Beach Grille — Restaurant in Long Branch

First impressions matter. We walked to grab a table for two. So after a few minutes we were sat. Now my husband and I were trying to quickly eat so we can get on the road back fo Long Island. After being sat, we were, we were completely ignored. Two other couples who sat 5 mins after us, quickly had their order taken and had coffee sent to their table immediately. We waited 25 mins just to get a glass of water and drink orders. We at this point out in our whole order because we didn’t want to wait another 25 minutes for our food order. So to make it clear, the place was not busy. The two waitresses were all over the place. I saw them asking people for their order again because they didn’t write it down. They both just seemed overwhelmed over nothing and clearly service would get a 0 if I could. The food was mediocre at most. The coffee was defiantly over the heat temperature it should have been at. Really what this comes down to the fact that the service sucks. No attention to their customers and when it came for the check, we had to ask 5 times for it. I would Not recommend this breakfast/brunch...

This restaurant is a little gem. It's not fancy but the food is delicious and the staff will make you feel like an old friend! Besides tasty breakfast items their sandwiches are delicious. They will also make what you want if they have the ingredients. I was hankering for a bacon avocado sandwich on multi grain toast. It wasn't on the menu but they did it for me. Coffee was delicious and by the time you drank half they were topping it off. Their soups are homemade and they also serve homemade cake for dessert. The decor is homey and cozy. The tables in their larger room were decked out in fall tablecloths and cute little arrangements. This has the feel of a mom and pop eats...with mostly moms and no pops! On Friday nights they serve dinner, menu changes every week but you can call that day to see what they are serving. Occasionally they have special events...at the end of this month near Halloween they are having card readers.

I am a big supporter of these kinds of neighborhood eateries. I hope this one will...

This place has it all and it's a hidden gem! Whether you're a full-timer in Long Branch or visiting, the food, ambience and staff make this a great place to go! THEY CATER AMERICAN, ITALIAN, INDIAN AND OTHER FOODS AND SERVE-UP GREAT BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNERS! The food is reasonably priced and Fran, the owner, has been in the business for 30 + years. She wants everyone to leave happy! They are open 7 am to 2 pm year round, and, starting 6/6/25, they'll be open on Friday evenings from 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm (BYOB). There's outdoor seating in two areas! Being a block from the beach, it's great because it's got a beachy, classy-yet-down-to-earth vibe! The BEST mashed potatoes and stuffed pork chops I've ever had was from this place for their evening meals! One gets a soup or salad, entree + homemade dessert! They also have all of the usual offerings! Try this place! You will NOT be disappointed! The staff are friendly and fun! They also get your order for to-go...
