Half Moon is always a favorite dinner spot in the Keansburg/Bayshore area! When you arrive you'll…read morenotice the nautical themed decor in every bit of the space, with no detail overlooked! You'll find tables, high tops, bar seating, and a great deck for outdoor seating in warmer months. The menu is always changing seasonally, which I love for trying new items and eating flavors of the season. This includes the drink menu, in which they have a fun variety of drinks, including great mocktails. The happy hour menu is great if you want some light bites or shareables. In the past I've really liked Caesar salads, the fish and chips, and the brussel sprouts, to name some. The service is always great, with the staff being super friendly and attentive. I recently had an engagement party here with our families, and the Half Moon team went above and beyond to make it special for us, for which we are so thankful! They have fun events here often and it's always a great time when you visit!

Been here a few times but I must say this was the worst experience. It was extremely cold and they…read moredidn't even turn the fire place on . I think they were also having a party or a gathering of some sort and it was so loud we could barely carry a conversation. Not to mention the beers weren't that good either . I asked for an I hello ultra that tasted more like a corona :( not to mention we literally had to scream our order to the bartender because the people behind us were so loud and she was on the other side of the bar instead of walking up to us . The only good thing was the hostess , very helpful with our coats and even put sore tv in for us . But aside from that it wasn't the best experience. A bit disappointing

There's usually a crowd of locals there who either ignore you or let you jump in on the conversation.

Sounds great to me!

Once again, we used Yelp to find a place for lunch, and were not disappointed. Our…read morebartender/server, James was personable and delivered our food quickly. It was a slow, rainy Thursday at 12;30PM so the place was almost empty. There was a lunch special ($2 off all burgers) and we went with the Black and Bleu Smash Burger as well as the BBQ Bacon Smash Burger. Both were excellent and came with fries that were hot and crispy. The beer selection is fairly good and I went with a 007XX from Carton Brewing (just up the road). The place is basically a road house (Nic's Hometown Tavern) with very little ambiance, but was welcoming. Hey Burger seems to be an additional tag. One step up from a dive bar and I can imagine that it gets pretty busy later in the day. If in the area, I will stop in again!

There was corn on the cob, tender light and dark meat, thin noodles, big slices of zucchini, fresh herbs, chicken bone broth, the expected carrots/celery onions and everything is balanced. Tacos and quesadillas are great, I recommend opting for house made corn tortillas. Guacamole is great. Sandwiches and burgers are delicious. The burger is generous in size on fresh bun. BLT is plentiful. The service is caring and friendly. They have tables to dine in, and authentic decor. They are a great addition to Keansburg.

Service was good and fast, because we were 2 of 4 people there. We asked the bartender, "where is everyone?" because Keansburg was a ghost town. They told us on a cloudy Tuesday it happens, but the weekends have been very full. The kitchen was closed but they served the usual fried bar food. The open to the boardwalk atmosphere was great. If you're a dedicated people watcher you will spot many species here, lol.

Toppings are generous but can overwhelm the bun and make it soggy and messy while eating but for the price it's a good deal. The Chili is meaty but mild so if you're not a fan of spicy it's right up your alley. The self topping option is a great take if you are particular about how much of this and that you want. Overall a great "boardwalk" vibe to the grilled dogs. Worth a stop for a quick bite. Also check out the store Bo's Attic which is a hidden gem Thrift Store. Highly recommend.

The music that they were playing outside made me dance and invited me right on inside...and then I saw the a décor. It was colorful... When I went in there and I was talking because the music invited me inside lol I was talking to the man that was there, and he was very, very nice... and very inviting. So, I got Jerk rice with beans. I got cabbage and sweet plantains, and let me tell you something 100 % delicious and with the curry sauce on the side, not too spicy. It was fire!! I can't say anything bad about this restaurant and I can't wait to try the curry goat......Even though I'm afraid to eat curry goat lol, The owner said, don't be afraid I make it really good. So I will be coming back... you better believe that. I hope you remember me. I'm the blonde girl that said she was afraid of food? Well, I'm not afraid of food anymore after eating your food LOL. By the way, your telephone number is not working. You have to fix that. I tried to call you to say thank you for a wonderful meal, but the phone number did not work. Other than that.

Wow the curry and cabbage were delicious. We also had a beef patty which was also good. I will definitely go back to try some more of their food and you should to.

We started our meals with and order of Broiled Oysters and the Octopus Ceviche Tostada and both were excellent. The oysters came out piping hot.

Staff were beyond friendly. Cons -- THE FOOD!! We had pork belly and duck confit appetizer. Pork belly was drenched in sauce and overcooked. Duck dish was good but was a spread and served with such a small amount of bread. Main courses -- presentation was terrible -- i ordered NY Strip with french fries and veggies. Hubby ordered jambalaya -- both dishes were served luke warm and looked as though they had been sitting. French fries were all tiny pieces as if they were at the bottom of the fryer. The steak was a poor cut. The jambalaya lacked flavor. The protein on the dish was all overcooked. Dessert THE Elvis -- sounded sooo delicious but was basically a spoonful of peanut butter. Even the ice cream they served with it could not drown out the overpowering peanut butter flavor. I did enjoy the cappuccino. We were there to celebrate my husband's birthday and he didn't even eat his meal. It was that bad. Sadly, one and done for us. I know they changed their menu so perhaps this is not their best lineup but I cannot forgive the terrible presentation. The price point for what they are presenting its insane.
