"Barnacle Bill the Sailor" is a song that you definitely know, though you may not know that you know it. It's the ear-splitting jingle that gets blasted from the Mister Softee trucks all summer long. The lyrics to this maddeningly catchy tune are unprintably bawdy: "To hell with the dance/ down with your pants," is the first stanza, and it just goes downhill from there. This should clue you into the fact that Barnacle Bill's, a converted boathouse on the Navesink River, is a great deal of fun, with an easy, boisterous spirit. Walk in on a Saturday afternoon and it's already buzzing with families, sporty young people, dissipated nautical types and bawdy old floozies. The place has been around since 1974, its walls are covered with the leftover nautical instruments, and its wide windows have a lovely view of the river. They won't say just what they do to the burgers to make them so delicious, but it's something uncanny.

    These 10 oz burgers are always cooked to perfection. They come with a few different toppings and the onion rings are also superb.

    This is truely the best burger ive ever had , it is worth the trip if your not a local. It is in rumson on the water, a blue collar bar & grill in a million dollar neighborhood. A relaxed fun atmosphere , watching the boats go by while sitting at a table or the bar enjoying your favorite beer and that juicy thick burger and the best part is while you wait for that A+ burger you get to enjoy a bowl of peanuts and throw the shells on the floor , how cool !
