My fav jersey shore brunch spot. Delicious food and a cool coffee bar. Nice brunch spot to go out with the girls, your partner or by yourself. They’re pretty busy until about noon so keep that in mind.
Hatch44 Cafe

Good for bar hopping on a Jersey night. They have food as well, go during the day for food mainly or on a weekday.
Asbury Ale House

Crazy different pizza options, all gourmet. They literally have over 40 options to choose from, the wings are good too.
The Galley Pizza & Eatery

Great breakfast/ brunch spot at the shore in downtown Bradly Beach. This spot is a local favorite, so be ready to feel apart of the town.
The Buttered Biscuit

Right on the boardwalk, Asbury Park beach. Their lobster Mac & cheese and lobster roll are delicious. Great venue for weddings and events also.
Tim McLoone's Supper Club | Asbury Park, NJ

Similar to mcloones in Asbury but this one is located in Long Branch, NJ. It’s right on the boardwalk in pier village. Their food is delicious especially the bar treats and seafood.
Rooney's Oceanfront Restaurant

Nice breakfast and brunch spot, they close at 3 pm so get there early! They also have some cool dishes, one being a huge warm cake (like a big fluffy pancake). They also have crafty coffee drinks.
Cardinal Provisions

Red Bank Spots

Red bank isn’t on the shore but is a small town in Monmouth county with a quaint downtown area filled with restaurants & other shops.

Love this place, it’s a Latin lounge with great food vibes at night. Pretty nice happy hour during the week too. Nice for bday celebrations.
Centrada

Nice farm to table restaurant. The menu changes throughout the season. I had the halibut and it was so light and flaky, so good.
Nicholas Barrel & Roost

Very good food, nice date night spot. The menu here can be a little pricey but it’s worth it. Also the decor is very nice inside.
Birravino

Another farm to table restaurant, BYOB. Great pastas and all around fresh foods. I would make a reservation at these restaurants as they do get pretty packed.
Semolina Restaurant

Another nice spot for happy hour and tacos. Their food is good overall though too for any time of the day.
Azteca Grill
