“We have been working at Shadowbrook since 2012 and it has been nothing short of amazing! Remember working there before the huge renovations and they did an excellent job! The food is great, the staff is probably the best we have ever worked with, and overall a Five Star wedding & event venue! Highly recommend them!“
“A huge Thank you to Falco’s Catering for allowing us to host our daughter’s sweet 16 birthday party. The venue was set up nicely and the staff was excellent and attentive to our needs all during the event ; especially Renae.Thank you also to Heather for always answering all of my questions and concerns leading up to the event. We would definitely recommend you to others. We had a night that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.“
“I honestly do not know where to begin. My husband and I recently got married at The Mill and we cannot find all the words to express how happy we are with our decision. We would choose The Mill over and over again. Both we and our families cannot recommend The Mill enough. From the very beginning and at our initial tour, the staff treated us with upmost respect and hospitality. We toured a total of four venues, but The Mill stuck out to us the most, making our decision one of the easiest.Susan, our wedding coordinator, was simply THE BEST! Susan was so accommodating and prompt with any replies to questions/requests we made. She went over the top with EVERYTHING and made sure all of our visions came to reality.My wedding day was MAGICAL! Although the weather was not the very best for an outdoor ceremony; The Mill accommodated us in every way. I cannot express how appreciative we are and delighted with our last-minute indoor setup. Our guests are still raving about the ceremony.We had a handful of guests who are handicapped. The layout of the venue was so handicap accessible. Everyone was a part of each aspect of wedding, no matter their disability, which was so important to us.The food was EXCEPTIONAL!!! Cocktail hour was incredible and the station options were so delicious we did not know which ones to choose. We are so happy with our choices. Although CH was full of greetings and photos, Julia, our bridal attendant went out of her way to make sure we got bites of each station and passed horderves. Vin and I were able to celebrate together, intimately, at the beginning of CH in the bridal suite with our signature drinks and so much food. Dinner was DELICIOUS! Every guest complimented the food, no matter what meal they selected.The reception room was so spacious!! Our guests sat comfortably at the tables and we were able to fit a Photo Booth, guest book table, cake table, and table to honor those who have passed. We had plenty of space to dance the night away. Guests were blown away from the entrances we all made with the automatic door entryway. The view of the lake is breath taking! No matter where you are on premises, there is so much beauty around you. Photos can be shot from anywhere!Tyler, our Matridee, was incredible. He ran the show so smoothly and was so attentive to our preferences and requests. He was hardworking and very dedicated.We love how our time at The Mill has not ended even after our wedding has passed. We are looking forward to all the fundraiser events and alumni events hosted.I can rave about The Mill until I am blue in the face. There is truly not a single thing I have to say negatively about The Mill. With that said, if you are looking for a one-stop shop and a highly accommodating and affordable venue, look no further. The Mill is it! We rate The Mill with 5 golden stars.“
“Foodini's catered my wedding morning with breakfast and lunch platters delivered directly to my hotel! They even opened early on a Saturday to accommodate my order! The food was delicious and delivered exactly on time. The deliver people were so professional and even helped set it all up in our room. It came with plates, utensils, and napkins which was a life saver. Thank you Foodini's!“
“I’ve been using Florentinos to cater my large parties for 20+ years. Whether they take care of the whole menu or provide us a few supplemental items, there food is always a delicious showstopper. We always get compliments from our guest and their staff is wonderful to work with!“
“Had a delicious 5 course dinner ! The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully plated . Chef Collin’s was an absolute pleasure. I would 100% recommend him to everyone who’s looking to host a dinner party !! Thank you for a wonderful experience.“
“The Shore Spot is always on point. Whether it’s a Greek salad, Nashville Hot Chix Sandwich, or an entree you can’t go wrong. Frank genuinely cares about the food he puts out. If you haven’t tried the “place” at the little league field in Manasquan you are missing out.“
“Ten stars! My favorite place to get authentic Puerto Rican food besides what I know how to make at home from my days of cooking at a Puerto Rican rehab! I order at least once a week, sometimes twice. The best empanadas, the best arroz con gandules, the best pernil! Rosa is an amazing chef, hustler, and I love supporting her business. She’s very active on social media with letting you know where and when you can order and whenever you call, your business is appreciated genuinely!“
“Absolutely the best owner Lenny is phenomenal crew is phenomenal and delicious. delicious food recommended to everybody great bread from Staten Island and Specialty breads, good bagels also!! Its a Family type atmosphere !! You’ll never be disappointed!“
