We had a family celebration at the Beach Tavern in Monmouth Beach and were completely satisfied with the way it was handled from the planning to the menu selection. The room was fine, the service was excellent and the food was outstanding. I recommend the Filet Menon as one of the options. This review was an honest review by a real customer. read more

Food was good but for the prices, the portions were very small. Need to have your lunch menu for weekends. Service was not great.

Awful experience!! Waited 40 minutes for a lukewarm tuna sandwich, roll was subpar. I asked for the manager and her answer, it will take longer in the summer time. This was Saturday in April at 3:00 in the afternoon. Don't come here read more

Another fantastic spot on the water down the Jersey Shore. It was a bit hot in the sun but the server helped us out with an umbrella which made all the difference. Delicious food and great service with a sunset to end the night - can't beat it! read more

Beach Tavern - New American Near Me - Monmouth Beach, New Jersey

Came here on Saturday and we sat in the bar area. They had four different menus that you could order from. We chose to do the happy hour they had a variety of cocktails beer and food for different price ranges. We also ordered off the weekly lunch menu and regular menu. I had the shark attack and it was delicious very limey if you are into that thing. Our bartender was also our server so it was a little slower service but he was attentive and friendly he also made a great drink. I ordered the clam chowder its $16 but well worth the price at least 3 people could have eaten it. The mussels were a good size for a happy hour and im Assuming for the regular menu it would be bigger. My husband loved the steak sandwich and for $24 thats a good deal. We will come back for the lunch again and would like to try it for dinner! read more

Had lunch with 5 guests. So much wrong from the lobster roll filled with tiny chopped up pieces, another friend clams linguine, old clams chewy had to spit them out. We could of sent all the dishes back , most low quality of food of everything. The worst thing was that night myself and a friend both got food poisoning from sushi tacos. I'm writing this to be aware of the quality of the food here.. I will never go back. The cocktails were good , actually the only thing that was sorry to say. Plus our server once he put the food down we never saw him again .... Until the Bill came . I wish I took a picture of the food, but I did not want to embarrass my guess, plus waiter never showed back up.... I called the restaurant. He blamed it on a virus going around.. sometimes you just have to laugh at these restaurants making up excuses for bad food read more

my son and I visited beach tavern for late happy hour and sushi night. A total 10!!! We had the wonderful individual Liz at the bar who was truly amazing.The food was amazing and service to notch. We promised Liz ( fondue ) we will be back over and over again. Thank you for an incredible experience read more

I had a burger at beach tavern and have been sick all night and day today with vomiting and gastrointestinal pain.

We loved Beach Tavern! This place is really neat and a little upscale. The patio area is tropical and comfortable. The staff are exquisite and very attentive. The menu is outstanding and well the bar staff are excellent. This is our go to location for an outdoor nautical experience. read more

Our waiter, German, was hilarious, nice, and attentive. He had us laughing from the moment we sat down. The food was delicious and the view was beautiful. You have to place your entire order at once because they clear the table and refresh your silverware in between courses. I loved the truffle whipped ricotta dip, it was unique & creamy. The decor is beach chic, with a modern organic feel. It was my first time here and overall had a great experience. There are menu specials every night besides Friday and Saturday. I will be back for $30 Monday prime rib night. All sushi rolls are over $22, which is a little expensive in my opinion. read more

We ate here two weeks ago. We were a party of six. Had a wonderful hostess who sat us indoors without a reservation. Ordered apps and drinks which were fine. Then only five of six entrees were delivered to the table. One person found the waitress after 10 minutes. Another ten minutes came and went and we told the manager. Meal was finally delivered after other five people were completely finished eating. Asked for compensation and was offered a glass of wine and not the free entree!! Wrote two emails to the manager about this and never heard anything back!! This was HORRIBLE customer service and we were embarrassed in front of out of town guests! We should have been offered immediate compensation without having to ask for it and it should have been more than a glass of wine! read more

