The bar everyone frequents down at the shore. Great service, decent bar food and amazing vibes!

Cheesesteak egg rolls and chicken tenders were good.

Beautiful place, food was great, good selection of food and drinks. It was surprisingly packed for a chilly Monday but I’ll definitely be back again.

Excellent food. The owner or manager was snippy, but our waitress was lovely. The inside was a bit too dark, but there wasn’t enough room to accommodate all of us outside. The AC was dripping on our heads because it was a humid day. We would come back and sit outside next time.

My husband and I had our wedding welcome dinner at The Princeton this past weekend, as we have been frequenting the restaurant for the last couple of years on our vacation to Avalon. Pam, their events manager, was so wonderful to work with. As you can imagine, planning a wedding has a lot of moving pieces to it (especially when you are hosting your wedding out of state), and she made the welcome event a seamless event to plan. She even helped us choose popular menu items and dial in our menu to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions/allergies. Our guests loved the vibe of The Princeton, and the service was exceptional. Thank you, Pam & team!

4 star leaning into a 4.5, but I’m being generous because we did have excellent service out on the patio. It’s also dog friendly, for what it’s worth. And the large open sides of the restaurant mean you’ll be way more COVID safe even inside, if there isn’t enough space outside.

The food was hit and miss. A lot of food is fried in cheap oil and you should probably avoid the more classically “American” side of the menu that skews “bar”. The salads are uninspired and appetizers feel expensive based on the quality presented. It’s an extensive menu but doesn’t get interesting until the seafood section.

You’re right on the coast here in stone harbor so you should absolutely go with the seafood. It’s a quality step above everything else on their menu. If I could provide any feedback I’d say really examine pricing of the appetizers and salads and related, and look at raising the quality and sustainability of the vegetables and meats — the seafood is great by comparison, and really should be what you gravitate toward, as mentioned earlier.

Drinks are excellent and made well, would say they’re probably stronger than you’d expect so take note. Lots in our photos today.

With such an extensive menu it’s odd they only offer two deserts: chocolate peanut butter pie and crème brûlée cheesecake. Go cheesecake if you feel like it.

The glassware is good. Silverware and napkin quality are excellent. Good steel.

There are a couple better spots in the area but I think Princeton makes the top 20 pretty comfortably.

Came with a party of 5. All of us ordered something different and we all loved our food. Our service was top notch! The place had a huge menu, many beer choices and a cool interior. Can’t wait to go back! Even the bathrooms were very cool and extra clean.

Great spot sit outside and enjoy a drink or meal. The restaurant is in the shade during the afternoon and evening so, even on warmer days you could sit outside.
Only 4 stars for the food because my Manhattan cocktail was served with a Mararschino cherry. A nice restaurant like this should includeall a Luxardo cherry.

Nice open space to spend time with family and friends. Casual. Inside and outside seating. Drinks are a little pricey (but it’s Avalon) and there is a 2hr parking limit (street meters). We had finger food and drinks and had a great time sitting at the humongous and beautiful bar.

Came here for lunch on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The wait staff were Curtiss and quick, the drinks were good, and my crab cake sandwich was phenomenal. We chose to sit outside on the front patio and it was a very pleasant experience. This was my first time in the area and I am very likely to come back here next time I come to this area.

Horrible!
Bride turned away from her own after-party while 100+ guests celebrated inside, buses dropped off, and her name was on the marquee. Staff, acting like authority-wannabes with zero empathy, refused entry until someone fetched her ID. Months of planning ruined in minutes. Never here — go somewhere else.
