But last Friday, with the weather feeling…read morelike summer, hubs and I took a little day trip, and found a spot that made me want to move to Bay Head. The latte was perfectly frothy, and the farm-to-table menu had SO many things we wanted to try. After 20+ years of marriage, my husband has gotten pretty good at guessing what I'll order. He read the description of the Vicious Biscuit, "Jalapeño biscuit, creamy pimiento cheese, cauliflower doused in hot honey" and said, "That sounds horrible. But this is exactly what YOU would get." Yep. And it was SO good: creative, sweet, spicy, cheesy... basically everything I love. He ordered The Acosta- it was AMAZING. But the best part? Our server, Anabelle, gasped when we ordered because those are two of her favorites! She was so sweet and genuinely excited about the food that I felt like we'd found a kindred foodie spirit. Such a cute spot and so close to your beach. I'm def coming back.

I had one of the specials which was a chicken salad sandwich with the chicken corn chowder. Everything was so good. The chicken salad had dill in it and cranberries, so tasty. The soup was filling I took 1/2 of my sandwich home. My date had the chopped salad which looked really good. It had a lot of chicken on it and all of the other toppings. He liked his meal as well. Definitely be back if in the area.

Even…read morethough the The Food Shack closes at 2:00pm, the server behind the counter was very gracious and still took our order (and the orders of some people behind us) without complaining. We were really impressed by the location. The Food shack is located right on the beach which is the perfect way to enjoy a lunch on a Summer day in Point Pleasant. They have lots of umbrellaed outdoor seating, and some benches in the sun, so there are options for everyone. They also have some indoor seating, and the inside is adorable. We ordered a swiss grilled cheese with tomato on top, and a BLT. Each item came with pickles and a bag of chips. Each item was priced reasonably, especially considering typical Jersey Shore pricing. My grilled cheese was great. The bread/cheese/tomato ratio was perfect. The cheese was gooey, and stayed gooey even as the sandwich cooled. The bread on the grilled cheese was crispy on the outside and still soft and warm on the inside. I didn't know what to expect from a small shack on the beach, especially with something as simple as a grilled cheese, but I really enjoyed it. The BLT also had a gread tomato/bacon/lettuce/mayo ratio and wasn't too greasy. Overall I will definitely be coming back!

We were hungry so decided to go for breakfast and coffee unfortunately the coffee was a big miss for us. Watered down, not much flavor and they were out of oat milk which we usually prefer. Luckily they took care of that for us which we appreciated. Now the food. Highly recommend! I got an egg white omelette. They were out of the home fries so substituted a hash brown. One in our party is gluten free so that was a bummer to know the home fries are gluten free and she could have had them if they were in stock. She got a burrito on a gluten free wrap which she loved. We also got breakfasts sandwiches, the bacon was awesome and perfectly well done and the patty melt with a fried egg added on which our friends devoured. They also got it Billy's way with syrup and sriracha which they loved. Definitely would come back. Our server was really sweet too.

Not often does a place do as well or better than the last place when it changes hands and the previous joint was a local favorite. At the Point IMHO is one of those such spots. The menu is flat out one of the best I've seen in years! So many amazing choices from savory to sweet, creative fun names for everything, outstanding choices, tons of options for every palate. They kept some of the staples from before which is a nice hat tip to tradition but you can also tell the new chef/owner wanted to have some fun with the menu and it's a hit in my book! The food is very fresh, coffee hot and delicious, and the service is as good as it always was! Tanya is the best! The pancakes are next level, all of their omelettes I've tried have been dynamite, favorites include the French Onion Omelette, Reef & Beef and Juan in a Million. Today we had the Sunrise in Tulum Birria tacos and Country Benny (okay along with a flight of pancakes, stop judging). Everything was great! Avocado toast options are fantastic as well. Love seeing such an iconic local breakfast joint not only stay as good as it's always been but actually improve.
