From the culinary minds behind Heirloom Kitchen, Lita, and Judy & Harry's, this unassuming spot offers a highbrow take on sandwich classics like the Tuna Melt, Meatball Parm, and Italian Beef. In addition to their standard menu, Abramzon and David regularly feature rotating specials and pop-ups from notable chefs. This review is about one of those. After an hour-long wait, I finally got my hands on Nini Nguyen's chicken bánh mì. With bread flown in from New Orleans' famed Dong Phuong bakery--crackly on the outside, pillowy on the inside--plus lemongrass-marinated chicken, crisp pickled veggies, mayo, and a hit of sambal, one bite instantly transported me back to my twenty-something expat days in Hanoi. Yes, it was $18, but for a sandwich that evoked that kind of nostalgia and flavor, it was worth every penny. To wash it down, I grabbed a glass of their iced Banana Bread Chai. If banana bread were a drink, this would be it; comforting, spiced, and borderline addictive. At $6 a glass, falling for their coffee program could become a dangerously delicious habit. Sure, this isn't your everyday lunch spot, but it's good to know that when the craving hits, I can swing by, splurge a little, and let my taste buds take a little vacation.

Today we got take out and I got the Chicken Bacon Ranch. If the Cubano was a 4, this was a 2. It should have been called Chicken Salad Bacon Ranch. Chicken was not cubed, it was shredded. Bacon was in bits instead of slices. Way too much sauce between the ranch and the Chipotle marinade. Chicken didn't seem seasoned. With that being said. I would probably go back because they have other interesting menu items plus it's 5 minutes from my house

Grown-up Tuna sandwich, which is minced raw ahi tuna with soy sriracha mayo and pickles on egg bread roll. This was the best tuna salad ever created and produced! This is basically tuna poke on a sandwich and we all loved it. We were upset when we were done! Should've ordered two. LOL. Seared tuna salad, which is seared tuna with pickled carrot, red onion and wasabi vinaigrette. We thought it was pretty good. The tuna was seared nicely. Hubs think they should have a lightly seared tuna sandwich, too! LOL Chicken salad sandwich, which is chicken salad on egg bread roll. Hubs said that this was good, too. Their rolls are really soft here. I asked if we could buy another roll but was told that we have to order another sandwich. The owner makes enough rolls for his sandwiches. We also ordered soup but forgot the name of it. I think it was carrot ginger and it wasn't bad. The owner was giving us little samples of all his soups, as soon as we walked in. Service was really friendly and patient. Will definitely return to try that tuna salad sandwich again!

The burgers are great, and the last time I tried their cheesesteak which normally comes with cherry peppers and red onion. I asked for it plain, and it was super delicious. Portion sizes are solid, and prices are reasonable considering the area. We actually ended up here because Pasta Volo -- one of my favorite spots in Asbury Park -- was closed that day. The Speakeatery made for a great backup. You order at the counter, and the service is decent. The space is long and narrow with some stool seating up front and more table and chair seating towards the back. The grill and kitchen are situated in the middle of the restaurant. The place only has indoor seating, which fits the speakeasy vibe nicely. Overall, I'd recommend The Speakeatery for breakfast or lunch when you're visiting Asbury Park for the day.

On Mother's Day Sunday, there were several groups waiting outside to be seated, so my boyfriend and I were concerned about the wait. Fortunately, they took our name and number down and ~10 minutes later, I received a text and we were seated! The inside is cutely decorated and nice and bright! The menu has many options and there was even a Mother's Day specials menu. We got the avocado toast and chicken sandwich with turkey bacon on the side and sweet potato fries substituted for normal fries. The food came out relatively quickly and everything looked delicious! The bread of the avocado toast was very thick and I could tell that fresh avocado was used and smashed for the toast! I do wish that the bread itself was toasted more and maybe with butter, but it was still delicious! The side salad was also refreshing but could use some dressing. Overall, I was happy with my avocado toast! My boyfriend enjoyed his chicken sandwich and noted that the chicken was juicy and the fries were good as well. We enjoyed our experience and would definitely come back! We noticed that a nearby mom received a complimentary compact mirror from the staff in celebration of mother's day which was cute.
