The Mainland Kitchen Pub

This is my go to restaurant when staying at the Holiday Inn. The food is top-notch (Get the crab cakes! and always consistent and regardless of what I ordered, it never disappointed. The staff are cheerful, pleasant and helpful. And in the cooler months, fire pits abound. It has something for everyone and even boasts a video arcade on premises for the kiddies. A nice local eatery that you will thoroughly enjoy. Handicap accessible.

Nice place. The food is always pretty good with decent prices. The service was fantastic. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff went above and beyond to help out. Family friendly. Menu changes fairly often and features some pretty good specials. In addition there is an arcade and some other activities for kids. Great experience!

First let me say that before the pandemic I used to love going to the breakfast buffet every other Sunday with great food, fresh omelets, great coffee with the flavored creamer that I love and I used to enjoy the peace and quiet on a nice Sunday breakfast. Well I recently went back a week ago. Not only were they not cooking fresh omelets but also got rid of the flavored creamers and the food was not great. On top of that the prices jumped from $12.95 to now $23.95..for what??? Not going back anytime soon..

Located inside a Holiday Inn off the highway in Manahawkin, I really was not expecting much. But wow, what a nice surprise. Atmosphere was great although the place was a little loud. Our waitress, Mary, was super nice and kept checking on us. The hot chicken sandwich, served on waffles, was more sweet than hot, but very good, and the burger my dining partner had looked amazing. The small plate shrimp with spicy sauce was another winner, lots of crunchy shrimp with a cute presentation, overflowing from a Chinese take-out box. Some the the entrees are definitely a bit too pricey, but the sandwiches and most of the small plates were reasonable for the portion size. Would definitely go back

Such a fun atmosphere! Friendly staff, great food, and the fire pits were a warm and welcoming addition to our evening!! Can’t wait to go back!
