To the outside, this might look like just another bar. But to regulars and newbies, this is actually a hidden gem in Spring Lake Heights! They do have excellent bar food such as flatbreads, wings, and large pretzels, but we were impressed with their stuffed shrimp entree, drunken clams, and more. We heard the short rib sliders were a favorite, so the staff listened to their patrons and created a whole short rib burger to be added to the menu. I really like when a restaurant deeply takes into consideration the needs and wants of their patrons! It says a lot about how they operate the business. Please end your meal with the chocolate chip cookie skillet, it was so chocolatey, soft and decadent. It's a must. The service was phenomenal and very prompt. We also liked the many tvs and different seating options there, as well as the cozy intimate bar atmosphere. Definitely hope to come back soon next time I'm in the area! read more

Great area bar and food. Very friendly atmosphere. Also offers packaged beer pickup. Lunchtime had the wings (nice and crispy!), burger, crab cake, chili, grilled cheese, Grilled chicken (super delicious) Dinner had the Steak and Porkchop! both hit the spot. Drinks are a nice price to boot. Also a nice amount of TVs with a mix of sports. read more

Pretty decent American fare. We haven't dined in but have grabbed takeout a few times. The chicken sandwich is fine, wish the chicken was a little crispier, but the spicy aioli and pickles added some nice flavor. We've also tried the steak bites, nachos, and a few of the salads. Nothing particularly memorable, but it's a decent spot in the area. read more

The food was great my fellow diner and I had the stuffed shrimp, it was delish! I had the newly added coconut rice. The food was great service was great as well. Our server was friendly and attentive. The only negative was the live music was way too loud. Like off putting loud. Kind of ruined the meal. Apparently management asked if the band could turn it down a few different times but they never did! Not sure I would dine here when there is a live band. read more

Best fish tacos ever! From the tortilla to the mounds of fish, pico de gallo, melted cheese and crème fraîche. Great martinis too! Our bleu cheese burger, fries, shrimp, and BLT were excellent. The salads were so fresh. Our wait staff was fun, knowledgeable and attentive. The band Fire in the Annex was soo good, we were there for 4 hours! read more

I kinda consider myself a "hamburger snob"...actually, who doesnt?! Last night I had a cheeseburger with Gruyere cheese and it was THE most incredible cheeseburger I've ever had!! It was spot-on medium rare (how I ordered it) and sooooo juicy and flavorful! The staff is super friendly and accommodating...just all around a terrific dinner. If you're looking for an AMAZING hamburger...get to Hts 27! Oh, and my husband's salmon dinner was perfect! A nice size (some restaurants give you a teeny tiny piece of fish...not here) grilled and just perfect inside! read more

First time here. This is a great neighbor hood bar restaurant. Great atmosphere, huge wrap around bar. Booths and tables surround it. Came on a Saturday and they have nice live music while we ate. Burgers were decent, albeit a wee bit over priced. But that's the works these days. read more

I ended up at this beautiful little establishment after going to the post office next door, and it was one of those unplanned experiences that made my day. I was drawn in by a sign outside advertising a buffalo chicken club, $12, and frankly $2.50 pints of light draft beer. The bar-staff was friendly, even letting me use the restroom with no commitment to dine in. I did, however, order both the buffalo chicken club as well as a pint. The buffalo chicken club was different than expected, with a hearty portion of thinly-sliced chicken, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The buffalo flavor came from a buffalo dry seasoning, and while good once I added what seemed to be a house-made buffalo sauce for dipping the club became exceptional. The fries it was served with were also excellent and seasoned well. They have a small liquor store within the same premises, as well as numerous promotions and events throughout the week. I had remembered seeing that Heights 27 had a relatively high Yelp rating, and it was more divey than expected--it's like an upscale dive. read more

Hello folks. Good evening. I would love to say and proud that the food from this restaurant was very fabulous and would like to thank the very kind boy who delivered my food. He treated my whole family with kindness and we had a wonderful conversation. He had a buzz cut and was a Tall young man. My nephew Jay was very pleased with the food and the bright young man who delivered the food was very close with him because they knew each other from grammar school. Anyways, the food was magnificent and it delivered a true crispy, moist, moist, and extravagant taste that sealed my buds. Very pleased. read more

Not bad. Thought the menu at the last place (CJs Tavern) was better but all in all not bad. Definitely a lot nicer and cleaner than it used to be. Bartenders are phenomenal. Great spot read more

Been wanting to try this local place and finally convinced husband to go. Service was awful from the get go. Server forgot our drinks. My husband said his flatbread tasted like Elios pizza my chicken Cesar salad came without chicken and I had to wait 15 minutes for them to make it. This was the WORST meal we have ever had. Will never go back!! read more

