    First time ordering from here. Got the OMG sandwich which is a chicken parm with vodka sauce. The sandwich was a good portion size it was very filling. My bread was burnt a little on the top. It was very messy eating it but super delicious sandwich.

    Initially this location was supposed to be a coffee house, then they switched it up to an Italian eatery and am I glad they did. Growing up in NYC my Yelp reviews often complain about being a bread snob and not being able to get good bread "down the shore". BB did us all a favor, they import the bread, problem solved. My Wife and daughter decided to venture in. They have yet to do a grand opening and are understandably still working out some kinks. The main reason we went in is bc we saw on their Facebook page that they were making fresh mozzarella. We ordered: Sandwich #1 Roast beef, fresh mozzarella, brown gravy w salt and pepper Sandwich #2 Fried eggplant, fresh mozzarella, sun-dried peppers and balsamic drizzle Sandwich #3 Porketta, fresh mozzarella, balsamic drizzle All the sandwiches were amazing. Freshly made with fresh ingredients. What more can you ask for? The porchetta sandwich wound up being my favorite, I've been dying to try this for years and Breakin Bread did not disappoint. The flavors were clean and fresh and they paired with the fresh mozzarella so well, I didn't want to stop eating. The location is on the small size but not too small. They have pastries and cookies from many different bakeries. Fresh pastas, and hot dishes. They also have many Italian cold-cuts and I believe I did see a big coffee machine behind the counter. Prices are also fair and the place seemed nice and clean. The Owner / Workers were all pleasant and chatted with us a little while our sandwiches were being made. All in, I'm glad Breakin Bread opened, I wish them a world of luck and success. I look fwd to trying some of their other specialties. Apologies for the lack of pics, we started eating too fast.

    10/10 food, service and experience. Amazing sandwiches and the guy making them was the best part. Greeted us so cheerfully, told us the favorites, and helped us narrow down the choices. Try them out!!! I chose the #9! Mmmmm!!! Oh, AND, he also gave us a hot, FRESH chicken cutlet to try! Amazing.

    Huge delicious sandwiches. The OMG and Hoboken amazing. The bread is the best. They are pricy, but will feed you a couple of times. Fresh ingredients. A great addition to Toms River.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again these are the best sandwiches in the area and some of the best sandwiches I've had. The people that work there are always so nice and friendly. The shopis super cute and they even have pasta and sauce and other things for sale. Sandwiches are a little pricey but I do believe they are worth every penny. They are my go to!

    Absolutely Love EVERYTHING about this place! My husband brings subs home from Jersey city and these are just as good! The bread is amazing. Enough meat to buy an extra roll and make another sandwich! Great about special requests. Convenient pre made meals for only $8.99 to take to work of have in the fridge. Fresh mozzarella, long joys, eggplant rolatini that is perfectly crisp. And every single person that works there is beyond friendly & helpful!

    Sandwiches were awesome, definitely more than enough for 1 person. Bread was fresh and delicious, better than most local shops.

So when we needed a dinner location in the Brick, I figured we would try this location. Upon my early arrival, I was seated in the west facing room with ample natural light. There was only one other table of "early birds" nearby and they were loud but entertaining. Our waitress greeted me and brought some water and an ice bucket. I perused the menu while waiting for my friends. To my delight, this place is MUCH larger than Manahawkin. There are at least three rooms. Regardless, by the time we left, it was very busy. reservations are highly recommended. When my friends arrived, our waitress reviewed the menu additions. We decided on the oysters, octopus, arugula salad and the cod special. Everything was excellent. Service and pace were perfect. Plates promptly cleared, bread replentished. We shared a tiramisu and I had a double expresso. We will definitely return. I will take some photos on my next visit.

We all sat in one of the side rooms so the noise wouldn't be overbearing. Cara was an excellent experienced server. The entrées were excellent with the accompanying soups. The Buratta was tangy and sweet with raspberry sauce combined with arugula. They now can sell wines. Their sangria was nice and savory.

    We had an anniversary reservation @chef Justin's sunset keys in Lavalette just to try some place…read moredifferent . Well, they couldn't seat us even though reservation 2 months in advance!?! (Don't waste ur time) Came back over the bridge to the mainland and luckily our absolutely favorite restaurant was able to seat us without a reservation. It was around 8pm. Always a great experience from food, to service, to calm ambiance . Everything we ordered was off the specials menu & as always nothing disappointed. Starters-AMAZING crab cakes as well as chicken liver mousse (definitely a 1st for us to try but was absolutely fantastic!) on grilled crostini with apricot habanero jam--yum! Entrees-Asian style filet mignon which hubby crushed & pan cooked halibut which was tender & delicious. Thanks for another great anniversary dinner Rue! BYOB is a nice bonus

I looked through a lot of reviews and read between the lines , any bad ones really seemed to be on the reviewer their self. And luckily I was right. We ordered a little of everything. They even customized the clams to my dad's liking and gave him extra for his birthday. Usually there is one dish that is meh. But there wasn't. Each dish was better than the last! Our favorite standouts was the Clams Oreganata, the Tomahawk, Brussel Spouts, Crab Cakes, Salmon, and the Spicy Rigatoni. But mushrooms, Bouilbasse and everything else was still friggin amazing. Highly recommend. As my dad said at 90. I've been in NJ since I was in my 40s. This is the best restaurant I've had in the state.
