We were searching for a place to eat yesterday online. When I came across the committed pig. I…read morefigured why not give this place a shot. The menu looked quite interesting and what caught my attention was one of their burgers. They baked brie burger with bacon and fig preserve. Upon entering the establishment, we found it quite pleasant. The food was absolutely amazing. We all looked at each other and said we will definitely be back. The menu looked amazing as well with selections for breakfast with lemon ricotta, pancakes, and stuffed French toast which we will definitely have to give a try. The staff was on point and a tentative I give this establishment a 10 out of 10.

Although it wasn't very busy, service upstairs was fairly slow, and several nearby tables also seemed to be waiting a while for food or checks. For drinks, we ordered the Boardwalk Lemonade, which was sweet and refreshing, and their version of an Aperol Spritz, which had a beautiful presentation. My dad's Baked Brie Burger was delicious--the fig jam paired perfectly with it, and the waffle fries were fried to perfection. I ordered the Mr. Beautiful Burger, which tasted great at first. Unfortunately, I felt VERY sick almost immediately after eating. I can't say for certain what caused it, but since my dad didn't try my burger and felt fine after his meal, I suspect mine may not have been cooked properly. Despite that, I enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks, and overall experience. I'd definitely give this place another chance, though I'll skip the Mr. Beautiful Burger next time.

Along Wall Township, you will find this site of unapologetic bliss and gluttony behind an…read moreunassuming visage. Website: 5/5 It is easy to navigate, with many sections slowly coming to view as you scroll down the main page. It also had plenty of images of the food, enticing the viewer with utmost curiosity and craving. The menu items offer many selections with most of them having images representing them. Brand: 5/5 The entire aesthetic of SmokeHouse Grille relies on the appearance of an old-fashioned American grill. The interior especially evokes it, for the white-painted wooden walls, floors, and tables invite those looking for briskets. The pig is a recurring symbol throughout the establishment, since it represents the prevalence of briskets and pork products in the menu items. The staff mentioned that the SmokeHouse Grille's ideal first impressions would have an unassuming appearance, but surprise potential customers with their unusual food selection. Indeed, I can see how this could work for this establishment. Ambiance: 3/5 Despite having the appearance of a grill, there was definitely that eerie silence at some moments with no music playing over the radio. The benches where we sat did not feel readily fastened to the floor and I nearly fell off after adjusting myself a few times. The spaces between the tables definitely felt cramped. A silver-lining is that customers have an abundant option to eat outside where plenty of tables rest. Service: 5/5 The staff genuinely enjoyed her time working with the customers. Wait Time: 5/5 We experienced no delays waiting for our orders. Food: 5/5 I can say that pertaining to the Brand section, the hot dogs and the burgers definitely have unique twists to them. I expressed interest in the Mac Dog, which was essentially a course consisting of two hot dogs topped with macaroni and cheese with a side of French fries, with a side of peach tea. It had a well-cooked sausage and the mac-and-cheese topping solidified perfectly by maintaining heat while also not having a gooey intrusion upon my fingers. The buns held their form without disintegrating with every bite. The rich creaminess of the mac-and-cheese topping definitely complemented the spiciness of the hot dog sausage. Worth The Money?: 5/5 Although some of the menu items on the website did not have images, I nevertheless got a good idea of what to expect going in. If the SmokeHouse Grille found itself at some point when they could not make their food, they would default to Peruvian food, since the owner also owns the neighboring Perusa Peruvian Cuisine restaurant. I would be very interested to see traditional Peruvian foods with an American grill twist. I would also recommend giving the pig mascot a name. The relationship the SmokeHouse Grille has with the rest of the community is one that is based on the devotion of returning customers. Indeed, small businesses rely on this type of relationship and I would like to see it expand in the future. Pertaining to the unassuming appearance and unusual food, I can see how it could work, requiring a lot of word-of-mouth from returning customers. Also, if this unique aesthetic would work with music playing over the radio, then I would suggest classic rock along the lines of Chicago that appear old-fashioned in appearance, yet their songs have a variety of deep meanings. I will absolutely say that the food makes this establishment worth its price. The interior ambiance will not be a problem if you choose to eat outside. Rating: 5/5 Stars The average score rounded close to five out of five stars and I can definitely say that I have hope for the SmokeHouse Grille. Recommend To... Anyone enthralled to that unashamedly American brand of cheating food. American cuisine is rife with nutrient-negligent sludge packed with creamy, greasy flavor; might as well make it a part of you. I will not judge. I also recommend the SmokeHouse Grille to anyone who is either an extravert or knows someone who is, who will easily spread the word of this establishment to everyone they know.

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.

