“Awesome terrific food no doubt 100pct. People like Soria are the best in the business..but but but Jesus Mary&Joseph omg when u call there and whoever might pickup the phone all you hear is an enormous background noise like I'm in Las Vegas. That must stop. Not at all professional not in the least. Move the woman who answers the phone to a separate non loud room. Not close to acceptable. I couldn't hear myself placing my order“

“Cute and quaint atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food is absolutely delicious! Chicken vindaloo and chicken Tikka masala. Also some spicy chili garlic Naan, butter Naan and roti. Flavorful and good portion sizes. They could stand to give a little more rice with the entree, but that doesn't take away from the quality and enjoyment of the dishes. Can't wait to return to try other menu options.“

“We had an amazing experience at Mason’s Lobster Roll! The lobster and crab rolls were both absolutely delicious — perfectly fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The warm, buttery rolls and generous seafood portions made for an unforgettable meal.

What truly made our visit stand out, though, was the outstanding service. Our hostess, Anna, was exceptional — welcoming, attentive, and incredibly friendly. She made us feel right at home and added a personal touch that made the experience even more special.

If you’re a fan of seafood or just looking for a great place to enjoy top-tier rolls and fantastic service, Mason’s is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!“

The food was great and they were very helpful getting us fed and out of there in plenty of time for our concert. If we ever find ourselves in the area again, we'll stop by for sure.“

“We’ve been going to Illiano’s nearly 36 years. It’s been great since day 1. We usually do takeout and find the pizza, subs and garlic knots to be the best in Monmouth County. When we moved out of town about 3 years ago we tried to find something that was comparable and closer, but that didn’t work out so make the trip back just about every Friday night. We highly recommend them!“

He and the staff made my wife feel extra special! The food was what I was expecting, given all the reviews from friends, authentic and delicious! Everything from the appetizers, main courses, desert....exceptional. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely outstanding!! Great atmosphere, great service, and fantastic food from appetizers to entrees to desserts! Have been to the original in Brooklyn many times over the years but this was our first time at Gargiulo’s in Tinton Falls and it did not disappoint. Spoke to Theresa at the end of the night and she was very welcoming and sweet. We will DEFINITELY be back! Not one negative thing to say about the entire experience.“
