Taylor Sams — Restaurant in Bay Head

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Wonderful New Location!

We had the most delightful brunch experience at Taylor Sam's new Bay Head location! As longtime fans of their original Brick location, we were thrilled to discover they've expanded to our neck of the woods.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with that same homestyle charm that made us fall in love with Taylor Sam's in the first place. You can really feel the care and attention that Chef Scott and Dawn put into every detail - from the scratch-made dishes to the genuinely welcoming service.

What truly sets this place apart is how incredibly family-friendly they are. The staff went above and beyond to make my kids feel welcome and comfortable. They were patient, kind, and clearly understand that families are the heart of what makes a restaurant special. It's so refreshing to find a place where parents can actually relax and enjoy their meal!

The brunch menu offers that perfect blend of comfort food with a creative twist that Taylor Sam's is known for. Everything is made from scratch with quality ingredients, and you can taste the difference in every bite.

And don't even get me started on the Hoffman's ice cream from Point Pleasant Beach - what a perfect local touch! The kids were over the moon, and honestly, so were the adults.

We can't wait for them to start serving dinner later this year. If their brunch is any indication, dinner is going to be absolutely spectacular.

Taylor Sam's Bay Head is already becoming our new family favorite spot. The combination of exceptional food, outstanding service, and genuine hospitality makes this a must-visit destination on the Jersey Shore. We'll definitely be back soon!

Highly recommend for families, couples, and anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a...

I met Ms Dawn this evening due to an unfortunate situation. The power was out in Bay Head NJ and she came up to me as I was passing by to offer free ice cream. She was worried that if the power did not come Mack on fast enough the ice cream would melt and go to waste. As I went into her shop many other people were coming into take advantage of free ice cream. I was blown away by her graceful demeanor and pleasant attitude as she said at least this allows me to do something nice for the community. I assured her I would be back when power is restored as a satisfied returned customer. Totally blown away by her class & generosity. 👍

Okay as I don’t know how to write an updated review for the same location I had to add it to my last one. I have been here several times now for breakfast, lunch, & ice cream. That said on my last visit with family a few days ago we had the most amazing waitress so far. Miss Chelsea was so patient and kind to my elder family members who struggled slightly when ordering. Being in the service industry for over 50 years I know a needle in the haystack when I see one. She gave extreme personable attention to our table and made my family feel special, attending to each of their request with such elegance and always finished with a smile. Taylor Sam’s has now become a family favorite great atmosphere, food and service as far as my experience so far to date. Thumbs up Taylor Sam’s for adding Chelsea...

We absolutely love this restaurant. We have been frequent customers of the location in Brick and were thrilled when we heard they were opening a location in Bay Head. The food is incredible! It’s consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. Whether we’re stopping in for a casual meal or celebrating something special, every dish feels like it’s prepared from the heart.

The atmosphere is exactly what you’d hope for in a neighborhood favorite: family-oriented, welcoming, and relaxed. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, and the friendly staff only make it better. Everyone here goes out of their way to make sure you’re well taken care of, and their genuine warmth is one of the big reasons we keep coming back.

Recently, the restaurant was in the spotlight for responding to a negative review with a funny TikTok video. While some people took issue with it, I thought it perfectly captured what makes this place so special. The response wasn’t mean-spirited or disrespectful—it was lighthearted and showed that they don’t take themselves too seriously. It was simply a reminder that this is an authentic, down-to-earth restaurant run by real people who love what they do.

If you’re looking for amazing food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a team who truly cares about their guests, I can’t recommend this...
