The person on the phone was kind of rude, but it seemed like she just wasn't hearing us so we really didn't think anything of it. When we got there to pick it up, she was very rude and said she told us she was closing and basically walked out the door, handing us our food. It was unbelievable.

The chicken cacciatore was over cooked with enormous amounts of green peppers. Giving this place a rest as this was the second poor meal in the past two trips.

We spend every weekend down the shore from April to November and have 1 if not 2 meals there each weekend and we are NEVER disappointed. We miss it during the Winter and will make the 2 hour trip just for Sunday dinner. Each meal is prepared with care, intention, and tastes just like our family's recipes. It is so delicious. Order a fresh classic plain pie or one of their whole wheat crust pies, you will not be disappointed. Let's continue with more favorites; the rice balls, classic spaghetti and meatballs, pasta e fagioli soup... we can't leave without ordering and tend to over order then over eat happily. Don't forget to end your meal with a perfectly made cappuccino! The music, the smiles and waves from behind the counter when they are preparing the dough, it's a vibe we can't wait to feel each week. See you next Sunday.

The menu looked pretty good, but I was only there for a quick stop in. So I only had an order of wings. The wings were very good. I would recommend them. I look forward to coming back to this place and trying a lot more stuff. The service was very pleasant. It is located in the same parking lot as a driving range and a miniature golf so it has a lot to offer overall if you're looking for something to do and then stopping in for something to eat or a drink. I will be trying this again for sure. Looking forward to making a new review with much more detail on the food

I want to warn others that Calloway's is charging a 3% "processing fee" on debit card transactions…read more It is important for customers to know that in New Jersey, surcharging debit cards is not permitted under the law. Check for yourself, a quick search on Gemini or Grok yields the same response "No, it is generally not legal for a NJ restaurant to charge a 3% fee on a debit card transaction, even if they label it as a "credit card" fee." When I questioned the manager about this, I was met with excuses rather than a resolution. Point is that management can help prevent this by adding the debit card fee everywhere the rule is posted. It is clear this practice is about padding the restaurant's bottom line rather than covering costs. While our server was wonderful and not at fault, the management's lack of transparency is unacceptable. I like Callaway's but don't like their management who take no responsibility in rectifying this simple problem.

It appears to be reasonably newly remodeled, but the air conditioning was nonexistent. Sweating in my seat was not comfortable. The server seemed to have a bit of a chip on her shoulder. It took a extended period of time for her to return just to place our initial order setting that aside we figured we are good to go 45 minutes later we finally got our two eggs over easy with sides couldn't be much more simple than that 45 minutes. Wait was insane. They were not busy either. So to the most important part of the food we waited 45 mns for. 2 eggs over easy came out over hard. The sausage was sitting on the grill too long clearly potato's just ok. Sour dough toast was pretty good but at this point we are already sour on this location. I have noticed a lot of people complain about the pricing but I didn't see it as too crazy until we ended up sitting in a diner for over an hour. With the above avg prices at least do a good job. The table next to us ordered an eggs Benedict and there were no eggs on it! I thought they were kidding but nope. Table across from us left prob 35mns before us and the table was still not clear. Terrible. Maybe just an unfortunate day and things happen but this had so many levels of bad I will not be giving it another shot sorry.

Having been in the pizza business for many years, I have not tried the pizza locally, but now that I am I have to say Rays is my favorite. Good crust and cheese, sauce is not too sweet and the crust is thin and the pizza is not undercooked..... yay!!! Wings are really great and I love the variety of flavors for the wings so you never have to get bored. read more

The pizza after 20 minutes of waiting asked where it was we told still on the way there were tickets in front. Asked to at a minimum get a slice for our 1 year old and 6 year old and was ignored. Threw tickets in my face showing me other pizza that were put in at 6:27 and ours was at 6:31. I explained how he further proved my point as those came out of the oven 5 minutes earlier. He continued to not care and decide to open the public trash is as customers and how wrong we were. A shameful respect for customers.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Cheese, Pepperoni, Sausage and Mushrooms slices were HUGEEEE! Some of the biggest pizza slices I've seen, anywhere. Quality of the pizza was average - typical boardwalk/beach pizza, but it hit the spot if you're just looking for decent pizza. - Cheese Fries were overly salty and, unfortunately, the cheese was on the side instead of smothered all over the top. + Menu was simple with 4 types of slices (cheese, pepperoni, sausage, mushroom) and extra toppings listed for $4 each. They also sold 5 different 18" pies as well (tomato, cheese, clams, works and white). THE SERVICE ------------------- + No frills, quick ordering through a window. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Outdoor picnic table seating available right next to the pizzeria in an outdoor shed and also some bar seats to the left of the ordering window. - No private parking lot. Parking is strictly on the street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Was busy EVERYTIME we passed by, irrespective of what time of the day it was. We came by at 12:45 PM on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend and there was a consistent short line. At some points, the outdoor seating in the shed got full too and some folks had to wait. = When picking up slices, a gentleman will just yell your name out and slide the heated slices on a long pizza peel over to the pickup window, so be ready when they call you! = Red pepper flake and garlic powder shakers are located by the pickup window.
