After two years living in the area, and driving by to see packed parking lots, we finally stopped in to have a late lunch at Miracle Pub. We were pleasantly surprised! Turkey club, bang bang shrimp, and pastrami sandwich were all really good! Cold, draft beer and an adorable, smiling waitress named Elizabeth made our outing perfect. We will definitely be going back soon.

We’ve been coming here for years. Not anymore. I never wrote a review, until tonight. This past visit on Halloween was not good. The person at the door greeting you is not very good at greeting for a start. People have bad days, I get it. No big deal. Our waitress wasn’t particularly nice either. But that wasn’t the problem. Under “chef specials” is the breaded spicy chicken sandwich. What chef? Chef Meecrow-wahv-eeh? Gordon Ramsay would’ve thrown it back at the chef in 5 seconds. Absolutely nothing about this was a chef special and before I could take a photo like I normally do, I sent it back. That’s how crap it was. I was disgusted. It looked and tasted like one of those frozen Tyson chicken patties in a bag you buy from Target, absolutely drenched and doused with crappy cole slaw. No flavor, stone cold, and some crappy fake spice on it. Thinner than the bun it was on… are you kidding? Wish I took a photo, because you have to see it to believe it. My replacement of fish and chips was somewhat good at least. The waitress didn’t seem bothered by the garbage she brought out at first and had a dumbfounded look on her face when she took it back and asked if I wanted something different. You knowingly brought out that abomination, give me a break. The parking here kinda sucks too. There’s a reason why the food is relatively inexpensive compared to other places in the area, there’s no care to it anymore. They make their money on the bar hand over fist. Two of us didn’t feel great hours afterwards either. In today’s day and age, food better be good for the prices people charge. I guess it’s just time to move on. Another favorite place, gone.

Don’t be fooled by outside appearance. Inside has great atmosphere. We tried this place because the nearby hotel restaurant where we were staying was closed and it was close by. They give you a complimentary popcorn basket when you’re seated which was nice. My margarita was good and my husband’s on tap Stella was ice cold and stayed that way while drinking. My cheeseburger was fine although I’d like it a little juicy. The coleslaw was nice and creamy and you can’t go wrong with a sour pickle. The staff and waitress were personable. It was a Monday night and it was packed with people eating and drinking.

Miracle Pub is one of those rare places that just gets it right—every single time. The food is outstanding. In all the years I’ve gone there, I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad meal. Not once. That kind of consistency doesn’t happen by accident.
They’ve got a great selection of beers on tap, and it doesn’t matter where you sit—bar, high top, or low top—you’re going to get top-tier service. The waitstaff is professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly, and the bartenders are next-level awesome. Welcoming, knowledgeable, and always on their game.
I’ve been going to Miracle Pub on and off for about 10 years, with a couple of years in between when I couldn’t make it due to an injury. Unfortunately, I’m no longer able to go now, which honestly stings more than it should. This place isn’t just a bar and restaurant—it’s a comfort zone, a reliable win, and a spot I truly loved spending time in.
I’ll definitely miss it. If you’re lucky enough to be able to go, don’t take it for granted. Miracle Pub is the real deal.

For a place that has an extensive menu, it should stick with the simple things like burgers.
My date ordered a Roast Beef sandwich after she asked if it was “Real ” Roast beef or “Cold Cuts”. They told her ” Real”. It was not. When she questioned it, they told her, we didn’t say it was real. Really? We also ordered Garlic Pasrmesan wings, they were good. We also ordered the Naples Marguerita Pizza. OMG, it was definitely frozen pizza- Horrible. Combined with the parking lot full of Pot holes, I don’t know why anyone would come here. We are one and done. Better off staying home and cooking than spending money here.

Ordered food to go. Ordered the stack (burger) medium rare. Unfortunately it was well done- not even medium. Miracle Pub is supposed to be known for their burgers- well it was like eating shoe leather. The Stack is supposed to have BBQ sauce- well it was invisible. Also had the bang bang shrimp with fried shrimp. The shrimp was good needed more sauce. The sauce was pretty much non existent. The deviled eggs with bacon and jalapeño were as always – fantastic.

What an awesome place to have a meal or a drink. Ample outdoor seating decent dining room inside. The waitresses were friendly and helpful. Decent draft beer selection. The food is amazing. We had the fried pickles and pork roll fries and they were great. I had the kielbasa and pierogis for lunch and they paired well together. Will definitely be back.

One of the best neighborhood bars in toms River. Very family oriented, the food is amazing, service is great and friendly, and always an awesome place to watch a game. Tons of TVs. And lots of memorabilia to look at on the walls. Great atmosphere.
