  Finally made it here on the 1st day of fall. Weather was like mid summer.  Gorgeous.  Superb 2 piece band playing ( Steve & ??) were an added enjoyment.  Great fresh  Orange Crush cocktail better than most I've had . Salmon - delicious. I'm so glad I made it to this establishment. Will certainly be back next season. Right off the beautiful beach at IBSP #1 .

  High quality food and fun cocktails. Conveniently located within the premises of Island Beach State Park. Love that this exists for a nice bite and brew after beachin' all day. Great wait staff. A bit overpriced, but the food is mighty tasty.
  
  THE DRUNKIN CLAMS - so garlicky, buttery, and overall amazing in a white wine sauce. Only wish the clams were a little larger. Bread for dipping in the broth is also a highlight. I come here every time for this app.
  
  Also have tried the lump crab cake, chicken fingers (real breading, not the fake, crispy stuff--yummy honey mustard), and the tuna bites appetizer (generous sized ahi chunks, dipping sauce nothing great just a garlic oil).
  
  Check it out!!

  Worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. I was very excited to try this restaurant as my mom goes often. Sat down music was great I was there with my mother son and bestfriend who is from out of town. Ordered BBQ wings, chicken tenders, crab cakes, fried shrimp. Bbq sauce was amazing! But then I bit into a raw chicken wing but it was a big wing and the others were smaller so other ones were cooked fine. Also we saw the RED FOX which is person dressed up as a fox and my son loved it. He got up and danced with him and he got necklace. That was the best part about the restaurant. Then we got our entrees and everything really went sour. So I got fried shrimp with rice pilaf. The waitress brought out my meal with fried and gave my friend with the crab cake the rice and just said that they didn't have any more so that's what they gave me NEVER asked. My friend took a small bite of the rice pilaf and said that she didn't like it but I could have it so we just left it the way it was. I then proceeded to eat my shrimp which were hard as a rock couldnt barley bite them had a hard time. So I then took a huge bit of rice pilaf in which I proceeded to gag and have to spit it out on a napkin and run to the bathroom to wash my mouth out and threw up in the sink. Had to rush back to the table and try to drink water and had to take my mom's coke to get the taste out of my mouth. The rice tasted like windex or bleach. When I took a bite it started burning but the rice was cold. Then I didnt want anything else I asked for a coke since the taste was still in my mouth. My waitress never was concerned and only asked if I wanted to eat something else. I just wanted to leave. I then the waitress brought over the bill. I asked to speak with the manager. This is what was the worst management experience as well.  She came over with a huge attitude. I proceeded to tell her how unhappy I was and what had happened and the fact that she never came over to even ask if I was ok. Also he said that my waitress told her that we were unhappy from the beginning and that was horribly wrong. She said that she couldnt decipher if we were just saying that or we were actually unhappy and had a reason to be. When I began to explain she said she took of my one meal and what else I wanted her to do. I told her that she never came over to make sure I was ok. She said she's busy. Ses a bartender and manager I proceeded to tell her that's unacceptable and I still needed to at least be asked if I was ok or something. No one was concerned at all. She proceeded to take the bill out of my hand and told us that she got the bill and we can go. THAT WASNT THE ISSUE. I tried to explain it to her and she started arguing with us and accusing me of trying to get a free meal. I was trying to get out my frustration and started crying because it was a horrible feeling to be embarrassed about almost throwing up on my plate in the middle of the place.  Long story short. It was the worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant. Managers are supposed to suppress the situation not make their consumers cry trying to explain their horrible experience. As I'm writing this I also do not feel well at all. Worst worst experience.

  Opened only during the summer.  Great place to enjoy the outdoor grill.   Full bar and excellent food choices.  Beach is walking distance from the tiki hut.  Enjoy what's left of the summer at Red Fox's.  Hope yo see you here.
