian french toast, which comes covered in fruit and coconut with a delicious brown sugar rum sauce. I've heard great things about the Huevos Rancheros and the country potatoes are pretty good. I've tried their espresso drinks and if I were rating the place on espresso, I'd have to take off a star, but I have had better-than-decent drip and French press coffees there, so I will leave it at 4-stars. read more

One of my favorite brunch places in Monmouth county. It's located right by the boardwalk in pier village which is nice. Excellent staff and food. My personal favorite is the Wilbur skillet - eggs, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, cheese and potatoes. The french toast is also a must try. Overall, highly recommend to anyone looking to have a good, tasty brunch experience read more

See all

Service here was amazing! Had dined at several locations around this area and was not impressed however this one killed it. Food was great, reasonably priced for the area, servers were so hospitable! My only regret is that we discovered it on our last morning here instead of our first! read more

We arrived and were told 15-25 minutes they would Text me. 40 minutes later my husband went in and asked what was up and the different host said now that I know you are here it will only be a few minutes. As tables flooded in to be seated the number on my phone of tables before me never went down. We used to eat here often and were looking forward to sitting down to a nice breakfast. Never happened we ended up leaving and enjoying Brennan's read more

I love this place Great food and great service, and if there is a problem it's always taken care of, I just it that it's always so cold inside lol read more

Great food! They have a lot of healthy options. They don't sell alcohol, but it didn't matter. I will definitely come back.

Great breakfast and fantastic coffee! Loved the Jersey Devil French press. Loved the skillet egg dish!

Good food slightly expensive. The downer is the wait. No matter what time we go the wait is too long. There are usually tables outside that are open but I guess they never have enough waiters to be able to staff them. Most annoying to see many open tables as we stand around! We just saw an older group just sit down at an open table while others were waiting and had waited. The hostess confronted them. They put up a fuss and stayed seated and then the hostess actually handed them menus and they got served quicker than we did after waiting 20 minutes. read more

I had breakfast here today. The food was so good. And the service was great. The place is beautiful and clean definitely worth it

I got the popeye skillet with wheat toast. It was very good. The potatoes were especially good. My wife got french toast that was also quite good. We got coffee at the bar while waiting for our table and it was terrible...almost undrinkable. I got a black iced coffee. Hard to mess up. Our server was very friendly and jovial. They were busy and he was running around and really hustling. Overall great experience. read more

The French press coffee is really good. I am never disappointed when I come to turning point. The parking can be a pain in the summer. It's usually very busy on the weekends so plan on waiting, the food is worth the wait. The servers were very friendly. Very nice location. read more

Ok, so it's hard to get behind the whole Pier Village concept - if you don't know what I'm talking about, never mind because it's way too complicated and involves lots of emotions and bitterness over the whole eminent domain concept... that being said, I LOVE the Turning Point in Little Silver. So we decided to give the new one in the atrocity known as Pier Village a shot. And since it was a Monday afternoon, we thought there would be no wait - though we knew we were cutting it close with time since we figured they closed early. We walked in and the place was cute enough. So we stood at the front waiting for somebody to notice us. And we stood while a waitress restocked tables.. And we stood while the waitress windexed the front door. And we stood while two waitresses had a conversation in front of us. Finally I said "Excuse me, are you still serving food? Can we be seated?" and the waitress who had ignored us the most said "Is it after 3?" and I said "Yeah, a couple of minutes after." She said "Sorry, we stop at 3." I started to walk out and my date said "Well, thanks for letting us stand here for 10 minutes so you could tell us you were closed. That was really nice of you." God, I love that boy. Total bunch of bitches. read more

You are crazy if you think the Turning Point is an upscale IHOP. Had the crabcake eggs benedict, fresh squeezed OJ with the Kona french press coffee. (all probably could not be found at IHOP) Everything was perfect my wife always gets the NO YOLKS ABOUT IT which is a veggie egg white omelette and a side of salsa and wheat toast. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Also they offer call ahead seating which is great if you don't want to wait or bad weather outside. We go to all of the Turning Point locations and find the food and service very consistent, read more

Fabulous food with fantastic healthy options too! Loved the food, great service, and views are great too!

