Seen on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown. Cheesesteaks served hot & fast, onions taste great. It looks like it hasnt been updated since its 1943 opening. But when it's busy, crowd piles on top of you.
Unlike others that entertain w/ same mediocre Chef tricks, show & food, Kiku serves a # of options apart frm tasty teppanyaki: amazingly fresh & creative sushi rolls & other yummy Korean dishes.
The Waterfront buffet is great like always. Have a small breakfast and late lunch early dinner here. You will not mind spending the 35$ a person. I guarantee it.
One of the best gourmet-style Angus burgers I've ever had. Zucchini fries, cole slaw, & Bananas Foster shake are great too!;9
If you're watching your lbs or craving a variety of their homemade pastas, get 1/2 orders instead! I liked the shrimp cavatelli over their gnocchi. The veal sorrentino is a must-try!
Touted as celebrity haunt & a fave teppanyaki w/ views, Mt Fuji, also offers a $27 AYCE super Sunday brunch 11:30am-3pm menu
Tip: If you're on the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk & have a sweet tooth, this place has it all- ice cream, cotton candy, fudge, & all sorts of candies & candied apples.
If you're gonna go anywhere on the Shore for fried pickles, these are the best!
Best Orangeade (made w/ real oranges!) I've ever had & frozen custard's pretty good too!
My other faves: NE clam chowder, MD-style Crabcakes, local fried scallops, potato salad, & corn on the cob (when in season July~early Sept)!
Know what ur getting...ask waitress to bring #1 (larger) vs #2 (smaller) Blue Claw crabs to compare sizes - varies daily! I eat 'em Shanghainese way-simply steamed-w/ Chiangkang Black Vinegar sauce!
Why drive to MD to have best whole Blue Crabs done MD-style or in a garlic sauté + MD Crabcakes when u can come here?! MD Crab & NE Clam chowdas (altho' watery) are tasty. Order drinks & wait it out!
Worst hotel in AC we've ever stayed in! Floor & room smelled musty & bathroom was dirty & full of mold. Be sure to check your final bill we were overcharged for bottles of water we didn't even drink!
Epic find: the best carnitas (& pollo) taco I've had on the E coast! It goes head-to-head w/ a few of my faves on the W coast. Their tortillas were freshly handmade w/ corn masa right in front of us!
Although I love the Pho, it's inconsistent. Noodles were perfect on 1st try & too soft & overcooked on 2nd but broth was heavenly. Don't bother ordering Banh mi (sammies)-they totally skimp on meat!
Like Viet pho joints in LA-most phenomenol pho (Viet beef soup noodle) I've tasted on E coast! I recommend squeezing some lime in the broth. Cha gio (spring, not Summer rolls) are damn good too!
Saw great pics & reviews on Yelp of MD-style crab cakes & came here to find that it's only a take-out window. Unfortunately, we had to leave since there's absolutely no seating or tables outside.
If u love hot dogs, this is THE place! Dogs are deep-fried-w/cracked, crispy casings & juicy insides. Top it w/ their famous house-made sweet mustard-based relish made w/cabbage, onions, and carrots!
Open WED - SUN 11am - 6pm. Closed MON & TUE. Spend $25 to park FREE in Wave Garage
Unless you wanna wait for your food for 1 1/2 hrs, don't come during peak hrs..oh..and don't go when I go. ;p *Hint: they're open late!
If ur psyched for Strawberry season, Johnson's Corner Farm Strawberry Festival is kicking off Memorial Day Wkend Fri 5/25-Sun 6/3/18 (or following wkend) w/ hayrides to the patch, games + a BBQ.
Great place for the family! Get the blueberry wine, I promise you that you don't be disappointed.
They jacked the prices here in 2017 to an insane degree. On a Friday morning, $26 admission (with tax) for a family of four. Then $7 per pound of raspberries and blueberries on top of that.
Beautiful farm. Huge variety to pick from: veggies, apples, pumpkins, etc. After you're finished, grab a bite. Perfect food for a crisp fall day. Best fries I've ever eaten and wild mac & cheese!
Alstede Farms Strawberry Harvest Festival’s (1 Alstede Farms Ln) ea Sat & Sun 6/2–6/24/18 11am-5pm 9-7pm: homemade strawberry treats, hay, pony & tractor rides. Just watch out for tons of ppl & kids!
~1hr 15 min drive frm NYC, this farm sells pick-ur-own strawberries ~mid-May, raspberries late Aug & pumpkins in Fall. Arrive early AM or late afternoon 4 cooler temps+prime picking conditions.
No rides & stuff 4 kids=less crowds! See handcrafted outdoor furniture & visit Greenhouse (opens early May) 4 flowers, veggies, herbs, bedding, plants & more!
Not a fan of Ipswich clam w/ a siphon (gross foot/tail). I go 4 smaller Littlenecks or medium-sized Topnecks / Middlenecks but wish MC’s steamed 1’s weren’t gritty. No Manila & Razor Clams found here
Alaskan King Crab @$42/lb (1 jumbo leg) supplier is frm CA & was fresh but meat was brinier than sweet. Blackened Grouper-fresh, tasty & not too oily-good find! Potato salad was bland & starchy today.
Even if U don’t leave room for dessert after this sumptuous seafood meal, get the Key Lime pie to go..it’s the best 1 I’ve had in a while!
May be dirty but I scored some great hard-to-find yummies here: Maxim moon cakes + SCHWEPPES CREAM SODA (not cheap tho')!! Happy upcoming Mid-Autumn fest on 9/24/18 all! :)
