A neighborhood staple with mini golf, arcade and ice cream. The 18 hole mini golf is fun and not too difficult. And the ice cream is delicious— a 5 time ice cream grand champion! Perfect visit for a summer night out with the family!
Getting the fish and chips. Warmly attentive server. Off-season just kicked-in; town's nice and quiet, Barnacle Bill's is empty, the arcade wide open
This mini golf was clean and not rundown like many others in the area. We were a party of 4 2 adults and 2 small children. Unfortunately, they charged us for the 2-yr old who never played a single hole. They didn't even have a golf club her size instead have us a plastic toy club. I thought this was a bit unfair. Especially now when everything is breaking our budget.
Great place to play mini golf, video games at the arcade and have a bite to eat. Golf course has been upgraded and is fun to play. Arcade has many varied games to play. Eating area is clean. We got ice cream which was delicious. Staff was very friendly. A must visit place when in the area.
Surprisingly this was my very first time going to Barnacle Bill's, even though I grew up near the area. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to experience it with my son! We had a blast!! We only had time to play a few arcade games but we still enjoyed every minute of it! Next time we are in the area, we're gonna try out the cafe, ice cream shop, and DEFINITELY the mini golf! What a great time, especially with family!
Awesome place. Classic diner feel to the restaurant. Arcade and mini golf are clean and run efficiently. The manager - Glen - does an excellent job at running everything. He’s an awesome guy who makes sure everyone has a good time. Glen rocks!
A large group of us visited today to play golf and eat lunch . We had fun trying go get a hole in one and Glen’s service in the restaurant was great . The food was yummy and the people working were very attentive and friendly . We will definitely return !
The mini-golf course is well maintained, along with the arcade and 'Barrier Grill' restaurant located on the property. The service is friendly and it is a great destination for family and friends! However, it is a bit pricey.
Mini golf was so fun! The mini golf attendant, Maddie, was soooooo sweet and helpful! Made our group feel super welcome. She’s an absolute gem. Would absolutely come back!
Mini golf is one of those ubiquitous Jersey Shore excursions, right up there with grabbing funnel cake/deep fried Oreos on the boardwalk or just setting up shop at the beach. My noble chum posse and I came by on a Sunday night after dinner nearby for a quick game. We didn't utilize any of the other accompanying services here there was a connected ice cream place and an arcade, so I can't speak to their quality. I'd say the majority of mini golf games I've played occurred before the age of 15 and as a result took ages to complete especially since the fellow participants mostly came from the same age bracket. Now that I'm hanging with the grown-ups, these matches take about half an hour, which is weirdly anticlimactic. This game was no exception. I'd guess we got over here around 8ish, and were done by 8:30 or close to it. It's possible we sped up a little more than we normally would because there was a family of three right behind us, but it wasn't a huge deal. As an aside, that's a pretty common issue at mini golf - maybe the solution is to intentionally hold off on letting new games start until the most recent customers are at the second or third hole? Food for thought. Anyway. There wasn't too much I saw here that really set Barnacle Bill's apart from any other mini golf places I've been to. Kitsch seems kind of important for these establishments, and it was a little light on that, with the obvious exception being the giant statue of presumably Barnacle Bill, who bears an eerie resemblance to Paul Bunyan, minus the blue ox. It seemed to be on the slightly more challenging side, with a heavy emphasis on convoluted geometric angles, streams with real currents sweeping balls away and legitimate water traps - I've often seen fountains and little ponds on these courses, but we had someone actually lose their ball on the fourth hole with no obvious dry way to retrieve it. She stopped playing and kept score instead and to be fair, we didn't expend any energy in trying to get the ball or consulting with the staff, so that's not on them at all. It was a perfectly pleasant excursion, and if you're in the Seaside or Lavallette area, very accessible since it's right on 35S and there's plenty of parking within a block or so. Also, I won the game so it's a little easy for me to look at this one with rose-tinted lenses.
