Restaurants in Freehold

“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.”

“Owner should learn how to treat customers We were a party of four and we arrived on time for a 7:45 reservation. When we arrived there were many people waiting to be seated. We were told that the wait would only be 10 - 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes later we were told that the wait would be an additional 10 - 15 minutes. A half hour later my wife was told that the wait would only be another 10 - 15 minutes. After 45 minutes I requested to speak with the owner and I was told that I was speaking with the owner (at that point there was only one other group waiting to be seated). They informed me that a group of six with an 8:00 reservation was just seated. I said that it was not fair to make us wait 45 minutes since we did have a reservation and the people with a later reservation were just seated. I said that I may have something to say about it after the meal. The reply was "if you have something to say, say it now"! I replied that I would reserve my thoughts until after the meal. How insulting, imagine waiting over 45 minutes and then being told if I had anything to say I shouldn't wait till after my dinner, that I should say it now. I replied that I would wait till after the meal before I had any additional comments. With that we were refused service and we were told to leave. I am a 75 year old retired veteran and in my life I was never treated in this manner. When we grew up we had more respect for others. This is not how customers should be treated.”

“I have been here many times, so I was surprised when the service was spotty. We ordered wine. Took some time but the glasses were put on the table. After quite some time we asked the server where the wine was. She replied that they cannot find the bottle requested. Never did she come to ask if we wanted a different one. We said never-mind and she just whisked the glasses off the table. Hmmm. The food however was delicious. Huge portions and nicely presented.”

“1st time! Delicious food! We had the Vegetable Samosa and Tandoori Chicken Tikka for starters! Both were fabulous tasting, the Samosa had a nice spice to it, and the sizzling Tikka was just perfect! I had a Chicken Kadai and the wife had Chicken Badami Korma. Both delicious and even though I enjoy heat, these two dishes were mild and absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised at the great flavors! I highly recommended! And the prices are very reasonable! Will be back!”

“Our favorite date night spot!! From the moment you enter- elegant atmosphere, warm faces and nice music set the tone for a wonderful night. Anthony the owner makes you feel like you’re the only diners there- making sure you’re enjoying yourself, getting your food in a timely manner and making it special. He is such a kind generous man. The servers Faith, Carson, and JoJo are absolutely incredible- they are knowledgeable about the food, friendly, and their work ethic is incredible for such young people. They truly made our night special! The food is the star- best rice balls we’ve ever had!! We have been dreaming of them ever since! The homemade burrata, meatballs and eggplant were also just amazing. We had the homemade gnocchi and chicken scarpiello- again the best we’ve ever had We are locals and try to get here as often as we can for date night- and we are always so amazed how it continues to be just 5 star every time. It’s a special, special place and we are lucky to have such a gem in our small town. Thank you Anthony & Heather!”

“Well!!!! Can’t say enough GOOD things about the skillet by Sal!! I am aching to try something different because I am just loving the fratta! Brought back memories of my mom!!! Service is ?? great. I have passed the good word and just had to share!!! Btw Leslie is an exceptional waitress!!! Can’t wait to go back. I also had a iced latte today. YUM”

“We went to River Edge branch on Friday night - the music and atmosphere are great.Restaurant is beautiful. They have very good singer/DJ, people were dancing till very late. Food is good too - we ordered lamb shish kebab, fried potatoes, stuffed mushrooms, samsa, some salads - everything was delicious. Highly recommended.”

“Visited on a family vacation, asked the young ladies behind the counter what was fun to do around the area. They went above and beyond naming me places and their addresses to attend on my visit. There’s not much to do in the area, but they were a fun part to the journey. The food and atmosphere were so great, we visited again before leaving.”

“We had such a great dinner with friends. The food was outstanding and so was the service. We have never been disappointed when eating at this restaurant. I highly recommend for any occasion or no occasion.”

“best ice cream in Freehold. Been coming here for 60 years”

“great good and service will back back for more”

“A fantastic family run Italian Restaurant with a nice atmosphere and consistently delicious food. Pizza is a classic, but when it comes to sandwiches I recommend the Montague (a breaded chicken and roasted pepper sandwich) and the meatball sub. All of the staff and the cooks are amicable and welcoming.

I recommend signing up for their benefits so that you can get discounts and coupons.

The restaurant has a decently sized menu and someone could likely find anything they want to eat.”

