Restaurants in Red Bank

“The fresh ingredients, the unique flavors, the spice-level made-to-order and the hospitality make this one of New Jersey's best restaurants!”

“My family wanted indian after apple picking and we couldn’t find a place until I looked up Indian and found them. It said 5 stars and the ratings were not wrong. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The food was excellent and there were so many choices. All of the food was worth it. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants and this place is in my top 3. The owner is such an amazing, hardworking, and sweet woman. She told us her story about for 20 years she’s wanted to have a restaurant yet she took the time to support and take care of her kids. It was heartwarming. She also told us a story of a father and a daughter who were starving and came to the door after close hoping they didn’t close yet. The chefs left, but she didn’t want them hungry. She still let them in and she cooked dinner for them and didn’t let them pay. It was for free. She expresses how being able to give food is a blessing and the biggest reward is being able to give food for people in need and feeding the people. She deserves this restaurant. Not only is she an amazing woman, but the bigger plus is the food is absolutely amazing. The naan, aloo papri chaat, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, lamb tikka masala, paneer tikka masala. All of it was amazing and so flavorful. For the spice levels my brother and I got medium and my parents got medium plus and the spice levels were perfect.”

“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!”

I'm a huge Mexican foodie.. and I loved the refried beans and rice. the guacamole was fresh with notes on lime... sooo good! Staff was friendly and attentive, very clean.. I'll be. back.. the food going to other tables ... I must try!!”

“This is my favorite sushi place. Top quality sushi, top notch chefs, family run business !!! Awesome My favorite is their brown rice tea, eel special and smoke salmon sashimi”

“it’s a fairly small restaurant and the food was excellent. Prices were good, which was reflected in the fact that there were many young people
there enjoying.”

“I’ve been coming here for more than 50 years when the original owner Gus was here. It hasn’t changed. I travel over 20 miles just to come here every once in a while.”

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

“What a wonderful addition to Red Bank!!! Will definitely be back to try other menu items. Hope I can stop myself from ordering the Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. 😬”

“I hosted a family event at Via Sposito. Everyone was very pleased with our server, Jessica and the dining experience. The food was amazing and plentiful. We have dined there a few times prior to this and were always pleased with food. At our event everything was family style and there was a variety of food. The pizza and zeppoles were also great. They worked within our budget and offered a lot of choices.”

“Great food and service. Our waiter Tony was great”

“Visited this excellent restaurant for the first time today. Our experience was terrific. The food was delicious, great presentation and the service from our waiter David was outstanding.”

“hello staff.. I must say its not my first time there... I feel you have to check a place out a few times to learn of it. ive always had a wonderful time and enjoy the cuisine witch has always been top Koch (I always order the fish) from your Door msn , your waitress ... had amanda few times, to you'r photographer & the restroom just as it should be Im a military man and I appreciate cleanliness,, Order & respect within a great administrative & good food. I"ll be back with more friends.”

“The food and the service was excellent very reasonably priced and a very nice atmosphere”

“Our waiter was terrific. I don't remember his name but he was a young man with a slender/normal build. I think he's been there awhile. He was so nice and knowledgeable about the restaurant and the food. He helped make our evening memorable.”

“Food was good, service was great (Alex) . They charge you if you use your credit card and in my case my debit card. My biggest complaint is that the oysters were the size of my thumb nail, so skip the oysters.”

“Nice experience good food”

“Amazing tuna poke bowl! Will be back!”

“This is a typical Chinese takeout place with all the familiar dishes and lunch menu items at a typically fair price. Staff is friendly. I wish there wasn't a 10 dollar minimum for credit cards (who carries cash?) but that's not their fault. Food is exactly what you'd expect if you've ever had "hole in the wall" takeout before.”

“I love buffalo chicken sandwiches and have gone as far as Philadelphia to get one. However, I recently tried a buffalo chicken sandwich at Nicholas. I was speechless…literally. My brain instantly went into survival mode trying to calculate how and why this sandwich was at least ten times better than any other buffalo chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. Not even a close second place. Game changing. Life changing. It’s like I knew nothing about buffalo chicken a moment before taking a bite. I was humbled instantly. Nicholas Barrel and Roost found the cheat code!”

“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.”

“We love the Oyster Point Hotel! The bartenders and servers are awesome.. couldn’t be nicer!! But… we miss the wasabi snacks!”

“Had the Tricolore Salad with grilled shrimp today and it was DELICOUS!!!! Dad has the poke bowl and loved it. Service and atmosphere were great!”

“Had breakfast at Johnnys this morning. Great sandwich, good prices and got to me Johnny. Five stars”

“Awesome place with friendly stuff and amazing delicious dishes. Very clean with the best coffee. A must place to dine.”

