We stopped into Burke's Market during the off-season and absolutely loved it. It was calm and not crowded, which made the whole experience even better. They had great lunch specials, and everything looked fresh and well-made. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with gluten allergies -- staff was knowledgeable and helpful, which made ordering stress-free. Our sandwiches were delicious, generously portioned, and hit the spot after a beach walk. Such a great local spot to grab lunch in Bay Head, especially when things are quieter. We'll definitely be back! read more

I came here each morning while we spent the week at Bayhead, and it was the perfect breakfast! I ordered the pork roll and thought it was delicious! Iced coffees were solid and the staff was friendly. It's a cute little shop with groceries and souvenirs. I personally thought the actual groceries were overpriced but I get that it's a specialty store on the beach. It was still fun to window shop and walk around though I would definitely come back! read more

Service was friendly and helpful. Best chicken salad sandwich!!! Loved it! Great liquor store attached along with a cute little beach shop with branded gifts for all ages ! read more

I can't speak to the quality of the food because I didn't get that far. But it seems like they have some serious staffing issues. They're completely disorganized, don't call people back, are "too busy" to help customers with basic things. Hire more people for busy times, maybe? It might be fantastic quality, but I couldn't get past the service issues to find out. I won't try them again. If you're looking for a quality deli down the shore, try Joe Leones. read more

Ordered food for 4 from Burkes through DoorDash for delivery, and Dash texted me that the order was canceled - 30 minutes before the scheduled delivery! Some glitch between them and Burkes, so I called Burkes directly. Ethan handled the call and, while they weren't able to re-create the entire order at that moment, they were able to get me two chicken parm and two eggplant parm entrees, plus two orders of chicken fingers delivered hot and on time! Ethan and Burke's came through for me bigtime, and the food was delicious. Thank you! read more

Local. Stopped to pick up a pint of ice cream and always expect to pay a couple of bucks more for convenience but was shocked and disappointed that a single pint of Ben & Jerrys was priced $11.99! That is just wrong when full price at 7/11 or ShopRite or StopNShop is $5.99. Lost a customer. read more

Really cute grocery, deli/gift shop in Bay Head with an adjoining wine store and candy shop. Great sandwiches! Service was prompt and professional. We will definitely come back again and again to Burke's. read more

Burkes Market - Aisles of great products, food and gifts, from the luxurious to the practical. - Grocery Near Me - Bay Head, New Jersey

This is the cutest place at the beach with its Aperol Spritz cart and other cute decor. The best food items that you didn't even know you needed are ready for you to purchase at this store. Sandwiches are amazing and they are an all Thumann's shop which means you're getting the highest quality meat. Try the chicken cutlet w/ broccoli rabe. Delicious! The wine shop has every wine, liquor, and beer you can think of, with plenty of supply and did I mention, it's a block from the beach!! read more

Would rate 0 stars if possible. Shit takes forever for a breakfast sandwich that is... fine. May have waited an hour, or at least feels like it an hour, and it still hasn't come out. Ts pmo read more

Lots of great items here! From food to shirts (in the back) - you can take your pick of things to buy. I was looking for an adult sweatshirt /Bay Head and that they didn't have... a fun and friendly place to shop for sure! read more

Great place to shop for what we need in Bayhead. All food options are terrific and taste great and the liquor selection is fantastic. Thank god Burke's is here! read more

I have given Burkes many chances. It's a beautiful lay out and has what would seemingly be amazing choices. However, Burkes is all style no substance. In the past 5 times I've been it has taken 30+ minutes to get a sandwich. I could live with that. What I can't live with is that after a 30 minute wait the sandwich has always been wrong. The owner took what was once an amazing deli, and invested too much into renovations and not enough into service. read more

I have celiac disease and they say they have gluten free options so I ordered and noted my SEVERE allergy. they marked my order as gluten free on my tag and receipt but I called after I took my first few bites and they said that they just realized they were sold out of gluten free bread so just gave me normal bread. I've been sick for two days now. this is not an allergy safe or allergy friendly establishment. if you have celiac or any other allergy/auto immune disease protect yourself and do not eat here. read more

