“Just ordered for the first time to surprise my wife . She is extremely happy . The nox. Tail tofu platter and jerk Tofu are amazing all the sides were great and the portions are perfect !! Thank you ! We will be back“

“This place is amazing. The food was incredible the cashier was really helpful and upbeat she never stopped smiling even when it started to get hectic with a lot of people coming in. So glad to have vegan options that are actually good.“

“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.“

“Ordered the avocado BLT and it was delicious! Homemade coconut bacon? Yes please.“

“The food was great, the atmosphere was excellent. Next time I'm back east, I'll be eating here again.“

“Soul Kitchen is amazing! Our students love working with the great staff and always feel welcome and learn great skills and life lessons. The student favorite part of the soul Kitchen experience is of course the delicious food made by Chef Emily and her staff. The Matawan Regional staff and students want to thank Bon Jovi and all his supporters for a great experience and relationship!“

“The best vegan, gluten free ice cream and baked goods in NJ! It’s a safe space for a child or person with allergies to sit and eat a delicious treat. Every one will enjoy the ice cream!!! The owners are always friendly and welcoming.“

“I REALLY want to give this place a 5. The ambience, decor, vibes, workers, etc are all so wonderful. They have a shelf of free needs. They have awesome movies playing, tons of board games, and a million other cool things..In general, I love everything about this place...except the food - this does not count the bakery stuff, which are all yummy and scrumptious.

I've been there 3 times now, though, and the food has ranged from mid to miss, which is really unfortunate. There's just too many elite vegan places around the area as well, so I generally don't choose this place as a 1st option.

So, I'd say if you're looking for a treat and some coffee and a place to hang, this place is unbeatable. If you're looking for a vegan meal up to par with this area, I can't honestly reccomend it.“

“I can’t thank the staff at B2 bistro point pleasant for making my daughters wedding shower absolutely perfect. The service attention to detail food and bar service was exceptional! Samantha the coordinator was amazing!!!“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Kristin was amazing!“

“Smores ice cream was 10/10 and Patrick had great customer service 🍦“

“This was my first time trying Korean food and I was not disappointed. It was worth every dollar, and I cannot wait to come back here.t The bulgingi bowl was so flavorful and they kept bringing out more and more food for us to try. The man cooking the food was so nice and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food. I highly recommend anyone looking to try something new for lunch/dinner to do this, or trying to not spend too much while in Asbury. Will be going back again!“

“I haven't been inside in quite awhile, but I've had the food recently, & it was just as great as I remembered it!“

“Absolute BEST Indian food in the area! Super freshly cooked and the food is so aromatic. We had the chicken tikka masala and goat karahi - both were super flavorful and the meat is very tender. The sauce also doesn’t taste sweet like some Indian food tends to make their masala. The naan bread was also amazing! The portions are decent and we had plenty plus leftovers. Singh was very kind and attentive to us! Will definitely be back.“

“Really great sushi and perfect service!“

“Polite, friendly service. Clean, inviting environment. Fun music ( not too loud for 8 am). Good, quick food. Hot coffee (and HOT SYRUP!). No disdain that I was paying with a gift card for 2 free meals, and taking 1 togo- super accommodating and bonus points bc that's not a great table to get on a Sunday morning. kudos Joshua 😊“

“The Apple Pie Ice Cream was the best ìce cream I have ever tasted.“

“Great experience at Rosie’s. Friendly staff, clean and pleasant seating area. The pizza tastes fresh and simple. We ordered a round plain pie and a square plain pie—the square was especially delicious, with very light, flavorful dough. Would definitely come back.“

“Food was excellent and great service“

“Drove down from Bergen County the other day. Let me tell you, it was worth the trip. The coffee cake just melts in your mouth. Many other delights in this bakery. The brownies looked amazing. They also have a nice selection of gluten free items“

“I have been going to Ada’s for probably close to a decade if not longer. I am familiar with Ethiopian cuisine and she truly delivers every time. 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.“

“Came in for breakfast. Anthony was my server and he was great. He was Knowledgeable and accommodated my dietary needs. He checked in from time to time and I will request him when I return. The food was fresh and prepared well and was nicely presented.“

“When it comes to bagel places around Brick, you won’t find any more delicious and filling than Baron’s Bagels. They have a huge selection of bagels, spreads and toppings to choose from that it’s quite overwhelming when it comes to making my decision before placing my order. It may deter people that they only accept cash but they have an ATM in store in case you don’t have the cash on you. Shoutout to the great people who work here and the patience that they have.“

“I was there last night for the first time. The atmosphere was very relaxing and spotlessly clean. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent and very nice size portions. I will be putting this on my go to restaurant list.“

“While we were too early to try anything off the menu, I wanted to thank this business for opening their doors (and bathroom!) to the people at the Pride Parade. The gentleman at the counter was sunny and kind and let everyone in. Most other businesses did not. We already have this place earmarked for our dinner after our next beach day. Thank you for being excellent humans.“

“We are never disappointed! Look forward to the seasonal flavor text messages.“

“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.“

“The best. Our son, and our favorite spot! Thank you for the birthday hospitality Nick and staff. Nicholas really enjoyed himself and the food was amazing as always.“
