Pop's Breakfast
Robert S.

Within a stone plaza, you will find the treasure of Colts Neck Township. Website: 10/10 It was perfectly functional with plenty of options to follow without overwhelming any visitors in terms of aesthetics or functionality. They also provide plenty of images of the food they serve. I could easily understand the categories to order online, and the Bare Necessities option was a cute addition as it offered more minimal yet nutrient dense meals. Brand: 10/10 Pertaining to brand, I will say that Colts Neck Eatery exemplifies the township in a wholesome way while maintaining a simple green-white color scheme. You will find plenty of horse canvas paintings throughout the establishment, along with other farming symbols since the horse is an important symbol to Colts Neck Township. Indeed, the small town diner aesthetics proliferate in a welcoming manner. Ambiance: 9/10 Situated within an old-fashioned, cobblestone plaza, the Colts Neck Eatery uses location with utmost advantage. The ambiance has contained chaos during the noon rush. Just like the sign lettering with the rounded corners within a standardized font, the eatery effuses a come-as-you-are atmosphere. Nonetheless, it never got too noisy. Our booth had plenty of space, despite the slightly cramped establishment. Service: 10/10 The waitress managed to get our orders without trouble, and was amicable enough to start a conversation. A minor problem occurred with our orders which they immediately resolved. They also accommodated us with separate receipts for us to keep. Wait Time: 10/10 Despite an increasing number of patrons, we did not wait too long for our orders. Furthermore, no interruptions occurred while waiting. Taking the chance to expand upon my writing, I managed to do so while also planning ahead when I never thought I would. Food: 8/10 Despite the pricey food and beverages, I ordered the signature course--Pop's Breakfast. It consists of two eggs, two sausage links, two potato pancakes, two bacon strips, four buttered toasts, and a side of apple sauce, with water. They also included sour cream, grape jam, and strawberry jam. Clearly, I can see how this breakfast would satisfy anyone's Pop, for it filled me up throughout the day with the right amount of meats, potatoes, and bread. With the exception of the eggs, the rest of the meal was well-cooked. The potato pancakes had a warm, fluffy texture to it, and they cooled with every application of sour cream. The bacon had the right amount of crisp. I did not expect the apple sauce to have a heated crispiness to it, nonetheless I found the taste satisfying. Comes Together Well?: 10/10 Nothing seems out of place, for the aesthetics, the food, and the ambiance tie together well. Colts Neck Eatery lives up the the name of the township, as though the diner is itself the township encapsulated. Placed within the right spot with a welcoming shade, the establishment would bestow regret upon those who never entered earlier. Location always provides indirect advertisement via all the senses, while standard advertisement relies on simply the sight. The food, as well-accommodating as the establishment, can provide a filling experience. It would seem, from the paintings to the menu itself, the horse is a major symbol. As such, I express curiosity as to how the horse might be added to the logo should they ever change the sign. Rating: 5/5 Stars Given the choice approximating between four or five stars, I ultimately chose five stars. I hope that this establishment continues to last and represent Colts Neck Township. Recommend To... Any families looking for a place to eat and even celebrate while also buying local. The family-friendly atmosphere provides accommodation to everyone of all ages. I also recommend the Colts Neck Eatery to those who want to walk there on a stone plaza, for walking along the same concrete pathways repeatedly can be a disillusioning experience. If any eatery can sell an experience, Colts Neck Eatery would do so.

Meat Lover's Skillet
Barry H.

This place is located in the former Perkins chain restaurant. When we mentioned we had been there when it was Perkins our waitress told us it is owned by one of the two partners who ran Perkins and that he kept the kitchen staff as well as herself. We were there for a later weekday breakfast. The carafe of coffee was a welcome sight. We ordered silver dollar pancakes and a meat lovers skillet. The portions were sizable and the skillet was actually served in a bowl. The pancakes were done nicely and the abundance of meats, cheese and potatoes topped with my over easy eggs in the skillet made for a very satisfying dish. To say we were filled is an understatement as we had leftovers to take home. The service was friendly and attentive. We were quite satisfied with the meals. Definitely great for breakfast but their menu contains much more if you go for a different meal.

The location is very convenient and quiet. I was visiting Asbury Park and for the quality of hotel for the price it is unmatched. Let me also mention that it is tremendously dog friendly. There was a note in the room on the complimentary bottles of water that said "We are so happy that you are here." There was a sign in the lobby that mentioned doing all things with kindness. These are good people. Definitely coming back!!

