Went here because our family took us here who live near by the board walk. Good place to eat! The Philly cheese steaks were phenomenal! I got the buffalo chicken cheese steaks and it was damn good! Couldn’t even tell it was chicken. Our waitress didn’t get around to us as much for us having a big party it was also fairly slow when we went. But overall good experience and great food.

Be sure to ask for Collen. Place is a great shore bar with excellent pizza. The music is fantastic, 70’s rock! Everyone very friendly. Be sure to get the cheese steak egg rolls and 24 inch pie. It’s connected to Marucas’s Pizza. Been there since 1950!

We have been going to JR’s at Easter for more than a decade, and it NEVER disappoints. The Marucca’s pies are fabulous, the mixed drinks are good, and the beer, of course, is great.
Even better, the service is fantastic! The bartender has a smile for everyone and is both attentive and helpful. The waitstaff is equally great. They are thoughtful and always in great humor.
Go to JR’s – it is totally worth it.

Don’t sleep on the best pizza I’ve ever had. While on a weekend day trip our friends suggested we stop by JR’s on the boardwalk. So glad we did. JR’s serves up pizza from Maruca’s if you prefer a sit down meal. The pizza crust is crisp but chewy like any good NY Style pizza. The sauce is sweet and slightly chunky. They pair together perfectly to make an absolutely delicious tomato pie.
We also sampled the Buffalo chicken and Philly cheesesteak hoagies. Both were hearty sandwiches with plenty of flavorful meat and veggies that were cooked well done without being overdone.

Great Saturday afternoon meeting extend family and friends for early light dinner.. food was good and had live music.. expected to be busier but a few empty tables meant faster delivery from nice server.

This is the place you expect when you come to the Jersey shore. Great cheese steak sandwich (not pictured) and a killer pizza. The service was fast and courteous. I don’t think they suspect I was from out of town and they took care of everything. I only wish I had a bigger stomach to eat more here.

Went to Seaside Hieghts for Maruca’s, which is in same spot as Jr’s. Pizza, service and atmosphere were phenomenal!!! Worth the 90 minute drive from Gloucester County. Originally went there because of Food Channel’s Man Vs Food airing. Also supposed to be favorite of Jon Bon Jovi’s. Waitress told us that many famous people have stopped there for their pizza. Understandable…thin crispy crust, flavorful sauce and delicious mozzarella equals one fine pizza!!

Still here so many years. Has moved locations a few times over the years but is still standing strong. Great cheesesteak sandwich, sometimes you’ve just got to have one or two.

“2.50 Bud / Bud Light Drafts all day EVERY DAY!” screamed the advertisement.
Walked in on a hot Saturday afternoon…..
“Sorry, draft system is down.”. 20 taps shut.
I don’t believe there is anything mechanical
that can go wrong, other than CO2 gas running out. 5.00 a bottle for same 2 beers mentioned above.
Classic bait and switch.

Horrible experience last night while trying to enjoy a family night out for pizza and fireworks. We were rudely approached by the hostess and waitress to get up from the table because we ordered a pie from the window and not from her. We offered to purchase drinks and other items but she refused. After 5 minutes of her arguing with us the gentleman behind the counter told us we were allowed to sit there. He also explained to us that Marucas makes all the food for JR’s and it wouldn’t be an issue for us to sit there for pizza. While trying to enjoy the pizza, the waitress proceed to hover over us with her arms crossed, staring at us while we eat. I find this very unprofessional of her. Also, there was no line or a single person waiting to be seated outside with four other empty tables available, so what was the point in making a paying customer feel uncomfortable, knowing you could have made a few bucks on drinks and a tip. After all of this nonsense, we still out of the kindness of our hearts, gave the waitress a tip after proceeding to carry on again and she was still unappreciative. As a local in the area, I will not be going back anytime soon.
