Scojo's has become part of our LBI rotation. I appreciate that they seem allergy-aware and offer something for the whole family (and have excellent bacon!). Only downside is the long wait and then when some staff make you feel rushed as they try to flip the tables - understandable in the summer, but we felt quite rushed on our last visit. read more

Efficient waiting system, amazingly helpful staff, delicious food with huge portions. Great coffee options too. 10 out of 10

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I can't say enough about this place! Everyone is always so pleasant, the food is amazing!

Got the Porky Pig omelette with hash browns and gluten free toast. Everything was delicious and I really loved the decor in here. Wait staff were very nice as well. Will definitely be back next year! read more

Love Scojo's have so for years. Took my lacrosse seniors there for a senior breakfast

I ordered a chicken cheesesteak. The chicken did not fill the roll by an inch on each side. The service was excellent and the restaurant was packed, so they are doing something right. Maybe just a rare occasion. read more

Super clean restaurant and there is a flurry of activity... maybe too many servers on the floor? Coffees were all delicious the barista did a great job. Entrees were just "ok" the burger we ordered was under seasoned and the calamari on the calamari salad was way over cooked. That said it was good and I give them a pass for it being early in the season. I'm sure they are working out a few kinks. read more

Scojo's is a wonderful little spot. It's nice to see them open in November. For this visit I had a porkroll and cheese on a pretzel roll with home fries. I have to say their home fries are really great. A little char, not horribly greasy, and a solid onion flavor. Wonderful! As for the sandwich, it was good. The roll was decent but not super fresh. I also like salt on my pretzel rolls but not many places do that. Porkroll was lightly browned and cheese was melted, can't really ask for more. Service was good and as a plus they have lacas coffee, love me some diner coffee! A great off-season spot! read more

Had breakfast here with the family. I had forgotten to ask for my corned beef hash to be crispy, but they got it right anyway. It is good that they added onto their menu the hashbrowns that you see. Had to have it all with Ryebread and the couple of eggs that were runny. Service was very good. Very attentive. I have not been to this place in probably three or four years. I seem to recall there being a fire and the inside seems like it was recently refreshed. Nice atmosphere. A couple of things that they could tweak. The sugar that they have on the table have been the raw sugar. It seems that they should give that they also have a bunch of coffee drinks that are a notch higher. Please note that they charge 3% for using a credit card. I do think that they are on the high side for prices. But again, everything else was pretty good. I'll be back. read more

Scojo's has become one of my go to spots in LBI. Cute diner vibes with a modern spin. I love how bright this restaurant is and even though it is a bit loud, I like the lively breakfast/brunch atmosphere. They have a large menu, definitely something for everyone. I'm partial to the pancakes. So fluffy and delicious. Be prepared to wait during the summer especially on the weekends. Off season it's a lot easier to get a table of course. This is a great place to start your day down the shore. read more

Scojos, where brunch is a foodie's paradise but watch out for the "Express Exit" server! As soon as I entered I noticed how airy , bright, cheery, and cleaner than my grandma's approval checklist the establishment was ( always a PLUS). The eggs Benedict and French toast are practically celestial , and my boyfriend's veggie omelette and turkey bacon were cooked JUST RIGHT without sacrificing taste- all of that plus , affordable ingredients that don't break the bank - brunch jackpot ! Now, let's talk about the server, who must have a personal vendetta against chill vibes or had somewhere to be ? This person approached our table like they had a brunch stopwatch hidden somewhere. Zero sense of humor, and their mission was clear: eat, pay, evacuate Feeling rushed at a brunch spot is like finding out your favorite brunch spot serves decaf coffee - a major buzzkill. Scojos, your food is brunchalicious, but next time, let us enjoy it at our own pace. If I wanted a sprint, I'd sign up for a 5K, not brunch. 4/5 - deducted a point for the brunch police on duty! Aside from that I highly recommend this delightful spot on the island ! read more

And several times for breakfast the staff is very friendly. They know the menu well, the place is nicely set up and the food is delicious. From the pancakes to the eggs and the fresh squeezed orange juice. I love this place. read more

After a failed attempt at Huevos Rancheros on the island at another highly recommended restaurant, Scojo's came through! The menu item included meat and as a vegetarian I simply asked them to switch to mushrooms and I got a smile and a"No problem! Good quantity of food at the right temperature and nicely presented. My waitress was very attentive as were auxiliary staff who may have delivered a glass of water and under 30 seconds from when I was asked if I'd like one. Coffee was good and hot and since I had my own pot right on the table when I arrived, it was easy to ask myself for refills! It's been a while since I've been here, but I had read that there had been renovations in the place looked brand new. Service staff is on point, proud, and always smiling. It's definitely a teamwork atmosphere, here, and I bet almost no one goes away unhappy. read more

If i could rate this place 10 stars i definitely would my coworker and i came there for the first time yesterday and the food was delicious i had the veggie omlette and she had the meat omlette with pork roll and cheddar and she loved it and our coffee drinks came quick barely 2 minutes after we ordered them! will definitely be coming back!! read more

The food is delicious. The service is super friendly. The atmosphere is a cute cafe. But what I loved the most was the cost! We got an app (mozz sticks), the fishwich hoagie (big enough to make 2 sandwiches), 2 kids meals, and 3 fountain sodas. All of that for under $50. Everyone was pleased with their meal. read more

