When you walk into this small, privately owned family restaurant, it takes you back to Europe. The…read moreowners are from the European country, Georgia, which used to be part of Russia. I went with 45 women from our development. When you walk into the restaurant, we were greeted warmly from the owner, Katie. Her mom does the cooking and she has a baker who gets there at 5:00 am to start making the breads. Many of their counter displayed - jarred items come directly from their home country. We started out with a savory, fresh salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and thinly sliced red onions. We were served, their classic cheese pie, Khink Ali, which is like a wonton, with 3 types of ground meat, eggplant, beef stew, chicken kabobs and a most delicious dessert. They make everything fresh for you. Nothing was prepared ahead of time. While we were there, Katie, had a video of her country and was explaining pieces of it. This was very intimate, since we took up the whole restaurant. While we were there, people did come in to purchase bread, which is what they are known for, along with other items to take out Well worth stopping in, look around and have a snack of something

Some Sundays just hit different…read more Church was absolutely PHENOMENAL! Rev. Nicole Drakeford preached a WORD that reached all the way into my soul. The scripture was Luke 17:11-19, and the message was simple but powerful... I have to get back to saying THANK YOU! Sometimes we're so busy asking God for the next blessing that we forget to pause and thank Him for the ones He's already given us. Now y'all know after feeding the spirit...it was time to feed the stomach! Off to Brownstone the Original Pancake Factory in Freehold we went, and BABY...they did NOT disappoint! From the moment we walked in, our server J gave us customer service that was a 10/10! If you go, ask for J...tell 'em Stacy sent you! To make the day even sweeter, they helped us celebrate our church's 106th Anniversary! Such a thoughtful surprise that truly made us smile. And can we PLEASE talk about my Aunties?! Apparently, when it's your first visit, you have to ride the carousel...and let me tell you...my Golden Girls understood the assignment! Watching them laugh and enjoy every second was worth the trip all by itself. The food? ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The portions are huge, the atmosphere is welcoming, and every bite was worth it. If you haven't been...GO! And if you have...tell the people the truth... NO LIES DETECTED! Thank You, Lord, for another Sunday filled with worship, family, laughter, great food, and beautiful memories. My cup & heart is FULL.

I really wanted to understand the hype, but unfortunately this one was a miss for me. I'm honestly…read morenot sure why there are consistently such long lines to get in because, based on our experience, the food was definitely underwhelming. First, the menu is HUGE. It actually reminded me of Cheesecake Factory, you open it and there are so many options that you're not really sure what the restaurant specializes in. Yes, everything is centered around pancakes, but even within each section there are so many choices that it becomes overwhelming. Sometimes, less is more!We decided to take some of the server's recommendations and went with the Fried Oreo Cheesecake Pancakes. Unfortunately, these were just way too sweet for us and didn't live up to the hype. There was so much going on that the flavors didn't really come together for me.My daughter ordered the strawberry shake, which was absolutely massive! I will give them that, the portion was impressive. But again, it was extremely sweet, even for a milkshake.I ordered the Steak Frites and asked for my steak medium. Unfortunately, it came out much closer to medium rare, so it wasn't cooked to my requested temperature. Overall, there were some fun and over-the-top menu options, but unfortunately the food just didn't impress us enough to justify the wait or the hype. Would I go back? Probably not. There are just too many other places I'd rather spend my time and calories.

Huge fan of First Watch and been to few locations in SC & GA. When I was visiting my family in NJ,…read morewe decided to go get brunch there and everyone had a great time. This chain typically focuses on breakfast & brunch meals, so if you're a breakfast foodie, this place is for you! I always start off looking at what their seasonal menu is. Currently it's the strawberry tres leches French toast, which wasn't overly sweet at all. Then to get some variety in, I order the traditional plate which comes with your eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Sometimes I order their "Million dollar bacon" which is pretty expensive, but tastes like bacon glazed in maple syrup; seriously delicious! Overall, family and I had a great dining experience at this location. Service was spot on with great staff. Little noisy from everyone's chatter, but like I said, if you're a breakfast foodie, highly recommend giving this place a go!

