Hit or miss! Some days I'll go in great service, nice portion of food. Next time I'll get 2 small pieces of turkey with my dinner. And, never go in 30 minutes or less before closing or be prepared for dagger eyes & to be treated like you did something horribly wrong. The 2 times I walked in 5:30pm(when they close at 6) you'd think I walked in 5:59! The women workers made it known they were ready to leave & I was annoying them by ordering a dinner. read more

I have wanted to come to Hinck's Turkey Farm for a while now. You will find this farm in Manasquan that manages to evolve with time. Brand: 5/5 Started in 1938, Hinck's Turkey Farm is located in Manasquan, with the turkey mascot as the most significant symbol of the establishment. You will find it on the website, on the establishment, and even on the tables. This works for the establishment, especially for a farm-and-diner. Website: 5/5 The theme, Elevate Perception, works for this website. The wood background gives the website a down-to-earth feel as you navigate it. You could find the images of the menu items in a gallery in the Products page, which I find a good presentation of what to expect. The website also brings you to the lengthy backstory of Hinck's Turkey Farm. Wait Time: 5/5 The staff prepared my order quickly without any issues. Ambiance: 4/5 The food behind the glass counters look well-prepared, though I hoped to find more inventory in the freezers, from the turkey patties to the turkey sausages. Classic rock plays throughout the establishment, getting you motivated throughout the day. The seats felt comfortable and the large tables had enough space between them, from the lone tables to the booth tables. When it comes to the menu selection, they revolve around turkey as the central ingredient, all of which look enticing, which helps keep the food within the eatery's brand. I also liked the personal touch of the cartoon magnets lined throughout the establishment. Food: 5/5 I ordered the Thanksgiving Day Sandwich, which consists of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce within hard roll buns, with a Hinck's Turkey Farm band of Black Cherry soda. The hearty turkey stuffing and the sweet cranberry sauce complement each other in this sandwich, making the turkey stuffing moist enough to eat. The gravy especially brings out the flavor. The buns managed to hold their forms, despite the moistness of the ingredients. Every part of the turkey stuffing had a well-cooked texture. The Thanksgiving Day Sandwich absolutely fits as the signature dish of Hinck's Turkey Farm, and I love how eateries have their own brand of soda. This, along with others, makes the images of the menu items convincing. Considering how the containers already contained heated, prepared food, the wait time did not need to be long, and the service clearly care about their food. The Thanksgiving Day Sandwich left me in a decent mood throughout the day, and makes it one of the greatest highlights of this review, alongside the brand. Service: 5/5 The staff managed to get my order without any issues or delays. Considering the number of them, they knew how to manage a continuous influx of patrons. As such, I had a good impressions with the service and the establishment itself, for it gave me hope that farms could evolve to include their own diners to stay relevant. Nothing about the service gave me reason to leave, for they handle the food with care. The service maintains transparency by informing visitors of their website about their ethical handling of the turkeys. Considering the size of the farm, it establishes a system of numerous staff performing many various tasks. One of which included refilling the containers whenever they became empty. Cost: 5/5 I take into account every aspect of this review when looking at the whether the farm is worth going there. Considering my travel through a highway, that makes me truly weigh on whether the experience was worth it. The service ensured that I was accommodated, the Thanksgiving Day Sandwich had a vibrant flavor, and the brand makes this farm stand out. My only personal suggestion is to include more turkey meat lots with 5+ individual turkey meat products in the freezers and less single packages. I would definitely want to try the other turkey men items should I return. I would consider the price ultimately worth it. Rating: 5/5 Stars Everything about Hinck's Turkey Farm works for it (and more) despite its supposedly limitations as a farm with a restaurant. I would absolutely consider Hinck's Turkey Farm my first choice. Recommend To... Anyone looking for a farm with its own restaurant that sources its own poultry, and has a brand unique enough to stand out. read more

I usually love this place. Today was different. Got there 2:15 on a Wednesday. Went to front and ordered a meal to eat in. Got my order and went to get a table. Only 2 tables being used. Took 3 tries to find a clean table. Looked clean until I sat down. Debris and cranberry sauce on tables. After sitting at 3rd table I saw no one come to clean tables in the 20 minutes I was there. Place was empty so they had time. Biggest issue was my meal of turkey meatloaf, corn, potatoes au gratin and Mac and cheese were all luke warm. Whatever heats them must have been off. I would still try again. Just a bad day for them. read more

Food is so fresh and plentiful. Staff does a great job in preparation and make a wonderful presentation of a food order. The place is so clean and the dining area is comfortable. read more

