    Classic Jersey Shore lunch
    Matthew S.

    The original bad boy down the Jersey Shore that started it all... I love WindMill. I love the smell of their meat being grilled on a flat top. I love their huge hot dogs that are 100% beef and contain its natural casing (it causes the hot dog to "snap", but adds more flavor). I love their chili cheese fries that are so hot that you must eat them with a fork. I love that they are so kind to dogs that they will give a free wiener to dog owners free of charge (well, that varies). I love that genuine Jersey Shore vibe that comes across every location. I love the celebrity reputation that it has (Bruce Springsteen is reportedly a big fan). I love that I can eat their food and not feel terrible afterwards. I love that I can enjoy a meal there without any guilt or repercussions. Have you figured it out by now that I love WindMill? Outside of Nathan's, there are not many places that I will go to when I crave a hot dog. It is a good thing I have WindMill to save the day for those hot summer days, or those cool winter ones. Even bad boys can have a soft side.

    This was a nostalgic visit for us. My husband grew up in Long Branch and frequented The Windmill often. Everything was the same as he remembered. We just got a chocolate shake this time around.

We were seated right away and we all loved the updated interior of the restaurant. Everything was very clean and upscale, and we loved the colors and subtle Jersey Shore theming. Our waitress was very kind and took our order promptly. We got two Barney hotdogs, one classic, one cheese fries and one fried zucchini sticks. Plus some sauerkraut and hot pepper relish on the side. Overall, we really liked our food. The hotdog buns were grilled, and the quality of the hotdogs were really good. I loved the ability to pile my hotdog high with extra sauerkraut and relish, which each had great flavor that paired well with the hotdog. The French fries and zucchini sticks were super crispy. The cheese fries however were more like cheese dipped fries, but the cheese was real pub type cheese. The zucchini sticks also came with horseradish sauce which I wasn't a huge fan of but everyone else at our table seemed to like. I will say, the hotdogs were a couple extra dollars compared to some other spots in the area, but you get a little higher quality ingredients and full food and bar service (which many other places don't have). Overall I really liked the quality in the food. While it wasn't a mind blowing experience, it is definitely worth a stop by. There are many other menu options besides hotdogs, the service is quick and friendly, and the look of the restaurant is definitely really cool to look at.

I used to go to this place when I lived in the area and never experienced such a stench. There were two what I thought were customers sitting eating. One after several of my glances struck me as disturbed or worse, huddled over his sandwich drooling and talking to the sandwich. Yes. And the other patron staring at from the back while eating seemed angry. Then he got up, shot back his chair and lo and behold, this was the guy on duty - so he charges up to the cash register still staring at me like he wants to cause me physical harm and not realizing this is a guy can small talk with, say in a friendly white guy voice "wow sorry - trying to have a little dinner?" He kept staring at my like he wanted to deck me and shiv me or exact some other street justice. "WHAT!! " he barked. Gosh, Windmill Warrior meant business! It did the trick - his threatening demeanor (actually an assault under the law) did the trick and off I went. I have a lot of patience and empathy for people that work jobs that aren't much fun. But he doesn't get hired to eat on duty or out on a tough guy act to threaten away customers. If management reads these, you need to address this because next time he puts on that act, a less civil guy than me might take him up on what he's serving - and it ain't cheese fries.
