Scrumptious! Home style foods made with care and served with a smile. This restaurant is worth a drive, if you don’t live locally. It is housed in a historic building/area and the entire vibe reflects it.
Specifically, we really enjoyed the Turkey Melt and the Dipper. Turkey Melt was generously portioned with juicy turkey. (Check out that slice of tomato!). The dipper was perfectly oozing cheese, without being too much. Served with a nice rye. Chips were freshly made and perfectly seasoned. My shining star? The Mushroom Barley soup! Homemade and so comforting. Freshly brewed iced tea too:)
Our server, LT, made our experience so enjoyable and fun. She is efficient and yet still takes time with each table. Ask for her when you go. Enjoy this gem!

Tried the Jersey Melt and must say that it ranks as the best pork roll sandwich that I ever ate. Kudos to the chef for treating the pork roll with the respect that it commands. Thin layers of perfectly grilled, crispy, pork roll are heaped high with just the right amount of white American cheese interspersed throughout and served on a fresh warmed brioche bun. An absolute masterpiece and must try for any Taylor Ham/Pork Roll lover. It was served with fresh hot, tasty french fries. Very nice, quaint old luncheonette, wide variety of menu choices which I hope to try someday if I can get past their unforgettable pork roll melt.

Do not let that massive chunk of lettuce and tomato fool you, the star of this epic burger was the perfectly cooked half-pound Angus beef patty! DISCLAIMER: I eat a lot of burgers. And I do mean a LOT of burgers. Like a Ron Swanson amount of burgers. This was easily one of the best burgers I’ve had in years. No exaggeration. The brioche bun was not too overpowering, the bacon was well done, and the beef patty was just spectacular. Cooked absolutely to perfection just as I ordered. I was blown away. The fries were fresh and hot and a great portion. Just, wow. Absolutely love this place! Wonderful, thoughtful decor, incredibly clean, great friendly service, decent prices. We will absolutely be back!

First off, let me start by saying this is a very cute place. The atmosphere is very nice but our waitress was horrible with attending us. She served us coffee with no creamer and appetizers with no plates, she never offered us water or take home bag for our food and there was leftover food on the floor under the table from the last customer. We told her about the food on the floor and no one came to clean it. She never came to check in on us unless it was to serve us our food or for me to literally get up to ask for her. To make it worse, our food took forever to get to us. We waited a while, and there was only one other customer there besides us. The place was pretty empty, not busy at all. Finally, after waiting so long, when our food finally arrived, there were two hairs found in our food! Though management did come and apologized for the mishap, they need to do better with their servers. If their waitress would have checked up on us periodically, our experience here would have been better.

Service is always friendly. I have certain places I like for a Greek salad. The dressing is amazing to me. I like that the chicken comes separately when I take out with pita bread. But I do wish they had grape leaves. I just can’t believe the reality that my favorite salad in most places is $20 or more, it’s iceberg lettuce lol. This place has true history it’s been around longer than I am it used to be called the hurricane house known as an ice cream shop, diner, with penny candy in a jar. They still have ice cream and the original charming wobbly stools. Definitely a jersey shore fun place

I went here for the first time with my family and first of all the food is delicious, but it absolutely doesn’t make up for the poor service. We waited nearly 50 minutes for our food which is hard with 2 small children who don’t like to sit still. Another 15 minutes for dessert order. All in all dinner took over an hour and a half. It wasn’t busy inside. Server said she was new, but maybe they should have more seasoned staff answering phones and take outs so they aren’t neglecting dine in customers. I’m honestly not sure I’ll be back because of the service. It would have been quicker to cook at home.

This is a nice and quaint little restaurant in Barnegat to get lunch. The atmosphere is nice inside and has a quaint hometown feel. The food is very good and the service is excellent as well. It is very clean and kept tidy. They have a nice selection of simple breakfast, lunch and dinner items on their menu.

The one thing I always look forward to when coming here is the coffee. Today it was weak tasting and not as good as I remember. I feel like this place is going down hill. The bacon was well and old and not tasty. They used to have specials…no specials today. Very disappointed.
**I was there on Sunday for breakfast..no specials. Perhaps the staff double brewed the coffee because it was not delicious like I remember and was weaker.

Chicken fried steak, excellent and the sausage gravy was creamy plus sage forward. Reminds me of a PA dinner with huge portions, ice parlor and quick service. Parking was easy and folks come and go quick but I can imagine gets busy wait. We came for a Sunday brunch but I heard dinners are really good too.
