    Plain pancakes
    Tony P.

    So I met a date here for lunch on Friday, 5th of September. I've been to a couple different Turning Points, I like this location very much. It's conveniently located, the service and food were excellent. My date had French toast. She enjoyed it a lot and couldn't finish. I had the breakfast combo and a couple of pancakes. Absolutely delicious! Scrambled eggs, sausage, and potatoes all cooked just right. The coffee was very good. I love the open atmosphere in the dining area. Definitely will be back.

    Nashville Chicken Wrap & Chop Chop Salad
    Michael R.

    First time at a Turning Point location and it was a good experience! The coffee options are very unique and they were very generous with the amount they give you, even offering to go cups if you can't finish all of it. My nashville chicken wrap was really good and would get it again for sure, i wouldn't get the side of potatoes again though those were a little soggy. The chop chop salad was gigantic! Would definitely get again and the side mac and cheese was delicious. Overall this place was a great value, had friendly waiters and let us hang out for a while on a sunday morning so I would definitely go back or recommend to anyone in the area for brunch.

    The food was amazing and I love the chili and the staff were so kind and understanding. The feeling of the restaurant was very nice. It wasn't overpacked which made it nice and everything was so clean.

    Key West Shrimp Omelet
    Nora D.

    Came with my friends for brunch. I have a chai latte as you can see the mugs were massive !!! It took a good minute to that massive cup of goodness. I had the shrimp omelette with a side sals and toast. The shrimp omelette was missing a little flavor but was decent over all. They have so many options I would come back and try something else. Service as good a bit of a wait but once we were seated the food came swiftly. It's a quaint spot lots of light.

    This little restaurant in a strip mall has the best server I have had in a long time. She went above and beyond to care for us. The hot chocolate was super epic. She gave us a to go cup for the extra. (So nice) my cubian sandwich was absolutely delicious. It was served on a yummy fresh chabata bread. I loved the aoli as well. My lunch partner had a huge standerd breakfast and everything was great.

    Coffee - was like $3 for one cup of decaf ???

No, but it really is a-okay and curbed the hunger we worked up riding roller coasters for hours. The food follows a southern theme, but that mostly consists of fried chicken with a few different side options. I went with a two piece fried chicken meal, which comes with fries and a biscuit. When I asked if I could substitute fries for mashed potatoes with gravy, I got an eye roll and a hard "no" as a reply. Rude! Really not sure why this was the case since the mashed potatoes are actually cheaper than fries on the sides menu. I was allowed to get a side salad instead of fries, which consisted of wilted lettuce, cheese and croutons, and I ordered a side of mashed potatoes separately. The chicken was surprisingly crispy and flavorful on the outside and juicy on the inside. The mashed potatoes were of the standard bland boxed variety, and the biscuit was very dry and tough. Also, there are several signs outside the restaurant promising "cold beers" inside, but the cashier confirmed that no alcohol is sold here at all. The wrap-around porch that offers outside seating is a nice touch and is a relaxing spot for a break from all the coaster fun. And if your luck is anything like mine, this is also a great place to wait out the rain for an hour.

I ordered the Mom Burger, which is a Swiss burger topped with mushrooms on a brioche bun. It also came with a good portion of fries and a side of pickles. The burger itself was pretty solid -- good flavor and a satisfying size. At $16, the portion felt fair considering the amount of fries you get with it. One thing I noticed was an additional charge for sauces. I asked about it, and they explained that all their sauces are made in-house, which is why they charge $1 per sauce. Honestly, that makes sense when they're homemade. Now the star of the show for me was actually the drink. After looking over the menu a bit more, I decided to try the LA Metro coffee drink with almond milk. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but for $5.99, I have to say it was really good. Definitely something I'd order again. I also want to mention the customer service. The girl working at the counter was extremely nice -- probably some of the best customer service I've had in a while. She didn't rush anything, answered my questions, and was very professional and friendly. I asked about the specials, the cakes they offer, and even whether they were doing a St. Patrick's Day platter, which they are. Overall, it was a really good experience. Good food, great drink, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely recommend stopping by Taylor Sam's if you're in the area.

For me, he ordered a chicken fajita's with grilled chicken since I'm not a fan of blackened chicken. I was so excited to get my fajita. Whenever I have Mexican food, I usually order Fajita's. I have been on the hunt the past 6 months to find the best place for fajita's. I have been to many places in Brick, Toms River & Lakewood. Most of them have been a disappointment. While I don't want to say Sofia's was a disappointment, I will say I was not impressed. My client loved his fajita. He was very happy with his meal and will most likely order again. My food on the other hand had very little flavor. Like I said, my client ordered the chicken grilled because I'm not a fan of blackened. The onions and peppers were horrible. They were barely cooked so they were crispy. I understand not wanting them to cook so they get mushy but they shouldn't be raw which is basically what I received. The flavor was minimal as well. It wasn't terrible but it was only slight. Not flavorful like you would expect a fajita to taste. I think Sofia's is a bit overpriced for what you receive. My meal was nothing to write home about. Needless to say, I'm still on the hunt for a good fajita. I do want to point out that the 2 girls in the front were awesome. They greeted me with a smile and were very helpful. They were also grateful for the small tip I gave them. I tipped them what I had in my wallet. Sofia's is just ok. Nothing extraordinary. Nothing stood out other than the 2 employee's that I interacted with that day. While I am not going to discourage anybody from trying Sofia's, I'm not going to encourage either. Maybe the cook had a bad day. Maybe they were busy and I didn't realize it. (It was only 4:30 in the afternoon when I picked our meal up so it was still early). I'm not sure I'll be going back for a 2nd try at Sofia's. Once I'm disappointed, I tend to not do it again but you never know. My client paid for my meal and I'm grateful for that. My client and his neighbor enjoyed their meals so I'm grateful for that as well.

The chicken noodle soup tasted foul--almost as though the soup pot hadn't been properly cleaned between uses. My mother ordered a fruit cup with her meal, but the first thing they brought her was French fries. When they corrected the mistake, they brought out watermelon, pineapple, and banana slices. While the fruit itself would have been fine, the banana was already beginning to brown, which made it look particularly unappetizing. Unfortunately, the problems didn't stop there. The French toast was limp and undercooked, and the French fries were hot on the outside but cold in the middle. The experience was bad enough that we noticed another customer at a table across and diagonally from us take one bite of his burger, put it down, get up, and leave without eating any more. By the time we left, we hadn't been able to eat much of anything. We ended up stopping at McDonald's on the way home because we were still hungry and needed something we could actually eat. I understand that mistakes happen in restaurants, but this was far beyond a single mistake or an off dish. Nearly everything we ordered had a problem, and the overall quality was extremely disappointing. Based on this experience, I would not return.
