We were invited to a dinner party at WCP The drinks were excellent Service was good I love their salad, great mix of veggies and a lovely dressing The chicken wings were excellent, I will go back for them. The Shrimp Pasta was very good The Chicken Marsala was disappointing, I didn't get much Marsala and I didn't enjoy the Spatzel. Solid experience read more

I came here towards the end of the night with friends and our waitress was friendly and accommodating. They had a Friday pizza night deal where pizzas were all $15 and came with a bottle of Chianti for a $10 up charge. While this was a good deal, I didn't really fall in love with anything we ate. The sidepiece pizza was drier than expected considering ricotta was one of the cheeses on it and the Caesar salad and Buffalo calamari didn't really stand out. We did enjoy the inside out pizza though. Because there are so many other places to eat in the area I see this as more of a place to grab a drink if you are passing through. read more

Great food. Long Live Langosta Lounge! The mahi sandwich is firemost. Bring back the pretzel please!!

Ordered chapel burger to go. It was the worst burger I ate. Asked for medium. It was totally raw. Buns were moist and burnt probably they put into the box very warm not sure. But the dealbreaker was the raw meat when I asked for medium. This was not a cheap burger. I don't care about how much it costs but it wasn't worth it . Never order again. Fries were ok. read more

Disappointing. Went on a Wednesday night eager to try the menu that I had reviewed on their yelp site. Unfortunately the restaurant handed over its kitchen and service to a taco pop up so the only food available circled around tacos. Once that was explained to us and I understood we were not getting one of the normal entrees for the restaurant we thanked our waitress, explained we were looking for their normal menu then we left. We will try again after Labor Day when we have a chance at the regular menu and not pop ups for tourists. read more

A hidden gem that I'm so happy to have tried! From the beautiful old building, cute courtyard and bar, this place is so inviting. The food is amazing - we shared the giant pretzel served with meats, cheeses, fruits, pub cheese, and the most delicious honey mustard I've had in a while charcuterie style. We shared the shoemakers pasta and the white pepperoni pizza - absolutely delicious. Our waiter was so friendly and attentive and we really enjoyed hanging outside listening to great music and enjoying our meal. read more

Great place, the food was fresh and flavorful, the ambiance is clean, surprisingly cool and the service was impeccable.

I was disappointed with my recent experience at WCP, but we're going to try and return because the food truly is excellent. When we went, they were clearly understaffed. Since putting up my review, their team contacted me to share that they had many call outs when I visited last and apologized. The food is great, the building is beautiful, and I'm hoping that if I come back in the future I'll have a better experience. Thanks WCP! read more

Great place although it is off the beach. The kitchen is top notch with lots of different tasty dishes to choose from including kids chicken fingers that are worth eating. Service is great too and the it is better even to sit outside if you are able because the inner courtyard is amazing. I wish they kept the brewery going on the premises for an even better experience but even without it it is a great eatery read more

What a great venue for a wedding! The staff is very attentive and, as the father of the groom, I was taken care of very well. We were able to walk over from our hotel, The Bungalow, but there is ample street parking too. The large outdoor space can be tented and used for the ceremony as well as for serving a sit-down meal and setting up a dance floor. There are also various indoor spaces including a bar for cocktail hour(s). Food quality was great as was the overall experience! If you need a place for an event or wedding "down the shore" this just might be it... read more

Went last night for a pasta making class! It was amazing! Another amazing night! Thank you

We've been to Whitechapel a handful of times now. They have a menu with something for everyone, a fully stocked bar, and a good amount of space. The bar and table service has been good and the food has been top notch. My nitpick comes from their beer selection. They have a modest selection of brews but very few, if any of their own. On my last visit, I didn't see any of their own beer on the list which was disappointing to me because I always want to try beer from the brewery that I'm visiting. Hopefully they can get more of their brews on tap soon and live up to the brewery name! read more

Food was meh, the menu isn't descriptive enough and you cannot figure out what you are ordering. For example we saw an option for grilled veggies and balsamic glaze, turned out to be a pizza and we had no idea it was a pie. Vegan bolognese - good but again, had no idea it was mushroom based. The drink - it was a spritz and tasted like rubbing alcohol. I have only returned 1-2 things in my life and their drink was pretty awful and I had no faith in their bartender read more

