“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.“

“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.“

“The sushi and fried rice were so good. The soup was so hot. The food tasted savory and fresh. Quick, mindful service.“

“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.“

“Best cafe in the area! Delicious baked good and the breakfast board is excellent! I want to eat everything when I go! Only open on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) so plan your visit!“

“They catered a back yard bbq I was at and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Our favorite date night spot!! From the moment you enter- elegant atmosphere, warm faces and nice music set the tone for a wonderful night. Anthony the owner makes you feel like you’re the only diners there- making sure you’re enjoying yourself, getting your food in a timely manner and making it special. He is such a kind generous man. The servers Faith, Carson, and JoJo are absolutely incredible- they are knowledgeable about the food, friendly, and their work ethic is incredible for such young people. They truly made our night special! The food is the star- best rice balls we’ve ever had!! We have been dreaming of them ever since! The homemade burrata, meatballs and eggplant were also just amazing. We had the homemade gnocchi and chicken scarpiello- again the best we’ve ever had We are locals and try to get here as often as we can for date night- and we are always so amazed how it continues to be just 5 star every time. It’s a special, special place and we are lucky to have such a gem in our small town. Thank you Anthony & Heather!“

“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.“

“Very delicious food! And the people are very kinds. Very clean always. Definitely recomend.“

“Went with 5 couples…party of 10! All the appetizers, meals and drinks were great. Very good service…would definitely go back!“

“I hate to say this, but the last two times we went here the service was slow. Very slow. To be clear, the wait staff was not the issue and they were very apologetic. No, both times the kitchen was super slow. In one instance, we sat down at 6:00 p.m. and did not eat until 8:00 p.m. Food is still excellent but they need to do something about what's happening in the kitchen.“

“food was delicious, serving e was superb“

“great good and service will back back for more“

“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.“

“AWESOME, SERVICE GREAT! PRICES RIGHT ON!“

“Absolutely the best burger period!! Great fries and drinks! MILKSHAKES Yum!!“

“Heart Of Europe jest jednym z najlepszych polskich sklepow w Middlesex County. Serwowane sa tam bardzo dobre polskie gorace posilki I desery. Mozna tam kupic bardzo dobre wedliny, sery , swieze pieczywo, ciasta, paczki i wiele innych dobrych produktow. Obsluga jest bardzo mila, szybka i wesola. Nawet jak masz gorszy dzien i robisz zakupy w Heart Of Europe to wychodzisz ze sklepu zadowolony i rozweselony. Twoj dzien wyglada lepiej dzieki wesolemu personelowi sklepu. Polecam wszystkim te polskie delikatesy. Dostaja 100 %.“

“Besides the awesome food they have the best service of anywhere. We often travel over an hour to go there.“

“First time trying The Halal Spot and we loved it! The food was super tasty, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and made us feel really welcome. The place is clean and has a nice vibe too.
Definitely coming back - highly recommend“

“The food is outstanding! The owners are the warmest and kindest people! The restaurant is professional, serving high quality food and reasonably priced! Love me some Pat d’s! Shout out to the exceptional counter help!“

“What a delicious meal we had! My friend has been many times. My first, but not the last! We had Lamb and Shrimp, with delicious sides🍀“

“I could not even count on 5 hands how many times I have been to THIS specific playa bowls in just the past month. It is my go-to spot simply because of the food, atmosphere, and staff. My go to is the Nutella bowl, however, I do dabble in other menu items such as the booster bowl for a great intake of protein and a good balance. My journey does not stop there though because in addition to my bowl I also grab protein bites for a quick snack later in the day. These fuel me for HOURS on end and I can't get enough of them. I would LOVE to be buried in a basket of these things. For events and office parties, I order their catering packages. Normally catering is too expensive for what you get but not here! The price for food was incredible and a huge hit at all the parties and events. The staff is honestly the best part of the place because they are incredible. They are always so helping and friendly and never fail to make my kids smile. The manager obviously has been hands on because they are AYYYYYMAZING!

Kid-friendliness: The staff was extremely friendly and even would talk to my kids regardless of them working. They would pop in and out between work and conversations just to make my kids feel welcomed. They showed them all the games that they had in store and even showed them how to play!“

“Always get a good breakfast or lunch here. Food never disappoints.“

“I have been there a few times. the brisket is good. the brisket is good.“

“Everything we order from Romeo’s is top shelf! Sunday we ordered the new items copper sharp cheesesteak and hot roast beef sandwiches…and can’t forget the disco fries! Delicious as usual! P.S. the large tray of cavatelli with sausage and broccoli rabe that we ordered last week to bring to my brother in laws was a big hit too!“

“Delicious food, wonderful staff and great music.“

“Papa Ganache is by far my favorite gluten-free bakery/eatery in NJ. They are so beyond accommodating and the food tastes too good to be real! They did my wedding cake too! Highly recommend.“

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

“We had visited Lemon for a special family celebration. Steve, Chef Ash and the entire team were absolutely amazing and hospitable. Service was great; food was delicious. A good times had by everyone. Thank you, Lemon!“

“Really good food and great atmosphere. The Istanbul Combination was delicious perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and very filling. You can tell the chefs know their craft. Staff was friendly and welcoming, service was smooth, and everything came out fresh. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend.“

“This particular bubbakoos hit many marks that a lot of the other franchises tend to miss nowadays. It brings me back to the original efficient 1st two when bubbakoos first hit the scene by the beach. We will drive a extra 10mins everytime for quality where the others closer to us fall short. Steak and shrimp was fresh and not over cooked. I hope they keep it up!“

“Taqueria María @ Jamesburg NJ Fresh taste Fresh food Great service I JUST LOVE IT“

“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.“

“Absolutely awesome. I would highly recommend this place“

“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“

“My grandchildren love this place so my son took us at there at 5 minutes before closing at 5 pm. They were nice enough to let us in. We got Bavarian Cream and Chocolates S’mores. Delicious!! Very unique and tasty donuts with friendly and smiling staff. My grandchildren have great taste!!“

“Great food. Decently priced. Friendly staff.“

“Great service, friendly staff and wonderful food. The chicken cheesesteak, the chicken marsala, and the chicken francaise were all delicious. In the past we've also bought a number of different gourmet pizzas, every one of which was very, very good.“
