Best Family Style Restaurants in Manasquan

We had reservations and still had to wait for a table, which had been empty all along. The service was slow,.at a few points we had to call our server over. It took about 20 minutes after our drinks came for her to come for our dinner order. The food was ok, but nothing that makes you want to hurry back. It was a school fundraiser night so many children and loud music in the background.

Jamie was an excellent server! Even offered his sunglasses as we were sitting outside. His recommendations were spot on! Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

We enjoyed Brandl’s Restaurant week menu, which had a variety of choices not usually found on their regular menu. For starters, we had the tuna poke and crab cake. The poke was new and fabulous. The pickled vegetables and a hint of heat from the sriracha was delicious. I hope Brandl’s brings this back. For entrees, my husband and I both had the flounder. Two nice pieces of flounder were filled with a wonderful cream filling of spinach and feta over garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert, we ended with apple strudel with can ice cream and pumpkin cheesecake served with one coffee and a cappuccino. A few items on the special menu included pork tenderloin Wellington, pumpkin spiced potstickers to name a few. Overall, the food was outstanding with wonderful service.

Great food and great service. Went early so it wasn’t crowded, portions were a little small, but overall it was great and I would definitely go back