We have been here a few times before. Great atmosphere. Food is always good though pricey for what's offered. For the price, we thought that the Ocean Roll ($24) sushi would be bigger but it wasn't. It would usually be a $12-$13 roll at a sushi restaurant. We would have ordered 2 if we had known it's size. Tonight, we figured we would celebrate our anniversary with one of our kids. Service was not as good as before as we received the sushi without soy sauce or chopsticks, had to wait a long time for a drink refills, and didn't get some of the things that we had asked for. It's still a great place for a drink or for a date, but it seems to have changed slightly with its service. read more

Calamari, yum but i would request the sauce on the side; great selection of easy and west coast oysters; enjoyed the grilled pulpo; and my cheddar burger with just the right kind of crispy fries. And it was a beautiful Saturday so there was live music. Nice touch! read more

THEY DONT HAVE BACK UP GENERATORS!!! They lost power so couldn't pay our bill at the end of the night because of this and wanted us to go out of our way to drive to an ATM. Manager, she is rude and is horrible under pressure and was yelling at customers!! Hostess are miserable and rude! Our waitress was really nice. Their cocktails are premade so they weren't all that. Food wasn't all that. Seems like that's also premade and put in a hot box. Oysters were fishy! Their lump crab meat Louie is basically tuna fish. I was NOT impressed!!! read more

First I like to say remember where you are Monmouth county on the water. The location has great views of the river and marina. The outdoor dining has a great setting but if you go during the day it's hot with very little shade I recommend early evening. The drink menus are awesome with a great varieties of cocktails but again remember where you are when you order your meal two of us had lunch and the bill was 277 and we did not order a lot stay away from the seafood platter. But all in all is a very beautiful outdoor dining experience. read more

Food is good but far overpriced for the quality. They try to seem posh but it's standard. Happy hour times are not published correctly on the website and no food allowed at the bar or high tops outside. Was nice once but this was the last time. read more

High prices for average food. Beautiful place with average service and extremely noisy. Outdoor dining during nice weather is great except for extremely loud bands or DJ. Sit way down dock away from music and you will have pleasant experience. read more

Was there at 5pm and there was a DJ blasting music so loud I couldn't hear the people at my table. The waitress forgot our drinks, forgot what food we ordered, and my burger came out half cooked read more

If you want the best fried chicken in the WORLD, you need to come for the Beach Tavern's. You will not be disappointed... and will probably come to have your FAVORITE dish every chance you get! We sit at the bar and have wonderful bar and food service given to us by the wonderful bartenders! Bravo! read more

Went for my sisters birthday. Our server, Rose, was incredibly sweet and attentive. She made the experience so much better. The reason for my 1 star review is the management and hostess. I called a month prior to reserve a table for my sisters birthday. When making the reservation, I expressed to the hostess how we wanted to be seated outside. The hostess, with confirmation from management, guaranteed that our party would be seated outside. Her words were "I have confirmed with management, we can make that happen for you!" Upon arrival, that was not the case. We were met with an incredibly rude hostess who no longer had our outdoor table. She gave no outdoor options (we would have waited) and stated our table was set for indoors. When I asked to speak with a manager, she responded "My manager is just going to tell you the same thing". Truthfully I would not have made the reservation if we were told that we would not be seated outdoors. We sat at our table and waited 45 minutes for a manager to finally come over. The manger very combative and was arguing with me. Then she abruptly left and said she would "be right back" and never returned the entire dinner. Her only form of rectification was "well if you want to sit outside you'll have to wait an hour and a half." This was said as we were already seated indoors and she clearly had no intention of making the situation right. I am logical and understood we could not be seated outside, though it was promised with the reservation. I simply wanted the situation rectified, which it was not. I've been to this restaurant countless times and recommend it to many. As a patron & restaurant owner, I'm very disappointed in the way this situation was handled. No hospitality at all read more

Love everything about Beach Tavern!! They were so accommodating! I went for happy hour with my daughters and parents. Usually you have to sit at one of the high top tables but I was with my parents who are older and could not get up on the high top chairs. The manager said no problem and sat us at a regular table and let us order off the happy hour menu! Such a small gesture but meant a lot!! read more

