Harpoon willy’s expands in new jersey, offering new dining experience in town center

ROBBINSVILLE, N.J. — Jersey Shore Restaurant Group (JSRG) has announced the grand opening of a new Harpoon Willy’s location in Robbinsville, set for Monday, January 13, at 2360 State Highway 33 in the Robbinsville Town Center.

The new venue marks the first expansion of the beloved Manasquan-based restaurant, which has been a local institution since its founding in 1792. Known for its waterfront charm, Harpoon Willy’s has built a reputation as a community gathering spot offering quality food, drinks, and hospitality.

The Robbinsville location will feature seating for over 300 guests, including a 70-seat bar area with TVs and a seasonal outdoor patio that can accommodate nearly 100. Additionally, the restaurant will provide private indoor event space for up to 100 guests year-round.

“Our goal is to bring the same sense of community, exceptional dining, and hospitality that Harpoon Willy’s is known for in Manasquan to Robbinsville,” said Greg Manning, Chief Culinary Officer of JSRG. Manning has curated a menu that blends signature favorites with new additions, such as truffled tater tots, edamame dumplings, and entrees like rustic short ribs and honey bacon shrimp.

With its modern yet inviting atmosphere, Harpoon Willy’s aims to establish itself as a go-to destination for locals and visitors in Robbinsville.

Harpoon Willy’s expansion brings its historic charm and renowned menu to the heart of Robbinsville.
