“I absolutely love J&M bakery in Middletown, NJ! Their pastries are unmatched, and I can't imagine going anywhere else for baked goods. While I have respect for other local shops, J&M's pastries, especially the lobster tails, are to die for. The filling is divine, and you won't be disappointed. They are definitely a staple for my family on Sunday. And J&M's commitment to traditional Italian recipes and high-quality ingredients shines through in every bite. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by and taste the difference for yourself. J&M bakery is a true gem!“
“I experienced Aleos when they catered my company's holiday party a few weeks ago...... and I was hooked! And I am VERY picky with my Italian food. I just had to try it again, and decided for the first time in 20 years, to have someone else (Aleos) cater for my family on Christmas Day. They did not disappoint. Not only was their pick-up on Christmas Eve completely seamless, during the drive up, I encountered someone named Christine who was just so kind and outgoing. Her customer service, along with the great tasting food, went beyond anything I could ever imagine. THANK YOU Aleos for making my 2023 Christmas stress-free, and THANK YOU Christine for being so awesome!“
“We have been working at Shadowbrook since 2012 and it has been nothing short of amazing! Remember working there before the huge renovations and they did an excellent job! The food is great, the staff is probably the best we have ever worked with, and overall a Five Star wedding & event venue! Highly recommend them!“
“It was a pleasure working with Dave/ John’s Catering and Event Rentals! As we know it’s hard to feed many people while they are working and Dave was very professional, self sufficient, and got the job done seamlessly. Not the mention the food was extremely tasty and everyone was happy. Thanks again!“
“Etal is a top notch establishment in one of my favorite towns on shore - Highlands! Their new location is a huge upgrade that I stop by often for a quick bite and coffee, or many delicious grab & go options. The bar is great which overlooks a serene koi pond. Just a very warm, friendly, and relaxing place. The smashburger is amazing!“
“There are not enough words to describe how happy we were with Ultimate Caterer! We had our 200+ wedding at our farm and we knew bringing in food was going to be one of the harder things to work with. We envisioned having a never ending cocktail hour throughout the entire night and it was tough finding vendors to accommodate our vision and budget.I am so happy I found Alan! Alan offered exactly what we were looking for plus more! Throughout the entire night they had their staff walk around with trays of appetizers so our guests were able to eat whenever they wanted. Along with that, we had buffet stations for "dinner" time because there's no such thing as too much food! For dessert, they did the same thing and walked around with trays and went up to people to serve - this was amazing as majority of our guests stayed on the dance floor all night so they liked not needing to step away to grab a treat! Food was so amazing, our guests are still raving about it!Alan took great care of us the day of the wedding as well. My now husband and I were obviously so busy the day of the wedding so Alan kept coming up to us to bring us food and DRINKS!Since we had to outsource basically everything to accommodate a wedding in our backyard, we were able to get all rentals through Alan. This made the process so much easier for us because it was one less vendor we had to work with and Alan handled securing all the rentals we needed. All rentals looked exactly as pictured or even better!Alan was so kind throughout the entire process and made sure we were happy every step of the way. He was very responsive, especially with some urgent needs days before the wedding.I highly recommend Ultimate Caterer for any event!!“
“On this rainy and wet Wednesday after I was craving a burger so a friend had recommended coming to Grossman's as they had what they called a "really good burger". Upon examination of the photos online I agreed and ordered the cajun burger cooked medium with chips. This burger comes from the specialty menu.Upon arriving at the location I picked up my food and returned home. Upon opening the take out container I was met with a messy pile of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions pushed off to the side and my burger wrapped in foil.I unwrapped my burger expecting a nice sized patty and a burger leaking with juices, and I found a plain burger. The patty looked small. Upon my first bite i was expecting a juicy explosion of flavor, what I got was dry unflavored, unseasoned and overcooked burger.The burger did not have any "cajun" seasoning that i could taste. It was not cooked medium as I had requested. This was unfortunate as I was looking forward to trying this burger after hearing it had received high praise among the locals.The fries that came with this were crinkle cut in nature and were above average. While I am disappointed that this burger did not meet my expectations I will say other food I have had here has been good. Maybe today was a fluke.Unfortunately I do not recommend going here if you plan on taking out your burger. Hopefully they are better when ordered and eaten inside.I will say this is still a favorite for other foods! Such as deli sandwiches4/5 Stars“
“The food is consistent, more than enough to eat per tray, we order every holiday from Jacques to help soften the cooking time for our family and friends. Don't be shy to try new things! We are thrilled we've gone for many Foundation events to try new foods to order next.“

“I hired Marie for my husbands birthday last night. We had the best experience! She arrived on time and the courses were served based on the flow of the night. She cooked and cleaned everything, I did not have to think twice about anything! We were able to unwind and enjoy the night. Marie was personable and accommodated the food allergies we had in our party with ease and acceptance. I recommend Marie to anyone who wants to enjoy a good night with great food!! Thank you again for everything Marie!! ?“
“Apple Street Kitchen is a little, neighborhood gem. It’s slightly off the beaten track. After you discover it, I promise you’ll become a fan for life. They are known for using the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. They do try to refresh their menu every season. That way it stays current. Check them out if you’re looking for a cute breakfast or lunch place. They also have outdoor seating in their garden area in the warmer months.“
“The best breakfast sandwiches & the only local spot with poppy seed rolls! The owners are always friendly & chat with everyone while pumping orders out morning and afternoon. Great selection of snacks & drinks to go with your sandwich as well.“
“We had our daughter’s first birthday party there and it couldn’t have been more beautiful! From the time of booking to the end of the party, everything was perfect! I texted Dominique so many questions leading up to the party and she was so helpful and informative. Our maitre’d was wonderful the day of the party! The food was DELICIOUS!!! All of our guests complimented on how good the food was and how gorgeous the venue was! Everything was perfect! I am so glad we chose to celebrate our daughter’s birthday at Ariana’s South! Thank you guys! “
“My husband and I just celebrated our 50th birthdays there. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. All we had to do was come a little earlier and put out some decorations. They did all the cooking and clean up. We chose the outdoor picnic BBQ option Such a nice relaxing party where we we're able to really enjoy our guest.“
“DeMarco's staff and owner are so amazing, that they even began to feel like family. They answered all of my catering needs with professionalism and promptness to help me pull off a lot of great parties. I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs.“
“My boyfriend and I came for NYE. It was an AMAZING experience. Everyone was so attentive, kind, and personable! Food was phenomenal and the vibe was immaculate. Jace was extremely helpful through our whole experience. Overall, such a great time!“
“Great family-run spot in Little Silver- service is always fast and friendly. I've had it happen on a number of occasions that I will owe a small amount, say 25¢, and the cashier has waved me off with a "you're good, don't worry about it". I always make sure to drop extra in the tip jar while I'm there, because you really are treated like a friend at Grandma's!“
“Chef Covas Catering did our New Year's Eve wedding at the Long Branch Distillery - They were awesome! The food was fantastic and our point person Samantha was a pro! Lauren, Owner & Executive Chef, was very easy to work with in terms of planning the menu and offering suggestions - she clearly knows what she's doing and made my fiance' (now wife) very comfortable. All our requests were honored and the team was super-attentive and responsive during the event. They nailed the vibe we were looking for and our guests were extremely complimentary of their work. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking to cater an event.“
“I’ve been using Florentinos to cater my large parties for 20+ years. Whether they take care of the whole menu or provide us a few supplemental items, there food is always a delicious showstopper. We always get compliments from our guest and their staff is wonderful to work with!“
