“The food here is what it is a menu put together by someone who wants to sell drunk, but drinks are good. The atmosphere is loud but fun. It feels like it represents the city well. You are not going to get gourmet food but you will probably have a good time.“
“Oh my LORD! The vegan food is sooooooo good!! I tried 6 different things, and one was better than the next, and it’s BIG and HEAVY food! You definitely get your money’s worth. I will order from then again and again and will tell my family and friends.“
“In the summer months, I always look to have a nice refreshing lemonade, and Pucker's is definitely the place to get it while visiting Asbury Park. Just one sip, and you know you are getting fresh squeezed lemonade that has the right amount of sweet to tart ratio. The place is small and hardly noticeable on the boardwalk unless you are using the restrooms that are directly behind them. They also serve fries (several sizes) and fried oreos, but I haven't had the chance to try them yet as I always go for the lemonade. The staff is friendly and quick with the orders, so no complaints about the service. I noticed some reviews stated that the price of the lemonade is a tad high at $6 each or $7 if you get a flavored lemonade, but I think it is pretty reasonable. I definitely recommend and most certainly stop by again the next time I am in the area.“
“I've been coming to this spot for years. The food is consistently good and the waitstaff has always been friendly. Coffee is great too and I am a bit of a coffee snob. I love their vanilla latte. Cozy on the inside and nice location on Cookman. Red Bank location is wonderful also- different vibe inside but food just as good.“
“Small quaint diner on the corner with 6 booths, 6 tables, and 6 barstools. Service was fast, and portions were large. 3 chicken tenders on a large Belgian waffle and lox hollandaise with 2 hashbrowns couldn't be finished by my wife and I. Food was fresh and great, coffee bottomless and menu robust. $36 including tip.Vegetarian options: Omelets, sandwiches and moreParking: May have to check side streetsKid-friendliness: Kids were there when we went“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“I got a vegan ice cream cake here for my mother’s birthday. My mom is dairy free and she was so over the moon to have an ice cream cake. It was absolutely delicious and SO hard to believe that it wasn’t actually ice cream because it had all of the qualities of the best ice cream cakes like chocolate layers and becoming perfectly melty on your plate. This was a gift for my mom and we can’t wait to try all of the ice cream!Dietary restrictions: Vegan ice cream cake that passes for a real ice cream cake“
“Location was easy to find, and very clean. Staff very friendly and soo many options of cider and mead to choose from. Definitely recommend doin a few flights before choosing something. The sour cider was actually my favorite. Definitely will come back and they are dog friendly which is an added bonus.“
“This was our first time at Seed to Sprout. Finding places to eat that adhere to my diet while I’m out and about with my husband on the weekends is sometimes tough, so finding this gem made my day and fueled my body with great nutrition to finish out our busy weekend. I had a cup of the lentil soup and the kimchi rice bowl. My love had the blu buffalo bowl. The food and service were phenomenal. Can’t wait to go back and try something new!“
“I love this place! My favorite is the cupuacu (def not spelled correctly) smoothie and açaí bowls. You can choose small, medium or large unlike other places and the prices are fair. The baked goods (scones) are amazing and baked by the owner with love. There's usually never a long wait which is great if you're stopping before work. Besides carrying fresh food/coffee the vibe and decor make you wanna hang for awhile... Definitely a favorite!“
“Omg. The chicken Frangelica! First time visiting the new location and boy was it great! Our server (J) was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. She laughed with us, catered to our needs and made perfect recommendations. Can’t wait to go back!“
“Been to this awesome shop many times. Last night I was gifted with free donuts ?. OMG HANDS down the best I've had. I'm glad I saved rhem from being discarded. A BIG thank you to the nice guy working there. This place is a must. Enjoy ?“
“First time and perfect. I highly recommend Mugsy's for hand crafted sandwiches, soups, and juices. I had the Steakhouse Melt, Turkey Shawarma, and a Purple Rain juice. I also tried the spinach and artichoke dip soup. I'm going back as soon as I get a chance. It was all delicious ladies. Thank you.Vegetarian options: Options were explained immediatelyDietary restrictions: Gluten free options were offered before I even ordered“
“I love Daniel's Bistro. Have been going for years, and most recently about a month ago, and it was perfect. It has great vibe, staff is personable, it was a group of five so we ordered a lot of appetizers and desserts, too. Will be back again soon.“
“One of the best bakeries in NJ. You cannot go wrong with a single item. The fruit and cream brioches are my favorite. They are topped with seasonal fruit and are so fresh. The coconut cream donut may have been the best donut I’ve ever had. The scones are so delicious. The macarons are another favorite. Unique flavors and they are the size of your palm. I travel over an hour (each way) to get here and I promise you it’s worth the trip!“
“My family and I came in for the tea service and it was so fun! The vibes here are amazing and they had a really great selection of tea! I especially loved the wall of tea cups! The radish sandwich and chicken salad sandwich were the stars of the show followed closely by a black currant scone and the carrot and ginger soup. (The theme for the tea was beatrix potter) the tea service cost about $50 a person and in my mind was worth it!!“
