Lobster pancakes & cyclops a must! It felt great to support a local diner and the food does not disappoint. Classic diner vibe and lighthouse view. read more

Fine breakfast, nothing special. We heard Mustache Bill's was closing after this season, so thought we should experience it. Our server Pam was busy talking to anyone and everyone more so than focusing on her job. She convinced me to get a juice that I didn't originally order, then never brought it. Another server had to yell out to her from the kitchen to let her know our food was ready. All the other servers were on their game, but she was busy gossiping about everyone in town and a wedding she had been to. I wish we just had someone different, as we probably would have had a better experience. Food was fine. My blueberry pancakes were pretty light on the blueberries and not the best pancakes I've ever had. Corned beef hash was cooked well done as I requested - which is not always done well. Bacon egg and cheese had a lot of bacon, but home fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. There's definitely better places on the island to get breakfast, and at more reasonable prices. It wasn't that cheap given the volume and quality. read more

Low budget / low rent Service was fine ... Food meh Needs a total refresh But They do serve b fast all day Back room full of screaming kids .... Not the restaurant s fault . Not quality ... Bacon was cooked hours before & was greasy ; potatoes not hot, etc Even the Diet coke tasted bad , and no refills incl read more

Take a good look, because this place may not be here in the near future. There are not many of these New Jersey diner models still left to enjoy and nice breakfast like back in the 70s. Always a pleasure to visit when in town. read more

Pleasure to dine at Mustache Bill's. Went for breakfast today, we put our name down and only waited about 5 minutes but I've been told that's lucky. I ordered blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon and an iced coffee. Also tried the grits. Everyone else got some variation of pancakes as well. Everything was so so good and after ordering we only waited for about 10 minutes. Perfect diner food! The vibe was very laid back and old school. read more

Not only do they have the best breakfast in town, but the staff truly adds to the charm of this cozy diner. Everyone is warm and welcoming, but I have to give a special shoutout to Amy--one of the best waitresses we ever had! She always greets you with a big smile, remembers your usual order, and somehow makes every visit feel like you're coming home. Great food, even better people! read more

Had the orange juice and eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce had a hint of lemon which added to the benny. The potatoes were tasty and filling. The best part is the prices may be the best on LBI. A mu read more

This review was written, with a mustache. My mustache - in fact - was the largest seen in Mustache Bill's Diner all day! From the outside this diner has the look of a metal hangar or a silver-plated retro restaurant. Inside the digs were comfortable, fitting - with a large and wide galley - and non-adjustable seats with built-in cushions. The views were of town. The service by waitresses behind the counter - as can be viewed in the pictures attached - was slow and quite stuffy. My wait to get an order in took longer than waiting for the tides to change.. There was not much talk. The waitresses were simply at the bar themselves: eating while on shift. As a Yelp! customer how do you think this makes a diner appreciate the meal - when the waitress is herself busy stuffing her jowls? Come on. Waitresses should eat in the kitchen or AFTER. their work shift. Don't rest on the laurels of your food, drinks and shakes (awesome, tasty though they were..)! My Reuben sandwich was perfection and I shoved and gobbled as much as I could of it while it was still in a hot state. The fries were genuinely great! Soft yet crunchy-ended shoestrings with flavor. There were also kitchen help coming out up front to drink (they should stay in back). There were customers gawking and talking behind other patron's and waitresses backs (just don't). Really the wait staff just dropped the ball: plain + simple. Fantastic food. Moderate, beachy-vibe, expensive shakes type menu. Don't come to personalize the order - just eat your meal and drink and have an awesome beach day! Review: suave, cool interior - great food - grumpy underdressed waitresses. 5 star read more

Been coming here for decades- hands down best real food...real turkey, real meat.... Quality every time.

Excellent food at affordable prices. The Servers are very pleasant and attentive. It is Cash Only, which is fine, if you know that beforehand. read more

Nothing earth shattering but a decent omelette and portion for the price. Service was quick and waitress was pleasant. Overall no complaints just not sure I would go running back. Note that this place is Cash only. (Which I strongly dislike... we are in the 21st century people!) read more

We came for breakfast and should have read the reviews first and ordered either the French toast or hot cakes. I got the cream chipped beef and hubs got the two eggs, grits and ham. Both were good - not spectacular. It's cash only and plan on a wait unless you get here when it opens at 6am. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday's and only open until 3 I will definitely come back and try the hot cakes or stop for lunch as they had a lot of interesting lunch choices. read more

Good food, friendly service, an old favorite from days gone by! First time I've been there in years, and it was just like I remembered!

The best shore diner!! Our server was great and this was exactly the kind of late Sunday vibe we needed. We loved the hot ham and cheese and the omelets. read more

Pancakes are undoubtedly the best on the island and quite possibly the best I've ever had. Everything is made fresh to order. Eggs are always cooked perfectly. You won't find a better breakfast on LBI. That all being said, this place gets VERY busy. Like there will be people waiting outside from 9am-noon busy. There is almost always a wait. I would recommend calling ahead of time and seeing if you can get put on the waitlist if you plan on eating there. Also cash only. read more

Great food. And service my wife and I love to go eat breakfast at this place always fresh. read more

Historic diner on n BL. Great breakfast! If you go with kids, and they aren't too busy, they will make pancakes in the shape of different characters. The wait staff are terrific and they are always welcoming. read more

