Cooked the way you'd make it at home — only you don't have to
Tucked into a white building with a bright blue awning on the Main Street of Belmar — a classic Jersey Shore beach town in Monmouth County — Robin's Nest has become the go-to morning spot for locals and visitors alike. The room is warm and unfussy, the brick patio out front catches the morning sun, and there's almost always a friendly face behind the counter.
The food is honest, homestyle cooking made with fresh, local ingredients — fluffy omelettes, eggs your way, those famous home fries, pancakes and Belgian waffles, plus hearty lunch sandwiches, homemade burgers and a standout lineup of Greek gyro specialties. As one guest said, "sometimes the best places are the little local hole-in-the-walls."
It's more than a meal, too: there's live music on Wednesday and Friday evenings and a Wednesday Bingo Night that's become a neighborhood tradition.
