    Blueberry pancake
    Dipali G.

    Solid brunch spot in jersey shore! This place is bustling, I did not expect it to be so busy but clearly this is the place to be on a Sunday morning! There was about a 30 minute wait, but there's ample chairs and free coffee for you while you wait! Food: the food was pretty solid, nothing mind blowing but simple and good! I had the south side wrap without ham, and it had a lot of flavor! The side of home fries was my favorite! We also got a short stack of blueberry pancakes, which resembled your diner pancakes! Service: they are pretty busy but they try and get to you fast and are attentive Price: reasonably priced!

    It took about 40 minutes for our breakfast food to come out, and I get they were busy but it still seemed a bit much. We barely got checked on and they have so much wait staff for such a small place that was weird to me. We had thought about ordering sandwiches to go for later but based on the time it took for the breakfast food decided against it. Good thing because we had just got our food and no more than 10 minutes after it came out someone came and slapped a bill on our table barely looked at us and said no rush and didn't ask if we wanted or needed anything else. We just got our food even if we had been there a while, it was because it took so long for food to come out, seemed kind of rude. When I was pouring syrup on my pancake the whole lid popped off and dumped so much on my entire plate and I didn't say anything to anyone cause no one came by and we already had our check. Luckily I already ate my eggs so they didn't get doused in syrup. I grew up in Lavallette but don't live here anymore and I always loved coming to Meg's. I have come here and there over the years since I'm not that far, and I've never had an experience like this so it really threw me off. I will probably never come back and that makes me a little sad since it was such a staple growing up, and the food IS good and very fairly priced. I don't know if it was an off day or what but I will probably never come back.

    Just spent the week in Lavallette and due to it being Preseason and covid, many places were not yet open. We tried out Megs for lunch on Day 1 and ended up coming multiple times for takeout lunch, breakfast outdoors, etc. Every time our food was fresh and delicious and the service was quick. My French toast at breakfast was DELICIOUS!!! I will definitely be back!!

    Meg's was the final stop on our noble chum posse adventure in Lavallette, and a pleasant one. We had a crew of five people for this meal, and thankfully were able to get seated almost immediately upon arrival. It was a Tuesday mid-morning, with a decent crowd throughout the restaurant and in the small outdoor dining section. My memory of this adventure involved a lot of squinting - I foolishly went into the ocean the day before with my sunglasses on and promptly lost them to the sea, so the 15-minute walk to Meg's in the sun was not one of my favorites. Obviously not Meg's fault. Leave your prized possessions under the cabana. Upon menu perusal, I immediately imprinted on Meg's Scramble, which was basically a pile of eggs, cheese, home fries and bacon. It was like a breakfast sandwich threw up on my plate in the best way possible. You can see from the attached that it was a giant portion, not even including the four pieces of pre-buttered toast. In hindsight I'm not sure how I polished this off and still managed to eat anything else the rest of the day, but perhaps that's the power and beauty of vacations. Very scrumptious though - if you're in the mood for a hearty, savory, dish, it's hard to go wrong with something like this. And at $9, the price point was one of the best I saw down the shore, though honestly a lot of them were pretty decent. Everyone else was pleased with their meals as well. In true diner fashion, Meg's had paper placemats with a collection of local business advertisements, which prompted a fun "I spy" game focused on the tinier objects in the pictures (try to find the dinosaur). We didn't have to wait particularly long for our meals, but that certainly helped pass the time a bit. On our way out, I literally got a parting gift. Meg's, like many establishments in a touristy area, has a line of apparel/merchandise for sale. I fell immediately in love with a blue long-sleeved shirt with a sasquatch on it, which was one of my prized mementos from this delightful shore excursion. And it's not cheap, coarse material rubbing against your skin that you regret purchasing the minute you put it on. It will be a part of my noble wardrobe for quite a while, I suspect. One of the reasons Jersey has such an affinity for its diners is because they're so easy, and I mean that in the best way. You're getting a predictable, consistent experience and typically ordering off a menu with a lot of options to choose from. It's nearly impossible not to find something you're in the mood for. This wasn't one of the more memorable places we stopped (apart from the sasquatch shirt), but it did what it was supposed to do, and that's most of the battle.

    We ended up here because there was an alternate evil-universe-looking Elmo standing outside handing…read moreout balloons. Also the sign said "pancake house", and I like my pancake houses local, not international. What was going to happen here? Anything could happen. All possibilities existed at the same time. The only constraint was the menu. Oh, the menu. Dammit. I had to follow the written rules of the restaurant when ordering. It was not the free-for-all I had in mind. But that's ok. That'll do. It'll be fine. I got some delicious french toast sticks, which is a superior medium for french toast, if we are being honest. They were slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the way a gourmand would envision when thinking about french toast. Being that I was in New Jersey (and mandated by state law), I ordered pork roll as a side. It wasn't the pac-man style cut, but the little corner cuts, which I prefer (though sometimes they look like an iron cross and that can be sketchy if the place had a German flag or something). The pork roll was cooked just the way I like it. A little crust, a deep color, and piping hot. We got a plate of fruit, which was...wow, I don't even know where to begin. It was a plate of fruit, sure, but it seemed super in-season and fresh. I mean, sure, it is blueberry season, and strawberry season just ended, but both were so perfect on this plate. Staff were super friendly, even the mirrior universe Elmo outside. I'd recommend this place for anyone, but it is probably really great for families with young kids.
