The student favorite part of the soul Kitchen experience is of course the delicious food made by Chef Emily and her staff.

“I came in for The Big Meal Deal the other night. I was seated in no time at all with a great view of the big screen TV. Minutes later a young lady named Maddy came over and introduced herself and asked if I would like to order a beverage. I ordered my beverage and my meal at the same time . Maddy then inquired if I would be interested in an appetizer. I do like buffalo wings so I ordered them as a starter. My beverage was delivered to my table very quickly by Maddy. She returned with the buffalo wings at almost an unbelievable short wait, I was offered ranch and bleu cheese for dipping and wet naps and napkins for my hands. To my surprise my bacon cheese burger came out exactly as ordered medium rare. (Nice Tender And Juicy) I expect to return to the Middletown Applebee`s in the very near future. I will be asking to be seated in Maddy`s section and I suggest you do the same. Maddy is very professional and treats you with a fun, friendly, attentive and respectful personality !!!“

“The best! Great food and service. They are always taking extra steps to make sure we are satisfied“

“Was there after the lunch crowd today 2/1/22. The place was spotless, the restroom was also. Excellent choice of burgers and sandwiches. My wife and I both had burgers and we both agreed they were the best we have had in at least 20 yrs. Grade A meat and the french fries were freshly cut and fried. Can't wait to get back. If you are a movie buff like me you will love the decor. The service was great also.“

“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!“

“Words aren’t enough to describe this remarkable and outstanding restaurant. From the service to the food everything was just perfect. One small suggestion, please expand the kids menu. I was with my family and my eight and eleven years old children. Aside from that everything was just beautiful.“

“fune dining at its best! friendly staff. we just love it“

“I’m an out of town truck driver delivering up the street and decided to walk down to Sunset Diner. I was absolutely please. Fresh food and lots of it and reasonable prices. Definitely would come back if I get back through this way.“

“Elli’s backyard is a fabulous brunch and dinner spot with EXCELLENT service. We fell in love with the food and atmosphere of the place on New Year’s Day. We had an excellent brunch there and asked if they hosted bigger parties. This weekend we celebrated my 30th birthday there and they couldn’t be more accommodating. We had 25 people and they moved the tables so that we were all sitting together. They also added special touches like a champagne cart (it’s BYOB so we brought our own champagne but they decorated the cart nicely for us and put out pitches of orange juice), chalkboard birthday signs on the table, and bringing our complimentary dessert with a fun firecracker when it was time to sing. They allowed us to bring in additional decorations and cupcakes for dessert. They had 3-4 servers waiting on us who couldn’t have been sweeter. The owner, Patrick, checked in with us throughout our brunch to make sure everything was perfect. The service was above and beyond! And the FOOD! The food was SO delicious! Everyone was SO happy with what they ordered! Delicious menu items that are large portions and creatively plated. They allowed us to take our time and catch up with everyone at our party and did not rush us out. We couldn’t recommend Elli’s backyard more! We thank Patrick and his workers so much for making my birthday extra special! We highly recommend to everyone and can’t wait to come back!“

“Awesome food! My Maui Sliders were the BEST! Tater Tots with Cheese were so good as well!“

“Me and my sister-in-law‘s tried this place after a spa day. What a great choice the atmosphere was great. I love the decor. Our server was super friendly and suggestive. They had so many good choices for lunch. We tried the turkey cranberry melt and chicken salad wrap. We also tried the fried goat cheese balls so delicious. I tried the soup which I wish was a little heartier but was good. we really enjoyed our meal. I definitely recommend giving this place a try.“

“Delicious meal from start to finish! Don’t skip dessert ?“

“If I tell you how wonderful the place, the people, the plates are will you promise not to go? It’s hard enough snagging a reservation without hoards of people trying to book a table after reading justifiably rave reviews. OK, here goes. Agnolotti pasta and sweet potato hush puppies as appetizers to start and oh, what a start it was. Monk fish and a bacon-jam encrusted pork chop, both cooked to perfection, as entrees. Lemon tart and a you-gotta-try-it-once-in-your-life “budino,” for dessert. (Do you know stressed spelled backwards is desserts?) What’s a budino you ask? Adult pudding, whipped by angels, so addictive it must have been created by Satan. Farm to Table, fresh, sustainable, local, tucked away on a side street in Red Bank… and you get to bring your own favorite wine. Don’t go. Don’t tell your friends. Let this gem be all mine.“

“Nothing fancy, but excellent food and service with a smile …. One of my favorites.“

“I love this place. Great food, people, clean, friendly. Good vibe. Good music.“

“Stayed overnight for a one day work trip. After a 51/2 hour drive the last thing I wanted to do was drive anywhere for dinner ( didn’t want food in take out containers either) sat at the bar, had a Caesar salad and pasta primavera, added salmon.
The salmon was perfectly cooked as ordered ( medium rare) and it was excellent! A bit pricey, but excellent food and service!“

