We went with a bunch of family and friends to see the band OnThe Rocks, I was pretty disappointed that I asked for a burger outside and was told they don't serve them but later saw at least 3 people with burgers , the server was good and the calamari a as great. The band was great , I like the outdoor setting in the sand , we had a good time read more

I expected mediocrity walking in here going by word of mouth and lukewarm reviews. That's not what I got last night. RR us big. Right off of Rt. 70 on the Manasquan River over looking a marina, it's in a very nice location. Two large square bars and plenty of tables. A couple of buddies and myself sat at the bar. It was a Tuesday night, not too crowded, and were handed Tuesday happy hour specials from Marie our cordial bartender. The three of us split an order of fried calamari. It was hot and fresh, served in one of those fried taco bowl thingies; very good especially the tentacles! I had their $6 - 12" bar pie; thin crust and delicious. Service excelled. A very good night. read more

Really great experience here...nice menu with lots of options including vegetarian and pescatarian. Everything was delicious. We ordered Mama Rock pizza, caprese salad, pesto salmon, fish tacos, and fried grouper sandwich with fries. Everything was delicious. Drinks were refreshing and creative. Service was absolutely top notch. Friendly and efficient. And the view can not be beat. Highly recommend! read more

River Rock - View from our table - Seafood Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

Saturday night the crowd was nice, the music was descent and the staff was friendly. I didn't like that they charge a $10 cover charge though and even though I liked the music, the mixes were a little too much. They kept mixing songs into other songs so that was annoying that we couldn't enjoy one full song ... overall I liked the place and I would def be back. read more

I called this place, the host said they were letting people in for another 20 minutes. My friend and I got there within 6 minutes and the big bouncers violently screamed at my friend and I (female's) to "get the fuck out you children". When we told them what the host said they said, "we don't care, we're security. Get the fuck out". They then proceeded to physically push my friend and I out (we're 5'3 sober girls) out of the establishment. When I asked the on security guard to speak to me respectfully, he called my friend and I "little kids". My friend and I are 27 year old females. I am a lawyer and my friend works in a hospital. We are both extremely respectful people. The whole situation was beyond ridiculous AND it was my friend's birthday! When we respectfully asked to speak to a manager, the bouncer and the female accompanying them yelled at us to "get the fuck out right now before we throw you out". I can guarantee if the owner watched the cameras in establishment he will confirm everything in this review. We will not only never come back, but we will never recommend this place! Cheers. read more

It's very unfortunate that River Rock has gone downhill I arrived there at 4 this afternoon Party of Five I explained to the waitress I do not want to be rushed we got our appetizer we weren't even halfway done and our salad came and then as we were eating I didn't even get to eat my salad our two dinners came we had 2 children with us we had to ask three times for their dinner to be given to them after going to the manager to that point I'm just very disappointed the waitress I didn't even want a tip her but I did because I have waitressed before she deserves not a dime but I did tip her and I have to add it was so loud we couldn't even hear each other talk and it was only at 4 in the afternoon I can understand after 8 or 9 but not 4 in the afternoon I do not think I will be going back there again but this is only my opinion read more

Love coming in the summer! Nice outdoor patio seating with nice views of the marina and Manasquan River. Excellent wings, cheesesteaks, and burgers and a giant menu of other entrees. Gets crowded of course and even with the large parking lot you'll be circling around the lot so plan accordingly. Always have live music going on making this a great hangout spot. read more

Outside bartenders are rude!! if you don't tip after each drink (as it is cash only outside) they stop serving you and bad mouth you to other customers!! We have always tipped at the end of the outing, and will continue to do so!!, Too bad for her today 10/28/2023 you would have known that we are very very generous and look for opportunity to appreciate people!! Her loss!!! Nice Job, nasty Shannon!!! read more

Came here for a rehearsal dinner, wedding after party and then again for brunch all in one weekend. The place is deceptive - from the outside, it doesn't look like much, but when you walk in the place is huge with lots of tables, TVs and a huge outside area. For the rehearsal dinner, we were seated in the back area, so it was quieter than the main dining area. The food was good, my steak was cooked to perfection. Wait staff was friendly. On Saturday night after the wedding (around 11:30pm) the place was wild. It's exactly what people think of when they think of stereotypical bars in Jersey. Loud DJ, dance floor, lots of teased hair and eyeliner, GTL to the max, even in winter. Its crowded but you still have room to walk around. The bathroom was actually VERY clean. We stayed until last call, and had a blast. On Sunday, we came for brunch. There was a buffet, the food was average - some things were good, others not so great. BF got a Bloody Mary, not good. All tomato juice, no spice. I'd definitely come back here to watch a game, with a big group (the menu was extensive and has something for everyone) and during the summer. The outside area looked fantastic, it was just too cold in November. read more

