Some of them are PITA's. They complained about the Reef and Barrel, which is wedged between the train tracks and Route 71.
They complain about everything although I understand some complaints were valid.
They were doing it in 1975. Nothing new.

I can hear the residents cheering from here.
They are lame :Unhappy:
Not completely. Just because you feel like you have the right to raise hell in their neighborhood doesn't mean they have to accept it.
They played there last summer, and I'm pretty sure they were set to play there this year,not sure now though.I think that’s the one my Wife likes too. Or maybe it’s the one her mom likes. I forget. LOL
Also good to know, although not for this summer, is the Jersey Shore Basketball League is back at St. Rose High School which is right next door.
Is that the old Alex Webster's place?Some of them are PITA's. They complained about the Reef and Barrel, which is wedged between the train tracks and Route 71.

I was very close to making an offer on a house a block away from the Parker House. Ocean block on The Terrace. My wife said “I’m just worried about the Parker House.” The realtor was typing up the offer.
A close relative who is well-connected in the area made some calls. True story. She spoke to someone she knew in Sea Girt who said “I’m related to the people who own the Parker House. If you want people peeing on your lawn every Friday night, that’s a great house.”
So, great place but I wouldn’t want it within earshot.
Why wouldn't Parker House just turn into an outdoor restaurant for this year? They already had a lot of seating on the patio, and could have put a bunch of tables where the line snakes in the back. Close by 8PM or whatever insane requirement the town requires. I'd think a decent restaurant within walking distance of that part of town would be welcomed, no?
Ah, so you did research before purchasing real estate?
Apparently that option was not available to the other homeowners in the surrounding radius for some reason...
And I just said to my wife “this would be a great day to have lunch at the Parker House.” It’s been a “go to” for an early Sunday lunch. Depressing.
Really? Never, ever heard that before.The food there is excellent. I love Squan but I don't think we have a place of that caliber. Blend is OK, Committed Pig I really like but it's not Parker.

Honest.
Everyone knows about Porta but even the other ones you mentioned. Yes, they have food. LOLReally? The grill on the porch is awesome and the sit down restaurant is great too. Lobster mac and cheese is on point. The steak is good as well.
One thing most people would never expect...the food at Djais is also a pleasant surprise. The cheesesteak is great. Not Parker level of course but for a quick bite off the beach it's great.
Most people also know the pizza at Porta is excellent- especially the one with Calabrian chiles. I think most people have probably eaten at Leggett's and Tiki, both are pretty good. Not amazing, but good.

This KnightShift. Lived in spring lake heights for a few years 2007-2010, always was a north pavillion guy. I started dating a girl who like the southend. Went swimming at the south end once, got strep throat, got rid of the girl and stuck to the north end. Never had any problems after that. True story!That's the problem. Perhaps for some locals, they don't care, but I would never swim at the south end beach of Spring Lake. I don't take any sheet!
Committed Pig? It might be just me but I'm morally opposed to paying $15 and more for a freekin hamburger.
Leggetts food is diner quality at best for me. I enjoy going there, and will eat there for sure, but have never had better than a decent meal there. Their pizza is OK. Patio Bar is one place that has always had terrible food. However, I did go to Water Street in Toms River this past weekend (same owner), and we all were pleasantly surprised by the food there.
Agreed, Tiki's food is pretty good, overpriced but not moreso than you would expect for a boardwalk place.

Or have plans. I go every year to Wildwood Crest. My concern is my elderly mother who always goes with us. I know I can leave her home and we wouldn't do anything until later in the season but this is tough.
Are you guys skipping shore trips this year because of the virus? Anyway thanks the information and best wishes.
#benniesBelmar sounds like it is having problems--snippet from today's Coast Star:
BELMAR —
Council PresidentTom Brennan painted a bleak pic- ture of the beachfront Tuesday evening to residents and mem-
bers of the council, saying that some people “were abrasive.”
Mr. Brennan, who is a mem- ber of the borough’s Friendship Force that advises beachgoers on
social distancing, said during the borough council meeting on July
21 that he has observed behavior this weekend that worried him.
While every year there are certain beachgoers who act like “jerks,” this year is “10 times
worse,” the council president said.
“Our staff is being yelled at, they are being bullied, they are being threatened,” he
said. “We had bathroom attendants spat on because they asked people to wear masks as it is
posted on the side of the bathroom. Instead of complying, these people spat on
our attendants.”
“People were abusive. They
bum-rushed an 80-year-old gate
attendant knowing that person
would not be able to stop them,
and we had to get the police in to
get them o the beach,” Mr. Brennan
said. “This is unacceptable,
we need to do something about
it.”
---------------
In two weeks, there have
been 236 summonses issued for borough
code violations such as noise, alcohol in
public, alcohol on the beach and smoking.
To date, summonses are up 90 percent
from last year. Currently, the borough
is 100 summonses away from last year’s
pre-September total.

OC and southern shore towns = better clienteleI hear people in town complaining about the same thing here in OC but honestly I don't see it. If anything people seem more friendly to each other. I think a lot of it is just some old locals who love to complain every summer about the crowds and this year they are blaming it on COVID for people acting lke idiots.
