WARETOWN, N.J. (PRWEB) March 12, 2018 -- Upon walking into the Waretown, New Jersey restaurant, Breaker’s Kitchen and Tap, employees are hard at work preparing for the day. The bartender is squeezing fresh lime juice to top off their specialty drinks, as the wait staff is tidying up each table with silverware and menus. Customers begin to arrive shortly after the doors open at 11:30 am for the lunchtime rush, as owners Kelly Ford and Katie Davis immediately greet each guest. This is what to expect when visiting this new eatery, celebrating their “Grand Opening” early last month.

The location was home to the former restaurant and bar Longshots, which occupied the space until 2012. The building had remained idle until sister’s Ford and Davis made an offer in January 2017. “The property was vacant for a while and the price kept going down until finally it hit our mark,” said Ford. “We took it as a sign to purchase and move forward with our dream of running a restaurant.” The location holds a special place in the girls’ hearts as it also commemorates the final time they shared a beer with their father, who unexpectedly passed away one week after the three dined at Longshots together. Pictures of the family are currently displayed on the wall at the exact spot where the photos were taken that day.

With the help of Richard Santore, Bielat Santore & Company, Allenhurst, New Jersey, the broker for the sale, the sisters became proud owners of the Route 9 location on October 31, 2017. They have been restoring it ever since. “The building was in shambles after being closed for so long,” said Ford. “Right away, the night we closed we got to work.” Renovations included installing new windows, ceiling tiles, flooring; refinishing chairs and bar stools, steam cleaning the kitchen and painting the entire facility both inside and out, “About ninety percent is finished,” said Ford. “We just need to add more things on the walls and a few other little things here and there.”

With the help of their chef, Matt Kenney, the team was ready to introduce Breaker’s Kitchen & Tap to the community, just in time for the scheduled February 9th Grand Opening. “We spent a couple of days fine tuning after a rough soft opening on February 6th,” said Ford. “It was supposed to be invitation only, but people started flooding in. We’ve been packed ever since!” The sisters are no strangers to the hustle and bustle of the restaurant industry as they both began their careers as managers of Macaroni Grill in Dallas, Texas. “We eventually went our separate ways - myself pursuing a career in Education and Katie in Social Work – we never forgot that training,” said Ford.

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Kenney worked at various restaurants before landing the Head Chef position at Breaker’s Kitchen & Tap. “We were excited when Matt came on board because he can incorporate some Denver flavors into our dishes,” said Ford. “He added a lot of recipes to the menu.” Some of Kenney’s favorite creations are the 14 ounce Grilled Prime Bone-In Pork Chop topped off with a salt-pepper crust and dried cherry glaze and the Signature Crab Cakes with sautéed diced onions, celery, bell pepper and special seasoning.

Since the news broke that the quiet shore town was getting a new restaurant, the neighborhood has been more than welcoming. “Waretown has been very supportive and asked us if we would like to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony,” said Ford. “People are just so excited about a new place down here.” Their fresh ingredients, delicious food options and craft beer selection are not the only things that the sister’s believe will make them stand out from their competitors in the area. The girls also made it a priority to provide a positive dining experience for all of patrons. “We strive to have the highest customer service and best hospitality around,” said Ford. “We don’t want any customer walking out of the restaurant with a bad experience. We will always take care of a guest if they had an unsatisfactory experience.”

It is always all hands on deck for the duo who spend much of their time at the restaurant getting to know each customer. “One of us is here at all times to touch the tables and introduce ourselves,” said Ford. Their hard work has not gone unnoticed as the Breaker’s Kitchen & Tap Facebook page has nearly 2,000 followers and 250 reviews. “If you look at our reviews on Facebook, most are praising our customer service, which is a big focus of ours,” said Ford. The girls credit the positive feedback to a system they implemented using teal and white napkins to help the employees identify the new visitors. “We distribute white napkins to our first time visitors, and teal napkins to our regulars,” said Ford. “We want to see more white napkins, that’s the goal because that means we have more new customers.” The restaurant will also be bringing in a lot of familiar faces as guests are getting more comfortable at the casual eatery. “It’s great to hear people say ‘we love the vibe. We needed a place like this!’” said Ford.

Breakers Kitchen & Tap is open Monday through Sunday from 11:30 am to 12:00 am. Guests are invited to enjoy live entertainment every weekend starting at 7:00 pm and Trivia every Tuesday at 7:00 pm. Takeout is also available. For more information, visit their website at https://www.breakerskitchenandtap.com/ or call 609.622.2963.
