The best pancakes in Manasquan, hands down, that is if you like authentic delicious pancakes! Service is nice and ambiance is uniquely beautiful along the Manasquan Inlet, see photo:

The service was quick and friendly. The gentlemen running the counter were friendly, funny and had great energy. The California Egg-Mike was delicious and the iced coffee was refreshing. Will be returning again soon to try the lunch menu!

Dogs are allowed to join you in their outside seating area.

Great dog friendly place to grab some food after visiting dog beach. The food was great and everybody was nice. There is outside seating where you can sit and watch traffic (on a relatively quiet street), and also watch the boats go in and out of the inlet. They have special dog meals and dog ice cream that is a great treat for your four-legged friends. Prices may be a little pricey, but that's to be expected considering their location. Ahi tuna sandwich was really good, as well as the chicken quesadillas.

Stayed at an Airbnb right across from the cafe for the weekend. We lucked out because this cafe was AMAZING. We ended up there multiple times before we headed into asbury for a festival. Breakfast wraps, the south of the border is a MUST. Lunch, you cannot leave without trying the fish tacos. Some of the best I have ever had. The restaurant itself is super cute, outdoor seating is great because you are right on the water. The staff, mike in particular is a real gem. Great guy. Would 10/10 recommend stopping in.

Living his best life.

We had a great experience here! We got here at around 2:15pm to kick off our day at the beach. Even…read morethough the The Food Shack closes at 2:00pm, the server behind the counter was very gracious and still took our order (and the orders of some people behind us) without complaining. We were really impressed by the location. The Food shack is located right on the beach which is the perfect way to enjoy a lunch on a Summer day in Point Pleasant. They have lots of umbrellaed outdoor seating, and some benches in the sun, so there are options for everyone. They also have some indoor seating, and the inside is adorable. We ordered a swiss grilled cheese with tomato on top, and a BLT. Each item came with pickles and a bag of chips. Each item was priced reasonably, especially considering typical Jersey Shore pricing. My grilled cheese was great. The bread/cheese/tomato ratio was perfect. The cheese was gooey, and stayed gooey even as the sandwich cooled. The bread on the grilled cheese was crispy on the outside and still soft and warm on the inside. I didn't know what to expect from a small shack on the beach, especially with something as simple as a grilled cheese, but I really enjoyed it. The BLT also had a gread tomato/bacon/lettuce/mayo ratio and wasn't too greasy. Overall I will definitely be coming back!

What's better than sitting outside on a beautiful summer Sunday, smelling the ocean air, feeling a…read morecool refreshing ocean breeze, while eating a delicious meal. Even the wait time here is pleasant. My wife and I had to wait 40 minutes for our table but didn't mind a bit as we soaked up some sunshine and listened to the smooth guitar sounds coming from the guitarist playing outside. My wife had a breakfast sandwich that she loved. We split a spinach salad and I had a tuna melt on sourdough with a side of crabby fries. My sandwich was grilled perfectly. Tuna with melted cheddar and light, crispy buttery sourdough made for a great sandwich. TFS is seasonal only so their last day is October 26 this year and we plan on visiting again before they close for the season.