Very disappointed. Limited menu. Pizza was described as thin pizza and it was thick, with little flavor. My husband's short ribs were good, but the mahi sandwich and rigatoni was not tasty.I am glad I tried, but will not be returning. read more

I need to preface this by saying this meal took place in Feb 2024, so hopefully things are better now. It has stuck with us until now so I am writing this review. We were big fans of Trinity and the Pope in Asbury, it was such a special place. When we saw Whitechapel advertised some Trinity specials for their Mardi Gras celebration, we were so excited and made reservations. When we arrived, we were told someone stole our table and they set us up at a table in the music area. I requested on the phone to be sat outside the room where the band would be playing because we thought it would be too loud. The person on the phone never changed our reservation size or preferences so eight of us were crammed at a table for six. We looked over the menu and there were maybe three Trinity specials. The Jambalaya had braised meat and chicken wings on the bone inside? The peppers were crunchy and not cooked enough. The shrimp beignets were full of air and chewy. The $25 pretzel came with cheap charcuterie meats, orange slices, berries, pomegranate seeds, honey mustard and pimento cheese. The burger had manchego instead of cheddar, it's like they just used whatever was lying around the kitchen. Every burger was cooked one level or more below what was requested. They ended up taking all of them off the bill because we couldn't eat them they were so rare. The pizzas looked worse than what you would get at a bowling alley- cheap ingredients, very floppy. Our server was lovely but brought us our complimentary shrimp beignets at the end of the meal. They were better than the ones we ordered with our meal. Our server and the host/manager kept saying the kitchen was slammed since they normally have only a few tables a night. That would not explain the cheap ingredients. Drinks were around $14 each and the people in our group said they were the worst Manhattans they've ever had. They used chipped ice and became watered down. They did not look like they were made properly. I sincerely hope things have improved as it seems like many people enjoy this place. read more

LONG BRANCH: if you were to take a cool and quirky place from Asbury Park and drop it in Long Branch you get THE WHITECHAPEL PROJECTS. Seriously, it is a super cool, artistic, fun, unique, and interesting space! Leashed dogs are allowed in "The Yard," a large outdoor area with umbrelled picnics tables and table service. You can order craft beer that is made on-site in the brewery and also enjoy some locally brewed beers, sip on creative cocktails, eat delicious and distinctive food (Marilyn Schlossbach is the executive chef!), while enjoying the art dotted along the space and live music and markets! The building is very old and through adaptive reuse has transformed into an awesome space that you and your dog will fully enjoy! Located just a block from the beach too! read more

Employees were friendly and accomodating as we figured out where to sit in the empty restaurant. We put in an order for appetizers while we asked for a few minutes on what to drink. The food was great and came out quickly. But our waitress disappeared completely and we finished our food, and had been finished for awhile before she came back. We had asked someone if we could order drinks, but they said they had to look for our waitress. It left a bit of a bad taste in our mouth as neither her nor any one of the other employees that were standing around came to check on us. So we ended our visit early. read more

Wow!! This place was just amazing! We were a party of 6 and sampled various dishes including vegan cesar salad topped pizza, caccio pepe, and a couple if the other Pizzas. The food was satisfyingly good. Even the vegan among us was pleased. The atmosphere was trendy and rustic industrial. Low key but spacious and pleasant. The service was very nice and helpful. The waitress was informative and knowledgeable and the staff at large accommodating. read more

Interesting venue. Outdoor garden may be booked for a private event. It'd be helpful to check before you go, but they don't answer the phone. Food is ok. Service is good. Beer is not up to the level of other local breweries. This place used to have several vendors. Now it appears it's all under one management. I'm in no rush to return. read more

