The menu looked pretty good, but I was only there for a quick stop in. So I only had an order of wings. The wings were very good. I would recommend them. I look forward to coming back to this place and trying a lot more stuff. The service was very pleasant. It is located in the same parking lot as a driving range and a miniature golf so it has a lot to offer overall if you're looking for something to do and then stopping in for something to eat or a drink. I will be trying this again for sure. Looking forward to making a new review with much more detail on the food

I want to warn others that Calloway's is charging a 3% "processing fee" on debit card transactions…read more It is important for customers to know that in New Jersey, surcharging debit cards is not permitted under the law. Check for yourself, a quick search on Gemini or Grok yields the same response "No, it is generally not legal for a NJ restaurant to charge a 3% fee on a debit card transaction, even if they label it as a "credit card" fee." When I questioned the manager about this, I was met with excuses rather than a resolution. Point is that management can help prevent this by adding the debit card fee everywhere the rule is posted. It is clear this practice is about padding the restaurant's bottom line rather than covering costs. While our server was wonderful and not at fault, the management's lack of transparency is unacceptable. I like Callaway's but don't like their management who take no responsibility in rectifying this simple problem.

Customer service is amazing. Staff is beyond reproach with their care of customer experience.read more

The roll was soft and the meat wasn't chewy like it usually gets with that type of sandwich. Server was attentive from start to finish. Southwest chicken flatbread was outstanding. Avocado was ripe and that sauce was real nice !!! Everyone was on the same page. Kind of a team game thing going on to keep that service moving like it did. Balloon for the little one kept her happy for a bit. Next time I'll check out their seafood. Soft shell crab special was calling my name. Live acoustic music from Mike and John was solid as usual. Skilled players If you will. Well done Tuckerton !

This is definitely one of my new favorite places in the Manahawkin area. What looks to be a very…read moreunassuming restaurant in a strip mall is actually an excellent and very modern local favorite. The service was excellent and the environment is relaxing. They had several dishes on the menu with their own unique twist. One of my favorites that was tried was burrata over a beet puree. I've seen burrata prepared easily over a dozen ways but never with beets. It was an excellent combination and left me wanting more. More my entree I had the sesame encrusted tuna. The portion was huge! They do not skimp here. The tuna was cooked perfectly rare and was very fresh. Surprisingly, one of the best things I ate at Manera's was the caramelized onion mashed potato's that came with my fiancés veal dish. These were out of this world and easily the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. I could have eaten an entire plate of them and that's saying something for someone that typically doesn't eat mashed potatoes! Another big perk is that Manera's is BYOB and much more reasonably priced compared to any restaurant on the island. You will surely leave satisfied after a meal here!

An Absolutely Amazing Dining Experience at Manera's!…read more Our first time dining at Manera's Restaurant in Manahawkin, and we went with family. Let me tell you, the food was absolutely AMAZING! Everything was fresh, delicious, and prepared to perfection. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We started with the calamari, served with marinara sauce and a lemon garlic aioli. It was so fresh, crispy on the outside, and perfectly tender on the inside! We also ordered the crab cakes, and they were absolutely delicious! For my main course, I had the special featuring lobster tail and jumbo shrimp in a creamy sauce over penne pasta. It was incredible! Everything tasted so fresh, and the sauce was delicious. Definitely a dish worth trying! My husband had the lamb, which was cooked to perfection--beautifully tender and prepared exactly the way he likes it, rare. We also tried the soup of the day, a roasted sweet potato and apple soup, and WOW! It was so creamy, flavorful, and delicious. Such a wonderful combination of flavors! And I have to give a special shout-out to our server, Melanie! She went above and beyond to make our dining experience special. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Excellent service truly makes a difference, and Melanie was wonderful! Between the amazing food, generous flavors, and outstanding service, our first visit was a complete success! We love discovering great restaurants, and Manera's definitely did not disappoint. We will absolutely be back! If you're in the Manahawkin area and looking for a fantastic dining experience, I highly recommend giving Manera's a try! Five stars all the way! Thank you, Manera's, for a wonderful evening with family!

All the ingredients were so fresh and the Dijon vinaigrette took the salad to the next level. I'm already thinking about when I can go back and have this again. Drinks and apps were equally as great. The tuna tacos were the perfect bite. Loved the contrast of the crispy wonton shell with the seaweed salad and tuna mixed with spicy mayo. The street corn guac was also great with the smoked tortilla chips - perfectly seasoned with great crunch. Our waitress was super friendly and personable. Made the experience that much better! I can't wait to return to try more of the menu!

My boyfriend and I came to the Waterfront for the first time a few days ago, and I cannot say enough great things about it. The bacon wrapped dates appetizer are a MUST! We had dinner upstairs first, and our server Julianna was very nice and did a great job. Afterwards, we headed to the outdoor bar downstairs for some live music. The staff seemed genuinely friendly and fun to interact with. The band was so talented, and sunset view over the water was immaculate. Our bartender Katie was awesome, and made us a delish rum bucket to match the vibes. Manager Vinny was so kind and a pleasure to talk with. We even had the opportunity to talk with the owner, Joe, who was so friendly and welcoming. Great music, genuinely delicious food and fun friendly staff results in a really great date night. We will absolutely be returning soon!!

We visited Mott's Creek Restaurant as a group. Since I had never been there before, I wasn't sure…read morewhat to expect. Initially, things seemed promising as everyone placed their orders and most of the group received their meals fairly quickly. Unfortunately, another family member and I, who had both ordered the same entrée, were left waiting. Approximately 20 minutes later, when the rest of our party was nearly finished eating, our server informed us that the restaurant was out of tuna and that we would need to choose something else. It was very disappointing that it took so long for us to be notified. I ultimately ordered the mahi tacos, but they lacked flavor and were quite underwhelming. I attempted to ask for Tabasco sauce, but our server did not return to our table for quite some time to check on us. When she finally came back, I ordered another Tito's and soda and asked if it could be made as a double because my first drink tasted mostly like club soda. She informed me that the drink I had already been consuming was a double, which was surprising given the taste. At that point, I switched to water. Several others in our group were also disappointed with their meals and did not enjoy their selections. Between the long delay, poor communication, inattentive service, and disappointing food, the overall experience fell well short of expectations. Unfortunately, I do not plan to return.
