    Dining room very well decorated
    Camille G.

    Great Place!! Stopped here for lunch as I met the owner at a food show. The staff is very friendly. I placed my order and waited inside. I took a few pictures as I was very intrigued on how beautiful it was . Got my food and ate in right in my car!! Could not wait ! Great presentation ! I loved that it had lime, radishes, green sauce, and 3 filled beef hard shell tacos.. lettuce, sour cream ..etc I will definitely bring my family here for dinner on a nice summer night!!

    Came upon this place by Yelp reviews. This restaurant is located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking. Walked in and got seated quickly, decor is of a typical Mexican restaurant. husband and I started with mixed nachos oh so good! I had the mixed fajitas and my husband had the Snapper Veracruzano. Both are dishes were fantastic and great portions. I want to give a shout out to our great server Daniel he was great! The best part is this establishment is BYOB!!

    This was my first time visiting this place. The food was decent overall. I ordered a steak burrito--while the meat was flavorful, it had very few beans, and the tortilla was a bit too thick, which made it hard to really enjoy the filling. On the bright side, the rice was tasty, and the guacamole was also really good.

    We have gotten take out. Decided to give it a try in person. The place is very nice. Decent size dining room. Our waitress was super nice. Got the guacamole and chips. They were good. I ordered the Al pastor burrito. Tasty and a nice portion. I tried some of my daughters fajita. Also tasted good. I would come back

    Very lively restaurant! I was surprised by how busy it was. The service is pretty fast and the food was good too. I got veggie enchiladas and was able to have the zucchini removed which was nice. The complimentary chips were good but the salsa was puréed tomatoes from a can of seemed. I was not a fan of the taste.

    chimichanga

    The staff were very friendly, my waitress was very attentive and kind! & the restaurant looked beautiful. However, the food was not good. I ordered a carne asada chimichanga which tasted very...frozen like? The beans did not taste fresh, it tasted like it came straight from a can and had no seasoning. The rice was also flavorless and reminded me of minute made rice. The beef did not have a preferable taste. We were served salsa and chips as well which I would give a 1/10. The salsa tasted like straight marinara sauce. Not sure if they had run out that night but we were served marinara sauce instead of salsa. The chips were not good either. I'm not sure if they were made fresh but the texture and taste wasn't very good, maybe a bit undercooked. As for the plantains, they came out hot which was nice but it didn't have that soft texture throughout the bites I was hoping for. Overall, I didn't have a good experience with the food and flavors, I believe it was overpriced for the quality served. The staff and atmosphere were great though!

    Love this place! I go every often with friends and family. It has a very authentic taste, and I am in love with the fresh queso. I usually get the carne asada, but the chicken fajitas and the quesadillas are also super tasty. Service was speedy, and they give you a complementary chips and salsa. The restaurant is very cute and cozy. Gets pretty packed during dinner time so try to go early!

    Rice beans and guacamole

    I have been wanting to try this place for a long time because I can't really find good Mexican food in this part of New Jersey. This place did not disappoint! The inside is not that big but the tables are spaced out. They come out with chips and salsa for the table. The steak fajitas were good and were sizzling upon arrival. One thing I notice is that this place doesn't have their liquor license because I didn't see any alcoholic margaritas. They need to get that license because then this place would get busy!

    Chips & Salsa

    Stopped in on a recommendation from a friend, and I was happy we did. The service was very good and the restaurant was clean. I had the Carnitas burrito which was very tasty. I asked for No guacamole, crema or sour cream. I'm a plain Jane and was very happy with my meal. I had leftovers for the next day! My friend said she loved her chicken chimichanga and would order it again. They were very accommodating with my request for only rice instead of beans. I would definitely return.

