“I traveled over an hour to get to Seared and let me tell you, I was very impressed. My experience at Seared was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived until I left, I felt welcomed and pampered by the food and the service. I highly recommend it! I also have to mention the waiter Julieta was so amazing, she provided excellent service, was so patient with explaining the menu and always very courteous. We definitely will be back!”

“We took our mother out for her birthday to charq. the food was fresh and cooked to perfection. the service was amazing! and when we thought we couldnt eat anymore they brought the most amazing desserts - we polished them off.
highly recommended!!
5 stars!!”

“Little difficult to find the place. Went for lunch. Had the 4 kinds of tacos: chicken,short rib, beef, lamb. Also the fries which were crisp. and had 4 kinds of dipping sauce. Got the steak sandwich for my daughter. She loved hers. We loved the fries and tacos. manager was friendly and explained our options. I missed having Mexican. MOstly you get pizza, bagels Israeli style , and steak restaurants.”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect here, but I guess I’d call it a not-quite-balabus level steakhouse.
I went with 4 other people and ordered a steak which was okay, tasty but nothing crazy. When your paying their prices, a satisfactory steak just doesn’t cut it.
The design? Meh. And this was before all the competition came around. Now you really gotta up your game.
Not impressed by the ambience.
The service was ok too.
Listen though, I walked out with a full stomach, and that, my friend, always deserves 4 stars.”

“Customer Service? Stupendous. Taste? Delectable. Time from ordering do receiving food? Breakneck.

Overall? Extraordinary.

Highly recommend this place. The owner is ALWAYS there and willing to listen to feedback in order to better your experience.”

“What an exhilarating experience! The food was tasty, fresh and served to perfection! The ambience is classy, elegant and tasteful. The wait staff is engaged and effective. Maitre d Mike is a tour de force! You will really enjoy yourself at Entree! What a gem!”

“Food was delicious!! Service was great ! Highly recommend!!”

“Good food. Perfect place for takeout. Especially Thursday night. Fast service.
Their popper sandwich was amazing! Also the southern fried chicken was out of this world. Also they give free chicken soup to any meshulach that comes by!! Prices are affordable and not so expensive! Positive experience overall.”

“The owner and her waitstaff are friendly, attentive, and professional workers. They make good dishes, too! A 10/10 in my opinion. And their digital menus are also well done. Come here for yummy 😋 food 🍲 and good service. Prices are what you’d expect of a sit-in eating establishment, but not unreasonable.”

“Great different types of meat and steaks on Thursday and Friday. Delicious lunch options for somebody who just wants to eat a piece of cow without any salad or sandwich”

“Not just pannies, soup, stews, hot dogs etc delicious. Many sauces and toppings fresh daily if you haven't been here come you will be very pleased. Come in and say hi btw lol. Enjoy.”

“Everything about tomahawk steakhouse was amazing.. I was there two nights in a row and couldn't ask for better food, service and ambience. It was the best way to celebrate my daughter's birthday and coming from my family who owns the best Italian restaurants this was outstanding. 10 out of 10.”

“This restaurant is truly amazing. Their customer service is outstanding—always friendly and helpful. They have a huge selection of delicious gluten-free options, all safely prepared with no cross-contamination, and are one of the best restaurants out there for anyone who needs gluten-free food. They also have convenient parking, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s always a pleasure going there!!!”

“The other day my friends and I had the pleasure of eating at the Langhorn Steakhouse on Rt 70 in Lakewood. The meals were more than reasonably priced, and they were delicious. The staff was attentive, extremely friendly and courteous. Ty, the host, met us so amiably and showed us to our table. The server, Sharon B., was so attentive we never had to ask her for anything. Anything we needed she was right there to give it to us. We couldn't have asked for more.”

“Good food, very nice people!”

“An incredible and moving experience. Thank you to the great lady who gave us some free Polish cheese samples and took the time to talk to us about Polish traditions and other things. We look forward to making our visits to Biedronka Polish Deli a tradition; just a fantastic place and highly recommended!”

“The red salsa was delicious and the picaditas were tasty. Definitely will be coming more here. The agua de melon was refreshing. The Carne asada was juice and the coctel de camaron was good.”

