    Pretty big breakfast restaurant with a lot of breakfast options, and some lunch. Came in on a weekday so it wasn't overly busy but the service was something to be desired. The restaurant has an open kitchen so you can see the food. Unfortunately the staff was more worried about refilling the sugar packets than getting food out to the tables. Eventually one of the waitresses rallied the servers but there was no initiative. Most of the staff looked like high school or college kids. The food wasn't bad, I enjoyed the chicken sausage but the service was a turn off.

    Power Trip Omelet. JUST eggs omelet with Beyond Breakfast Sausage, avocado, black beans, peppers, onions & Cilantro and breakfast potatoes.

    One of my favorite Turning Points of many TP franchises in the Central Jersey area. The food is consistently good, service is good and the atmosphere is styled like all the others, welcoming and warm. A stable menu has all the classics and options for different dietary lifestyle's albeit vegan, vegetarian, keto or paleo. Ask and they can accommodate. New seasonal items periodically make its way to the menu and are definitely worth a try. No complaints about their coffees. The Turning Point is my go to for brunch. I've tried various other brunch places and without fail, TP excels. It's consistent. That's all I want.

    Roadhouse Bacon Stack
    Jon D.

    I went here for Sunday brunch and got the unlimited coffee, roadhouse bacon stack, lemon blueberry pancakes, and the Nashville hot chicken wrap. I heard a lot of great reviews of the turning point but for me the food was disappointing and underwhelming. The roadhouse bacon stack tasted how it looked - some bacon between 3 lightly toasted pieces of bread. Really nothing special. The lemon blueberry pancakes had hardly any lemon flavor at all and it lacked any real flavor. The Nashville hot chicken wrap was not 'hot' or spicy at all, more like a sweet teriyaki taste.. The saving grace was the service, we had a great waiter who made sure we had everything we needed - hot sauce, refills on coffee and water. During Sunday brunch, my party of 2 took 30 mins to get seated. It seems like a long time but once you give your name to the hostess, you can walk over to Home Goods and Marshalls and they'll text you once the tables ready. Overall, good service but mid food.

    Costa rican french press. Fantastic
    Rob C.

    Such a cool spot. The food is super fresh and tasty. The french press coffee was so good. My only complaint was i really wish the food came out slightly hotter. Everything was just mildly warm. Waffle was fantastic but on the cooler side. Avocado toast is great i just wish the toast was slightly crunchier. You have to try this place. The ambiance and vibe here is so laid back and the staff is super sweet.

    I went here with a couple others for brunch. I enjoyed the vibe of this place along with the decor. The waitress was very polite, however she did forget one of the dishes. While this was unfortunate, the food tasted good and I enjoyed everything except the hot honey glaze. Overall, I would recommend.

    Wilbur Skillet
    Tracy T.

    Great breakfast/brunch spot! We went at an off time so we got seated pretty quickly though the parking lot does get full quickly. The menu has a good amount of options for both breakfast and lunch items. I ordered the Wilbur Skillet with sourdough bread which was good! While the portion looks small, it does get filling with the combination of the potatoes and other toppings. I would definitely come back to try something else on the menu.

    Avocado smeared on the placement from the bottom of my clean dish.

    Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. The food was mediocre at best, and the veggie soup tasted institutional, like hospital cafeteria food. The cubano sandwich was decent, but that was all. There was avocado on the bottom of my plate (I didn't order anything with avocado). My seltzer had a musty moldy taste. The server was very nice, but obviously overwhelmed.

    Western Omelet
    Kelly P.

    I have been here a couple times and the food was very good! Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. My friend is gluten free and was disappointed they didn't have any gluten free pancakes. Overall, I would recommend this place just be mindful there is sometimes a wait.

    Always a great option for brunch, nice and light ambiance, great options in food and drinks. Food is great and milkshakes are awesome. Waiting time is the only minus but totally understandable because of Covid restrictions. Will come back

    Mike B.

    Pancakes were good and so was the delicious cinnamon rolls! The avocado toast with eggs was unfortunately ice cold! But the waitress was nice and the manager took the toast off the bill! The place with the fireplace is always warm and inviting. Even though the avacado toast was cold I still will go back there because they did the right thing in taking it off the bill and that was the first time I ever had a bad meal there. With say that I will be returning.

