Restaurants in Red Bank

“I brought my son here to celebrate his 18th birthday and it was outstanding, it was even better than we already expected. The staff was friendly and super attentive. We will definitely be back!”

“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!”

“It was such a delicious Peruvian food, the attention was very warm, the place was clean, the music was tropical and the atmosphere was nice for family or friends.”

“Phenomenal sandwiches and other italian fare. Fried ravioli are must-trys. The sandwich selection is HUGE, and you can have them make any sandwich you like. I had the Mel Brooks (pastrami, corned beef, swiss, cole slaw, Russian dressing) on a panini. Absolutely delicious. Needed about five napkins as it was so juicy and savory. Will be coming back repeatedly and will try the italian egg rolls next time.”

“This place has so far been a pleasant experience, the ambience, food and service have been outstanding and definitely the place I would like to go back to. I tried their chickens, pizzas and wine as well as in house made mozarella and everything was pleasing to the palate.”

“The best authentic food out there! Love every single meal I’ve had so far! Fresh, homemade and tasteful!”

“Lunch with friends and we had a lovely time. Atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. The food was great. Everyone tried something different. The dishes came out hot and were very good. Servers were very helpful and efficient.”

“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've been coming to this coffee shop since they opened up. It has become a fabulous rendezvous place for many people. This is the only coffee I can have. Because they roasted here I have no issues with acid. All of their coffees are smooth. My favorite is the C&C blend. They have many innovative ways to order including a membership where you can leave money on your account. They even let you order by texting. Sometimes the line is out the door but it is worth the wait.”

“My favorite sushi place! Everything is fresh and great service. While I have my go to favorites you can’t go wrong with their bento boxes, poke bowls or the maki rolls.”

“Absolutely spectacular Indian food!!! this is definitely some of the best Indian food I’ve had on the East Coast. They have a wonderful blend of northern and southern dishes that I’m fairly unaccustomed to sing since moving to New Jersey. The flavors are exceptional, and the service was top-notch!”

“My wife has been coming here since day one, and myself for the last eight years. Good Karma is an incredible NJ vegan staple. Everything here is terrific. Service is super friendly and atmosphere is cozy. Pro Tip: Order custom cakes! They’re delicious. Chocolate/peanut butter is our favorite!”

“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.”

“Probably the freshest chinese food in Red Bank. We always do take out. My family loves this place. The staff is incredibly friendly and nice. The food is always outstanding, ready fast and always hot. Highly recommend”

“Stopped in this morning for the first time after a visit to MSK. Nice little diner, good service and our waitress Mary made it even more enjoyable. Friendly and kind.”

“Came across Buona Sera during a day trip to Red Bank and so glad we had lunch here! The setup & decor of the restaurant had its own unique charm that preserved history while balancing modern hospitality. Staff were attentive and made good recommendations—one of which was the lobster ravioli—the best I’ve had! These were jumbo and filled with real lobster, in an addictive creamy sauce topped with shrimp and scallops—highly recommend!! Their appetizer special of the Buffalo mozzarella was also a hit too. The chicken Rossini was very flavorful and had these huge pieces of chicken stacked on top. Be warned that the portions are huge!”

“This restaurant has amazing food and the waiters are very kind”

“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.”

“Was searching for poke and JJ Delicacies came up. Tried it based on reviews (Yelpers haven't steered me wrong yet!) and this place was so good! I built my own bowl with 2 proteins. The ingredients tasted fresh and the portion was generous. The spicy salmon and spicy tuna were flavorful and the house sauce was the perfect addition. Will absolutely return! The service was fast and friendly. I took out, but there are a few seating options for those who want to eat in.”

“One of the best Italian Restaurants Down South Over Here In Red Bank NJ ! Gabriellas Is IT I Don’t Wanna Go Nowhere Else LOL ! The Sushi ,Spicy Rigatoni , Chicken Parm & Steak Is Like That Great Place To Bring A Nice Date Or Even The Family 9/10 For Me & The Owner Is ”

“The food is always good quality and constant . Service is excellent, all staff is extremely pleasant. Burgers are great, Sushi looks excellent. (not a seafood eater). Wish there was a change in the chicken option which has been the same for quite some time. A good go to place!”