Had an amazing meal tonight with my wife. We have been wanting to check this place out for a bit. Wife got steak bites and a Caesar Salad, both were top notch. I had a burger and fries, oh don't get me started on the pretzel. Service was great and the music and overall atmosphere were very nice. Will definitely go back again. read more

Time from order to receiving our food was 2 hours. When we asked for a discount, the manager refused. We called back to speak with him again, but he responded very unprofessionally. He dismissed our concerns with, "Come on, guys," and continued to argue instead of offering a resolution. The tone was dismissive, and the experience left us feeling disrespected and frustrated after already waiting far too long. read more

Been here twice in the past two weeks. A bit hidden in a strip mall. Bavarian pretzel with mustard/cheese is awesome. Had blue cheese burger and chicken club. Both very flavorful read more

The friendliest staff you will meet. They also had a live band that rocked. Not sure if onion rings are freshly made but tried them. They were a good bar snack. The lobster roll wasn't my jam either. It was lobster salad on a bun. Not my fav. The Street corn was fresh and delicious. It is served on the cob on a skewer with some cheese and spicy mayo. The sliders were delish. Cool spot and I had no idea. Will be back. read more

Great revamp of the old bar that was here for years. Good food and drinks. Layout is a little more open and minimalist compared to the old place. New menu has some good choices. Burgers are exceptional here. One thing we hated about the old place was it always reeked of cigarette smoke when you walked in . People stand around the outside of the entrance puffing away and it just ruins your appetite walking in. I had hoped they would fix that with the revamp but its still the same old guys hanging outside, right at the door smoking away. Every time you open the door for people coming and going foul smelling smoke air wafts into the place. Reminds you of being in an old Atlantic city casino,but i digress. Would be a 5 star place if they could keep the smokers away from the entrance.(i get it, its a bar, people drink and used to smoke inside,but if you arent a smoker and are used to not ever smelling cigarettes in a restaurant, the smell here is in your face soon as you approach the front of the building. I do believe there is a designated smoking area outside that isnt used or enforced read more

service was so slow, food took a long time to come out, over charged for a happy hour domestic beer. Charged 3 % for credit card but never saw a notice for the charge. read more

Not impressed. The drinks were disgusting, including the lemonade. The food was not good either. No seasoning.

Awesome food - service was great. Good spot to watch sports. Bar was a good size. We sat outside. Good size menu too. Highly recommend the Big Mac read more

First time coming to this location since under new ownership and the place has taken a complete 360 when it comes to quality and service. The food was absolutely delicious and Erica our server was extremely attentive but not overwhelming. Rob the bartender was an expert at making drinks, I ordered an expresso martini and it was one of the best I've ever had. I will be back again undoubtably! read more

Food was excellent. Service was tremendous Wife had sirloin tips which were tasty as she offered me a tip. I had the prime rib. With fries and it melted in your mouth. I've had a good experience eating there. I've recommended the place to other over the summer and fall. read more

Awesome dining experience! Gluten friendly and wonderful service. Just a very cool place!

Second time here and second time it did not disappoint! Great nachos, a perfect BLT and attentive staff. I will be back when Im in Spring Lake again!! read more

Heights 27 is a newly remodeled bar and restaurant in Spring Lake Heights NJ. The bar is large, with plenty of big-screen TV's. Also, they had a live, classic rock band on the Friday night we ate there. The band was good. The best thing about Heights 27 is the bar food. The offer upscale bar food with high-quality ingredients. We had hog wings for an appetizer. They are amazing. I had the crab cake sandwich as my meal, with fries. The crab cake was cooked perfectly, and the fries were hot and crispy. We enjoyed a great night of food, drinks, and music. I am glad to have this restaurant in Spring Lake. read more

This has become our favorite local spot since they've redone the place. The bartenders have become good friends. Service is amazing. Food is delicious and the entertainment is fantastic. Andy makes us wanna keep coming back! He's so attentive and we never wait for a drink. read more

A few young women in front greeted us warmly and our server Lena was friendly, attentive and informative. The Heights (perfect) Manhattan and Spring Spritz were wonderful. Wine is served by the glass only. We prefer a bottle but here is a package store inside so perhaps there is some regulation in place. We shared clam strips which may or may not have been made in house but delicious nonetheless. The tartar sauce was a bit watery. The appetizer of 3 Hog "Wings", actually pork with an interesting sauce, was unique and delicious. My husband and daughter both had lobster rolls which were really yummy without a lot of filler. I had the stuffed shrimp special which I thought was excellent. We were quite impressed and will be visiting again next week! read more

What can I say, arrived at this establishment and was greeted by Sandy our waitress who made our experience wonderful and provided great service and noted as a hard worker. All in all, sandwiches & soup + Beer was awesome and very delicious. Kudos to Sandy and her team at Heights 27... read more

