Carr High Cafe — Restaurant in Keansburg

Parked out front and after trying 3 parking meters which were all broken 😜the owner (Bryan) came out and let us know that they were in fact all out of service, saw we had our puppy with us, and proceeded to bring us out a table & chairs with a big smile and warm welcome to the sidewalk front so we wouldn't have to leave him in the car while we ate! (No worries-cool breezy fall day so he would have napped after a beach run/not have melted in the car) Gluten Free options is an understatement!!! Segregated gluten free fryer so french fries ARE gluten free! Gluten free deep fried Oreos? Wait-DOUBLE STUFF?! SERIOUSLY!!! The chef/owner Bryan truly understands cross contamination and allergies so those of you who are like me-hesitant-go knowing he GETS IT!!! Amazing taste combinations-I had THE HAMPTON prepared gluten free-chicken cheese steak w/mushrooms, carmelized onion, cream sauce, provolone @ parmesan. Bubble tea was great (had mango) and are available for self prep! The menu has great selections-tough to pick!!! Keep an open mind as this is an older beachfront building that is a work in progress! Cool tee-shirts available for pre-order to send him to a special Chef competition in Dallas so if you like to support up and coming struggling businesses check out the website for more info/contact. #bestkeptsecretofthebayshore Also-crayons and paper tablecloth top so you can get your doodle on, board games AND NINTENDO SWITCH so bring your vid games! LGBTQ friendly. PEOPLE friendly. Did I mention...

Absolutely fantastic food and service! This was the first place we ate out at on our vacation to New Jersey, from Ohio, and it was a memorable one. We were greeted by the owner and he was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. It was a really unique experience as they put on Wreck it Ralph for the kids to help them get through the wait time. I was really excited to try their boba/bubble tea but didn’t know what to choose. The owner helped me choose and it was fantastic, just ask for the Ecto-cooler, if you are into that sort of thing. They also serve Smart Soda and it was delicious. All that and I am just now getting to the delicious food. I had the Cuban with Sweet Potato Fries, my wife had an original Philly CheeseSteak and the kids had salad, Mac and cheese and grilled cheese. It was all delicious, especially my sweet potato fries. Best I ever had! Honestly, as good as the food was, the conversations with the owner was really the icing on the cake. Highly recommended for locals...

I’m gonna be brutally honest. Was at the Keansburg Amusement park with the family. Not much of a variety to eat. Went to this place because it was really the only place in the area that had something for everyone. Walked and the place was empty. Only 1 person worked there. He was the owner. We sat, ordered. The owner was very nice and welcoming. Turned to my wife and said the food is either gonna be horrible or amazing.

The food was amazing!! This man puts his heart and soul into every dish he makes. I got the jerk chicken cheesesteak and it was top notch!! All my kids loved their burgers. My wife and I devoured the loaded fries!!

If you’re in Keansburg and want some amazing food this is the place to go!! And it was extremely affordable!!

If I’m ever even close to Keansburg again I will visit this place....
