The Pine Creek Inn - Jersey Shore

Cute establishment but really disappointed in our seating arrangement. It was our first time there and I had requested a booth reservation for a designated time for an anniversary celebration. This request was confirmed by them through their social media site.Upon arrival we announced we had a reservation. Instead of a booth, we were seated at a table next to a large group of six. I asked if a booth was available and the wait staff said no. So much for trying to set a reservation.Food was ok. We ordered an appetizer of peppers in oil and warm bread. Outstanding! My main course was the broiled seafood platter. It came with two side choices. The platter was what was expected: two scallops and shrimp (all cooked to perfection), a large piece of white fish (just a bit dry), and a crabcake. All swimming in a large amount of butter (I like butter but it was a bit too much for me). My sides were a baked potato and a bowl of sauteed mushrooms and onions. The ratio of mushroom to onion was extremely thin.My partner ordered the stromboli with sauce. He said it was good but could have been browned a little more on top. It did appear a bit pale.I had one of their specialty drinks, an apple cider margarita. Way too sweet for my taste.Staff were friendly and food came out quickly. But the lack of our reservation request made our experience less than special. All in all, we decided the best part of our visit was the $5.00 peppers in oil appetizer. But not worth the 30 minute drive to go back again.

My wife had the New England clam chowder along with the cheesesteak eggrolls my daughter had the fried pickles and a side salad I had the buffalo chicken cheesesteak with french fries. The food was atmosphere was awesome.

I don't not recommend this place at all, the PCI was better when not under management of Santino's. We've always encountered rudeness and non welcoming attitudes when coming here. Service is also very awful.

Called before the time and talked to Eric (Owner). He was very accommodating with our reservation requirements. Upon arrival we changed our opinion and our party of 15 ate inside instead of outside, again staff was very accommodating for our last minute change of mind. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to our wishes. Eric (Owner) personally stopped at our table to make sure everything was for our pleasure. The food was amazing! Portions were perfect, no one was hungry. Great experience hope to visit again next time in PA.

Delicious food and excellent service—it never fails to impress! The outdoor dining area is lovely during the warmer months, and the location is absolutely stunning!
