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!

DON'T pick them up off the floor and put them on the customer's table to be eaten.. it's GROSS.. the server was nice, but they clearly have no clue about food service. Used to love this place.. but will NEVER be back I left a 5 star review because it's not the owner's fault.

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. Macaroni salad was one of the best I've had; simple. I would come back to try other things on their menu!

I was surprised to find that there's not a lot of delis down the shore (or at least in Asbury Park…read morearea). This is the exact kind of deli I was looking for. They do classic hot and cold subs, but they also have specialty subs where they do parms, wraps, etc. Great to pick up a sub and go to the beach. I enjoyed the American - which is roast beef, lettuce, tomato, provolone, onions, and horseradish mayo (which I left off and did oil and vinegar instead). Roast beef pretty soft in texture. Provolone could have been a little more sharp/flavorful. Overall, excellent spot.

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!

Yesterday, I was at Long Branch and saw this joint. curious about what it has to offer... is it the…read moresame as halal food guys or something else- let's try it- they have 3 options- Wrap PITA or Bowl Bowl does not have a rice option, it has something called couscous - don't know what it was, so did not try. I chose Pita bread - they spread 3 types of Hummuses (I chose Harissa, Tzatziki, and Zesty) with beans, spinach, Chicken Shawarma, toppings (Onions, cabbage, Beets, tomato, etc...), and dressing... you can choose whatever you want out of their spreads, proteins, toppings, hummus - it's cool...mind it- their hat sauce can be really hot. Sweet owners, helping you to choose cause let's accept it, it can be confusing sometimes. Yes, it was so messy while eating - but I loved it. On a busy day, there could be a cleanliness issue - just ignore it. they are trying their best. The portions are generous and very satisfying, and the menu is all very fresh and healthy. This is a great take-out spot that I recommend to everyone.

Stopped into Jack's Goal Line Stand in Long Branch, NJ for lunch and it ended up being the perfect…read morechoice. I went with the Steak Bite Lettuce Wraps ($18). It had blackened steak bites, fresh pico, and cheddar jack cheese, served inside crispy lettuce wraps with a side of their special rice. It was flavorful, however the juices were a little messy, but worth it. I also ordered the Spicy Cheeseburger Nachos ($19) to share. Good seasoning on the beef with jalapeños and onions, but note that it didn't come with sour cream or guac like traditional nachos but the cheese was layed. I washed everything down with a diet coke ($3.50). Service was ok, a little slow and it wasn't that busy. But no real complaints. The inside was huge and was a nice bar area and seating area in the back large enough for a dance floor. I have no doubt this place gets back. Loved the food, it was really that good, and would be back if I am in the area.

There are a lot of options, although I do wish there were a bit more honestly. I would have loved to have some sweet potatoes. And although they have many options, you have to pay a bit extra for them. I usually spend around $15 for everything, but it would be less if I didn't add Feta or Protein! Overall the quality is great and the service is wonderful, just wish they had more free options for toppings!
