I have passed this place so many times on my way to Sandy Hook and finally got the chance to try it. I was really in the mood for a fish entree and the grouper sandwich did not disappoint. My Mom, son and I went for a later lunch and sat outside on the patio overlooking Sandy Hook. Since it is right on the highway you would think noise from cars would be too much but it was not. They had music playing outside and the seating was comfortable. I didn't even feel like we were sitting so close to the highway. The view of the ocean on a beautiful day just makes the experience even better. I had the grouper sandwich on a roll. There was choice of having it blackened or just plain fried. The fish was cooked perfectly. It was a large piece of fish and the roll did not overtake the fish. My sons slider kids meal was also well cooked and the two small slider patties came on a small hoagie roll cut in half that was very soft for him to eat it. After spending some time enjoying the sights of Sandy Hook this restaurant is the perfect stop to get a bite to eat on your drive out. I will definitely be back.

Wonderful atmosphere, service and food! The lobster rolls were as great as promised, and the red sangria was very refreshing! Perfect place to recoup and grab a bite after a day at the beach!

Great food and atmosphere lots of locals go there and that's because the food is good and prices are reasonable. The grilled chicken sandwich is one of the best I ever had . The burgers are great a the service is great. A must stop on your way home from Sandy Hook or Sea Bright beaches. Nice views an outside dining on weather permitting days. Wort the stop!!

Loved this place! Generous drinks ! Amazing hot buttered lobster rolls for under $30. They serve you two! Attentive waitstaff... will definitely be back

Never heard of this place but then again this is very far out of the way for me. This place is packed, right in front of the water and 30 seconds from Sandy hook. The overall ambiance was great. Somehow we were seated right away inside while outside there was a significant wait. Ordered the flounder sandwich and some wings. The wings were nicely cooked, perhaps could have used a bit more crispiness and the sauce was vinegar heavy which seems to be the way my SO likes it. The flounder sandwich was not bad but I felt it was a bit bland. But I am not fish expert. A bit more of fries would have been nice too but again over all it was a nice dinner with a beer!

This place seems to get packed quickly, with most people wanting to sit outside. We didn't want to wait so we were seated right away inside. Service was prompt and friendly. We ordered a beer, Buffalo wings and the flounder sandwich. The Buffalo wings were saucy and crispy and just like how I remember them in buffalo--very vinegary. The flounder sandwich was slightly bland, but helped by a splash of the lemon wedge. A little light on the side of fries. All in all, a pretty good place.

Fresh food, fairly priced, ice cold beer, water view-what else can you expect from a Jersey shore joint? Beefy burgers.
