    a view of a bakery

    Stopped for gas half a block from this place. Asked the attendant what the good smell was from. Got pointed to the deli across the street. Was suggested to eat the "hot" number 11. Absolutely friendly faces and the sandwich was Amazing. This deli would fit right into a more urban area like nyc, quality and service. I was passing through fishing. If you are in the area, make sure to drop by this gem for some food.

    I'm a local and I haven't been to the deli in some time, and I don't know why. It is located in the Oakhurst section of Ocean Township, not far from me. As a Yelper, I'm always pondering what venues I haven't frequented or better yet reviewed.... so here we are. Lunch is a good time of day to enjoy a sandwich and a salad. Both of these, by the way, were excellent. When you go up to the counter they take your order and your name. There's at least eight people behind the counter, hustling with the Brennan logo on their tees. When your order is ready they call out your name and you either pay the bill and leave or sit down at the table and pay when you're done. The place is really clean and the staff is quite friendly. It was quite busy during this lunch time. Parking is on the side and rear of the building. PS. I did not see any restrooms.

    bacon and avocado sandwich

    I love this place but they are so stingy with their sandwiches I always still hungry after I eat. I specifically asked for extra bacon this time because I know how little they put on and this is what they gave me.

    This is a casual breakfast/lunch spot where you order at the counter and pick up your own order. They have plenty of seating inside if you wish to dine-in. I had the #3 (roast beef, horseradish cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo) and #6 (black forest ham, brie, honey mustard) sandwiches. Both were under $8. The roast beef sandwich had really tender meat. The sandwich overall was a little on the bland side and could have benefited from some more salt or dressing. The black forest ham sandwich was good but could have benefited from having vegetables. I liked that they had a ton of sandwich options with very different ingredient options. They have a private parking lot with plenty of parking. Workers were friendly. They have a separate breakfast menu. I came on a Sunday and it was pretty crowded. Service is quick. It wasn't the best sandwiches I've ever had but their meat quality was really great and I think you can customize any sandwich to your liking.

    I ordered DoorDash breakfast. The food was childish and bland. Very over priced. Don't wasted your money here.

    I recently attended a party that Brennan's catered and it was really good. Hot and cold buffet. The sandwich players were delicious.

    Terrific deli, great salads. Some would say the sandwiches aren't overstuffed, but the quality is high. I'm a fan!

    The parking lot is not tok bad, although in the summer, when all of the bennys come to town, it can be crowded, especially Monmouth Road.

I stopped by the Long Branch location, located in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The interior is pretty small. No seating available - just a register to order, counter, pick-up area, and merchandise section. They only operate as a grab-and-go. I can see it being cramped during rush hours in the morning... luckily I came by on a weekday afternoon and was the only one there. Rook prides itself on having a small and simple menu. They only sell hot pour-over single origin coffee and cold brew. They picked a few things to perfect and do really well. So for espresso lovers, you're out of luck. BUT don't let that steer you away because their drinks are phenomenal. They use high quality, premium beans. The employee was extremely helpful with guiding me through the menu and giving me recommendations. I love that milks and sweeteners are available at no additional charge! They also have decaf and half caf options. I ordered a Vanilla Cold Brew (regular size $5.50) with milk and sugar. And let me tell you... it was love at first sip! It was probably the best cold brew I've ever had. Super smooth, rich, and creamy. The vanilla flavor wasn't overpowering and added just the right amount of sweetness. I definitely understand why so many people love their coffee. I wish there were more locations closer to North Jersey because I can see myself becoming a regular. If you can't visit a storefront, you can buy their cold brew concentrates or coffee beans online. Don't sleep on Rook!

People place their order either in person or using Rooks' app. While they don't have chairs and tables for you to sit and sip, it's still a very calm and chill place as you wait for your drink to be prepared. A quick shout-out to all the employees who work there. I am gobsmacked at their talented artistry, both in making a delicious cup of coffee and in their drawings on the cups which can be found on the side.

I waited outside for an hour just for him to never show up. I called them back was yelled at by one of the waitresses and called a not so nice name and then was told it was too busy and I should call DoorDash for a refund, I said that isn't gonna help me get my butter and syrup that u said u were bringing that I have been waiting over an hour for.

It's a real shame as I have been going to the hungry hobo since I was in second grade and this will be the very last time I ever get a thing from them. Very disappointed in this place. I wish I could give it less than one star it should be in the negative.
