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!”

I'm a huge Mexican foodie.. and I loved the refried beans and rice. the guacamole was fresh with notes on lime... sooo good! Staff was friendly and attentive, very clean.. I'll be. back.. the food going to other tables ... I must try!!”

“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”

“it’s a fairly small restaurant and the food was excellent. Prices were good, which was reflected in the fact that there were many young people
there enjoying.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“What a wonderful addition to Red Bank!!! Will definitely be back to try other menu items. Hope I can stop myself from ordering the Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. 😬”

“Great food and service. Our waiter Tony was great”

“Amazing tuna poke bowl! Will be back!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Always an excellent meal here. We’re big fans of the cold sesame noodles, black pepper filet mignon and the vegetarian chicken imperial. Great for both BYO dine and and take out!”

“Nice experience good food”

“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!”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“We love the Oyster Point Hotel! The bartenders and servers are awesome.. couldn’t be nicer!! But… we miss the wasabi snacks!”

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

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

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

“I came in for a pick up order yesterday, after many years of not being in the area. I was very glad to see my favorite item (the seitan chimichuri sticks) were still on the menu. The entire staff was so warm and friendly, making the experience extremely positive. After checking out, I decided to also grab a lemon and lavender cupcake, which was fantastic. The only way I can describe the chimichuri sticks is “heavenly”. They were just as I had remembered, if not even better. I can’t wait to return again soon!!!”

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

“Best personal pies. awesome meatballs 😋 friendly atmosphere”

“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.”

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

“Friends, I just tried the food and it is delicious, it is, if not, the best I have ever tried in all of Red Bank and the customer service is the best. My experience and stay in the USA could not be better. I recommend it to you.”

“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.”

“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👍”

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

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

“awesome authentic stuff! 👌👍”

“Fantastic beers, great staff and a very cool vibe. Definitely check it out. Welcome to the neighborhood and best of luck! 🍻”

“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.”

“A suggestion. Middletown had to be closed due to it not being financially viable. As a daily coffee drinker and supporter of local business, I can tell you the sole reason why people choose Rook, Starbucks etc. over Booskerdoo. Your prices. A 24 oz flavored
iced latte with alternative milk is $8 and that's without tipping. That is insanity. The average person can't afford that.The largest starbucks drink with alternative milk is $7 (still pricey) and the largest Rook drink (cold brew,alternative milk) is between $5 and $6. That leaves room for tip and a reason to return frequently.”

“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!”

“I love DUNKIN coffee. Asked clerk IF the coconut donut is a yeast and not a cake donut, I will buy it. She said it was a yeast donut. So i bought it. When I bit into it, it was NOT a yeast donut. Wasn't going to return it. I mentioned to her that there is a difference. She brushed me off and said it's close. I beg to differ. Some people don't care to educate themselves. Uggh.I ordered the sourdough grilled cheese. It was amazing!”

“Food is fantastic! Steak is superb and the waiters are friendly and professional. The decor is soo pretty, you really feel like you're not in Red Bank some times! Highly recommend.”

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

“Yesterday was the first time my fiance and me went to the salad house! The grilled chicken with buffalo sauce was fire we loved the Buffalo poppers the salad was so delish! We can’t wait to come back! They have food for the kiddies to next time we will bring the kiddies!”

“I went into this store just to refresh and grab a smoothie on a hot day and since, i can’t wait to go back. The workers were so friendly and welcoming and my aloha smoothie was an 11/10”

“Very relaxing, quiet atmosphere, classy . Not a fast food place. Family run.... Excellent food. Had a shrimp dish. Lots of shrimp and vegetables . They had run out of asparagus but friend had chicken and green beans instead. Soup very tasty. Prices reasonable . Excellent dining in experience. A wide variety of food. Very nice owners, they try to accommodate. Brown rice is an option. Healthy food.”

“Great place. Some dishes a bit pricey but the lunch specials are nicely priced (Tue - Fri only). Be aware that 8f there is a ? next to a dish on the menu, they mean it. Plenty of non-spicy to choose from too.”

“Hey y’all, I logged into my second account to leave another review cuz that’s how awesome this place is. Pizzas amazing. Jeremy’s the GOAT. I was so indecisive of what pizza I wanted but he accommodated my requests with so much patience and understanding. It was the best pizza I’ve ever had in my entire life. I’m broke but I still tipped him cuz he deserves my entire bank account with the service he provided us. If he left, I’d go vegan.”

