First of all, this place is amazing! It's set on the water (has "boat hop" servicewhich is so unique) car hop service, outdoor seating & a huge super cool dine in seating area. The restaurant is very retro, decorated in 50's nostalgia, bright/clean and is very comfortable. The staff is super friendly & just fantastic. The owner, Marcella (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) is the most genuine person you'll ever meet, just great to talk with, & you can just tell how much she loves her business & her customers. Now the food....WOW! We were hungry so we ordered 2 corn dogs, onion rings, corn nuggets, pierogi (with onions & sour cream) mac n cheese nuggets, a burger & 2 frosty mugs of root beer (plus a chocolate shake to go) not a scrap was left because everything was cooked to perfection & delicious! All that food (plus the shake) was only $51 that's extremely great pricing. We live in Nutley but we will be coming back because it's worth the drive! read more

Great road side stop. Delicious diet root beer floats. Great little cheese steak. Good roll. So much fun!

Had to stop by for some bottles of root beer I grew up on. Grabbed a few cases for my trip back home. Grabbed something to eat in the meanwhile and it was pretty good. Haven't been here in years so glad to see it still going. read more

$4.95 (as I recall) chilidog with similarly priced onion rings and a rootbeer. Perhaps I had two chilidogs but the diet rootbeer was really good and assuaged my calorie guilt. Very friendly service. This is a national treasure! read more

Stewart's is a fun summer relaxing eat in and take out! Tables on the water too! We picked up hot dogs, burgers, and grilled wrap! Really like the hot dogs, hamburgers were somewhat disappointing, chicken wraps were tasty! Good assortment of soda cream soda, root beer, as well as ice cream! Enjoy! read more

Always worth a ride through the pines to visit this iconic location. Sits right on the water with tables down by the dock. I've only ever ordered two hotdogs with mustard and relish with a side of fries and a large root beer, so I know that order is amazing, but have no idea if anything else is good. lol. I'm sure it is. The summer 50's vibe is always fun. Service is always 5 stars. I love this little joint in summer read more

Best place in southern ocean county for a 50's vibe, amazing ice cream, yummy food, and friendly service. I love taking my family here! read more

We always get the mahi-mahi sandwich which is very good and the service is wonderful and the ambience is Stewart's .

I hadn't been here in 20 years since I was a kid visiting on my dads boat. 20 years later I was really impressed and really enjoyed my solo lunch after an eye dr. Apt. Wish i could have pulled up on boat but I dont have one now lol. But that was a solid sandwich on GREAT bread with a big old frosted mug of root beer all at a total of only $17. That was great! So happy this place is still around and happy with what it had to offer! read more

This place is just plain fun, we came here twice on our vacation , once just us and once with the grandkids! The big hit was the food but especially the root beer , diet and regular, in a frosty mug! Loved it! Even took bottles home. We got the fried chicken sandwich and fries so so good! The grandkids got the kid meals, grilled cheese and chicken fingers! All around great! Wish there was one closer to home! Service was great too! read more

Went here with my family as part of our Long Beach Vacation on Sunday June 9th 2024, after touring the Tuckertown seaport musuem that is nearby. We walked in the place, and it was the 50's galore! 45's were all over the walls, and it was very orange. This was my first time in a stewarts actually, and it definitely takes one back to simple times. My family and i just wanted milkshakes, so we did not sit down inside. We went to the to go, where I ordered a small Chocolate milkshake, My dad ordered root beer float medium with chocolate ice cream, and my mom ordered an orange creamsicle float with vanila ice cream. There are plenty of tables outside in which we sat at, and enjoyed our treats. price was reasonable. enjoyed my chocolate shake, and my family enjoyed theirs too. Highly recommend to try, even if it is just the ice cream! read more

I ate there today the burger tasted off like it was old. The bun looked and tasted as if it was frozen. We paid the check and left the food on the table. It was unedible. read more

One of our favorite places to eat in town! We've been comming here since we moved here 2015. Everyone is so nice and accommodating.

What a nice day to sit outside on the docks with a nice breeze blowing. The best thing for me was the root beer, If you want to get it in a frosted mug you have to eat inside since they do not allow glass mugs at the seating near the docks. Fried flounder, and cod sandwiches were good, the fish to roll ratio was difinitely a little on the skimpy side. They ran out of steamers, so they adjusted the price for the small portion they brought out to us. We will come back again to try some of the other items on the menu, they have a very nice selection. read more

The atmosphere was awesome. The service was great. The food was very expensive and the quantity served was terrible. They used PAPER PLATES AND STYROFOAM cups for soup.. awful...and plastic everything. Unfortunately we will not be back and I'll keep the memories I had of Stewart's in the past. We know inflation hit everyone but charging more and giving less is not acceptable. Also styrofoam is not acceptable either read more

This place ROCKS! From the moment you walk in the door to the time you leave you are engaged with an awesome smiling staff! ....and it just keeps getting better!! The music will have you singing and dancing in your seat and you won't have to worry about the lyrics. The decor was fun and nostalgic making your time waiting for your food nonexistent as enjoyed your surroundings THEN the yummy food arrives with a beautiful friendly smile hot and yummy countering the frosty mugs. Bottom line Marcella and Charles have created a Jem of an experience, friendly Warm place to enjoy food more. Love Love Love this hidden jem to bring the family and just enjoy a yummy meal and super warm and friendly staff!! Can't wait to come back!! read more