Awesome place to hang as the beach gets crammed jammed with people. The setting includes various forms of seating here from bar, to courtyard, to communal benches (perfect for your party of 4+) and then patio with more communal benches and view of the live music if any is performing. Difference between the courtyard area and the patio area is the courtyard is a bit more low key and no live music, but both you're sitting outside. I think this is one of the best parts about being here, that is whatever vibe you and your friends are feeling, you can go there (provided it isn't too crowded) I had the burger and fries which was alright and hit the spot but nothing that sets it a part from the run of the mill bar burgers I've had at many other places. There are however many other options in the way of grilled food I did not get to try. The drink options are plentiful with the bartenders eager to make recommendations, complete with an indoor and outdoor counter to get drinks at. Overall, I found this to be a great place to hang out and have drinks whether the beach is crowded or otherwise. Come by to hang out for some drinks. Beware the parking can be a bit messy due to it being adjacent to the beach. read more

We had a great evening and good food at TWP last week. The outdoor seating is comfortable and spacious. There were some large groups enjoying happy hour and snacks but the area did not seem crowded at all. Our meals were really very good. My wife had a green goddess salad that she said was one of the best salads she had in a long time and I had the Whitechapel Burger which was really delicious. The beer selection was good with a few brewed onsite and the rest from local NJ breweries and we both enjoyed our choices. The Whitechapel Projects is highly recommended for a great outdoor experience and good food. read more

First time there. Food and service was great. The show was very entertaining and professional.

One of the best brewery/beer gardens I've been to. The food is top-notch and I love the character of the place. My wife and I even considered having our wedding here because the venue is great. And of course the beers here are solid. A definite go-to spot if you're in the area. read more

They really did a nice job renovating this old building according to Evon, one of the employees, It's taken about five years to get everything up to code. This place will be really up and going when the weather gets warmer. There will be musical and art events. This place is a restaurant, a small brewery, and an entertainment center with its outdoor courtyard. Nice. There are murals out and around the building. I had a flight of brews to get the feel of the place. Their IPA was crisp and good. They also serve cocktails. Check out the menu, They have about 12 food items available ranging from $6 to $15. Foremost, this might be a potential arts and cultural spot for the city of Long Branch. It's Whitechapel Projects, plural. read more

The food and service was good, and the ambiance was excellent in holiday season. My son ate there with friends last week and was dinged for the $50 hold reservation charge. It took him a couple phone calls to be reimbursed. Fast forward to our reservation, and we were charged a hold reservation fee immediately after making the reservation. It was put on my wife's card and the charge has not been removed after two phone calls over five days. This is completely unacceptable, and has tainted my experience at WCP. read more

Excited to return and try something else from the menu Service was fast and friendly read more

My boyfriend and I came by yesterday for our first time for Happy Hour. What a gorgeous place to come wine and dine on any occasion. WCP was hosting a restaurant takeover and the menu was curated by Salt and Smoke Kitchen, which is a family run business that specializes in live fire cooking. The staff was lovely and the food was amazing! We tried the Smoked Chicken Wings and St. Louis Ribs (YUM!) Everything we ate was seasoned so well and cooked to perfection. The meat just falls right off the bone! The Fried Pickles are a MUST HAVE. Truly, the best fried pickles I have ever had in my entire life! And for dessert we couldn't decide between the Cinnamon Sugar Donuts or the Mini Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches...so we got both! Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the Donuts, because they were devoured before I got the chance. Highly recommend coming by on a Wednesday night for some great atmosphere, delicious brews, and out of this world food by Salt & Smoke Kitchen! read more

This is an amazing place! We have passed by on many occasions until now.. It will be a must stop for us while in Long Branch! The space is utilized well, open concept however it offers a variety of sitting options to please all, from groups to solo diners. We sat for a bit in their patio space to enjoy the warm evening... There is disk jockey playing music from here which can be appreciated by the surrounding area. We had already eaten and only tried their selection of brews.. I ordered a flight of 5 picked from the menu due to their intriguing description. I can't tell you which I liked best! They were all soooo good! The presentation and generous pour makes this place a true gem! read more

Really solid addition to the neighborhood in Long Branch. The place is HUGE! Especially liked the outdoor space - really cute and has lights up at bight. Beer selection is on point and they change it up quite a bit. Prices are a bit above average for NJ, reminds me a bit more of NYC prices. I did like they give you an option to do a 4 oz. Haven't really tried their food, but it looks excellent! read more