Very poorly managed. The place looks like it's run by a bunch of kids. It's very unorganized. If you put your name in, and you're told a half hour, it could very well be two! This is the second and last time for this place. I've owned my own business for 35 years, and if it were run like this place, I'd be out of business read more

Decent for bar food and have food specials on week days. The food isn't anything super special but it's not a bad meal. A little pricey but it's the area. Let's talk about how horribly the crowd has changed on Friday and Saturday nights though. I'm a local and have been going to River Rock for years. Used to be a decent crowd with a few people getting liquid courage here and there but being promptly dealt with by security. Now on a Friday and Saturday night I won't even go there with a group of my girlfriends. It's literally the scummiest/sleaziest group of men both young and old preying on women super aggressively... fights constantly, and absolutely no discretion at the front door as far as who gets in. Brick revoked their privilege to stay open until 3am on Saturday into Sunday mornings due to the absolute nonsense that happens there that requires police involvement. Basically whoever gets blacklisted or kicked out of Beacon/Shore House winds up at River Rock. read more

We ordered 2 pizzas, a soup, fish tacos, 2 salads, and a steak sandwich. Delivery of food was awful. The tacos and soup came out first. 15 mins later we got the 2 pizzas. Another 10 mins later we finally got the salads and the sandwich. Kitchen needs serious help getting food out at the same time. Pathetic. Food all though was good, the timing was enough to make me think twice about eating here again. Sad. This never used to be the way it was. Saddest part.. nobody seemed to care. read more

I'm a local who has been coming to this restaurant for years with my family. Never had any complaints until last night. Decided to come out for drinks with my sister. The bartender (a lady ) was the most disrespectful person I have ever met. Her tone and attitude was the worst. I have never experienced this kind of service especially here. I immediately went and ask to speak to the manager (Anthony). Who actually spoke with me on private and listen to concerns and issues. (Very nice guy who needs to possible offer his bartenders a class on how to speak to people) Would I come back absolutely. However if she's the bar I would not spend a quarter with her. read more

Rode up to Pt. Pleasant for the afternoon with our group. Stopped at River Rock for a nice lunch. Indoor and outdoor seating, we sat outside. Plenty of umbrella tables to sit under. Service was quick and efficient. Our server was really nice. There was a 2 man band playing which was cool. I had the tuna melt and side salad. The tuna melt was delicious! Side salad not so great. It was just iceberg lettuce (a bit wilty) and a tomato. Lost a star for that. Otherwise a really good place by the water to eat and relax with friends. Would return. read more

Always busy yet still they manage to get the food out fast! There are so many different seating areas, it's amazing that the kitchen can handle it all. Must have a great system. Excellent bartenders. Fun lively place! read more

first off - a pretty solid place and experience with solid food. started with outdoor seating but wind and rain forced us indoors with no issues. we sat and had our order taken by a pleasant young lady - very patient and kind. started off with spinach and artichoke dip - 8/10. hot and came out not too long after ordering. i do wish the order came with more chips for the price but so be it. for my entree, i got chicken parmigiana over penne vodka and it was a very large portion. taste was nothing fancy but a sturdy 7/10. it came with a buffalo chicken soup - 8.5/10. both came out hot and fresh. my gf got a veggie burger with fries (on a gluten free bun - so happy to have that option and it tasted good). it wasn't anything special but still solid - 6.5/10. fries were great - 8/10. slightly on the pricey side, but understandable with the location on the water and sizable portions. (also had tuesday trivia towards the second half of the meal - which was loud but also a fun thing) will be back. thanks! read more

