Seaside Boardwalk is a beachfront destination with rides, shops, and restaurants. The rides are decently priced with a wristband and available daily. The town is being cleaned up with new paving, drain pipes, and boards. However, the clothing and food are very expensive. The stores often have the same items, and haggling is recommended. The beaches can be extremely packed; the cheaper access is always full, while the Seaside Heights Boardwalk Beach or access near Lincoln Avenue are better bets. Dining experiences vary. Servers are frequently described as excellent, fantastic, attentive, and friendly, providing exceptional service that enhances the evening. However, food quality is inconsistent. Some found appetizers just ok, with entrees served unevenly hot and cold or with chewy seafood. Presentation and portion size could be better. Highlights include a prime rib station where meat is carved to order and entertainment like a DJ and games. Overall, many have a great meal and a great time thanks to the outstanding staff.
