Jack's Goal Line Stand

Reviewed By Ryan J

Though I was born and raised in Long Branch, I have not been here for 20 years. My brother and sister-in-law suggested this place for dinner. At first we hesitated because the music was so loud, but we found a less noisy table toward the back.Our waiter was super, really super!! First he informed us of the tremendous number of beers on tap, I believe there are more than 50. Then he made suggestions based on our tastes. He was right on.The food was great, the service was great, what more could you ask for?

My wife and I have now eaten here several times. The room is certainly stylish, and the menu eclectic, but the food needs some work. We tarted with an IPA, and it was not to my taste. Not hoppy enough. We also started with a mezzo plate with hummus, smoked eggplant dip, pickled vegetables, olives and flatbread. The components were fine, but the presentation was stylish but very awkward to eat. The olives and pickled vegetables were piled on top of the two dips so that you had to push them out of the way to get at the dips. Pushing them off of the hummus pushed them onto the eggplant dip and vice verse. Very awkward. I had the tempura vegetables. The coating on the vegetables was thin and not adhered to the vegetables so it fell off when you went to eat the. The Yakatori (?) sauce accompanying them was very thin and did not have much flavor. My wife had the mussels and frites and declared them “fine”. Nuff said, she loves mussels.

A group of us were looking to dine where we could also hear each other. This place served our needs, offered large variety and generous portions of moderately priced delicious meals. My only complaint is the waitress who is without emotion or feeling. A resting mean face does not enhance the diners experience.

This is fantastic wine bar with wonderful offerings, knowledgeable staff and a comfortable yet classy setting. They have "small plates" of excellent, innovative food.

Nice little bar in pier village. It's hit or miss on what type of crowd comes in there at night. Their bar food menu is really good and the drinks are priced just right.

Textbook definition of mediocre restaurant. Not horrible but just nothing stands out at all. Anyone who says otherwise has a very bland palate. Took photos but nothing interesting enough to post. However, ambiance and location is nice and I guess that's why you come.

Heeding recommendations of friends, we tried this local spot for lunch. Large bar surrounded by tables. The lunch menu was interesting. Meals off the lunch menu included a cup of soup, coffee and a scoop of frozen yogurt. Portions were way above normal size! Tried the pulled pork sandwich with Manhattan clam chowder. Above average. Nice selection of beers on tap. Prices were reasonable. Our group of seven posed no problems to our server who was personable and helpful.

We ate in the bar area...there is also a separate dining room in a banquet next to the large bar area...tried a couple of different items and service was good, wait for food was not long and it was okay...nothing to write home about, just about what you'd expect at a sports bar.Don't think you'd be dissappointed if you're looking for a casual meal, but don't expect you'll be raving to your friends about how they have to go there.I'd go back again, but would also rather try someplace new if I was in the area.

McLoone's Pier House

Reviewed By Loouis S

My wife and I have tried to eat here many times. But the wait was too long. We put our name in indoors (1.5 hour wait) and also outdoor area, 45 minutes. The outdoor cleared in 30 minutes. A smaller menu, pricy to say the least. Service was not the best, had to ask twice for napkins and silverware. Food selections was good. The seats on the boardwalk and the view of the beach was very nice. So bottom line: Pricey, so-so service, food okay, but great view.

Wanted some seafood for my birthday lunch with family. Ordered raw clams, flavored oysters, octopus salad, peel and eat shrimp, stuffed shrimp and a landlubber sandwich of chicken parm. All the food was outstanding. It has been a while since we visited Rooney;s and it was an unexpected surprise.Sunday was a beautiful day and we sat at an open window enjoying the atmosphere. Everything, service, ambiance, value, etc. worked out so well. Will be sure to visit sooner rather than later.
