50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Holmdel

“We highly recommend Patricia's of Holmdel. We have frequented this establishment with our immediate family of 12 for birthdays, celebrations, and more! The environment is warm and inviting through its modern decor, enjoyable music, lighting, and seating. Tables are covered with white clothes and seating is comfortable whether inside or out. The location is well maintained and clean. The pricing is average for fine dining. The entire staff is exceptional. We enjoy all pleasantries with the staff members. It is evident that care is placed in choosing the staff. Each is professional, personable, and thorough. They make us feel like VIP every time we go, especially when John N. is our server. John N. is extremely knowledgeable of the inner workings of this establishment. We have severe food allergies and dietary restrictions. John N. illustrates such compassion towards us. He is diligent in keeping us safe, and keeps open communication with the chef when we are present. He is so kind and fun, too, in such a way that he feels like a family member. While eating at Patricia's it feels as if we are transported to a family dinner in Italy. Between the welcoming ambience, pleasant staff, and delicious food, we (without hesitation) highly recommend Patricia's of Holmdel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Been eating here for years. Love it. Best pizza hands down.“

“Houlihan's is definitely one of my go to dinner or lunch places on a regular basis. I always ask for Colleen as her customer service skills are an A+++. She is pleasant, knowledgeable, and makes great recommendations. Besides the made to order food; the amazing french onion soup, yummy chicken wings, perfect salmon, prime rib sandwich, just like homemade pot roast, just to name a few good foods, Colleen is a main reason why I have been a regular for so many years. A shout out also to Al, one of the managers who is also a staple at the Holmdel Houlihan's. He is a true customer service person and he always greets you with a big smile. As a matter of fact I am going to Houlihan's tonight for dinner and have already requested my favorite waitress Colleen. Now what should I order tonight....mmmmm“

“This is my third time sitting at the bar for a perfect 20oz Ribeye and a beer. Each time I was greeted at the bar with a smiling face and nice personality. While eating I was attended to no mater how busy she was with others and the servers. Michelle the bartender I greatly appreciate your excellent service, friendliness and smiling face. I will be back time and time again!“

“Three of us had a wonderful dine-in experience at Koy Grill Marlboro/Morganville enjoying authentic Turkish/Mediterranean flavors and attentive service. From the moment we opened the door at 8:30 pm on a Sunday evening, we were greeted by a hostess who genuinely welcomed us to the restaurant. When we were seated, a pretty glass bottle of cold water was brought to our table, along with seasoned fresh/homemade Turkish bread and olive tapenade. The dinnerware and utensils were clean and tightly wrapped in napkin. Waiter and hostess (Ali and Olivia) introduced themselves. New to restaurant, I was given ample time to review menu. Both Ali (in training) and Olivia were very patient with my many menu questions. Needless to say, Ali and Olivia were spot on. We ordered multiple appetizers - shepherd salad, hummus + pita, crispy feta in phyllo rolls, and lentil soup. For dinner we had chicken shish, lamb adana, and lamb gyro + pita that I opted to top with grilled mushrooms and hot pepper. The online photos did not do the dishes any justice. I should have taken my camera out to share how plentiful the dishes were when served and how perfectly grilled the meats were, too! The food had delicious seasoning - that did not repeat afterwards. We took leftovers home and will enjoy lunch the next day. We each had desserts, too, that were served in glassware. One pistachio/gelato and two hazelnut/chocolate flute - both as pictured on menu. We were offered to take glassware home with us afterwards, but forgot to take with us while we focused on remembering to take our bagged leftovers. All in all, it was a truly enjoyable, unplanned Sunday evening dinner. Aside from the freshly cooked delicious food and desserts, it was one of the most pleasant interactions with restaurant staff that I can remember in a long time. Thank You Koy Grill and an even bigger Thank You to Ali and Olivia for welcoming us and for providing us with a great restaurant experience.“

