Amazing food, amazing people, and affordable easily a contender for the best breakfast spot at the jersey shore. I constantly eat their grilled chicken wraps to stay lean and their omelette are second to none. Also worth noting they get pretty creative with their weekly specials. Highly recommend giving them a whirl.

We rented out the place for my sisters surprise 40th birthday party and were very satisfied with our experience. The owner was very nice and friendly, very accommodating, and easy-going. The food is really yummy in general as well as for the BBQ package. I would def use them again for a party.

Nice, relaxing atmosphere, great food, and frilled chicken for Rosie. I am looking forward to summer outdoor seating.

Nice little breakfast spot right in Arnold's Yacht Basin blink and you might miss it. Plenty of parking, love that they have outdoor seating (covered). Had a 15 minute wait on a Sunday morning. Menu has all of the good stuff and some awesome specials. Food took a long time to arrive, as did our check once we were done eating. I know the place is new so I'm hoping this will improve with time. Overall the food was delicious, the lemon poppy pancakes were fantastic!

Excellent little restaurant. Great atmosphere good music and wonderful waitress. I really enjoyed it here. Food was great. Them cinnamon pancakes are to die for. They were delicious and just perfect. Highly recommend getting them and checking this spot out.

Love that the Castaways Cafe and Grill is open at 7am! I can enjoy the sunrise or grey skies at beach and not have to wait until 8a/9a for a cup of coffee! Located across the Arnold's Yacht Basin. Greeted warmly! Soft country music playing! Menus already at the table!! Good breakfast!! Coffee served hot! French toast, eggs and sausage served hot, right off the grill! Yum! Server Mattie was awesome! Thank you for a great start of day!! Parking on

We loved our first trip to Castaways and look forward to going back! I'm afraid to give it too much props or I might have to wait for a table next time--but will still strongly recommend, at our own risk! Great service, great breakfast basics plus basics with a twist!

Our favorite breakfast place to go! Its always such a welcoming & relaxed environment. Service is so fast and food is so good. First time having the cinnamon swirl pancakes...oh...it's divine!!! Also our favorite little secret spot to dock the boat and grab breakfast or lunch!
