“My family and I have had the great pleasure of having dinner at 618 in Freehold NJ on several occasions. It has quickly become our favorite restaurant! Everything on their menu is wonderful and we’ve tried so many appetizers, main courses and cocktails at this point. It’s rare to find a cool, comfortable restaurant with so many great cocktails and incredible choices across all menu selections. And, if that is not enough, their staff is truly a dream team. The owners, manager, hostesses and servers ALL go way out of their way to make everyone feel like guests having a special dining experience in their happy home. Dining at 618 is a truly delightful experience—it’s quite simply food and service heaven! The owners and staff ALL really care and it shows. Their kindness and care to our 96 year old dad and us every time we dine there is so beautiful. It lights him and us up so much. To the owners, manager, hostesses and servers, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Dear Ava, Danielle, Chuck, Matt , Chris, Jacob, Leigh, and Christine, and all the staff of 618, each and every one of you are treasures. Thank you for making our dining experiences so special and uplifting.“

“First time I came here they had the jazz guy singing l really liked the vibes. I ordered the Atlantic Salmon and sangria, sangria wasn’t the best I’ve had but it was ok. Food took about 45 mins to come out and my veggies were a bit burnt was a little disappointed but my salmon was delish and so was the cookie sundae!
Came back a second time with my hubby ordered the salmon again and it was perfect. My husband ordered the chicken parm with vodka sauce and it was amazing! The sweet potatoes fries are delish. The waiter we had twice was very attentive and super great. Would definitely come back. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“This was my first ever time at a Stewart’s Restaurant, and I can undoubtedly say that I was NOT disappointed. There are so many food items to choose from and they even offer a vegan menu. At this location specifically, the staff was very welcoming and were quick to check in on us when we needed something. I loved the root beer float and the chili hot dog, and I would definitely come here again soon.“

“Great food and reasonable price!!!“

“We’ve stayed here annually for 16 years. It’s a pass through for us. One night but friendly and helpful staff good food and we seen the same FD staff for the past 12 years. Even during Covid we stayed, they cared even though the kitchen was closed they advised us where to get take out. It is a comfortable, friendly place to stay.“

“Being a meat cutter by trade in the Air Force, having a hard time cutting a $45 med/rare filet is hard to swallow. The fact it was served already cut, apparently was the first clue to be prepared, this may take a minute. Flavor was better, but still needed to ask for s&p. Whipped potatoes amazing! French Onion soup as well. Rib appetizer out of this world! Don't buy the chicken nuggets although the presentation basket was a nostalgic touch. Macncheese side was incredible! Recommend the Wood-double Bourbon.“

“We stayed here so we could go to Six Flags. Really nice people and great customer service ! The front desk was very accommodating and helpful and the restaurant/ bar personnel were extremely sweet! Not many options to eat but what we had was actually fresh and surprisingly good for a small hotel. Free parking and laundry room were a big plus. Very quiet neighborhood and some weddings were happening while we stayed but I basically heard no noise from guests or was bothered by loud music. Really recommend!“

“Absolutely the best burger period!! Great fries and drinks! MILKSHAKES Yum!!“

“I went in early for breakfast and was greeted by a smiling friendly server who made a great recommendation when I was choosing my meal. I had the Boss Breakfast Panini and it was delicious! The home fries are best i’ve ever had, coffe good and OJ was fresh. It’s got a great menu, place is old school vibe and super clean too.
Loved the photos of Bruce in hallway, no wonder he eats here it’s Born to Breakfast!“

“We had a nice time celebrating my son's surprise 21st birthday at Grillestone. Jose and staff were all very nice and easy to work with and they even helped pull off the surprise. Since it was a 21st Birthday, I wanted to keep it casual and wanted food that my son enjoys when hanhing out. Jose was accommodating and I ordered all different appetizers as the meal. We had plenty of food and it came out all night long as discussed just needed a little bread in between (lol) and we even had leftovers to take home as well. We had a variety of pizza, fried calamari, avacado toast, wings, mac & cheese, nachos, sliders & fries, quesadilla & Ceasar Salad, Great staff, food, drinks all night long. The only thing missing was the band/ DJ but the weather didn't cooperate that night. Thanks again and we look forward in coming back!!!“

“The BEST Greek food I’ve had in NJ. Highly recommend. Their lemon potatoes, lemon chicken soup and Greek fries are so fresh.“