What disappointment! They need help, all Starting from management it's clear to me after waiting 35 mins for a table I am able to clearly point out the following: Under average meal Understaffed Terribly managed the staff looks miserable And more people waiting to be seated than empty tables that were not cleared to flip tables. I ordered the Popeyes's skillet barely had spinach and dried mushrooms my meal came out warm. My husband ordered the blt smash the hummus was SABRA, really? Never again go to Dough mama fresh breakfast bagels made no wait! read more

Can't tell you how the food was - was quoted a 30 min wait time for a table of 2 but waited over an hour and then just left.

Food was amazing had the Lobster eggs Benedict! Chicken and waffles was also very good plus they have all types of breakfast skillets. Waitress was a little slow tho and treated me weird for being in gym clothes in the morning the table next to me had these upper class people I feel like they was treated much better then me and my party. But all and all the food was great! read more

I've been to other Turning Points, however, the Long Branch location is the best. Friendly, great atmosphere, prices are great, and the food never disappoints. I've tried their breakfast and lunch and both delicious. I highly recommend it!! read more

Went to breakfast on a Saturday morning in December. Delicious coffee, and breakfast. They get crowded, and the service is a little slow, but the meal was amazing. read more

Got on waiting list from Yelp app. Stated 20-25min wait. Checked in with hostess before scheduled time. Sat down 50 minutes after put on list. Waited 25 minutes for food that came out incorrectly, and ingredients hard to find in the dishes(bacon in the skillet, sausage and eggs in the Huevos). Very disappointing because we come often. read more

I love this place. We try to get there early before it gets crazy busy on the weekends. We love to sit outside close to the ocean. People watching here is great too. We have never been disappointed with food or service and I like how they leave the pitchers of water at the table. Large menu with interesting options and also just good solid breakfast options as well! read more

Came here specifically for the cafe section, called the TP Cafe. The decor was suggestive of something like a dedicated coffee bar so we decided to stay. I should have known something was up when I couldn't detect the aroma of brewing coffee. Unfortunately, the coffee was completely tasteless; more like hot water than coffee. My wife got a skim cappuccino that was also completely tasteless. I'm not sure how to explain completely tasteless coffee except to assume that the brew is seriously weak. Not recommended for the cafe. read more

We showed up hoping for a great brunch but were met with a roulette style waiting list. Several parties of the same number showed up and were sat almost immediately while we were left waiting. After 45 minutes we checked our position in line only to see various parties who arrived after us were 'penciled in' before us. At that point we decided it was time to look for a more accommodating situation. If you have the time to wait it might be a good place to eat... read more

Been to Long Branch, NJ (beach) many times but I stopped by to eat here for the first time yesterday. I went to the cafe section of the restaurant and ordered the "Martha's Vineyard" salad with honey mustard dressing. It was DELICIOUS! A bit pricey - $10 but worth it. The ingredients were fresh, the honey mustard sauce was the best that I've ever had and the service was fast and friendly. Conveniently located a short walk away from the part of the beach that I normally go to. I'll definitely be back! :) read more

I ate here twice over the past few days, like my previous review the first meal involved a lot of waiting(they tell you 10-15 min. but you need to double that time)Once in however service was great and the servers were attentive. The second time we made a reservation and were eternally thankful as when we arrived the place was busy as hell again. The menu is stocked with all sorts of pancakes and heavy egg dishes. Which is fine if you want to go home and nap afterwards, we were on a beach/pool vacation and not into feeling so "heavy" after breakfast. Twice we both ordered the traditional eggs which came with not so special home fries and a haphazardly buttered english muffin. The chocolate chip pancakes that the kids ordered looked delicious. My advice is call ahead, and expect to leave with a not so flattering protruding bikini belly. read more

I used to enjoy this eclectic brunch spot. It has a creative menu and lots of coffee and tea options. But the last time in the service was slow and inattentive and the food mediocre and not hot. For example, a carafe of coffee was delivered to the table, followed by a ten minute wait for the cups to drink it! I asked for a to go container and was given a small square box when the sandwich I was looking to pack was clearly twice the size. It used to be worth the wait for a table but now I will just go to Amy's. read more

Great place for breakfast in Pier Village. The Cinnamon Roll pancakes are the love child of Pancakes and a Cinnabon. Use the online wait-list to save time during busy days. read more

When around Long Branch No other place for breakfast but turning point. Service is always on point. Today in particular we were served by Kyle. He was extremely nice. Kids menu is extensive and some good options that kids like. Eggs Benedict are to die for. Comes with a side of home fries that are soft inside and crispy from outside. Tomato was ripe and eggs very fresh. I had bite of my daughters pancakes, all I can say delicious. What really impresses me is selection of their coffee. We usually get organic Costa Rica French press for two. read more

