I love it here. It's like a mini cheers without the drinks.... everyone knows ya name. I like that vibe in today's world. I like my eggs over medium, dippy persay, with the white part cooked all the way. This is the only place I feel that can do this. Excellent chicken noodle soup. Chili is great, and their buffalo wings were doable.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch on our way back up north following a few days down the shore. Everything was fantastic - the food was delicious and very high quality. The service was wonderful and attentive. I highly recommend the cherry soda!

Happy to say this is not a cookie cutter restaurant. This has the feel of a hometown restaurant and gathering place. It's a pure piece of Americana. Although the day cords is not really reflect the country, feel you get when you enter because it's all dedicated to the 1950s icons. It's a wonderful, wonderful place to have breakfast. The staff was unbelievable and it has a real family feel. When you go. Don't forget to bring Grandma. She would love it. 😁

Miss old-fashioned Jersey shore breakfast? Look no further than Poppy’s. Run by Tina with Poppy (named by their grandson) in the kitchen. Their lunches are as good as their breakfasts! The prices are unbelievable! And sandwiches come with soup or fries. (Get their soups, incredible and all homemade.) they have an extensive list of daily specials all under $13.95 (including the soup. Huge menu. Their meatballs and gravy are homemade, so is their coleslaw and tartar sauce. Service is great. After 40 yrs in the restaurant biz, they know how to do it right! They have a fun 50’s theme with Elvis memorabilia. Even the bathroom have fun 50’s decor. But number 1, to die for, is their homefroes. Sliced thin with onions (on request), super crispy! The best I’ve ever had!!! Drop by for Jersey food cooked by Italian-Americans! Can’t get better than that! Say “hi” to Tina for me. It closes at 3pm, so come early!!!

I absolutely love mom and pop diners. I will ALWAYS support places like this. We are here visiting family and they suggested we go here for breakfast because they are popular. I can see why, the sever was phenomenal and very kind and patient with my kids! The food was damn good. As was the service. I hope the place continues to thrive for years to come. I definitely Recommend this place!
