Shady Rest Restaurant

The food is out of this world. Smaller place with a bar in the front (also one outside) and indoor/outdoor seating for food. The rose garden is gorgeous when in season. Lunch specials are a great price when you want a quick lunch and the regular meal/dinner portion are huge! Worth every cent. Every time I visit, I’m so happy I did. I included pictures of a few meals and times I’ve gone. The staff is always very friendly too!! Very thankful to be introduced to this place and it’ll be a mainstay for me for a very long time.

I've driven past the Shady Rest Restaurant several times, and made plans to eat there last Tuesday. I'm very happy that I did. They're located at 796 Atlantic Avenue in Bayville, and they're a comfy bar/restaurant, serving steaks, ribs, chicken, Italian dishes, pizzas/bar pies, and sandwiches. On Tuesday nights, they offer a special for $5 off a chicken parmigiana entree, and that's what I went for. All entrees come with your choice of regular Italian bread or garlic bread (two of us opted for garlic bread, and we were given a whole loaf), in addition to a house salad or cup of soup. The chicken parm gets your choice of baked potato, French fries, or pasta. In addition to their housemade red sauce, you can swap out for a sauce upgrade to fra diavlo, vodka, marinara, or Bolognese for

The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. The service was excellent, above and beyond. The food was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to go back and try more items on the menu. The price is so reasonable, I couldn’t get over it. Definitely a restaurant I can’t wait to go back to again.

The steak sandwich was amazing, served with this marinara or Italian gravy sauce, peppers and onions were fresh and sautéed. French onion soup was the best I've ever had.

First time at Shady Rest in Bayville won't be our last. I ordered the Steak Alexis, a 8oz But Steak topped with crab meat in a garlicky Cajun butter sauce. Mom had broiled scallops and a baked potato. Steak was prepared to perfection, service was excellent and the atmosphere was comfortable. Are waitress Joy gave us a enjoyable first experience. Can't wait to return.
