Very good Bar/Restaurant
The service is quick and friendly. Food is very good, presented with no fanfare, just a hearty meal. Burgers are cooked right at the bar and are excellent. Specials are usually very tasty and are a little more exotic than the standard menu. If you are the type of person that likes to eat at the bar this is a great place, thats where you'll get the best service. The bar seats about 40 people and overlooks the Manasquan River. The TV's are not good quality or located very well, so if you're there to watch a game pick your seat carefully.
The Bathrooms are the only drawback. They are old and in need of an update. The mens room is very small and very cold in the winter. There is a handicapped bathroom that I see the employees use.
Parking is no problem at night, they have a parking lot, theres on street parking, and the lot of another building accross the street.
It's a very nice atmosphere overlooking the Manasquan River. In the summer its nice to watch the boats go by.
I recommend Harpoon Willys highly. Good location, reasonable prices, good atmosphere. And if you participate in Upromise they return ten percent of the total check.    []

Comfortable Atmosphere
The atmosphere at the bar is very friendly... they make the best burgers around, and I know my burgers! The bathrooms are kind of seedy, though. Great place to sit in a snowstorm with the huge wall of windows overlooking the river.    [16 Apr 2004 15:48:10]

Best decorated and coziest fireplace
Harpoon Willy's is the place to be in winter with the fireplace going and a wall of windows to watch the snow falling on the Manasquan River as you eat a great meal with friendly service. In summer, we watch the boats go by. At Halloween, the staff dresses in full costume -- lots of fun. But, no matter what time of year, the fireplace is decorated to the season.    [29 Dec 2004 21:32:06]