“Omg I’m in love with the @countrystore454 . They are notorious for breakfast and lunch. The food was amazing no one spoke till the last bite. I had the worlds best Chicken Gyro 🥙. Made with real juicy chicken no mystery meat, fresh veggies, and tzatziki sauce so good I thought I was in Greece 🇬🇷. The wife had a classic cheesesteak you know I had to take a bite amazing to say the least. My mother in law had a Turkey club with crispy bacon non of that chewy stuff, it was packed with over 3 lb of the best @boarshead_official turkey. You can tell they take pride in fresh quality ingredients. My kids are super picky eaters and they gave 2 thumbs up as they devoured tenders and crinkle fries.The store is so nostalgic with old school items like Mary Janes made with real molasses and peanut butter, my favorite was a refreshing apple soda. The staff was fast and very friendly. This place is a true hidden gem 💎 literally the bellybutton of NJ surrounded by beautiful farms and trees very picturesque. Saddle up and take a ride with the family you won’t be disappointed. . . . 🛣 @countrystore454 . . .“

“This place was interesting. I went there for food, and realized it's in a top golf. The food was not as expensive as I expected, and it was also better than I expected. The atmosphere was really weird tho. It felt like I was in a new car dealership with LED lights and a smell of rubber.

With that said, I still give it an 8/10. The staff were very friendly, the food was great, it was pretty cheap, I had a good time. Just be ready to be surrounded by top golf dad's ?“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“Service was excellent!!! Food and drink 🥤 too!“

“Here for NYE. Beautiful crowd and seems very family friendly. Food is guaranteed to be great. We highly recommend the burgers and steaks. Cooked to perfection. We are here with a table of 24.

Vegetarian options: Can accommodate to any diet plan.“

“Great vibes, friendly bartenders, pool tables, live sports, and the food is delicious!! 10/10“

“Just moved into the area and stopped in with my visiting daughter. Very friendly owner and staff, so clean and smelled great. Got an apple tuner as hot blueberry muffins came out. Such a nice guy gave me a hot blueberry muffin welcoming me into the area. I will definitely go back and try their Chicken parm with vodka sauce panini!“

“A tasteful experience, excellent service ~double thumbs up 👍👍“

“Everything very good but pricy That will limit me going there.“

“We needed a place to get together after a game with a lot of people. The Colonial didn’t hesitate when I said 20 people. We came and they sat us in the back so we could all be together. Phil and Pedro were an amazing team. They organized our checks by family and all of our food came out hot, fast and delicious. So very thankful for this option in the area!“

“Good ribeye sandwich and good service“

“Calgo Gardens is a magical place. Nature, beauty, peace, and tranquility.

The people who own it and work there are friendly, knowledgeable and accepting. They give so much to their community. It is just a wonderful experience!“

“I consider myself a Buffalo Wing aficionado. This place has awesome wings and and awesome atmosphere! Service is also great. Thank you!“

“Yes, it was to meet my friends and have brunch. Everything was great but they do need to tell you that they need to mention any fruits that goes on your pancakes or the side that they come cold that is my only complaint you have to let them know that you would like your fruits warmed up“

“Love it here! Live bands and fun“

“Friendly Staff, delicious food, nice location.“

“Excellent food and service. We enjoyed hot dog, burger, fries, onion rings, and of course rootbeer.“

“On my way home from American Dream, I decided to stop here for a bite. I ordered through the kiosk, which I appreciated because it allowed the staff to focus on preparing the food. I’m a fan of kiosks, especially when the menu is limited, since it helps prevent indecisive customers from holding up the line or slowing down the process for others.

The atmosphere is what you’d expect from a typical food stop when traveling—convenient with multiple food options available.

I ordered the avocado bacon burger with fries, which totaled $16.93. The food came out quickly, and as soon as I got to my car, I dug in. Let me tell you, Shake Shack never disappoints when it comes to a solid burger on the go. It was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The fries were lightly salted and served piping hot—once you start, you won’t want to stop!“

“shared late lunch with a guest mid-week

we were seated shortly after arrival into a neat and clean space

our server was very friendly and helpful

my pork chops were very good and nicely cooked
my "seasoned" French Fries bring my food rating down to 4 from 5, however, given they really didn't have any flavor

we were thankful this was open and available to us, as we live quite far away and it was a long day“
