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!

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.

But, they was plenty to choose from. While I love their large turnovers, we got a strawberry shortcake as our dinner dessert. Everyone loved it! We also got small eclairs, cream puffs, and an assortment of Italian cookies. I only have a few of the cookies left to show as a picture as everything else was eaten (or taken home with my sister!). The place can get very crowded but it was not when we were there. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about their products. It is truly the best bakery around!

We've been to At The Point Diner twice now…read more They are an actual legitimate diner that has breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So far we've had breakfast and dinner and both were excellent.

Then it will become a regular place to eat.

Not often does a place do as well or better than the last place when it changes hands and the previous joint was a local favorite. At the Point IMHO is one of those such spots. The menu is flat out one of the best I've seen in years! So many amazing choices from savory to sweet, creative fun names for everything, outstanding choices, tons of options for every palate. They kept some of the staples from before which is a nice hat tip to tradition but you can also tell the new chef/owner wanted to have some fun with the menu and it's a hit in my book! The food is very fresh, coffee hot and delicious, and the service is as good as it always was! Tanya is the best! The pancakes are next level, all of their omelettes I've tried have been dynamite, favorites include the French Onion Omelette, Reef & Beef and Juan in a Million. Today we had the Sunrise in Tulum Birria tacos and Country Benny (okay along with a flight of pancakes, stop judging). Everything was great! Avocado toast options are fantastic as well. Love seeing such an iconic local breakfast joint not only stay as good as it's always been but actually improve. This is a can't miss for breakfast or lunch if you're in Point Pleasant Beach or even just passing thru. Keep up the great work At The Point Diner!

My party attended for the first time and were seated outside on the porch. It was a great night to be outdoors and the entertainment by Bobby Knee was terrific. He played tunes by Billy Joel, James Taylor and Louis Armstrong, to name a few. This is a byob which is always plus. The service was a bit slow. We waited quite a while for our dinner. I didn't mind but others in my party noticed. The bread plate was nice and warm. The shrimp appetizer was tasty. Our dinners came with mixed reviews. Two of us had the mahi mahi and it was just ok. A bit dry and flavorless. Two had the lamb and enjoyed. And another had the sea bass and enjoyed. There is no dedicated parking for the hotel so allow time to find a space.

And if you're looking for something fun to do, every Wednesday night they open up their doors with a special menu to have trivia night hosted by Quizzaholics! My boyfriend and I had such a great time getting competitive and investing ourselves through each round to answer each question. There's awesome prizes for the winners! Their pancakes were like a a warm hug on a plate. They were thin and golden and lightly buttered with the right hint of sweetness. We added chocolate chips to ours and they added the cutest little powdered sugar flower design on them. The cheesesteak was monstrous in size. The gooey cheese and tender meat made this a great savory meal. The wings were sauced to perfection! Each wing had tons of meat and made the perfect appetizer. The hot honey chicken sandwich was a solid choice. The coleslaw on the sandwich really complimented the kick from the hot honey! Service was so friendly and attentive. It was nice trying a bit of breakfast and lunch. I definitely want to come back during their breakfast hours!
