“Amazing experience at Saffron! The staff were very attentive and were more than helpful when we had questions about the menu. We ordered three appetizers and two entrees, each item that came to the table was better than the last! I also love that it is BYOB, we were able to bring a bottle of our choosing that paired perfectly with the food.”

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

I"ll be back with more friends.”

“Dana and the crew are amazing !! Kara w a K was great , great addition to staff”

“Great food and drinks, amazing staff, prices are good too! We will be back again soon”

“Elli's still remains one of our favorites. We've been going there 6-7 times a year since about the 2nd week they opened. Food is wonderful, good portions, and fairly priced. Even more so, Patrick and his staff always go above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and right at home. Ryann is an excellent server, right on point and on top of everything without being intrusive. 5 stars as always. Just a wonderful experience every time.”

“It's nice that there are still a few places that you can go out to for a good Chinese dinner. We were a little worried when we arrived for a 6:00 pm dinner and the restaurant was empty, but it definitely filled up by the time we left. Everything we had was delicious. The orange duck was juicy and crispy, and the mushu beef was amazing. Will definitely be back soon.”

“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!!!”

“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.”

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

“From the minute we walked in the door we were greeted with a smile, from the hostess to the server. Our server was excellent checked on us all night and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, the drinks were made well. Highly recommend for a great evening out with friends!!!”

“A perfect experience is easily tainted with rude patrons, screaming to communicate with table members. Not the restaurant's fault, but be warned as with any popular spot.
The food is incredible and portions are huge.
I should stress that the staff being so sweet is what kept us from leaving, and the food so incredible that although impossible to ignore the one table screaming (there were obvious periods of "inside voices" for comparison) it was a delicious experience. I've never added other patrons to a review but the table was That Bad.

This was the second visit to GKC. The first was quiet and perfect all around. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“I wasn't expecting this place to be so good!! The baba ganoosh was some of the best I've ever had. Shopkeeper was very friendly and I love the casual atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend.”

“The absolute best pizza in NJ. Maybe anywhere! Cooked to perfection. Cozy restaurant and very friendly staff.”

“Great Omelette!!! Great service and everything is so fresh”

“I have been a Lighthouse Italian Ice fan for my entire life. I believe this Lighthouse location makes the most delicious ice and ice cream. Kevin uses fresh fruit when in season to make some of his ices and ice creams. I think it's the best Lighthouse there is!”

“My avacado toast was EXCELLENT and the perfect portion. I had the flyin Hawaiian smoothie and loved it. Healthy, clean place. And the women who took our order/served us was so sweet and answered all my questions.”

“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.”

“No frills but delicious burrito and chile relleno spot. Get the burritos smothered in the texas sauce. Just good quality stuff all around. Also the chile relleno platters are great too.”

“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.”

“High end bakery. This time I bought their peanut butter cookies and pot au chocolate. AMAZING. I have had their little tarts and I feel like it's a chocolate peanut butter bomb, but I don't know what it's called. Eclairs are great too”

“Red velvet, cookies and cream, tiramisu, salted caramel, ice cream sundae—delicious and moist and perfect for my nephew’s birthday. Compliments and happiness all around!”

“This place is amazing. They have a sandwich called Milanesa De Pollo. Words can not describe the perfectness of this sandwich. It is the chicken sandwiches of all chicken sandwiches. It's really a beautiful sandwich. That's all I can say for now.”

“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!”

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

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

“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!”

“The owner was so lovely and made my cake perfectly! I needed a two tier cake for a coworkers baby shower and I saw on Reddit someone else got one so I ordered in person and she delivered! It looked great and I just added decorations on from Amazon and everyone loved it! Thanks again (oh and of course it tasted amazing too!)”

“Best vegan ice cream in Monmouth County! I stopped in yesterday and bought a small apple pie and almond crunch vanilla ice cream. it was so yummy. Like pie Ala mode.”

“G&G hot dogs have been a staple my entire life. I've been coming here since I was a little kid and my parents have been coming here since they were little kids too! This hot dog stand is legendary in Red Bank if you've never been you're seriously missing out. The dogs are cheap, and always delicious. The man behind the counter, is extremely friendly and always has a positive attitude, rain or shine. Some people may think "Oh its just a hot dog stand how good could it be??" Well let me tell you, it's that good. There is a reason this place has been here for decades. You seriously can't go wrong! Don't miss out on this awesome Red Bank classic.”

“Some of the best bagels in Monmouth county! The spreads were delicious and everything was fresh. PS: for the past 6 months or so it’s new owners and the place was renovated so don’t get fooled by the old reviews”

“Stopped in for a quick lunch on a cool day and had one of the best, if not the best French onion soups I have ever had! Service was super friendly and look forward to trying their breakfast menu!”

“amazing place! Local owner she is wonderful.”

“Great pizza and service! Would definitely recommend!”

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

“Hidden gem in Red Bank! Very surprised to find this place. So far it has not disappointed. Tacos with actual flavor and big enough to be filling. Flavor is great. Fresh ingredients and made extremely quick. Definitely a keeper.”

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

“We love Melonhead. Especially the Red Bank location 'cause it's much closer to us. It's convenient, cute, and quiet. The smoothies and bowls taste fresh and are always on point. Yesterday we met Alana who was highly exceptional and provided awesome customer service. I honestly thought she was this location's new manager. She was super friendly and is very devoted to her job. You guys are lucky to have her!? ?Update: I highly suggest more thorough customer service training with the young people who work here. Especially customer service training over the phone when talking to people.”

“I recently moved to the area and was on the lookout for a great coffee shop with excellent coffee and a welcoming ambiance. I’m delighted to say this place exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, and the setup is lovely. They were playing The Beatles when I walked in, which immediately set a great tone. Taps, the barista, took my order and highly recommended the cold brew, which was absolutely fantastic. This has definitely become my new favorite spot.”

“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 ”

“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 best new salad restaurant in Red Bank! Friendly staff! Fun decor! An absolute must!”

“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.

“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.”

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.
