Elli's "big breakfast" served outside on Broad Street Red .Bank
Howard B.

Nice place with indoor and outdoor seating. Red Bank has blocked traffic on the street so its quiet outside. Great service and food.

The food was great. I got the grilled chicken wrap and we got corn nuggets and cheese fries. However, my husband ordered the regular steak sandwich and I guess the waiter misheard him and brought him Dads steak sandwich and that was very thick and had a lot of fat on it. My husband does not like that kind of meat . The service was OK. I just wish that the waiter would've asked if he could change the sandwich for us when we informed him that it was the wrong sandwich other than that the place was beautiful inside and the food was delicious.!

Tried their Famous Pineapple Bowl with chicken. You can't beat the presentation and the rice stir-fry inside was fresh with sweet bursts of pineapple chunks. Service was timely and friendly. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, though we sat inside to get a break from the heat. Would come again to try more.

I was in the area and decided to have lunch here. The restaurant is big and nicely decorated. Our server was friendly and checked in often. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich. I really enjoyed the flavors and was happy with my choice. My husband had the Mimi's pulled chicken sandwiches, he enjoyed his meal. I would return again.

Penne Vodka and Steak and Eggs

Did not expect how good their food was going to be. We got their Penne Vodka and Steak and Eggs and everything came out perfectly. I forgot how they named their cheescake but it was like a combination of a cheescake and a creme brulee and it was amazing. A burnt melting cheesecake in your mouth is something else. Jesus, our server, was amazing. Knows what he does. Does everything in a very efficient way. Atmosphere was nice. Perfect set up for a brunch. If you can't think about a place to eat around the area, this can be one of them!

S'mores Iced Coffee
Kait L.

Group of 4 on a Sunday in early November. Made a reservation the morning of--though it might not have been necessary. To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to how busy it got as it didn't get loud enough to disrupt our conversation (which is a huge plus). The inside is so cute! They dimmed the lights when they brought out a sparkler birthday treat which made it feel very special. They have a great menu with lots of options from sweet to savory and an exquisite drink menu. (Be mindful this restaurant is BYOB. My party wasn't drinking so the extensive coffee flavors and lemonades were a huge hit.) My husband ordered the steak and eggs and said it was great. I had the pancake taco trio (three pancakes with strawberries, bananas, Nutella drizzle, and whipped topping) which was delicious!! Our friends also ordered the steak and eggs and the strawberry pancakes. Everyone loved their food! Although I'm not much of a coffee drinker, I had to try the s'mores iced coffee--and it tasted as delightful as it looked! If you're looking for a picture perfect brunch with great tasting food, this is the place!

Hair in our eggs
Jaime Y.

I was staying at a local hotel and their restaurant was closed for breakfast. We decided to get Uber Eats and decided on this restaurant. To start with our breakfast had a long hair in it which was disgusting. The toast was burnt to a crisp, the bacon was burnt to a crisp and stuck together. My daughter got the big breakfast with 2 eggs over easy (there was no option for Sunny Side Up). They ended up sending her 4 eggs, I guess just including the ones that ended up being completely cooked through and were wrong? We ordered a mac and cheese which was terrible, pretty much just pasta with cheese melted on top, to add insult to injury they only offered a large mac and cheese and you had to select extra large for an additional $6 because there was no other option. The Belgium waffles could only be ordered without powdered sugar or without whipped cream. I requested without powdered sugar, because my daughter loves whipped cream, it came with neither. The waffles were very plain and undercooked. I sent a message regarding this to Uber Eats, but was only reimbursed for the Waffles. We wasted almost $130 on the worst breakfast I've ever had. I don't understand how a breakfast place could ruin breakfast so bad. I can't believe someone noticed how blackened the toast was and didn't think to throw it out and toast it correctly.

That sweet boy Ryan left me very satisfied after my meal! Premium service, and an even better ambiance. Proud of this place.

Fries, Corn nuggets

I've been to Elli's Backyard quite a few times now, and every single visit has been amazing. I always try something new alongside my go-to -- the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap -- because it's absolutely DIVINE. The Caesar dressing is incredibly fresh (I haven't asked, but I swear it has to be homemade!). Here's what we tried this time: Corn Nuggets - 9/10 Exactly what you'd want from a corn nugget! Fried to perfection with a soft, flavorful inside. The maple syrup on the side added a really nice sweet-savory balance. Penne Vodka - 8/10 One of the better penne vodka dishes I've had in a while. The flavor was spot on! I would have loved just a bit more sauce, but overall, delicious. Onion Rings - 10/10 PERFECTION. The batter was crispy, and the onion wasn't too thick or chewy like some places. These are easily the best I've had and are now going into my regular order. Mango Lemonade - Super refreshing and not overly sweet. A great drink to pair with any meal. The server we had was a very nice younger man and he was extremely attentive as well. The decor was beautiful and they recently must have put up their halloween / fall decor which was also very nice.

