Great breakfast selection, and friendly service. We sat outside, and they brought the dishes out to us. Highly recommended read more

This hands down is the best and perfectly cooked veggie omelette I've ever had. I didn't even miss the cheese that's how seasoned and delicious and the potatoes were perfectly seasoned too!! I feel like most places forget to season their potatoes but these were perfect!! Love going here and eating outside. The staff always comes out with extra napkins or to clean the tables etc. read more

Great local spot! My wife and I came yesterday for lunch. I got like a Rueben type sandwich with pastrami on rye toast and it was delicious. Super friendly staff. Def will come back for lunch or breakfast. read more

Love the sign about not letting stupid people in the back. But beware. Check your order closely before you leave. I just ordered a hogie with lettuce, onions and extra tomato. Salt, pepper and vinegar. Took out the sandwich to eat it. NO LETTUCE OR ONION! Who makes that sort of mistake. No lettuce? Disappointed. read more

my husband and I were leaving asbury and needed a quick breakfast. Stumbled across this place and man I'm so glad we did. These guys know how to make a classic egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. So tasty and they toast the bread which is a huge plus in my book!!! Our next vacation back to asbury well definitely be back. read more

Pork roll sandwich! House baked brownie! Very nice people. On a less busy street. Open on holidays.

Nice staff, however turkey burger ruined my entire night. Wasn't raw, just not very good, I know they make it fresh, but I have made better, felt more like a round kebab than a burger. Heavy on the salt, just left me feeling gross read more

Dj's is my go to spot in asbury for breakfast. Their food is always amazing & worth every penny. I am extremely picky and their veggie lovers boat is creative, healthy, & delicious. We have never had a bad meal here. Heads up they are a very small shop & gets a lot of online orders from the surrounding area so give yourself & them PLENTY of time. I've waited over an hour for food before (holiday weekend). read more

If it's a delight to wait for 30 minutes for your food in a half full restaurant, then definitely put Dj's on your list. We were looking for an alternative to toast which is always packed and also has glacial service. Unfortunately Dj's doesn't make the bucket list. Food was ok. Nothing terribly special. Wait staff was apologetic but basically said that food comes out of one kitchen in the deli so therefore we were behind a queue of takeout and delivery. Next door is kinda cute as a convenience store but not worth a special trip. read more

I love going to DJ's. It's our go-to place for our lunches...almost daily! DJ and Ron are always friendly and accommodating. The food is great! You can never go wrong with any of their soups. I also love their paninis and 'Ron special'! I highly recommend DJ's. Can't think of any reason not to order from DJ's! Delicious! read more

Anytime I am with my daughter near Asbury, this is our go to for breakfast. The classic egg and cheese on a hard roll is amazing!! Also, some of the smoothest coffee in town, seriously delicious. read more

DJ's Delights - American Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

My friends and I attended a wedding the night before, and were in desperate need of a breakfast sandwich. DJ's delights, was just as its namesake would suggest, delightful! Our sandwiches were tasty and we could not have had better service. We had DJ himself! He was super knowledgeable about every product, and each one had a story to tell. We also were sitting outside, and he even came out to check on us. What a super star! Would recommend if you want some quick, tasty food made with care. read more

Rude,Rude,Rude. When I first walk in I didn't know how I felt about a restaurant that sells food and deodorant and other things like that. Any ways they had rude service over priced food. Food was not worth the price . Food was okay but service was horrible. Employee had an attitude, no hello or goodbye. I will never come back, and I hope anyone reading this will never come. Pictures don't match on the website. No inside dining. read more

DJ's Delights - the outside of a restaurant - American Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Had a Christmas party catered from DJ's. We had trays of Chicken Parm. Eggplant Parm, Cavatelli with Broccoli, Penne alla Vodka, Stuffed Flounder, Baked Salmon, Steamed Veggies, and Chicken Wings. Everything was phenomenal! Everyone complemented the food. What was left, partygoers we're asking to bring home. The food isn't the only great thing though...DJ, Ron, Toni, and the rest of the staff are friendly, helpful, and take great pride in their work. Oh, and I might also add that we dropped our order on them LESS than a week before Christmas! If you are in Asbury and get a chance, stop by this awesome little Deli on Mattison! read more

Awesome! DJ and his team make the best food. Love their customers! Always a treat for my pup!

