Filet- tender and delicious. Mashed: GROSS, stale/starchy! Carrots/ mushrooms- fresh.
Connie C.

Very disappointed! Hadn't been here since before 2019; pre-renovation. I preferred the old booths to the new all white interior. Our server was attentive. The ambiance is a step down in my opinion. Fruit flies everywhere we had to continuously swat while eating. Food was not what it used to be. Someone needs to step in and help this establishment. We frequented it for a bit pre-2019 and will not be returning after tonight's experience.

First time eating here. My wife and I love seafood, specifically lobster for her. I googled "Lobster Freehold,NJ" and this was a top choice. Made a 530 dinner reservation for 2 on a Sunday. Upon arriving, it didn't seem necessary as the restaurant was about half full but just wanted to be sure since Downtown Freehold can be busy. The restaurant has a decent size bar, a lower section with tables and intimate booths above surrounding it. We were immediately seated at a booth. Our server Haley was friendly, pleasant and knowledgeable. We started with a very tasty grilled Caesar salad (they grill the romaine lettuce) large enough for 2 people to share. For dinner I had the crab-stuffed flounder over a lobster risotto with sautéed asparagus. I was amazed! Everything on the plate was very fresh and seasoned to perfection. The portion was an exceptional size (photo). My wife ordered the surf & turf. Normally a filet & tail (6oz each), but she opted to substitute pan seared scallops for the filet. The scallops were a great size. Like small pillows on the plate (photo). The lobster tail was tender, delicious and one of the best my wife has tasted. This was served with mashed potatoes and very fresh broccoli. 2 seafood entrees, an appetizer and glass of wine. Bill was a little over $100 as I recall. Large portions, good service. Good restaurant, good night!

Back at Market yard. Very happy it's open again and  still excellent.

Pecan encrusted chicken salad

It's been over two years since eating here. Now post Covid, we had a fantastic dinner here with 4 couples celebrating the March birthdays. To our surprise, the inside had a beautiful makeover . It was refreshed with new and lighter booths, tables and chairs. We all loved it. This venue is in the American Hotel and there is a large parking lot in rear but it is shared with several other restaurants. Since this was a Saturday night, it was completely packed and I could not find parking there. So luckily I was able to get parking across the street. Sometimes they do have valet parking but unfortunately not on this night. In any case we all had a fantastic meal. Patrick was our server and he did an excellent job with getting all of our drinks and entrées correct and even if he didn't he fixed it easily. I had a stuffed pork chop which was awesome. I shared a wedge salad with my husband so I was quite full and was able to take home half my meal. My friends had the filet mignon, lamb chops, stacked eggplant appetizer, and cowboy steak. There wasn't one bad meal in the lot. The Au gratin potatoes were magnificent also which came with a couple of the entrées. So this was a great place to visit and they do take a reservation. There is also outside seating. On this particular night, the weather was gorgeous and there were a lot of people eating outside. Highly recommend!

Honestly, not worth the money. Service is friendly and accommodating but the food is a little underpar. We ordered three plates of the seafood pasta which came with a variety of seafood--half a lobster, clams, mussels, and shrimp in a red sauce with linguine. It was a little underseasoned so a bit bland. I also ordered a grilled shrimp and pasta dish, which was super salty. My favorite part were probably the appetizers--the mussels in the house sauce was unique, it almost tasted like a thousand island-esque sauce. The deep fried artichoke was good if you ate only one, otherwise the saltiness was overwhelming. Presentation needs a little work on everything, as everything came out a bit sloppily. So close, but not quite the experience you want for the price.

Was seated outside right away by a friendly hostess. Love the Wednesday seafood specials and ordered raw oysters and a mai-tai! The waitress was super friendly and accommodating with my special request. Great service, delicious food, and warm atmosphere! Would come back again as well recommend for an afternoon bite. Will try dinner next time.

I can't believe this is my first time writing a review for the market yard grille! My husband and I go here monthly at least! It is out local spot and we always go for drinks, happy hour, dinner you name it! Last night we went with our family as a party of seven for a pre holiday dinner and we had another amazing experience! We started with drinks at the bar and then got to dinner! Everyone's meal was wonderful and the service was great! Sunday's are half price bottle of wine nights which we fully took advantage of! I got the prime rib special which was so yummy! If you're in the Freehold area I would highly recommend checking it out, you can not go wrong with this place!!!

