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.

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.

The bacon is to die for!! As well as the breakfast bowls and service! So many detailed touches, like the strawberry butter served with the homemade biscuits. In the summer they make the best watermelon juice combo!

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.

It was a wise person who once commented that good taste never goes out of style and so it is with that in mind this restaurant was born. A comfortable intimate place above a neighborhood bar in West End, Long Branch N.J., hopefully we have succeeded in

We were celebrating my best friend's Birthday. We hadn't booked there a table in advance and when we went there they were fully booked. We left out phone number and didn't even hope that they would call us. It was a pleasure for us to receive a cal from their manager that they already had a table available. Very good service, nice cozy atmosphere, they even congratulated my friend with a small cake and a candle.

This wildly popular brunch place which has long waits and lines on weekends is highly overrated. While my family likes the atmosphere of pier village this place is in need to greater supervision and menu honestly. For example the Atlantic tuna melt is described as being pile high wiht their special tuna salad topped by melted cheese. In reality it was nothing more than a grilled cheese sandwich with a bit of tuna spread. Four hours later my mouth is filled with the taste of excessive salt. The avocado toast looked very good while the skiletts suffered from undercooked and over salted potatoesThe mens room was filthy wiht dirty water all over the floor along wih wet towels. No one cleaned it up in the hour and a half we were there.Our server ws very pleasant

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.