Burke's market is a "high end" bodega style fancy convenience store with mostly reasonable prices on the Jersey shore. They replace the beloved Central Market aka "Central Mark"up or "Tiffany's". Central has been a sea shore favorite convenience shop my whole entire childhood. When they sold it to the new owners, I was skeptical and sad. I am now do you delighted to report that this has been the best change from hurricane Sandy. Of course, I miss the old folks that ran the previous establishment they were the best in every way but now we have a new gig in town and it's terrific. Besides food and essentials they sell smaller items like gorgeous candles, coffee mugs, beach bags and hostess presents. Their buyer is terrific. I love their selection of fancy crackers, drinks, shacks and household essentials etc. They also make fresh sandwiches and have sushi and prepared food. All of the food that I've ever had there has been delicious. I am especially impressed with their phenomenal sandwiches. A few of my family members report that they make amazing breakfast sandwiches too. This charming market is connected to Candy Cabana which is an old fashion candy store. Beside the fact that CC is a charming experience, They have a nice choice of candy, souvenirs and knickknacks. The kids love this destination. I love their wonderful sweaters that read Bay Head or Mantoloking. On the other end of the store Burkes has great a boutique liquor store. If you're out trying to get ice purchase it there they have great cocktail Ice. The atmosphere is inviting and the prices are reasonable all things considered. The wine prices are pumped up a little bit but this is worth it for the convenience. I have been served over and over by their very friendly, helpful staff members who are all taking Covid-19 precautions seriously. Burke's Market is a wonderful addition to the Bay Head Mantoloking jersey shore. (don't forget to pick up some of their renowned Preppy Italian pasta sauce too, it's the best!) read more

I ordered the Johnson sandwich and it did not come with tomato sauce. Which made the sandwich dry and bland. The service was fine and the atmosphere was good. As I was waiting for my sandwich, 2 people came in with dogs and walked around the store. I have a no pet policy. read more

I do love this store for the convenience and the quality. However having to wait almost an hour for a sandwich and ice tea is a bit much.

We can't say enough about Jackie and her team at Burkes! We have always had the absolute best food, drinks and service! They are delightful and always accommodating! This is our go to spot at the beach! read more

We love having breakfast sandwiches here! The Taylor ham, egg and cheese is the absolute best! The Brioche roll brings it to another level. Jackie and her staff are SO welcoming . Can't wait to go back ! Deirdre read more

Awesome place and great owner. Excellent deli with tasty sandwiches and salads. And, the desserts are truly delicious. Overall, an outstanding lunch at very reasonable prices. Also, very clean with pleasant ambiance. We highly recommend it! read more

The staff was rude and the tables were all dirty, sandwich was awful bread sucked and it was the most overpriced lunch of my life. 20.00$ for a 6 inch sandwich, chips and a soda. read more

We absolutely love this market and frequent here for breakfast and lunch. It's the perfect spot to take a break from the beach. Their tuna salad is hands down the best I've ever had. I love that they carry liquor I can't necessarily find at other spots. They also have the cutest candy store in the back! We bought their jarred tomato sauce, The Preppy Italian, and look forward to enjoying a little bit of Burke's at home. read more

We love Burke's! Very kind staff, delicious sandwiches, huge selection of wine and beer. One block from the beach. It can get busy on a holiday weekend, but it's always worth the wait. read more

I rarely write reviews on yelp but I had to this time. I have never experienced such DISGUSTING service in my life. When we got there, there were about 5 other people in the store and approximately 10 workers. My bf and I order 2 egg sandwiches. After waiting 25min, we checked on our order and were told 5min. 5min later we were told 10min. Excuse me, but 45min for 2 egg sandwiches?! And no apologies! I ended up getting a refund and the woman just gave me a hard attitude the whole time. Awful store that really should not be in business. Do not go here. read more

Years ago, this was called Central Market and it had the best subs on the island, hands down. It was beachy, sandy and worn -- just perfect for Bay Head. Now, as Burke's Market, it's been brought up to date, with more contemporary offerings and gourmet selections in the aisles. The good thing is that the subs haven't changed, in fact they are better than ever! I always order an Italian sub; you're in New Jersey after all. read more

A very interesting establishment. I have honestly never experienced Rude employees like the ones here who clearly do not care about customer service. Further, the bagel sammy I ordered tasted pretty stale and was not worth it. The market itself looks nice, but I would stay away from ordering anything from their counter. read more

I just had to post...Even though I live in Shrewsbury, my happy place has always been the Bay Head/ Mantoloking area- I took a ride down recenty and popped into Burkes Market (a favorite) and I have to tell you, inarguably the best meatballs I've ever had and the sandwiches I brought back for my family were OUTSTANDING. We can't wait to try your sauce now! I'm sure you get inundated with reviews like these and I'm happy to add to that list! read more

