Groff's is a restaurant you revisit year after year because it's part of a good memory for you. You will always get a good meal at Groff's, is it the best meal no, but it's kinda like going to Mom Mom's. There is no glitz, no glamor, just good food at a reasonable price. Pie isn't my forte but the... More

This is a family restaurant and you see lots of young children with their moms, dad, and grandparents! The food is really good and the prices are great. Have fun and a good meal and then walk on the boardwalk!!! More

When I was 5, I remember standing in a block long line, holding my parents hands,waiting for close to an hour, for what turned out to be the very best family restaurant meal I had ever tasted. I go back every year, now with my grandchildren,sons, their family, and friends, and this family owned business (sold over the past winter... More

I can not say enough about the food at Groff's. It is good, plentiful, and reasonably priced. It is nothing fancy, but everyone in my family seems to enjoy it. I would classify it as good homemade cooking- turkey w/ potato filling, ham, pot roast, etc. Their pies are exceptional- but we are often too stuffed to get a slice.... More

New owners have taken over and not only have they lowered the prices, the food quality is back to where it was years ago. The Glaze pies are excellent, too. They are now open for breakfast from 8AM to noon and plan to stay open to mid-September rather than closing on Labor Day weekend. They also plan to open Mother's... More

First night had house salad with crab and crab soup. Both were excellent. No room for pie. Next night with friends had meat loaf which was OK. Stay away from canned veggies. Their special pickle cole slaw is interesting. We were looking for good food not greasy boardwalk junk. We were not disappointed. Wait staff good. I agree with previous... More

Groff's is suppose to be a place to get "old-fashioned homestyle cooking." Well, I guess if you grew up in a home WITHOUT a spice rack you might like it… it reminded me of the "pasty" kind of food you get in Amish country - not our cup of tea. Also, the ordering process is almost painful… with each dinner... More

Our family has been going to this establishment for a good number of years and it has never disappointed. The food is always excellent and a good number of the meals are made from scratch. The atmosphere along with the food leaves you with a feeling of being at home, and that's exactly what you want when being far away... More

If you are looking for a awful meal, this is the place to go. Who thinks this stuff is home-made? If you consider instant mashed potatoes and can vegetables homemade than this is the place for you. Had apple crumb pie and didn't even finish it. It should be called Gross instead of Groff's. I will never go there again. More