“Always amazing food. I’ve heard people say it’s a little expensive and I’ll say it’s not McDonalds that’s for sure.I’m so happy to pay a little extra for the great food and service.”

“Everything was amazing from start to finish. The margaritas were a delicious as always. For appetizers we had the cheese curds which we always get and love especially the roost sauce. Along with trying something new and the pierogies, the carmelized onion reduction did not disappoint! My boyfriend and I split the burger which is by far our absolute favorite. Then we went with the chocolate chip cookies and milkshake for dessert which was so yummy. We also had the absolute sweetest and nicest waitress! Thank you for a wonderful date night dinner and dining experience!”

“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.”

“Fourth visit so we knew they have a limited but very good dinner menu (plus specials) cannot really customize or tweak something like the Skewers as server said they are already prepped. Very good value BYOB. Eggplant done the way I like it, chicken dish very good but potatoes side seemed reheated and green beans a bit on the raw side. Excellent desserts. Will be back.”

“Everything was lovely. I think our server was new. She was nice but seems like they didn't have enough staff and service too a little long but otherwise we loved our food and drinks and the open mic jazz was wonderful”

“Food was really excellent...Service was great. A little disappointed it was BYOB, because one of the pictures in its profile shows a bar top. It is also described as upscale, fine dining, which it definitely isn't...but still worth a visit.”

“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.”

“Thank you for helping make the evening and birthday we were celebrating a very enjoyable evening. Our server was attentive and polite. The hostess was helpful to add our decorations in advance to our table and sit our party on time. The food was spot on as always and the kitchen was accomodating to gluten allergy. The drinks were great and came quickly from the bar to our table. We always enjoy Robinson's Ale House in Red Bank because it provides a consistently good service and food/drinks for a decent value. The place is lively, especially on weekend evenings, but the noise level did not prevent our party of 6 from having conversation.”

“We went there for lunch today. Shared the watermelon salad, lobster salad and shrimp cocktail. All were delicious. My beer was the right temperature. Service was great. View of the Navasink was beautiful!”

“We gave it 5 stars as we like down home, mom and pop locally owned Italian restaurants and it did not disappoint as the decor was just how we like it, Homey and Warm.Since our beloved Tuzzio’s in Long Branch closed due to Joe retiring we ventured to Red Bank to the New Corner Italian Restaurant and after passing this establishment for 22 years we stopped in carrying our own Wine….yes it’s BYOB.I ordered the chicken parm with a side salad and spaghetti and my wife ordered Zuppa de Pesci, it was all very flavorful and authentic, we will be back.One last thing Stephanie the waitress was awesome.”

“This is the best Mediterranean food in the area. It is authentic and fresh. I have had lunch there, takeout and catering, and it was very good! They take pride in preparation and freshness of their food.Vegetarian options: Falafel, Hummus, Babaganoush, salads, spinach pies, spanakopita, lentil soup, etc.,Dietary restrictions: They have great options for vegetarians and non vegetarians”

“Had dinner here Saturday night. Don't know why it wasn't busier as the food was excellent! We had fajitas and tacos and loved every bite! So much food for not a high price. Neither of us was able to finish our dinner as they give you so much food. The only complaint I had, which might have been corrected if I asked, was they only gave 3 tortilla shells with the fajitas. Will definitely be back when in the area.”

“Small clean restaurant with counter seating. I had lunch here today with my niece. I ordered the steak chimmurra taco and it was absolutely amazing. Next ime I'll order the sauce on the side though because it won't be as messy to eat if dipped. Also, the blueberry drink was superb. A bit expensive, as organic is, but worth it. I'll be back!”

“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!”

“Great food and service.Was there again last night, messed up my order and I ate it before thinking about it. They offered to make the right order for me to take togo, I liked what I ate and said don't worry about. They took it off the bill and gave us a free dessert. Again great service and food.”

