I have had breakfast or lunch here many times. The food is delicious and consistent. The dishes as well as the sauces are homemade. Surprisingly the shake selection will make you want to try something new. My favourite is a sour sop shake. It's a tropical fruit that's so tasty. The baristas will make a fresh cappuccino other drink from the coffee menu. The atmosphere is friendly, everything is immaculately clean and the menu is so varied there's something for everyone to look forward to. Treat yourself to a Mexican or traditional meal

Wow! This is fresh, not greasy Mexican food of the highest quality. The service was great. Chill diner with open kitchen that you kind of walk through to get to the Loo. We went for lunch and got take out for dinner.

well done is not raw 10 times under cooked nasty rude and doesn't respond respectfully when i get food under cooked great trash spot for over expensive food that should be 1/4 of what she charges

Couldn't finish my meal. The food was aweful. The rice was sticky and flavorless. The beans were extremely dry. Seamed like day old. My quesadillas lacked any kind of flavor. Some dishes should be able to hold their own without smothering them in cheese, which I asked to exclude. This dish was a complete failure.

We were visiting family and got to this cozy place to have breakfast. It is a nice place, they serve delicious food with authentic Mexican flavor, portions are huge!! We had chilaquiles and churros. The service is extraordinary. We will be back whenever we visit our family again!

Spanish style breakfast & brunch. Best in Asbury Pk, Long Branch -Bradley Beach. Authentic American and Hispanic dishes priced right! HOLA!!

Go no farther for great HIspanic food, especially the eggs ranchero, or just plain "sunny side, over light and scrambled" American style. The prices are the best in Bradley Beach, Avon by... or Asbury Park and Ocean Grove only 1/2 mile away. Authentic is the word. You'll know for sure because all the local communities go here. The Decor is "compfy booths and counter" sitting. The owners cook @ serve for family atmosphere. You're gonna' love it.

What a solid breakfast/lunch spot. Service was fast and friendly but most importantly the food was dynamite and you get a lot of bang for your buck. Exceptionally well made rice and beans as your side and whatever you pick as your main will pack a punch. It's a low key and a traditional diner space with no frills just good people and good food. read more

Please accept my highest recommendations for the Bradley Cafe. Here's why... There is crave-able, delicious food and then there is something better: the Bradley Cafe. The Bradley Cafe is beyond spectacular. From the outside it almost looks like a diner. When you enter, you could think that''s the concept with the counter and booth seating. And the entire place is immaculate. Like a full cleaning crew comes in every night. And yes, they do serve breakfast and sandwiches, but the real star here IMHO is the Mexican food. Everything I've ordered here is indescribably delicious, from the chips and salsa, guacamole and salsa verde to the tacos, burritos, chilaquiles,, soups and enchiladas. The only reason I am writing this review is that I'm looking for their menu right now, to plan a take-out dinner party menu to pick up tomorrow. Why? Because the food is truly spectacular and I have someone important coming over for dinner tomorrow. Because he knows food, I know I have to serve the very best. That's wha the Bradley Cafe delivers: the very best. :D read more

Look if you're into Mexican breakfast go here and you will not be disappointed and by all means get their pico de gallo on the side - delicious. The wife now has me going over there weekly to get an order of pico to take home and she uses it as a topping on just about everything she eats. Not fine dining just a simple average neighborhood place run by really nice people and frequented by many local people over the past ten years or so. It's all about the Mexican eggs ... read more

Covid has prevented me from a full experience here. I've gotten their BEC several times and they make a great one. Quick, always perfect to my order (bacon, egg and cheese w/a little black pepper and the bacon crispy). Super friendly family owners that should get the support of their community. From my discussions they've owned and run the business for 17 years. Now that I live here I'll be frequenting more although the pandemic puts a damper on everything including take out. Just isn't the same but I plan on trying out many more things on their menu on all my sure future visits read more

A well kept unpretentious, local place with an excellent chef and staff.

The menu has a great variety from breakfast to lunch. I came here with my dad and baby brother for what I thought would be a light lunch but oh my god... the portions are huge!!! I ordered a torta de Milanesa (pretty much a chicken cutlet sandwich) and it was huge. It was also very tasty! I love how the bread was flatten kind of like a panini. I enjoyed my meal a lot and even got to take the other half home. My dad ordered the enchiladas and just dug right in. His portion was enormous and even came with rice and beans but he devoured it. My baby brother ordered chicken fingers and fries... I love the little basket the fries come in and they had so much flavor. The chicken fingers were also good. If you're ever near Bradley beach and want a reasonable price for breakfast/ lunch I recommend coming here! read more

When I walked into the restaurant, there were 6 people standing ahead of us at the hostess stand.

It was odd and we almost left and walked to The Buttered Biscuit down the street, but we stuck it out. Once we were seated we were given a tiny placard to scan the menu with our phones. Service after being seated was surprisingly consistent after our long wait time to be seated with no acknowledgment from staff. I have a gluten allergy and the online menu did not have specific information showing what was GF or GFA. When I asked the sever about it she rattled off some GF options but of course I couldn't remember all of them, having them marked on the menu would be so helpful. I ordered the Birria Omelette but chose to have the tortilla strips on the side since they were in a shared fryer. The dressing for the side salad was light and tangy. The omelette was supposed to be French style but wasn't creamy in the middle. Birria meat was tender and kind of overwhelmed the overall taste of the omelette. I also had an iced decaf mocha latte and it was good, not too sweet and pretty much coffee flavored chocolate milk. My dining companion had the classic French toast, which looked delicious and he really enjoyed it but I didn't taste it because "gluten." Ambiance is really nice, tables are well spaced and the restaurant is well decorated. Not sure if I'll be back but glad I tried it!