“Great customer service at the Red Bank location! Delicious flavors for all tastes.”

“I’ve been trying to go to Coffee Corral for a while. Finally made it today. It was so relaxing to grab a coffee and listen to live music on a sunny autumn day. I definitely will be back.”

“I swing by for a couple subs when in the neighborhood. The past two cold subs didn't match my order. My hot sub reminded me that I should only eat eggplant in season. I miss the old Elsie's.”

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

“Best pizza and service!!! Amazing wings, salad, everything!!!”

“We were looking for a vegan restaurant to stop at about halfway through a drive from Bergen County to a shore point and found this place on Happy Cow. It did not disappoint! Food was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive, and the portions were large. We ordered the mac & cheese with coconut bacon and the Reuben sandwich. Although we were full we ordered two desserts to go because they looked so delicious . We ate them later on at home and they were delicious as well! We got the slutty brownie and the chocolate chip cookie. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area.”

“Love this place and the folks who run it! Fresh food and great service every time! The French dip Sammy is THE BOMB!💣. The best👍”

“Thank you so much cupcake magician for this custom made engagement cake. It came out beautiful and tasted absolutely amazing. I was so thrilled with the results I already put in my next custom order! The staff was also phenomenal and very accommodating. I cannot wait to keep using their wonderful services in the future.”

“Best personal pies. awesome meatballs 😋 friendly atmosphere”

“Food is Amazing . Always bursting with flavors! I door dash from my work frequently and never disappointed only impressed”

“Fantastic beers, great staff and a very cool vibe. Definitely check it out. Welcome to the neighborhood and best of luck! 🍻”

“Great menu selection, delicious and fresh pizza, they use the best of ingredients on everything - staff is always friendly, best pizza spot out there”

“Food is excellent, staff are wonderful!!!”

“Big vibes for a little place. It was a great way to start my morning this morning, from the good mornings and positive and uplifting energy from the employees (from both Pat’s and Coffee Surf) to their breakfast sandwich and the BEST cup of Chai tea I have had in a while. I highly recommend both places.”

“I think there might be construction going on so I'll have to revisit, but it didn't have the laid back cafe experience I was hoping for. The coffee was great and I was able to enjoy getting some work done here.”

“Haven't had Rita treat in forever. My sophomore class ran a fundraiser there and I treated myself! What a delight. I had the vanilla and chocolate twist in a cup. So good I went back the next week to get more.”

“The food is amazing! not to mention they also have awesome live music! great overall place to hangout and grab a drink with a bite to eat!”

“My wife and I had the 4 course dinner. Food was very good. We started with the Bacon and Brie Cheese Fondue. Pretzel bread was extremely good. For entrees, my wife had the land and sea, I had the steak. Everything came out good. I enjoyed cooking my own food at table. Everything came out good. We finished with cookie and cream fondue. This was very good too. Even dipped a little of the chocolate into my coffee for an enhanced taste. Our server was very good.”

“I love DUNKIN coffee. Asked clerk IF the coconut donut is a yeast and not a cake donut, I will buy it. She said it was a yeast donut. So i bought it. When I bit into it, it was NOT a yeast donut. Wasn't going to return it. I mentioned to her that there is a difference. She brushed me off and said it's close. I beg to differ. Some people don't care to educate themselves. Uggh.I ordered the sourdough grilled cheese. It was amazing!”

“Food is fantastic! Steak is superb and the waiters are friendly and professional. The decor is soo pretty, you really feel like you're not in Red Bank some times! Highly recommend.”

“Very tasty ice cream. They give out hefty-sized scoops and their cones are good too. Normal flavors mixed with specialty flavors makes the menu diverse. They also have giant cookies and brownies if you're looking for that extra sugar high. They're decent.

Staff is friendly: pretty relaxed, quiet place. Younger people in school and the owner (I think) are usually behind the counter and they do a fine job in my experience there.”

“Love the Lobster Special ! very fresh and reasonable”

“My grandkids enjoy the ice cream thanks ladies you are very nice My grandkids are happy😍”

“Was at your establishment yesterday after promising myself I would never go back. I was happy I did, after the last two horrendous visits both with product and customer service which were months ago yesterday’s experience was wonderful. My first thought was “ They must have a new owner or manager” . If this is the case , well done. So happy to have a Playa I can once again go to.”

“Yesterday was the first time my fiance and me went to the salad house! The grilled chicken with buffalo sauce was fire we loved the Buffalo poppers the salad was so delish! We can’t wait to come back! They have food for the kiddies to next time we will bring the kiddies!”