“Have lived in NJ for almost 25 years. This is by far THE BEST pork roll egg and cheese I have had in the state. The way Johnny assembles this sandwich is perfection. Every bite you take from one of his sandwiches literally gets better as you are finishing it. From the fresh rolls, and freshly sliced pork roll to a perfectly cooked egg with just the right amount of cheese and SPK to hold it together. I can literally say as I took a bite from this sandwich my exact words were “WOW”. I’ll be coming at least once a week from Belmar just to get my fix. Keep killing it Johnny this place is awesome!”

“Small cafe/diner offering breakfast and lunch. Nice menu offering a good variety. Tasty omelettes and sandwich options. We last visited on a Sunday and the place was quite busy, but seating was available after a short 5 minute waitThis place gets quite busy on the weekends. Meter parking available.”

“Though no one was answering the phone there to see if it was open, we ventured on a Wednesday night around 630 before a show at the Count Basie. Walked in and a less than handful of folks at the small bar. No one at the tables. I had to trust the Yelp reviews. Two people seemed to be working, and I believe one was manager and chef. Menu was nice and service was attentive and friendly. The guac was very generous and very good. The entrees had a lot going on on the plate. Fish, rice, corn, salad, veggies, Brussel sprouts, asparagus. A very large serving plate. Could tell care went into the food presentation. Will definitely be back. This is a hidden gem that deserves a spotlight.”

“They were very attentive. Staff was amazing. They answered questions and helped me immediately. Besides the macaroons, the tarts, the cookies, and the quiche, the fruit parfait that I got was probably the best that I ever ate in my entire life. No lie!”

“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!”

“Great place to eat..right across the street from Count Basie theater.Food was good and prices tooLots of variety from Mexican to wraps, salmon and breakfast too.Would go back again!”

“The server Karen was amazing she gave us just the right amount of attention without hovering Her suggestions we spot on! The food is always so creative and amazing I just wish they had tables larger than 4 ppl”

“Grabbed a drink here before a show at Count Basie. Greeted promptly by the bartender, asked if I wanted another round with great timing, she was friendly and courteous. Pricing was fair. The bar was a bit busy but probably because there was a show that night. Didn't rate the food because I didn't eat here.”

“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.”

“The ice cream was delicious it's vegan and gluten free. We had several different flavors and all were good. My favorite was the cookies and cream with caramel.”

“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.”

“The BEST bagels on the planet period!!! Even better than the previous Bagel Oven! My all time FAVORITE bagel spot! I'd give 10 Stars if I could. BO NEVER disappoints!”

“Great breakfast sandwiches and really tasty bagels. The burrata avocado toast is always fresh and delicious. Very friendly staff! Amy is always helpful and kind!”

“In the mid-60's my mother would take me for a sub before my braces were tightened. In those days we would have sore teeth for a day or so after. It was fun to take my wife (a southerner) to Elsies so she could taste a real sub. Great memories. Live in FL plan to visit my old neighborhoods in NJ, will stop in. It has been 20 years.”

“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’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!”

“Let me first say Ryon Rocks … I needed a catering order same day . They not only had my order hot and fresh they brought it to my car . Him and the other young lady were pleasant and will return!!! Thanks ”

“I don’t usually hit coffee shops in grocery stores, but this is my regular grocery and I’m here a lot. On a whim I bought one a year ago and it was absolutely the best latte I’ve had in a long time. I’d call myself a regular now, basically every time I stop for groceries.Lauren is incredible, super friendly, and pays the attention to detail that goes into making a good coffee drink.I always look forward to grocery shopping now and highly recommend you pop in for a coffee whether you plan to shop or not.”

“Very tasty burgers. Hard to categorize - they're either little burgers or fat sliders lol. Came 2 to an order on mini buns. Very juicy and cooked to order.Fries were ok, but cheese sauce felt cloying in my mouth. Buffalo tenders were run of the mill frozen tenders with jar sauce. *Shrug*.Small eating area in store - don't assume you'll be able to get a seat.My recommendation would be to stick to the juicy burgers medium rare and simple fries. Good late night bites!”

