My wife and I had a good time. First timers and the wait staff was super nice and attentive. Wife got a salad chicken and it was HUGE! More than enough for both of us to share with some to take home. I got a burger with sweet potato fries. Very good and moderately priced. There was live music that was also good. It was a little loud for my liking but bearable. Would go again

Stayed at Holiday Inn and had drinks and apps here. Love the atmosphere, fun bar and restaurant. Wings were meaty with delicious dry rub. Sweet potato fries very tasty. Food smelled and looked amazing. Big portions. Wings were pricey $15 for 6 large wings. Definitely recommend.

We have not been here for awhile for dinner and like the additions to the menu. Our food was delicious and the cocktails were wonderful as well. Not only did we eat here, we also went to the arcade to use up a gift card we had won.

This is my “go to” restaurant when staying at the Holiday Inn. The food is top-notch (Get the crab cakes!) and always consistent and regardless of what I ordered, it never disappointed.

Nice place. The food is always pretty good with decent prices. The service was fantastic. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff went above and beyond to help out. Family friendly. Menu changes fairly often and features some pretty good specials. In addition there is an arcade and some other activities for kids. Great experience!

First let me say that before the pandemic I used to love going to the breakfast buffet every other Sunday with great food, fresh omelets, great coffee with the flavored creamer that I love and I used to enjoy the peace and quiet on a nice Sunday breakfast. Well I recently went back a week ago. Not only were they not cooking fresh omelets but also got rid of the flavored creamers and the food was not great. On top of that the prices jumped from $12.95 to now $23.95..for what??? Not going back anytime soon..

Located inside a Holiday Inn off the highway in Manahawkin, I really was not expecting much. But wow, what a nice surprise. Atmosphere was great although the place was a little loud. Our waitress, Mary, was super nice and kept checking on us. The hot chicken sandwich, served on waffles, was more sweet than hot, but very good, and the burger my dining partner had looked amazing. The small plate shrimp with spicy sauce was another winner, lots of crunchy shrimp with a cute presentation, overflowing from a Chinese take-out box. Some the the entrees are definitely a bit too pricey, but the sandwiches and most of the small plates were reasonable for the portion size. Would definitely go back

Staff was fast and efficient never left us waiting with empty drinks the food was pretty on point we had one issue but it was quickly corrected and the beer was taken off the bill without asking….there’s also an arcade, Go-Karts and Rockwall on location. There was a band playing music seems like a good family fun spot as well as those looking for a good first date spot to go.
