    STUFFED 'SHROOMS
    Paloma D.

    I have no idea why these other locations keep shutting down. I hate chain restaurants but Houlihans is by far the freshest and best one out there. The Holmdel location is fantastic. My favorite waitress there takes such good care of us, the drinks are great and they even have one or two that are just for that location made by their bartender. The happy hours are great and I am never disappointed by the food. The bruschetta and the stuffed chicken breast are my go to favorites!

Staff were beyond friendly. Cons -- THE FOOD!! We had pork belly and duck confit appetizer. Pork belly was drenched in sauce and overcooked. Duck dish was good but was a spread and served with such a small amount of bread. Main courses -- presentation was terrible -- i ordered NY Strip with french fries and veggies. Hubby ordered jambalaya -- both dishes were served luke warm and looked as though they had been sitting. French fries were all tiny pieces as if they were at the bottom of the fryer. The steak was a poor cut. The jambalaya lacked flavor. The protein on the dish was all overcooked. Dessert THE Elvis -- sounded sooo delicious but was basically a spoonful of peanut butter. Even the ice cream they served with it could not drown out the overpowering peanut butter flavor. I did enjoy the cappuccino. We were there to celebrate my husband's birthday and he didn't even eat his meal. It was that bad. Sadly, one and done for us. I know they changed their menu so perhaps this is not their best lineup but I cannot forgive the terrible presentation. The price point for what they are presenting its insane.

My fiancé had a sour beer that tasted like sangria and I had a sour beer that was a take on mango sticky rice (such a unique beer). My fiancé had a fruity white lager that tasted a bit like a margarita. I had the patty melt with onion rings (up charge) and my fiancé had the steak sandwich with steak fries. Heads up their steak fries are actually potato wedge; still tasty but a pleasant surprised. Both of our sandwiches were delicious. The steak sandwich came with a delicious garlic aioli. Our server was great. She mentioned that a lot of their beer is from Icarus brewing in Lakewood and suggested we check it out. We don't live too close but if we're ever in the area we'll be sure to come back. A lot of the beers were calling my name. A great local place. It's located on a somewhat busy street with street parking but there's a municipal about a minute walk.

So, I got Jerk rice with beans. I got cabbage and sweet plantains, and let me tell you something 100 % delicious and with the curry sauce on the side, not too spicy. It was fire!! I can't say anything bad about this restaurant and I can't wait to try the curry goat......Even though I'm afraid to eat curry goat lol, The owner said, don't be afraid I make it really good. So I will be coming back... you better believe that. I hope you remember me. I'm the blonde girl that said she was afraid of food? Well, I'm not afraid of food anymore after eating your food LOL. By the way, your telephone number is not working. You have to fix that. I tried to call you to say thank you for a wonderful meal, but the phone number did not work. Other than that. Your restaurant is fire! So..... Everybody eat the food in At Jamrock in Keansburg new jersey.... It's delicious It's fire and i'm enjoying every darn bite. Xoxo Thank you. Jennifer muller

There was a smell of BBQ and curry in the air. I walked down the end of the parking lot and discovered Jamrock. I was not thinking about Jamaican food for dinner, but after smelling the food, I had to try some. I got the curry chicken, white rice, cabbage and corn on the cob. Wow the curry and cabbage were delicious. We also had a beef patty which was also good. I will definitely go back to try some more of their food and you should to.

    Yellow Rose Diner is exactly what I want from a local diner: friendly service, generous portions,…read moreand consistently good food. I grew up going to this diner and maybe it's bias, but this place will always hold a special place in my heart. I went here after my first concert, after my grandmother passed away we got dinner here, many life events happened here. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. The menu has plenty of options whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and everything we ordered came out fresh and flavorful. What really stands out is the neighborhood feel. It has that classic diner comfort that keeps people coming back, and it's easy to see why so many locals love it. This has quickly become one of my favorite diner spots in the area. I highly recommend checking it out, heading down to broad street then hitting a walk on the waterfront.

    This review is long over due but it's better late than never!…read moreMaybe in 2023, my boyfriend & I went to Yellow Rose. I ordered a cheesteak sandwich. The steak was practically all fat & grizzle. I was very disappointed also due to the fact that there was barely any meat on the sandwich. I said something to the server about the fatty meat but she didn't say anything. I should have opened my mouth & asked for something else. Also last year I had an omelet which was burnt. I should have sent that back as well. They also have an inferior brand of ketchup. Do you compromise inexpensive prices for quality of food??? Heinz ketchup is the ONLY KETCHUP TO HAVE IN A RESTAURANT. I also had a roast beef dinner (which was good) & chicken parm platter which was good too. If you want a good diner go to New Monmouth Diner in Middletown. Their food is the best & portions are huge. Also I have eaten in Hanger on 36 (breakfast) & they were good. I had poached eggs & they made them perfect. :) :)
