Consistently good for what it is. It's a boardwalk restaurant in seaside NJ, let's set the expectations here. I've been coming here for 27 years, never had a bad experience. Recently had the chicken parm,it was good no complaints whatsoever. The next day I had the salmon that was still good. The service was a bit slow but it's slammed on weekends in the summer what do you expect. The food had always been good. It's not the world's best food but hey for what it is it's good food man. I didn't notice an abundant of flies, yes there are some flies, it's an open air restaurant on the beach on the boardwalk there are gonna be some flies but it wasn't crazy or gross or any abnormal amount. It's almost as if these people never ate outside before???? The bathrooms do need work, that is the only complaint I can say is warranted. Good food. Good price. Good location. People need to come back down to earth. Decent spot especially considering location price etc. get real people. read more

1 large pizza slice is enough to satisfy pizza craving along Seaside Park! It's like a quarter of Costco/ Sam's Club whole pizza, stuffed with lots of flavor without too much dough. The staff were quick to serve slices of pizza reheated. There is indoor dining and outdoor patio. The location is quite comfortable relaxing outdoors to enjoy entertainment around. While the slices of pizza are huge, I found my pepperoni pizza lacking enough cheese, as the top easily tour off. read more

If your website says you close at a certain time, you shouldn't close before then. They turned away five other people after us so in a matter of two or three minutes, they lost seven customers. read more

The Sawmill - Ran down the boardwalk to make sure we made it before their 10 PM closing only to be told that they closed at 9:30. Very disappointed! - Sports Bars Near Me - Seaside Park, New Jersey

Big Pizza Slice The Sawmill has been an institution in Seaside Park for years. I've never had a piece of pizza as large as their extra large slice. The pizza hasn't changed much over the years, it's a typical Boardwalk large slice. They don't seem to use a very good cheese so it's not very stringy but the crust is flavorful and thin. Our bartender was very hospitable and the place has a good atmosphere. The only issue here is that after labor day it is dead season on the shore so this place like most others close early.

Good white pie, could use more broccoli, garlic and less salt. Great service and a nice view. read more

Thanks to Sawmill I got first-degree food poisoning. The service was spotty, with these kids coming up looking for jobs and staying down the shore, where they could slack off. So many flies were landing on peoples food and the bathroom was 10/10 disgusting. I wish I had used the restroom before I ate so that instead of suffering from my bowels being flipped upside down, I would've got to enjoy a nice night on the boardwalk and eaten someplace nicer. read more

As a New Yorker, I'm critical of my pizza. And their pizza is pretty good! Their slices are HUGE!

After being unable to agree on which pie to order, the 7 of us ended up getting individual slices. So this review is based on that. Although, they were fine. A re-heated slice just never compares to a fresh Pizza Pie! The Sawmill is a popular spot and large enough to accommodate groups of all sizes. Our service was good. read more

The Sawmill is an institution. They have a bar and a family restaurant at the Seaside Park end of the Seaside Boardwalk. The pizza is enormous. We got a pie to go. It was a pretty dry crust.. The meal in the restaurant was ok. I had the eggplant caprese. It came on a roll. There was tomato and mozzarella and balsamic glaze with breaded eggplant. I did not really like it. It came with french fries that were nice and brown, like steak fries. They were good. The servers were nice. The restaurant is loud and busy. Great location. read more

Craving pizza, came here. The bar area was poppin. They have MASSIVE 27" pies!! I just wanted a slice of cheese to see if I even enjoy the pizza here. Took about 5 mins to heat up the slice in their oven. The slice was HUGE!! But it didn't quite hit the spot, the taste was ok. There are better places around the state, but this wasn't too bad for the boardwalk. read more

It's a little sad, in the past I've left glowing reviews for the great pizza and ice cold beer. The only thing good are the bartenders. The pizza was at one time the best on the boardwalk (my opinion) I looked forward to coming here every year. Now, the pizza is nearly inedible. What happened? It almost can't be picked up, it's like eating a handful of wet dough. The staff is still amazing, but I can't see going back unless I see people saying it's good again. The bar top is old and "sticky" the bathrooms are full of graffiti, I understand it's random, but the same graffiti was there a year ago? read more

