    Philly Cheese steak, no flavor what so ever.
    Jim D.

    First off I use to love coming here, now it's trash! Don't waste you time or money. The food didn't look good nor did it taste good. The server seemed to have an attitude not wanting to deal with an elderly lady pushing 100 not knowing what she wanted to eat. Never use the bathrooms there, flies and dirty. Overall this was a bad pick, I should have went to McDonald's!

    Went to this diner about 4:30 pm on a Thursday in mid June. It was not crowded and we sat down immediately. I had a BLT and asked for crispy bacon and they did a great job. Came with a pickle, coleslaw and extra mayo on the side. My husband had scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns and fat linked sausage. All very good. This food was not greasy. It tasted fresh. Service from Pauline was fast, polite and professional as well as friendly. We will be back. It was a clean place. Old school looking diner, like the 1950's. It was big and roomy.

    I like the food, but I won't go back because they will charge you 3.00 extra if you use your credit card.

    I was pleasantly surprised at just how awesome Battle River Brewing is. It is located right in…read moredowntown Toms River, a block from the namesake river and the site of an American Revolutionary War attack on a blockhouse by the British army in 1782. There is plenty of street parking, as well as a nearby lot with four hour parking. My girlfriend and I visited on a Friday evening in August. They have lots of seating both inside and out. I was very impressed by the selection of beers on offer: a whopping 26 beers and one hard seltzer, all despite the small size of the brewery. The variety was impressive as well. I've been to a lot of NJ breweries, and I saw a lot of beer styles here that I rarely, if ever, see at other places. This included a Japanese rice lager, an ESB, a white stout on nitro, a black lager, and a red wine ale. The real standouts for me were the Bluecoat (blueberry blonde), the Bayonet (honey stout on nitro), and the Red Headed Vixen (aforementioned red wine ale). My girlfriend and I each had a flight and a full pour, and we loved everything we tried. We live over an hour away, so we can't be regulars, but definitely hope to come back someday soon.

    Went for the first time with my partner. The place looked great right in the heart of downtown cool…read morelittle patio out on the sidewalk. But maybe we did it wrong? We approached the tap guy outside and asked him how seating and service worked told us to sit any where. Then that was it. We sat in a corner awkwardly for 10 mins just exchanging glances till we left. Don't know if we had a server or we were supposed to go and order our drinks and bring them to the table. The menu looked cool but didn't understand if it was to be brought to us or if we called the number on the menu and ordered. There was at least one server we saw.