“Always great food and service! They also have an extremely efficient takeout system. The staff is always very friendly and quick. Favorites are the house salad, Jim's salad, cauliflower crust pizza and chicken parm. Definitely a shore favorite!!“
“Hands down, best peanut butter chocolate combo cups/ball I've ever had in my life. My hubs and I hid the box from our teenagers. I've had the cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and brownie cookies. All really great. Highly recommend. The service was above and beyond as well. They even wrote to keep cold on 1 box, which was really helpful. Thank you, Cravings!“
“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!“
“Try the blueberry pancakes BECAUSE they are more than just regular pancakes with lonely blueberries on top. If you are a fool for French Toast GO HERE because their selections will make you wanna bury your face in the plate. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere was great. Wherever you are coming from this place is worth the trip.“
“This place is amazing! Oodles and oodles of delicious treats! So much to choose from. I stopped in to get a gift for a sick friend. Kathleen helped me pick out the best they had. She was so “sweet” and helpful! Very much appreciated her great service. Will definitely be back!“
“So thrilled to find a local gluten-free bakery in NJ. The staff were amazing and friendly. The baked items...... Well, let's just say my waist line isn't quite as small as when I entered. I will definitely be back every time I come back to visit family in NJ.“
“Dedicated Gluten-free restaurant, if you are Celiac or just have gluten intolerance you can eat here without worry of kitchen cross contamination. I LOVE the Turkey Burgers here, they come with a very nice Arugula salad on the side. Bun is toasted to perfection and the patty is cooked beatiful with a nice slight char on the outside but still juicy on the inside.My only wish is that Turkey Burgers be available for dinner as well. I usually order two at lunch and save the other in fridge for later. Reheats really nice in the oven at 325. I also LOVE the Brownie's, please never get rid of them! ?“
“WOW! The Burgers here are AMAZING! Everything here is organic and the beef is grass fed. You can tell the burgers here are high quality. I had the Mushroom Shroom Burger, and it was so delicious! The burger was so juicy. Even the bun was fresh and melted in my mouth along with the burger. The hand cut fries were very good, but wish they were served hot. I was shocked when the girl at the register said the truffle fries were $12 and a small milkshake is $10! You can end up spending $40-$50 just for a burger, truffle fries, and a shake here which is overpriced. The 5 stars is because everything was so delicious! I recommend Hearthly Burger in Shrewsbury!“
“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!“
“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 come here often. You will wait for a seat. You will wait for your food and it's worth it. Love the staff. The ladies the young men are marvelous. I drive far to come here. It's worth it. My coffee mug is never even halfway empty.“
“This is THE bakery! It’s the only place I will get cakes for any family parties or birthdays. I am always pleasantly surprised by their new flavors, and am yet to find one that I don’t love. The girls inside are always super friendly and knowledgeable. Gotta try the new churro cake! It’s incredible. I won’t go anywhere else!“
“I’ve been coming to LUK for over a year now and I wish I knew about them sooner. Every single meal my family and I have ordered is 100% clean, fresh and ACTUALLY tastes amazing. Coming from someone who used to eat McDonalds everyday and only enjoyed fries foods…LUK is one of the main reasons I was so successful in my lifestyle change and developing healthier habits.Just the other day my step daughter was complaining about a sore throat and one of the owners went out of her way to make a specialty drink just for her and she loved it! I go out to eat here 2-4 times per week and I would go every single day if I could! The staff is so sweet and kind! They even remember exactly how we all love our food.10/10 recommend!Dietary restrictions: They offer so many gluten free and vegan options that taste amazing!“
“I stopped into ECB Freehold because I was dropping something off at SouthGate Manor next door. I am a teacher at one of the local high schools, and we had lunch catered by this company a few years ago. I really enjoyed what I had for a light lunch, but decided to pick up something for dinner. First, this place is small, but has everything that you need! There are refrigerators with detailed photos of what is in every single meal, all of which are sealed and contain all of the ingredients and nutritional information you need. The employees there are so helpful and kind too. Post-workout, I followed the directions and peeled back a corner of the plastic cover, placed it in the microwave for 2.5 minutes and WOW I had a fantastic dinner!! I bought the General "Bros" Chicken and holy moly, there was so much flavor. I bought the Buffalo chicken wrap for lunch tomorrow and I can't wait to try it. Seems like everything is about $10-$13 per portion (from my brief overview) but I would say is totally worth it to pick up on your way home from work if you need a quick meal for dinner or lunch the next day, made with love of course :) Thank you Eat Clean Bro for a fabulous first take-home meal!“
“Yesterday stopped in during a walk downtown to enjoy the beautiful weather. Staff was extremely friendly (as always) .Decided to try something new, so I had the Haulin Oats (Oatmeal Raisin Cookie). I must say as someone who loves Oatmeal Raisin Cookies…this was the absolute best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend, I’ve also tried their cupcakes and cinnamon rolls also very tasty. Never disappoints!“