“Had a great time and awesome dining experience. Can’t remember my servers name but, he was on point. We’ll definitely be back again.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Some of the best bagels in Monmouth county! The spreads were delicious and everything was fresh. PS: for the past 6 months or so it’s new owners and the place was renovated so don’t get fooled by the old reviews”

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

“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.”

“Excellent place, a very clean restaurant and very friendly staff. I highly recommend this place. Of course I will return to share with my family. I loved the food, very good portion, delicious tacos and very delicious sauces ☺️”

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

“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”

“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 💯!”

“I am a Gringo, but kind of an expert with Mexican Food.

We ate here Sunday, 10/06 just before the finale of the N.J. Hispanic Film Fest conclusion at the The Vogel Theater.
The place is small, tight, but the food is good!
Food orders were chicken tacos (Tacos de Pollo) and chicken sopes (Sopes de Pollo). Both very good, filled with a lot of seasoned chicken.Tortillas are hand made.Salsa was good, as well as the side of Guacamole; more than enough for two people. Prices were fair. And the place is BYOB. I would recommend this for a quick, reasonably priced, authentic Mexican meal.
Bathroom was updated and fairly clean. Service was good!

This was our second time eating here.”

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

“Great pizza and service! Would definitely recommend!”

“I’ve seen a few comments here about cost, and while I don’t even think this place is expensive compared to other similar bakeries, you also get what you pay for. Great service and some of the best desserts in central NJ.

We brought a big assortment to Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit. Some highlights include:
-Chocolate Mouse: small simple thing but 5yo niece loved it and was so excited to have her little mouse
-Nutella Croissant: what more could you want? A perfect buttery crispy croissant with a generous amount of Nutella inside the unique shape that keeps it from sog
-Peanut Butter Bombe: tasted like PB, Nutella, with soft chocolate on it and a chocolate cookie bottom, I could eat 10 of these even though they’re quite big
-Napoleon Marble Cake w Raspberry: imo it’s the best thing they have but I love these to begin with, I always order these and this is the best I’ve ever had
-Misc: also had chocolate & vanilla eclairs, Lindser torts, mixed fruit mini pie, almond chocolate croissant - everything ordered was at minimum above average.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

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

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

“I went to the Robinson Ale House on June 29, 2024. Service was excellent. The waitress was wonderful. My husband and I had lunch. I had a T-bone steak special , he had meatloaf. They were excellent. We had key lime pie for dessert. Really good too. We were seated outside on the side because we needed shade. Planning another trip in August. I can’t wait to try the Drunken Clams this time if it’s still on their menu. I hope I get the same waitress. If they still have the T-bone on their daily special I recommend you get that. I had mine medium rare. Quite pricey but well worth it. The rest of the menu is moderately priced. Good generous sized portions. Definitely recommend. 5 stars”

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

“Bought a cappuccino cake for my husbands birthday. It was delicious. The person that took care of us gave us some candles and a cake server. It came with matches.”

“The service was amazing. Our server Tyler was so attentive and personable and the social media manager Tomas also made sure we were well taken care of. We ordered: apps: -Italian egg rolls -Burrata with arugula and balsamic glaze -arancini Mains: -thin crust pizza with goat cheese, baby arugula, fig jam and balsamic reduction -stuffed gnocchi with mushrooms in a cream sauce -7th heaven brunch plate Desserts: -Italian layer cake -mini cannolis -cappuccino -chai latte cappuccino -espresso We will definitely return to try more!”

“I order from this place religiously. I can’t remember a bad sandwich or bagel. This is the real deal bagel place. Most recently used door dash and had the wrong order. Contacted them because door dash screws you over and the owner went out of his way to get the sandwich right and delivered himself. Great place!! Great people! Great service!! Do yourself a favor get the bagel!!!”

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

“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.”

“Low key, order at counter and go to table to wait for food. Very informal. The bacon wrapped popper bites are amazing!!! Hamburgers were very good. I had pulled pork over salad (I'm gluten-free) with BBQ ranch dressing. It was delicious! The lady who took care of us was very nice and helpful when I told her about my gluten allergy.
Small pkg lot.”
