Called in and was told they don't do reservations but they "have a list" (whatever that means). Was told that we could be seated in an hour. Upon arrival (12.35 PM) we learned that not only had the hostess input the name on the list incorrectly, but had set the time on the computer for 7.30pm. I called at 11.30 AM and was told I could be seated for 12.30 PM but was notified my table was ready at 1.10 PM... What is the point of calling? read more

Peanut Butter Cup Hot Chocolate was so scrumptious that I got whipped cream all over my face lol. Belgian waffles came with a little too much butter but it was still very good. The bathroom experience was amazing Peace out Girl Scout read more

This is a 5 star place for breakfast and coffee. Reason for 4 stars is it takes too long to get seated and for not offering dinner. Note: They have an amazing assortment of fresh coffees. read more

Yummy breakfast I will be back for more. Pancakes are on point so soft and better then IHOP.

I was to The Turning Point pre-Covid fo a small wedding shower. There were approximately 20 of us. They gave us our own section which was quite cozy. The food and service was great !!! read more

Out of this world Brunch. Best coffee ever. I love this place. Great Food and Super Service

I'm on the waitlist and just saw my place in line go from 10 parties ahead of me to 11 parties ahead of me! I love this place, but that is wrong. I may have to rethink coming here for lunch again read more

This place is the hype. So much hype that it typically ends up with you explaining to your out of town friend how great it is. Until you make the journey and end up sweating on the never ending line of no where to sit. Suddenly ihop didn't sound to bad and the jokes go all the way home with you. Food is decent though, very strange try to be different lineups that leave you asking is there anything normal on this menu. read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere and excellent service (thank you Jeff) !!!! One thing I really admire about this place is their variety of healthy food choices and real fresh tea leaves for your hot water. read more

It's been more than a year since my last review of The Turning Point and I'm extremely happy to say that it is fantastic, and consistently fantastic. My family and I have been back quite a few times over the past year and every time it has been excellent. From what I can tell there was a bit of a shake up in staff as I've seen new managers working. This was a much needed change. Every single time my family and I have been to the Turning Point over the past year it has been delicious and I haven't had to send a single dish back due to overcooked eggs or undercooked potatoes. The skillets are delicious and even more so when they are actually cooked correctly every single time I order them. The staff is very friendly, even under the stress of a fully packed weekend breakfast rush. I'll keep going back again and again! read more

Not your typical diner. Unique breakfast and lunch menu. Very, very carefully planned and prepared. Many levels of tastiness for the adventurous and plenty of options for everyone else. Quality, not quantity. Highly suggest the chicken and waffles. Service was lacking a slight bit, will chalk up to the summer crowd. read more

Food, as always, really good. But the place was dirty. Right off the bat, dirty front carpet. (Vacuum?) Seats were ripped. Crumbs on table. Table was wet, so placemat stuck to it and ripped. Service was ok I. Seemed rushed. For a place that was closed a couple minutes moths ago for a week, for "renovations ", I wonder what was renovated. read more

Everything we have ever had was awesome, favorites are the Wilbur skillet and cornbread French toast

A little on the expensive side for breakfast, however the food and service are always great. The corn bread French toast is delicious

Their outdoor dining is a refreshing break from reality. The service was great and the food fantastic. Thank you all for your commitment to excellence. read more

One of my favorite finds. Excellent food and service. Fantastic variety of breakfast and brunch items. Seasonal specials are awesome. Haven't made it there for lunch yet but the items look just as amazing as breakfast was. The variety of coffee and tea choices alone is reason enough to go. read more

Ok, writing with the afterglow of fluffy vegan pancakes smothered in toasted coconut with a very nice blueberry compote, fresh squeezed ok & french press coffee at the table. A must stop when in NJ. read more

Food is good but the hoat staff is horrible, I figured let me talk to a manager but that turned out to be wrost. Party of 5 told 20 mins or less waited 1.5 hour as manager sat bigger party's because "have to serve the bigger tables" Been coming to this location since opened and can't believe they gave me such a big F U read more

Was spending the weekend at the shore and decided based on the Yelp reviews to give this place a shot. It's tucked away in a strip mall so almost missed it! Was pleasant surprises on a Sunday morning to get a seat at the bar as many people were waiting outside to get in. Loved their iced coffee-big plus they offer you a to go cup and will top it off before you leave! I ordered the lobster Benedict. Serving of lobster was larger than expected and even had the claw meat and not just the tail! The bacon on it was a bit much but the cilantro and avocado made for a great breakfast! read more

Turning Point - The lobster Benedict!! Yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

Frozen hot chocalate is the best! Overcrowded. Maybe longer hours would be helpful to alleviate the wait time. read more

Love the food, dining area, and the staff ! Went to turning point for the first time a while ago. I was so stuffed but I still wanted more.