“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.“

“No Veteran or Senior Discounts. Food Superb. We had the Tom Yum soup with Shrimp (3 good sized).made as hot as we wanted. Crispy Duck-Ped Tamarind-perfect. Siam special noodle plate with Calamari, as hot as we wanted, top notch. New owner was very Friendly. Served an extra(no charge) bowl for sharing the Soup. As good as served in Thailand, very authentic. Will go back.“

“Food and service were excellent!! The owner was super attentive and kind. We ordered chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi, and golden dal. All were delicious and the perfect level of spice. The restaurant has a home-y, traditional Indian vibe to it. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“What a great time - highly recommend for a bachelorette party“

“From the moment Drew opened his doors in his original location we quickly became fans. This creative Chef who works magic with food has turned Drew’s Bayshore Bistro into one of the most popular restaurants to eat at. People come from all over to enjoy and will take any time slot available to do so. We have eaten here more times than I can count and have had many group dinners and celebrations. Drew’s new location is beyond beautiful and only a stone’s throw from his prior place. We just love the feel of the new home and the beautiful ambiance. it’s absolutely gorgeous from street view and fits perfectly into Keyport’s historic vibe. The food is also over the top insanely incredible. Oh yes I have favorites. The scallops are perfectly sautéed, tender juicy and was served with pesto risotto. A true explosion of flavor. Broiled oysters are one of the most incredible thing I’ve ever tasted and honestly could eat two portions for my main, but haven’t done that yet as there are so many things to try. Pork chops, steaks, soft shell crabs, voodoo shrimp, homemade ice cream and all his special makes it hard to choose what to order. Incredible list of specials are always offered. Menu changes for seasonal favorites. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I look at the menu. We are very thankful to Drew for sharing his vision and providing all of us with a delectable dinning experience each time we eat here. Five stars are not enough!“

“Awesome terrific food no doubt 100pct. People like Soria are the best in the business..but but but Jesus Mary&Joseph omg when u call there and whoever might pickup the phone all you hear is an enormous background noise like I'm in Las Vegas. That must stop. Not at all professional not in the least. Move the woman who answers the phone to a separate non loud room. Not close to acceptable. I couldn't hear myself placing my order“

“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.“

“stopped in after umping a game nearby...was hot and hungry. Ordered a Trenton (medium rare) w/o ketchup. Got to the place a few minutes before they said it would be ready, but it was ready as ordered. I barely had to stop walking to pickup my order. The guy at the cashier was friendly. The burger was quite large and really delicious. So much so that I probably don't need the pork roll next time. Will definitely be back as the burger was delicious and a good value at the price.“

“We ordered for delivery through DoorDash and I do not like to post bad reviews about anyone. It could have been an off day and it happens. We ordered the cinnamon pancakes, BLT on wheat and the eggs Benedict. I love eggs Benedict, the potatoes were good. It needed a little more hollandaise but the sad thing about my platter was it had half an egg shell. Just please make it better or be very careful. Thank you“

“Excellent authentic Mexican food. Server was great and knowledgeable about gluten allergies as well. If you want great Mexican food definitely check this place out.“

“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.“

“deliciosas comidas me encantan y la atención es muy buena y sobre todo muy limpio y áciado“

“I had lunch here at Delios in 2014. Here i revisit 2024 and I must say 10 years later and Katerina & Pete still serving the best Pizza. Godbless !!! Quality , Service and consistency is still the same! If you haven't tried it You must.

Love

“We have been to Nonna's many times and have always enjoyed the food and service. Today, my wife, daughter and I went to celebrate our 51st anniversary expecting to have a delicious dinner as usual. Although the food was excellent as always, the service was not! The waitress Melissa took our order and never saw her again until we were almost finished eating and had to wave to her to get more water. A man brought our bread and butter, another man brought our meals, and cheese etc. and that went well. It should be noted that Melissa never once came back to our table to see if the food was ok or if we needed anything. When she brought the water, she asked if we wanted desert, to which we declined. Another lady came and asked if we wanted our leftovers wrapped whereas she took our plates and returned immediately. Melissa dropped off the bill and walked away, and we never saw her again. We had some questions about the administration fee, because we were paying cash, but there was no one to ask so we just paid the bill, left the folder on the table and left, again, no one was around. When we were seated, there was a small party at a table near us, but they left long before we were ready to leave, so I cant understand why no one even came to our table, since by that time there were only about three tables of diners. Sorry I had to write this response but we were very unhappy with this dining visit. Like I said earlier, we have previously had great service and hope our next visit will be great. Thank You.“

