The original WindMill opened in 1963 in the
West End section of Long Branch. The iconic
windmill-shaped building’s deck overlooks the
ocean, and its blades proudly light up the night.
This location—which the Star-Ledger listed as a
top entry for everyone’s bucket list—is one of six
WindMill Restaurants dotting the Jersey Shore.
Though it is best known for award-winning
hot dogs and to-die-for cheese fries, favorite
son Bruce Springsteen recently mentioned
the WindMill as one of his favorite places for
cheeseburgers!
Google “romantic restaurants” near Sea Girt
and you’ll find Scarborough Fair Restaurant,
winner of OpenTable’s Diners’ Choice Award in
the Romantic category. The unique ambience of
this 1879 former farmhouse offers a warm and
romantic venue for weddings and other special
occasions as well as everyday dining. It’s like no
place you’ve ever been!
In Red Bank, the historic Molly Pitcher Hotel
on the Navesink is famed for its show-stopping
Sunday brunch that runs from autumn through
Father’s Day. Red Bank is also the home of
the JBJ Soul Kitchen, a community restaurant
started by Dorothea and Jon Bon Jovi serving
healthy, delicious, and when possible, organic
meals. At the Soul Kitchen you’ll notice there are
no prices on the menu, and you might be seated
with someone you don’t know. Customers pay
the minimum donation or, if you are unable to
donate, you may do volunteer work in exchange
for your family’s meal. At the JBJ Soul Kitchen, a
place is ready for you if you are hungry or if you
hunger to make a difference in your community.
