“Excellent local restaurant in Howell. Anytime I am craving wings, this is my go to spot. The portions are solid and the food has always been great. Besides the wings, my family also enjoys the gyros and shrimp wrap. Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed.“

“So delicious! we ordered the gyros, fries, steak quesadilla and a cheese steak. everything was amazing. made special requests (no onions on this no sauce on that) every instruction was followed exactly and all items were clearly marked... definitely recommend“

“A fantastic family run Italian Restaurant with a nice atmosphere and consistently delicious food. Pizza is a classic, but when it comes to sandwiches I recommend the Montague (a breaded chicken and roasted pepper sandwich) and the meatball sub. All of the staff and the cooks are amicable and welcoming.

I recommend signing up for their benefits so that you can get discounts and coupons.

The restaurant has a decently sized menu and someone could likely find anything they want to eat.“

“great burgers and loved their sweet potato fries“

“best service. I had difficulty with the app for curbside pickup and the server was kind and helpful even with the 90+ temperatures“

“Food is always good. Spicy chicken sandwich is the best. No complaints about the service & the one guy (Ricky) serving tables is the best. He makes you feel at home n ensures he doesn’t leave your sight until your happy n have everything you need. Ricky made our late night dine-in rememberable so wanted to give credit where credit is due.“

“My favorite hamburger place! Great service and they are nothing but nice to my kids especially my autistic son! Their fries are amazing! Love the food here!“

“I can’t speak on the atmosphere but I can tell you about what I had
- Salmon Bento Box
- Miso Soup
- Shrimp Lo Mein
I ordered through DoorDash because the family I babysit for wanted that ordered for the kids , never heard of this place but was willingly to try
All the food was absolutely delish !!!!!
I was so suprised that everything has so much flavor ! I was on the fence before since I saw some of the negative reviews on Google after I had already ordered , seems like they’ve made some positive changes because our food was hot and very very delicious ! Completely different than some had said a year ago“

“I ate at the Monroe store today. I had never been at a Buubakoos before and did not know what to expect. I had the pork burrito and it was off the hook. The place was spotless and the service was spot on. The manager came over and introduced himself as John and asked if everything was satisfactory, and it was more than satisfactory. You would think John was the owner not just the manager, he cared as if was his own business. It was good to see that. I will be back for sure, my new go to place.“

“Very cold but we manage.
Can you also tell people to keep their hands from off the glass because it’s a sanitary issue. Nobody knows what is on anybody’s hands. Anything can fall off their hands and arms. Please let your employees be more on a watch out with this and this is not the first time.“

“Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy“

“A surf n turf with jalapeno cheese.... DELISH plus a chocolate shake and 30 pk ta go. everything is good but I love the Jalapeno burgers no ketchup with pickles.“

“Love the cauliflower and the modability for someone like me who doesn't eat meat. Love the new breakfast burrito!!! Everytime I go in my food is always ready quickly and everyone I have met who works here have been really really kind. Good service and much better then buying from some huge chain. The food being tasty and big portions is a bonus!“

“The food is always fresh but the enchilada sauce doesn't come as a side sauce. The recrnt male kids who work there seem extra rude and uncaring. One of them kept rudely staring at me. And another one dropped my change while I was paying through drive through, and didn't even care. He rudely turned his back on me. It’s amazing they hire careless, arrogant workers there.“

“Tucked in a corner of Walmart, the space is adequate for a good 20 min meal. Friendly staff. Usually has veggie patties and vegetarian options.
Every time I visit this store, I feel sure about the options I can get.

Vegetarian options: Veggie patties and other vegetables in the mix“

“Been a regular here for years. I know all of the staff, they are very friendly and respect/value their customers. The food is bangin, especially the chicken/tenders. By far the most competitive prices I've found on lava vapes. The owner is very friendly and thoughtful.“

“I ordered in store and ate in store. I was served a cold chalupa. I was really hungry and in a rush so I didn't send it back. Other than that food was okay standard Tacobell. Restaurant was clean and had a nice cashier.

Kid-friendliness: It's Taco Bell. Lids love tacos.amd the menu is fully customizable.“

“best service. I had difficulty with the app for curbside pickup and the server was kind and helpful even with the 90+ temperatures“

“Sunday, 8/27/23 1:15 pmWe are SO impressed with this BK, and we travel to BK's all over. Great, quick, friendly, helpful service at the register. Managed by a manager with incredible Hustle... running here, running there, giving customers' their orders while supporting his staff. Well done Old Bridge BK. Very well done.Cindi Weiss“

“One this particular day after passing by habit burger multiple times , I decided to walkin with a few of my family members( who were also unfamiliar with the restaraunt).I didnt know what to order but I saw a picture of grilled chicken salad near the register that peaked my interest. I spoke with the cashier and he informed us to take a seat and review the menu for a little while . After chatting with family and enjoying the air conditioning for a bit we decided to order. The nice young man at the register was so pleasant. He helped us with our orders and brought the food to the table when the food was ready. The prices are really affordable ( 7 dollars for a burger without french fries ) french fries are 4.99 extra , the salad was maybe 12 dollars. ( My family referred to the place as similar to the original Mcdonalds from the 1990s when food wasnt microwaved but cooked fresh for the day and had better quality)“