    French toast

    Food was great, definitely will be back. Awesome breakfast/brunch spot. My daughter was a huge fan of the little brown potatoes. For me, the chicken and waffles were delicious.

    Bacon w/Apple Lollipops

    Since I wanted a healthy start to the New Year (been having one too many milk teas and my waistline is paying for it), I scan the menu for something light. The Mini Crossfit Kale Omelet (egg whites, kale, broccoli, mushrooms, caramelized onions with a side of three thinly sliced turkey bacon strips and one Power 7 Grain Wheat flapjack) caught my eye. My 19 year old son shutters at my "HEALTHY" choice. The words diet and health food has never been uttered when I was growing up. We always ate what we wanted but in moderation. To my surprise, everything was tasty and seasoned well. Healthier dishes can taste good. I especially enjoyed the wheat pancake with rolled oats. We had an apple from an appetizer and I sliced some onto my pancake. I have OCD so my eyes be bugging at all the dishwasher stains on the mugs, glassware, pitchers, utensils. The edge of table was sticky too. There was even syrup on one the menus. Thus the less 1-star rating. Our server, Erin, was super friendly and attentive. I enjoyed the food here more than their Princeton location which I had given a 1-star rating.

The mini pancakes were so fresh, warm and fluffy while the s'mores toppings of chocolate sauce, graham cracker crumble and toasted marshmallow were great additions. It was super quick to order and the lady was able to whip it up fairly quickly. They also do provide options to make your own as well! Although they don't provide seating directly, there are some table and chairs available right next to it that you can use to enjoy the fresh pancakes! It's located within an intersection of the mall so there's ample room! If you're craving something sweet, definitely check them out!

Highly recommend as grab-and-go dessert snack for after lunch. The staff was super helpful as well and patient with all my questions.

Our first visit was so positive that I specifically requested to sit with Nick again, and I'm so glad I did. I even brought my twin brother so we could enjoy a special birthday breakfast together, and Nick helped make it truly memorable. Nick is an outstanding waiter--friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. He made us feel welcomed from the moment we sat down and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His positive attitude and attention to detail really elevated the entire experience and made our birthday celebration feel extra special. Because of how wonderful this visit was, we will absolutely be back, and not just by ourselves--we'll be bringing friends and encouraging family members and others to visit as well. The Skillet Restaurant has earned lifelong customers, and Nick is a huge reason why. Highly recommend both the restaurant and asking for Nick if you want an exceptional dining experience!

    Came to the Skillet yesterday after a beautiful morning in Asbury Park , glad we opted to eat here…read more! We were seated immediately upon arrival (party of 4 at 11:15 on a Saturday!) and ordered a variety of menu options. Loved the variety of the menu , there was truly something for everyone's taste ! The Lemon Orange ricotta pancake was phenomenal and I love that they offer a single pancake (plain or specialty!) as a side so you can have your sweet treat post meal - more places should do this! The Fried rice under the coconut shrimp wasn't cooked super well; this was probably the most disappointing menu item. Their iced coffee can also be ordered to go; I had a black iced coffee so not much to review but the coffee itself was tasty! Loved the decor of the restaurant but it was very noisy and chaotic. Need something to absorb the noise to make for a much nicer experience. Overall definitely would return, especially if eating outside on a warmer day!

Definitely not 90 mins.. My daughter just had to have Brownstone. The worst part of the wait was their system. They do not notify you by text or restaurant pager. They come to the door and yell out a name. If you miss hearing your name or they mispronounced your name, they pass you by. That's crazy considering the amount of names they get and the house doesn't pronounce it correctly The food: All of our order was VERY good. Only complaint. My skirt steak was cooked well, not medium well. But it was not over cooked. Was still tender and delicious. If you can't tell by all the photos. We took a lot of food home. The waitress was really attentive. But it looked like all the staff was attentive. Not over bearing at all. Super busy place. And they only take 1st come, 1st call. But make a waiting list as it gets crowded. The seating was a little tight. And that was throughout the place. Nice menu selections. So we'll be back to try few other items. Clean restrooms which are a plus for me. DEFINITELY would recommend this place.