Here I got a big bowl of cold water--with a bone-shaped ice cube no less!--and my very own menu! I chose the Scone Bone and 2 slices of bacon. They were quite delicious, and served with a delightful bouquet garni of tiny milk bones--another favorite of mine. 5 stars!! Highly recommend!! (And my human liked her food a lot, too!)

I ordered a Shrimp Po' Boy and it was by far the best Po'Boy I have had outside of New Orleans, and might have even been better than the one I had there too. My daughter ordered the Fish and Chips, which she loved despite it being her first time trying it. The interior has that "hole in the wall" vibe with just a few tables and a few stools at the counter. The food is being made just feet away from wear you're sitting and it creates a homey vibe. The locals seem to love the place as several stopped in to either eat or chat with the two women working. I do believe they have outdoor seating at picnic tables. Overall, this place is an absolute gem and i'll definitely be back when we return to Belmar, NJ.

It's cash only or Venmo, which I find its pretty normal for smaller local spots. The thing about this location was that it reminded me of Maine, the walls are painted this beautifully brilliant blue with nautical inspired decor. My favorite was the fishies above a fishing boat, which I had to take a snap of. I ordered 3 eggs over medium, with rye, and a side of bacon. The eggs were still a bit too runny, but its a standard breakfast. I want to go back and to sit there because the staff were super nice. If I lived closer then I'd prolly be here all the time. I saw a reviewer complain about the sign showing open, but they weren't. Honestly businesses making that mistake all the time, but to point it out is just whatever. Highly recommend stopping by here early because I have a feeling they're super busy with the locals.

Despite the business, the staff was friendly, alert, and quick on their feet. My turkey and provolone sandwich was thick. Packed with meat and cheese and fresh vegetables.

It was just about a 3 minute drive to the beach and would maybe be about a 15 minute walk. I will definitely be returning!

The crust and dough is outstanding great sauce and cheese and they offer many different toppings as well. The chopped antipasto salad is a must, enough for 4 people.

Carafe and half carafes of red and White House wine, decent and goes great with the fantastic pizza. Fish, eggplant, chicken, and veal dishes. The veal dishes are cubed veal didn't order.

Vic's is unapologetically traditional! They do what they do and do it right. If you're searching for a traditional Bar/Tavern style Pizza. Look no further. Its good reputation is well earned. Thin Crispy Crust, Sweet Sauce and gooey cheese. Can be a little greasy but actually in a GOOD way! Flavor bomb! Pepperoni, Sausage and Onions is the way to go! Fried Calamari appetizer is just the right size and if you order the Antipasto Salad; it can be shared by 4 people. It's BIG! Seating can be a little trying on busier nights (weekends/Summer) etc but moves well enough, and worth waiting.

BRADLEY BEACH: I love that being part of the Yelp Elite squad introduces me to new places and…read moreexperiences and that a lot of them are dog friendly! The Elite Experience at Fins Bradley Beach was no different and enjoying a complimentary pumpkin pie smoothie was the best way to spend a late October day at the beach. The smoothie was a perfect blend of pumpkin flavor and I ordered mine with coconut milk, since I need to be dairy free. I love that they have that as an option. Even with coconut milk, the smoothie was SO CREAMY and really hit my thirsty mouth and hungry tummy spot. We'll be on the lookout for other seasonal flavors and will enjoy their classics. Everything is made fresh so they can be very accommodating on any modifications to your order. I am a very picky eater and a self-confessed worst vegan because I dislike many main vegan veggie fillers. Fins' veggie option is not pre-mixed, so if you do not like something, they can easily omit it from your order. It was so easy! The staff is extremely friendly and I was able to order inside with my dog and then enjoy the pumpkin pie smoothie and mexicali burrito at their outdoor tables, where leashed and friendly dogs are allowed. The storefront is right on Main Street and Brie said hello to every passerby in the area, but it can be a bit noisy due to traffic! We appreciate the staff bringing out a cup of water for her too! The restaurant has a great atmosphere with bright colors, island-style music, and they serve up surf-inspired food in a casual environment, all while being wallet-friendly. Burritos, tacos, salads, wraps, a special gluten-free menu, smoothies, and they even offer catering! They use the freshest and finest ingredients and care about the planet with biodegradable products, and also care about the community through donations. During the 30 minutes spending time here, the amount of customers walking-in blew my mind. This place is popular and for good reason! We plan to visit their other locations in Point Pleasant and Sea Girt.

When I walked into the restaurant, there were 6 people standing ahead of us at the hostess stand. Tables were emptying out but no one even acknowledged our existence for - no exaggeration- 15 minutes. We made conversation with the people around us that it was almost comical that no one even said they'd be with us in a moment. It was odd and we almost left and walked to The Buttered Biscuit down the street, but we stuck it out. Once we were seated we were given a tiny placard to scan the menu with our phones. Service after being seated was surprisingly consistent after our long wait time to be seated with no acknowledgment from staff. I have a gluten allergy and the online menu did not have specific information showing what was GF or GFA. When I asked the sever about it she rattled off some GF options but of course I couldn't remember all of them, having them marked on the menu would be so helpful. I ordered the Birria Omelette but chose to have the tortilla strips on the side since they were in a shared fryer. The dressing for the side salad was light and tangy. The omelette was supposed to be French style but wasn't creamy in the middle. Birria meat was tender and kind of overwhelmed the overall taste of the omelette. I also had an iced decaf mocha latte and it was good, not too sweet and pretty much coffee flavored chocolate milk. My dining companion had the classic French toast, which looked delicious and he really enjoyed it but I didn't taste it because "gluten." Ambiance is really nice, tables are well spaced and the restaurant is well decorated. Not sure if I'll be back but glad I tried it!
