Kosher Restaurants near Toms River, NJ

“One of the best dining options in the area. Freshly made and delicious. Beautiful design, great atmosphere, and good value for money ratio.
My recommendation, the cigars are phenomenal. Go for the Israeli’s dish less for the chicken and fries.“

“Great food and amazing service.“

“great food great service great ambiance ....I'll be back“

“Wow! We enjoyed drinks and appetizers here after an all-day work meeting and everything was fantastic! Fun and engaging staff, beautiful views and accommodations, excellent food and delicious drinks! The highlights for me were the Thai cauliflower and duck tacos - incredible flavors and pop of fresh ingredients 😋! This is not an inexpensive place to enjoy a meal but you deserve it - bon appetite! One small suggestion for the establishment - please place paper towels in the bathrooms. We're over hand dryers and would enjoy a nice, clean personal towel when we use the restroom. 😉“

“Great food allways! Best service! Live Mr E and ofc the man behind the scenes! Moshe Glick! And remember that Installing solar panels is a simple and easy process! And that they are otherwise waisting their Money!

“Best baby grilled chicken ever.“

“food was amazing servise was amazing“

“Little difficult to find the place. Went for lunch. Had the 4 kinds of tacos: chicken,short rib, beef, lamb. Also the fries which were crisp. and had 4 kinds of dipping sauce. Got the steak sandwich for my daughter. She loved hers. We loved the fries and tacos. manager was friendly and explained our options. I missed having Mexican. MOstly you get pizza, bagels Israeli style , and steak restaurants.“

“Absolutely the best store. If you're looking for a beautiful and delicious treat you must go here. The gift trays are beautifully wrapped and ready to go for any occasion. They have Cholov Yisroel and Parve chocolates and treats. Highly recommend to stop by and see their selection for yourself.“

“Good food. Perfect place for takeout. Especially Thursday night. Fast service.
Their popper sandwich was amazing! Also the southern fried chicken was out of this world. Also they give free chicken soup to any meshulach that comes by!! Prices are affordable and not so expensive! Positive experience overall.“

“What an exhilarating experience! The food was tasty, fresh and served to perfection! The ambience is classy, elegant and tasteful. The wait staff is engaged and effective. Maitre d Mike is a tour de force! You will really enjoy yourself at Entree! What a gem!“

“The owner and her waitstaff are friendly, attentive, and professional workers. They make good dishes, too! A 10/10 in my opinion. And their digital menus are also well done. Come here for yummy 😋 food 🍲 and good service. Prices are what you’d expect of a sit-in eating establishment, but not unreasonable.“

“I love this place,
Is it with the family, alone, or with friends. for any occasion I had, this place was perfect! The food is delicious. The atmosphere is amazing, and the service is spectacular,
And the portions are extremely generous,
The owner is a really nice guy, the food got wiped clean! They are very kid friendly, would definitely recommend!“

“Toast Cafe absolutely knocked it out of the park for our Sheva Brochos!
We hosted the entire event there (about 40 guests) and from start to finish everything was top-notch. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious—everyone raved about the salmon especially. Portion sizes were generous and everything was perfectly seasoned.
The staff was warm, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of our simcha. Service throughout the night was seamless, and the manager personally checked in multiple times to make sure we had everything that we needed.
The space itself is clean, modern, and felt perfect for an family Sheva Brochos—elegant but not stuffy. Pricing was very fair for the quality and service we received.
Highly recommend Toast Cafe for private events, especially in the frum community. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you for helping make our Sheva Brochos so special!
Will definitely be back for brunch too 😊“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Yussi's Catering for a family event in Lakewood, NJ, and I must say, their food and service were truly exceptional! The team at Yussi's went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, from the initial consultation to the final presentation.

The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options to suit every taste and dietary need. From the tender, flavorful meats to the fresh, crisp vegetables, every bite was a delight. The presentation was also impressive, with beautifully arranged platters and garnishes that added to the overall visual appeal.

But what really sets Yussi's apart is their phenomenal service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional, ensuring that every guest felt welcome and cared for. They worked seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

I would highly recommend Yussi's Catering to anyone looking for top-notch food and service in the Lakewood area. They truly exceeded my expectations and helped make our event a memorable success. Thank you, Yussi's, for a job well done!“

“I got a delivery. I wrote on a note: Gluten free. They were so careful and called me to have me switch one item in my order. I really appreciated that. Then I had to switch the order from pickup to delivery and they were very patient. Even though I didn’t ask for them, Sushi Spot sent me Gluten free tamari sauce packets. Yum! The food was generous and delicious!“

“love their tuna on a bagel and it's well priced too. will return. clean and friendly atmosphere. highly recommend!“

“Delicious Pizza, calzones and everything. Large seating area and great prices. Staff is extraordinarily friendly and fast, especially Levi, who rocks !! And Hemy greets everyone with a smile. Also, new Simcha room upstairs !! Perfect for ur Bris, Sheva Brochos or whatever !!“

“Must try out the new Burgar menu. Best i had. Great food and apps!!!️“

“The Lessers are an amazing family.Great People who also make great great food !We look forward to their heavenly Gala every single week without fail.Their sweet liver is a small piece of heaven.Their Kishka is delicious as well.Gotta go to R&S as your first stop in your Pre Shabbos shopping !You can find more of their fantastic products at the Deli and Fridge Section if your local grocery as well.You WILL enjoy !!“

“I ordered the fettucine alfredo which was at once creamy, buttery and silken. The sauce was not cheesy-thick as some alfredos are, but light and yet rich in taste. Someone at another table ordered French toast, and boy did that smell good.And the other dishes other people were getting also looked delicious. Average pizza for average kosher prices in Lakewood. Sandwiches and salads are also available. There is nothing about this place that stands out (for good or for bad). The area is heavily commercial so parking can be tricky as well as commuting during busy hours.“

“Great food , friendly atmosphere“

“Mom and I had nicely cooked grilled salmon and 3 cooked vegetable side dishes including cauliflower, green beans and roasted veggies. All were excellent. We also had some coffee drinks and these were competently made. The service was friendly and courteous and they threw in the rhirs vegetable even though the plate came with only two. The desserts looked delicious although we didnt indulge this time. The atmosphere was pleasant and the bathrooms were clean.“

“Pretty good pizza.
Delicious pricing!
Ready quickly.
Nice concept.