This is my favorite diner. I don't go down to the beach often, but when I do we always make sure to stop at Mustache Bills. The blueberry pancakes are so fluffy and absolutely outstanding. The clam chowder is also a must try. Everything here is great and I love the classic diner atmosphere and the view of the lighthouse. read more

Great nostalgic diner experience with great service. I like that the diner caters to families. Delicious pancakes made in various shapes but would prefer butter (instead of margarine). read more

Great diner! Great service and great food. It's been around for years and always is great. Very popular so bring your patience and cash only. read more

New fav breakfast spot on LBI!!! Our server (Amy) was PHENOMENAL!! Such a sweetheart and absolutely hilarious. Super attentive too despite the rush!! The interior is very cute and the food was spectacular. 10/10 read more

Mustache Bills serves good quality (but not great) food with some inconveniences -- such as cash only. Stopped here the other day and the pancakes were a big hit but my wife and I both felt our eggs tasted yukky. Maybe the grill wasn't clean or they sprayed something that got absorbed into the eggs. Disappointing because I paid over $13 for an omelette and didn't eat much of it. I guess it's best to stick with the pancakes. read more

Old school fairly small neighborhood diner, Friday to Sunday only and seasonal (from Mother's Day Weekend in 2022). There are some tables available outside as well. Excellent (all day) breakfast. Fast and friendly service. Cash only. read more

A must stop if your on LBI. Be prepared to wait in the sun once season hits, benched provided . Very clean and bright. Excellent pancakes and omelettes, have not tried the French toast but sure looks good. Good coffee and corn muffin. I think they were on the Food Networks Diner, Dives and Drive Inn's a while back. Kind of a landmark. read more

What a wonderful Diner! My mom and I had breakfast together and the food was perfect. It's exactly what a real New Jersey diner is supposed to be. A mixture of locals and people just passing through town visiting. The staff is extra nice and greet you with a smile when you come through the door. They had daily specials up on the board and also a long list of omelettes that you can choose from in the menu. For the diner being completely full the food still came out pretty quickly and exactly what we ordered. My mom and I both got omelettes which were cooked perfect with lots of filling in them. We also shared a side of cinnamon raisin bread french toast. So good! I highly recommend coming here when you're in the area for a really good meal. read more

This place is a hidden treasure. The staff was super friendky, and even told me what the specials were for the next day. Eggs Benedict with lox! Omg so delicious. Will definitely go there again. read more

Food is excellent and highly recommend the pancakes. Service is great. Wish it was opened all year round

Absolutely love Mustache Bill's. Been coming for years, not as a regular, but as a summer visitor. We always go "early". Before 9am and walk right in. Kids (now teens) still order the shaped pancakes. Fantastic breakfast sandwiches. Usual diner fare. Show up "late" on a weekend in the summer, like everyone else.....yeah you will have to wait, but it's breakfast and moves. Plan accordingly and get here!! Like most of Barnaget Light, CASH only. read more

Hands down the best diner in ALL of NJ. Where else can you get a James Beard award winning breakfast or lunch? And their pancakes might be the best in the country if I had a vote. read more

3.5 Stars Decided to venture here on a Sunday drive with my wife. Great location on the northern most point of Long Beach Island. I've heard all of the buzz from DD&D about the creamed chipped beef, but on arrival I was torn between that and the cream cheese and scallion omelet (one of my favorite combinations). The waitress was very helpful and told me to order the omelet and she would bring out a cup of the creamed chipped beef to try over my home fried potatoes (she didn't even charge for the generous sampling). Everything tasted good and the coffee had just the right amount of kick. I had a bite of my wife's blueberry pancakes which were chocked full of whole blueberries...very tasty. After breakfast we ventured to the top of the nearby lighthouse to work off some of the calories. I would recommend this iconic diner to anybody wandering close to Long Beach Island. P.S. CASH ONLY! read more

Great local diner for breakfast or lunch! Everything is delicious and it's worth the wait.

Classic, old school diner. However, very tasty! Omelettes are big and delicious. Better than your average omelette for sure. Blueberry French toast is excellent too. My only complaint is staff does not wear gloves, which I am usually okay with as they are not the ones making the food. However, they do butter the toast with no gloves which I was a bit taken back by. read more

After visiting the lighthouse, my girlfriend and I asked the ladies in the museum for a breakfast recommendation in the area. They both immediately name dropped Bill's. After eating there I can see why. It's an intimate little restaurant great for a cheap and quick breakfast. The ladies also mentioned that you can ask for your pancake in just about any shape you'd like, and Bill himself will make it. My girlfriend took that as a challenge and when ordering asked for a Darth Vader shaped pancake. To our surprise, when her pancake came out, it was instantly recognizable as Kylo Ren. (Wrong Star Wars villain but close enough) He even had a lightsaber. We were beyond impressed. Only complaint is that the place is cash only. Which is especially frustrating when the closest ATM across the street isn't functioning. But if you have the cash, PLEASE check this place out and ask for a custom pancake. read more

Classic family beach diner! Went for the first time last weekend on Sunday. There was a 20 minute wait for our party of 6+baby when we got there at 1:45pm. I got The Popeye and OHMYGOD best decision I made all weekend. A spinach wrap with shrimp, mozzarella, garlic, and spinach. I didn't know the whole wrap was going to come warm but I'm so glad it did -- it really made the wrap different than anything I've ever tried. My mouth is watering as I write this... Like most places on the island, it's cash only so come prepared because they don't have an ATM. Final note - You know the place has to be great if Guy Fieri has been there for "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives"! read more