Even…read morethough the The Food Shack closes at 2:00pm, the server behind the counter was very gracious and still took our order (and the orders of some people behind us) without complaining. We were really impressed by the location. The Food shack is located right on the beach which is the perfect way to enjoy a lunch on a Summer day in Point Pleasant. They have lots of umbrellaed outdoor seating, and some benches in the sun, so there are options for everyone. They also have some indoor seating, and the inside is adorable. We ordered a swiss grilled cheese with tomato on top, and a BLT. Each item came with pickles and a bag of chips. Each item was priced reasonably, especially considering typical Jersey Shore pricing. My grilled cheese was great. The bread/cheese/tomato ratio was perfect. The cheese was gooey, and stayed gooey even as the sandwich cooled. The bread on the grilled cheese was crispy on the outside and still soft and warm on the inside. I didn't know what to expect from a small shack on the beach, especially with something as simple as a grilled cheese, but I really enjoyed it. The BLT also had a gread tomato/bacon/lettuce/mayo ratio and wasn't too greasy. Overall I will definitely be coming back!

When I walked into the restaurant, there were 6 people standing ahead of us at the hostess stand. Tables were emptying out but no one even acknowledged our existence for - no exaggeration- 15 minutes. We made conversation with the people around us that it was almost comical that no one even said they'd be with us in a moment. It was odd and we almost left and walked to The Buttered Biscuit down the street, but we stuck it out. Once we were seated we were given a tiny placard to scan the menu with our phones. Service after being seated was surprisingly consistent after our long wait time to be seated with no acknowledgment from staff. I have a gluten allergy and the online menu did not have specific information showing what was GF or GFA. When I asked the sever about it she rattled off some GF options but of course I couldn't remember all of them, having them marked on the menu would be so helpful. I ordered the Birria Omelette but chose to have the tortilla strips on the side since they were in a shared fryer. The dressing for the side salad was light and tangy. The omelette was supposed to be French style but wasn't creamy in the middle. Birria meat was tender and kind of overwhelmed the overall taste of the omelette. I also had an iced decaf mocha latte and it was good, not too sweet and pretty much coffee flavored chocolate milk. My dining companion had the classic French toast, which looked delicious and he really enjoyed it but I didn't taste it because "gluten." Ambiance is really nice, tables are well spaced and the restaurant is well decorated. Not sure if I'll be back but glad I tried it!

It was definitely busy and a little noisy, so I probably wouldn't choose it as a place to sit and get work done, but it's perfect for grabbing coffee or breakfast, or meeting up with friends. The horchata overnight oats were SO good--easily the highlight for me. They were unique and so delicious. I could eat them every day. I also got a cold brew with coconut cold foam. The cold brew itself was really good--smooth and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. The cold foam was just okay; I thought it was a little weak in both flavor and texture and would've loved it to be fluffier and more flavorful. Still, I enjoyed the drink overall. Service was incredibly quick, especially considering how busy they were. Our coffee and food came out almost immediately. Such a cute beachy coffee spot and the perfect pit stop before heading to the shore. I'd absolutely come back, especially for those horchata overnight oats!

Visited this shop back in March and again this month of June - Why is it always so busy tho!! lol…read more (well because they do serve good food and coffee!) Luckily we are usually able to find street parking within walking distance. Inside is quite spacious with lots of seating. There is a good list of food options usually ranging from sandwiches to wraps, bowls and pastries. They even have ube coconut loaf which was also sweet and satisfying! we tried their sammys and chicken caesar wrap and they are delicious. The coffees are made well too with great seasonal flavors. Their peanut butter mocha is yummy! Another bonus for me is their family-friendly atmosphere with a baby-changing area in their restroom and the fact that there is a playground right across! One of the top reasons we appreciate this establishment aside from visit-worthy service, drinks and bites! aaand close the beach! lots of WINS!!

The coffee is excellent with a variety of drinks (hot or cold) to choose from. I had the pistachio latte (never tried this before and enjoyed the distinct flavor of the coffee with the whisper of pistachio in each sip) and the maple sea salt latte which was Devine. A few tasty treats are in the display (I wish there were more options of to select from....maybe some more warm options). My sister ordered the empanada which had egg, cheese and some steak in it. I tried the almond croissant which was very flaky and a bit sweet (I believe it had some crumbled brown sugar sprinkled on top) it was extremely fresh. The only issue with Cafe Eleven will surely be parking particularly if the weather is warm. This area is always bustling and the side streets you need a permit to park so this may be a glitch in trying to go to cafe eleven.
