    Had dropped by The Break for a bite to eat after being on the beach all day. Thankfully there was no wait and we were quickly seated outside. It was a very nice dinner on the boardwalk with a nice a beautiful view. The menu was okay-- had some salads, burgers, sandwiches, and sushi. We started with some beers and drinks and the nachos to start. Nachos were pretty good and the tortilla chips were layered with all the toppings. Our food came out a short time later. I enjoyed my burger and fries and I loved the cheese dipping sauce that came with my fries. My sister liked her poke bowl. Overall it was a pleasant dinner and we all enjoyed our food.

    Great place for when you want an easy sit down lunch on the boardwalk. Our drinks took about 25 minutes to come out, but our food arrived very shortly after and everything was tasty. The oysters were served with a mango chimichurri which was surprisingly delicious. I would come back during another beach day!

    Highly recommend! I came here on a whim with my fiancé, friend and her husband. What a great find! The location was perfect, right on the boardwalk. We had the oysters for our appetizer and the braised short rib for our dinners. The food was all amazing and really hit the spot.

    Delicious resturant with the best view right on the boardwalk- can't go wrong! Service was excellent and our waitress was super friendly. The food was great- we got fresh oysters, french fries and fish tacos. The tacos were big, filling and the avacado aioli was perfect for the fried fish. I got six fresh oysters and one of them had a pea crab in it! Did not love that at all but also wouldnt stop me from coming back here.

    Place is pretty big. Inside and outside dining. Ordered calamari as an appetizer which was good. Lobster roll with chips, the roll was good but the chips were over cooked. Lobster mac and cheese my friend really enjoyed and the portion size was huge. I ordered the chirashi bowl- which is like a poke bowl. I really enjoyed it, it was light dish it was just missing some spicy mayo sauce. Cocktails were way to sweet, not worth the purchase. Service was okay.

    I enjoyed my lunch at The Break. We sat outside and had a nice view. I had a burger and enjoyed it. My drink was tasty and refreshing. I would stop by for lunch again.

    ASBURY PARK: The Break AP opened its doors this year and is right on the boardwalk! Leashed dogs are allowed at their outdoor seating and they are the best seats in the house with oceanfront views! They have a large food and drink menu with seasonal specials make it easy to enjoy a great meal. Dogs are allowed on the boardwalk from 9/15-5/15.

    The break was amazing. Very honest bartender of things in Asbury Park. The drinks were great.The food was yummy.

    I've visited this spot twice this past summer, and had great meals, both times! The service can be somewhat spotty when it comes to get a table (initially), and they are always packed when I'm there, so it takes some time before a server will come by to take your order. Love the ambiance indoors (too hot for the outside!). As for the food, we had a round of oysters for our appetizer, and then the mussel pot (both EXCELLENT) and I have to say, the Maui Bowl was really really really good. Something about that coconut rice is divine! I would pass on drinking the sake (it wasn't that great), and next summer, I think I might try their sushi (it seemed to a popular ordering choice, from what I could see).

    I got the chicken Al pastor quesadilla. It was a good portion and it was very good too. It came with pico de gallo and sour cream. The service was great, she was very nice and for our food fast. They also had a live band playing inside. They have a lot of indoor seating and some outside seating too.

    The food here is great. I had the B.L.T.C sandwich which i thought was pretty good, not too dry. The chips it came with were a little hard but still good. The burrito was So Good! The melted cheese on top is a little messy ( me in the photo lol) but so so good. A little pricey but the vibe is worth it.

    Pork roll egg & cheese on Brioche

    I came here for lunch before heading to beach. It was perfect that we were able to get right in and sat on the boardwalk. The staff was friendly but service was a little slow. However didn't bother me so much since we were enjoying the scenery of being on/off the beach. We ordered some apps and I had pork roll egg and cheese which was sub par. The pork roll taste as if it was bad and or possibly that it was grilled on same griddle with leftover greases. I did not enjoy the stable of NJ's breakfast meat at this spot at all. I wouldn't say I won't come back because their menu was so big that I want to try other items. Also I loved the fact that they had a live band playing inside

    Stopped here for breakfast. Just your average breakfast spot nothing amazing but not bad either. Of course slightly more expensive due to its location on the boardwalk. Service was good with a nice view of the beach.

    Customer service was bad, food was bad, paid a lot for NOTHING. The only "good" thing is you have the beach as your view.

    Menu isn't as good as old restaurant (Langosta) has a sold out feel, and over priced fried food cause of location.

    I keep coming back to MOGO on Cookmam, one of my go-to spots in Asbury right now!…read more Food-wise, the pork burrito is my staple, especially with the veggie fried rice mixed in, it adds this perfect texture and makes the whole thing feel extra satisfying. The flavors are bold, well-seasoned, and consistent every time. The buldok cheesesteak is also a standout sandwich, spicy and cheesy. Don't skip the pickle bar either! The pickled cucumbers and spicy pear sauce are my favorites and honestly elevate everything. Bonus points for the strawberry lychee drink, which is super refreshing. Service is always friendly and easygoing, and even after 20+ visits over the past six months, it still feels welcoming. They also do a great job keeping things interesting, there's always something new or a collab popping up, which keeps me curious enough to try different items. This spot is perfect if you're into bold, Korean-inspired street food and like having some room to customize your order. If you're new, try a couple things before locking in your favorite, but trust me, you'll find one.

We got a few different kinds of drinks some including margarita's and one was a kiwi flavor drink. I think it was awesome that they gave us the option for different kind of salted rims. They're mostly known for their shared plate concepts so we got several items and split everything. We got the tostadas which was an interesting plate of a couple different things, the nachos which I loved, the ceviche which was ok-not your typical ceviche and bit too spicy for me, the salad which I really liked, camerones which the table liked, the pork tacos which I heard were very spicy, the chicken tacos which were good and the steak which was hands down my favorite and the yuca mash was so yummy and different. For the steak, you can only get it medium rare or well done which I is 2 complete ends of the spectrum. We are medium people, so we ended up getting a medium rare. It was definitely a lot of food, but it's a good amount for all of us and it was a nice way to try the menu. I definitely will be back.

The place was definitely crowded, I wasn't surprised. The ordering process was a bit confusing. They were people standing online so we waited behind them. 15 minutes later we realized they didn't move, they were waiting for their food they already ordered. We went on another line and made our way towards the register. We told her that we're going to eat inside so she just told us to take a seat at the table and that someone would be with us. A good 10 to 15 minutes later and no one came over to us. I went up to one of the ladies that I saw walking around and she said that though woman at the register told us the wrong thing. Definitely disorganized and slightly chaotic and a lot of waiting. They seemed short staffed though so we were fine. Since I had never been here before, I wanted to try a few things because I didn't know what I would like. I got the single Pollo taco which was nice and simple, taco de costra with chicken which I liked, the queso birria with chicken, but unfortunately they didn't give me chicken, I think it was pork and it was so greasy. I appreciate that they didn't give onions when I asked if that was possible. Definitely would come back and try some other things. Hopefully it will be a little more organized.
