Still the best place for breakfast on LBI, but alas.... I think they changed the pancake recipe. Should not need a knife to cut your cakes!

Simply the best breakfast anywhere on LBI. If you haven't been here? Go! If you have been here, you're probably a regular. Always excellent food, and service. Been coming here every year for over 30 years. Will be back again next year. read more

Fluffy pancakes - the best! Pigcasso- veggie omelette was excellent with abundant spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes and swiss cheese. It came with a choice of sides which I picked the pancakes (3 served). There was so much food had to get a to go box. Husband enjoyed the Pigs in Blanket. He said "Tasty sausage!" The Kids Happy Face Pancake was super cute topped with mixed fruit of bananas, strawberries and blueberries, whipped cream and chocolate chips. A generous portion of fresh strawberries was added on side and perfectly fresh and delicious. Kid devoured them. A mobile pig on wheels can visit your dining table; a fun whimsical tool for restaurant and for kids delight. Cows, pig decor on walls and shelving creates the homey ambiance. The metal music didn't seem appropriate for 8 am breakfast. Too much and with families with lots of kids, it was a bit intense. It did not add to the relaxing breakfast vibe. Someone is not reading the room/audience. Food Service was great, wait staff were attentive, responsive, anticipated our needs. read more

The best breakfast place on the island! Quick and efficient with lots of wonderful options. My go to is a make your own omelette with a short stack of fluffy pancakes. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and it is a welcoming, comfortable place to eat. My family has been going for over 40 years and it's only getting better with age. read more

My family and I love Uncle Will's breakfast menu! Everything we've had here is absolutely the best. Waffles, pancakes, burritos, home fries, biscuits and gravy. Not a single item on the menu is a bad choice, in my opinion! The service is always fast and the staff are friendly people. They get very busy in the summer, but in the off season it's our go-to breakfast spot living in the area. Go here and get the chocolate chip waffles, trust me! read more

Main breakfast items are a hit! Would recommend the tradition items to anyone, especially the pancakes! I had the warm peaches, eggs and hashbrown with bacon and a side of grits and it had all of the perfect aspects of a filling breakfast. Untraditional items maybe not 100% but come here for the breakfast! Our waitress was also on top of all of the things. read more

Great service and wonderful breakfast. Server was super attentive even though she was extremely busy. We'll definitely be back!!

Everything was so good we forgot to take a picture. We love coming here for breakfast when visiting LBI

First off, service was awesome. The guy at the front was very friendly and helpful. I Ordered a pork roll , egg and cheese and 2 coffees. Besides for the astronomical price of $25 for a breakfast sandwich and 2 black coffees, the food itself was awful. Served open faced on a non toasted English muffin this sandwich was completely void of flavor and substance. Apparently , ownership at Uncle Will's has instructed their staff to 86 salt, pepper and any other seasonings that might give their food flavor. The potatoes were par cooked and bland. Again, ZERO seasonings. CHEGG, any of the bagel shops, bakeries.markets or even WaWa will give you a better breakfast. Avoid this overpriced, under flavored restaurant if possible. read more

Quickest service ever! The vibe was fun, lively, and colorful. You can tell this restaurant has been a staple for many many years. The food was pretty good and simple. Would recommend this to anyone stopping by for a quick reliable meal read more

Can't believe it took me this long to try Uncle Will's! We went on a Tuesday morning and were seated right away. The menu has so many options, it was so hard to choose an entree! My friends got the banana nut pancakes and I got the Van Goat omelette. Need to go back again soon! read more

We love Uncle Will's for breakfast at the beach. You should love the cutesy pig-laden decor. It can get noisy when it's crowded because of the lively atmosphere. We have had eggs, omelets, pancakes, and French toast at different times we've visited. The food is always delicious. Your coffee will never run dry -- and it's good! This time, I had pumpkin pecan pancakes with watermelon on the side. I got a 1/4 a melon! Delicious and sweet, pancakes were laden with pecans. They don't cheat you. The service is friendly. They take cards now, including contactless. I highly recommend Uncle Wills, and I think you should come early or later to beat the crowd. read more