“Great food with affordable prices. Perfect for breakfast and lunch with extremely polite employees and very quick service. You can sit outside on the picnic benches to eat or get your food ordered to go. Call ahead if you would like and pick up or pull over and enjoy some great food. I highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by and try it for yourself.”

“bowling here is a breeze! very smooth experience ran by the front desk(Ashli)made sure to spell that correctly, very sweet girl and doing a fantastic job!! keep it up ????”

“When I arrived I wasn't expecting much. I sat at the bar and was greeted promptly. I asked what was good and was told that if I like Sushi that is was really good! So I ordered some. It was fantastic!!

Good food, fast service and great atmosphere! I am definitely coming back!”

“Delicious Mexican flavors, cozy atmosphere and exceptional service. The tacos and guacamole stand out for their freshness and authentic seasoning. A place to always return to!””

“We attended an evening meal.
The food was fantastic. The selection and the suplement closing while we dined was the only drawback. The supplement menu was going to be closed which made us rush our order.
The drinks were great and even made to order. They came in a decent amount of time well done.
Easy parking
The staff I have to say should be commended. They were there when we needed and supportive and friendly throughout the meal. I will be honest we had a difficult personality with us but the staff had him smiling and happy. Again great staff!

The setup of the location is down a long corridor. With a very long walk to the end if you need the restrooms. You need to pass the kitchen (VERY CLEAN!!) and an event space.
When we attended the restaurant was not packed but it was still very loud.

Beyond that a wonderful place, wonderful meal, and a wonderful night.

“Best baby grilled chicken ever.”

“Good quality sushi and friendly service in downtown Lakewood. Quite a few different rolls and small dishes to choose from. They also had two types of boba tea, and the one we got was good. The service was friendly and they even gave us an extra dish that was made by mistake. But note this a counter order / takeout shop, not a sit-down restaurant w/ sushi bar. That was not clear to me when I went. If dining in, you order on tablets at the shop and they bring it out. Or you can order ahead and pick it up to go. Most of their business seems to be takeout. On the plus side, you don't have to tip a server. Pretty small inside, about 4 four-tops and 4 two-tops. Not dirty inside, but they should take some time cleaning the floor and windows more, as well as tidying up the inventory that's stacked up by the windows, to give it a nicer, more welcoming feel inside.”

“Literally the best food in lakewood
Open until 2 a.m The best thing that could ever happen to me and my friends And anybody else who feels hungry late at night?”

“love their tuna on a bagel and it's well priced too. will return. clean and friendly atmosphere. highly recommend!”

“I loved walking into The Ginger Bread House. The place was chock full of all kinds of sweets and yummy looking decorated cookies. I saw a beautiful array of platters and arrangements for every occasion. I was actually looking for something special to send for a new baby girl. They created a gorgeous arrangement and delivered it promptly. I would definitely use them again for other upcoming Simchos!”

“Very New York. Loved it. Sicilian the best. Friendly staff.”

“I had a Curry Patty and it was fantastic! so glad I stopped by to grab one.”

“Delicious Pizza, calzones and everything. Large seating area and great prices. Staff is extraordinarily friendly and fast, especially Levi, who rocks !! And Hemy greets everyone with a smile. Also, new Simcha room upstairs !! Perfect for ur Bris, Sheva Brochos or whatever !!”

“Must try out the new Burgar menu. Best i had. Great food and apps!!!️”

“I was very pleased to find this place. Im from Vineland, and it was such a thrill to find a kosher place with such a huge menu.

Dietary restrictions: Love that it's 100% kosher

“Deliciosa 😍 y en un buen tiempo”

“I LOVE THIS ESTABLISHMENT! FOR YEARS I BEEN HERE, I HAVENT BEEN IN LONG TIME AND I LOVE THE UPGRADE, ALSO THERE KINDNESS HAS NOT CHANGED EVEN WITH NEW PEOPLE! THEY ARE GREAT IM SO HAPPY THEY ARE STILL IN BUSINESS!”