The sandbar, coukd be great atmosphere close to funtown beach and SSP. Unfortunately it's probably the worst. Service sucks. We went there sat at 3:00. There were 6 of us. In front of the band area we're 2 tables empty of ppl but full of high noon cans, miller lite cans plastic cup and empty box. My wife went to tiki bar asked the bartender is the server or bus boy is gonna clear the table to which she said we don't have servers or busboys outside and walked away. We asked for manager 10 min later nothing. They weren't the only tables with trash on them. We left and went to Ocean View much cleaner and incredible view. My advise if you go to sandbar bring trash bag to clean table or better yet don't go. read more

The Sawmill definitely caters to families visiting the beach, as demonstrated by the patient and friendly service. The food was fine, the menu consisting of the usual suspects. I was most interested in the thick, wavy fries. The fries were definitely the best thing I ate. My main course was fish tacos. Unfortunately there were too plain, missing something to kick it up a notch. I tried my wife's chicken with balsamic and cheese. It was OK. Meanwhile my kids ate their burgers with enthusiasm. I'll come here again purely because my kids like it so much! read more

Did you know that during football season, The Sawmill hosts a buffet breakfast & pig roast lunch, AND it's only $10 each? While they're known for their gigantic pizza slices on the boardwalk, I decided to spend my Sunday afternoon awaiting a roast pig while watching football. For $10, this was such a great deal and I can't believe more people haven't posted about this more. Along with the roast pig your buffet line includes bread, coleslaw, eggplant parmesan, fish, sausage and peppers. So good, but it does run out quickly, so make sure you're in line right as they put the food out! Definitely suggest taking advantage of this amazing deal, and can't wait to come back to try the breakfast! read more

Saw Mill is home of the larger than life pizza slice! Located right on the seaside boardwalk, this place is always super busy and doesn't take reservations. Food is typical american family-style, but there are definitely some favorites that i mention below! It's a family tradition to come here every Labor Day weekend. This time, we had a larger group than before (12 people), and were seated within 25 mins. The restaurant was uncomfortably hot this time, but it may have been the area where we were seated. Server easily managed our large party and all the requests thrown at her. Food: We always get the pizza. This time we ordered 2 pies: buffalo chicken/pepperoni and cheese/black olive. Pizza is gigantiiiic and pretty consistent in quality. It's not the best nj pizza but we moreso come out of tradition, not because of the food quality . However, for an appetizer I HIGHLY recommend the garlic clams. The sauce that they're served in is delicious! Make sure to get an extra garlic knot/bread to dip the sauce in. We also ordered multiple cheese balls, mozzarella sticks, and chicken fingers. The greek salad is very good, although I would ask for dressing on the side next time. Caesar with grilled chicken is also a great salad to share. Drinks: ORANGE CRUSH! Their orange crush is out of this world. You can really taste the fresh squeezed OJ and it's what makes it so refreshing. I haven't ordered a different drink here, and don't plan to either! read more

The worst pizza ever. Cardboard taste and way too much money for that. Cmon guys do better

Delicious food, open late, with indoor and outdoor dining. My friends and I were looking for a place to eat on the seaside boardwalk around 8pm and this is what we found that was open and had seating. Everything else was just food stands. This place was absolutely delicious !!!!! My only complaint is that the food took a while to come out and there were really no customers inside. Otherwise, the food was amazing I loved the bacon cheeseburger and the fries were very unique. I also loved the appetizer nachos!!! Great eats at seaside!!! I didn't have any alcoholic beverages but there was a full bar and an extensive bar menu. read more

We are locals and have stopped by many times over the years for pizza. Sunday night the pizza was awful. It was not fresh and definitely just reheated. The waitress was very efficient. Not her fault at all. We understand prices go up, however for the price of pizza the pizza should be very good. It was not. We won't go back. read more

I've been here a few times before and I knew better than to expect great food. But today was unsaid even by that standard. We ordered Buffalo wings, French fries, and three slices of their Pizza. The wings were overcooked, and very dry. Barely any sauce on them at all. The ranch that they give you with it is watery and flavorless. It tastes kind of like some sort of cheap knock-off that says that it's ranch dressing but isn't. Pizza was barely above room temperature and the cross was dried out such that it certainly seemed like it happened sitting under a warming lamp for a very long time. The french fries were the one stand out in the meal they were very good. read more

