Cute little corner diner in Point Pleasant! The wait staff did a nice job keeping the booths clean. Unfortunately, the service was not great at all. No refills on water, and pretty much ignored after we placed our order. Had to go to the front desk to collect and pay our bill. Never saw the server again. Food was just ok. Good fries! BUT terrible burgers! Over cooked and just bland. No flavor. And the buffalo chicken sandwich was not great. It just tasted like pepper. Couldn't really discern much else . Just an overwhelming taste of pepper like someone dumped a pepper shaker on it. We're local, but there are a lot of terrific places nearby that are much better. So while we wanted to like this new place, the food quality is going to have to really improve for us to want to come back. The bakery side looked yummy btw, so willing to give that a try one day. read more

Beautiful new place in point pleasant. Food was really tasty, but unfortunately our service was not great. We waited 15 mins to get served, food took a while to come out, and didn't receive any drinks until our food came. However, it seemed like this only happened to us. So maybe it was more of an issue with our server as opposed to the restaurant. Service alone was really bad (restaurant wasn't busy either) but the food was so good as well as the ambiance so I have to give this place 3 stars. I would be willing to give this place a second chance because of the food but hopefully next time the service would be better. read more

The location is great as well as the food, drinks and Amazing service. My parents who live in Point Pleasant Beach went with me for breakfast and it was definitely not our last time going. I'm bringing my husband here too. Thumbs up to the chef and waitress. read more

What an amazing addition to Point Pleasant! The restaurant is clean and bright and the service is top notch. Best part is the food is fantastic. I stopped by in the morning and grabbed a breakfast sandwich and a coffee from the awesome market next to the main restaurant. Coffee was great, homemade cold brew and homemade cold foam both fantastic. The breakfast sandwich was cooked perfectly, everything you'd expect from a jersey classic pork roll, egg and cheese. For lunch I had the fried chicken sandwich and I can honestly say I have not had a chicken sandwich that juicy and tasty in a really long time. I also stole a bite of the steak sandwich which was also great. Cannot wait to stop by again soon and try more things on the menu! read more

Order was all wrong, sandwiches had way too much bread, and service for takeout took forever. Lots of people standing around. Not going back, Very disappointing. read more

Pop's Corner is an amazing Breakfast or Brunch spot! I cannot wait to come back and try everything on the menu. The chicken is seasoned to perfection, just enough spice to satisfy the Cajun lovers, but mild enough for those intolerant to spice. The waffle is fluffy and cooked to perfection. Yummmmm read more

Great atmosphere, great service and great breakfast. Anytime you walk into a diner with a toddler, you never know how the staff will react. The service was great, attentive and very personable. The food was served fast and hot. Would highly recommend this place and will be back next time in town. read more

We were so excited to try this new spot in Point Pleasant! There was no wait on a Sunday morning, and the service was great. We were impressed by the size of the menu. The French toast definitely deserves a shout out- it was delicious!! read more

The pastry are so fake tasting, they use weird flavoring and so much sugar. I can't get over the sugar taste. Similar to what you would get at Walmart. I am letting you know you can get it once and you will know exactly what i am speaking of. The muffins at wholefoods or wegmans taste so much better for quarter of the price . People are being fooled cause they think there is nothing else around. read more

Food was okay. Service okay. Food could be better in flavor. Service could be more friendly and attentive. I love coffee but their coffee was ok. Tried it and wouldn't go back. read more

Always willing to try something new. Tried this place and assumed it would be your standard diner food. Plate of eggs and toast slid out in front of you with a cup of stale coffee accompanied by a fake smile from a wearied server...... boy was I wrong. The server was attentive towards ours and our children's needs (knowing the parent code). The food was unconventional, perfectly cooked and adequately portioned. Head over for some delicious breakfast/lunch. read more

Food tastes terrible. only one waitress for the entire restaurant so service was slow. even the baked goods on the bakery side were nasty. Better off going to Simona's bakery. Don't waste ur time at this place. read more

Excellent food, beautiful decor, kid friendly banquettes! Their coffee is great! They have a bakery at the same location and everything looks delicious, can't wait to go back! read more

Pop's Corner has become my go-to spot for brunch! The food, ambiance and service are all top-notch. When we were arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff and sat almost immediately. Once sat, we were quickly asked if we wanted anything to drink, and let me tell you, if you're looking for a great cup of coffee then this is the place to go! Pop's is serving some of the best coffee I have ever had. The menu is vast and has tons of options depending on your mood (breakfast or lunch). My wife had an incredible egg omelet and I had the Monte Cristo. The food came out fast and each dish was incredibly balanced and we can't wait to go back. I also recommend stopping by the market. We grabbed a coffee (cause one cup of that delicious brew was simply not enough) and some chicken salad on the way out. Highly recommend this new Point Pleasant gem! read more

I wish I lived a little closer but I still go out of my way to get their delicious coffee drinks and egg salad. The place is beautiful and although I've only tried the take out market side I cannot wait to try the restaurant itself. I tried their egg salad while I was there and got two more containers to go. It's a must try read more

Great gluten free options! It's wonderful to find a place that has delicious gluten free options both in the restaurant and in the bakery. We came for brunch and I had the avocado toast on gluten free bread and it was so tasty! Then on our way out I got a gluten free chocolate chip cookie from the bakery to save for later, and it was the best gluten free cookie I've ever had! Gave my friend a piece and they couldn't believe it was gluten free! Definitely recommend and we can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu!!! read more

