Al's Luncheonette is a friendly neighborhood spot in Manalapan that's worth checking out. It has a…read morecomfortable, old-school feel that gives it a lot of character. The service was quick and welcoming, and everyone made us feel at ease right away. The food was tasty and came out hot and fresh. Nothing fancy, just good, solid cooking done well. Portions were generous without being over the top, and everything we tried was good. My son got the French toast special which comes with 2 eggs, 2 bacon. Sausage and hash browns. He took on the challenge and tried to finish the plate but he simply couldn't. It's the kind of place that feels familiar, even if it's your first time there. Simple, friendly, and reliable--just what you want from a local luncheonette. I'll definitely be stopping back in the next time I'm in town.

Hubs and I were looking for a breakfast place to go to that we haven't been and we found this…read moreplace through Yelp. After reading the reviews, we decided to check it out. There was a slight wait when we arrived , but we got seated almost immediately. Hubs ordered the Englishtown skillet, which has peppers, onion, potatoes, mushroom, broccoli, scramble, cheddar jack cheese. He said that this is one of the better skillets that he's had so far. It isn't frozen potatoes tossed in there. Hubs said that they put in so many vegetables that he didn't know what kind of potatoes they used. He was very happy with it. LOL. I ordered the 3 Golden brown griddle cakes with 2 eggs over easy. I liked it and this is my usual go to. But, hubs thought that it could be a little bit better. Service was quick and friendly. Will return to try other items on the menu.

It barely had any goat cheese, walnuts, or cranberries either. Today I came in and not only was the salad half the portion size, but the bread they gave me was stale as a rock! It was extremely disappointing since they always served fresh delicious bread and made one of the best salads. Somewhere down the line I'll give it another shot, but no time soon. I left hungry and had to get food elsewhere. I can't recommend this place anymore.

The portion sizes are generous and easily sharable. Orders arrive within a timely manner. And prices are pretty consistent with competitors.

It is an authentic Italian restaurant and definitely deserves some recognition. There are also nice decorations around the space, a flower and candle on the table, etc., and we came on a night when they were having a large birthday party so we got to hear some live music performances during dinner. The staff is all very friendly & so helpful with menu suggestions and questions, even on a busy night. I believe the owner came over and checked on us twice on top of our server, which is always a very nice touch! Apart from the great service, the food was outstanding! We started with the burrata and it was amazing - so creamy and tasty. That and the combination of tomatoes, arugula, and bread with balsamic was divine. We did not leave any crumbs! Their bread basket was delicious, and man, the pesto gnocchi was absolutely phenomenal!! It was perfectly flavored and home-made. The gnocchi was soft and pillowy, just the way gnocchi should be. It transported me to Italy. :) The pesto tasted so fresh and herby, and it was just the perfect dish. Highly suggest the gnocchi al pesto! The vodka pizza was also to die for. The sauce was perfectly creamy and the crust was crispy from their nice brick oven. Such a good pie!! We were so stuffed, I wish we had room for dessert but we will definitely be back to try more!! Great place to check out.

When I walked inside, I saw so many delicious looking options inside the deli case. I had a difficult time deciding but ultimately went with a Corned Beef and Pastrami Combo. The sandwich was huge (I split it with my mom) and the meat was super tender. The rye bread was super soft and pillowy. I was really happy with my choice. There's some diner-style seating inside but we were in a bit of a rush so we took our food to go. Service was really friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back if I am in the area and would love to try some of their other dishes. Corned Beef and Pastrami Combo: 5/5

I mean, who would go to an Italian market to ask for something other than premium Italian cuisine & delicacies am I right? Well apparently my black ass because the cute blond Caucasian girl behind the counter thought it was wise to ask me completely randomly "Ummm sirrr did you order the fried chicken & grilled chicken"??? SWEAR I'm not lying and you can't make that up. I ordered probably one of the most Jersey White Italian dude sandwiches of all time with sliced Mozzarella on it . Why you asking me if I ordered fried chicken at an Italian Market?! Was it because I was the only brother in there? Lmfao it's honestly just more funny than insulting just wanted to share this experience. The sandwich was pretty decent however. They told me they make their roast beef in house which was nice. I'd possibly return to try something else. Just cool it with the stubble context racism & teach proper customer service educate to the youth in there.
