The Place: John G’s, Plaza del Mar, 264 S. Ocean Blvd., Manalapan; 585-9860 or www.johngs.com.
The Price: $6.85 (cash only)
The Skinny: I love John G’s. The gazpacho is some of the best anywhere, served on ice with elaborate pepper garnishes. The Greek salads are good, too. And I know folks who go there when they have a yen for fried fish.
