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!“

“Had Mother's Day Brunch/Dinner Today, as in the past Visits the Food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🔥🔥 Its always Great to see & chat with Jason the Owner. I would Recommend Dining @ One Willow always. Never Disappoints😋😋“

“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“

“Go there every time we are at sandy hook great food snd service“

“Always a Good time and Great food Epic scenery“

“The food is fantastic! I especially love the fried pickles. The nachos were great and the burgers were delicious. I had the pleasure of attending an open mic night and catching live music on another night, which made for a great place to hang out.
However, the pours in mixed drinks are inconsistent. I got the rum bucket one night, got pleasantly drunk off of just one, got the same thing the next time I got there and barely felt tipsy off of two of them :/ I had the same experience another time with a different cocktail--one of them I could taste the alcohol and I liked it, I ordered the same one again and it had very little alcohol in it.“

“Service was attentive but she said she had to take our appetizer order and main course at same time but assured us it would be spaced out. It was not. Main entrees came out as we were still on the appetizers and they even wanted to take the appetizer plates away. Spent $340 and this is what we get? Never will return again!“

“Great mussels! Dog friendly outdoor seating. Great location on the water.“

“The fresh ingredients, the unique flavors, the spice-level made-to-order and the hospitality make this one of New Jersey's best restaurants!“

“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.“

“I’ve been a customer since they opened, and I still get excited when I sit down to a Love Bowl (tempeh and spicy peanut). The owners are dedicated, hardworking, and their food is delicious and satisfying. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-15“

“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.“

“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!“

“Just a damn good down home restaurant with good food good prices and good people .“

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

“My friends and I stopped at this BWW location after a long beach day, and we had the most amazing time! The restaurant was more than accommodating for our group of 13 people, and all the staff were so friendly. Rosa was our server and she was the kindest, and most genuine person we have ever met. She checked in on us many times, and was so nice to chat with. She clearly loves her job, and you can't help but smile when talking to her. All the food was delicious, and they got every order perfect. We had the best time at this BWW and will definitely be back to visit Rosa!“

“What an absolute delight and surprise! Chef Salil personally brought the day's special dish for us to try. Remarkable and memorable. Explained the menu to perfection. The food so fresh and made daily in their kitchen. We will be going back often.“

Jeanine, our server, greeted us at the door and made us feel like her purpose was for us to have a memorable dining experience. Mission accomplished! Thanks, Jeanine! The food was delicious; the presentation was beautiful; and the restroom was thoughtfully appointed. We had a terrific time.“

“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!“

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

“I had a great casual lunch with friends here yesterday. First of all, the staff is very friendly and helped me understand the menu items when I had a few questions.

This is the sort of spot that combines the menus of many different restaurants so everyone has something to choose from depending on their taste. The lamb gyro I ordered was made with fresh ingredients and they have the best kind of fries as a side (in my opinion 🫶).

I was the only one that ate meat out of our group and my two vegan friends had plenty of options to choose from.

There is a wheel chair ramp.

There is limited indoor seating from what I saw.“

“I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years. This is by far my favorite restaurant in Ocean Township! If you want a great fine dining experience with delicious food and a friendly owner and staff, Piccolo’s is the place to go! They are consistently delicious :). Highly recommend this establishment. 5 Stars!!!

“Apple Street Kitchen was the venue for my surprise birthday party this past weekend. Everything about this lovely place was amazing. It was the perfect size for our family and friends, the food was outstanding, each dish delicious, the service was wonderful, the evening was perfect. Many thanks to the wait staff and the chef for a very special and memorable evening, I couldn’t have loved it more.“

“Very cozy upstairs tasting room. Carton is located right off the downtown in Atlantic Highlands. They have a lot of delicious well crafted beers. You can pick up what you already love in cans downstairs or try what's new in the upstairs tap room. Nice couches to sit at relax and enjoy. You can also sit in chairs with tables made out of barrels or stand at two bars they have diagonal from each other. Great beer selection and some are very different and experimental, which makes visiting a fun time if you enjoy craft beer. If so head over to Carton where they have great beer and knowledgeable staff. Very welcoming and friendly 😊.“

“The food is great, served in a timely fashion, service very good. Lobster salad sandwiches are outstanding.“

“We were searching for delicious Indian cuisine and we found it at Tandoor India Restaurant. The chicken biryani was delicious delicious and large portion filled with plenty of protein. The samosas or large and hot and very tasty. I had the chicken korma delicious and savory. As you know we had to take a doggy bag because we were unable to finish our meal. The atmosphere was very friendly and another couple who was seated next to our table would not stop talking about how delicious the food was.
Thank you for making our Asbury Park experience a memorable one.“

“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.“

“Most amazing views you could ask for on the water. \nWatch the boats come in and the ferry go out. \n\nThe sangria comes by the picture and is exceptionally good. \nThe service was very good and bar scene was vibrant. \nThe food is very good too. \nYou go here for the view and get good eats to top it off!“

“The best. Our son, and our favorite spot! Thank you for the birthday hospitality Nick and staff. Nicholas really enjoyed himself and the food was amazing as always.“

“Good for breakfast and lunch - cash only. The patio is lovely in warm weather and the location is tops - very picturesque. Weekends during the summer is crunch time! Food is good, not great but thats ok as you dont go to Sissy's for a gourmet experience. Like to bring visitors as the location can't be beat“

“First time to the restaurant last night and we loved everything! Had pork dumplings, spaghetti with clams and the crab cakes. Great service too! We will be back 😀👍🏼“

“Food was good, service was great (Alex) . They charge you if you use your credit card and in my case my debit card. My biggest complaint is that the oysters were the size of my thumb nail, so skip the oysters.“

“We ordered catering for our son’s graduation party yesterday. It was perfection. Everything was delicious, exactly as ordered, well organized and ready to be served/put in sternos to keep warm. All the guests raved about it, and we have leftovers for today! The pricing was also extremely economical! Yum!!!“

“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“

“For my family, this is where the highest quality and best prepared ‘Japanese flavors and Asian-inspired dishes [lives] in the heart of Red Bank, NJ’. First restaurant I thought of recently when in dire need of a comforting and safe meal that was both familiar and yet exciting at the same time. If I was to embody Remy the Rat from Disney Pixar’s ‘Ratatouille’, this would be my ‘Gusteau’s’. My culinary sanctuary. For many, asian cuisine is seen as a last minute idea and has been portrayed in media as the ‘take-out go to’ which often flattens and stereotypes the flavors and experiences associated with the cuisine. To me, this restaurant is more than a last minute decision. It feels like a homemade meal just for you, dine-in or takeout.“

“Food was delicious and service was great.“

“The gluten free empanadas were the best ever!“

“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.“
