    Love the location of the restaurantOur waitress was McKenzie, she was very attentive and courtesy. She provided great service. The food is always the best, however, the asparagus was a little soggy and very small this time. We have been to Rooney’s several times and never seem to get a table near the windows where the boardwalk is. Not sure why is it difficult to get a table there. I still highly recommend Rooney.

    Sat at the bar. Very relaxing atmosphere. Had Clam Chowder , best ever , along with the Goat Cheese appetizer. Just enough and very satisfying. The Blueberry Smash was delicious - the bartender made it perfectly. Always a good meal at Rooney’s. Never disappointed.

    Another great meal at Rooney's. Beautifully decorated for the holidays, great food and service. Rooney's has great food, particularly the seafood, and a great location right on the boardwalk in Long Branch. Have no hesitation recommending Rooney's for a special occasion or just good food.

    Great Bloody Mary’s as usual. Had the fried fish sandwich and thought it was a little greasy. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their food.
