(Revised for Privacy reasons for the employee) who made me a delicious Protein Smoothie the best around a little pricey but compared to other places worth it. Under New management recently seems to be doing well.

Colorful.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking right in front.“

“Another amazing meal at our regular date night spot. We had the pleasure of having Mark as our waiter- he's new to the staff but an excellent addition! Johnathan was training him and also did an awesome job of stepping back and letting Mark take the lead and jumping in if needed. We tried a new antipasto bruschetta that they added to the menu and it is not to be missed! Delicious! Thank you 618 for delivering consistent food and service.“

“We were just as surprised as were impressed with the quality of our meals, coffee flights, and service. We recommend everyone come here and you will be back bringing your friends and family. Absolutely recommend asking specifically for Diane she was a treat and made the great experience even better. We are full but already looking forward to our next visit.“

“We had the chef’s tasting menu and the food was delicious. They adjusted dishes due to dietary preferences or restrictions and we really appreciated this. The service was the most personal and professional I’ve ever had and I have eaten at Michelin restaurants before. I highly recommend!Parking: The parking lot can get pretty full but you’ll most likely always find a spot.“

“Bovine is the place to be in Jamesburg. We love their events nights like family feud, trivia, and live music because it's the kind of place you can sit down and feel welcome by the staff and people around you, especially at the bar and ESPECIALLY when the manager Kyle is on. I recommend this place wholeheartedly to everyone, whether they live near or far. If I had to recommend anything (I've been here a bunch) I'd say try out the Jamesburger and Oreodough milkshake. And if you're feeling wild, get an alcoholic Nutter Udder Shake or Diablo margarita (spicy!).“

“Went on a Sunday afternoon to watch some NFL Playoff football. Bartenders were fast/friendly, drinks were cold/served perfect, and food was good. There are TV's everywhere, so there really isn't a bad seat. Great atmosphere, friendly crowd, with a sports bar look and feel. Plenty of parking and bathrooms are spotless. When in town again, we will definitely stop in.“

“Flaming Chorizo for an appy, which we both enjoyed. I had the Rigatoni Bolognese for dinner, which I liked. And my wife had Chicken Parm, which she loves. They only had one IPA: Fiddlehead, which I don't love. And the Margarita was $14 and not very good. I was tempted to deduct a star because of the drinks, but the bartenders were great, so I decided not to. We sat at the bar, which I prefer. My wife was not completely comfortable on the chair. My complaints are meant to be suggestions. I will be back.“

“Zinna's Bistro is well-nigh perfect: the setting on a waterfront; indoor and outdoor seating equally charming; food that is always prepared carefully and to order; service staff that is amazing in friendliness without ever being intrusive. There are few restaurants around so enjoyable.“

“My favorite breakfast/brunch location. There's often a long wait, so I guess a lot of people agree with me, but it is well worth the wait. The food is prepared perfectly, the portions are large, the coffee is great, the service is quick and friendly, and prices for all that are quite reasonable.I love this place!We were among the earliest customers on this, their 1st day of reopening, following a month closure for renovations in both the kitchen and dining areas. The food was excellent (as usual), the service was the same high standard we have come to enjoy, the prices remain competitive, and the new look is modern & refreshing. This is still my favorite breakfast/brunch place.“

“I ordered lunch from Dootsie's today (via UberEats) and I'm STILL FULL! The food was amazing, full of flavor and tasted like it was made with care. The baked chicken was SOOO GOOD, collards & cabbage well cooked! And I don't know what is in the Mac and cheese but I could probably eat a whole tray of it in one sitting. ?“

And the service was pretty good.. I would ask for couple more options for Vegetarians :)Vegetarian options: There were a few choices, for sure.Parking: Small parking in the side but we didn't have any issues“

“Went last night and everything we order was amazing. I got a sandwich and the chicken was freshly fried. Also got what looked like a fried calzone filled with chicken and mozzarella then topped with vodka sauce, it was on another level. We also shared the special which was chicken leg that fell off the bone and was season perfectly. Everyone there was super nice, great atmosphere and people! Definitely will be going back.“

