About Us

The Riverside Cafe´ has been in our family since 1967 and celebrating our 59th year!  

Same owners, same family, Same amazing food!  

We began as a friendly little snack stand proudly named "Mike's at the Inlet".  Every meal was lovingly prepared by Mike, his wife Carmela Parziale with their three children, Cheryl, Karen, and Michael.  We soon outgrew Mike's and after an extensive remodeling in 1989, the family restaurant took on a new name, Riverside Cafe´.  We expanded our services to include banquet facilities for special events, off premises catering and expanded our outdoor seating.  We wanted to take advantage of the panoramic views of the amazing Manasquan Inlet while our customers enjoyed our homemade meals.  All our food is still strictly prepared by our family and proud to have the next generation serve our customers.