We went to Uncle Will's for break fast. I got the Eastern Shore Benedict. It is a Uncle Will's crab cake on a golden croissant with grilled asparagus, roasted red peppers, topped with 2 poached eggs & hollandaise sauce. It was absolutely delicious. The other people I was with had the Lemon Strawberry Crapes and a Classic Benedict. All were delicious. Very busy place but I can see why. Great atmosphere and great food. read more

Uncle Will's was fabulous and provided us a 5-star breakfast experience. For a party of 9, they were very accommodating in giving us Sunday morning reservations before hand. And, glad we had those reservations, because the place was packed. The menu is extensive, with so many breakfast options and large portion sizes. I like the fact you have the option of selecting french toast or pancakes with your omelet, instead of the basic toast. I'm always torn between a sweet or savory start to the day. This way I had both! Their fresh squeezed OJ is also very good. The interior is bright and cheery and has a "pig theme". Service was very quick and friendly, even though every table in the house was full. read more

Good food and kid friendly! Fast, friendly service and real good coffee! I would definitely go back, good value for family with little kids.

Always a favorite vacation breakfast spot when my kids we younger... they are now in their (ahem) 30's... convinced my husband to take me back and was not disappointed. Food delish, staff friendly and I even got to sit with the pig! read more

Please make your coffee in pots and not an industrial machine and I'll give you five stars. Thank you McDonald's chef reveals why coffee from fast-food giant tastes so good https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/mcdonalds-chef-reveals-coffee-fast-food-giant-tastes-so-good read more

I can't say enough good things about Uncle Wills. The breakfasts combos are amazing, the coffee is delish, and the portions are ample. I remember when we went and our kids were small, they would pull over a chair and Uncle Will (the pottery pig) would sit with us for breakfast. We've returned year after year. Get there early, they fill up fast! read more

A fun,family-oriented breakfast place with an adorable mascot and delicious pancakes! The restaurant realy reps its pig mascot with a little seat buddy and tons of merchandise. The seating space is a little cramped but nothing that I would consider being too close to other patrons. The food service is pretty quick with an order coming out within maybe 10 minutes. The only downside to this place is on the difference in wait staff. Some parts of the restaurant had really great servers who were attentive but unfortunately, my waiter/waitress were never around and had to keep reminding them to please get water glasses for us. This place gets incredibly packed and the wait times can be rather lengthy if you're not there at opening so I highly recommend waking up early to nab your grub! read more

Uncle Will's is the best breakfast experience on LBI. Pancakes are amazing with a ton of different varieties. There are also plenty of other breakfast options to choose from. Even though it's a popular spot, the staff is very good about getting your party seated in a very reasonable amount of time. Best of all, kids love it when the pig comes to visit their table! read more

Damn this place gets packed, but it was well worth the wait (1.5 hr). They take your phone number so we took the opportunity to explore despite it raining like a mofo that day. We went down to some of the gift shops to pick up sweaters and miscellaneous LBI apparel. Got the call and told em we'd be right back over in five minutes. They gladly held the table which we definitely appreciated! Had a chance to try the short rib benedict and red neck benedict. I thi k I prefer the redneck, but both were very good. I was very happy with the well done potatoes that I requested! Great spot for brunch and awesome service. read more

Uncle Will's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Beach Haven, New Jersey

Uncle Will's has proven to be a consistent option on LBI. They are accepting credit cards as of this review. The menu is large with many breakfast options. Portions are large. Small lunch menu is available. Service is quick and friendly, even on the busiest weekends. They offer healthy options and one of my favorites is the low-fat green yogurt parfait. Always grab yourself a piece of crumb coffee cake. read more

Very friendly service. Easy online ordering and curbside pickup. Online ordering shuts down at 1:00PM daily, and I had the distinction of placing one of my orders at 12:59PM. That impressed them. I called several times at 1:10PM and they took my order by phone. We were disappointed that they closed at 1:30PM every day in late September/early October. I probably would have ordered more often had they been open for dinner. My favorite menu item is the HUGE Veggie Benedict. I could never finish the entire portion. HUGE (what seemed like homemade) garden veggie burger on very delicious 7-grain toasted bread, roasted red peppers, melted Havarti cheese, and 2 poached eggs. A generous amount of every ingredient. The veggie burger is also available a la carte as a "side," towards the end of the menu, and I ordered that a few times. Quite a few times, I ordered the 4 oz nova lox, which was consistently fresh and high quality. None of the stringy stuff that poor quality lox sometimes has. I like avocado toast topped with lox, so I ordered their avocado toast several times and added the lox myself. I think sliced tomato is available as a side with avocado toast, and that goes well with the lox. I tried the crumb cake and it was good. More crumbs than cake. Lots of cinnamon. Yummy. read more