“Had my daughters first birthday party here after looking at multiple other restaurants. This restaurant had the nicest party room and the food was delicious. The day of the party, I was able to come early to decorate and set up. The owner and his family were very kind and helped set up the room and accommodated our requests.They continually checked in throughout the event to make sure we were happy and if we needed anything. The waitresses made sure we had enough food and the kids were all given kids meals which they loved. My guests raved about the chicken francese and baked clams.It was a great day and I felt very at peace knowing how helpful staff was and didn't have to worry about the party going smoothly. Definitely recommend Ruoccos!“

“I literally go here once a weekend. The food is amazing as which made me continue my goings to here. The service is also amazing as no matter how crowded it is the service is always quick and I get in and out of there. Lastly, Ambiance is the best which gives a theme of a classic breakfast/lunch/dinner diner.“

“I recently tried Maloneys on Main and had their patty melt, which was delicious. The flavors melted together perfectly, creating a satisfying meal. I sat at the bar and paired it with a blond beer, which I don't typically drink, and it was a surprisingly great combination. Overall, Maloneys on Main is a great spot for a tasty meal and drinks.“
“5 star tacos, but it seems they gave up on the inside 20 years ago so -1 star.Accompanying Pepper: small roasted pepper (serrano maybe?), damn that little thing is hot, very hot. One small bite was a painfully wonderful way to start the meal.Tacos: 3 corn tortilla pork tacos with with diced onions and an obscene amount of cilantro and they were legit great. Also accompanied were salsa and lime wedge. Another bite of that pepper to keep you honest. Delicious!More research required“

“If you want good,authentic Greek without needing to go to a "high end" restaurant with "high end" pricing you found it! Jimmy's has always been consistently excellent with the food they have served me and my family. The service is fast and attentive and they do a good job making you feel welcome. The restaurant is nestled in a strip mall and when inside it is nicely decorated and comfortable. The Gyro platters and Mixed Grill platter are extremely good and the portion sizes are nice as well. The Lemon Potatoes are cooked perfectly and are addicting. My favorite side dish and if they come with the meals even better. The spinach rice is also highly recommended if you choose that as your side or have it with your meal. Always go back to this place as I haven't found a Greek restaurant close to them in the area.“

“Perhaps i ordered the wrong main entree. The appetizers were good we got wings and the pretzels 6/10. i got chicken and waffle for my main and i have to say it was the blandest chicken ive ever had. No flavor in the chicken or the coat. Bland waffle. Most of the seasonings were on the egg and they didnt even ask me how i want that cooked because i definitely wouldve said sunnyside up…. They gave me over hard 1/10. Being unhappy with my choice i tried some of my friends’ pizzas and they were decent if you like soft crust (no crunch)7/10 in my opinion. Pistachio ricotta cake was dessert and it was good 9/10.“

“I was driving by and stopped to have dinner at this place. Not a fancy place but my meal was excellent.. I had stuffed eggplant and was totally satisfied. Service was fine, young lady didn't speak much English but that made the place so much more authentic. All the people eating here was Middle East and that how you now the food will be good“

“April 2024This is the old time Stewart's. The focus is on the food, not decorations.The service was outstanding ! Definitely, better than some of the upscale places.So what are they know for ? Hot Dogs and Burgers . They are also known for their Root Beer.MY FIRST BITE WAS AN INSTANT FLASH BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD.Thank you for not changing the recipe on your products.Honestly, my tongue has been hanging out for another hot dog since then.Stop in people. You won't regret it.They certainly have other option to eat. Some of it is healthy foods.“

“I saw this place and stopped in. It was very clean and had a good parking lot size. The restaurant inside is rather cozy and the pizza was fantastic! I ordered I think a shrimp scampi slice and it was really big and very filling. I would definitely go back here again, the people were also very nice.Parking: They have at least 10 spots in the front shared with a barber shop and a ravioli place, and then tons more parking in the back.“

