My husband and I went to Waypoint for lunch. The view is beautiful. My lobster and shrimp roll was really good and so was my husband's pulled pork sandwich. I ordered the NJ Lemonade, I think that's the name of it. There was barely a drop of vodka in it. The service was really good and the prices are comparable to other restaurants in the area. read more

lobster and shrimp quesadilla NOT!!!! 2 pieces of shrimp and one claw cut up. The manager "George" told me that the meat was weighed and measured out. In other words suck it up.

The evening started out ok, and progressively went down hill. Food was mediocre. We (4 of us) never saw our waiter again after receiving the food. We sat waiting for him to return to no avail. Saw him running around outside waiting tables but not ours. We tried to get his attention but that didn't happen. We wanted our check, 20 minutes passed by and nothing. Knocked on the kitchen window and some snotty waitress started screaming at me you have to wait for your check. After that we had enough, put money on the table and walked out the door. We never did receive our check and we certainly will not be back because of the food or the horrendous service. View what view there are so many boats in the water? What water couldn't see that either. read more

Don't use the valet parking there. They out source the parking to a third party. Our car and another were damaged in the lot. I saw the valet (who I think was under influence) back our car into another). After numerous calls to the valet company, none of our calls and emails have been returned. Something shady going on and so wrong. Shame on you Waypoint 622 for not helping. read more

Always amazing!!! Love our server Olivia, she is what makes this place!!! Great food & drinks... right on the marina.

No wonder this place is literally empty. Should've read yelp's reviews. What a waste. Not only did the food suck, the manager sucked the worst. The food,to be honest, was mediocre at best. That being said, the so called chopped salad was nothing more than you throwing pieces (not chopped) of iceberg with about 3 pieces off a slice of red onion and 2 cherry tomatoes sliced and some manufactured provolone. Also bottled dressing, not their specialty made one. When explaining my first time there and that the salad (after settling for the lousy scanty food, seafood quesadilla), wasn't what I had hoped for, the happy angry loser manager says he would box it up and I said I really don't want it, and in his pleasant nasty demeanor of fight or flight said it was staying on the bill. Well, he obviously is not much to be desired just like the food and deserves to stay the miserable POS that he is. And for the view, please don't waste your time unless you like looking at a boat slip parking lot because that is the view Go to Spikes or anywhere else!! read more

I knew going in that the food was not going to be great, but went for a night out, close to home. I ordered the crabcakes, which was expensive, and when arrived, shredded crab, not lump crab. My daughter previously ordered the crabcake app, it was fried and took it home only to end up in the garbage the next day. Frankly, Ive had better food at a gas station. Our waitress was nice and the drinks were good. Maybe I should have ordered a few more drinks before dinner, so that would have numbed my pallate so the horror of the food would have been less. I cancelled a reservation at Shipwreck to sit outside and all I could think about was what I passed up. For $171.00, I am left with mild nausea and a bad memory. read more

The view was beautiful and the food was well prepared. I peaked at a few other tables and the sushi looked amazing. I wish I had tried it. read more

Waypoint 622 - Pina colada and mussels - Bars Near Me - Brielle, New Jersey

I live locally and can always rely on a great meal at Waypoint. The food is consistently great and the service is always very fast with kind and helpful workers. Also can't beat the view! Not sure why Pig&Parrot tends to attract more of a crowd, I would definitely choose Waypoint every time! read more

Well, let's just say it was an evening of disappointment. Our goal was to go to one of our favorite places the Whiskey Lounge. However, when we pulled into the parking lot, to find it is listed as temporary closed, later that evening we learn it is permanently closed. Why this is relevant to this review is the whiskey lounge is and was owned by the same people as Waypoint. So we decided to take a chance on the waypoint. We figure the food is excellent at the whiskey lounge, I would think it would be excellent at the waypoint not to mention a view. Well let's just say we figured wrong. There's only a view! Happy hour of specialty bourbon and whiskey drinks, charcuterie pretzels and gourmet grilled cheese that we have grown to love and crave are not even offered at waypoint instead, we settled on a spinach and artichoke dip which tasted like it was frozen and shoved in the oven, seafood quesadilla that was mostly filled with corn and a shrimp. lobster roll that I needed a search party to find the lobster. Now let's get into the price. OVERPRICED ! I would have walked out of the whiskey lounge spending under $100 with a full belly and a great time instead, I walked out of the Waypoint and I felt robbed. Waypoint has a view, but lacks everything that the whiskey lounge had. I think the wrong restaurant closed. read more

