“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Loft Steakhouse last night! We came with a group of 12 and rented the private room. Everything was outstanding, from the appetizers to the steaks. The food was incredible across the board!

A special shoutout to Moishy, the manager, who was next-level accommodating. His hospitality, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire evening that much better.

Amazing food, incredible service, and a great experience all around. Highly recommend The Loft! We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

Like a vintage wine, like a very tasty aged wine, Like a fine custom suit, like first class on a cruise to Italy to place cannot be beaten in any way shape or form. You will be very happy with all they have to to offer you and your guests, you and your kids, you and your colleagues.

“Great food , friendly atmosphere“

“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

Parking: I had a pulled brisket sandwich with pastrami fried rice.

Wheelchair accessibility: I used a walker and had no problems.“

“One if the best pizza spots in lakewood area pizza itself is delicious and the service is very efficient. Even on a motzie shabbos with 30 orders happening at the same time there isn't yelling from or at the staff. There is a oder kiosk but most people seem to like ordering directly from the register wait time can be long if the place is packed but you see them hustling consistently so you know they'll get to you i had to wait 10 min roughly which isn't to bad especially for a large order. They have a sourdough option for pizzas, ice cream milkshake.......... all in all 9/10 store“

“Great place.
Yummy sweet chicken fingers and buffalo fingers. The chicken soup is pretty solid. Deli roll is very good as well as the egg rolls. They give you a monster sized fries love that.
Best thing is how late their open you can get food until 2 or later some motzie shabbosim and motzie peasach.

Vegetarian options: This is not a place for vegetarians only meat eaters.

Dietary restrictions: They have lettuce.

Parking: Parking is a disaster

Kid-friendliness: 12+

Wheelchair accessibility: Not great“

“I ordered the fettucine alfredo which was at once creamy, buttery and silken. The sauce was not cheesy-thick as some alfredos are, but light and yet rich in taste. Someone at another table ordered French toast, and boy did that smell good.And the other dishes other people were getting also looked delicious. Average pizza for average kosher prices in Lakewood. Sandwiches and salads are also available. There is nothing about this place that stands out (for good or for bad). The area is heavily commercial so parking can be tricky as well as commuting during busy hours.“

“Our golf group decided on the Southside deli as our lunch venue before our tee time at Lakewood CC. Don't be fooled the uninspiring curb appeal, this was a great choice! I had a delicious pastrami sandwich on fresh rye bread with cole slaw which was absolutely delicious! I will be back to try their kosher BBQ and smoked meats, plus other sandwiches and burgers.“

“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.“

“Mom and I had nicely cooked grilled salmon and 3 cooked vegetable side dishes including cauliflower, green beans and roasted veggies. All were excellent. We also had some coffee drinks and these were competently made. The service was friendly and courteous and they threw in the rhirs vegetable even though the plate came with only two. The desserts looked delicious although we didnt indulge this time. The atmosphere was pleasant and the bathrooms were clean.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Yummy fresh food.
The service from the kiosk was unbelievable no attitude at all.
Huge menu, if your indecisive good luck!
I love getting the crispy schnitzel in a laffa and they cut the laffa in half if you want so you can eat like a mentch.
They toast the baguettes like your supposed to.
Not sure if they still give free Cholent with your order on Thursday nights but used to love going for that.

Vegetarian options: Salad.

Dietary restrictions: If you stick to the veggies.

Parking: Always spots available.

Kid-friendliness: Hot dogs.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“So many freshly-baked items, I had a hard time choosing. My students were thrilled that I went out of my way to shop here. While I bought 4 different items, I needed to get triple the amount of black and white cookies. I know now for next time. So many compliments and thank yous as students picked some of each item.“

“best food in lakewood“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Love the gf pizza!

Dietary restrictions: I've had their gf pizza a couple times, and it's one of the better kinds I've found. Plus I've never gotten sick from it, so they must be careful about cross contamination over there.“

“If you’re in Lakewood and you have even a drop of a sweet tooth, Gelbstein’s is basically a ניסיונות station. You walk in “just to look,” and two minutes later you’re leaving with a box, a bag, and a third thing you don’t remember agreeing to… because the smell of fresh pastry makes you sign away your free will. 😄
First of all, everything is fresh. Not “fresh-ish.” I mean fresh fresh — like the danishes are still warm and the crumbs are already following you home. The rugelach/danish vibe is top-tier, the pastries are flaky in a way that makes you whisper “וואו” without realizing, and the challah is the kind that turns a regular Shabbos table into a whole simcha.
And it’s not just the classics — they’ve got fun stuff too (those cute cupcakes and seasonal things), so it’s perfect when you need:
a quick treat for the car (aka: “for later”),
something respectable to bring to a vort/Sheva Brachos,
or a Shabbos dessert that looks like you put in effort (בלי עין הרע).
Also, the place has a very heimish, local feel — you’ll bump into half of Lakewood in there, all pretending they’re “only buying one thing.” Sure. We all believe you.
Bottom line: delicious, consistent, and dangerous in the best way.
Highly recommend — just don’t come in hungry unless you’re okay with your wallet doing teshuvah afterward. 😄“

“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“