“Originally a blacksmith shop and inn before turning into a tavern with the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. I may have been thrown out of here, several times. This bar is proudly #14 on NJ.com's Best Dive Bars list. I really like this place, wish it was closer to home. We used to find it by the giant satellite dish they had outside. I once tried to kiss a girl who worked here. She was so horrified she ran into the street. "Nooo..." Good times. Recently renovated before Covid. Bar top is lacquered plywood with a knotty pine fascia and walls. No foot rail but the floor is burnished (scorched) plywood. Stools are metal frame backed with cushion seats. Open 11AM to 2AM. Package goods available. Allegedly, there's a prison style two seater bathroom, sans privacy screen. More local history at keenbug.blogspot.comEvidence of billiards and electronic darts. Unused fireplace and hearth. They should should throw the Mp3 juke in the fire. Outside pen for smokers & dining al fresco. I'm told they have better food. I've seen the new menu and it looks like standard bar fare with a few salads thrown in to confuse you. Still, I miss it so...keenbug.blogspot.com/202…“

“This review is in addition to my son’s who just recently left a review about Roberto’s. He had to visit a diner for a class he is taking at Rutgers University and was only allowed 250 words for a review - his professors directions. I feel this diner is worth more than just 250 words, so here is my review to extend on his.Our family of 4 went here for breakfast and we were welcomed by the very friendly and humorous “Big Jim.” Not only is he the best host around, he makes the very scrumptious cheesecakes at the restaurant and in my opinion the best I ever had in a very long time. He has a facebook page called “Big Jim’s Cheesecakes” if you want to check out his amazing creations. We were seated immediately and were taken care of by Lorraine who was very friendly and attentive. At our table we had the sausage and gravy bowl - which was overflowing with delicious sausage, blueberry pancakes - filled with fresh blueberries, avocado toast that was loaded with avocado, eggs Florentine with the most perfectly cooked eggs and amazing homemade potatoes, red white and blue waffles with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, strawberry milkshake that was thick and delicious, homemade rice pudding, a piece of Big Jim’s amazing cheesecake and bottomless coffee that would put WaWa out of business because it was sooooo good. All of our portions were large, everything cooked was hot and fresh tasting, the diner and bathrooms were clean and our overall dining experience was the best we had in a long time. Roberto’s Freehold Grill treats you like you are a part of their family that they actually like. You must go here!Dietary restrictions: Plenty healthy options to chose from.Parking: Free parking behind the dinerKid-friendliness: Kids menu and crayons“

“This is for the Seafood Buffet only.The food was delicious and plentiful, lots of choices and they made sure nothing stayed around too long. I particularly liked the seafood boil and the mussels marinara.Not sure if these are on the regular menu but if not it should be.Excellent cocktails made perfectly.One thing about it though No desert on the buffet. 2 drinks and 2 buffet meals $180 including tip.It’s noisy as heck but that’s nothing new for this place.The $5.00 + for parking is just a peeve of mine.That’s just Freehold.This buffet is scheduled to end next week, hopefully they will extend it as the place was busy.I did enjoy my night out here.Parking: Valet is available but there was plenty of metered parking very close by.“

“I had an overall wonderful experience at Colonial Diner. The food was better than your average diner and the atmosphere was very notable. I spoke to who I believe to be the manager there about the place and he pointed out the original floors and tiles in the building. The diner had a long bar stretched across the building with multiple TVs playing movies. The staff was very friendly and my order was taken and came very quickly. I showed up about a little over an hour before closing and the restaurant did not have many people in there. The parking lot was large and had many spots. I came on a Thursday night and the staff was very quick everything was done almost immediately after sitting down.“