I'm constantly being harrassed by the owners of this location from my previous genuine review I posted about our terrible experience getting food here. They served us chicken that was undercooked and red that ultimately got us sick. Instead of an apology from the owners of this establishment they constantly are harassing me and my family. By the way the owner responds to many of the genuine truthful 1 star reviews you can clearly see how much guilt they have and their unprofessionalism manner just proves that they should not be in the hospitality business. read more

I've wanted to try Stewart's for a long time and was so happy to finally fulfill that desire. Twice. So get ready for a lengthier review. Oh, and the pickles that come with the burgers are *chef's kiss* Tip: You can try any of the flavors at the ice cream counter! I will have to get the vanilla peanut butter for my shake next time. What we got: Root beer float with vanilla ice cream - 3* nothing remarkable but nice and refreshing. An average float. Black Cherry float with salted pretzel caramel ice cream - 4* the pretzels are dipped in chocolate so didn't get soggy. They were a bit weird, but that was expected. The caramel was fantastic with the soda. And the soda itself was amazing! Black Raspberry milkshake - 4* super refreshing. Turning the ice cream to a milkshake did dim the taste of the ice cream but it was still good. And the shake is nice and thick. Blue Cheese Blast Burger - 5* this burger was amazing and I'm usually not a blue cheese fan. I'd get it again. Hot Rod Burger - 3.5* the first few bites were unremarkable. But when I finally got to the hot sauce and jalapenos in the middle it got a lot better. Bacon Cheeseburger - 4.5* a solid decent burger that gave my partner exactly what they were looking for. I'd say 4* after my bite, but I only had a bite and defer to the individual who ate the whole thing. Route 66 Burger - 3* the pulled pork wasn't phenomenal, kind of expected from a fast food joint. (I did not try this one, so this review was by my partner) read more

My friends and I went to Stewart's for lunch. The whole experience was great from start to finish. The restaurant was bright and very clean. The staff was polite and friendly; the service was great and the food was delicious; it was a great experience. I highly recommend a visit! My friends and I will be back. read more

Come step back in time (it feels) to a much easier and simpler time when innocence ruled. GREAT food, huge menu with things for every taste (hot dogs, burgers, chicken, cheese steaks, seafood), IMMACULATELY clean. Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating AND you can come by water too!!!!! YES YES YES read more

Stewart's Root Beer - Inside dining area - Burgers Near Me - Tuckerton, New Jersey

Food is overpriced and lack of flavor. Before the current owner it was so much better. Unfortunately it has went downhill.

I'm always skeptical when there's an ownership change and last year when Stewart's changed hands, it was siad that everything would remain the same. It was all last year. This year...different story. I'm good with small changes, but when you change the actual hot dogs it's a deal-breaker. 20+ years they had the same brand of dogs and now they changed them to something, that I don't know what it is. It's not a Sabrett or anything like that. Tastes like a budget smoky repeater dog. Like something on a roller in a convenience store. Real bummer. Like the old saying. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. To be fair, the place is very clean and the staff are really friendly. Great atmosphere and the location is right in the water so great scenery read more

The establishment offers small portions of hotdogs, french fries, and hamburgers at exceptionally high prices. While it's a viable option for an annual treat, the prices are prohibitively high. The view of Tuckerton Creek and Tuckerton Lake is noteworthy. Service is slow. read more

Took the family out for burgers and fries, who new a simple lunch could turn into a great experience the setting just takes you back in time when life was a little simpler and the service and quality of food was 2nd to none, Highly recommended definitely worth the trip and we will be back for sure, Thanks to the owners Marcy and Chuck again . read more

Ambience is wonderful management is not open to any type of criticism. We have been going here since 1999. We are a 5 minute ride by car but the kids (even my now grown ones) love to take a ride up the creek to go get ice cream. We will miss going there. read more

Well one of my favorite summer traditions is now dead! We have been going to Stewart's since our kids were young but our last experience was awful. If I wanted a Costco Hotdog I would go to the food court and spend 1.50 not 5.00. Oh well!! read more

To respond to the owner's comment on my review I did NOT order takeout mushrooms. And they weren't as good as last year, not even close. And you did Okie's no favors by letting one know that's where you get your meat from. As for as the bill I would not have complained at all had the food been good. I find your response to an honest review unprofessional. I stand by my review. P.S. the root beer is wonderful! read more

Rode out to Tuckerton and decided to have lunch at Stewart's. Sat indoors because it was cooler. No wait. Sat ourselves. Servers kept changing and they were all fine. There were 5 in our group, everyone had rootbeer and I had coffee. 2 had cheeseburgers and said they were just "okay" 2 had black bean wrap which was pretty decent. And 1 had cheese dogs and said they tasted like crap. Fries were good. Probably won't return, but at least it was a nice break from our ride. Oh...bathroom's are NOT handicap accessible. read more