Our new favorite place! It looks busy but the wait goes by quick. They sometimes struggle with poached eggs but are always happy to correct it. The owner is always around and checking on tables, servers are friendly, and food is fresh & delicious. Their lattes are also delicious. We're new to the area and happy to have found a local business to support often! read more

Every plate we had was delicious. My kids loved their meals and adults enjoyed the food and beverage options for breakfast. We have already been back and look forward to our next visit. Definitely use the website to hold your spot in line! read more

Joined the online wait list for a party of 9 and the timing was perfect. The table was ready when we arrived. Sat outside it was very pleasant under the awning. The lemon blueberry pancakes were excellent. Really nice menu with huge choice of breakfast and lunch items. Highly recommend! read more

The best place on the island for great breakfasts and terrific lunches. The omelets are always perfect, and the Ruebens, Pastrami and Texas Toast sandwiches are delicious. They have an efficient wait system so take advantage of the online resources, because they usually are busy, but no matter the wait, it's always worth it. A bonus is the super efficient and very customer service oriented staff-they deserve 5 stars just for that! read more

Over the summer my hubby and I decided to pretend to be tourists and go for breakfast,we never go out for early breakfast. I had a Greek omelette and he had pancakes with turkey sausage.The service was extremely friendly and they remodeled this restaurant so cute. I really didn't care for my omelet plus it had egg shells in it, Major ick for me.My spoon for my coffee wasn't clean. The pancakes, nothing fluffy taste about them. I'd rather try lunch next time. I use to love this place for lunch. It's still an iconic lbi restaurant because they've been around forever... read more

Meh. It's an expensive diner, 2 people, 2 coffees and 2 mediocre breakfast 48$. It was really crowded for a Thursday morning and as soon as we sat down a waiter came over and said "you know what you ordering?" And I said no we need a minute, then another waitress came to the table before I could open the menu asking the exact same thing. Service just wasn't great, no one checked in, asked if we needed anything, etc. They seemed overwhelmed by the amount of people in the space as it was cramped, loud and messy. The inside is cute, very crisp looking but it was over run with flies. Once placing our order it came out pretty fast, but the food was lukewarm. The waiter brought out a tray stacked to high heaven with numerous tables orders on it. My toast was soggy and my food wasn't hot. I think the only reason it's popular or busy is because of its location. Do yourself a favor and go further into the island and find better food. This was super generic and not great, not worth the money. From a local who it took 8 years to try this place, just not worth it. read more

Thankfully, we went on an afternoon in the winter month because I'm sure this place in the summer is jampacked. The service was friendly and quick. The place looks very clean and beachy. I had two eggs and style, which was a great size portion. My husband had beef chips with cheese. We've never heard of this meal before, but he actually really liked it. We would definitely go back here again. read more

This was my first time visiting Scojo's after their remodeling, and I really enjoy how they've brightened up the place! This little diner in Surf City definitely feels a bit more modern now, and it's absolutely packed with people on the weekends. My friend and I arrived without a reservation, so the only seats available were at the bar. I wasn't very impressed with the cleanliness of the bar area, especially with so many employees squeezed into one spot. Still, we were excited to grab some tasty breakfast food and the dishes didn't disappoint! I ordered the Breakfast Monte sandwich, which was absolutely huge and filling. It had everything you want in a breakfast sandwich.. some egg, cheese, sausage, and a bit of sweetness from the toast and maple syrup. I'd come back just for this sandwich alone, but their other breakfast options sounded super tasty as well! You can really find something for everyone on this menu. read more

I'm surprised I've never reviewed Scojo's! It's one of our favorite spots on the island. I love their breakfast BLT sandwiches, and everything else I've ever eaten there. They have daily specials, highway portions, and fair pricing. And they have fresh squeezed OJ, be sure to order one next time you're there! Always fast and friendly service, always high food quality. read more

Scojo's - Breakfast BLT with hash brown Pattie's 9/19/2023 - New American Near Me - Surf City, New Jersey

See all

Restaurant and store areas are very clean, no water pressure in the bathroom making rinsing hands after washing difficult . Omelette was fine, hash browns were probably the frozen variety, had zero seasoning but were well fried. Patty melt, with added ketchup still lacked flavor. Thousand Island dressing had little flavor, was mostly just sweet. Fruit & Nut salad was good, without the dressing. of note their menu has a V to indicate Vegetarian I would assume, but this notation is on items like Chef's salad, and salad including chicken. Clearly an error, but worth mentioning. Overall, my suggestion- stick to the eggs. read more

Scojo's has delicious food with ample size portions. The wait staff is super nice and they are efficient. Tables turn pretty quick and they have some outside seating as well. They have a waitlist, which, is very helpful during the summer season. They have a few parking spaces on the side of the building. If you are not lucky enough to get one of those you will need to find a space on the street. We live locally and really enjoy their food. read more

I had their pancakes - they were once one of the best but they have since gone down hill. They were burned and overcooked and rubbery. The pork roll was also overcooked and burned. I will not be returning. read more

Long wait and once we were seated we waited 40 mins before somebody even came over and took our order. Food was rushed out and undercooked. My toast was just warmed up bread. Waitress basically told us they forgot about us and once we finished eating we continued to wait for the check. I had my card in my hand and the servers were just standing around staring. read more