    Complimentary Chips and salsa. The salsa had a thin tomato sauce consistency, but good flavor

    We came here on a Saturday night and did not need reservations. We ordered wings for an appetizer, and the shrimp tacos and steak enchilada. The wings were actually quite delicious! They were spicy and sweet, and very crunchy. I would recommend these wings to anyone who is a wing fan! As for the shrimp tacos and enchilada, they were both very mediocre. The shrimp taco was lacking flavor, and the enchilada did not have enough cheese. As well, the steak was over cooked and a bit chewy. They have outdoor seating, but it is very small, and you are basically in a parking lot. There are so many Mexican restaurants out there- I would make a pass on this one; unless you want really good wings!

    Grilled Skirt Steak Platter

    Favorite for Mexican, cannot go wrong with skirt steak or Fajita's. Enchilada is another favorite, must try the Tres leches cake can't miss. Service could be hot or miss we have our favorite servers. Ambiance is fine birthdays are fun celebrated a few with kids there. BYO

    Cuban Sandwich- what a beaut!

    MATAWAN: if you are chasing one of the largest beer selections in New Jersey, Maloney's Pub is the…read morespot and they now welcome leashed & friendly pups on their huge outdoor patio. Maloney's is legendary in the beer world. Over 125 taps, plus an ever‑changing lineup of drafts, cans, locals, imports, cider, mead, basically anything you can think of. Add in food specials, events, and you have got a must‑visit destination. Their outdoor space has two vibes: sunny seating right along the building, or the covered tent area for shade. Brie got her own water bowl and plenty of love from the staff, which always earns bonus points. The menu hits all the American‑style favorites: burgers, salads, flatbreads, appetizers, and hearty entrees, perfect for pairing with whatever you are sipping. This downtown Matawan staple has been going strong for 20+ years, this is the place to be.

    Brunch, Great Food & 125+ Drafts? Yes, Please!…read more We stopped at Maloney's Pub & Grill in downtown Matawan for brunch, and let me tell you... this was the best idea ever! The first thing that grabs your attention when you walk in is the massive lineup of draft beers. Maloney's is known for its incredible rotating draft selection, with more than 125 taps featuring everything from IPAs and stouts to ciders, meads, Belgian ales, German lagers, and more. And if you're staring at that wall of choices thinking, "How in the world am I supposed to choose?" -- no worries! They're happy to let you sample a beer before committing. Now THAT is my kind of place! The restaurant has a really comfortable setup with plenty of seating. You'll find booths that are perfect for a date night, an open dining room for larger groups, outdoor seating when the weather cooperates, and of course plenty of seats at the bar if you just want to grab a drink and relax. And while the beer selection is definitely a major attraction, the food deserves just as much attention. Their menu goes well beyond typical pub food, with steaks, seafood, burgers, sandwiches, salads and more. They also offer Sunday brunch from 12-3 p.m. What We Ordered: Steak & Eggs A nicely grilled NY sirloin served with two eggs and home-fried potatoes. A classic brunch combination done right. Chicken B.L.T.A. Grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado and ranch dressing. This was loaded with all the good stuff and packed with flavor. Salmon Piccata North Atlantic salmon fillet with lemon, capers and a white wine sauce, served with mashed potatoes. The lemon and caper combination really worked with the salmon. Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad Blackened ahi tuna over mixed greens with avocado, sesame seeds, red onion and a house lemon-herb vinaigrette. A great option if you're looking for something a little lighter without sacrificing flavor. Crispy Chipotle Chicken Sandwich Panko-crusted chicken breast with chipotle ranch spread, cheddar cheese, avocado, lettuce and tomato, served with tater tots. Crispy, creamy, cheesy and satisfying -- what's not to like? Everything came out hot, fresh and in a timely manner, which is exactly what you want when you're dining with a larger group ordering several different dishes. And honestly, just thinking about that meal has my mouth watering all over again! A special shout-out to our server Jeanette, who was fantastic. She was friendly, pleasant and attentive without hovering, checking on us throughout the meal and making sure we had everything we needed, including keeping those water glasses filled. Great service can make an already enjoyable meal that much better. Maloney's has been part of downtown Matawan since 2005, and I can definitely see why it has become a local destination. Whether you're stopping in for Sunday brunch, meeting friends for dinner, looking for a great burger or steak, or simply want to explore their enormous rotating beer selection, there's plenty here to keep you coming back. (maloneys⁠) If you're in the Matawan area and looking for a brunch spot with great food, a fun atmosphere and an unbelievable selection of drafts, put Maloney's on your list! We'll definitely be back -- next time, I'm exploring more of that beer list and trying something else from the menu!