Either the quality slipped, or the pricing just doesn't match what you're getting anymore. Also--not to hate--but the customer service really threw me off. I stood at the pickup window around 9 p.m. while a group of Gen Z employees stared at me for a good five minutes instead of opening the window or simply telling me to come inside for my order. It felt rude and unnecessary. I've been rocking with Burger 25 for a long time, and it used to be one of my favorite burger spots. But last night, the experience just wasn't worth the effort.

If you want authentic Irish comfort food, St. Stephen's Green Publick House feels like you stepped…read moreright into a cozy pub in Ireland. We started with: Irish kettle chips--very addicting! Like nachos but they use kettle chips rather than tortilla chips. A baked Reuben dip (a special)--so cheesy and savory! A soft baked pretzel--perfect for sharing. Came with a spicy mustard! Then came the real Irish classics -- Irish sausage rolls--thick sausage wrapped in a pastry, a great comfort snack. Shepherds pie--a mix of ground beef and lamb. This was savory and perfect for a cold March day! Fish and chips--the BIGGEST fish ever and it was so light and battered well. And if you're a sandwich person, you have to try The Rail Bender which was a huge sandwich with mouthwatering beef brisket, and came with a savory au jus for dipping. For drinks, we went full Irish with their St. Paddy's day specials: Irish Lucky Charm, Irish Maid, and a Jameson Orange Creamsicle that tasted like dessert. If you're looking for the perfect spot to celebrate St. Patrick's Day all year round, this place absolutely delivers. The service was warm and friendly and was a welcoming place in Spring Lake!

Sandwiches had dried out meat like it sat too long in the fridge. Edible but kind of like they were stretching to make a profit. Keep that that theme in mind as they also charge a credit card fee. If you are willing to overlook the cut corners and additional fees, I guess it's better than eating pop tarts at home.

I can't believe I waited so long to come back to Harvest. What was I thinking ?…read more We went out for lunch to celebrate my friend's birthday and Harvest turned out to be a great choice! The location is a little further than we would normally travel, but it was worth it. I loved all the farm to table foods they have. They even nicely promote all the partners they use right on the wall of the restaurant, so you know where all your food comes from. Everyone loved their meals! I had the Thai chicken sandwich and it was so flavorful and delicious. It came with a side and I picked baked sweet potato wedges that were really good and so memorable that a week later I am still thinking about them. Other dishes ordered were the chicken salad and strawberry salad which my friends both enjoyed. Our server was very good and didn't rush us as we were just chatting up a storm. The restaurant suggests reservations which are a good idea, especially for dinner. I will definitely be back and can't wait to put Harvest on my restaurant rotation. Sorry no photos this time... the food was just so good and we were hungry!

We were hungry so decided to go for breakfast and coffee unfortunately the coffee was a big miss for us. Watered down, not much flavor and they were out of oat milk which we usually prefer. Luckily they took care of that for us which we appreciated. Now the food. Highly recommend! I got an egg white omelette. They were out of the home fries so substituted a hash brown. One in our party is gluten free so that was a bummer to know the home fries are gluten free and she could have had them if they were in stock. She got a burrito on a gluten free wrap which she loved. We also got breakfasts sandwiches, the bacon was awesome and perfectly well done and the patty melt with a fried egg added on which our friends devoured. They also got it Billy's way with syrup and sriracha which they loved. Definitely would come back. Our server was really sweet too.

The ambience is absolutely beautiful warm, inviting, and the perfect atmosphere whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a nice night out. I ordered the dry-aged bourbon ribeye, and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. It was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, like cutting through butter. The flavor was incredible, with the perfect balance of smoky richness and a subtle sweetness that made every bite unforgettable. What really made the evening special was our server, Mark. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu. His positive attitude and genuine hospitality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you get Mark as your server, you're lucky and guaranteed to have an excellent dining experience. To top it all off, we ordered the Chiro Bowl for dessert, and because it was my birthday, they surprised me by putting it on the house. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a perfect ending to an amazing meal. If you're looking for an outstanding steakhouse with incredible food, a beautiful atmosphere, and exceptional service, Butcher's Block is the place to go. I can't recommend it enough, and I'll definitely be coming back!

We don't come as often as we used to because yes it is pricey but I would much rather come here and have a special night with incredible service, food, and drinks than still spend over $100 at another restaurant and get average food. The Grand Tavern is unpretentious, welcoming, entrees offer sizable portions. I have NEVER left hungry. Main complaints I see are price - again, yes it's expensive but it's worth it. Also you can see the menu before you go, how do you not know what you're walking into?? Complaints about the burger. First of all the menu changes seasonally. There's no way their patty is frozen. Everything is FRESH AF. And yeah, American cheese is king on a burger. Again, it's on the menu what did you expect? This is a restaurant that has literally never disappointed. I will always save my pennies for a great night out here. Everyone's entitled to their opinion obviously but entitlement is a hell of a drug. Check out the menu and have a great night.
