50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Highlands

“Such a lovely, welcoming dining experience. The food is amazing, as is the chef. His specials were made with love and some of the best meals we have ever had. Could not give a higher recommendation.“

“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“

“Always a Good time and Great food Epic scenery“

“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. The food was much better than I thought it was going to be. Two drinks, appetizers and entrees for 2 people and it was under $100!!! Will go again.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, view and atmosphere! Darrel and his team are top notch. Highly recommend lunch, dinner or happy hour at this spot!“

“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.“

“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! 🤘😎🤘“

“I came in for The Big Meal Deal the other night. I was seated in no time at all with a great view of the big screen TV. Minutes later a young lady named Maddy came over and introduced herself and asked if I would like to order a beverage. I ordered my beverage and my meal at the same time . Maddy then inquired if I would be interested in an appetizer. I do like buffalo wings so I ordered them as a starter. My beverage was delivered to my table very quickly by Maddy. She returned with the buffalo wings at almost an unbelievable short wait, I was offered ranch and bleu cheese for dipping and wet naps and napkins for my hands. To my surprise my bacon cheese burger came out exactly as ordered medium rare. (Nice Tender And Juicy) I expect to return to the Middletown Applebee`s in the very near future. I will be asking to be seated in Maddy`s section and I suggest you do the same. Maddy is very professional and treats you with a fun, friendly, attentive and respectful personality !!!“

“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!“

“My first time here. Loved it. The food was delicious! Felt like I immediately was in a neighborhood restaurant. And the prices weren’t over the top. Very reasonable.“

“What a wonderful restaurant. Upscale atmosphere and service. The food is beyond delicious! I look forward to returning!“

“Stopped in for lunch while shopping and had a very good meal. I ordered the Crispy Chicken sandwich, which came with a side, I chose salad(but french fries were also an option) the sandwich was quite good and the salad was fresh and the dressing was delicious.
My server, Victoria, was delightful! So pleasant and efficient, it made for a very enjoyable lunch visit.
I will definitely be stopping by again, when I'm shopping the stores at The Grove.“

“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. We’re already making plans to come back to the area for breakfast“

“My wife and I went to Christines last night, on recommendations from many, to celebrate her birthday. Wow. Met at the door by the owner, Ron. Big personality that was both genuine and welcoming. He and the staff made my wife feel extra special! The food was what I was expecting, given all the reviews from friends, authentic and delicious! Everything from the appetizers, main courses, desert....exceptional. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Don’t order anything with grilled chicken, way too spicy and dried out! Their egg dishes are very good.“
