In the summer months, I always look to have a nice refreshing lemonade, and Pucker's is definitely the place to get it while visiting Asbury Park. Just one sip, and you know you are getting fresh squeezed lemonade that has the right amount of sweet to tart ratio. The place is small and hardly noticeable on the boardwalk unless you are using the restrooms that are directly behind them. They also serve fries (several sizes) and fried oreos, but I haven't had the chance to try them yet as I always go for the lemonade. The staff is friendly and quick with the orders, so no complaints about the service. I noticed some reviews stated that the price of the lemonade is a tad high at $6 each or $7 if you get a flavored lemonade, but I think it is pretty reasonable. I definitely recommend and most certainly stop by again the next time I am in the area.
The lemonade is great and I am a fine connoisseur of fresh squeezed lemonade. These guys do it right. Fresh lemon plus lemon press plus icewater plus ice plus sugar equals lemonade. They get it.
Also, I had an experience yesterday that was kinda good. I'm an insulin dependent diabetic and I was experiencing an episode of hypoglycemia and needed something quick. When I casually mentioned it to the young kid behind the counter he mentioned it to the guy making the fries and they had me fresh hot fries in under a minute.
The kid has to be on one of the local first aid squads or something 'cos he understood what my problem was and how to fix it--he served me first--but he also didn't freak out. He just got me what I needed efficiently and without dawdling. It was appreciated.
(I say this because at the Burger King over in West Grove the I had the same experience and the response was different--it took them half and hour, literally to get me something from the dollar menu. I had to leave and head to seven eleven to get food. I kept trying to hurry them along and they didn't care. Quality people, all about getting and keeping quality people for your staff.)
(Really a 4 and 1/2)
From the second the perfectly fried, perfectly salted, potato stick makes contact with my tastebuds, until the moment I swallow it, all my feelings of pleasure quickly begin to activate, giving my life meaning. Although the prices are extremely high, the taste is in fact delectable. As I speak of my past experiences with this amazing delicacy, my tastebuds begin to salivate.
