My yearly stop here never, ever disappoints. The same owner ~30 years and now under his son, has kept a high standard of fresh food, a sure clean environment and friendly, dedicated staff. Walking into this Roy Rogers is not like walking into any other franchise - it's still real Americana - the staff is friendly, country music is playing on the speaker, westerns on the TV monitor and everyone is speaking English; something really nice to experience again as we lose more and more of who we were. And all of this is a great appeal and draw to this place. See Americans - "Old School" can still be done.

The burger itself is their seasoned 6oz patty topped with provolone cheese, caramelized jack Daniel's onions, jack Daniel's sauce, crispy onion straws, and smoked applewood bacon. The burger comes on a freshly baked Reno onion bun with poppy seeds. The fries are also a must as they are extremely crisp, not oily, and topped off with my favorite old bay seasoning. You can't get better fries than that. Service is you order at the counter and wait for you food and pick it up. Pretty efficient even during the middle of a Saturday lunch rush. I loved this place as they also have gluten free options and a doggy menu! You can't beat their reasonable prices either.

The employees are all very friendly like you would expect from a small town, employees here are always quick to greet you and ask how you are, I've had conversation about food items, traffic, the weather, etc... It is a very nice location. Directly located off the parkway at exit 80. It has charging pumps for Tesla's and other electric vehicles, a gas station, free air and vacuums like any other wawa. The store and bathrooms are kept clean and organized nicely. I grew up in STR and honestly was alittle sad to hear such a popular store was coming to the little town because we all feared that it would severely hurt the 711 and little deli, but now that wawa is here. I absolutely love it. If you are in the area this is a wonderful wawa. ::Note:: I'm sad to see it had only one review (left by someone who didn't make much sense in their review) so I thought I would write one and shed some truth on the location.

They put on extra toppings, and tons of cheese! Loved their cheese. I could tell it was good quality! It was melted all over the pizza, and it truly was one of the best pizzas I've had in N.J.

I recently visited the Sea Girt location and got to watch some of the behind-the-scenes action, including the pizzas being stretched, assembled and going in and out of that incredible coal-fired oven. Seeing the process up close really makes you appreciate the flavor that comes from cooking pizza this way. We started with several appetizers, including the coal-fired wings, which were delicious. I especially loved that they were served with onions, and their blue cheese dressing was seriously SO good. I could have kept dipping those wings all night. The strawberry spinach salad was another favorite -- loaded with strawberries, blueberries, feta and hazelnuts. The hazelnuts added such a great crunch and really elevated the salad. The calamari was crispy and delicious, and of course, a generous squeeze of fresh lemon made it even better. The eggplant rollatini was delicate, traditional and really well done. And then came the pizza. The crust was very thin and light, with a delicious sauce and that beautiful char you get from a coal-fired oven. There's a distinct flavor and texture that comes from coal firing, and it really made the pizza stand out. I think Zoni's is one of those places that people in the area should have on their radar. If you love pizza, especially a thin, beautifully charred crust, this is definitely worth checking out. Zoni's has two locations, Sea Girt and Middletown, so you have options depending on where you are in Monmouth County. Come hungry and order the wings, get the calamari, and definitely save room for the pizza!