Dietary restrictions: Not sure but pizza is probably not good for you if your on a diet.

Parking: It’s difficult to park due to the nature of a drive through.

Kid-friendliness: Pizza.

Wheelchair accessibility: I’m sure the drive through will be accepting seemed pretty chilled.“

“Met some friends and we all chose pasta dishes. I never got to ask but the pasta sure seemed homemade to me!“

“Not just pannies, soup, stews, hot dogs etc delicious. Many sauces and toppings fresh daily if you haven't been here come you will be very pleased. Come in and say hi btw lol. Enjoy.“

“Yummy fresh food.
The service from the kiosk was unbelievable no attitude at all.
Huge menu, if your indecisive good luck!
I love getting the crispy schnitzel in a laffa and they cut the laffa in half if you want so you can eat like a mentch.
They toast the baguettes like your supposed to.
Not sure if they still give free Cholent with your order on Thursday nights but used to love going for that.

Vegetarian options: Salad.

Dietary restrictions: If you stick to the veggies.

Parking: Always spots available.

Kid-friendliness: Hot dogs.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“Our golf group decided on the Southside deli as our lunch venue before our tee time at Lakewood CC. Don't be fooled the uninspiring curb appeal, this was a great choice! I had a delicious pastrami sandwich on fresh rye bread with cole slaw which was absolutely delicious! I will be back to try their kosher BBQ and smoked meats, plus other sandwiches and burgers.“

“I wasn’t sure what to expect here, but I guess I’d call it a not-quite-balabus level steakhouse.
I went with 4 other people and ordered a steak which was okay, tasty but nothing crazy. When your paying their prices, a satisfactory steak just doesn’t cut it.
The design? Meh. And this was before all the competition came around. Now you really gotta up your game.
Not impressed by the ambience.
The service was ok too.
Listen though, I walked out with a full stomach, and that, my friend, always deserves 4 stars.“

“Love the gf pizza!

Dietary restrictions: I've had their gf pizza a couple times, and it's one of the better kinds I've found. Plus I've never gotten sick from it, so they must be careful about cross contamination over there.“

“So many freshly-baked items, I had a hard time choosing. My students were thrilled that I went out of my way to shop here. While I bought 4 different items, I needed to get triple the amount of black and white cookies. I know now for next time. So many compliments and thank yous as students picked some of each item.“

“Very New York. Loved it. Sicilian the best. Friendly staff.“

“Everything about tomahawk steakhouse was amazing.. I was there two nights in a row and couldn't ask for better food, service and ambience. It was the best way to celebrate my daughter's birthday and coming from my family who owns the best Italian restaurants this was outstanding. 10 out of 10.“

“The food was very good and service always excellent.

I have come here, many times and have never been disappointed. It's probably the best place to get donuts in the area, and the bagels are much better then I am used to.“

“best food in lakewood“

“So many yummy options and great staff. Always willing to serve you and prepare your food with a smile. I really enjoy coming here to grab a quick bite and sometimes for a sitdown lunch. As well, always a great spot. Plenty of parking available outside can get a little bit traffic during the day.But overall great spot to grab food“

“If you’re in Lakewood and you have even a drop of a sweet tooth, Gelbstein’s is basically a ניסיונות station. You walk in “just to look,” and two minutes later you’re leaving with a box, a bag, and a third thing you don’t remember agreeing to… because the smell of fresh pastry makes you sign away your free will. 😄
First of all, everything is fresh. Not “fresh-ish.” I mean fresh fresh — like the danishes are still warm and the crumbs are already following you home. The rugelach/danish vibe is top-tier, the pastries are flaky in a way that makes you whisper “וואו” without realizing, and the challah is the kind that turns a regular Shabbos table into a whole simcha.
And it’s not just the classics — they’ve got fun stuff too (those cute cupcakes and seasonal things), so it’s perfect when you need:
a quick treat for the car (aka: “for later”),
something respectable to bring to a vort/Sheva Brachos,
or a Shabbos dessert that looks like you put in effort (בלי עין הרע).
Also, the place has a very heimish, local feel — you’ll bump into half of Lakewood in there, all pretending they’re “only buying one thing.” Sure. We all believe you.
Bottom line: delicious, consistent, and dangerous in the best way.
Highly recommend — just don’t come in hungry unless you’re okay with your wallet doing teshuvah afterward. 😄“

“Bacoli Pizza has some of the best food I’ve had in the entire Ocean County. Everything we’ve ever ordered was amazing and the service is just as great as the food! When we order takeout from here and have friends/family over, everyone comments on how delicious the food is. 11/10!!! must try“

“I just ordered food, and I’m already so impressed with the service! I haven’t even started eating yet, but I had to leave a review because their service is beyond incredible —this is definitely a restaurant I’ll be coming back to. Can’t wait to try the food!“