Waypoint 622 - Firecracker Shrimp and Fried Calamari - Bars Near Me - Brielle, New Jersey

This might have been the worst service ever. We were a party of 8 and 2 of our group were late. The server came to take our order but we said we would wait and get drinks. Service was slow and the place wasn't that busy. Our server had an attitude that we laughed about throughout our dinner. When our guests arrived she took their drink order and forgot one of them. We had several rounds with some people getting drinks and others forgotten. (Beers by the way... should be simple, right?) Our sushi orders which were delicious came out as one order which was awkward separating them. Server was very slow in bringing check and processing it. Overall a disappointing experience. read more

I've been to Waypoint at least 6 times over the past 5 years and can't believe I didn't review it. For the view and vibe it's a 5 star. I tell people who want to sit by the water to go here. There are no reservations for the patio so plan accordingly. Here at the Jersey Shore we are over run with visitors in the summer. If you can work around your beach schedule I would do an early lunch. The menu is sandwiches and salads mostly and it's better for lunch. I usually get the California wrap which disappointed me this time. They used to put a spicy aioli but it was either missing or not an option now so my wrap was not great. The other diners had a wedge salad, lettuce wraps with chicken, and pulled pork. Only the pulled pork got a thumbs up. Chicken wings were good. Highlight of the night was the chocolate cake - that was delicious! Tough call on the rating, I think the food has slipped on taste, service was good, view is great. read more

As a local, we've been here a few times but I've never felt strongly enough about the restaurant either way to write a review about it. Tonight, however, we ran into a little issue with the new manager Jorge. My girlfriend and I arrived for her birthday dinner as the first two people of a party of nine. As a policy, we were told that there's no waiting list or reservations and they're not able to hold any tables while you're waiting for the rest of your party. All well and good there -- the other seven people arrived and we were promptly seated on the overflow terrace. Here's where the problem occurred. It was over ninety degrees outside and we were sat in the corner of the terrace behind some tall foliage which blocked what little breeze there was. There was another table about twenty feet away that was empty with no parties waiting, so we asked to switch so we could be a little cooler while eating. The hostess at the hostess stand said she had to check with the manager if we could switch tables even though we weren't even seated yet and nothing had been brought to the table. A few minutes later, the manager Jorge comes over and says, "I heard you had a question about the table." We repeated our request to switch tables since there were no parties waiting to sit down. Rather than apologize or make any sort of concession, he rudely stated that they were holding that table for a party of fourteen and that we couldn't move. When we told him that we were just told by the hostess that they don't hold tables as a policy, he became standoffish and vaguely pointed to the parking lot stating, "the party is coming right now so we can't move you". The other party did not arrive for forty minutes after that conversation. Forty minutes. Additionally, Jorge tried to pass the buck off onto the owner as if that would make it appropriate to look a customer in the face and lie to them. I've been to many of the restaurants in the area, and Jorge was without a doubt the rudest manager I've ever interacted with. As a manager, you should understand that you are a role model for other employees and that your actions reflect on the restaurant as a whole -- this is a concept that Jorge has clearly failed to grasp. If I was the owner of Point 622, I would have a chat with Jorge about his glaring lack of customer service skills before he ruins anyone else's experience. On to the food and service. If you do end up dining here, ask for Billy Joe to be your waitress. She was kind, attentive and it was an overall pleasure to be served by her. She radiated positivity and good energy, which is not easy to do while waitressing in a mask in ninety degree heat. Get that woman a raise! While not a stiff pour, the Garden State Lemonade was a delicious and refreshing cocktail. The tuna tartare was a little bland but not terrible. The portion size was great but the tuna itself was barely seasoned so you have to make sure to get some of the sauce on the plate with every bite. It was too hot for a real entree, so I went with the seafood cocktail ($26) which was small but fresh and very tasty. I finished with a tiramisu which was quite nice -- I'd recommend that to anyone who dines here and loves a quality tiramisu. Unfortunately, while Billy Joe was an incredible waitress and the food was fairly decent, the negatives outweighed the positives here for us. It's a shame that a rude manager with an attitude problem detracted from what was otherwise a good birthday dinner. We will most likely be taking our business elsewhere moving forward. read more