My family and I have been going to Hincks Turkey Farm since I was a kid. It's like Thanksgiving all year round! We usually stop by after a day at the beach and always get the turkey dinner, which comes with two sides. Portions are great, and the sides are the highlight--mac and cheese, stuffing, apple crisp, and sweet or regular potatoes are so delicious. The vegetables aren't my favorite, though. Service is decent and the interior hasn't changed much over the years, still decorated with turkey-themed decor. You order at the counter, and there's seating in the side room, though a lot of people do takeout. Prices are good for the portion sizes and quality. There's a farm next door that used to be a lot larger, but it's gotten smaller as houses have been built. There are still some goats, which is fun to see. I'd recommend Hincks Turkey Farm for a casual meal with that all-year-round Thanksgiving feel. read more

Hinck's Turkey Farm - The Individual Hot Dinner - Delis Near Me - Manasquan, New Jersey

We have been coming to Hinck's for so many years including an old location in Ocean Twp., which doesn't exist anymore. Yesterday was the first time I catered food from them and it was Easter. They didn't disappoint. It was more than enough food for 5 people and the mashed potatoes were so creamy, the turkey perfectly moist, the stuffing amazing as usual. The carrots were perfectly cooked but tasteless. I was warned there was no seasoning on it and it definitely needed something. It came with a can of cranberry sauce but I'd prefer their relish. The gravy is always delicious. It was $90 for everything which isn't bad considering I didn't put any labor into it. It was packed well and they provided a box for easy travel. I'll be ordering again! read more

This is a place that has great promise and in the past did deliver on it's promise but sadly no longer does. The food on two separate visits has been between cold and warm. It's to bad at one time the turkey dinners were great. Today everything is different. On the last two visits we were the youngest customers by a long shot and were 68. read more

Without question, this is the best turkey dinner for service, value and tastes I have ever gotten at a restaurant. They ladies serving everything up are all business but they have to be. The line is always to the door but moves quickly. One of the servers gave me a tip I will share: the turkey dinner comes with three sides and gravy for 15.50. Never make a rookie mistake like I did my first time here and get the cornbread as aside. The woman behind the counter the second time I went told me that the sides are 5.50 individually so I would make out better getting three real sides (which they pile on) and just buying the cornbread separately. She was right. I love this place. read more

Great place and taking food out for several years. Today I brought home the vegetable beef soup and some pre sliced turkey. My friend and I spent 6 hrs in the bathroom. The soup was just horrible! I'm shocked. Bacteria must have been high!! read more

Neat old fashioned little place. Mostly take out but there are a few tables where you can order at the counter and eat in. Got the thanksgiving sandwich. It was pretty good but not hot as I expected it to be. The stuffing was a little warm and the side of gravy a little warm to. The rest was cold. I think using the big roll takes away from the flavors but that's just me. It was ok. The food is all fresh. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this is all food that is on the more plainer less spicy side. They have lots of salads , potato, macaroni, turkey, tuna, Cole slaw, , there's a cold selection and a hot selection that had. Corn, Mac and cheese, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and a few other things .they have some fresh baked pies and cakes there as well. This place has been here forever so there's a reason for that. Go here and check it out for yourself. If you like thanksgiving flavors, you will like everything in here. You can pre order whole roasted pigs, turkey dinners to go. Don't wanna cook and have a bunch of family coming? Call this place or stop in! read more

See my review from 4 years ago. It's pretty much the same. The only difference is they do not have an ice machine anymore, does that matter? Well if you're eating in like I did and the beverages in the cooler are not that cold, there would be a minor problem. Obviously the prices are higher but a full turkey dinner goes for $12.75. Cheap and decent. read more

This place is a wow. Their food is so fresh and delicious -- and not only their turkeys! I got the thanksgiving feast sandwich, which has their fresh sliced turkey, cranberries, stuffing and gravy -- all homemade. The Turkey was super moist and even the cranberry sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Also their mac and cheese and mashed potatoes are super creamy and delicious. This place has been around forever, for good reason! read more

Delicious Turkey and they have all sorts of stuff but I would recommend all their food, especially the apple crisp

We purchased 4 different pot pies. They were all terrible. Flavorless, top crusts not even attached to the bottom.

I went here today and was beyond disappointed, two woman working behind the counter were so rude to me from the start. The one that made my wrap gave me the biggest attitude and while making my wrap goes "these wraps are awful" right in front of me, the other one who I asked a question to replied nastily "I don't really know how to describe a pickle to you" after I kindly asked what kind of pickles they had (wtf) lol I work in customer service so I really have no patience with rude workers, if you don't like working with people, don't! The wrap also was awful and made like she could care less, won't be back read more

Terrific place to pick up lunch, or for when you don't want to cook dinner. Sandwiches are well crafted, steam table food is way above average. Isn't it much easier to pick up one of their twice baked potatoes than go through the work yourself? Obviously anything turkey-centric is the way to go. Their Thanksgiving sandwich (forget what they call it) has its fans, but I stick with the turkey club. I doubt anyplace has fresher, moister turkey than Hinck's. Not cheap, but quality generally isn't! I'm a fan. read more