4 people of us 1. Service: no menu ever offered! My husband took one from next table, since nobody bring us menu, later we took another one from another table. Then waitress came asked what to order for drink without offering us menu. Soon as she brought us drinks, a waiter came to us ask for order food. I said we need few minutes( since 4 of us were taking turns to check 2 menus). As soon as he left, the waitress came back to us and ask for ordering food again. I told her "we need a few minutes, I don't even see the menu yet" and she just walked away. I had to got up and told the 3rd menu from the table behind of us! Ridiculous service, 4 people had to take 3 menus ourselves from other tables. 2. Ordered 3 Bloody Mary, all of us feel it has either no alcohol or way less alcohol than it should be in. 3. I ordered mussel fires. The soup was extremely greasy, and mussels were tiny. Don't try their fries unless you like soft soggy ones. 1 star for their burgers, delicious. read more

I was keeping an eye out for this place to open for the last couple of years. Well it finally did open and I can see why it took so long. They completely gutted and renovated an old brick building. I would term this place a brewpub because it is a brewery and they serve food. WCP right now is in a rundown part of LB. I say right now because the area, much like coastal LB, is going through a regentrification process. So in a few years I expect the city to have implemented further plans toward revitalization. Until then this place is an oasis. As you enter, you are in an old brick courtyard, if you will, that seems to be perfect for al fresco dining in more clement weather. Upon entering you walk over a mini moat (you have to see it) and now face a pretty lavishly and tastefully done bar. There are a few "rooms" here also beautifully done including a band stage for live music. You should go here at least once to take in the atmosphere and enjoy some fresh beer. My only minor complaint are the prices. There is a small menu; only 12 items. I didn't eat here but I spoke to a fellow patron who had the $15 burger and said it was "ok". An order of fries is the cheapest thing I saw at $6. I got a 14oz double ipa $7. Very good. I imagine WCP will do quite well during the warm weather. Good luck. read more

Found this place on yelp earlier this week so my wife and I decided to give it a try. 1st off their building is absolutely awesome. The size is incredible and we cant wait to come drink some beers outside this summer. Food: had the ploughmans plate. It was an assortment of pickled veggies and included awesome bread and cheese. Everything on the plate was incredible. Beer: they had 3 of their own beers on tap. We enjoyed all 3. They also had guest beers on tap which was a nice touch. We will for sure be back and can't wait to try more of their beers read more

Cool place Great look and outdoor space. Don't bother making a reservation as there is no host and I guess the waitstaff seat you as soon as they have a free moment Service I give an A. The severs have great knowledge of the menu and beverages. Cocktails underwhelming and served in banquet glasses so the portions are not like normal restaurants or going to a distillery, they are smaller and meh. Again the decor is cool and earthy. The beverage station in the middle of the room is odd. As a restaurant designer and owner I couldn't figure it out. The food is presented nice but everything we had was bland and had no flavor. Pretzels - no flavor, shrimp no flavor, burger. No flavor. The only items that had flavor was the fries and the potato soup. Which is funny as there both potatoes. And the soup was the least eye appealing dish but had the most flavor. Question for the chef. French onion soup burger served with mushrooms instead of onions???? read more

Hubby and I stopped by to check the new brewery in town after a long wait for it to open. I was very pleasantly surprised with what they've done with the building located in one of the more run down areas of Long Branch. Over the past year or so I've driven by frequently and admired the imagination and talent that went into the murals painted on the side of the building. The building is stone and looks beautiful. Upon entering you find yourself in a courtyard which I'm sure will be fantastic in the warmer months. Step into the building through the door on the right and you find yourself in the bar area. There are more murals along the walls inside the bar area as well as a few tables and tabletops where you can stand. There looked to be about 15 beers on tap and I tried the IPA. It did not disappoint. Wandering around the inside I came across another room where they presumably will have live music. There was a stage and several long, communal type tables lit with candlelight. It was beautiful! Outside there are even more tables and art in the enclosed yard. On this winter day it was barren but in warmer weather this too will be a great place to hang out. Although they do serve food we chose not to eat here. I have heard the food is good but it was a bit eclectic for my mood this particular evening. Maybe another time. I recommend checking this brewery out. It's off to a good start and I see a lot of potential here, especially as the area around it is soon to be reborn. read more