“As I’m typing this I realized I should’ve took a picture of my food so yall could see how it looked….. but it was sooo good to eat that it didn’t even cross my mind until after. The fried chicken wasn’t salty, super oily, and it was so well seasoned . It was fried to perfection. The yams were not overly sweet. The Mac and cheese I have no words. I got myself a lil dessert and decided to get peach cobbler. DELICIOUS!!! I definitely will be coming back no questions asked. They can have all my money“
“There is nothing like that hometown deli feeling! You walk into familiar faces both at the counter and at the tables! Pick it up in the morning, knowing I’m gonna have a great lunch. Fresh soft bread, crisp lettuce, tomatoes topped off w spice mustard on top of a more than genuine serving of meat and cheese. No fast food or franchise meal will ever beat Mike’s!“

“I hired Marie for my husbands birthday last night. We had the best experience! She arrived on time and the courses were served based on the flow of the night. She cooked and cleaned everything, I did not have to think twice about anything! We were able to unwind and enjoy the night. Marie was personable and accommodated the food allergies we had in our party with ease and acceptance. I recommend Marie to anyone who wants to enjoy a good night with great food!! Thank you again for everything Marie!! ?“
“I absolutely love J&M bakery in Middletown, NJ! Their pastries are unmatched, and I can't imagine going anywhere else for baked goods. While I have respect for other local shops, J&M's pastries, especially the lobster tails, are to die for. The filling is divine, and you won't be disappointed. They are definitely a staple for my family on Sunday. And J&M's commitment to traditional Italian recipes and high-quality ingredients shines through in every bite. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by and taste the difference for yourself. J&M bakery is a true gem!“
“The best breakfast sandwiches & the only local spot with poppy seed rolls! The owners are always friendly & chat with everyone while pumping orders out morning and afternoon. Great selection of snacks & drinks to go with your sandwich as well.“
“Apple Street Kitchen is a little, neighborhood gem. It’s slightly off the beaten track. After you discover it, I promise you’ll become a fan for life. They are known for using the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. They do try to refresh their menu every season. That way it stays current. Check them out if you’re looking for a cute breakfast or lunch place. They also have outdoor seating in their garden area in the warmer months.“
“Great family-run spot in Little Silver- service is always fast and friendly. I've had it happen on a number of occasions that I will owe a small amount, say 25¢, and the cashier has waved me off with a "you're good, don't worry about it". I always make sure to drop extra in the tip jar while I'm there, because you really are treated like a friend at Grandma's!“
“Yesterday we enjoyed a stress free Thanksgiving meal. We ordered everything from Joes Deli and it was all delicious. Turkey, gravy, dressing, cranberry sauce, green beans, corn, mashed and sweet potatoes. Plus pie for dessert. EVERYTHING was delicious. We actually had time to enjoy our family and not spend the day in the kitchen. Thank you so much.“
“Chef Covas Catering did our New Year's Eve wedding at the Long Branch Distillery - They were awesome! The food was fantastic and our point person Samantha was a pro! Lauren, Owner & Executive Chef, was very easy to work with in terms of planning the menu and offering suggestions - she clearly knows what she's doing and made my fiance' (now wife) very comfortable. All our requests were honored and the team was super-attentive and responsive during the event. They nailed the vibe we were looking for and our guests were extremely complimentary of their work. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking to cater an event.“
“Will and Scott are the apex of competency. Not only did they do our wedding back in 2016, but we hired them again in 2024 for my wife's 40th Birthday.During a NOREASTER, they still not only showed up, but ensured that we had the absolute greatest party in the history of parties.Will is second to NONE as a Chef with the absolute best team imaginable. If you don't hire these guys, you don't care about a 5-Star memorable event.11/10A++++6 out of 5 stars“
“On this rainy and wet Wednesday after I was craving a burger so a friend had recommended coming to Grossman's as they had what they called a "really good burger". Upon examination of the photos online I agreed and ordered the cajun burger cooked medium with chips. This burger comes from the specialty menu.Upon arriving at the location I picked up my food and returned home. Upon opening the take out container I was met with a messy pile of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions pushed off to the side and my burger wrapped in foil.I unwrapped my burger expecting a nice sized patty and a burger leaking with juices, and I found a plain burger. The patty looked small. Upon my first bite i was expecting a juicy explosion of flavor, what I got was dry unflavored, unseasoned and overcooked burger.The burger did not have any "cajun" seasoning that i could taste. It was not cooked medium as I had requested. This was unfortunate as I was looking forward to trying this burger after hearing it had received high praise among the locals.The fries that came with this were crinkle cut in nature and were above average. While I am disappointed that this burger did not meet my expectations I will say other food I have had here has been good. Maybe today was a fluke.Unfortunately I do not recommend going here if you plan on taking out your burger. Hopefully they are better when ordered and eaten inside.I will say this is still a favorite for other foods! Such as deli sandwiches4/5 Stars“