I don't write reviews but I had a horrible experience at Waypoint 622. Specifically with the manager George. After a waitress accidentally up charged me $40 on drinks, I asked the manager George to check the bill. the bill was already paid, and I asked George to look it over. George refused to look at the bill, and told me not to complain. After asking for his name, he refused, stormed off, then came back and continued to tell me how I was wrong. Me and my girlfriends were shocked. He treated us so rudely. And there was a huge mistake on the bill! He tried to be little me, even saying "congratulations on being able to do math." Other customers came up to us, asking if we were okay since he was being so disrespectful to three young women. The next day, we came back to speak to a women manager who said I would be refunded and other waitresses said they saw what was going and knew George was in the wrong. I was told he was going to call and apologize for his actions...and yet he never did. Instead, the women manager apologized on his behalf. Many excuses were made on his behalf. All I am getting is my refunded money back and a horrible experience at Waypoint. Search his name in Waypoint reviews and you will see others complaining about the manager George. Beware if you go to Waypoint and a mistake is made by them it will be a challenge to fix it! read more

Very fun place with a wide open bar the staffing service is excellent the drinks are delicious and the beer is cold it's located on a dock at the Brielle yacht club the view is stunning. I had a dozen clams they were very good admits it on tomato tower and a lobster roll I thought the lobster roll could've used a little work but overall I really enjoyed the meal and I will definitely be back read more

Waypoint 622 - Mozzarella tomato - Bars Near Me - Brielle, New Jersey

This is our 1st time here. It is AMAZING!!! We started with cocktails. I had a cosmo. I love them. This is probably the best one I have ever had. Did not get the bartenders name. To eat My husband had the burger and I had the California chicken wrap. He said was one the the best burger he ever had and I know this was the best wrap I ever had. Everything was so fresh. Jose V was our wait staff. He was so friendly. He came to check on us at appropriate time. Not when out mouths were full and not to often to make us feel rushed. Definitely recommend this place. It's going to be our new go to. read more

Waypoint 622 - Sitting on the deck. With or without an umbrellas a great option - Bars Near Me - Brielle, New Jersey

Wonderful ambiance and waterside views in a very pleasant setting with attentive and cooperative service. However....I think the food isn't very inspired. The fried calamari were the tiniest I've ever seen, rubbery and all rings, no tentacles. Edamame was ok -- (hard to wreck) And the sushi we tried was just average. Having said that, it's a very nice atmosphere for drinks on the deck, overlooking the boats and Inlet. Next time: just drinks and no food. read more

Food was ok. No water view nothing but a sea of boats. Service was non existent. Food came in a timely manner. We were unable to get the check after waiting 1/2 hour. We finally left money on table. Won't be back. I sent an email to the restaurant. It'll be interesting to see if I get a response! read more

My wife and I went there for lunch today. Brittany our server and bartender was very attentive and offered a few suggestions. My wife had the lobster and shrimp sandwich, which was excellent and not sitting of a bed of lettuce to make it look like you're getting a lot of lobster like some local waterfront restaurants. I had a burger, which was cooked exactly the way I asked, was juicy and very tasty. In addition, the French fries were actually hot and done to perfection. I do not eat fish so I eat a lot of burgers and this could be at the top of the list. Thank you Brittany for the great service! Be back again. read more