German cake very dry
Jennifer T.

Tonight was the first time dining here. I don't know anyone who ate here, and there weren't many reviews on this restaurant so I was curious how it was. We started the two soups one was called a lobster shrimp bisque, and I use the word called because I can't understand how that was a lobster shrimp bisque soup when there was no lobster or shrimp in it, and it wasn't even creamy! It was definitely the worst soup I ever had in my entire life! The second was a special which was a vegetable shrimp soup and that was good, and unfortunately the best thing we ate tonight. We both ordered the scallops with risotto, and the red snapper which came with saffron risotto. The scallops were just ok, but the risotto was over cooked. The red snapper didn't taste fresh at all. The saffron rice it came with some parts were so over cooked it was hard and dry. The zucchini it came with was disgusting. Both of our entrees were served luke warm and parts of our dish were cold. For dessert we ordered the German chocolate cake which wasn't house made, and from the taste of it probably bought at some cheap bakery. The cake part was not good at all and was dry. The brownie was made there, but it didn't taste much like a brownie. They could of bought better brownies at quick check. I definitely would never eat here again, and can't understand how this restaurant is surviving with the poor quality of food it's serving. I recommend to the owner to firing everyone in the kitchen and getting a whole new chef. Definitely skip this place.

Skirt Steak with Chimichuri Sauce
Ann G.

I was taking an account here for dinner, it was their choice, and I'm so glad they picked this place. It was my first time here, and it was a Wednesday night. It happened to be their seafood, and 1/2 price wine bottle night. Everything that came out was delicious, the only thing I wasn't so thrilled about was their brownie, it was more "cakey" than "fudgey", but I will not fault them since that is my personal preference. Our server was an attentive woman, and very nice, I wish I remembered her name. I will add pics of what we ate, but for some reason I didn't take pics of our appetizers...bacon wrapped scallops over grits, little neck clams and the beef negimaki, because they were gone in 2 seconds...nom nom nom

Hanger Steak

The food at the American Hotel is amazing! First, they bring out warm dinner rolls with garlic butter. It is delicious! I got the hanger steak for my meal and it was very tasty and so soft. It came with mashed sweet potatoes, mushrooms and onions, and vegetables. It was such a generous portion. The outdoor dining is also very nice and is set up well. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Stuffed shrimp with crab meat and risotto
Bryant H.

Food is just OK, nothing special. Our table had two filet mignons and one stuffed shrimp entree with risotto. It was Saturday at 1:30pm and the restaurant wasn't particularly very busy. Plenty of servers and yet the service was very slow. Overall bill is reasonable, but a lot of good restaurants in the area to choose from. Most likely won't be back

Ceviche...I forgot to take a picture before we dug in!

We were greeted and seated. It had a nice ambience and a good dj. Our server was really nice. I got a virgin hurricane smoked drink, the salmon, the airline chicken and mac n cheese. The drink was good but very sweet. You pay for the presentation. The food took a while to come out but it was good. The salmon was crispy but the sauce it came with was a bit salty. The chicken was good as well and well seasoned. The mac n cheese was good but on the dry side. It needed way more sauce and some salt. All in all i would take the 50 min drive to come here again.

We shared the watermelon flavored "smoke show " drink and it was so delicious. It tasted like a flavored sprite. My bolognese was alright and my friend was not a fan of her shrimp pasta. We were too stuffed to try dessert. But we definitely plan to be back to try their other menu items as well as visit the iplay America which is in the same area as the restaurant

Our waiter did not come to take our order until a good 35-40 minutes after sitting, not a huge deal but a notable delay. What irritated me during dinner was we were asked if we'd like dessert while 2 people were still eating their meals, followed by the check immediately arriving- no etiquette. While paying and wrapping up the staff were directed to clear the table, this was obvious. For full drinks to be removed without asking is unacceptable. It was as if we weren't even sitting there the manner they were clearing. Again it was obvious the direction of the manager, they needed the table. Try being efficient to start instead of creating a rush at the end if overbooked and delayed. It's classier than putting a check on a table with people eating and rudely clearing drinks. Will not be returning. There is better up the road with real management and service.
