    The setting at McLoone's Pier House is wonderful to sit looking at the ocean and on a Sunday watching people on the beach. Although there were many choices on the brunch buffet, we thought the food was fair to good. I was especially disappointed in the 'home fries" which seemed more like 'tater tots.' My husband was thrilled with the oyster option and I love an omelet station. Parking is also difficult, especially on a summer weekend. I am on a quest to find my favorite brunch spot. Unfortunately, for me, this was not it.

    First time at the Buffet Brunch and was very impressed. Hard to find buffets any more but when I came across this one I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised! Will definitely book again!

    The food was great as Always and our waitress was a gem. She went out of her way to be wonderful and we genuinely appreciated that. *We had a much nicer experience this week and did not get yelled at for sitting in the booth which we definitely appreciated. The food was very good, the drinks were great and the server was a sweet older lady who was very nice.

    OpenTable gave me options to book a table until 11:30. I booked one at 11:00. I got there at 10:55 and the person sitting me said “just so you know, the kitchen closes at 11:00”. She sat us down and took our food order quickly, and then we looked at the wine list. It felt a little rushed but the service and the food were great. The other thing was they had a two person (I think?) band. They were too loud for this place and after they ended and were breaking down their gear, the guy (I think in falsetto) kept singing the whole time we were eating, which was only 20 minutes at that time, but it was a cringeworthy 20. Advice to OpenTable: get the timings right. advice to McLoones: just have a nice piano player without vocals and turn it down!!!

    Mc Loone’s happens to be one of my favorite places to go to always a guaranteed good meal and fantastic service. Their ambience is amazing. Never disappointed going there. Can’t wait to go back again.

    Just "meh" is how the dining experience, food and service is at this location. Being right on the boardwalk with ocean views from the dining room is the most positive thing I can say. Service is was slow (was 6pm on a Tuesday night, maybe 6-8 tables being served), took over 15 minutes to be acknowledged by our server, appetizers were small-sized portions, and the entrees were overcooked and tasted bland (steak and crab cakes). If you want more of a bar experience, complete with the noise, then you'll probably like this place. The unfortunate part was this visit was to celebrate a special event, but the experience was anything but. This is one local who crosses McLoone's Pier House off the list.
