    The American (left off the horseradish mayo)
    Samantha S.

    I was surprised to find that there's not a lot of delis down the shore (or at least in Asbury Park area). This is the exact kind of deli I was looking for. They do classic hot and cold subs, but they also have specialty subs where they do parms, wraps, etc. Great to pick up a sub and go to the beach. I enjoyed the American - which is roast beef, lettuce, tomato, provolone, onions, and horseradish mayo (which I left off and did oil and vinegar instead). Roast beef pretty soft in texture. Provolone could have been a little more sharp/flavorful. Overall, excellent spot.

    Buffalo chicken sandwhich

    Neil's Kitchen has been a staple for me and my friends whenever we go to the beach over the last few years. Amazing sandwhiches and awesome customer service. The buffalo chicken sandwhich is my favorite. 10/10 recommend.

    So good I forgot to take a pic before digging in. This was the #13

    Wow. This place is a gem. The sandwiches are amazing and incredibly filling. I'm not a macaroni salad kind of person but the macaroni salad that's comes with each salad is perfection. We tried the classic Italian, cheesesteak, and #13. All were excellent and huge. I can't wait to come back and try other sandwiches

    Large Cheesesteak Special
    Steve S.

    While visiting the Long Branch area, I dedicated to stop by here, to try their cheesesteak. I recently saw an article from NJ.com, and they rated this cheesesteak one of the best in NJ. So, since I love a good cheesesteak, I had to try this one. I came on a Friday afternoon, and it wasn't too busy. I ordered the large cheesesteak special. Which came with onions, peppers, and mushrooms all chopped into the meat. The portion of the sandwich was large, so you get a lot for your money. Now, for the taste of the meat, it was delicious. It was cooked and seasoned well, and I really enjoyed that it was chopped thinly with the onions, peppers, and mushrooms, all mixed in with the cheese. I loved the roll that they used as well. The sandwich was just awesome and so good. I can see why it was rated one of the best and makes a top contender for me, too. The rest of the place looked really good as well, for their other deli sandwiches. I will be coming back for sure to try some other sandwiches out. Definitely recommended!

    Ordered the #5 with a chicken cutlet on top! Yummy!

    First time stopping in to order for take out, ended up staying to eat there. Friendly service, reasonable prices and delicious food! Glad to have a place to grab quality sandwiches and subs. Ambiance is simple with local flare and decor.

    Ham and turkey/swiss. That mac salad!
    David C.

    Was just looking for a different place to stop in and get a quick bite to eat, so on a whim I decided to try Neil's for the first time, and I will most definitely be back, after cashing my check on a Fri. afternoon. I had a ham, turkey and Swiss cheese sub and several hours later, I am still full, and I only had the 7' size. Very overstuffed indeed, with awesome, premium quality meats. The side of macaroni salad is very good and not that obligatory, overly sweet gunk, that many places serve. Made from scratch! Service was also very nice too. Very fast and friendly. Who knows, I may be back this weekend.

On July 17, we had a reservation, but the woman tried to make us think we were lying until I offered to show her my confirmation. She told me she was just waiting for a table to get up. We were consistently told to move back-and-forth from one side of the aisle to the next, making us feel like we were in the way. She then offered me the one high top that was in the back close to the bar area and was annoyed I didn't want it. She said when I make a reservation, I should indicate that I didn't want the one high top table. After over a 1/2 hour, she told me whoever gets up first we have that table, but when a table got up and we were about to walk over, she yelled that we can't have that table that it's for 4 and we were 2. She was extremely arrogant. The waitress serving us was very nice and kept apologizing that the bar was busy for my husband's drink, then apologizing that the kitchen was so busy, delaying the soup and then the main dish. After over 1/2 hour after we ordered and filling up with bread because we were starving by that time, the soup came. It was very good, but we wanted to leave room for the main dish so I only had a little and my husband had about half. I told the waitress that I never took soup home but was wondering if that would be OK since we wanted to have some of the main dish. My husband said that she could put it in one container if it was large enough to fit. She brought it back in a tiny little container, and when we looked at it, she told us "don't worry, you'd be surprised how much fits in there". When we got home, it was evident that they filled this small container and spilled out the rest. I was so upset with our experience that I sent an email to the owner on July 19th, and to this date about six weeks or so after I have never heard from him with an apology. We will not be back!