This place is (was) sentimental to me. I grew up a half mile away. Fell in the Manasquan river there with my bicycle when I was 10 and had my first beer there when I was 21. Unfortunately over the years it has gone down hill and the last time I went there was the worst. To start with they charged me a cover even though I told them I was there to have dinner. When I was eating the manager stopped by the table and I mentioned about the cover charge. She said I should have asked for a manager but personally I think their staff should know not to charge a dinner customer a cover charge. Then things got worse. Basically the food wasnt good, wasnt plated nicely and the condiments were in paper (or plastic) cups. The worst part was that several staff stood around my table watching the TV that was behind me. They didnt seem to understand that my dirty looks meant for them to go away and let me "dine" in peace. I have pictures of them standing around me. If I can attach them to this review I will. Years ago this was a nice restaurant and bar but it's become just a place for Mustangs to work and drink with basic bar food on the side. What a waste of a good location, from my point of view. read more

Luckily my update is a happy one. Since Superstorm Sandy, River Rock has become one of our favorite local spots for cocktails, appetizers, pub grub and wouldn't you know...coal fired pizza! The bar area is completely renovated and it's much more spacious and comfy. Two large bars and a small corner bar. Our favorite menu items; calamari (best around!), clam chowder, steamed clams, all of their burgers and of course their delicious thin crust pizza. We are thrilled to have River Rock just a hop, skip and a jump from our home and we will continue to enjoy their fabulous food, drinks and entertainment! read more

River Rock - Seafood Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

We have tried and tried.... The food has gotten better over the past year but we have had enough. Where do I begin? Bartender doesn't carry a drink I ordered 10 min prior. Gives me an attitude when I asked for something else since she couldn't find the bottle... 45 minute wait for a pizza w/ complementary hairs in it. Everyone is thirsty.. Waitress shows up another 30 minutes later. The staff are too busy on a Wednesday night dancing inside to cater to their guests. Management, get it together!!! My final straw. read more

Take it as a sign when every Yelp review is 2 stars. The place has a great location right on the marina but that is it. Food-The food was okay. Edible but not great. My burger was cooked to specs. A friend got the veggie wrap and said that it was just okay. Same thing with the tuna melt sandwich, mussels, and shrimp. Food is about what you would expect from Friday's. Service-I understand our server was a girl in high school but it was absolutely horrible. We waited forever for our dirty dishes to be taken away and never even got asked if we wanted refills. I wanted to try something different down the shore and won't be returning. read more

More of a sports bar than a restaurant, with plenty of televisions to watch the game and a great view of the marina and river. Go to watch the game at the bar but don't expect anything special when it comes to their menu. Pizza was not very good with a very floppy crust, The burgers are fine although the temperature requested did not register with the cook and came out more well done then medium. Fries crispy if you eat them in the first two minutes and then go very soggy. Clam chowder tasted good although could not find the clams, and the price for a dozen oysters was cheap but unfortunately the quality and taste was as good as the price. We were there for a weekend lunch. Perhaps the dinners are much better. Great place for beer and football! read more

River Rock - Nice day! - Seafood Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

These reviews don't do this place justice. Looking at it from the outside entrance, this place doesn't look like much. As you walk in you realize how big the place is, they also have an extensive outdoor seething area with water views. And additional outdoor bars. Staff was busy but polite and smiling. The menu is extensive. Everything we ordered was good. It's not McDonald's, so don't expect your good to come out in 5 mins. If you have a boat you can dock and come right in. Maybe one day..... Will definitely come back! read more

Rude staff and terrible service. Bartender talks to you as if you just flushed her grandmothers ashes down the toilet. Also reserved a private room after a wedding for a few hours and they turned us away for being no more than 5 minutes late. Just a flat out dump of a place. read more

Few things to note about my experience: -waiter took forever to come to the table -bloody marys are very small and wayyyyyyyy too spicy. I'm a fan of things with a kick but it was not enjoyable. -I got the pulled pork sandwich which was mediocre. It was somewhat dry and could have used more BBQ sauce. I paid $1.50 extra for sweet potato fries instead of regular and was disappointed. The assortment of fries on my plate were clearly the bottom of the barrel. They really should have tossed them and given me fries out of their new batch. Sucha bummer. Upside: The atmosphere, which is why this place seems to be doing well. I sat outside on the patio while I had my lunch and it was really nice. The reason for my three star rating is mostly because it has the outside waterfront seating to offer. Eating on the water always makes your experience better. read more

Been here a couple of times the food is horrible!! The only thing saving this the pleasant atmosphere and the staff is nice. I will never understand why these shore restaurants think it is ok to serve horrible food and just rely on the atmosphere. read more

