Cheese Burger and Fries
Steve S.

I recently came here to try out their lunch specials. I drive by this place often, and always see the sign outside on the highway that mentions their $9 lunch specials. So, my girlfriend and I stopped by on a weekday for some lunch. We got seated right away. Our waitress was very helpful too. The full menu looks good and offers lots of options. But this review is only based on the lunch menu and deals. For the prices, you can't beat that. A very nice selection of $9 lunches. I like that all come with fries too. We tried the cheeseburger one and the chicken blt one. They were both good. I enjoyed the chicken blt more of the two. But I really loved how cheap our lunch bill was. We will definitely be coming back for more lunches here. And I would like to try out some dinner meals too at some point.

The ambiance in this restaurant is very clean and wood laden. Nicole was our server. She was fantastic and gave us great recommendations. The food was delicious. I had the eggplant parmigiana sandwich. It was light and the tomato sauce was very good. We will be back.

Flounder with crabmeat stuffing!

Moved to Hazlet a few months ago, and have been frequenting this restaurant. So far, not disappointed. Food fresh and reminds me of my old neighborhood in SI, NY. Servers are great too!

buffet we had, it was okay nothing special. Mostly italian food we had. Service was okay too

Broccoli soup & salad - one included with meal (soup varies per day.) also, sangria which is fabulous!

Yesterday's is a large Italian restaurant in Hazlet, quite close to our house. We have gone to yesterday's for dinner, happy hour, and for larger occasions (repass and a birthday party.) yesterday's has a large private room and a back area for smaller events. Typically, I find the service to be hit or miss here- aside from the bartenders, who are always friendly and make a delicious drink. I will also state that whenever ordering "to go" meal here, I find their portions to be just as large and they're always made correctly, which is a big plus sign in my book personally. In terms of food, their menu is quite extensive. Something that I do feel is a less impressive point is that prior to Covid, yesterday's had an extensive salad bar included in all meals (which had salad, soup, mussels, and homemade rolls.) after Covid, this salad bar never reopened- but a soup and salad was still included in your meal. As of recently, only one is included with your meal (soup OR salad.) while I understand prices are raising all over, having portions taken away was disappointing nonetheless. For appetizers, we enjoy their homemade pizza and cheese fries! On a more positive note, their food portions here are large and their drinks are well made. Typically I get penne vodka and this is one of the only places I will get this. Their vodka sauce is creamy and delightful. (Personally, I get the vodka sauce on the side, because the portions are so large so I like the same quality when reheating.) Pro: large portions and creamy penne vodka!!! Con: no more salad bar Overall, yesterday's has a delicious Italian meal and a nice space for larger events.

Excellent Food and service. This place gives large portions and includes a soup OR a salad with your entree along with some biscuits. The bread was nice and hot and the salads were very fresh. My broiled stuffed flounder was out of this world and enough for two meals. A definite must!

Shrimp and broccoli in puff pastry. Side salad and a destroyed Cosmo!

Sorry, the food was so good that I forgot to stop and take the photos. This place is like walking into an episode of Cheers. The locals know each other's name and all of the staff as well. The menu includes regular bar food but then goes above and beyond with an amazing selection of authentic Italian cuisine that is very reasonably priced. If you are ever in this area, take a detour off of the parkway and enjoy a part of history and true neighborhood spirit.

Seafood is always fried fresh right in front of you. Service is good. Drinks heavy pour. :)read more

I can't say enough great things about this terrific new spot in Keansburg that's accessible off the…read moreboardwalk or Beachway Ave. Right off the bat you'll pick up a fun vibe when you walk in, a large wrap around bar was the highlight for us, but there are picnic tables surrounding it as well as some outdoor boardwalk seats as well. Came with my wife and son and sat 3 across right at the bar. Our friendly bartender/server, Priya promptly took our drink order and we decided to start off with a pitcher of Sangria and some Oyster Shooters, that came with vodka, fresh Canadian oysters, lemon and hot sauce, everything tasted amazing. We then proceeded to order some apps, a dozen more of the Canadian oysters as well as a Shrimp Cocktail. The oysters were so fresh and delicious and the shrimps were big and tasty. For our main courses, my wife ordered a Fried Combo platter of Cod and Scallops, mu son ordered the Fried Cod Sandwich and I ordered a Fried Combo platter with Fried Clams and Fried Flounder. Everything was so delicious, all the fish was fried perfectly and so tender and flaky, the scallops, not only were they fried perfectly and delicious, they were plentiful, at least 10 of them in my wife's platter and the fried clams were so good, so tender, I loved them. While we were eating I noticed our bartender had a tee shirt that said Keyport Fishery on the back, so I asked if they owned this spot as well, she said yes. Well that explained why everything was just so good, in fact I might have enjoyed the fish here even more. What a great spot this is, even the prices are reasonable. We will be coming here a lot, if I lived closer I'd come every day, LOL.