My daughter and I stopped in for the first time a couple weeks ago and everyone was so friendly. Manager stopped and chatted. Servers were wonderful. I think we will make it a part of our weekly day out each week. The food is outstanding and great price for what you get. read more

Cool breakfast and lunch spot. The menu stays fresh with combinations that are not always so traditional. I try to get something new every time and it's always very good. Portions are solid, sometimes pretty darn big, depending on the item. Prices are reasonable and the staff is pretty friendly. I definitely recommend checking out the specials because the always have great options on there. Two of the things I've really enjoyed were the chicken and waffles and the spicy sausage gravy. The chicken and waffles felt more like lunch than breakfast but it was outstanding. The spicy sausage gravy has great flavor, but it is not super thick or chunky. I'd love to see a chicken fried steak with the sausage gravy on the menu at some point. My wife likes the garden frittata and you can ask to add meat to it if you like. My mother-in-law always gets an omelette, so they must be pretty good as well. We used to have to go to the diners or IHOP every time we went out to breakfast with the in-laws. I'm glad this is the new go-to. Most people in the area have tried it by now, but if you haven't, stop waiting around! read more

Being new to the area, this was truly a refreshing place to visit. Beautiful french press coffee and a creatively yummy menu. I think this is a chain, so if you have any close to you, you must visit. I will definitely be coming back. Staff was super attentive and friendly as well. read more

Always come here but the service has gotten progressively worse. Waited probably fifteen minutes outside in the blazing sun for the waitress to take our check. Biggest waste of my time. read more

Loved this place. Really tasty food, and adorable coffee drinks. They have French pressed coffee for the table made to order. Which I think is a really neat touch! My new go to breakfast spot! read more

I've never been to the Turning Point but decided to stop on my way home from the shore. The decor and home like feel was very welcoming. Though crowded, staff was nice and the wait wasn't too long considering it was a busy Sunday morning. Our service was good and they had a large selection for breakfast. They had classic stuff like pancakes and waffles but also other selections like huevos rancheros and a few other types of eggs benedict. I definitely will go back next time I'm in the area or I'll opt to stop by one of their many other locations in NJ! read more

Service was great. Seriously..the kitchen made a few MINOR mistakes and the server went above and beyond to make it right for us..even though the mistakes were very small and we were fine with them! No complaints here and we will Definitely go back. Food was good too. read more

Just had breakfast and it's very good. I'm not big on breakfast foo-foo, but my other half wanted to go. I had the Jamaican French press coffee, the avocado toast and a scramble. We shared it and it was more than enough for two. I liked the Turning Point, the service was great, the food was good and the coffee was excellent. I wouldn't wait though on weekends or a long time though. read more

This place is the best place ever. Everything that I have tried always tastes great. The appetizer with cucumber and hummus tastes amazing. Also their drinks were very refreshing as well. They had a promotion (not sure if it is still going on) where if u take a photo of your food and post to instagram with their hashtag, you get a discount! read more

We stopped to grab a quick breakfast while our daughter was taking the SAT's about an hour from home. We were sat then greeted quickly. We ordered one of many choices of pressed coffee pots while we looked over the menu. It started getting busy and our waitress took some time to get back to take out order. She actually apologized and said she got "side tracked". It was very refreshing for a server to admit they took a little too long to get back but we were not mad bc we could see she was running around. Our press pot of heaven was then served including an hour glass timer and rock candy sticks to swirl in!! I ordered the avocado toast with two eggs and asked to add spinach. It was excellent-surprisingly seasoned well and very well thought out! My wife had the French toast which did not disappoint!!! We had not a complaint at all!!! When the waitress brought us the check she apologized again and informed my wife that she spoke to the manager and our meals taken off the bill. SHOCKED to say the least! As a restaurant owner and chef (which the waitress knew nothing about) all I can say is that was a pure classy move and customer service above and beyond. If you are in the Brick area it is well worth the stop!!! We may even make the hour ride again. read more

Hands down our favorite brunch spot. I absolutely love so many of their dishes (Big Easy Benedict, Key-west Shrimp omelette, French toast, huevos rancheros, Popeye skillet)! I've only ever not liked one thing (breakfast nachos). I go at least 2x per month. Definitely use Yelp and get on the waitlist. read more

Always good food and good service. Highly recommend. Food always fresh. Be prepared to wait at lunch time but well worth it.

The Turning Point is the premiere place to get breakfast or brunch. Specialty coffees, teas, and espressos; a wide range of creative breakfast foods; and a polite, attentive wait staff. read more

All of the food I've had here has been great! I'm a vegetarian and they have plenty of options for that. However I'm trying to transition to veganism and they don't have any allergen info on their menu. I couldn't tell which products contained milk/eggs other than the obvious ones like french toast and egg dishes. I ordered the fruit bruschetta and I'm not sure if the pita contained eggs or dairy but it was delicious. I think this is a great restaurant I just wish they would provide more of this info to customers! It could help not just vegans but people with food allergies too! read more

Stopped here on our way home from a long lacrosse tournament weekend. It was busy but all the employees were smiling and friendly. I ordered take out sandwiches and shakes- sooooo good! I highly recommend the Charlie! I will definitely be going back when in the area. read more

Has a Florida feel and an unusual breakfast menu . Excellent presentation and the French toast is awesome. Great service but get there early on the weekend. read more

The service gets worse every time we go, home fries were stale, tasted like they reheated them in the microwave, same thing with the bacon. Used to be one of my favorite places to go to, now everything is bland and tasteless read more

Walked in with family for a birthday celebration. Was waiting to be seated. The hostess was talking with a customer for a few minutes. Another lady walked in and my mom let her know nicely that we didn't put put our name yet. Customer was super rude then began to talk about us to the hostess and the hostess chatted with her too, looked at us and rolled her eyes. Super unprofessional, so disappointed with this experience. Seems like everyone knows each other here and takes who they know first before other customers read more