I would give a 3.5 if I could but it's not quite a 4. The food was good, just not great. We arrived around 8 on a weekday in the summer and there was no wait. There were 4 of us and a toddler and they jammed us at a table for 4, which was a little tough. Overall, food was ok but nothing to die for. I'd try another option in the future. read more

The family and I go to get our annual Uncle Will's breakfast to kickstart our week at the Jersey shore. Every year we are always impressed by how quick they are to serve up some fresh breakfast staples. It's a well oiled machine and you can start the timer. I literally ordered my food and went to the restroom quickly and the food was waiting for me when I returned. The food is delicious. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I got the eggs Benedict and it was very tasty. The pancakes are also a fan favorite because of how big they are! Definitely would highly recommend. read more

Uncle Will's - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Beach Haven, New Jersey

This place is buzzing, even in the off peak season! They have several tables outside for dining, and the inside was super packed for 10AM on a Saturday in September. Uncle Will's seems to be a local and tourist favorite, so it is expected that you will have to wait for the goodness. Since neither myself or my bestie were mentally prepared to do indoor dining since COVID is still a thing, we ordered to go and opted to eat in the park a block away. We ordered the eggs benedict and she got eggs florentine, each with their own helping of home fries; a breakfast staple, in my personal opinion. We were told to chill for 20 minutes, so we did just that at the cute shop next door. Although the prices were a bit steeper than what I was expecting, the food was down right wholesome and delicious. The eggs were good and runny, and I sopped up the yokes with the english muffin and taylor ham bed that it was sitting on. The presentation wasn't what mattered; it was the taste and comfort it delivered as we ate. I felt like someone gave my belly a hug and then laid me down on the bed for a mid-morning nap. I would definitely hit this place up again on our next visit! read more

Great breakfast and great prices. Most varieties of pancakes are $8-$9, you won't find prices like that anywhere else on the island. We decided to upgrade and get pancakes with a combo to get eggs and home fries. All of the food was great! It gets busy but the staff hustles! Food comes out fast and tables turn over quickly. Our server was super friendly and helpful, even though we kept asking for multiple things, she was on top of it and always smiling. read more

We began enjoying Uncle Wills 23 summers ago with our 2 daughter ages 4 months and 3 years. From our first visit we've loved what a special place it is for family breakfasts together. Having both our now grownup kids at the shore for the weekend we just returned from our first visit of 2023, in every aspect we enjoyed the delicious food, attentive service and overall happy beach vide hospitality. It's truly amazing how wonderful it was! Thank you Marjie and Tom and the entire crew at Uncle Wills! Tom & Louise read more

Can't believe I have never written a review of this long time LBI breakfast spot. Get there early, there's a line. The pig - themed restaurant, including a large pig on wheels who can visit you at your table, is a great hit with the younger set. Breakfasts--eggs, omelets, waffles and pancakes--are tasty and delivered promptly and correctly. There's a cute pancake with a funny face on the kids menu. Home fries are good. The giant tub of butter has always amused my family, and the fresh fruit - not the fruit side served with the breakfast, which can be a little soggy and sad, but the separate fresh fruit you order off the menu - is usually excellent. read more

First timers-- we live at the other end of island, so do most of our dining out in that area. What a treat! Adorable ambience - very friendly and quick service. Right now they are only open for breakfast, but in season- lunch and dinner as well. I had the Van Goat omelette and chose the French toast as a side. Delicious!! Hubs chose the Eggs Barnegat with grits ( twist on eggs Benedict ) and enjoyed every bit of it. Definitely joined the clean plate club today. Prices are reasonable and we will definitely return. read more

I've been going to Uncle Will's with my family for years - it's a staple of the LBI experience for me. I often get either their crepes or their French toast (which are both consistently delicious) but they have a very extensive menu - and one filled with puns. The interior is a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with pig-themed decorations all over the walls. The wait time for a table can get quite long in the summertime, and they don't allow you to call ahead (last I checked) so you'll have to be patient, but it's worthwhile. read more
