We had a great experience here! We got here at around 2:15pm to kick off our day at the beach. 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!

Decent parking enough for a few cars but off season shouldn't be an issue parking over by the boats. Friendly service and hot strong coffee; perfect way to start the day. I had the 2 egg breakfast with crispy bacon, potatoes, rye toast and fruit. Hot sauce on the table was a bonus! Everything was fresh, tasty and cooked well. I would be happy to come back again next time I'm up in New Jersey for breakfast or lunch. Thank you!

Then I went in there this past Sunday the person giving change and preparing your food had one glove on and was using the gloved hand for preparing the food and using the register.

They're the reason we have visited at least 20 times. Then there is a bartender named Jack. He does his very best to keep my wife and I waiting. He ignores us for no good reason. My wife asked Jack if he could put on the Yankee game. He snapped at her and said can't you see I'm busy. He then refused to put the game on. We got the manager's attention and he put the game on. Two weeks forward we attended an affair on the second floor. Afterwards we went downstairs for a nightcap. Jack as usual ignored us. When I asked him to get us a drink he responded with can I wait on another customer first in a very disrespectful tone while using a hand gesture pointing at the other customer. I have always tipped well and cannot understand his surly attitude directed at my wife and I. I told Jack exactly what I thought of him. He then said now I'm not going to give you a drink. This guy thinks he owns the place. He ran to the manager and told her a customer was being mean to him. Jack should not work in the service industry. He shouldn't pick and choose who he should or should not service.

Hubby gets eggs Benedict and I got eggs Benedict with sausage (both delicious! I took half mine home for a second meal). This latest time, I got one of the specials which was strawberry French toast! Oh my!! Soooo good! Again, I took half home and thoroughly enjoyed it a second time. Not badly priced- these dishes were about $15 (and I got a side of meat included with it). The place is very clean and neat, just small. Staff were really friendly and attentive. We'll go again!
