What our guests are saying

★★★★★

Loving what has been happening at Carlson's lately! The live music is so fun, the staff are always friendly (especially to the toddlers!), the atmosphere on the water can't be beat. The kids love to come here to play with the outdoor toys, eat the large serving of chicken fingers (that might be the best around!), and now they even have two tvs up outside for football! LOVE Carlson's!

My favorite lunch spot when I visit Manasquan in the summer! It’s no frills if you want a good burger and fries.
