    Visit for a birthday brunch. Our server was awesome. This reminded me of a turning point. The food was good drink choices exotic breakfast items are limited for those who don't eat pork. Good time with the table wait.

    Nice cafe/restaurant with unique options. Food was fresh and we enjoyed our experience here. Great service.

    Side of Pork Roll

    First of all, this is more of an experience than an actual breakfast. You don't have to spend as much money as I did. People shouldn't complain about the price. This isn't a mom and pop diner. It's a gourmet novelty eating establishment. I love the decor and there is ample outside seating. Inside it has a warm and inviting kind of atmosphere. Someone I met at another establishment told me about this place and recommended it. I read some reviews that didn't look so great but I decided that I would ignore those because they seemed like a personal vendetta. I had to get blood work this morning and it was much further away than I thought because I booked at the wrong lab, but I decided to go anyway and I'm glad I did. At first the hostess was going to seat me towards the back, and I decided to move myself to a table by the window. They didn't have a problem with it, and a nice young man cleaned it off for me. So I'm looking at the specials and I see this cookie butter latte is a special of the month I immediately decide to get it. It had a Biscoff cookie in it! I also saw on the specials Challah French toast, which I believe is also a cookie butter theme with sliced bananas and ordered quickly so as not to look at the whole menu, and get caught up in paradox of choice. I normally use a lot of syrup, but I just used the small pitcher of syrup because the it didn't need more syrup. The portion is large, and the buttery glaze simply delectable. A delightful experience for the sweet tooth that is me. Just amazing, even the healthy banana slices. I also got a side of pork roll cooked just the way I like it. The combination of the sweet and salty of the pork roll and the freshness of the bananas,combined combined with the crumbled Biscoff cookies made for an incredible explosion of flavors. I can't believe I ate almost every last bite!There was a lot of whipped cream in the latte. I probably would've cut back on that a little bit and put more latte in there but still all in all an amazing experience. I will definitely be back. I will probably order less food next time. My servers name was Molly I believe, and she was quite pleasant. I I'll definitely be back with friends.

    U know when you just want it to be great and it's meh? That was our TS experience. A few things. Wife ordered eggs Benedict, hollandaise sauce was an odd color with a taste different than all other diner's sauces. English Mufffin underneath was rock hard, difficult to cut with a serrated knife, seriously. I ordered 2+2=4, 2 scrambled eggs with bacon, home fries and pancakes. The eggs were really good, bacon was cooked medium as I like but had a very oily taste. Potatoes and pancakes were forgettable. They were fine, could've been much better or worse I guess. The service was great. Decor / design is very cool. The food presentation was beautiful but the taste was just ok. Definitely not a place we'll go out of the way for. And the kicker was we ordered 2 clubs sodas (from fountain, not cans) we were charged $3.50 each for, really? I'm not cheap but what is this Yankee Stadium?

    Fat Elvis deliciousness!

    Always a wonderful experience at Taylor SAMs. The cute place, the great food and delicious food every time. Don't ever change your ways!!

    French toast

    Very very good food. They had some weird tiktok controversy but idc bc their food is great. The eggs Benedict is delicious , and the French toast is also fire. 10/10 experience. Nice place too

    Biscuit with pimiento cheese and fried chicken
    Jordan C.

    This place deserves a 10 out of 10 as far as I'm concerned! A lovely hidden gem that serves breakfast and lunch all day, I was in complete heaven when I found out, I could get pot roast for breakfast! But first coffee, I had the NJ transit and ask them to add whip cream. It was literally the most delicious thing I've ever drank. Then I got the southern biscuit, but instead of fried cauliflower, I asked for fried chicken, it came with an egg and pimento cheese absolutely amazing better than the ones I've had in the south! And then, for the main event was my pot roast, I literally have no words just truly amazing. My server, Rob insisted I had dessert, so I decided to go with the pistachio cake, super moist, and though I am not a lover pistachio, this made me a believer! Everything is scratch made to order so you can order anything you want and you will not be disappointed. Trust me I will be back to eat the entire rest of the menu!

    let's bowl and bravacado
    Joyce K.

