50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Monmouth Beach

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“I searched for a restaurant in Asbury that offered vegan, gluten free options and came across Reyla’s. I’m so happy I found this gem! I truly appreciate the thought that went in to create these dishes. Most restaurants don’t put much thought into offerings for people with dietary restrictions. There was something for everyone in our party. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with an amazing flavor profile and presentation. We all loved each dish including dessert. Jules was our delightful server who was attentive, professional and great at her job.“

The samosas or large and hot and very tasty. I had the chicken korma delicious and savory. As you know we had to take a doggy bag because we were unable to finish our meal. The atmosphere was very friendly and another couple who was seated next to our table would not stop talking about how delicious the food was.
Thank you for making our Asbury Park experience a memorable one.“

“Wow the pizza was amazing. Love the thin crust, the sauce was good. Just yummy. Next time I’d only order just pepperoni cause the bacon was just ok. We ordered an appetizer of fried ravioli (skip appetizers, just get pizza. Trust me) the vibes of the place were great after a day in the ocean.“

While I can’t speak to the other cuisines I have learned over time that her heart is in every dish. The doro wot is top! (Well it all is). The AP location is lovely. I can’t wait to go back, and that is coming from a Californian.“

“it has been awhile since I was in Atlantic Highlands when JUS was still open. I am so glad that I was able to stop in today. The Chia pudding was always a favorite.

And sorry, no photo because it was eaten before I wrote this! Yum!“

“Been to most of the Thai places throughout Monmouth county and this one is by far the best!

Siam duck is incredible. So are all the appetizers and pretty much everything else on the menu. Highly recommend this place. People that work there are so nice and friendly“

“My friends and I stopped at this BWW location after a long beach day, and we had the most amazing time! The restaurant was more than accommodating for our group of 13 people, and all the staff were so friendly. Rosa was our server and she was the kindest, and most genuine person we have ever met. She checked in on us many times, and was so nice to chat with. She clearly loves her job, and you can't help but smile when talking to her. All the food was delicious, and they got every order perfect. We had the best time at this BWW and will definitely be back to visit Rosa!“

I just had my daughter’s baptism lunch at Fresh and along with every single guest we had I could not be more happy with the food, service,hospitality and accommodations! The food was delicious! So fresh and made with passion. The chef knows what he’s doing. The 2 men that hosted for us were beyond professional, patient and friendly to us and our guests. Every step of the way from planning to finish they were amazing! After we got home I had so many people reaching out to me about how good this place is and how they will definitely be returning for dinner in the near future. Thank you all so much for helping make this day stress free and most importantly SPECIAL!“

“Been a customer for twenty years. Solid BYOB Italian restaurant with a veteran staff. Owner and general manager are always present. Ownership changed 9 years ago. Very good fresh pastas. I’m totally a fan of their main marinara sauce. Sometimes I’ve asked for it on the side. My wife and I have liked the seafood pasta panadora. I tend to order a lot of salads and I’ve tried most of them. My favorite is their chopped salad ($18). Sometimes I get it with the chicken option. I really like their own salad dressing. It’s a little different. The Greek salad is really good too. The braised slow cook short ribs are very popular; a long time specialty item. Their lunch menu is very reasonable. Surprisingly good burgers and sandwiches. I’m particularly a fan of their tuna sandwich, with several variations. I have found the service to always be excellent. I noticed their bread has been outstanding. Owner said they invested in a new ovens from Italy✅ Their homemade carrot cake is excellent, and I’m fussy when it comes to carrot cake, my favorite😀 Great location in downtown Red Bank on Wallace Street, which is not busy. There is municipal parking nearby. Keep in mind you generally have to pay in Red Bank unless you’re willing to walk a bit. Also, a special mention goes out to special events. They’re particularly good at parties. They scale well to what the needs of the event. It can be simple to full sit-down dinner or buffet.“

“First time to the restaurant last night and we loved everything! Had pork dumplings, spaghetti with clams and the crab cakes. Great service too! We will be back 😀👍🏼“

“Want a great beer with great people? Carton Brewery in Atlantic Highlands is the place for you. I was there last night to help them celebrate their 15 Anniversary. I’m not a big Tap room person but I was surprised to spend the evening with a community of people that get together for good beer and good friends and good conversation. At Carton you’ll find twenty, thirty…. seventy something people who want to spend time with friends and enjoy a great beer.“

“Absolutely delicious pizza and garlic knots!!! I’m from PA and had a whole 2.5 hour drive ahead of me that this pizza fueled, not every pizza spot knows how to do a good meat lovers pizza but man I couldn’t wait to get home to give the review on how good this pizza was! I will definitely be back!!! 💯“