“Quick and tasty meal! In laments terms, this is a higher quality Boston Market. Flavorful rotisserie chicken and ample side options. The portions were large for a very fair price. White meat on the drier side as expected so maybe opt for dark meat next time. Tasty skin. Loved the green beans believe it or not. Sauce options include bbq, ranch, honey mustard, Buffalo, and their signature mix of Mayo/ketchup. The space was immaculately tidy with lots of seating. Friendly service. Great convenience after the gym across the way when I'm too tired to cook.“
“The lodge has a friendly atmosphere and a very helpful staff. I rented the room for my sister's bridal shower and it was perfect. I used a local caterer Nicolo's for the food and Mendokers for the cake and cookies. Would definitely recommend all of them!“
“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.“

“This Chapter House is excellent!! Stumbled across this place by accident, and a good thing we did! The Caprese Panini is the best I EVER had! The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the pesto was delicious, you could tell homemade. I substituted the fries for vegetables, and even the broccoli and carrots were so fresh. We sat at the bar, and the bartender Heidi was so nice, personable, and provided excellent service. A true experienced professional! She checked on us, made sure our food was to our liking, and friendly. It wasn't about her just doing her job. We can tell she likes what she does. The bar and restaurant were also very clean. We will be back.“

All the food was delicious, (the pernil tostada is a must have!) and the mimosa pitcher was a great deal for the table.

“We tried this place yesterday for the first time. We went to find out what Music Bingo (every Thursday) was all about. Although we caught the end, we had a good time. We had a few apps that were huge and a good drink. The vibe was fun and lively. All the staff were friendly, as well as the customers we interacted with. it was a lot nicer than I anticipated and the back area looks like it will be amazing when it gets warmer. I'm definitely going back.“

“The atmosphere in this cafe is eclectic and comforting, like going back to my childhood and visiting relatives! I was there with a group of friends, and everyone loved their sandwiches. I can say that my BLT was the best I've had in years...if not decades. It's a great place to relax over coffee after the meal, before browsing the the lovely surroundings and the crafty store (The Barn). I'm definitely going back.“

“We were pleasantly surprised. It has been years since we have been there but it was just as good as I remembered. Seated promptly, service immediately- nice menu and food was very good. We had burrata with butternut squash- such an odd combination but was delicious! Short rib empanada was also very tasty. All four of us were very happy with our entrees. Decided to go at the last minute and glad we did!“

“Chose to go here at random and were pleasantly surprised. The specials were listed on a board as soon as you walked in. We were seated quickly and our server was attentive and efficient. We had the appetizer special of stuffed mushrooms with crabmeat and it could have been an entree. So much crabmeat in the stuffing. My girlfriend had the stuffed filet of sole and had a lot of stuffing in them as well, fresh carrots, tater tots, and chicken noodle soup (homemade). I had the pork and figs which had sauteed spinach and fig chunks in marsala sauce over pork medallions. I chose the New England clam chowder which was also homemade. It had whole clams in it, that were cooked perfectly and had no grit in them. Everything was absolutely delicious. We will go back there again. Highly recommended.“

“MJ's is great place to go for happy hour. It's also not to be missed during the summer. Their outdoor dining setup is absolutely amazing. Right on the lake, they have plenty of outdoor seating and the background is so nice! The food in and of itself is pretty basic. This is not where the foodies and 5 star eaters go. However, for a nice lunch or happy hour drinks, this place does the trick! Typical bar food, some sushi options and sugary cocktails. The service is always decent and the place is huge so the waits are never very long. They also have banquet halls so you will often see weddings, private parties etc which can be nice if you like to people watch. They also have a DJ on weekend nights which can be nice but annoying if you are just coming for dinner. Not a date spot, but a great spot for a casual hang.“

Our server was extremely helpful in making our breakfast selections as well. Overall, it was a 9.5. We need to go back to try the Tempura Roll breakfast. That looks amazing as well.“

“Very nice little place right off Main St in Englishtown. Was greeted very friendly and the service was just excellent. The typical diner breakfast food was excellent, with the French toast as a standout. It's one of my favorite breakfast foods and they did a fantastic job with it. Will definitely come back here again and introduce people to good NJ diner food.“