    I had previously gotten lunch takeout from Taylor Sam's and would pass it all the time on the way to Ocean Medical Center. I was excited to finally dine in for Sunday brunch. The interior was larger than I expected and outdoor dining is available, but I did see some people waiting for a table during our meal. The interior is cute and the menu had many options. My boyfriend ordered the spicy mango lemonade and let's bowl, while i got the bravacado. The lemonade exceeded our expectation with its tajin rim and lime slices on top. The drink was refreshing and the right amount of sour and sweet in my opinion. It does require some mixing so that the mango syrup doesn't just sit on the bottom. The presentation of the food was beautiful and exceeded my expectations. My bravacado toast consisted of home fries and two sunny side up eggs on top of a bed of arugula and avocado toast. It was delicious. My only complaint was that I wish there was more avocado as it seemed that it was just avocado spread. My boyfriend's Let's Bowl was good, but had a couple more issues. He switched out chicken for shrimp, but this decision added an additional $4, but there were a total of four shrimp. He was given the option of either grilled or blackened, which was nice. The server also asked if he wanted avocado, which was an additional charge as well. Overall, we had a great time at Taylor Sam's and I would definitely recommend it if you're in Brick!

    This was my first time going here. A friend of mine lives in the area, so when I was looking up breakfast/brunch places and asked him about it, he immediately approved. I thought that was a good sign from the very beginning, lol. The food here ended up being pretty good. I ordered the avocado toast, and my friend ordered the prime. I liked my avocado toast, and the egg was made perfectly. Was it it beat avocado toast? No, but it was still good. This wasn't my friends first time here, and he said the prime never disappoints, so I assume it was good lol (he cleaned his plate, so it had to be. The fresh squeezed oj is very good. I'd recommend you try it if you're not in the mood for coffee. The service was pretty good. The people here are nice, and they've got a great little brunch vibe going on here. The only thing I didn't like is that they didn't seat you until all members of your party were present. They're very strict about it. All in all, for 2 OJ's, one prime, and an avocado toast, the bull was around $51 before tip. I definitely plan on coming back here, so you should come check it out.

    Latte
    Sandy J.

    Everything was excellent! I can see why they have such good reviews. We had lattes to start. Mine was a little cold but they brought me a new one right away. We all got the BLT egg option. I forgot what it was called but everything was delicious. Service was also very attentive and good especially for a busy restaurant.

    The directions on the Yelp site sent us to an abandoned building. Can someone update these so that people don't get lost?

    Yelp's directions persist in sending people there despite updates. Continue past the abandoned restaurant and up Highway 88 a bit more. You will see it

So when we needed a dinner location in the Brick, I figured we would try this location. Upon my early arrival, I was seated in the west facing room with ample natural light. There was only one other table of "early birds" nearby and they were loud but entertaining. Our waitress greeted me and brought some water and an ice bucket. I perused the menu while waiting for my friends. To my delight, this place is MUCH larger than Manahawkin. There are at least three rooms. Regardless, by the time we left, it was very busy. reservations are highly recommended. When my friends arrived, our waitress reviewed the menu additions. We decided on the oysters, octopus, arugula salad and the cod special. Everything was excellent. Service and pace were perfect. Plates promptly cleared, bread replentished. We shared a tiramisu and I had a double expresso. We will definitely return. I will take some photos on my next visit.

I ordered from Yasas by Michael Symon, a Mediterranean restaurant. So, when Wonder came to Brick, I had to visit. I went in yesterday. It is a very small space located in Brick Plaza. There are tables and chairs for ten people only (I counted in case I decide to return with friends). There is a one-person, large, accessible bathroom in the front as well. There is a rack for pickup orders and then places to order the food. The staff immediately approached me and asked if I needed help with anything. I noticed the staff did that for everyone who walked in. They showed people how to download the app and how to order. I decided to order from Yasas again for my mom and Hanu Poke, a poke bowl restaurant. Our bowls were both huge and packed with food. My mom did say she thought the chicken portion was small--she said the same thing in Middletown. However, the bowl was so packed that it was enough food. I loved my tofu poke bowl! Since I am vegan and gluten-free, I asked them about the sauce, and they showed me how to indicate my dietary restrictions on the app. I have nothing bad to say about this place. The bathroom was even spotless. I hope they continue to offer great service and great food.
