50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Highlands

“If I could give 10 stars I would! I just had my daughter’s baptism lunch at Fresh and along with every single guest we had I could not be more happy with the food, service,hospitality and accommodations! The food was delicious! So fresh and made with passion. The chef knows what he’s doing. The 2 men that hosted for us were beyond professional, patient and friendly to us and our guests. Every step of the way from planning to finish they were amazing! After we got home I had so many people reaching out to me about how good this place is and how they will definitely be returning for dinner in the near future. Thank you all so much for helping make this day stress free and most importantly SPECIAL!“

“I can't say enough good things about this place, obviously a waterfront beach bar has an amazing view and cool atmosphere, they're constantly hosting events, live music, which attracts a great crowd as well. And by the way, in my opinion as far as bar food goes they're top tier. Not just burgers and chicken fingers but kabobs and short ribs and things you typically see as bar food. Awesome bar food, get a spot on a couch in front of a fire pit next to the water with live music... hard to beat that“

“Went because it is listed as being on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Was greeted as soon as we entered by a friendly bartender. All servers and bartenders are fun and pleasant.

“We were looking for a vegan restaurant to stop at about halfway through a drive from Bergen County to a shore point and found this place on Happy Cow. It did not disappoint! Food was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive, and the portions were large. We ordered the mac & cheese with coconut bacon and the Reuben sandwich. Although we were full we ordered two desserts to go because they looked so delicious . We ate them later on at home and they were delicious as well! We got the slutty brownie and the chocolate chip cookie. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area.“

“it has been awhile since I was in Atlantic Highlands when JUS was still open. I am so glad that I was able to stop in today. The Chia pudding was always a favorite. The pudding used to be served in a small cup by itself. Well now it comes in a bowl with fruit, nuts, syrup and then some .... it was delicious before but even more fantastic now. And sorry, no photo because it was eaten before I wrote this! Yum!“

“Super delicious Italian cuisine, excellent dessert menu, super ambiance, free parking and to top it all off; you can stroll the boardwalk to enjoy the cool sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean.“

“This was my very first time trying Indian food, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I went with a good friend who guided me through the menu and helped me choose dishes that were flavorful without being overwhelmingly spicy. The owner was also incredibly kind and took the time to make sure I had a great introduction to Indian cuisine.

The food itself was amazing—every dish was rich, balanced, and full of flavor. It gave me the chance to really enjoy something new without feeling intimidated. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and genuinely wanted me to enjoy my meal.

The restaurant itself was spotless, comfortable, and welcoming. The atmosphere made me feel relaxed and set the tone for an unforgettable first experience with Indian food.

If you’ve never tried Indian food before, I highly recommend Tandoor India Restaurant. They’ll take great care of you, guide you through the menu, and make sure you walk away with a full stomach and a smile. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Fun place to watch sports. If you are not a fan of loud places then this is not your spot. Recommend take out. My husbands burger was very good. Tasted fresh and delicious. The black bean patty was just okay. Could have been cooked better in the middle but was decent. The French fries are the best. Always a good time. Crispy and flavorful!“

“I was there last night for the first time. The atmosphere was very relaxing and spotlessly clean. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent and very nice size portions. I will be putting this on my go to restaurant list.“

“The food is fresh and beautifully presented. Waitstaff is so helpful. The restaurant is immaculate. Our favorite restaurant. It is worth the hour and a half drive to get there.“

“Amazing food, amazing service. A bit pricy for the area and food but worth the go!“

“A tradition for us to visit when we’re in the area.

Always greeted by friendly staff. Whether you’re stopping in for a lunch special or enjoying dinner, you’ll leave full from the great portions of fresh, delicious, traditional food. Lunch special menu offers a great selection of appetizers with your meal. Pak Mor is a great appetizer!

You can’t go wrong with any choice. The duck, chicken, fish, rice, veggies, it is all amazing. I recommend you start with a bowl of Tom Kha Gai!

Thank you as always for the great time and hospitality. We look forward to returning each time!

ON TO THE NEXT VENTURE! 🤘😎🤘“

“Loved everything about this place. Summer atmosphere with amazing food and fantastic service. Our server was Maura and she was great! We had the salmon tartare and tuna cannoli for apps. I’m not a sushi/sashimi fan normally but both were delicious. We also had scallops and the crab-stuffed flounder which were also delicious. Cocktails were great too! If you like seafood don’t miss this place.“

“OMG! The best bagels ever! Mustafa, the owner, was friendly and attentive. I had a bagel with poached eggs and avocado. Scrumptious! My husband's everything bagel with lox and cream cheese was generously piled with lox. The only thing that is disappointing is that we don't live here to make this our regular bagel spot. We'll be taking some home with us on the airplane, though!“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“We’ve been coming to Carton Brewing since they first opened their doors, and it’s become one of our favorite places to spend time, now with our family, too. They’re always putting out new beers to try, and we never leave without grabbing a few to take home. The people here are genuinely great to chat with; Dave especially made us feel completely at home. We just love it here!“

“Wonderful evening, food was amazing,service was excellent“

Tonight I had chicken and eggplant. It was sweet and garlicky and cooked perfectly. 10/10. We also ate a Thai basil beef dish, also phenomenal and the Singapore noodles ... Fresh, spicy and so tasty. Thanks for another great meal, you have to eat here!“

“My family of 6 stopped in today after our photoshoot on the beach and we cannot stop talking about how amazing the food was. The coffee was freshly grounded and hot, all of the fruit was ripe and perfect, the eggs were fluffy and my nephew loved the fresh muffins.

He engaged in conversation with us and gave us some time to look of the menu which was extensive. The food was beautifully prepared and delicious. There were so many things we wanted to try so we’ll have to come back.“

“Great food. Nice people. The best!“

“If I tell you how wonderful the place, the people, the plates are will you promise not to go? It’s hard enough snagging a reservation without hoards of people trying to book a table after reading justifiably rave reviews. OK, here goes. Agnolotti pasta and sweet potato hush puppies as appetizers to start and oh, what a start it was. Monk fish and a bacon-jam encrusted pork chop, both cooked to perfection, as entrees. Lemon tart and a you-gotta-try-it-once-in-your-life “budino,” for dessert. (Do you know stressed spelled backwards is desserts?) What’s a budino you ask? Adult pudding, whipped by angels, so addictive it must have been created by Satan. Farm to Table, fresh, sustainable, local, tucked away on a side street in Red Bank… and you get to bring your own favorite wine. Don’t go. Don’t tell your friends. Let this gem be all mine.“

“We went here yesterday before a show at the theater... Food was outstanding great service and great ambience“

“The breakfast there was amazing and the bacon pancakes are to die for. That’s how good they were. That was the breakfast my family had“
