Turning Point of Toms River West

Overall I just was not impressed. The food was nothing spectacular - just a basic breakfast. I got the vegan pancakes because I am gluten free and was told that batter is GF. Idk what is in the batter but the pancakes had a very off flavor. Definitely not my cup of tea. While the food looked fine, everything just tasted very bland and even adding salt, pepper and Tabasco didn’t do much. I feel like they could do a better job of cleaning. There were old crumbs and stray hairs on the windowsill where I was seated and my fork had dried egg on it. That was my immediate impression upon sitting down…The atmosphere is nice and my server was fine but I probably won’t be back. :(

Wosrs service and my eggs Benedict the ham was not even cook terrible place my was ecomadated a cup of coffee lol

Excellent diner near Glenn Lester Chrysler in Toms River. I try to eat breakfast there every time I bring my van in for service.

When we arrived there was one table that already had their meal around us the hostess was super friendly and sweet!
After waiting about 12-15 min a server came over and brought us water told us he’s not our server but saw we have not been greeted yet so thought he would take over the table, which we thought was nice and we were grateful.
After ordering our drinks which took a while we thought was cause my husband did get the French press coffee, after his coffee was brought to the table (and chocolate milk and lemons for my water had yet still not arrived) we realized it was not delayed due to the coffee.
When the other things came out we proceeded to order chips and salsa as an appetizer.And I ordered a lemonade.
We also took advantage and ordered our food at the same time as we knew what we wanted. My meal had a few changes nothing crazy no drizzle or mushroom add roasted red peppers. My husband asked for a side of chicken and steak. Server said he will check to make sure it ok with management after he came back to tell us all was well with the additional food for an up charge which we were completely ok with! Well this was the last time we saw our server.
At this point there are now tables filling up around us getting their meals and checks. We still didn’t get my lemonade or app. Give or take about 25/30 min my sons kids meals came out followed by my meal (which was completely wrong) our app and my husbands side of chicken and steak. As the people who brought out or food were not our servers I was waiting for our server to come check on the table to let them know my husbands meal did not come out and mine was completely wrong well as we sat for another 10 min my son almost completely finished his meal no sign of the server at this point we ask another server for a manager. She was super understanding and apologetic. She asked how she can fix my meal and what my husbands meal was but at that point we were just ready for the check. She apologized again and said she will take off the food that we didn’t receive.
After a few min our server arrives with my husbands food in a Togo container and my lemonade.
We thanked him still tipped him for the food that we didn’t pay for and left. Super sad considering this was my first time at this place and my experience will not allow me to go back. SERVERS MATTER and this service was just not it unfortunately.

TERRIBLE experience at Stafford location beginning with hosts Riley and Christian. After questioning what was supposed to be a 30 -minute wait that turned into 1.5 hours of waiting , hosts were incredibly rude. Once I asked for a manager, an individual by the name of Kevin walked up to me , showing no empathy with “it is what it is attitude”. When I voiced my concern about the horrible customer service I received from the host, his response to me was to “not talk negatively about his employees”. This blew my mind !!! Needless to say, I had to walk out with my two children and take my money elsewhere!

Went for a birthday brunch of three. The place wasn’t that packed, surprising for a Memorial Day, but I understand why now. There is a sever lack of professionalism at this location.

There was no host to be seen for a good while, and someone was smacking gum on the job and walking around not doing much, chatting with whoever she could.

After 20 minutes of waiting and observing the atmosphere and unbussed tables, a waitress told us we can follow her to our table, when out of nowhere the gum lady stopped our waitress to just chat, point and talk about a baby from another family. We just stood there like hello??

We finally sat down. We were given four menus but two glasses. Great. I ask for a glass but that didn’t come until after the water came — which tasted funny.

The food was just ok. Nothing spectacular. Someone brought out my coffee and spilt it on my jacket, bag, table and chair. They apologized but didn’t even bother to properly clean my bag or the chair or table. Very surprised they didn’t come back with a wet towel.

Anyways, just overall an ok place and would recommend going elsewhere.

A slightly upscale feel. Breakfast choices are varied with some interesting variations to , nothing extreme, compared to standard Breakfast fare. Never crowded we we go. Coffee/food is consistent and great.

Went to the Brick Location. Justin was our waiter and was rude. I ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes and they were so dry and tasteless. He walked if I was happy with my choice and I said no good and he said oh well and walked away. I had 3 bites of my food and it’s now in the garbage. I would not recommend eating here.

We were invited to the friends and family breakfast the day before opening. We were all absolutely floored by this place and have already made a new tradition to come every sunday! The wait staff and INCREDIBLE, they are so sweet and so speedy! They were so considerate, turned the fire place off for us, and talked with our kids. The restaurant is clean, calm, almost beachy feeling. The most important...the food was absolutely amazing AND at an incredible price. The portions are large and VERY affordable, while looking and tasting like high end breakfast. This place makes you feel rich, and will thankfully not give your bank account the bill.

Great food, awesome clean look. Friendly service that met my expectations and informed the kitchen of allergy issues. Good size portions with appealing layouts.

Slow, not so friendly service, place wasn’t even half full. Walked in, wasn’t greeted by the hostess at the counter, had to ask if we seat ourselves or wait to be seated. Didn’t say anything, just grabbed menus and seated us. Food was ok at best. Won’t be coming back.

I went there over a year ago. I don't go out a lot. The pancakes though were terrible. I am not normally that picky. They were cakey. I went with my mother. She agreed. Her pancakes were a little better. Mine were plain. Hers' were something else. But we both agreed they were the poorest we have eaten. We told the waitress and she said 'we don't make very good pancakes'. She also said with confidence and added that she has been there a long time and that that they always make them that way. I remember some other stuff being good like the cofee. So i will give a 2.