Dj's is a sweet little hidden away deli just off cookman. When you walk in it has a deli section and mini general store. They also have a fair sized dining / eating area on the other side of the store where we go to sit down to eat. We usually come here for breakfast and have always been delighted. Very sweet and funny staff. They are interactive warm and welcoming. You can also sit outside of the storefront which is nice. Always had a good meal here. Fruit Parfait was amazing!! It's worth checking out from the main stretch of town. Very reasonable meal. $10 person + :) read more

If you ever go to see wrestling at the convention center and get way more shimmed up then you planned, you're going to need to put something in your belly the next morning before the hour long drive home. We headed into the swanky side of Asbury Park to find coffee and food. We drove right by it and stopped a gay dude walking his dog and asked him where the spot was for breakfast in the AP. He pointed us down three doors to DJ's Delight. Now, I don't know if Asbury Park has a big gay community but this place had two big ole rainbow flags flying out front. If you're one of those types that is full of hate and can't appreciate two people finding each other to get through this whacky world together because they both have the same set up downstairs, then don't eat here. But once you're inside its not gay at all. You go into a deli area where deli type things are happening. The nice man with his dog was now inside and told us to walk through a door towards the back. We came upon a little grocery area. My man, we need coffee and grease. We don't need cleaning supplies and crackers. He kindly told us to go a little further til we emerged in a nice little dining room. From the looks of it, we thought we were about to eat a $22 breakfast. Then the lovely server brought us some menus and we saw it was priced nicely. Time to fix our hangovers. After about 2 seconds of reading the menu for the right weapon of choice to help us combat our poor decisions from the night before, we both noticed the Gut Buster. It's a bacon, egg, sausage and cheese. But whoa whoa whoa, that's not it. They throw on a friggin hash brown patty thing. Sweet mother of greasy hangover helper. This thing means business. It was the perfect combination of all our farm yard friends putting together their time and resources to help us in our time of need. Some even gave their lives. RIP and thank you. The home fries were also seasoned nicely and had the slightest kick to them. The only down side was the orange juice was freshly squeezed from a carton. I half thought this place might have had someone in the back squeezing oranges for my vitamin C pleasures. I think the 2 sandwiches, 2 coffees, 2 orders of hash browns, and a nice glass of OJ came to like $24. Hell, at that point it could have been &1,000,000 and I wouldn't have cared. On the way out I hit up a to go coffee for the ride. Careful!!! Those containers keep the coffee at about 600 degrees. I'm sure someone on here probably would have deducted a star point for that. Probably the person that said the owner wouldn't make the toast she ordered and threw her plate in the garbage and threatened to call the cops. I find that to be really far from the truth. And if it did happen, she probably left out the side of the story where she was acting a complete asshat of a fool over some toast. In conclusion, eat here! read more

DJ's Delights - Sweet beautiful coffee. - American Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Everything is excellent.... Except for the coffee. It tastes like the maxwell house that grandma makes in her 30 year old coffee maker. Change your coffee and you'll be a rival to all the breakfast hotspots in AP! Also, one particular waitress is really really REALLY loud when talking to other employees about her personal life. This might be ok when the DJ's is packed, but when there are only a couple of tables and I can barely hear the person across from me speaking because she is practically yelling about what she did last night and how many drinks she had, it kind of makes me want to sit outside... across the street. Excellent food though! read more

Had a party of six from DC and California. The Californian tried the pork roll NJ experience for the first time. We were very impressed with the accommodating wait staff Morgan for getting us seated and served quickly. We were on a tight schedule and had to run to catch a flight. The food was excellent and freshly prepared the way you like it. read more

Great food and friendly service. DJ does wonders in the kitchen, his Chili is outstanding and the homemade turkey burgers are to die for.

Friendliest owners, with good karma. Yummiest homemade apple pie. Next door to Taka restaurant. Went there for dessert after a meal at Taka. Can't wait to return and have what I know will be a satisfying meal there, followed by homemade dessert and accompanied by good karma. read more

Nice little place that I have gone to for lunch. Has a nice family feel to it & lots of food selections. There is a market side but also a dining area which is very comfortable. Nice that there are little mom & pop type places around to have a great meal! read more

DJ's Delights - a wet sidewalk in a small town - American Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

I was pleasantly surprised that they had gluten free bread! We went in for a causal lunch and the nice chef came out to talk to me since they had run out of shrimp and wanted to know what I wanted. I told her to surprise me and boy did she ever! I had an open faced beef and cheddar with grilled veggies it was delicious! Absolutely incredible service too! I should of asked his name but forgot. read more

Usually frequent here when I go down to the beach during summer time. The sandwiches are great (personally really love the Turkey, Bacon, Avocado Panini) and I the fried mac n cheese is crazy good! I always enjoy the atmosphere because the owner/chef is always on top of everything, provides great customer service, and even looks to get feedback to maintain or better any part of service. This is a place has always been worthy of coming back to for me. Thanks DJ's for the great food and hospitality when I am there in the summer time! read more