“AWESOME, SERVICE GREAT! PRICES RIGHT ON!”

“Besides the awesome food they have the best service of anywhere. We often travel over an hour to go there.”

“We were so happy to see our favorite server brea there . She left IHOP and we’ve been hoping to see her. When we saw her at this place we were so excited . I’m telling all my friends we found her . My girlfriend had gifts for our children. IHOP refused to give us her information & we’re very nasty we all always asked for her. We will now be regulars there . Brea is the sweetest”

“I hate to say this, but the last two times we went here the service was slow. Very slow. To be clear, the wait staff was not the issue and they were very apologetic. No, both times the kitchen was super slow. In one instance, we sat down at 6:00 p.m. and did not eat until 8:00 p.m. Food is still excellent but they need to do something about what's happening in the kitchen.”

“Delicious food, wonderful staff and great music.”

“We had visited Lemon for a special family celebration. Steve, Chef Ash and the entire team were absolutely amazing and hospitable. Service was great; food was delicious. A good times had by everyone. Thank you, Lemon!”

“One of the best tasting ramen I have ever had. Great flavor, actually feels like an authentic bowl of ramen. Super attentive staff. Great interior and seating. If you’re waiting long, it’s worth it!”

“Omg food was amazing ... jack was amazing....first time here and definitely will be back again.....”

“I had an incredible dining experience at Oyako Tso. The moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive without being intrusive—truly professional and welcoming.

I ordered Sushi and Steak. It was absolutely delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, portions were generous, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh, not from a can of food, also high quality.

Special shoutout to the French Fries.

The service was amazing, and I never felt rushed. Even the little details, like presentation and drink pairings, I was so impressed.

Never was forced to tip, but still left 30 dollar tip.

I Highly recommend this place for a date night, special occasion, or just a good place to get food. I’ll definitely be coming back!!”

“La primera vez en mi vida que todo es perfecto, la comida la atención TODO me encanto de verdad que lo recomiendo el mejor restaurante de comida mexicana que he probado 💕”

“Always great service and above average food. When chips are included with your meal I shouldn’t have to pay $3 for salsa to go with it. Not a deal breaker though. Usually go on Taco Tuesday.”

“Great food and friendly staff!”

“We ordered catering this weekend for a 30th Birthday Party. The food was utterly fantastic. Their eggplant rollatini is the very best, and with a tray of meatballs to go with it, the guests were raving. The chicken francese was pounded thin with a lemon sauce and was so tender it could be cut with a plastic fork. I like this food so much, I brought it to south east of Philly for the party. Tommy (I think he is one of the owners) was so easy to deal with. He helped me figure out how much I needed for the number of guests I had and he didn't over sell. We had plenty of food that was delicious and reasonably priced.”

“yummy. great service reasonably priced tasty food”

Krystina made AMAZING cakes for my son & husbands birthdays in April & last week made a gorgeous cake for my sons communion, plus the most delicious mini chocolate chip cookies & brownies I & my guests ever had. Everything for both parties was perfection. I am beyond happy!”

“Calgo Gardens is a magical place. Nature, beauty, peace, and tranquility. The gift shop is filled with unique and exciting gift ideas, The tulip tree Cafe offers delicious creative cuisine, the gardens and flowers and statuary are beautiful. The events are such fun! 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!”

“We love the classic nachos and the Chipotle bowl. The chocolate chip dessert id another story, hard as a rock!”

“Rook in Freehold made itself a staple in my morning routine! Not only do they craft a fantastic product to help jumpstart my daily productivity, but the employees are some of the kindest people going. It’s hard not to smile when in the building, knowing you’re going to indulge in a delicious cup of coffee and chat with a great staff of people. Thank you Rook in Freehold, I will see you tomorrow.”

“Always excellent food and great service 👌🏿”

“buenos presios y comida muy rica”

“Baco's Gourmet Pizza is hands down one of my favorite spots! The staff is always super friendly and welcoming every time I walk in. they really make you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit.”

“We ordered a cake very late before an event, they were so nice and prompt about it. we told them that we wanted the cake to be tall and gold, gave them the flavors, and told them to design it however they wanted! the cake was decorated amazing! it’s gorgeous. and usually pretty cakes don’t taste good but it was so moist! we got the canoli, and chocolate fudge and the canoli is sooo good! chocolate was also good but we all liked canoli better! the cake was 80$ super affordable compared to other places, it fed about 16-20 people!! totally recommend!!”

