    Sausage, egg, and cheese omelette turned into quesadilla
    Tony P.

    I really wanted to like this place. It wasn't quite what I expected. It's on the corner at a traffic light, you have to be careful or you will you miss it. The door is a screen door, with a solid wooden door behind it to get in. It's kind of rustic, a small dining area with a long counter. On Sunday Dec 21st I met my ex here for a late breakfast, early lunch around noon. It was fairly busy, but I was able to sit down immediately. The staff seemed very nice, very kind. I asked the waitress what she recommended. I went with her recommendation of a build your own omelette turned into a quesadilla. She said it would be very filling. It came with diced breakfast potatoes which were decent, served very hot, the way I like it. Unfortunately they had no sour cream to go with a quesadilla, not a big deal. The problem with this dish was there was very little sausage and almost no cheese. A quesadilla should be real cheesy to hold it together that would have kept all the egg from falling out. It wasn't very filling. I had to use a lot of ketchup as glue, it kind made things worse. My ex had an avocado toast with egg and topped with greens and she chose garlic aïoli dressing. She seemed to like it. The other diners seemed happy with their meals. I saw a lot of cute beignets and breakfast bowls, and delicious looking toast. The coffee was cold, and not to my liking. The waitress did heat it up for me in the microwave, but I did not get a refill. If I'm ever in the area again or passing by at the right time, I might give it another shot and try something different on the menu.

    Lovely outdoor and brunch spot! Excellent cappuccino and food. Service was a little slow but it was busy. No trouble walking in over the holiday day weekend.

    Nice breakfast this morning for my daughter's birthday. Sat outdoors which was very pleasant. Good selection of items on the menu. My daughter had short stack of pancakes which were thin not overpowering like some hotcakes. I had the Midwest scramble which is like an open faced omelet. Always a fine breakfast.

    Okay my bad indeed! I've been going to the Cookie Lady now for six years at least weekly and sometimes twice a week for breakfast. I have taken it for granted for sure. Cute little ambience including an outside grotto in the summer provided by Christine the owner. Sorta reminds you of a fifties dinner on the inside. If you sit outside be sure to say hello to Butter Nuts the resident feline, he's a ginger boy. Now for the grub - very decent eggs, omelets, scramblers and what not but my favorite is their link sausage, one of the very best around and their buttermilk pancakes, which can be had with real maple syrup. BTW always fresh squeezed OJ on hand if you so desire and of course a decent bottomless cup of Joe. Best part of the deal - You can't spend more that $15 bucks for two before tip if you try. Forget those many high priced joints around that now cost an arm and leg just for a simple breakfast meal. Just a nice place to go to there at Cookie Lady and you can take that to the bank.

    Used to rave about this place. New owners. New menu. Ice cold potatoes and toast. Cheese doesn't melt. Not worth the ride anymore.

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!

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!

The food was good. Hubby got eggs Benedict and I got an egg white omelette with avocado and fresh fruit. The avocado was a little brown so it wasn't freshly cut, but the fruit was fresh and juicy. I was glad to get multi-grain toast! Next time there, though, I'll definitely bring a sweater as the AC made me cold.

Although it wasn't very busy, service upstairs was fairly slow, and several nearby tables also seemed to be waiting a while for food or checks. For drinks, we ordered the Boardwalk Lemonade, which was sweet and refreshing, and their version of an Aperol Spritz, which had a beautiful presentation. My dad's Baked Brie Burger was delicious--the fig jam paired perfectly with it, and the waffle fries were fried to perfection. I ordered the Mr. Beautiful Burger, which tasted great at first. Unfortunately, I felt VERY sick almost immediately after eating. I can't say for certain what caused it, but since my dad didn't try my burger and felt fine after his meal, I suspect mine may not have been cooked properly. Despite that, I enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks, and overall experience. I'd definitely give this place another chance, though I'll skip the Mr. Beautiful Burger next time.