“Seriously the best customer service and food!!!“

“As a self-proclaimed pretzel enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wetzel's Pretzels at the Freehold Raceway Mall not once, but twice. On both occasions, I was blown away by the exceptional customer service and mouthwatering pretzels that left me craving more.During my first visit, I had the pleasure of being assisted by a gentleman named Ken. From the moment I walked up to the counter, Ken greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm. His passion for the product was evident as he guided me through the menu, offering recommendations and answering any questions I had. With Ken's help, I settled on a classic pretzel with a side of their signature cheese sauce.The pretzel itself was nothing short of perfection. The warm, soft dough was perfectly seasoned and baked to golden-brown perfection, while the cheese sauce added an extra layer of indulgence that left my taste buds tingling with delight. It was clear that each pretzel was made with care and attention to detail, resulting in a truly unforgettable snacking experience.Encouraged by my first visit, I returned to Wetzel's Pretzels a few days later, eager to indulge in another round of savory goodness. This time, I was greeted by a friendly employee named Charles. Like Ken, Charles exuded professionalism and hospitality, making me feel like a valued customer from the moment I walked in.Once again, the pretzels did not disappoint. Whether it was the classic salted pretzel or one of their tantalizing flavored options, each bite was a symphony of flavors that left me craving more. The quality of the pretzels combined with the exceptional customer service provided by Charles made for an experience that exceeded my expectations.In conclusion, my visits to Wetzel's Pretzels at the Freehold Raceway Mall were nothing short of delightful. From the warm greetings of Ken and Charles to the mouthwatering pretzels that left me wanting more, it's clear that this establishment takes pride in providing top-notch service and delicious snacks. If you find yourself in need of a tasty treat, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Wetzel's Pretzels—you won't be disappointed.“

“Get rid of the kiosks. They're NOT a "feature" for customers, their presence in fast food restaurants deters me from patronizing them. It takes longer for me to order, they are frustrating, and they detract any social contact with otherwise helpful staff like those found at this restaurant. Smart owners should get rid of them and advertise such. Try it shut them down and advertise it with signs... See if the business increases.“

“I want to start off by saying I would give them 6 stars if I could.

I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger and Cajun Fries. That Bacon Cheeseburger was absolutely delectable. The Bacon was crispy. the patty was juicy, and the sauces were fantastic. Here are my go-to toppings if you want help deciding: Mayo, Ketchup, A1 Sauce, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, Jalapeños, Green Peppers, Grilled Mushrooms, and Grilled Onions. Their Fries are very filling and their seasoning is fantastic, though they aren't crispy if that's what you're expecting.

The employees are always friendly and helpful and the food is consistently great. I always tip the employees because they go the extra mile when preparing your food. I've eaten burgers that cost 2 to 3 times as much that I'd take Five Guys over. Five Guys isn't cheap, but it's 1000% worth the money.“

“Usually I don't review, but hands down had one of the best Steak Stromboli last night. so delicious! Was very generous & tasty. Great jobs guys! Keep up that consistency & I will always come back. Definitely a must try, if you love Steak Stombolis.“

“friendly staffing fast service delicious food“

“The staff is very friendly and made us feel welcome“

“Some of the nicest people I have ever dealt with in that kind of industry. Great job.“

“Thanks for an amazing birthday party. You made it so easy.“

“Tried two different establishments on a Saturday last weekend, both were a bust; so we settled on this Taco Bell. The restrooms were fantastically clean, behind a locked door; you ask cashier to enter. Food was presented as if corporate was showing new hires how to make with perfect presentation. Courteous staff, efficient wait times, high quality food and a clean and smell free restaurant. Best BEST Taco Bell experience in a number of years. If your choosing a Bell for its quality this is the one! Thanks for making our roadtrip dinner better than could be expected. If in Jersey we’ll be back.“

“Best McDonalds in my area. Other reviews are probably from people with complicated orders that they pick up through the drive thru.
Guys, if you have a big order, order inside lol. That allows them be patient in putting your order together.

For me, food is always consistent and the staff here has always been super sweet and accommodating to me. On the bag I get it says this store is locally-owned, so I just want to give props to the franchise owners for doing a good job hiring great staff.
I've had interactions with what I assume to be two of this store's managers and, like I said previously, always super accommodating and friendly. Thank you guys so much!!!!“

“I like the four for four meal deal. The place is really nice.“

“Shake Shack is great, the hamburgers & fries are delicious. My only complaint is the way the hamburgers are packaged, the paper they come in gets so soggy and sticks to the back of the sandwich getting stuck to the bun & cheese. Other than that minor note it’s a great place! Prices are also a bit high for the product.“

“Definitely miss the 2000 era burgers

Vegetarian options: Salad and mix and match

Parking: Big parking

Kid-friendliness: Frosty

Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance ready“

“I enjoyed my trip as usual.Great service,great food.“

“We stopped there after the Scout Camporee at Six flags. They gave the Scouts cookies. Which made their day. Thank you!!“

“It was takeout. The service was very efficient and a very pleasant server. Food was delicious, generous (lots of chunks of grilled chicken) and economical.

Dietary restrictions: My tacos had grilled chicken and healthy salsa.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance and all the other accommodations were more than adequate.“

“We love to go there.their service is super good and yummy Icecream 🍦“

“Store Manager Sebastian gets it!! and a big Win for his staff!!. No really!! not only up to the moment real time assistant without hesitation. Each time I come here it feels like the experience is getting better and better. Big W!! For the Excellent and irreplaceable staff who work at BK Monmouth rd. Creamridge nj“

“08/14/25 @ 6:45pm. Anthony, the shift leader, was very helpful and took care of us with a smile. He was quick and knew what he was doing. He spoke to my child and not to us when asking what she wanted. I respect that. The food was done perfectly and quickly. Will definitely be coming back.“

“Very good service, and the manager there is amazing, Appreciate all their hard work. For those complaining about waiting in line too long, cook burgers at home. For those complaining about getting the wrong order, get off your boss (cell phone) go inside and speak to an employee respectfully and they will accommodate you. Great location and thank you to all who work there.“

“This was my first experience here. I am struggling to review as the food was good, the staff was working hard, but it was very chaotic and despite all the staff working hard, they couldn't keep up. And, they don't have any napkins. I'm all about the environment but why no napkins but have plastic straws???“