“Let me tell you..... Tino and his staff are one of a kind!!! One of the best restaurants in red bank. Hospitality is second to none! Every dish was phenomenal. Definitely going back.”

“The food was very good, the waitress was not very friendly and the staff was not very friendly. For the food it was worth it. Maybe the next one will be takeaway”

“As a regular for years i owe them a review, every dish is great. The food quality is very good!! The vegetables are always very fresh and the meat is NOT fatty ! The family who runs the restaurant is very nice. There are weeks i will eat china garden for 3 days straight. Its very good. Crab Rangoon is the best!!!”

“Salad house is my go quick stop restaurant! the food is delicious, especially the chicken pasting soup!! I always look forwards to the great food and even better service.”

“Where do I start. This place is amazing, simple food, the cookie they include is amazing. I work from home and order from them sometimes and they never disappoint. Price is great especially, they’re very timely with the order as well. Recommend their fries!”

“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 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.

“Great management! Down to earth people with solid food and food choices. Definitely a small businesses to support and make a routine to visit”

“This restaurant has amazing food and the waiters are very kind”

I"ll be back with more friends.”

“Food wasn't as good as it usually is. Pinwheel sausage app was waaaaay over cooked and dry/burnt. Veal Milanese was outstanding but the Alfredo in my wife's dish was just ok. Service was very good, but staff should know the difference between ordering a margarita “up” vs delivering straight tequila up. Easy fix. Just a dip in what is normally one of our favorite spots in Red Bank.”

“A little bummed the special described as rack of lamb was only two very small chops over cous cous. Was more of an appetizer. Sides were large size but entrees definitely on the smaller portion side.”

“Food and drinks were fantastic as usual. Service was kind of okay. Never got asked if we wanted extra dippers and never got a chance to ask ourselves. And I never had a chance to ask for a second cocktail. We had so much fondue left over. Wish we had a chance to ask.”

“We arrived on time for our reservation but the couple who were joining us were delayed. Our server was entirely gracious about this unexpected delay. Once they arrived, service was pleasant and attentive, and the food was really wonderful. We will definitely be back!”

“Soul Kitchen is amazing! Our students love working with the great staff and always feel welcome and learn great skills and life lessons.

“My first time at Danny's My uncle was late so I sat at the bar and had a couple drinks first great bartender Got seated waitress was excellent food was outstanding I'll go again and I already gave my son a gift card”

“Years of good times here! Food is always good, beers of course, live music Apy style, decor that transports to Ireland from floor to ceiling, decent prices definitely worth the value, and more homey and familiar than many places in Red Bank that can feel more upscale than they need to be. Appreciate the approachable vibe here. Curry is great. Banger and mash. Irish nachos. And a nice Guinness of course.”

“Although my wife and I enjoyed Neapoli on a regular basis. we visited three well know local restaurants for Jersey Shore Restaurant Week and Neapoli stood out at as the best. Neapoli never disappoints.”

“Phenomenal sandwiches and other italian fare. Fried ravioli are must-trys. The sandwich selection is HUGE, and you can have them make any sandwich you like. I had the Mel Brooks (pastrami, corned beef, swiss, cole slaw, Russian dressing) on a panini. Absolutely delicious. Needed about five napkins as it was so juicy and savory. Will be coming back repeatedly and will try the italian egg rolls next time.”

“I had take out it was quick and was delicious. Had a great crowd inside. Prices were of the norm. I would definitely go back the pizza sauce was great and the pepperoni was crunchy. I'm a picky pizza eater so this one gets a good star.”

“Got the Coconut Shrimp , kinda getting to be a bit insanely consistent:) , but ya Wow , let’s move over to the B.L.A.T steak sandwich . Blown Away . I’m an idiot for living next door literally and just finding out .”

“The best authentic food out there! Love every single meal I’ve had so far! Fresh, homemade and tasteful!”

“Love this authentic Italian restaurant! Their bar pizza and calamari are a must!Kid-friendliness: Any kid who doesn’t like The Brothers Restaurant pizza doesn’t like pizza,”

“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.