To start, this review is 2 years late as we stayed there in May of 2024 for a show we attended in Red Bank. Property was used as a state funded shelter to house homeless / welfare recipients. I can't confirm or deny this is still happening in 2026. We checked in, exhausted from our 6 hour drive. At first glance, we were impressed with the hotel's charming decor and couldn't wait to crash. The first impression quickly faded as we headed to our room to the sounds of screams and N bombs billowing through the halls. Great, this was our neighbor. Walked into the room and couldn't even hold a conversation with my wife as the obnoxious voice in the next room was overbearing. Hadn't even been in the hotel 5 minutes and I'm already back at the front desk requesting we be assigned another room. The front desk clerk advised the property was full but assured us she'd speak to our neighbor and tell her to pipe down. Apparently she knew her personally. Did that work? Yes....for exactly 10 minutes. Then it was back to screams, n words and "yo yo yo yo m-fer this m-fer that." Could've sworn Cardi B was in the next room. Demanded our reservation cancel at this point with a full refund. Front desk lady told us she would boot the woman from the property. This is where it gets spicy. Front desk lady and woman are now involved in a full-scale verbal shoot out in the hallway. The clerk then summoned another staff member for assistance. Apparently, they didn't get along and were bickering back and forth in the midst of trying to evict this woman from the hotel. Doesn't get more professional than that. Police were called and finally after a 2-hour song and dance the woman vacated the premises. The police seem to be regular visitors there, the staff highlighted their frequent pop ins. Spoke to the Manager the next day, who seemed empathetic to our experience. We were promised a refund for the eventful night. When we returned home, I emailed him to touch base about it, never to hear back from him again. Moral of the story? Don't let eloquent settings fool you from the ratchet bowels that lie within the walls.

This was a Mother's Day Brunch seating at 11am for 3 adults, 1 child and 2 under 3 and was my first…read moredining experience. When we entered at 11am we were told the food was in the back. Having never been there before, we had no idea what that meant so we followed everyone else. We had a reservation, so seating was not an issue. They weren't ready at 11am to serve. It took about 15 minutes for all of the options to be available and the kitchen struggled to keep pace as many options emptied quickly, the lines formed, and the refresh was slow. There was a cash bar service and juices available. This was a catered event, so the food was, well what I expected, but not bad with a fair amount of options. Our waitress did bring us water to our table and even filled the dirty glass and moved on. Empty plates sat on the table for a while, but we continued to return to the buffet. Everything was fair, until the check arrived. First, they charged us the child price for one of the under threes that ate one pancake. The waitress didn't ask if he was under three, just charged us despite under three being free. The real kick in the pants came from the automatic 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more, billed for four at the table. Yes, I know technically six, I get it. 20% on a buffet is insane. I served myself, I served my own drinks and stacked my own plates, by that definition I should have stayed to collect my tip-out after dining. I would have described our service as poor, unfriendly and unwelcoming. The 20% was not disclosed at the time of the reservation and I consider this a deceptive business tactic. It was Mother's Day so I would have chosen to leave more anyway, despite the bad service, but after the 20% gratuity was automatically added, there was an additional line for the tip. How many added a tip after already being charged? Quite a few I imagine. We will not be visiting this restaurant again and encourage them to be honest, upfront and train their staff appropriately. If the manager had visited out table, we would have spoken to them directly.

They bring the taste of Sicily to Monmouth County - so good that you need to check it out for yourself. With imported cold cuts straight from Italy, and fresh Italian pastries from Brooklyn, I knew I was in for a treat! I tried the Al Pacino (#4) which features Genoa salami, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, arugula, tomatoes, and roasted garlic pesto. Each bite took me to an Italian paradise. All of the bread is made fresh in house, including the amazing focaccia that the sandwich was made with. Not only was it delicious but it was also huge and very filling! Anthony takes great pride in his food, his shop, and his heritage. It is evident in the nods to Sicilian culture throughout the restaurant, and the way he treats all his customers like family. He was kind enough to share a sample of the fresh mozzarella (which was UNREAL) with myself and some other customers while my sandwich was being prepared and that's when I knew I'd be well taken care of. I cannot wait to come back and enjoy more of what they have to offer!

As we waited for our order, we chatted with Anthony and learned that there are no shortcuts here. They do everything the authentic way by importing their cold cuts, using freshly baked bread, and offering a nice selection of desserts and coffee.
