Gluten-Free Restaurants near Asbury, NJ

“Always a nice place to stop into when I am in the area. The food is very good and consistent. If you had a meal here three months ago and liked it, the food will be just as good if you go back now. I have been here about six times and have tried something new each time. They have a good range of food options, so it is great that the quality does not fall off in any section of the menu.“

“Let me start off by saying that this restaurant has one of the best burgers I’ve ever had in my life, and they absolutely deserved winning top spot, it has made it incredibly difficult to order anything else off the menu.The prices are fair and you absolutely get what you pay for, the patron that rated it one star must be a regular at Domino’s or Wawa for their pizza. Restaurants don’t normally have free WiFi so they must have been upset that they couldn’t post their food on instagram and had to opt to have conversation with someone that isn’t on their phone. We haven’t had a a single bad thing off this menu and the service is always quick, and kind. 11/10 highly recommend!“

“YUM! Cafe 57 never fails to disappoint. Generous portions, unique ideas… they have it all. Today we grabbed a chopped Italian sub, Greek gyro, grilled cheese and fries, and chocolate pie (or chocolate mousse, something like that). Wow. We were more than pleased with everything and I was especially impressed with the chopped Italian and dessert. Holy moly!!! This is THE spot!“

“Great homemade ice cream, unlike any other! Definitely worth the price. The lady who runs the cafe is very sweet and is also very knowledgeable and careful with gluten free food. Definitely worth the visit. It’s a nice treat after the Columbia trail.“

“The best Italian spot in jersey tbh it’s was the most authentic pizza I had compared to all these other places like franks omg I will never go back to franks it was 100% worth the 30 minute drive from where I live and I will drive here any day over these other spots.“

“GREAT BUTCHER SHOP!Rib steaks were perfect. Much better than restaurants 5⭐️stars for quality.5⭐️stars for the service.Previously I ordered SHORT RIBS to be cut 4 inches thick and 3- 4 inches long. Opened at home and the ribs were 4 inches long, 1 inch or less thick. Quality was excellent but not what I ordered. 3⭐️ stars for that order. Hopefully just a misunderstanding“

“***4 1/2 stars***Sweet Melissa has been getting a ton of buzz over the past couple of years, to the point where I convinced my chum Jeffrey to drive out of his way on the way up for Thanksgiving last year to get one of their chocolate bourbon pecan pies I saw on their online menu. Literally the best pecan pie I've ever had, which is saying something given that a) I've had a ton of pecan pies and b) by the time I get to pie on Thanksgiving I'm usually feeling too disgusting to enjoy it. It's definitely not just me either, since this place is regularly appearing on a lot of top lists in the area and state overall. So when I realized I'd be less than 10 minutes from here at the end of my hike last weekend, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to visit and experience the sit-down service as well.As a born and bred creature from the Kingdom of Hunterdon, I can tell you a lot of positives about the area. Its food scene is pretty abysmal though, and it's rare that I ever go out of my way to endorse one of its restaurants. As an example, there's a sushi place close to my hometown that is incredibly mediocre and has sky-high reviews because the residents literally have never been to another sushi place. This place actually matches the hype though.I stopped by around mid-afternoon, about an hour before the kitchen closed. (I was looking nervously at my watch during the tail-end of my hike, knowing that time was not my friend for this one). It's very easy to find/spot, just off Route 31 S about two minutes past North Hunterdon High School. It's located in a newer strip mall with tons of parking available. Once I walked in, a waitress showed up within 30 seconds or so to direct me to a table in the room off to the right, away from the bakery area (which was probably a blessing in disguise).I can't find my main entree on the online menu, but it was an incredible breakfast sandwich, featuring a croissant, garlic aioli, eggs, avocado, gruyere cheese and thick cut bacon. Absolutely one of the best and certainly classiest breakfast sandwiches I've ever had, and it was enormous. The garlic aioli is a gamechanger for this, adding a delicious savory zest to the proceedings. As soon as I saw it, I knew it probably wasn't the best idea to also order the bread with raspberry compote - that was perfectly fine but I wasn't able to finish it/do it justice. I think they could have put a LITTLE more avocado on this (I had to get creative to ensure it was in more bites), but that's a dictionary definition nitpick. The lavender latte was solid as well.The only blemish was a bit of a service issue. My waiter was VERY nice and stopped by frequently. However, he didn't bring over a pad to take down my order, which wouldn't have been an issue except he had to come back sheepishly to confirm what entree I wanted (not a huge deal, but verification that he should be writing the information down to avoid inefficiencies/potential mistakes). The bigger problem though was that I actually ordered a salted caramel tart, not the peanut butter one. I was honestly in an ambivalent mood about them (they're similar taste profiles AND look close to identical in the display counter), which is why I didn't give pushback on it, but it once again went back to the fact that basic hospitality 101 is getting the orders right. That goes to the core fundamentals of a restaurant, so it's something I'd emphasize in training going forward, especially since the other service aspects (demeanor, turnaround time, etc.) were great.Especially given that the food I've had here on various occasions has been off-the-charts good, this is still one of the best places in the county I've been to. They're tantalizing close to a perfect experience if they just tighten the reins a little (yes, I decided to use a horse reference as a Hunterdon homage. You're welcome).“
