Since 1937 — A Shore Landmark
Carlsons Corner has proudly served the Manasquan community since 1937. For generations, we’ve been a gathering place for locals and visitors alike — a quick stop for burgers and ice cream that turns into a lifelong tradition. Being part of this town isn’t just business; it’s a privilege we carry every day.
Honoring The Past, Serving The Present
From vintage hot dog stands to black-and-white photos of busy summer days, our roots run deep. Today, we’re bringing back a nod to history with the return of the bait shop spirit — offering live bait, ice, and essentials for local anglers who know the tides better than the roads. Supporting fishermen is part of who we are.
We’re also embracing surf culture with rentals, wax, and beach gear to keep the waves calling.
A Place To Start And Grow
For decades, Carlson's Corner has been where many local teens earn their first paycheck. It’s where burgers are flipped, cones are scooped, and lessons are learned in teamwork, responsibility, and resilience. Fast-paced and full of life, it’s a place that builds confidence and community.
Nearly a century in, we’re still growing — and still proud to serve Manasquan every single day.
