Restaurants in Red Bank

“The fresh ingredients, the unique flavors, the spice-level made-to-order and the hospitality make this one of New Jersey's best restaurants!”

“My family wanted indian after apple picking and we couldn’t find a place until I looked up Indian and found them. It said 5 stars and the ratings were not wrong. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The food was excellent and there were so many choices. All of the food was worth it. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants and this place is in my top 3. The owner is such an amazing, hardworking, and sweet woman. She told us her story about for 20 years she’s wanted to have a restaurant yet she took the time to support and take care of her kids. It was heartwarming. She also told us a story of a father and a daughter who were starving and came to the door after close hoping they didn’t close yet. The chefs left, but she didn’t want them hungry. She still let them in and she cooked dinner for them and didn’t let them pay. It was for free. She expresses how being able to give food is a blessing and the biggest reward is being able to give food for people in need and feeding the people. She deserves this restaurant. Not only is she an amazing woman, but the bigger plus is the food is absolutely amazing. The naan, aloo papri chaat, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, lamb tikka masala, paneer tikka masala. All of it was amazing and so flavorful. For the spice levels my brother and I got medium and my parents got medium plus and the spice levels were perfect.”

“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!”

“Great food comida con mucho sabor 🥘”

“Fun atmosphere, delicious food. Our waitress Staci was great! We will be back.”

“My boyfriend and I go there at least once a month , each time we go we are treated like kings and queens !! The staff is excellent well respected and high honored in professionalism!! The food is always excellent and colorful !!! We both are in this field working with adults with special needs , we are honored every time we go there !!! Some restaurants need to take lessons from this place !! If there was ten stars or more that is what i would give them !!”

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

“Visited this excellent restaurant for the first time today. Our experience was terrific. The food was delicious, great presentation and the service from our waiter David was outstanding.”

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

“Excellent authentic Mexican food. Server was great and knowledgeable about gluten allergies as well. If you want great Mexican food definitely check this place out.”

“This is my favorite sushi place. Top quality sushi, top notch chefs, family run business !!! Awesome My favorite is their brown rice tea, eel special and smoke salmon sashimi”

“I haven't been inside in quite awhile, but I've had the food recently, & it was just as great as I remembered it!”

“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.”

“Amazing food, amazing service. A bit pricy for the area and food but worth the go!”

“I’ve been trying to go to Coffee Corral for a while. Finally made it today. It was so relaxing to grab a coffee and listen to live music on a sunny autumn day. I definitely will be back.”

“The perfect evening ! Food, service and atmosphere were all spot on! Chef Dimas Montalvo III your a true talent !”

“Amazing tuna poke bowl! Will be back!”

“Nice experience good food”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We went here yesterday before a show at the theater... Food was outstanding great service and great ambience”

“Ellis Backtyard was a delicious brunch, great atmosphere, great music, and friendly and efficient staff. Great to see happy, young people seeming to enjoy their opportunities. Ask for Alura as your Server, positive outlook on life !!”

“I love buffalo chicken sandwiches and have gone as far as Philadelphia to get one. However, I recently tried a buffalo chicken sandwich at Nicholas. I was speechless…literally. My brain instantly went into survival mode trying to calculate how and why this sandwich was at least ten times better than any other buffalo chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. Not even a close second place. Game changing. Life changing. It’s like I knew nothing about buffalo chicken a moment before taking a bite. I was humbled instantly. Nicholas Barrel and Roost found the cheat code!”

“My wife and I had the 4 course dinner. Food was very good. We started with the Bacon and Brie Cheese Fondue. Pretzel bread was extremely good. For entrees, my wife had the land and sea, I had the steak. Everything came out good. I enjoyed cooking my own food at table. Everything came out good. We finished with cookie and cream fondue. This was very good too. Even dipped a little of the chocolate into my coffee for an enhanced taste. Our server was very good.”

“The food and the service was excellent very reasonably priced and a very nice atmosphere”

“The food is amazing! not to mention they also have awesome live music! great overall place to hangout and grab a drink with a bite to eat!”

“Had the Tricolore Salad with grilled shrimp today and it was DELICOUS!!!! Dad has the poke bowl and loved it. Service and atmosphere were great!”

“Been a customer for twenty years. Solid BYOB Italian restaurant with a veteran staff. Owner and general manager are always present. Ownership changed 9 years ago. Very good fresh pastas. I’m totally a fan of their main marinara sauce. Sometimes I’ve asked for it on the side. My wife and I have liked the seafood pasta panadora. I tend to order a lot of salads and I’ve tried most of them. My favorite is their chopped salad ($18). Sometimes I get it with the chicken option. I really like their own salad dressing. It’s a little different. The Greek salad is really good too. The braised slow cook short ribs are very popular; a long time specialty item. Their lunch menu is very reasonable. Surprisingly good burgers and sandwiches. I’m particularly a fan of their tuna sandwich, with several variations. I have found the service to always be excellent. I noticed their bread has been outstanding. Owner said they invested in a new ovens from Italy✅ Their homemade carrot cake is excellent, and I’m fussy when it comes to carrot cake, my favorite😀 Great location in downtown Red Bank on Wallace Street, which is not busy. There is municipal parking nearby. Keep in mind you generally have to pay in Red Bank unless you’re willing to walk a bit. Also, a special mention goes out to special events. They’re particularly good at parties. They scale well to what the needs of the event. It can be simple to full sit-down dinner or buffet.”