Vodka chicken parm. My husband loved!

The Robinson Ale House - PAWS-ITIVELY DELICIOUS

A good place to dine with friends in Red Bank…read more The room is comfortable. The beer list is large and well curated. The cocktails were disappointing. The Smash Burgers were good. The upsell Onion Ring portion was small. The service was very good (thank you Owen).

Grabbed lunch with my family at "The Robinson Ale House" at their Red Bank location recently…read more The wooden accents and tufted booths greatly convey that old time pub feeling. It has plenty of indoor, and outdoor seating which is also pet friendly! Ambiance rate: 7/10. My family and I ordered... 1. PAWS-ITIVELY DELICIOUS: This was from their dog friendly food menu which I thought was awesome! It was a good size, and my dog finished it in a heartbeat! 2. Charred Chicken Quesadilla: This was an average tasting quesadilla, nothing special. I think the portion size was good, but I wish it tasted more flavorful. Rate 6/10. 3. Fish & Chips: This entrée was good; the fish was crispy on the outside, and super soft on the inside. I also liked their cherry pepper tartar sauce they paired it with. Rate 7/10. 4. Steak & Eggs: This dish was upsetting considering the steak was bland, and not cooked to my liking. I asked for it to be medium well, and it was well done. The eggs and home fries were mediocre. Rate 5/10. 5. Side of Truffle Fries: These were very good; it has a strong truffle taste which I loved. Plus, they were perfectly crispy! Rate 9/10. The staff were very nice and the service was moderately quick. Staff/service rate: 7/10. Overall, this is a great place to dine casually with friends, family, and your pets! I loved the concept of it having a dog friendly menu. However, in terms of the food itself, I wasn't satisfied and would prefer to eat somewhere else in the area.

This had a rustic feel to it with reclaimed wood everywhere. The menu had something for everybody,…read moreranging from burgers to pizzas to steaks to seafood. The menu was large and we had two options as part of a food tour I was on. I was able to try the scarpariello wings and boardwalk pizza. The wings were wood-fired with their special blend of seasoning and sauce along with cherry peppers. These were really tasty. The wings were a good size and the chicken fell right off the bone. The sauce had a slight kick to it with the cherry peppers present. The wood aspect of this dish was very noticeable too. The boardwalk pizza had house-made chorizo sausage, green pepper, onion, parmesan, Pomodoro, oregano, and red pepper flakes. This was alright. The crust was a little underdone for me, so it was a little flabby. The chorizo was the best part. I feel like jalapenos would have been a better choice of pepper here. The sauce was light and appetizing too. I also had a piece of bread that came out warm and paired nicely with the sauce from the wings. I was glad bread was provided to soak up that sauce! Will I go back? Probably.

Outstanding food and service. We tried the calamari and it was the best calamari I ever had. Wide…read moreselection of burgers and entrees. Parking lot is a bonus. Friendly service, and very nice ambience. Definitely worth the $$$ priced menu.

We had a wonderful lunch at Pearl at the Oyster Point Hotel today. Bridget was our server and she…read morecouldn't have been more attentive and warm. We started with sharing the shrimp cocktail appetizer. We ordered 6 to share and they were very tasty and fresh... a little on the small side for $4.95 each. But then our salads came and wow... they were both packed with proteins! I had the Salmon Cobb salad which was really good... fresh and tons of protein. Besides a large piece of grilled salmon was feta, hard boiled egg, avocado, chickpeas and so many other great ingredients. I left off the bacon. My husband had the asian steak and avocado salad and he ate every morsel. His also packed a protein punch and he loved it. It was his birthday so we had to celebrate with a delicious blueberry almond frost pint dessert. It was in a parfait cup and filled with lots of yummy treats ... whipped cream, crushed almond biscotti, blueberry compote and vanilla ice cream too... so good. We loved the ambiance and the atmosphere and staring out at the Navesink can't be beat. While we ate our meal indoors, you can also eat al fresco and I'd suggest a reservation for busy times just in case. It's the restaurant inside of the Oyster Point Hotel.

Beautiful views from this restaurant. Right along the Navasink river. I'd recommend coming around…read moresunset as the view then was lovely. Service was attentive and friendly. Our food arrived quickly. Food was solid and good. The swordfish was a substantial piece, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. They have a bourbon flight and offer a smoked bourbon option.