I had dinner with a girlfriend for the first here earlier this week and had such a nice night, despite the ungodly heat and humidity. The view is spectacular! The overall vibe was very much casual patio bar. Our waitress was very polite and friendly and allowed us to take our time with the menu. For drinks we got Aperol spritz which was a perfect light refreshing drink for the heat. For appetizers, we got the southwestern salad which had the perfect mix of toppings and the dressing was spot on. For dinner, I got the fried crabcake and my friend got the chicken wrap. Both were tasty and a good size. For what it is, a patio sandwich/salad place, it is great. I wouldn't classify it as a dinner dinner plce. The only reason for it not being a 5/5 is the crab cake sandwich didn't have any toppings on it like most sandwiches do and the menu had a lot of shrimp. Not that I don't love shrimp, you just can't eat it for every part of your meal. Also, I didn't see a dessert menu which was a let down. read more

The view is amazing from the deck as was our food. Great service from Heather and friendly staff. read more

Our initial impression was poor. We were greeted by the manager, George, who seemed to go out of his way to be rude and unhelpful. Despite several tables being open on the patio, he would not seat our group there. None were reserved because the restaurant doesn't take reservations. We were offered a table by the parking lot or inside when the whole point of coming to this restaurant was to enjoy the view. And he did it all with a TON of attitude. If it was my restaurant I'd fire him immediately. The only highlight was our wonderful server Patricia who did her best to mitigate a train wreck of an evening. The food was mediocre but that may have been due to the bad taste in my mouth read more

The only good thing about this restaurant is the beautiful view. I went there today because it was an unseasonably warm day for October and we wanted to dine outside. My fried seafood platter consisted of 5 small frozen shrimp and a few oysters which were tasteless and unrecognizable, oh - I almost forgot to mention the clam strips . It is just not acceptable at the Jersey Shore where fresh seafood is so readily accessible. Don't waste your money here. By the way , the Cuban sandwich that my sister had was awful . read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch on the weekend. Not crazy busy but a very rude waitress and then manager. They switched us to two different tables then forgot about us. I have to say the chicken sandwich was pretty decent but the beer and drinks were expensive. I guess they figure most people own a boat and have a lot to spend. Maybe everyone there was edgy because it was a nice day and they were working. Once people go back to work it may get better. I forgive because even though there was no customer service by the staff they were at least working. read more

I actually like the food and drinks, but can we all talk about how bad the lighting is? Nothing says ambience like Flood lights and fluorescents! read more

We will never go there again. Didn't want to sit in the sun, so we ask the manager if we could just push a table back a few inches out of the sun and he said no. He was not interested in accommodating us and suggested very rudely, to bring our own umbrella. Then screamed to us to get the f- - -k out of his restaurant and go back to New York in front of everyone. (We are not even from New York, we are local and loyal customers, so I don't know what that meant) I tried to call the owner, but got him again. I don't think this is the first time the manager was rude and mean after reading other reviews. HIRE ANOTHER MANAGER!!! geez!!!!!! Stay away from this place until they get a calmer one! read more

How can a great location be this bad? The waitress was just flat out rude! We went for lunch Sunday 4 of us and she called the other couple mom and dad . I am 58 and they are 63. Mom and Dad??? We had 2 table settings asked 3 times for the other 2 and did not receive until after our meals came. Well that would 3 of the 4 meals and the cranky smile less manager brought mine out after 5 minutes. Still no silverware. No ketchup no sauce no silverware, no napkins and no water which she stated she would bring as we looked at the 2 menus we were given instead of 4.The food was good but the RUDE waitress then threw the check on the table before we finished and said have a nice 4th. We had to ask the busboy who dropped the utensils and our fries on the ground for containers. No use complaining to the manager as he looked like he should be anywhere but dealing with people. This is a BIG PASS read more