Food - my girlfriend and I enjoyed nachos, she had a chicken Cesar salad and I had a burger. Both of us had the sangria, i had the red and she had the white which is not on the menu. I thought the nachos were great, only issue is we had chili on them and it had a little to much which made the chips soggy at the end. The salad was delicious, ordered it with crispy chicken. The burger I created my own with cheddar bacon bbq sauce, was Cooked perfectly. Service - our waitress was great, very personable gave good recommendations and attentive. Ambiance - Live music on Friday nights we got there for the end of one performance and another was starting on our way out, it was crowded with a good vibe, birthday parties. read more

Burger night on Wednesday was delicious. Great burger cooked correctly and hot crunchy fry's. Definitely would come back

The first time there today went for lunch it was awful so disappointed I ordered tuna bites rare they came out well done took a long time for the food to come out i had to ask for it the french onion soup was strange had no bread in it all in all never will go back they need a new chef read more

We were regulars at CJs under the old owners, and was not impressed with the food after the changeover. So we gave it a break for a bit. We decided to give it another try and we were impressed. The Mrs. had prime rib and I had onion soup and the Buffalo chicken wrap. Everything was delicious and prepared as expected. Will put in back in our regular rotation. Service was great too! read more

Friendly staff delicious food nice atmosphere large bar. Sangria is tasty. And they take reservations.

My husband and I have been h e re a few times and the food is always descent and drinks good. We havent been here in a while dont know why but did come last week and didnt dissapont. Kiiernan was very attentive and made us laugh which we needed. Oh and the clam chowder was delicious! Will definately be back sooner. read more

This is your usual pub food and sometimes have live music and, of course, lots of TVs. There is also ample parking. The food is fine, what would you expect from a pub. The service though ruins the experience. There is one waitress that is absolutely rude and should be fired. I have seen several people complain about her but the manager failed to heed customer concerns. Luckily, there are lots of great places in the area so I would skip here until they get their service issues fixed. read more

Definitely gone down hill. Specials have disappeared. Taco Tuesday shrimp cocktail chopped up what may be shrimp in mayonnaise sauce maybe 1 or 11/2 shrimp per taco. Nickel and diming their customers. read more

Service is friendly and place is spotless. It's located in a strip mall on 71 with views of the customers going in and out of Drew's Market. The French onion soup cheese was tasty but the broth was off, I can't put my finger on it, but pass on it. Burger was cooked perfectly and the fries were tasty. Another place where they are stingy with the condiments. I'd go back to try something else. read more

Best burger in belmar/spring lake- simple but perfect execution and cheap beer. This place is important.

I came here for the first time with my wife and mother in law for lunch this past weekend. We sat out front because it was a nice day - when I looked inside it seemed like a great spot to sit at the bar and watch a yanks game. The demographic was a little older than other jersey shore bars which I thought was good (no fist pumping). There were folks seated at the bar and it seemed like a good time, it was clean and had a nice ambiance. Our waiter was friendly and the food came out in a well paced manner. We ordered the crab cake sandwich, chicken club sandwich and a chicken Caesar salad. All were well prepared and tasted great. The sandwiches were ideally sized portions and were not messy to pick up and eat like at other bars/restaurants I have been at previously. We will definitely plan on going back! read more

Excited to see the old CJ 's changed to Heights 27. The inside is a nice soothing color of bluish green with darker floors but has a light airy feeling. Its located in a strip mall so ample parking. We were seated quickly at a high top table, but there was also seats at the bar available. (As a side note, Heights 27 also sells a pretty big selection of beer and wine you can take home. ) First let me say that the food was good and the drink list extensive. We ordered the fried clams and the chips and guac as appetizers. The guac was fresh, nice and chunky the way I like it. The fried clams were good with the sauce that came with it. For dinner I had a garden salad with grilled chicken. A generous portion of both salad and nice tender chicken. My friend had a burger cooked exactly as ordered and said it was delicious. My rating is more 3.5 stars is based on a few kinks I'm sure will be worked out - we received our appetizers but had to flag a server and ask for plates. The chips to guac ratio left us with more chips when the guac was gone, and we weren't loading the chips. The chips were ok, my friend thought they were stale. The drink pours were a little light, I didn't taste the alcohol in my first drink but that depends on the bartender. Will definitely try this place again, had more good things to say about it than bad. read more

Went for a late lunch. Seemed odd just one other patron enjoying a drink at the bar. I ordered a Kettle One martini. Didn't taste right. We waited an inordinate amount of time for our food, especially with us being the only customers. My wife's tuna taco, the tuna was overcooked. My pork chop was ok. read more