Placing our order for Thanksgiving fresh turkey so just HAD to try some turkey and ribs..YUM super moist, flavorful, perfect..we don't eat the carb-y or sugar laden stuff but wow every side looked great, sweet and regular potatoes, stuffing, gravy, beans, spinach and lots of salads. I am taking off a star because they add sugar to EVERYTHING, it is so unnecessary and makes eating there impossible for diabetics or keto/low carb eaters..we need choices too..they could make creamed spinach with no flour or sugar, cauliflower mac and cheese without flour and sugar, same with green beans..bet they would have more customers! read more

Great food. The Turkey salad is the best. Turkey dinners are alway wonderful. Service is always of high quality.

We have been ordering our Thanksgiving turkey from Hinck's since the year 2000. Expect a delicious old-school turkey that tastes like "turkey" (Boomers will know what I mean) rather than those mass-produced bland birds embedded with pop-up timers. Curiously, Hinck's frozen turkey pot pies tend to be a tad watery, unlike its fine chicken pot pies. Give a try to the pot roast pie, which is particularly savory. Over the years we have also enjoyed many a satisfying cafeteria-style lunch there. The sandwiches are fresh, tasty and substantial. Along with its daily lunch specials, the hot buffet offers some of those yummy side dishes like your grandma used to make (get those au gratin potatoes). Though it may be pricey, the meaty cold lobster salad is delightful. Take a look at the photos: Hinck's is not at all a fancy place, but it's pleasant to chow down in that homey knotty pine lunchroom. They keep the joint real clean, too. The staff is very nice. By the way, if you want to get a Hinck's turkey for Thanksgiving, better put in your order sometime in October. read more

Have driven past this place for many years & told my wife I really should try it. Well today I was going to bank in Wall & decided to give it a go... I had a Russian Turkey which was Turkey Swiss coleslaw & Russian dressing on rye. Excellent sandwich & service was pleasant.... Also bought a frozen Turkey Pot Pie to share with my wife.... Have to say glad I finally gave this place a try & it is not the last time I'll go there read more

Frankly, it's a little weird. All the charm of school cafeteria, but I've never had a better turkey sandwich. So good, I get nothing but mustard on it. Hand cut turkey - you can get light, dark or both on a selection of extremely fresh (but unexciting) bread choices. Store, dining room and bathroom is clean. Plenty of parking. Service is kind, but moves at its own pace. Place is usually packed with police, so don't come here if you're wanted. read more

Growing up in the area Hinks was a staple. I went there last night with my family and ordered the turkey breast dinner. It comes with 3-4 slices of turkey breast, macaroni and cheese, stuffing and mashed cauliflower. The turkey was dry and the gravy ontop was bland. They should add some rosemary or thyme. It would go a longgg way. Macaroni and Cheese was soupy...the cheese sauce is cheese "soup" with no flavor. It was quite disgusting. The stuffing is stovetop with some onions thrown in. Very mushy and overcooked. Looked like slop as they took ice cream scoops of it out. The mashed cauliflower was the best thing. It was cooked well and had decent buttery flavor but nothing spectacular whatsoever. I won't be back that's for sure. I'm very disappointed with the food here as it was such a good memory growing up. Such a shame... read more

Sorry but this place is just another establishment that is lost in time and living on its reputation of a bygone era. The only reason I'm giving them two stars and not one is the fond memories I have going back a couple of decades. Their sides as well as their selection of sweets is simply yuck. But the icing on the cake is that we could not eat the sliced turkey breast, when we got home, as it was so tough and chewy we tossed it in the garbage. Sad, but we will not be going back to Hink's again. read more

Great sandwiches and I love the pies and soups, but the sandwich combos really are the way to go. I was really surprised when my Sons girlfriend told us about this place while we were out looking for a farm to buy fresh turkey for the holidays. Really good service and the staff was pleasant even though they were packed with a line out the door. read more

This place is awesome!!!! And unknown for the most part unless you're a local. Super good homemade food!!! Their specialties are turkey based but everything else is great too!!! Have to have a hot open faced turkey sandwich with coleslaw and mac n cheese. To die for. Has a real home kind of feel to the food like your Grandmas cooking. Also, right next door is a petting zoo with goats cows chickens llamas pigs etc. a really nice afternoon is to have kick ass lunch then walk around the farm. If you have little kids, they'll love it. Highly recommend. read more

Not just turkeys! Hinck's guided me through my first "pig roast" order. From the phone-in order the staff explained what my options were and decisions needed to be made. I needed the pig delivered to a house near the beach in Manasquan. The roast pig was delivered on-time, it was dressed and surrounded by rice and other vegetables. Best of all: cooked perfectly. The pig was tender and tasty. Thanks, Hinck's! five pig stars! read more
