I think I'm a foodie given the countless years of dining out for work and pleasure. The food at Local Goat is phenomenal. If you're in question what to order just sit at the bar and let Katie choose for you and Megan take care of you. I went back a second night in a row to experience their exceptional service and company, although minus one the next night (her name escapes me). Just go to learn more of the inside joke. Cheers to them both and Local Goat! Thank you!

The menu offers breakfast and lunch offerings. The food is made to order. Prices are really reasonable and they have a Kid's menu. The staff is super friendly. Food came out quickly. Beverages are self serve. The manager check on us several times. French onion soup was hot with a ton of peppery flavoring and plenty of cheese and onions. I thought the soup was a tad too salty. My husband had a hamburger with all the fixings. His burger came with chips. He loved the burger. My brother had a Rueben with a Bavarian style sauerkraut and potato salad. He devoured and loved his meal. WiFi is free. There is plenty of parking in their private lot.

Let me start by saying that I have filed numerous complaints at the corporate level but Jersey…read moreMike's Subs is a franchise so they pass on the complaints to the owner. Radio silence each and every time. If you can't be bothered to address the concerns of your customers then I can't be bothered to line your pockets with my money. If you look into my Shore Points History you will see that I had been a regular customer through 2022 and less frequently in 2023/24 (and now 2025). Specifically because of the consistently poor experiences at this location. I have lost track of the number of times that I have walked out of that location because of unprofessionalism, poor quality vegetables, long waits, etc..... I know JMS is convenient but give your money to an establishment that is going to appreciate you.