“I love going for tastings at Thomasello. It is affordable and the small tasting room is very quiet. Youu get a ton of individualized attention from the workers. Tracy gave me suggestions based on my described pallet. She clearly likes her job. Everyone is always very kind. I would suggest trying them out.”

“I think Pepe’s is a great place to get all the basic essentials you need to live out in that area . The prices are pretty good and the quality of merchandise is exceptional, the food is fresh and delicious and the employees are true gentleman , very kind and courteous.

Kid-friendliness: The store employees are very kind and courteous and Pepe’s always go out of there way to please a crowd of children.”

“unique chicken taste. wonderful taste. reasonable price. chicken lovers you won't be disappointed”

“Great food!! Never disappoints us!!”

“I'm not a big fan of icecream&gelati but I was in the area and I said to give it a try. Service is fast and friendly. I ordered a small gelati and before taking my first bite I noticed that there was something in it, I'm not sure if it was hair, it looked more like a thread from a fabric. I went back and the girl looked so embarassed.. She apologized and offered me another gelati, a big one and she insisted on giving me a 2nd item, which I refused, I wasn't even able to finish the gelati lol.I really appreciated her”

“Excelente comida y una buena atención yo les recomiendo”

“Surprising we hadn’t tried this place all these years living here as it was a lovely lunch we recently had.

Famous Freddy served us and treated us like long lost friends even though it was our first time. Table service is nice with tablecloths and a nice decor. Our special requests were accommodated and Freddy regaled us with lively conversation.

We enjoyed the cold sesame noodles, the sauce a little on the loose side for my taste but it was fine otherwise. Vegetable Lo Mein was as expected and the General Tso’s tofu was also very good. I prefer a different style for the sauce(darker/spicier) and tofu(firm ripped pieces vs soft cubes) but I’ve had this style before as well and it’s fine.

Addl hot sauce was provided and overall we enjoyed the meal.”

“We LOVE going here. The pizzas are made with such care and perfect spacing of toppings. Every bite is delicious. Crust is just how I like it. You can make special requests for any food item and they are so happy to accommodate. They even do catering trays!”

“best service. I had difficulty with the app for curbside pickup and the server was kind and helpful even with the 90+ temperatures”

“(Translated by Google) The girls are very nice. The food is tasty, sometimes very spicy ... sometimes it is overdone with seasonings. Well nobody is perfect. Anyway, they treat you well.(Original)Son muy amables las muchachas. La comida es sabrosa, algunas veces muy picante..hay veces la pasan de condimentos. Bueno nadie es perfecto. En fin, te tratan bien.”

“Great Mexican food large selection everything is fresh and the service the best”

“I had a fantastic experience! Despite hearing some complaints about rudeness, I found the service to be impeccable. The food was incredibly fresh, especially the tuna, which had a beautiful red color, and the salmon roe was absolutely delicious. Every dish I tried was truly exceptional and made my visit an unforgettable one.”

“My grandchildren love this place so my son took us at there at 5 minutes before closing at 5 pm. They were nice enough to let us in. We got Bavarian Cream and Chocolates S’mores. Delicious!! Very unique and tasty donuts with friendly and smiling staff. My grandchildren have great taste!!”

“My daughter's wedding was held at the Manor this past weekend, May 6th. Everything was wonderful, fom the beautiful flower arrangements to the food that was simply delicious. But what truly stood out of this place was the service rendered by all of the attendants. I have been to many weddings in my lifetime and I have never experienced such impeccable service. Congratulations to all of them for doing a wonderful job and making it so special for my daughter and her now husband. Keep up the great work!”

Thank you Frank for an awesome job! We can’t wait to call you for our next event!!”

Vittoria did a great job with the Bloody Mary cart and overall with service along with Camryon and Paris. Tiffany was wonderful behind the bar ensuring everyone had a great time and was able to enjoy whatever drink they had in mind!”

“Great food.Great price your sunday bartender has no personality zero”

“I'm not going to talk about the food at this location, because it's typical Chipotle, and I like it. My rating is on the ambiance. This is an older Chipotle, and it looks and feels so. The dine-in area is much too small and always in need of a clean-up. Even the area where you line up to order is cramped. Perhaps it's time for them to move to a larger, more modern space. I know that I and, others I know, would dine there more often if the place was more inviting.”
