5 Brunch Spots You Need To Try In Ocean County

OCEAN COUNTY, NJ — For some reason, Mother's Day and brunch have become inseparable. And we're not complaining - who doesn't love a delicious plate of pancakes or a fresh omelet?

While you've probably made reservations for mom already, in case you haven't (or just want to check something new out) here are five brunch spots you need to try in Ocean County.

C&G's Country Café

This small, family-owned business is one of Ocean County's best. Tucked away in a strip mall in Toms River, this hidden gem is more than just a massive menu. It has some of the friendliest employees you could want. You need to grab one of their many amazing egg dishes on your way to or from the beach.

Sandy's Cozy Corner

Sandy boasts that this small diner is famous for its biscuits and gravy, so if that's your thing, you need to check this spot out. Aside from its yummy comfort food, this place charms with its kitschy decor (including a train running above your head as you eat) and Sandy herself is always there to check in on you.

Turning Point

With multiple locations in Ocean County and beyond, this spot is a true gem. It's always packed on the weekends - a testament to how delicious their food is. They also serve a variety of coffees and teas and their seasonal specials are always winners.

Lucille's Country Cooking

This spot is definitely out of the way, but a must for breakfast lovers. It's received tons of acclaim throughout the years, even from Anthony Bourdain, who once featured it on "Parts Unknown." Lucille serves big portions in a cozy atmosphere that offers a warm, community feeling.

Wally's

A family-owned icon of Surf City for ages, this is a favorite of many LBI vacationers. Not only is the food good, it does good too, as certain items donate a portion of the price to different charities. They also have a wide variety of both gluten free options and vegan options, so there's truly something for everyone.
