Friendly, often speedy service and generous portions keep locals returning, and parking is plentiful. A few dishes can be uneven and there’s a small credit-card surcharge, but overall it’s a casual, family- and group-friendly spot with strong sushi and a fun atmosphere.

We've eaten here several times over the past year, and we genuinely love the food. Today, the chicken and waffles special was outstanding—the chicken was incredibly juicy, and the syrup was simply delightful. The French dip, served on garlic bread, adds a nice twist that sets it apart from other French dips in the area. However, I always recommend trying the chicken fajita wrap; I could put that fajita sauce on everything! The only downside is the credit card surcharge. They aren't the only ones to do this, but I feel it's worth mentioning each time: there's an extra 2.5% added to your bill.
We visit Caffreys every couple of months, and we stopped by on a Monday evening. The atmosphere was fantastic, and there were plenty of TVs to enjoy. Our group of four had a wonderful time. Two of us ordered the chicken parmesan over pasta and absolutely loved the sauce. The portion sizes were generous, leaving us with plenty to take home, so they rated it a 4.5 out of 5. My husband and I shared three specialty sushi rolls and one regular roll, alongside seaweed salad and edamame. The sushi appetizers rival those of dedicated sushi restaurants. Each roll was delicious, especially our favorites: the Kevin Roll and Caffrey Roll. Anything that includes their spicy tuna is a must-try; they truly have one of the best spicy tuna blends around.
This vibrant bar and restaurant is a true local staple! After a fire forced its closure, they rebuilt it even larger and better than before. They have a lovely outdoor bar area with seating, in addition to the main restaurant and bar indoors. Our waitress was wonderful and incredibly kind! I have a particular affection for Barbara, the bartender, who is also a neighbor. However, I’m a little confused about why a plant-based patty melt is priced $4 higher than a regular beef burger. The plant-based patty melt was delicious, and my friend thoroughly enjoyed her French dip. I wouldn't recommend the blooming onion, as it seemed over-fried and somewhat tough, although the dipping sauce was quite good. Caffrey's also has a sushi bar, and the sushi there is outstanding!
Been here a few times, and finally got around to trying the sushi. Wow. So good, so fresh, I'll probably never get anything else there again.
What can you possibly say about this place? It's got everything just about literally everything you can think of on its menu. You have a beautiful restaurant to go. Sit and eat a nice meal in pretty much anything you order is cooked to perfection. The servers are always friendly now since adding the backyard section, it's just lifted them up a little extra notch. The French onion in the backyard, for some reason is better than inside the restaurant we cannot get enough of it when we go to the backyard for dinner we don't drink, but we love the menu they have lots of seafood for my husband and son and many options for myself. It's a much smaller menu than the main restaurant because it's more bar geared. We don't drink, but we go for the food for sure back there! They are definitely one of the Goats here in forked River!
