On a search for a healthy-ish early dinner before a local event, Yelp brought me to Ocean Cafe! I…read morewas actually looking for a cafe/coffee shop that serves food, but luckily the "cafe" search added this spot to the list. They were not too busy when I stopped in, so I was able to get my order in right away. And I do have to say the woman that took my order was so kind and helpful! She even helped me track down another open spot to grab a coffee! I went with the salmon sandwich and it was SO GOOD!! Salmon was perfectly cooked and so flavorful and all of the sauces and other bits in it were delicious. It came on soft french bread with mango, avocado, dill, cucumber, tomatoes, mixed greens, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Kind of my perfect sandwich. They have half and whole sizes, the whole is most likely going to be perfect for two meals, if not one big and very filling meal. They are a block from the beach so I know parking can be tough in this area in the summer, but on a December weekday it was easy! The vibe inside is clean but very casual. Perfect for a quick, easy and delicious meal. Enjoy!

The Meg - Huge portion, easily split between two people. The buffalo was not too saucy and a little on the less than average amount of sauce. Chicken was plentiful and it can get messy.

Ok since my discovery of this place at the beginning of the beach season - I've been here every…read moretime I'm at Long Branch beach. While I don't live in the state it's only about an hour and a half drive for me so I try to go quite a bit. Not only is this place a great find it's been consistently good! My first experience here I got the wrap and can I just say it was a MONSTER sized wrap! Good thing it was chock full of great heathy food. Then my second visit I discovered the bowl!! Been getting that one ever since. So what exactly is hummus republic you may be asking if you've never been? Conceptually it's like a Chipotle where you order and choose your ingredients to make up your bowl/or wrap. The best part is there's so many options to choose from and the bad is that there's so many to choose from. How does one not decide to pick everything? It all looks really good and for the most part all fairly good or you! Fairly bc I think if you add the dressing that takes away from the healthiness factor and of course if you load up your bowl there's that. I know my eyes are always bigger than my stomach too! I know I'm going on endlessly about this place but it's really tasty and not to be missed! Here's the deal ... you can choose 3 scoops of different variations of hummus, veggies, proteins and the toppings! Can I just say toppings - go for the seasoned fried chickpeas (ok yes fried not so healthy). Kale w/pomegranate- yum!!! Ok I'll stop talking and just shared the pics and as always get there for your own gratification! Totally worth it!

The bowl gave us the perfect opportunity to try a little bit of it all. Staff member was friendly and did not skimp on toppings. We did 1/2 falafel and 1/2 mushrooms for the protein - both SO good. And the zesty feta is a must! The tahini milkshake was the icing on the cake... I'm not ever a fan of milkshakes but WOW - so creamy and delicious without being overly sweet - perfection... just don't look at the calorie count, lol!

I've stopped here for breakfast a few times. The place is somewhat seedy, but makes a great…read morebreakfast. One of the problems with breakfast, for me, is a lot of places drench everything with butter and salt... which most people seem to like. Not me, I like healthy, natural flavors. I have a couple times ordered their Jersey Girl omelette (tomatoes, asparagus, mozzarella, green onions), and it is made to perfection. Tasty, healthy, and not greasy. Just wonderful. The only thing that prevents me from rating 5 stars is that I was a little surprised that the eggs, which came with toast and potatoes (I had a banana instead), did not come with coffee, for which they charged $3.50 (hey, even Starbucks with their outrageous pricing charges only $2.45 for a cup of plain old coffee). But I would definitely recommend Beach Grille for an eggsellent breakfast!

Unfortunately, this was a truly disappointing experience. We were a family of three hoping for a…read morenice family-style dinner, but nearly every part of the meal and service fell short. Our waiter was difficult to understand and couldn't answer basic questions about the menu. The bread was so overbaked and hard we were worried about breaking a tooth. The shrimp appetizer was very good, although swimming in oil; the Iberico rib meat was greasy and came with raw garlic. When the plates were cleared, oil was spilled onto our table. Then we waited about 45 minutes for our entrees and eventually had to track someone down ourselves. We later discovered our waiter eating at the bar while we were waiting. The octopus was both charred and undercooked and far too salty. The nearly 3-inch-thick pork chop, ordered medium, was raw in the center. The "apricot brandy reduction" was essentially jam on top, and the potato chips were thick and underfried. The $37 pork chop was essentially inedible. Getting the check was another ordeal--we had to ask multiple times and were even brought another customer's check and credit card by mistake. There was no adjustment to our bill. After paying, we also had to wait to get our card back. The bartender did seem genuinely concerned when we told him what happened and ultimately offered 10% off a future visit, but after this experience, we certainly won't be returning. The shrimp were good and the bartender tried to help, but overall the food, service, and handling of the situation were far below what we expected.
