I highly recommend making a reservation or arriving early like we did--we were seated quickly. Our server, Brianna, was amazing--super attentive and incredibly helpful when it came to navigating the menu. She really made the experience even better. I'm a big fan of Kona coffee, and Turning Point offers it French pressed, which was a huge win for me. It easily serves two, maybe even three cups, and the flavor is outstanding. They also offer other French press flavor options, which is a nice touch. While Kona isn't available by the cup, they do have a house blend, other brews, and a great selection of specialty drinks. The menu is extensive, and honestly, everything sounded delicious--it was hard to choose! We ordered: * Western Omelet with ham, peppers, onions, and cheddar jack (I added spinach), served with wheat toast * The famous Wilbur Skillet -- potatoes topped with crushed bacon, avocado, diced tomato, jack cheese, and two eggs over easy (you can customize how the eggs are cooked), plus an English muffin * Hot cinnamon rolls for the table, topped with warm, sweet cream cheese frosting that they pour right in front of you. Absolutely irresistible--I could not stop eating them! I can't wait to come back and try more items from their menu. Highly recommend!

The service is quick, attentive, and on point. We ordered various items: Coffee - Unlimited and delicious -- 4/5 stars. Shashuka - It was so scrumptious, one of us accidentally dropped the phone into the dish. Talk about the camera eats first! Lots of laughs. --4/5 stars Grande Huevos Rancheros -- Quite tasty but this one needed more fillings, as per my friend. She was disappointed with this dish. --3/5 stars Avocado Smashed Benny -- Excellent but my friend wished they had bigger slices of avocado. She indicated the avocados were too thin for her liking. 4/5 stars. Smoked Salmon Benny -- This was my dish. It was scrumptious but I personally think this dish would do better if it was served on nicely toasted Ciabatta bread instead of an English muffin. Please note, this is a personal preference. -- 4.5/5 stars What I appreciated most is how it was extremely busy so we were seated at the bar. Not once did we feel rushed and we had a great time catching up. The decor almost always has a holiday themed which makes it feel festive.

We were seated after about an hour wait after our 1st check in. After 10 minutes our server - who explained she was training and it was her 1st day came to the table without the server training her. Needless to say, she didn't know the menu and needed to come back again to get details on our meal (this is not her fault, and who made the decision to have a trainee work her 1st day on a holiday without supervision). We did receive our food, but couldn't get a refill on my iced tea because our server never check in on us. I didn't see our actual server until I had completed my meal. I asked to see the manager. I explained all of this to the manager and she had zero empathy for our situation. Instead, she defended the ladies at the front and said the training server was one of her better servers. All she offered was a faint, half-hearted apology. I've worked as a server and can understand when someone is in the weeds. In this case, it was just horrible service, and a manager who didn't appear to understand what quality service is. The food was fine ... not sure if it is worth the hassle.

Place is frequented by local workers stopping by for breakfast or lunch. We got here a little after 11:30, so the breakfast menu wasn't available. The lunch menu was limited.

Within the small town of Englishtown, you will find the luncheonette that represents Manalapan with…read moreits omelets. Brand: 4/5 Manalapan Luncheonette has served Manalapan Township for about 50 years. It manages to retain its relevance to this very day. I will say that the Western aesthetics only fit a small diner like this for so much. Is it a Western-themed or Western-inspired eatery? I cannot say. Nonetheless, I did like the inspiration, from the square building to the menu items. I also liked the ceramic plates that come in any color, and the wall décor from the banjo to the small, quote canvases. Website: 4/5 It has a simple design, with the basic scroll from the opening image to the basic description to the Google map of Manalapan Luncheonette's location. I cannot say the brown color matches the aesthetics of the sign above the establishment. Nonetheless, it shows menus, both physical and text. It does not have an app to order meals nor have images of the menu items. I find the former more forgivable, since I do not expect a high-quality website for every eatery, but it should let potential customers know what they are ordering. Wait Time: 5/5 I experienced no interruptions or delays while awaiting my order. Ambiance: 4/5 It does have the tendency to get noisy, though it mostly comes from the corner of the establishment where the bar area is at and the television is about. I found it tolerable to sit at the opposite corner with a view of the outside. Strangely enough, I did not expect the metal chairs to be an issue, even in December, since the well-heated establishment and the well-spaced tables accommodated me. Food: 5/5 I ordered the Cowboy Jim's Omelet, which consists of three eggs, ham, peppers, onions, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and American cheese; with sides of home fries and toast. It definitely filled me up throughout the day, with its soft yet delicate form holding together the cheese, eggs, meat, and vegetables. While the fresh vegetables gave this omelet its distinct flavor, the ham and eggs provided the robust, meaty flavor; and the cheese melted into one had the sharp taste and stringy stretch. I did think the toast had an unassuming taste, but they were outweighed by the hearty home fries. Service: 5/5 The cordial staff managed to make the experience worth it. Worth The Money?: 5/5 Since the Battle of Monmouth, the most pivotal moment in the American Revolution, took place in Manalapan Township, I would like to see the brand shift more towards that era in terms of cuisine. Despite the simple look of the website, it delivers on its promises. Referencing the website, I agree that the Manalapan Luncheonette is a hidden gem, and it offers hearty, comfort food. The website definitely matches the toned-down atmosphere of the eatery as well. The meal managed to equate to the wait time, since it clearly steamed throughout the time I ate. Throughout that time, nothing about the ambiance distracted me. I appreciate the fact that Manalapan Luncheonette encapsulates the small town charm like the rest of Englishtown. The staff practically bring that small town hospitality to every part of their jobs. As someone outside of Manalapan Township, I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and explore areas that I rarely or never been to. I found myself impressed by Manalapan Luncheonette, and if I do go through Manalapan Township, I would consider it my first option. The price for the Cowboy Jim's Omelet and the experience was absolutely worth it. Rating: 5/5 Stars I can see how this eatery might last longer than 50 years, since it makes the most out of what little it has. Recommend To... Anyone looking for small town eateries from 20+ minutes away, or are embarking on a type of vacation involving hopping from one small town to another.