“This is a typical Chinese takeout place with all the familiar dishes and lunch menu items at a typically fair price. Staff is friendly. I wish there wasn't a 10 dollar minimum for credit cards (who carries cash?) but that's not their fault. Food is exactly what you'd expect if you've ever had "hole in the wall" takeout before.”

“Great customer service at the Red Bank location! Delicious flavors for all tastes.”

“Love this place and the folks who run it! Fresh food and great service every time! The French dip Sammy is THE BOMB!💣. The best👍”

“Awesome place with friendly stuff and amazing delicious dishes. Very clean with the best coffee. A must place to dine.”

“Food is Amazing . Always bursting with flavors! I door dash from my work frequently and never disappointed only impressed”

“I love this place so much. The food is so consistently delicious and the servers are so sweet. The workers are always genuinely welcoming and wow, did I mention how good the food is? Tonight I had chicken and eggplant. It was sweet and garlicky and cooked perfectly. 10/10. We also ate a Thai basil beef dish, also phenomenal and the Singapore noodles ... Fresh, spicy and so tasty. Thanks for another great meal, you have to eat here!”

“We were looking for a vegan restaurant to stop at about halfway through a drive from Bergen County to a shore point and found this place on Happy Cow. It did not disappoint! Food was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive, and the portions were large. We ordered the mac & cheese with coconut bacon and the Reuben sandwich. Although we were full we ordered two desserts to go because they looked so delicious . We ate them later on at home and they were delicious as well! We got the slutty brownie and the chocolate chip cookie. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area.”

“I swing by for a couple subs when in the neighborhood. The past two cold subs didn't match my order. My hot sub reminded me that I should only eat eggplant in season. I miss the old Elsie's.”

“Best pizza and service!!! Amazing wings, salad, everything!!!”

“Had breakfast at Johnnys this morning. Great sandwich, good prices and got to me Johnny. Five stars”

“Thank you so much cupcake magician for this custom made engagement cake. It came out beautiful and tasted absolutely amazing. I was so thrilled with the results I already put in my next custom order! The staff was also phenomenal and very accommodating. I cannot wait to keep using their wonderful services in the future.”

“awesome authentic stuff! 👌👍”

“Very good service! We ordered pineapple fried rice and shrimp pad Thai, tom Yom soup, all very delicious and authentic Thai food in very good price! Highly recommended!”

“Food is excellent, staff are wonderful!!!”

“Was just in the store yesterday and saw the amazing company Truffliest, which I love the truffle sauce. There’s an amazing selection of different various products as well as amazing fresh pasta and food ready to go. If you’re in the neighborhood in Red Bank, I would definitely recommend stopping by!”

“Highly recommended! This place is great!”

“The best vegan, gluten free ice cream and baked goods in NJ! It’s a safe space for a child or person with allergies to sit and eat a delicious treat. Every one will enjoy the ice cream!!! The owners are always friendly and welcoming.”

“I’ve been coming here for more than 50 years when the original owner Gus was here. It hasn’t changed. I travel over 20 miles just to come here every once in a while.”

“Awesome food! My Maui Sliders were the BEST! Tater Tots with Cheese were so good as well!”

“Excellent fresh food, well made and authentic. I’ll be coming back again”

“Got the green tea with the turmeric mix, tasted amazing! A really cool spot to just hang out, maybe first dates and browse the groceries as well. The seats could have been a little better but great ambiance.”

“Big vibes for a little place. It was a great way to start my morning this morning, from the good mornings and positive and uplifting energy from the employees (from both Pat’s and Coffee Surf) to their breakfast sandwich and the BEST cup of Chai tea I have had in a while. I highly recommend both places.”

“So Fresh and Flavorful !!!
Amazing the best Bakery in this area !
The croissants are buttery moist flaky and rich best croissants around this area by far !”

“Loved this place back in the day!!! Brother used to buy WAYY TOO MUCH 🙃 BUT WE LOVED IT!!!!! My Boy would love this town… New jersey… Radbank… Very good place… Lots of music?? Love to hear it!!! And a lovely view of that water tho!!!😂😂 Custard is 2 die 4!!!! Came by a month ago…Worker was so chill. Young boy.

“Sandwiches are delicious! Closest thing around here to a NYC deli. Staff is pleasant & courteous.”

“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.”