Adorable local market with everything from cute sweatshirts to bbq decor to alcohol and no mention a fantastic variety of freshly made food. They have a great to-go selection or will make something fresh while you wait. read more

Went here to eat but restroom was out of order, supposedly. So I asked to use employee bathroom and they said no. How rude! I'll never set foot in there again read more

place is so clean and beautiful. Variety of wine and healthy beverages. The chicken salad sandwich was fresh and delicious. quick service considering I visited during the weekend. Definitely coming back for the gelato once it gets warm out. perfect place to grab something for a cute picnic date at the shore. read more

Great service, great food, overall all GREAT! Burkes is in a great spot and they have many other options to shop for. Definitely enjoy going there read more

I want to like this place, but they keep making it harder and harder. I walked in with my two sons to get a few sandwiches to go. There is no direction on someone to assist you, so I wait at the counter, hoping someone will ask if what I would like. That doesn't happen. Instead, the three people behind the counter ignore all the customers to have a 10 minute conversation about people at different schools they know. One fellow customer finally asked if they could order something, which one of the employees responded with a "go to the front, I don't take orders". Myself and the two other customers go to the front, and the employee at the front doesn't know how to enter in orders beyond the basics. I attempted to order 4 simple sandwich, 2 turkey and cheese on white bread, 2 chicken cutlets sandwiches, but the employee had too much trouble, and asked for assistance. When it was finally sorted out, they told me it would be $76. I said there must be a mistake, turkey and cheese sandwiches shouldn't be $17 each, but I was told that they don't set the price, and I need to deal with it. I cancelled my order and left. This place needs to get better prices and better employees. read more

So this past weekend my wife and I stopped into Burke's to pick up some lunch. As we walked in we admired the transformation that went into Burke's Market. My wife ordered 3 sandwiches, 2 pastrami sandwiches (this sandwich was listed as a special) and 1 Chicken Parmigiana. We paid for the sandwich's $30 plus and headed home. When my wife unwrapped her pastrami sandwich ( which should have had coleslaw and cheese on the sandwich) this is what she got see attached photos. Needless to say the sandwiches were burned, it wasn't pastrami and no coleslaw or cheese. I also would like to state that there was only 1 other customer ordering at that time, so there is no excuse that we should have received a burnt sandwich. I rarely write a review for a location unless it is outstanding and or terrible and unfortunately this was terrible. read more

Great selection of drinks and grocery food, excellent lattes, tuna sandwich was the best besides what my mother would make me! I love this place, nice people run it who are great with children and amuse my toddler while the food is prepared. They make custom sandwiches and i also enjoy their ready made salads. They open at 8:00am and lots of regulars fill the place for their coffee. Great food and prices are reasonable! read more

Today I called this sweet little market that I remembered stopping in two summers ago during a visit to Bay Head. I was looking for a special gift basket for a good friend who was just getting out of the hospital-needed it delivered same day. Spoke to two great girls, Gianna and Cindy, who helped me via many text messages all afternoon. I told them what I was looking for and they sent picture after picture after picture until they came up with the perfect gift basket for my friend! By the end of the day, it was personally delivered to her door and my friend absolutely LOVED it! Thank you ladies for helping me get this this wonderful package delivered. Love shopping local even all the way from Wilmington NC! read more

Burkes Market - a basket of goodies - Grocery Near Me - Bay Head, New Jersey

A cute market with fine priced items. After picking out some assorted items most of the registers we saw were closed so went up to an employee and asked about it and was told "At the register?" ??? Figured out there was one open in the liquor section and went there only to be greeted by a long line, an unfriendly woman and a machine that was not working, the lady tried her best but couldn't get through the line very fast, that was fine, not her fault. However we overheard a conversation where the other employee didn't wanna reopen her register because it "wasn't that many people" There were about 6 people in the line which I'd say is pretty long for one register. After writing this I am still in the store watching the line and it's barely moved. Would definitely be 5 stars if customer service was better. As someone who works in customer service I get things don't work out sometimes and that's fine but for one employee to be rude to the customer and the coworker who didn't wanna open her register says something about the place. TLDR: Cute store, bad service read more

Worst. I try it I hope for better and never get it. The wait even when you order in the phone ahead is forever for the simplest things. The sandwiches are not that good and the help / service is awful. Skip it and either make a sandwich at home or go to Jo Leones. read more