Entrees consisted of Australian Striped Bass, Gnocchi Truffle, Pollo Impanato di Milanese, and 3 orders of the Chicken Cordon Bleu. we shared an order of Warmed Mascrapone Spinach. Everything was served in a timely fashion - piping hot. Desserts consisted of a delicious Fruit Tart, Pecan and Walnut Tart and their terrific Pistachio Creme Brulee. Espresso, Capuccino and Americano Coffees paired well with our choices. Our waiter, Cosmo, was terrific. He knows his menu and was able to guide us in making our choices.

    Asbury Park is one of my favorite food towns, and a huge reason is because it still has the ability…read moreto pleasantly surprise me. Case in point - this restaurant has apparently been in the downtown area for several years and I had no idea. I stopped by here for lunch on Memorial Day with the Millennial Chum, and in a totally risky move, didn't make a reservation anywhere and just decided to wing it. The Millennial Chum's only requirement was that it be a place neither one of us had been to before, so after a very quick search/walk, we noticed this place and also decided we had a hankering for Italian. Done. I don't know how to describe the interior, but "yellow" and "modern" comes to mind. This isn't a stodgy white tablecloth kind of place; it's vibrant and hip, I'm sure trying to capture that classic Asbury demo. Really unique. The weather was a little meh, which worked in our favor - although there was a decent amount of foot traffic in the downtown area 70% of which were pooches, only one other table was occupied in here. We were able to sit down and were served very promptly. We were both very intrigued by one of the apps on the verbal specials menu - mango burrata, which sounded like sort of a mess, but also worth a try. Definitely more of the latter. Never would have thought to combine these two ingredients together, but it was really excellent and an interesting palate pairing. The presentation was solid as well, and this...didn't last long, although given that we both ordered entrees perhaps we should have been more responsible in that regard. Something I'd recommend for the regular menu in the future for sure. A lot of the entrees looked interesting and pretty authentic; this isn't just spaghetti and chicken parm (I'm not actually sure either was even on the menu). The one that emotionally spoke to me the most was the Pappardelle (one of my fave pastas and always pleased to see it) Al Telefono Nostro. Really hit the spot, and as you can see a really hardcore portion. The tomato cream sauce was light and flavorful, and the only nitpick I had (just a personal palate preference) was the inclusion of the sliced tomatoes. I'm sure a ton of people love those, and it basically adds a level of authenticity to the dish that a barbarian like me just can't quite appreciate. I made sure the Millennial Chum had a few tomato pieces though. Really good dish and would order it again. Honestly not sure what possessed us to even look at the dessert menu much less actually order from it, but I thought Oreo Tiramisu sounded interesting, despite the Millennial Chum's yowling that she despised tiramisu. It turns out she doesn't, because once this dish arrived she happily helped herself and decided that her opinion on tiramisu was likely based on a traumatic/misleading childhood incident. Bare minimum, this place gets solid marks for rewriting history for her in the Italian dessert department. But it WAS delicious, which was a theme of our meal. The service was top-notch; our waitress was over regularly and had a strong command of the menu (which I think deserves bonus points, given that this was not Americanized and it helped to have a metaphorical lifeguard helping us navigate some of the trickier stuff; I studied abroad in Florence over 20 years ago, but you'd never know it). Very pleasant. BIg recommend; not a ton of establishments under the radar in Asbury, but this might be one of them.

Everyone working there was super attentive. You could tell they really cared about providing great service and a great experience. We ordered what felt like the entire menu - 3 apps and 3 entrees to split because why not? Everything sounded so good we couldn't resist. We started with the octopus, spiedini special, and zucchini flowers. The octopus was so tender it melted in your mouth. Some of the best I've eaten. Same goes for the zucchini flowers. Light and delicate but still packed with flavor. We split the spicy vodka, salmon special, and pasta al forno as our entrees. The spicy vodka macaroni was insane. I could have eaten 10 bowls it was that good. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was totally worth the hype. Angelica's far exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to return!