“I've been to every bagel deli in the area and this one outshines them all. Bagels are perfect and the food is great. Staff is friendly and helpful. So glad my grandson, Nick, introduced me to this place. If you want to relax with friends over coffee, there is a small lounge area or sit at a table to enjoy your food.”

“Originally was going to stop at Mr. Pizza Slice for some Pizza, but parking and traffic sucks as usual. Went to the West Side of Red Bank and stopped here. Selection is small but took a chance and had a slice from the pepperoni side and one from the plain side. Both were delicious, reminiscent of a typical North Jersey or New York slice. Plain - $2.00 Pepperoni - $3.00 Can of Diet Coke $1.00 Total = $6.00 Both slices folded nicely and are of a good size. Also, service was quick, oven hit enough to heat up to a hot temperature to allow you to enjoy. Recommend to all to give it a try!!!”

“These cookies are so easy to prepare. They start out as frozen balls of cookie dough that you arrange on the included parchment paper then bake! After just 15 minutes, you have the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Moist and chewy with melted chips inside and a crisp, golden cookie finish on the outside. Delicious and made right here in NJ. Buy local, eat deliciousness!”

“Best sandwiches ever. Amazing staff. Everything is delicious I drive over an hour just to get the goods”

“We love Tino’s Mexican Kitchen. The food and ambience are amazing.”

“We think this is the best bagel in the Red Bank area. They use the traditional water kettle then bake them. They are closed on Mondays. It is counter service only.”

“I had an amazing experience at melon head great bowls and friendly customer service I had a great in counter with the worker Dillon was very nice and friendly I recommend you stopping by here if you are in the mood for smoothies bowls etc”

“I had the eggplant sandwich and it was very good. Crispy, thick pieces of eggplant like it supposed to be. recommend!”

“They got the best food there. And also Harry is very good at cooking. And his son is very good at cooking too. Go to shrewsbury avenue to go visit town and country in redbank new ”

“Great menu selection, delicious and fresh pizza, they use the best of ingredients on everything - staff is always friendly, best pizza spot out there”

“La comida esta riquísima!!! Muy limpio el lugar… y el servicio de las meseras muy atentas…. Oh y el agua de Horchata, la salsa para las (chips) de muy buen sabor! Recomiendo este Restaurante al 💯!”

“Food is delicious and the service is great. Highly recommend.”

“Visited Cluck U for the first time today- and they have a life long customer! Andrew had piping hot FRESH food to us in 5 minutes. While my husband and I were eating Andrew sat down and chatted with us about the history of the city, restaurant recommendations and even spoke to us about new facilities they’re building in the area. This morning was rough as we had issues checking into our hotel, but we are so glad that the first place we went to (suitcases in hand) was Cluck U. It easily turned our morning around. Thank you Andrew for the great food and pleasant conversation!”

“Local favorites offering good bagels, and they make good sandwiches.
I've gone here three times in the last 2 weeks and each time was greeted with a smile and friendly staff is appreciated especially at 6:30 in the morning. 😉
Good coffee!!!
Thanks!”

“I was surprised, I got a free donut, ( National Donut Day ) TNX �”

“My grandkids enjoy the ice cream thanks ladies you are very nice My grandkids are happy😍”

“My wife and I hired them to do a food truck for after our wedding reception. 15/10 decision. The tacos were incredible esp the General Tso chicken and the bang shrimp tacos. Plus the leftovers that weren't served at the reception hall made great afterparty food. If you like tacos and want to give your late night party crowd a treat after a fun night, highly recommend Tacoholics!”

“Very authentic Mexican street food, reminds me food from Los Angeles & some parts of Mexico. Absolutely love their Oaxaca tamales be aware that's little spicy lol”

“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. 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!”

“I visited yesterday morning before work and had a great experience. This location has a team that stands out from other locations. It fits in wonderfully with Red Bank’s culture even though it’s a recognized franchise brand and the coffee is delicious. The chocolate and strawberry croissants are very fresh. I love the modern aesthetic and layout mixed with the friendly atmosphere. I felt like I was in an high end “Mom and Pop shop”. It was also cleaner than most of the local coffee shops. Definitely suggest coming here if you want some reliably quick and tasty food/coffee in a busy Red Bank”

“I bring my 80+ year old mom there once a month after her eye doctor. The staff and patrons always help her in and out with her walker. Great kind staff and food”

“Everything was fresh and delicious. It was my first time there and not my last!”

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

“This BBQ spot is super close to me, so I order from them pretty often. The best things on the menu are the smoked chicken, Im usually getting it with mac and cheese and their burgers I’m not a fan of their brisket since its very dry, but everything else I’ve tried has been really good. Overall, definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re craving BBQ!”

“Last time I was here, bagels and coffee were great, fresh and prompt service. The issue was their largest coffee cup size was too small for me, so I cannot make this my morning breakfast stop. Even though the bagels are good, I can't make two stops in the morning. Need to offer at least a 24 oz. coffee cup size. Their largest is only about 16 oz.”
