Feeding the shore from Ocean Township
Sit down on Norwood Ave, grab it to go, or set out catering trays for your crowd in the shore towns nearby.

PKS By the Shore sits in the Oakhurst section of Ocean Township, close to the beach towns along this part of the Jersey Shore.
That location is the whole idea. Come in from Deal or Allenhurst for a pastrami sandwich at a wooden table. Swing by on the way home to Eatontown with a bag of takeout. Stop in after a day in Long Branch when nobody in the car wants to cook.
The menu board keeps it simple: hot pastrami, pulled brisket, stadium hot dogs, soft pretzels and chicken fingers, plus wraps, fish sandwiches and sides like onion rings and slaw. It is casual counter service, the kind of place where kids in team shirts share a table and nobody minds the napkins piling up.
For bigger days, catering is how the kitchen goes further. Pretzel roll sliders, wraps and sides for birthdays, office lunches and backyard get-togethers across the towns listed below.

Three ways to get PKS, wherever you are coming from
Same kitchen, same sandwiches. The only question is where you want to eat them.
Catering across the shore
Food for the party without the scramble. A spread of pretzel roll sliders stacked with turkey, roast beef and brisket, with fries and slaw on the side, works for a birthday in West Long Branch, a team lunch in Eatontown or a summer afternoon in the yard in Interlaken.
Send the date, the headcount and what your group likes through our contact page, or call (732) 813-5757. We will work out the order and the pickup details with you ahead of time, so the day itself is easy.