    Great atmosphere, but unfortunately, the customer service left a lot to be desired…read more We asked if one of the TVs could be changed to the Jets preseason game. The bartender--a muscular, gym-bro type who already seemed completely uninterested in serving us--responded, "Nobody cares about that." Really? We're in New Jersey! No matter how much bad luck the Jets have had over the years, they have some of the most loyal fans around. They stick with their team no matter what. But this really isn't about the Jets. When customers are buying drinks and food and make a simple request, responding with "Nobody cares about that" is rude, dismissive, and completely unnecessary. Unfortunately, we've had poor service from this particular bartender every time we've been there. It has often felt like unless you fit a certain look--particularly the cute blondes at the bar--you don't get the same level of attention. But tonight's blatant disrespect was something I couldn't ignore. There are way too many places where I can spend my Friday night and my money to be made to feel like I'm bothering someone by simply asking a question. Probably our last time at JakeaBob's, which is disappointing because the atmosphere itself is great. But good atmosphere doesn't make up for being treated poorly. Nobody cares? Well, this customer did. And now you've lost one. Now asked 3 different bartenders for check still waiting 15 minutes later.

Came with my wife and son and sat 3 across right at the bar. Our friendly bartender/server, Priya promptly took our drink order and we decided to start off with a pitcher of Sangria and some Oyster Shooters, that came with vodka, fresh Canadian oysters, lemon and hot sauce, everything tasted amazing. We then proceeded to order some apps, a dozen more of the Canadian oysters as well as a Shrimp Cocktail. The oysters were so fresh and delicious and the shrimps were big and tasty. For our main courses, my wife ordered a Fried Combo platter of Cod and Scallops, mu son ordered the Fried Cod Sandwich and I ordered a Fried Combo platter with Fried Clams and Fried Flounder. Everything was so delicious, all the fish was fried perfectly and so tender and flaky, the scallops, not only were they fried perfectly and delicious, they were plentiful, at least 10 of them in my wife's platter and the fried clams were so good, so tender, I loved them. While we were eating I noticed our bartender had a tee shirt that said Keyport Fishery on the back, so I asked if they owned this spot as well, she said yes. Well that explained why everything was just so good, in fact I might have enjoyed the fish here even more. What a great spot this is, even the prices are reasonable. We will be coming here a lot, if I lived closer I'd come every day, LOL.

First time I had…read moretheir food was in July 2025 and it has stood the test of time having been the place I've eaten at the most in Aberdeen. Not only is the falafel crispy and well seasoned, spanakopita flaky and yummy, super combo gyro divine but they are an entirely family-run business. Although I usually order for takeout, the service is quick (orders are ready in 25 minutes) and organized. You'll see their son and daughter working the register or cooking in the back passing down the family tradition. Honestly the greatest Greek food I've had in a very long time! Evangelo and his wife Georgia have been in business for over 20 years. A testament to the quality of mom and pop shops. Has a diner feel that's very cozy. One time I even waited and had a full 20 minute conversation with Georgia when I even walked in and ordered on the spot. I haven't been for breakfast or lunch but I'm sure they won't disappoint!

I'm a huge fan of their soups, whether it be the chicken noodle, split pea, broccoli and cheese, or my personal favorite their lentil soup. The grape leaves are also a personal fav and I'm always ordering for pick up because it's on the way home and their always fast with my orders. Sometimes it gets really busy and you have to play phone tag to reach them, but that's ok, their worth the call back a few times before getting through. Highly recommend if you're in the area. The gyros and/or platter is also very good, my husband gets it all the time, just be sure to ask for the fries extra crispy, because then they're perfect.
