"The Grand Tavern is where we like to take a break from the crowded beachside bars and restaurants—especially once you’ve hit your quota for boardwalk fries and funnel cake. It’s in an odd location just west of Bradley Beach and has a notably terrific staff, great cocktails, well-dressed green salads, great baked oysters, and more. You can get things like steak, local scallops, and a particularly good chicken milanese here, but they make the undisputed best burger at the beach. The massive, sturdy, well-seasoned burger is a must, whether you house one yourself or get one for the table to share. It also has an outdoor area that will remind you of someone’s backyard, except you won’t have to worry about someone’s uncle who claims to be a “grill master” overcooking your meat.
