The combination of good food and excellent service make this a go-to place anytime of the year. Personally I'd rather go to small business owners who are compassionate in their craft and take time out to ask how the food was and talk a little about themselves and when they started their businesses. These are the backbone of our economy. Would I go back to Lenora's Cafe? That's for sure and try out more mouth-watering dishes anytime of the year!

I tried Lenora's for the first time over the weekend and I had an alright experience. I ended up…read moreordering the tingadilla -- a chicken quesadilla with avocado inside. The quesadilla itself was fine: the meat was juicy but could've used more flavor. We did order a side of guac which was pretty yummy. In terms of our dining experience, the place felt really cramped and it got loud very easily. Our waiter was very nice and brought out the food really quick. If I came back here, I'd likely try an item off the breakfast menu next time.

Every time I visited my friend in New Jersey, I passed by this place thinking, "How cute is this…read morestore?" I didn't even realize it was a small breakfast spot. One day, we finally decided to stop in for breakfast. The space is very cute and quaint, and they also have a small section selling snacks and little knickknacks. The way the place operates is a bit different, you serve yourself coffee, place your order deli-style, and pay upfront like a diner. They bring the food to your table, but there isn't much table service. It was slightly confusing at first, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. That said, it was a bit disappointing that the table wasn't clean. We had a baby with us, and when we wiped the table down, the baby wipe turned brown, not something you want to see. It may have been a busy moment, but cleanliness is still important.

In Colts Neck Township, you will find this store-and-diner after navigating a series of roads. I…read moredid not think I would include this as one of my trips, but I decided that I would come. Brand: 4/5 Colts Neck General Store is located in Colts Neck Township, which is initially a store that also acts as a diner. You will find many knickknacks throughout the walls and the ceilings. The red, barn-house walls definitely gives the store a classic look. The tall sign and the wall sign do have different fonts, with the tall sign having basic font while the wall sign had a more prestigious classic look. Wait Time: 5/5 I did not have any issues with the wait time, for it arrived on time. Ambiance: 5/5 As a store-and-diner, Colts Neck General Store has that unique appeal that I see in Monmouth County. You practically feel immersed into the small town appeal with classic rock playing over the radio at a tolerable volume. The food selection on their menu reflects the small town knickknack appeal, with its varying diversity. You will also find plenty of treats for sale near the counter. The dining area had plenty of space with wide tables, whether on their own or in the booths. Food: 4/5 I ordered the Aztec Specialty Omelet, consisting of jalapeno chips, fried onion, spinach, pepper jack. with a side of toast. Initially I ordered orange Juice, but also include a bottle of water considering the hot jalapeno chips and fried onions. Every well-cooked of the omelet definitely gives it a unique spin, though the buttered toast had an unassuming taste and crunch. The pepperjack cheese brings its hardy flavor to this flavor-packed dish. The Aztec Specialty Omelet held its form, even as I cut into it. Considering how Colts Neck General Store houses many unique knickknacks, I can definitely see how one of those items may have inspired this dish, for the Mexican influence has a pronounced presence. The time it took to prepare this dish accurately matched the waiting time, and the service behind it ensured that I received the meal with my choice of side dishes. The Aztec Specialty Omelet managed to satisfy for a little bit throughout the day. Service: 5/5 The staff managed to get my order without any issues, including asking me specific questions about which side dish I wanted. Based on first impressions, I will say that I felt accommodated while feeling immersed in a small town paradise. The wait time did not try my patience. I cannot say for certain whether the staff dust the knickknacks, but I will say that nothing about the ambiance irritated me, so I presume that they care for them. They also ensured the preparation of the menu items. Cost: 4/5 I will say that as a restaurant in Colts Neck Township, it did not become as expensive as expected. Driving across many varying roads, the arrival to such a unique eatery made the food worth it. I would definitely order differing menu items if I arrive in the future. I do think that having a website would help bring modern relevance to Colts Neck General Store without changing the restaurant itself. The wall sign better represents the store than the tall sign, and if the eatery did make a website, I hope it is used for the brand. Ultimately, the price of the Aztec Specialty Omelet and staying there was worth it. Rating: 4/5 Stars Right now, I will say that Colts Neck General Store has a niche presence in Colts Neck, with its unique ambiance and menu selection. I cannot say I would go back any time soon, but if so, I would enjoy any of the other menu items. Recommend To... Anyone looking for a diner with many knickknacks decorating its walls.

Hoagitos is one of my go-to spots in the area! My favorites are the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich,…read moreChipotle Chicken Sandwich, and the Double Smashburger. I'll occasionally get the Nashville Hot, but that one really packs a kick, so consider the warning, haha. I always order in person and they whip it up in a matter of minutes. I've never eaten in, but they have indoor and outdoor seating and always have some good indie/rock playing on the radio for those who want a sit-down meal. I've probably ordered here close to 100 times and have only have 2 order issues. I brought it to the management's attention the last time and they were super professional and took care of it ASAP. My only other gripe is that they don't have bleu cheese for the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Overall, 5 stars all day long, no doubt about it!

But we'll definitely still keep picking up our usual lunch sandwiches from Hoagitos for a long time coming.

I ordered a whole Italian sub sandwich, ham, salami, provolone, and the works. The owner, John waited on me. Even though it was a mundane choice, the sandwich was excellent plenty of meat. They didn't skimp on anything. Most sub sandwiches cost between 19 and $23. They also sell Philly cheesesteaks soups, salads, and other types of sandwiches for instance chicken, cutlet, breaded, eggplant, etc. all types of fries and chicken tenders. They say they're mozzarella is fresh homemade just like their baked bread. Nicely decorated interior not too much parking. Limited table space. I assume most of their business is takeout. They mention that they deliver.