“Great place, I especially like the coffee coladas, but everything there is good best ice cream in lakewood for cheap. Shout out to hermenez”

“Supreme Health exceeded my expectations by answering my call after hours and promptly delivering what I needed after they already completed the deliveries for the day. Their commitment to customer satisfaction shines through their exceptional service and professionalism. Highly recommended”

“Erev pesach at lakewood matzoh bakery was a dehoibene matzav with hasidic jews taking a break from helping their wives prepare for Yom tov to sing hazel with their friends and neighbors

Vegetarian options: All the matzoh is vegetarian and lactose free all made with American flour

Dietary restrictions: All those who's diet restrict them from eating leaven during passover can eat here with confidence

Parking: No issues with parking but mind the unsupervised young children in the parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Large windows for children to watch

Wheelchair accessibility: The matzoh is shaped as a wheel some say because those that could not walk were wheeled out of Egypt and some say to remind us of the Pharoah s chariot wheels and some say so one will not have to spend time contemplating with side to begin eating from”

“When I ordered a full sheet birthday cake (in person) the salesclerk was patient, professional and attentive to the details I requested. Great customer service! At pickup in Jan 2025, the large heavy cake was carried out to the car for me. It was beautifully decorated and exactly as expected. Again, great customer service! Best of all, at the party, many of our guests raved about the delicious cake. A fresh and moist chocolate cake filled with chocolate custard and iced with whipped cream. Excellent!”

“Great spot lots of food. Can't belive these restaurants only have 1 toliet though. Nobody likes waiting on line for a bathroom. To many people in here to have only 1 toliet”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Yussi's Catering for a family event in Lakewood, NJ, and I must say, their food and service were truly exceptional! The team at Yussi's went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, from the initial consultation to the final presentation.

The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options to suit every taste and dietary need. From the tender, flavorful meats to the fresh, crisp vegetables, every bite was a delight. The presentation was also impressive, with beautifully arranged platters and garnishes that added to the overall visual appeal.

But what really sets Yussi's apart is their phenomenal service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional, ensuring that every guest felt welcome and cared for. They worked seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

I would highly recommend Yussi's Catering to anyone looking for top-notch food and service in the Lakewood area. They truly exceeded my expectations and helped make our event a memorable success. Thank you, Yussi's, for a job well done!”

“(Translated by Google) THE FOOD IS VERY GOOD, EXCELLENT TASTE, SEASON, CONSISTENCY, PORTION (QUANTITY) THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY THAT WHEN YOU ORDER CHILAQUILES OR ENCHILADAS, ASK FOR ALUMINUM FOIL TO BE PUT SO THAT THE CARDBOARD PLATE DOES NOT BREAK WHEN IT GETS WET WITH THE SAUCE.(Original)LA COMIDA ES MUY BUENA, EXELENTE SABOR, SASÓN,CONSISTENCIA, PORCIÓN ( CANTIDAD) LO ÚNICO QUE PUEDO DECIR QUE CUANDO PIDAN CHILAQUILES O ENCHILADAS PIDAN QUE SE PONGA PAPEL ALUMINIO PARA QUE EL PLATO DE CARTÓN NO SE ROMPA AL HUMEDECERSE CON LA SALSA.”

“Brings you back to the old New York style, lower Eastside deli vibes.From the wooden floors, to the old furniture, and signage. It was delicious food and an amazing experience!”

“me and my friends love this place 💕 the employees are awesome”

“1st time customer ~ will def be a returning customer !! Delicious Thick Pan Pizza & Delicious chicken soup !! Yum!!!”

“This little convenience store looks like it was airlifted straight out of Mexico and dropped here sometime in the 90s. The floor tiles haven't aged a day, the fridges buzz like mariachi instruments, and some of the canned goods look like they've been patiently waiting for a buyer since the Clinton years.

The shelves are a mix of absolute gems and complete mysteries: sodas in glass bottles colder than an ice bath, snacks you won't find anywhere else in town, cleaning products that could probably remove car paint, and a random corner shrine for good measure.

It's not fancy, it's not modern, and it definitely doesn't follow any retail handbook-but that's the charm. It's the kind of place where you come for a bag of chips and leave feeling like you just traveled across the border without moving a mile.”

“This place has been owned by the same family in many many years..the owners are from Italy and speak broken English but if ur Italian like me it's beautiful to hear. They are the nicest ppl in the area and are also open till 1am and is there when you need a midnight snack. There pizza is literally the best I ever had

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get in and out of the pizzeria but may be tough to park depending”

“Good prices and super nice staff, great pizza as well. I called many pizza stores and here was the only place that was willing to make me a thin crust pizza (by simply removing some dough). Perfect location with parking.”

“First time trying this place today, love it! Will be back often!”

