Bruce Springsteen spotted outside this Jersey shore restaurant

It seemed like everyone and their mother was heading to the Jersey shore this week to see how Hurricane Erin was affecting the ocean waves.

(You can see the waves and flooding that people were seeing below)

As it turns out, a Garden State legend was among those flocking to the beach.

Bruce Springsteen on the Manasquan Inlet

Carlson’s Corner in Manasquan, NJ posted on their Instagram page that they had a familiar face outside their establishment.

The Boss, Bruce Springsteen joins us in the Inlet

The Jersey-born rocker posed for a pic with two staff members in front of the Erin-riddled waves.

Carlson’s Corner sounds like the kind of “working man’s” place Bruce himself would write about.

Many local teens earn their first paychecks here, learning how to cook a burger, scoop the perfect cone, take orders under pressure, and handle a register.

The Manasquan staple has been keeping New Jersey fed since 1937.

We’ve been serving Manasquan for nearly a century, and we’re just getting started. Whether you’re a fisherman heading out at dawn, a surfer chasing waves, a kid scooping cones, or a neighbor stopping by for lunch, we’re here for you.

Carlson’s Corner is located at 423 1st Ave in Manasquan, NJ.

I just narrowly missed running into Springsteen this summer at Jersey Freeze (I legit left minutes before he showed up and I still regret it!), so maybe now I’ll have to stalk Carlson’s Corner to talk to him about both of us growing up in Freehold.

A Jersey girl can dream.
