However, not…read moreeven the heat was able to stop them from doing what they do or prevent me from giving them a 5 star rating. If I could, I'd give them a million plus stars !!! First of all, their professionalism and mannerism is a Class A Act, and Chef Brian and his staff were extremely attentive to the guest and detail. The food was so artfully presented, simply mouthwatering, and some of the best that I've ever tasted in all of my 70 years!!! All of the guest in attendance left asking the same question ... "WHO IS THAT CHEF !!!" If you are planning an event, it is my suggestion that you adjust your calendar to fit Chef Brian's schedule. Heavenly Eats, without a doubt, has set the bar high!!!

Jacques Caterers is truly exceptional. They catered my daughter's wedding shower at 3BR Distillery,…read moreand everything was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They were referred to us by the venue, and now I understand why--they arrived fully prepared, set everything up seamlessly, and handled every detail with complete professionalism. The food was incredible--beautifully presented, delicious, and talked about all day long. I've used Jacques several times over the years for events in my home, and about 35 years ago they even catered my own engagement party! Their quality and consistency have remained unmatched. Many of my guests were so impressed that they ended up hiring Jacques for their own parties. I highly recommend Jacques Caterers. Their service, reliability, and outstanding food make every event memorable. A true gem in the catering world!

I have a huge luau planned for July 26 and was already anxious about the details and organizing. I have to say that I was super impressed with Cathy and her communication with me. She helped me plan my menu and accommodated me in many ways. I haven't even tried their food yet but I will tell you that if its as good as the customer service is, it will also be amazing. I have referred Cathy directly to my neighbor who is also hosting a big event in August and she told me how great Cathy was as well. I wanted to thank you Cathy for your guidance and assistance in helping me plan my dream luau! I want to highly recommend Jacques to anyone who is interested in hosting an important event. TJ Fama

An absolute excellent choice was made while I was visiting the Sandbox, and there was the usual…read moreseveral food trucks to choose from outside of the beach venue. Service is customary fast food truck vibes, which is always quick and easy. The pork was juicy, the cheese was melty, and it was an automatic favorite. Fries were crunchy, I normally like mine a little soft, but I know that's a select few. I hope to see them outside again when I stop at the year round beach spot. If you happen to see this truck, I would certainly recommend stopping by and trying some of their goodies.

Had this at sandbox today. Just horrible. Dry pulled pork, terrible service. Absolutely disgusting.read more

DO NOT USE. Joyce…read morewas disjointed from the moment we booked. We booked a venue which she controls (colts neck, NJ) and told her we wanted her to cater. 2 weeks prior to the date we contacted her asking when she needed to know the catering details and she told us she wasn't catering. We have text messages proving that we told her she was, and that she agreed previously. After scrambling to find catering, she was extremely difficult with the whole venue. We were charged for linens, half of which had holes burned in to them or were extremely dirty - we asked for new ones or discounted (10 dollars per linen) and were told no. On the day of, the soda dispensers (the only thing that comes with the venue other than the space itself) were quite literally ALL out of syrup. It took an hour into the party for there to be any sodas, and by the time we got it running the guests complained about the sulfur smell/taste and I had to get soda delivered anyway. Throughout the whole process Joyce was extremely rude, forgetful, and short. I never write reviews...but this was such a horrendous experience that I feel I need to. Never book this company, ever.

Finally tried Lubrano's, had heard good things from friends. Decided to just go the take out route…read moreso no comments on dish presentation. We ordered the Pasta Al Forno as an appetizer & Chicken Scarpariello for the main dish. Was quoted 35-40 min when I called it in, arrived ~30 min, paid & food came out near the 40 min quote. The pasta - for us the cheese on top was perhaps over toasted as it was on the dry side. Flavor was fine otherwise. Not sure I'd order this for a main dish without added protein though. The Chicken Scarp - excellent. The chicken & potatoes were very tender. The mild sausage makes this dish come together, it adds a level of savoriness to complement the balsamic sweetness in the sauce. I also like the long angled slices of sausage nicely seared on each side, it was not expected vs other versions that I've had. Meal also came with bread to soak up that chicken sauce. Also noting the place seemed packed, only 2 spots on their lot were open plus it sounded busy inside. Will try it next time onsite with one of my many fine bottles of wine. :)

I can't wait to order next time I'm back at the Jersey Shore!! The sandwich boards were a $15 deposit each, but an easy drop off back to the shop.

From the outside it looks like a simple storefront but on the inside, it was a beautifully decorated restaurant. We were welcomed and seated promptly. The server came over and greeted us and asked if we had a bottle for her to open, which we didn't. Unbeknownst to us the restaurant is BYOB. When we shared that it was our first time there she gave us some time to look at the menu. I ended up ordering shrimp parm with linguini, and I asked for the linguini to have white sauce as opposed to the red sauce. She brought over water, a bread basket and bruschetta for the table. I usually prefer lime with my water. They didn't have lime, but she did bring over lemon wedges. While waiting for our meal my company had to step out and by the time the food arrived they weren't back. I asked the sever if I could get a plate to cover their food and she was super accommodating. Upon my companies return the server, even offered to reheat the food for them, which I thought was a nice touch. We declined, but we were still appreciative of the option. My food was very delicious. The white sauce for the linguini was amazing. One of the better Alfredo sauces I've had in this lifetime. The shrimp Parmesan was so so. I felt like it could've used maybe a little bit more seasoning but honestly paired with the pasta. I had no complaints. The restaurant definitely has a family feel and I got the impression that a lot of the patrons are regulars. I don't live in the area, but if I'm ever there again, I would certainly return.