“One of the best eateries. We were a lot of people and the service was excellent. The food was over the top. Excellent menu.

Kid-friendliness: We had a lot of kids of all ages. Everyone enjoyed the food and the place

Wheelchair accessibility: It seemed very doable for wheelchairs”

“So many yummy options and great staff. Always willing to serve you and prepare your food with a smile. I really enjoy coming here to grab a quick bite and sometimes for a sitdown lunch. As well, always a great spot. Plenty of parking available outside can get a little bit traffic during the day.But overall great spot to grab food”

“Some items were really good and some were not as good as they could be.

Parking: Free parking with plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.”

“I love this place! I've been here since I was a kid and it will forever be my go-to Chinese place. The fried rice and fried shrimp combo is one of the best things ever. Food is always hot and ready for you to eat. The hot sauce is amazing. People might think the wait time is too long but it's worth it! Overall, amazing place. 10/10 would recommend 100%”

“I recently went with my family and I must say, that we were very happy with our orders. Our server, (I 99.9% sure her name was Nelsy) was very happy and nice. I got strawberry and sour patch water ice. It was all very delicious.”

“Delicious stuff”

“Good old fashioned Ice Cream with ALL the trimmings you can think up of. HotCake to Banana Split,Steaming fudge and the works.Youll be surprised at how popular and full the joint will be on a hot Sunday BUT the lines move very quick and overall there is a friendly feel to the dininh experience.”

“The tacos are insane!. Been going twice a week. The Al Pastor and the Barbacoa are extremely tasty and the barbacoa is spicy but so worth it. Swing by and try em!!! Soon”

“You will enjoy some of the freshest sushi that is available in Lakewood. I would recommend trying the lunchbox special. Pro tip: request Ponzu sauce

Paninis are delicious as well, and they have a large selection of fresh smoothies and shakes. Be prepared to open your wallet and your taste buds for the experience:)”

“I recommend ordering other dishes, all delicious, my favorite is a hot dog with papa's and jalapenos with corolla, delicious sandwich

Kid-friendliness: Yes of course”

“This place is so good You most go there there ice cream is heaven and their razzels our out of this world the only problem is the wait time but otherwise great 👍

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly”

“Pretty good pizza.
Delicious pricing!
Ready quickly.
Nice concept.

Dietary restrictions: Not sure but pizza is probably not good for you if your on a diet.

Parking: It’s difficult to park due to the nature of a drive through.

Kid-friendliness: Pizza.

Wheelchair accessibility: I’m sure the drive through will be accepting seemed pretty chilled.”

“We have ordered twice now and the authentic flavors and generous portions will keep us coming back for more. Absolutely delicious food!!”

“The food is great! Pizza is always fresh and tasty. Though I'm very into good fries but unfortunately, these are the standard frozen ripple cut fries. So that's a bummer. Tend to avoid ordering such fries. I find the crispy and straight cut fries taste better. Vs those rippled cut fries which don't taste too good.

I love the ketchup pump/cups, which are easy for kids to dispense ketchup and be a big help when dining out.

Another thing I find interesting. When it comes to fountain soda. I get they charge you $3 or more for a fountain soda. Now, personally, if I had an eatery, that's the first thing I would change and follow the costco trend where they allow unlimited drink refill if you purchased the $0.65 cup. (Lol $0.65). But at least offer some type of refill idea. Even charging $.50, the customer has a cup, straw, and cover. So, all they are paying for is a tad of syrup that's being used.

Dietary restrictions: Kosher and non dairy options.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, the main level. Easy access for disabled.”

“Bacoli Pizza has some of the best food I’ve had in the entire Ocean County. Everything we’ve ever ordered was amazing and the service is just as great as the food! When we order takeout from here and have friends/family over, everyone comments on how delicious the food is. 11/10!!! must try”

“A hidden little place in a grocery store. The cook was super friendly and the food was awesome. I'll definitely be back to this little hidden gem. You can't go wrong. It's the real deal!”

“New owners are great Pizza hasn't taste this good in such a long time deliver and service if you haven't been there its worth a trip back give your self a chance to enjoy a good meal”

“Such awesome food and such quick service. From the time I got into the car until I was back in the car with my food was a total of 5 minutes if not less. They handed me the fries less than a minute after I ordered them and they were amazing! Definitely coming back soon.”