Outside area is beautiful but no reservations are taken. Inside is way too loud. The inside back room which has windows on the water could be great, but because the windows don't open, feels loud and contained. The menu offers something for everyone. For appetizers - the mussels are delicious, the broth was a ten. Nice selection of fresh oysters! We loved the pork chop with hot peppers and the Bronzino was fabulous. read more

Beautiful location! Dining room was tastefully decorated, vacay feel and the view of the marina/Shrewsbury River was gorgeous. For our eats we ordered 2 California rolls and burrata to start. Both very good. For entrees we had the lobster roll, bacon wrapped scallops on risotto and tuna steak. Everyone enjoyed their meals, only complaint is the fries served with the lobster roll weren't good. Service was attentive and quick, definitely looking forward to returning. read more

The setting is beautiful overlooking a marina on the SHREWSBURY River. Outdoor dining with palm trees, either on a deck or on a "football field" , string lighting and solid live music, make this place relaxing and fun. Though there have been some negative reviews, It did not deter us. We didn't see anything noteworthy, save a few service glitches. If you enjoy seafood, try it. Landlubbers welcome. Check out their creative menu. Indoor dining is not full capacity as of this review. Open kitchen. Vegan-gf friendly. Eat outdoors while the weather permits. read more

Who knew the long standing Sally Tees now Beach Tavern could become Cuzins in Marlboro? Had no clue about new ownership until it came to the overblown smell of cologne everywhere (0 stars) food ( 1 star) the service ( 0 stars) the vibe ( 0 stars) although seeing a DJ dressed as if he was playing at a wedding spinning 80's disco should have clued me in. We waited for our table outside inside at the bar. The bartender was sweet, the martini was on point and the crowd was way less " bridge and tunnel". If you enjoy being on the set of Goodfellas, you'll have a great time. If you're looking for your old Beach Tavern that was family friendly and had decent food and amazing service and a great spot after beaching or boating all day, run. read more

Went to Beach Tavern for the first time as part of Jersey Shore Restaurant Week. From starting with cocktails to the fabulous dinner, the experience was outstanding. The service and ambience were great as well. We'll go back soon. read more

The ambiance is okay. The food was decent. The service however was lacking. Our waitress seemed very distracted, not attentive and it was not busy at all at the time. But what really turned me off was the fact that the waitress came over and asked my friend and I to leave. She came over and told us that our specific table had reservations and we had to either move or leave. This was at 6:38 and the people were supposedly coming and 6:45. This was kind of odd because the restaurant was not busy and there were many tables available. We were there for a little over an hour and not taking up room when it was crowded. I will not be back. read more

Nice views good food but very noisy inside to have a conversation May be outside is better but I live the inside too read more

I will start with the amazing view this restaurant has. The atmosphere was beautiful. It felt like I was having dinner somewhere in the Caribbean. Now in regards to the food, coming to this place I knew it had a 3 stars and I would grade it just about that. And lastly, the service was slow. We needed to ask for plates, utensils, napkins. The coffee was served after a long wait and it was cold. A bit disappointing that $$$ sign restaurant was lacking those most important things. read more

Food was good. Always loved the ambiance of the place. Feedback I would give is the dj and dance music was a bit overwhelming. Would encourage a softer music vibe more of beach feel in the afternoon. I get after hours may be dance club. During the day I'd encourage a different music flare. read more

As a local, I frequent this restaurant often probably twice a month on the off-season. Living at the shore, you come to expect that in the summer, the prices go up the portions go down, and the service is not great. But this local place I thought would hold steady even in the summer. Brought my family from out of town there last night, my $18 Barata had the worst tomatoes....aren't we the garden, state and known for our tomatoes! Also had to return my salad to be re-tossed and added missing components. And the same salmon that I've always ordered multiple times in the past had zero salt or seasoning. When I was asked by the managers, if everything was OK, I gave my honest feedback, though felt dismissed and they made me feel like I was a complainer. Just trying to keep the place like it used to be so I can continue to be a regular. It'll probably be a while before I go back again. read more

Beach Tavern - Barata appetizer and middle of summer came with terrible mushy tomatoes and only two Cristini's. For $18. I expect better quality. - New American Near Me - Monmouth Beach, New Jersey