Loved the tiki bar area and the live music. The tiki bar area is cash only for drinks but you can purchase food with a credit card. Love the vibe outside! We are definitely planning on going back to this establishment. read more

Can't speak of the food but the hostess are horrendous. Can't be organized at all. Nobody above and told we are the first big table to get seated. People come in after us with one less and seat before us. Table was able to seat us. Ignorant girl didn't comprehend the question. Shame place was good in the past but need to do better training on the hostess staff. read more

This place used to be CRAP the new owners have created a place you want to go to over n over again. We started at the tiki bar the best LI ice tea I have had in a long time. All the people servers & guests are friendly & chat. A great bar is social & invites interaction. After cocktails we had a light dinner on the deck. Watching the boats on the river is romantic. The food is really good prepared well & served hot. I am saddened that summer is gone & will look forward to spending next spring & summer having fun & making memories at the river rock ! read more

River Rock - On the water - Seafood Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

If we were able to give 10 stars we definitely would have. My sister and I planned a surprise 80th birthday party for our Mom. We reserved tables under the canopies for 30 people, we fit perfectly and everyone had a seat in the shade. We had guests coming from near and far. We needed everything to be just perfect. Perfection is what we received and beyond. Victoria and Monty were our servers. What we got was primo top notch service from beginning to end. They asked us our needs and wants and offered different professional suggestions. We ordered an array of appetizers and pizzas along with an extremely impressive sushi boat. Everyone raved about the food. The entire day was glorious. The band "From the Ground" was playing that afternoon. They were excellent with a diverse repertoire that was entertaining and fun. They shouted out Birthday wishes to Mom while she was up dancing and on multiple other occasions, which made her feel so special. She truly was queen for a day. Thank you for a wonderful time and memories that will never be forgotten. read more

Used to come here all the time before Covid for happy hour. Since then, no happy hour specials at all. The food here is nothing special, stick to pizza and wings if you don't want to be disappointed. Table service is always slow, you are better off sitting at the bar. read more

Came here for lunch. Restaurant was completely renovated after Sandy and looks great! Outdoor seating on the water facing the marina. Inside very nicely done. The lunch menu was good and I ordered the brick oven pizza which was very good. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the staff was very friendly. The dinner menu looked good as well. I would definitely reccomend this place. read more

I was random and got sushi, It was good The place was packed, with townies we went off season, so I would try again in the summer the service was good, the hostess were nice the side bar with the sand, I want to try that. It was just a bar, wouldn't go out of my way to come for dinner, I like being on the other side of town I tasted my husbands burger and onion rings. Good I had the wings they were great good solid place for drinks, wouldn't go back to eat good if you want to sit outside in a marina read more

I feel disheartened writing this updated review. This is my mom's favorite spot and the service and staff remain fantastic. The food, however, has noticeably declined. From the start, River Rock is not a place to order elaborate entrees. It is most definitely a burger, pizza, sandwich, and appetizer type place. It is a "marina bar," after all. Up until a few months ago, however, River Rock did have stellar sushi. Now, I have my last three orders to be stale, dry, and tasteless. My sister accompanied me on my last visit to the Rock, and she concurred. The bar pies, which are my mom's favorite, seem to have taken on a greasy side, and paired with their already thin crusts have gone from great to just mediocre. I ordered one of their salad entrees (with chicken) in an attempt to be healthy on another recent occasion there, and the lettuce was not fresh and the chicken was dry. I've steered clear of their entrees for a while now, simply not worth the money. River Rock is not a bad place to eat, but it's not great. It's really what the 3 star rating says: it's A-OK. It still provides a great atmosphere to watch sports and have a drink and grab a burger, but there are just so many other places in the area to chose from I feel River Rock is suffering from comparison. Even the beer selection is lacking, as you can order a number of craft beers from other places in the area. The location along the water is still beautiful, and the servers and staff are still excellent. The food though... I really do hope River Rock makes some changes and steps up their game. It's a great venue with great service, but every time I leave I'm just not satisfied with my meal. read more

We came here today for lunch. It was pretty packed, the place in itself is big on the side. They had a portion of it closed off for a private party and there was still so much room. There are 2 large bars and a patio on the outside. We sat inside at a high top table . Our server was attentive and answered any questions we had. We got nachos for an appetizer and it was pretty good, they don't put the chili on top but on the side. We also got fried shrimp and a burger both were excellent. Not sure how this place is at night but it looks to be a popular late night spot too. read more
