Miss old-fashioned Jersey shore breakfast? Look no further than Poppy’s. Run by Tina with Poppy (named by their grandson) in the kitchen. Their lunches are as good as their breakfasts! The prices are unbelievable! And sandwiches come with soup or fries. (Get their soups, incredible and all homemade.) they have an extensive list of daily specials all under $13.95 (including the soup. Huge menu. Their meatballs and gravy are homemade, so is their coleslaw and tartar sauce. Service is great. After 40 yrs in the restaurant biz, they know how to do it right! They have a fun 50’s theme with Elvis memorabilia. Even the bathroom have fun 50’s decor. But number 1, to die for, is their homefroes. Sliced thin with onions (on request), super crispy! The best I’ve ever had!!! Drop by for Jersey food cooked by Italian-Americans! Can’t get better than that! Say “hi” to Tina for me. It closes at 3pm, so come early!!!

It's an experience. You feel like you're back in time. The decor is cool. The waitresses are super pleasant eager to please. The portions of food are big enough for leftovers. Soups, sandwiches or. Breakfast are super delicious, like home made. The prices are very very reasonable for all you get. Treat a friend or someone who needs a new experience in dining for breakfast or lunch. Love this place.

I absolutely love mom and pop diners. I will ALWAYS support places like this. We are here visiting family and they suggested we go here for breakfast because they are popular. I can see why, the sever was phenomenal and very kind and patient with my kids! The food was damn good. As was the service. I hope the place continues to thrive for years to come. I definitely Recommend this place!