“Hey y’all, I logged into my second account to leave another review cuz that’s how awesome this place is. Pizzas amazing. Jeremy’s the GOAT. I was so indecisive of what pizza I wanted but he accommodated my requests with so much patience and understanding. It was the best pizza I’ve ever had in my entire life. I’m broke but I still tipped him cuz he deserves my entire bank account with the service he provided us. If he left, I’d go vegan.”

“Very relaxing, quiet atmosphere, classy . Not a fast food place. Family run.... Excellent food. Had a shrimp dish. Lots of shrimp and vegetables . They had run out of asparagus but friend had chicken and green beans instead. Soup very tasty. Prices reasonable . Excellent dining in experience. A wide variety of food. Very nice owners, they try to accommodate. Brown rice is an option. Healthy food.”

“Great place. Some dishes a bit pricey but the lunch specials are nicely priced (Tue - Fri only). Be aware that 8f there is a ? next to a dish on the menu, they mean it. Plenty of non-spicy to choose from too.”

“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.”

“We think this is the best bagel in the Red Bank area. They use the traditional water kettle then bake them. They are closed on Mondays. It is counter service only.”

“awesome authentic stuff! 👌👍”

“Sandwiches are delicious! Closest thing around here to a NYC deli. Staff is pleasant & courteous.”

“Rook used to be such a vibe. The coffee is still great, but Now the employee's all seem miserable. No one's ever smiling or making friendly conversation.”

“I had an amazing experience at melon head great bowls and friendly customer service I had a great in counter with the worker Dillon was very nice and friendly I recommend you stopping by here if you are in the mood for smoothies bowls etc”

“Best sandwiches ever. Amazing staff. Everything is delicious I drive over an hour just to get the goods”

“La comida esta riquísima!!! Muy limpio el lugar… y el servicio de las meseras muy atentas…. Oh y el agua de Horchata, la salsa para las (chips) de muy buen sabor! Recomiendo este Restaurante al 💯!”

“I am a Gringo, but kind of an expert with Mexican Food.

We ate here Sunday, 10/06 just before the finale of the N.J. Hispanic Film Fest conclusion at the The Vogel Theater.
The place is small, tight, but the food is good!
Food orders were chicken tacos (Tacos de Pollo) and chicken sopes (Sopes de Pollo). Both very good, filled with a lot of seasoned chicken.Tortillas are hand made.Salsa was good, as well as the side of Guacamole; more than enough for two people. Prices were fair. And the place is BYOB. I would recommend this for a quick, reasonably priced, authentic Mexican meal.
Bathroom was updated and fairly clean. Service was good!

This was our second time eating here.”

“I had the eggplant sandwich and it was very good. Crispy, thick pieces of eggplant like it supposed to be. recommend!”

“Great pizza and service! Would definitely recommend!”

“Originally was going to stop at Mr. Pizza Slice for some Pizza, but parking and traffic sucks as usual. Went to the West Side of Red Bank and stopped here. Selection is small but took a chance and had a slice from the pepperoni side and one from the plain side. Both were delicious, reminiscent of a typical North Jersey or New York slice. Plain - $2.00 Pepperoni - $3.00 Can of Diet Coke $1.00 Total = $6.00 Both slices folded nicely and are of a good size. Also, service was quick, oven hit enough to heat up to a hot temperature to allow you to enjoy. Recommend to all to give it a try!!!”

“They got the best food there. And also Harry is very good at cooking. And his son is very good at cooking too. Go to shrewsbury avenue to go visit town and country in redbank new ”

“I’m giving 5 stars for the food, but really for the excellent service provided by Sean. He provided service for my sister and I that was beyond what was to be expected. He accommodated our sitting outdoors and took care of our every need! He was excellent. I only regret that I can’t give him more stars!”

“i was there yesterday with my son and his girlfriend ( 5-10-2025 ) we had a very nice time waitress was great also the food ,is was my mothers day treat ( they came down from pa ) they have never been there i have i live in middletown nj thank you again”

“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”

“Had the Tricolore Salad with grilled shrimp today and it was DELICOUS!!!! Dad has the poke bowl and loved it. Service and atmosphere were great!”

“I order from this place religiously. I can’t remember a bad sandwich or bagel. This is the real deal bagel place. Most recently used door dash and had the wrong order. Contacted them because door dash screws you over and the owner went out of his way to get the sandwich right and delivered himself. Great place!! Great people! Great service!! Do yourself a favor get the bagel!!!”

“The service was amazing. Our server Tyler was so attentive and personable and the social media manager Tomas also made sure we were well taken care of.

I had pulled pork over salad (I'm gluten-free) with BBQ ranch dressing. It was delicious! The lady who took care of us was very nice and helpful when I told her about my gluten allergy.
Small pkg lot.”