Ended up leaving after 10 minutes of no service, cute establishment, but bad service when it comes to being served and given coffee or water to drink read more

Had dinner there tonight. Started with the shishito peppers - delicious and plentiful! Then had the scallops over risotto. Cooked perfectly and were wonderful. Service was good and place is nice, clean and a joy! We will be back. read more

I came into Pops corner because I work from home and was looking for a new spot to get out of my house and have a nice working lunch. As soon as I walked in I loved the atmosphere, it was super clean, bright, coastal, and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious and service was on it as soon as I sat down. I started with the chicken noodle soup and the stock was super good and the noodles weren't too much - loved the broth. I also really love the pico de gallo and queso fresco on the avocado toast- the eggs were perfectly cooked over easy and the yolk melted into the yummy sourdough. I finished off with a chai latte to go. I'll definitely be back! Thank you for an awesome experience. read more

I feel bad for this place!! My husband and our family comes to point pleasant every summer and last year we were at Pop's multiple times a week! When we came down to the shore this year one of the things my husband and son looked forward to most was the food and experience they had to start their days off. Let me stop ANYONE who thinks this is the same this year. When we arrived this year everything was completely different, a whole bakery ( I'm not complaining about that~delicious) which leaves absolutely no room for any waiting guests! And I promise there will be a wait! On top of that when we finally did get seated we had a waitress I believe her name was Jordan or something like that, she seemed rushed and didn't have any idea what was going on. Drinks took FOREVER and when we were finally served our food everything came out messed up! My son didn't have chocolate chips in his pancakes, my husband with a completely different dish than he ordered. To say the least it was a huge disappointment! Management seemed to not care when we expressed our concerns to him. Just apologized quickly and we felt very blown off! Definitely will not be coming back to this establishment!! read more

This place has the potential to be so good. The food is inconsistent but we have had some good stuff. We've tried it a few times and want to love it, but the biggest downside is that the service is extremely lacking. Takes forever to be greated, drinks take even longer. Seems like everytime there has only been one waitress, yet multiple other people are standing around while the waitress struggles. We won't be back. read more

OK, at first we had only planned to get ice cream at Hoffman's while visiting friends at the shore. But we hadn't been to Point Pleasant Beach in a while, walked around a bit, got hungry and spotted the clean white outlines of what turned out to be a brand new spot. Friendly staff and great-looking inside. For a new place, you'd expect a glitch or a dropped ball but overall we were very happy and they had it together. I went for the "serious" steak sandwich; this is more than a cheesesteak, and cheesier too. Meat was tender, not chewy, and the mix of cheeses was tasty. My wife had the pastrami reuben on rye and was happy with it. I had a taste of the pastrami and it was quite good. Not Katz's, but hey...it was good. We shared some of the house-made chips and like them also. Staff was always willing and did a nice job answering questions, if they didn't know they went to find out. We browsed around the little market on the other side. Small selection of gifts that'd be good to bring if you're visiting, and a good choice of food to-go that you could take home, to the beach, wherever. Recommended. read more

Awesome new spot in Point. Farmhouse Hash Bowl with two over easy eggs is a home run of a breakfast. Great service, highly recommend.

A very clean and friendly environment. Very kid friendly and welcoming. Love the food and would highly recommend to everyone.

Nice newly remodeled place. Friendly but unskilled service. Rather overpriced lunch. Small steak sandwich on a mini role w/fries and ice tea - $22. read more

Beautiful restaurant and cute store attached. Delicious, fresh food with friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and very little wait. Open all year so great for renters and locals. read more

Food, service and atmosphere are all great! The chicken soup was homemade an delicious. The cheesesteak is definitely something everyone should order, too. Great business. read more

The food is just ok and the prices are a bit high. Our waitress was great and the inside has been updated for a more modern feel.

Overall great experience!! From quality food and selection (loved the shallots in the fresh made crab cakes ) to attentive and knowledgeable staff. The restaurant has a simple yet stylish decor which completes the experience. Also enjoyed the little market attached with fun pick up items for the home or a restless child. One last thing to mention...no detail missed in this establishment they even stocked the restrooms with disposable baby changing pads and for safe and clean diaper changes. read more

Went here for lunch. Place has been remodeled and is clean. Food was good. Negatives were we had the worst waitress in the place. She disappeared for twenty minutes. Had to wait for refills on drinks after our food was just about finished. Ordered the home made chips. They were stale. Had to send them back. Also I thought $15 for a regular omelette was a little high. May go back not sure yet. read more

Great service. Warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was well prepared. The gift shop is adorable. I will recommend to friends and family and be back again. read more

Great friendly service and great food! Taste buds get a treat.Menu selection is varied. We highly recommend this place! About 3 mins from the beach by car. read more

We had a family breakfast at Pop's Corner and unanimously agreed it was great. The restaurant is spacious, bright and very clean. The wait staff was courteous and attentive. The service was quick and the beat part was the food that we all agreed was prepared to perfection. Everything was fresh and delicious. We'll be back soon and often. read more

the hostess was eating breakfast and seemed annoyed when I asked for a booth. waitresses were overwhelmed and needed help while the hostess sat. wouldn't go back she should have gotten up and helped bad business! read more
