Piled high, built to order, right off Norwood Ave
PKS By the Shore is a casual restaurant in Ocean Township where the menu board does most of the talking: hot pastrami, pulled brisket, stadium hot dogs, soft pretzels and chicken fingers.
Walk in and you will see it. Wood counter, snacks on the rack, kids at the tables and sandwiches coming off the line stacked thick on pretzel rolls and toasted bread. It is the kind of place you stop after the beach, after practice, or when nobody at home feels like cooking.
Whether you sit down, grab a bag on the way home, or need enough food for the whole crowd, it is the same kitchen and the same plates. Questions about the menu or a bigger order? Give us a call at (732) 813-5757 and we will walk you through it.

Dine In
A table when you want one. Order at the counter, find a seat and let the food come to you hot, with nothing getting soggy on the drive home.
It is a relaxed room built for families and friends: crispy fish sandwiches with a side of onion rings, a hot dog for the youngest, a cold drink and a few napkins. No reservations, no dress code, just good food on a wooden table.