“Great food, drinks and great service. great atmosphere.“

“The food was delicious, featuring an assortment of teas and coffee options. I enjoyed the Huevos Ranchero bowl, and we also shared the Great Pumpkin Pancake special, which was truly outstanding. Although this is not my first visit, I can confidently say that I have never had a bad experience here. The quality of the food is complemented by excellent service, an appealing menu, and a pleasant atmosphere.“

“Our waiter James was amazing. Very personable. The food was delicious. I can’t wait to go back again“

“Everyone there is awesome and I trust them with anything they make me. My family has been coming here since they opened and all of them are family to me. You know it’s trust when you walk in and tell Anthony, make me whatever you want. Never fails and it’s always amazing.“

“Went there with a party of 11. Everyone ordered something different and everyone's meal was excellent. And, the staff was extremely friendly and made everyone feel welcome. Wonderful experience.“

“Went to the Mothers Day Brunch OMG what a delicious brunch !!!“

“good food good music good people!“

“Most relaxing place to dine.pancakes fantastic. Great coffee. Great people come to eat & relax.“

“Breakfast and lunch....Excellent. Friday night special dinner menu an added bonus. Along with live music...a Must Do! Roger on the guitar! I will be back.“

“I went to the Robinson Ale House on June 29, 2024. Service was excellent. The waitress was wonderful. My husband and I had lunch. I had a T-bone steak special , he had meatloaf. They were excellent. We had key lime pie for dessert. Really good too. We were seated outside on the side because we needed shade. Planning another trip in August. I can’t wait to try the Drunken Clams this time if it’s still on their menu. I hope I get the same waitress. If they still have the T-bone on their daily special I recommend you get that. I had mine medium rare. Quite pricey but well worth it. The rest of the menu is moderately priced. Good generous sized portions. Definitely recommend. 5 stars“

“food was great. service the best. ambience pleasant loved this place.“

“I highly recommend 801 Craft! From the food to the staff to the atmosphere, dining here is a most enjoyable experience. Eating out can be a challenge for me because of my many food sensitivities and I really appreciate the staff and the chef being willing to accommodate me. The cocktails are tasty as well!“

“Great food , excellent staff“

“Very friendly server Hailey. Prompt with all requests. Made it easy to use our pre purchased coupon as a part of a play package. Delicious empanada appetizer and Poke Bowl entree!!!“

“My husband just stopped and got a PIG OUT Ribs , brisket , pulled pork+chicken, So much food will be having it for 2 more meals. Excellent smoke, ribs melt in your mouth, Hushpuppies like crunchy little bites of Southern Sunshine...the coleslaw fresh and the Cornbread should be listed inder deserts it's so sweet and moist. I would give them 7 stars if possible.“

“I was here for a show next door at House of Independents. Stopped in, had a really nice pint and a pizza, killed time waiting. Great staff, place was busy. Recommended!“

“if you want food that doesn't have junky additives, this is your store. Unlike other places that sell rotisserie chickens that are injected with sugary additives, the ones here are organic and have no unhealthy things added. Their bread is fresh. The choices in items are healthy. the only negatives about the store are 1) high prices and 2) some of the produce is old. We buy our produce at farms during seasonal bounty or else we buy it at Foodtown.“

“my husband and I have been coming to mjs for years whether it's for a lunch date or dinner with our kids MJS never disappoints. the food is always on point, no matter what we get it is always delicious. a few top favorites chicken Italiano sandwich, their homemade thousand island dressing for salads is out of this world, french dip is the best i've ever had. ahi tuna app to dye for! if ur lucky enough to get Emma as your server or Bartender you will not be disappointed she is always so personable attentive knows the menu really well and makes a mean expresso martini! she treats our kids like gold and keeps them entertained. Mjs is a well oiled machine run by the best manager I've ever seen. Dyan's attention to detail and making the place feel so welcoming and having everything that comes out of the kitchen on point she makes sure the servers and bartenders are very well trained. if she's there working she is always there greeting the guests and helping the staff make sure every guest has an amazing experience.She will also help you throw a sweet party and works with you to keep the price within your budget while giving you the best bang for your buck. she does an amazing job transforming the dining area into a great party space. I've had my son's christening, baby shower, birthday parties here in the dining room each time Dyan has gone above and beyond making sure everything was perfect. whether you are considering having a party or going to dinner or lunch do not pass MJS in Middletown up you will not regret it. & if you want a fun night out- Monday night bingo is always a hit or looking for something to do during NFL Sunday game day head to mjs it is an amazing atmosphere and great specials!“

“This was a takeout order. Food is always good. Great service. Got the chicken parm pizza and boneless garlic chicken wings. Will go back again for sure.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get inside with a wheelchair and plenty of tables to sit at that are wheelchair accessible.“