I've been here so many times and it is usually really great, except for the last 2 times. I think there is a new waitress and she wasn't that attentive to our table at all. We had to get up and ask for water, we had to get up and ask for more coffee, and she just didn't get it. She didn't have an off day because the last time I was there she did the same exact thing. The owner and chef is super nice we know him by name and face. He is really great! The food is usually superb (the last 2 times it wasn't that great, I have to admit). Man, I think I've come here for breakfast more than 10 times and 8 out 10 it was delicious, quite, and inexpensive. Some highlights: - Super friendly and approachable owner - Amazing chipotle sauce - Can't beat that big breakfast special on the skillet - They have these little glass coffee holders, that look like a little water bottle, that they bring to you when you want more coffee. They're so cute. They don't bring it to you all the time though - It's usually really quiet in there which I LOVE especially for breakfast - Most of the waitstaff are very knowledgeable and helpful, just that one girl wasn't. read more

Good little unassuming deli with super nice staff. Your basic sandwich done right and good place for quick egg and cheese sandwich. I have only taken to go but they have some seating. They sell other staples as well. read more

What else can be said about DJ's? Well, I have a few thoughts on the Chicken Salad. Like that they put craisins and WALNUTS in it. That it has mayonnaise but tastes light is impressive as well. These factors combined give it amazing texture! Sandwiches, hot dishes, and even a market if you need to pick up a few household items. These guys do it right in all phases, customer service is as good as the food. Go in more than 3 times and you will feel like a regular. If you are in Asbury Park then CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!! read more

Came here with friends for a simple breakfast. The restaurant itself is very cute with wooden tables and chairs and some booths. The decor had a nice "asbury" vibe with some cool kitschy pieces scattered throughout. We were greeted when we arrived and told we could sit wherever. The service was good, and the waitress checked in on our table a few times. We ordered the pancakes, two breakfast sandwiches, and an omelette. Everything was timely and delicious. Again, you have to hold the expectation that this is a simple breakfast joint and I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

Terrific! Made reservations for a party of 12 and everything was perfect! Food was fresh and delish. Good cup of coffee and dessert was out of this world! We will be back for sure. Thank you DJ for a wonderful day. read more

I have lived in AP for 3 years and just found this gem for weekend brunch. My husband wanted something different so we popped in and boy were we happy. He got the Buffalo chicken and a side of the chilli and cheese fries, which he loved. I got an omelet and home fries with rye toast! Everything was delish! Our waiter was super friendly and helped with our selections. It was so good that we went back the next weekend and the same fabulousness repeated itself. read more

Great breakfast place. Good food, fair price, nice people; what else ya want?!?! And they let ya substitute fresh fruit for home fries if you order eggs! read more

Great place for a breakfast sandwich. You really can't go wrong with anything on the breakfast menu. They literally make a perfectly constructed New Jersey breakfast sandwich on a roll - and they don't skimp on the egg, meat or cheese. Best in the area! read more

Great food, great service, great people! Awesome little spot in downtown Asbury- MUST TRY!!!!!

Cute little restaurant with friendly staff BUT they really haven't figured out how to execute on the restaurant side. Waited nearly 30 + min for a salad. Was told that the salad did not come out of the "grill" but rather from the deli and they had prioritized counter customers! Ummm not good. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Not only did it take them over an hour to even put some of our food on the table... Half of our dishes were missing food and the other half of the food was cold. When we complained to the waitress she said I'm sorry but we're busy. Which normally is not a big deal BUT when my mother went to complain to the owner and said excuse me she has her eggs for 20 minutes and still didn't get her toast can you make some toast for me please ? The owner said and I quote " I am not giving you toast right now I will make it when I'm ready so you might as well go sit down!" And threw her plate in the garbage. My mom went back to the table and said he just yelled at me. My father said to the waitress can you please get the owner he needs to apologize to my wife or we are leaving. The owner not only said I am not coming out but 2 minutes later came out and proceeded to call us all assholes, kicked us out of the diner and then called the cops because we didn't pay the bill for the food we didn't eat. This owner should be ashamed of himself. read more

Best bacon, egg and cheese sandwich EVER!!! I'm not even done eating it and I had to write a review. I'm taking a class close by on Saturday's for this month. I can't wait till next Saturday. read more

OMG, I feel like this is OUR place. We come here all the time.....there's a sandwich, which I do NOT eat anymore (lost 50 pounds recently) and it's called the BELLYBUSTER....it is SO good......turkey eggs cheese hashbrowns on a bun....delicious...and then I get an order of sweet potato fries! Amazing......it's what local business is all about! Love it. read more

DJ's is great! The food is always good-- no matter what we order. At first, we just went for breakfast which was good-- great egg, cheese & bacon sandwiches, really good omelets. Then we went for lunch-- OMG-- the turkey burger is INCREDIBLE and they won't tell us their secret ingredient! THen DINNERS! Whatever the specials are-- get them.... always amazing! How lucky to have this hidden 5 star restaurant that doesn't have a waiting list and we can bring out own bottle-- so a bonus plus! LOVE DJ's!!!! Shhh-- don't tell anyone. read more

Very nice and straight forward breakfast. Inexpensive but very good. The pancakes were fluffy and the egg sandwich was nice with pumpernickel toast. The drawback is the long wait. But at the beach it's expected. read more