We've been here a few times and it's been consistently mediocre. The service is decent and that's a huge plus considering how busy they get. Unfortunately, the food isn't that great. The coffee is bland (they bring you a small pour-yourself-pot...good idea but poor product). The food itself was very bland. We came as a party of four and had to wait about 20 minutes before sitting. I ordered an egg dish that had no flavor at all, my wife ordered pancakes which weren't completely cooked and the other two people in our party ordered egg dishes which they said were just ok. Not a bad location and for the area it's a decent option for a quick breakfast, but expect to wait a while to get to that point. read more

The longs waits on a summer weekend are worth it for the best breakfast in New Jersey. Delicious skillets, fresh ingredients, & fluffy pancakes are the reasons I keep coming back. I've been here a number of times, each time I order something different and each time I am amazed about how delicious it is. I've never ordered anything off the lunch menu but I'm sure its good because they have high standards and they focus on consistency. By the way, their coffee is so good that I always get an extra cup to-go. read more

Has gone downhill in the past few years. English muffin tasted like popcorn, portions tiny, cant substitute anything. Only thing going for the place is location and atmosphere. read more

Customer service is awful. Young ladies with no personality at the check in. Told us 15-20 minute wait..ok. Watched 4 parties sit outside ahead of us, asked why and the snippy response was 'you didn't ask for outside'....well, I suggest you train your staff to ask the customer, outside no wait, inside 15 to 20 Minutes. Oh, another suggestion, a smile goes a long way. We've dined at this location many times - no longer. Two new places right nearby, give them a chance read more

Very good lobster BLT for lunch. Insanely long wait to sit outside but it was a nice time.

Walked out of Turning Point because yet again you approach the take out counter, they don't acknowledge you and pretend you don't exist while they check the seating chart on the other side and stare at the frothing machine while it's churning. Better service at Starbucks Drive thru which is where I'm headed read more

Terrible Service, waited way to long for a seat and noticed that the hostess decided to sit the people she is friends with first instead of the people who actually put there name down (and I'm not talking about the people who had called ahead) ! Also liked to point out the the waiters and waitresses did not look happy at their job ! If I'm going to pay that much for breakfast and or lunch at least put on a fake smile for us ! Not all locations of the turning point are like this but this put a sour taste in out mouth ! read more

Long Branch's Pier Village is expensive, but this place is relatively reasonable. The breakfast is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is very beach-y and laid-back. Try the Bandito Burrito! read more

Had Turning point in Westfield and it was good. However this location was a complete disappointment. Understanding it was Labor Day, but the service was sub par, at best. We sat outdoors and with that there are certain elements that's expected but there were three bees that kept circling our table practically in our face for 20 mins, as well as flying around other guests, one kid even got stung by a bee. There were flies flying around. Again certain things are expected when dining outdoors, but our waitress didn't even check to see if we were okay. Food was warm, ordered an array of different dishes, the majority of them were less than good. One person in our party ordered soup, the waitress didn't even hear it so we never got it. Our waitress barely checked on us after all of the food came out. She left the check and went on to tender to others. She didn't even return to collect the payment. Had to go inside and pay the bill. Finally ready to leave and the women's restroom was out of toilet paper. Basic customer service. Bad experience. Will not be going here again while I'm here. read more

Tables too close together. Orange juice is not fresh squeezed as they advertise. Benedict was ok coffee great. They need to open earlier than 730. Staff rushed. Waffle is great too. It's the only place open by design. Pricey. A good diner would crush them but it's a decent breakfast. read more

Great breakfast spot on the beach. Eggs and pancakes are the best. Good service but long waits. Call ahead to put your name on the list.

Before heading to the Shore this weekend, all I heard about was how great Turning Point was and how I had to check out this breakfast joint. I imagined the portions to be large and I was also expecting the ambiance to be nice as well. First off, I was deeply disappointed that this location did not have the crepes that the other locations served. I went in thinking all of these restaurants served the same food. Then, I ordered some type of French Toast that honestly tasted like IHOP French Toast. There was nothing special about it and the portion was pretty small. I only got 3 pieces. The service was not so great and the restaurant did not feel that clean. Next time I go to Pier Village, I am not going back here. read more
