About McLoone's Pier House
Choose McLoone's Pier House for an easy Long Branch waterfront meal when setting and group-friendliness matter more than chef-driven dining.

The verified schedule runs from 11 AM to 10 PM Monday through Thursday, 11 AM to 11 PM Friday and Saturday, 10 AM to 10 PM Sunday.

Good for a direct Long Branch plan, less defined by verified specifics
The clearest verified details are the hours and smart-casual dress code. This makes McLoone's Pier House easier to place in an itinerary than a venue with limited service windows, especially on Friday and Saturday when it is listed until 11 PM. There are no verified details here for awards, chef, cuisine, pricing, seating format, or a tasting-menu-style experience.
Because the verified record does not include takeout, delivery, bar seating, menu format, or specific dishes, plan around the confirmed basics rather than unverified service details. If the visit depends on a particular accommodation, dish, or seating setup, check directly with the restaurant before committing.
