“ Honestly this place earned the fifth star simply for being open past 8p and not having a ridiculously long line. I got a small salted caramel pretzel cone. Don’t be fooled. The size called small is HUGE. I could have very easily shared it with another person and not felt like I was sharing. I went with two others and we all got something similar and our total came out to about fifteen bucks. And the ice cream itself was pretty delicious also ”
“ My first time at Castle Harbor, it offers you a classic NJ diner food experience. The crowd consisted of patrons that have been customers for decades to a new generation of grandfather's bringing their grandchildren in. The menu is large, offering breakfast platters, breakfast sandwiches, omlettes, lunch sandwiches, burgers, salads, soups, and so much more. Something they seem to be known for as well are their ice cream and desserts. That'll be something I'm going to make sure to try in the spring/summer time! To warm up the bones and fill my big ol' belly, I went with some cream chipped beef over rye toast with home fries. It's just a simple, yet well executed delicious breakfast meal that hit the spot just right. They close for a Christmas break on 12/22 and don't reopen until February of 2025. I recommend paying a visit in the next few days or when they reopen in 02/25. ”
“ Great food and the employees are very friendly . New update. Just recently went there again enjoyed every minute of it again and especially eating grilled cheese the fries again it was so good . Can't wait to get icd cream ”
“ Good little ice cream and food spot. The service was good, just seemed like they were understaffed. That being said, if you're in a rush to go out and get ice cream, maybe you need to slow down a bit ”
“ Went for lunch with my grandson and had a wonderful meal. My server Lisa was wonderful and very friendly. Food is reasonably priced and very comfortable atmosphere. Would definitely take a friend or family member there. Especially for the ice cream ”
“ I worked here throughout high school and into my adult years, and this place is just as great as a customer as it was as an employee. My son still works here. A very welcoming family friendly place where everybody knows your name and greets you with a smile. The food is always prepared on site and served fresh, and the ice cream selections are the best around. Best gyros ever! ”
“ I took my son & niece there today. I've always passed it and have been wanting to go there for so long. I'm glad we had the chance to stop in today. It was such a friendly atmosphere. Alyssa gave great customer service and was so friendly. She assisted in taking our order. She was knowledgeable and helped us in ordering our desserts. We got gelati's and my niece got strawberry soft serve in a cone. They were so delicious that we couldn't even finish them, so they gave us to- go lids. Will definitely be back to try the diner and drive in style food they serve!!! ”
“ Oldschool establishment that feels like a dying breed these days. Gently retro, cute garden out back they’ll bring your food out to if you wish. Nothing fancy, but definitely satisfying and served with a smile by the friendly staff. Very ... ”