Went to check out big pizza..... Wasn't disappointed... Cheesesteak was delicious, as were the sawmill fries! Wife's Greek salad was fresh and delicious. Service was fine. Only minus was loud crowd. Wouldn't have minded it back in the day, but now???? Definitely would come back for takeout. read more

A jersey shore staple. Drinks here are amazing. The Orange crush is the best. The bar tenders arnt the best they are definitely more focused on the locals. The food is decent one of the best places on the boardwalk id say. A good place to come watch a game. The slices of pizza are huge. Food usually comes out fast though even when busy. You can dine in or there is a takeout section as well. Plenty of bar seating and regular tables as well. read more

Waited over 10 minutes at the bar to be served - 2 bartenders on a 100 degree day at 2:00 on Tuesday afternoon - I have patience but she took everyone around me first when I was there waiting !! For summer being the season to make your $ your bartender sucks ! read more

I recommend doing pick up, not worth dining in. After being sat by a hostess, my boyfriend and I waited 15 minutes (not exaggerating, we timed until we were greeted by our server as A JOKE, at first anyways). By the 15 minute mark, we noticed servers pointing at us and huddled around talking. I felt like I was in highschool all over again. By 20 minutes, I flagged down a server and asked if we were to ever be greeted by a server. He said ," You weren't even sat here by a hostess, why would we serve you?". I was shocked by this response, as this was false and the attitude was uncalled for. My boyfriend and I left afterwards, not worth paying for mediocre food and being treated like garbage for no reason. read more

Last night my hubby and I went up to the boardwalk looking for a bite to eat. It was later, about 8, and there were a lot of lines to go in restaurants. We decided to try the Sawmill and avoided their line by sitting at their bar. The place was very busy and lovely, which you expect down the shore on a Saturday night. The bartender was friendly and attentive. I decided the pork rabe sandwich on their menu sounded good. We got our beer and sandwiches quickly. It was hot & fresh and so yummy!! I loved the combo of the pork and broccoli rabe and provolone! The bread was crusty and crunchy! It was garlicky and cheesy! And the fries were hot and tasty too! We brought half of our meals home because the portions were generous! We were in and out within a half hour too! It was a good value for the price and we were pleased by the experience. We'll go back sometime. read more

Friendly bar on the Seaside Park boardwalk. Good pub grub and bar pizzas. Nice beer selections.

I enjoyed a very fresh sandwich and they gave me a good portion. I came here with my family as well, we were on a min vacation. Sawmill was an acceptable/good choice for a dining option in seaside. I don't think it was outstanding but it's acceptable if your hungry and don't like the other options around you. There did look like there were other options with live music, but sawmill was fine and I could hear everyone at the table. read more

For a pizza place located on the Boardwalk, I was pretty skeptical. My friends and I had just finished the Seaside Half Marathon and the race finished right by The Sawmill. I was so happy when I saw the slices were gigantic! Like actually gigantic. I asked for my slice extra toasted and it was delicious. I may be a little biased since I just ran 13.1 miles but all the runners said it was delicious too. Go for a nice stroll on the boardwalk and then check this place out! read more

The sawmill is a count of a popular place for the Jersey shore boardwalk. We had a really good time walking up and down the boardwalk we got really hungry and decided hey let's get some pizza. The slices of pizza were huge and very tasty we didn't get to finish all of them honestly so my kids of course not ever finish anything so are usually finish those for them but we couldn't even finish it my wife order to me slices so I had to give it to someone else that maybe he was in need of a slice of pizza so they were happy at least so that made us feel good. That being said this was a good establishment was pretty good boardwalk pizza read more

Sawmill is always our spot when we come back to the shore on vacation. We always come for the huge slice. We came here for my 40th birthday and had a few tables in the back. It was a great venue for a larger party of guests. The food was good, the bartenders were great too. read more

Can't even recommend this place anymore. Back in the day it was the place to go to and never had an issue. Sat at an empty bar tonight waiting for service to find out the bar was closed by others waiting to be seated and there was a 35 minute wait. We waited over 10 minutes at the bar. As we walked to the hostess there were 3 waitresses standing at the end of "empty bar". Would've been courteous to say something as we looked like fools. Left and went to the Beachcomber... read more