“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!“

“Fantastisches Diner mit ebensolchen Essen. Das Ambiente versetzt einen zurück in die 50er und 60er. Viel Chrom, rote Polster und tolle Deko. Das Essen ist fantastisch. Service sehr aufmerksam.“

“Joan (Pronounced Yoann) was very attentive, polite, and cordial. He checked in with us occasionally to assure we were comfortable, enjoying the food and beverages, and had sufficient quantities. The food quality was excellent. Menu had changed since our last visit so we got adventurous with choices. Very tasty and cooked to perfection.“

“The food is always so amazing and it keeps getting better and better. The owners are so kind and treat us with respect!!“

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

“Been going here for years. Delicious food. A Hazlet institution!!“

“Exceptional service! Bobby reopened his restaurant upon my son and I arriving there after a late basketball practice. Instead of turning us away, he made us a personal pizza. The food was outstanding and moreover his kindness will make us future loyal customers.“

“great good and service will back back for more“

“I really enjoyed my experience here. The place is festive and very cute for kids. They give large portions and the food tastes fresh and tasty. It's a little bit more on the expensive side, but I think it's worth it. So far I've been there a few times and I've loved everything I ordered. Staff is friendly and my food comes quick.“

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

“We love coming to our local Applebees especially since we always get Sage our favorite waitress! She was absolutely fantastic and always gives us the best drink and food recommendations and always has such a kind demeanor and attitude and is always a pleasure.“

“When you are 1000 of miles away and you still can taste the sandwich, it is good. When you return to visit, you make sure you have cash, and this is the first stop always. And maybe another before you leave.“

“5 stars!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing little diner!♥️♥️♥️ Beautiful in its uniquely vintage way. Family owned and operated. Nice people Crazy delicious food! Big portions Homemade cakes, biscuits, and some unique menu offerings. Loved every minute!“

“We are pretty picky about fresh sushi since we have our usual go-to spots, but this place really impressed us. The sushi tasted fresh, and the quality felt a step above the typical sushi places we usually try. The poke bowl was really good too, and the chicken katsu was crispy and satisfying 👍“

“Had a Family Birthday Celebration Awesome definitely go back!!“

“Fast, friendly, and the Porker is orgasmic!!!😍🤤“

“excellent service delicious food...friendly family atmosphere“

“Been a customer for twenty years. Solid BYOB Italian restaurant with a veteran staff. Owner and general manager are always present. Ownership changed 9 years ago. Very good fresh pastas. I’m totally a fan of their main marinara sauce. Sometimes I’ve asked for it on the side. My wife and I have liked the seafood pasta panadora. I tend to order a lot of salads and I’ve tried most of them. My favorite is their chopped salad ($18). Sometimes I get it with the chicken option. I really like their own salad dressing. It’s a little different. The Greek salad is really good too. The braised slow cook short ribs are very popular; a long time specialty item. Their lunch menu is very reasonable. Surprisingly good burgers and sandwiches. I’m particularly a fan of their tuna sandwich, with several variations. I have found the service to always be excellent. I noticed their bread has been outstanding. Owner said they invested in a new ovens from Italy✅ Their homemade carrot cake is excellent, and I’m fussy when it comes to carrot cake, my favorite😀 Great location in downtown Red Bank on Wallace Street, which is not busy. There is municipal parking nearby. Keep in mind you generally have to pay in Red Bank unless you’re willing to walk a bit. Also, a special mention goes out to special events. They’re particularly good at parties. They scale well to what the needs of the event. It can be simple to full sit-down dinner or buffet.“

“Everything! The food and service was excellent!We love it!“

“had a problem but the manager was very concerned and made us happy we went.food absolutely delicious.“

“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 😀👍🏼“
