Sinner's Streakhouse Review:
A must try spot in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ
Sinner's Steakhouse
20 Inlet Dr
Point Pleasant Beach, NJ
🏛️ History & Ownership
Sinner’s Steakhouse opened in early 2022, founded by two brothers and a lifelong friend who previously built a successful telecommunications business together. After years of dining in top restaurants—especially Manhattan steakhouses—they set out to create their own elevated coastal steakhouse at the Jersey Shore.
They chose a striking location: an old church-turned-restaurant featuring cathedral ceilings and stained glass
Their vision was to merge fine dining, premium steaks, and fresh seafood with a relaxed, welcoming Shore vibe.