Upon arrival we were met by George. We asked to be seated on the patio and were told no, we were offered seating closer to the parking lot or inside. We opted for inside and were seated in a totally empty room at a table in the glaring sun. We asked to move to one of the other 5 empty tables and were refused. George was rude and obnoxious and ruined an otherwise nice meal. The waitress was great, the food was good but George was not acceptable. Look for another venue. read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon. Sat outside on the deck. No problem getting a table, and no wait. Plenty of room and tables were spaced appropriately. The hummus and pita appetizer was really good! My red sangria was excellent as well. I had the short rib tacos, which were delicious but very messy. Wish they had come with something other than tortilla chips. A side of rice and beans would have been a better choice. Prices were reasonable. I think my friend and I paid 14 for our lunches. Not bad, especially for the area. Our waitress was very nice and not overbearing. I will definitely come back, i would like to try dinner here before it gets too cold to eat outside :) read more

I grew up coming to this place and was unfortunately very disappointed with our last trip. The rare tuna was overdone (deep fried at that!) and the salad was soaked in a mayo-heavy dressing with a ton of mushy blueberries, yuck. We were brought the wrong drinks, and it took quite awhile to flag someone down to fix it, then when the right ones finally came, the pour was super weak! Yikes. Won't be returning, super sad because the ambience is fantastic. read more

Understaffed. Long wait for truly mediocre food. If it didn't have the view, it would be out of business in one month. You can see point lobster across the inlet. Go there if you're hungry. If you're just there for a beer, fine...I suppose. read more

Came for a Repass ... we had the entire inside area.. it's really a nice place right off the water, watching the boats come in and out was very serene. The drinks were very good , the staff very attentive. The food was ehhhh .. I'd go back for the ambiance if I'm ever down in that neck of the woods again... read more

Have had better service here in the past, but this time the manager was rude to the point that I had to leave. Was with my 88-year old mother and the manager could not accommodate us on a low rise table in the shade. Couldn't do it because it meant trouble for the wait staff. Can't recommend for this reason. read more

Waiting 90 min still no "love boat ??" Im not loving this place.

Conveniently located right next to Hoffman's Marina. Great outdoor seating area overlooking the water. Good service. A locals favorite, fun ambiance. Food was good, although in the dish we had the Dungeness crab was too salty. We think it is the way it comes prepared in the brine, as the rest of the seafood in the dish, as well as the broth, was perfectly seasoned. read more

As a fan of the old Union Landing, which was never a gourmet spot but great for a nice view, a drink and a burger, I was excited to try Waypoint 622. I went with a group of 5 girls and we had an indoor dinner reservation at 8. We arrived shortly after 7 to enjoy an aperitif on the outside deck. The bar was absolutely packed as was expected for Brielle in the summertime. Some folks had their dogs dining with them at outdoor tables! Our table was ready promptly at 8. Wine selections were pretty good, with cellar options for those looking to splash out, and a nice variety. We opted for Rosé and Pinot Grigio both served graciously by our server, CJ, who was attentive and polite. The olive bread served with garlic oil was excellent. Mako bites and firecracker shrimp apps were kind of bland and left something to be desired. For dinner, I ordered the "Omakase Special" (which really isn't- you choose a special roll, 4 pieces of sushi or sashimi, and a house roll). All sushi was fresh and the salmon was buttery and really outstanding. My dining companions ordered a few different entrees. The bone in pork Milanese was lacking seasoning, unfortunately. My friend enjoyed the lamb but it was ordered medium rare and was slightly overdone. The salmon was fair as well. Overall the entrees lacked pizzazz. Of note- the service was excellent. One member of my party has celiac disease and Our server CJ was happy to confirm that what she selected was gluten free. Overall, Waypoint is a nice place, but at this price point the entrees could use a little work. I would probably return for drinks and maybe a casual lunch on the outdoor deck. read more

Excited about eating outdoors...it's what most of us look forward in the summer. Unfortunately the Open Table reservations only apply to inside dining all of a sudden, or you can wait for 2 hours. Decided to eat inside...not much ambiance but the food was good. On the other hand, service was slow and below average. Better places to spend your summer and time. read more
