    Shake Shack @ Judy Blume Travel Plaza
    Ann W.

    I would like to praise Gavin. While waiting I observed the crew, how they move, act, ans serve. It was a long 4th of July weekend so how to be happy when working? Ask Gavin. He was very efficient, enthusiastic and hard working. I saw him moving quickly to serve next customer. More and beyond- this was his attitude. As the food is always excellent this time I would like to applause this hard working kid. Thank you! I hope u r appreciated and valued accordingly $$$. Thank you!

    Delish! Can't wait to go back & order off the whole menu. The milkshakes are so good. Service was fast & the staff was nice. The best food I've seen in a rest area. Ambiance was nothing special.

    This location is in the Judy Blume rest area on the GSP. I was starving and could not wait to get to the rest area so that I could chow down! This was my second visit there, so as expected, there were a lot of people waiting for their food. Ordering was really easy because they had a few touchscreens. While I waited for my food, I took the opportunity to use the restroom since I knew my order would take a little while. I took my food to go and then eat ate at tables they had outside. It was a beautiful day so I figured why not. The burger I had was really juicy, meaty and just plain delicious! My fries were crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Perfection! I grabbed a free cup of water for my drink. Didn't taste like tap, which was surprising. I definitely plan on returning to this shake shack when I am hungry and driving on the Garden State Parkway.

    I completely adore this location. It is my half to my destination rest stop. Since opening the food is always fresh and hot. I never have a complaint with service. Everything is made to order and always very good. Even if the line is long the wait is fast paced. They did another upgrade so it's very clean and always being serviced by attendants.

    This was my first time going to a shake shack at a rest stop but this was a great experience. Didn't feel any different from going to a stand alone location. The wait was just as long as I would wait at any other location but luckily the food also tasted as it did in any other location.

    This place is located on the Garden State Parkway rest stop around exit 100. The lines are long. Their burgers are overrated (expensive) yet their fries are stellar, even better than McDonald's. The soft drinks are packed with ice. In general this place is too expensive for what you get....yes I would come here again if necessary. Staff is friendly.

    How is it possible to see 6 people working and not one person actually handing out the drinks? They just sit there...everyone moving at snail pace it's insane

    Shake Shack has really taken on a life of its own. I remember when it was only in madison square park with a line forming around the park to eat there. Now they have a location in every town. Good for them. This time I went with the double cheeseburger and chicken bites. Both solid. The chicken bites tasted fresher than usual at this location but maybe they just got a new batch in or something. The burgers aren't greasy and the flavor of the patty is good. It tastes fresh and that is why Shake Shack has been so successful. The shakes are always spot on and a guilty pleasure of mine. Solid place but in the end it is fast food so 5 stars would be a stretch.

    OK so first I'll own that I'm not a shake shack junkie so when I stopped at the Monmouth rest stop to grab a quick pick me up on my way to the shore I found myself shocked to see that I had paid more than $6 for what seems to be a 120z shake (THAT WASN'T EVEN FULL!) McDonalds, Wendy's or if you wanna get fancy BurgerFi all sell theirs for $3- 4.50 range for this same size. I say "seems" because I can't find any information about sizing anywhere (not even the nutrition guide) it's like its a secret or something. Anyway, I digress... My point is NO FAST FOOD MILK SHAKE SHOULD COST $6! So yea... As if having my wallet raped wasn't bad enough, I had to wait 15 minutes for the pleasure.

For drinks, we ordered the Boardwalk Lemonade, which was sweet and refreshing, and their version of an Aperol Spritz, which had a beautiful presentation. My dad's Baked Brie Burger was delicious--the fig jam paired perfectly with it, and the waffle fries were fried to perfection. I ordered the Mr. Beautiful Burger, which tasted great at first. Unfortunately, I felt VERY sick almost immediately after eating. I can't say for certain what caused it, but since my dad didn't try my burger and felt fine after his meal, I suspect mine may not have been cooked properly. Despite that, I enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks, and overall experience. I'd definitely give this place another chance, though I'll skip the Mr. Beautiful Burger next time.

    Along Wall Township, you will find this site of unapologetic bliss and gluttony behind an…read moreunassuming visage. Website: 5/5 It is easy to navigate, with many sections slowly coming to view as you scroll down the main page. It also had plenty of images of the food, enticing the viewer with utmost curiosity and craving. The menu items offer many selections with most of them having images representing them. Brand: 5/5 The entire aesthetic of SmokeHouse Grille relies on the appearance of an old-fashioned American grill. The interior especially evokes it, for the white-painted wooden walls, floors, and tables invite those looking for briskets. The pig is a recurring symbol throughout the establishment, since it represents the prevalence of briskets and pork products in the menu items. The staff mentioned that the SmokeHouse Grille's ideal first impressions would have an unassuming appearance, but surprise potential customers with their unusual food selection. Indeed, I can see how this could work for this establishment. Ambiance: 3/5 Despite having the appearance of a grill, there was definitely that eerie silence at some moments with no music playing over the radio. The benches where we sat did not feel readily fastened to the floor and I nearly fell off after adjusting myself a few times. The spaces between the tables definitely felt cramped. A silver-lining is that customers have an abundant option to eat outside where plenty of tables rest. Service: 5/5 The staff genuinely enjoyed her time working with the customers. Wait Time: 5/5 We experienced no delays waiting for our orders. Food: 5/5 I can say that pertaining to the Brand section, the hot dogs and the burgers definitely have unique twists to them. I expressed interest in the Mac Dog, which was essentially a course consisting of two hot dogs topped with macaroni and cheese with a side of French fries, with a side of peach tea. It had a well-cooked sausage and the mac-and-cheese topping solidified perfectly by maintaining heat while also not having a gooey intrusion upon my fingers. The buns held their form without disintegrating with every bite. The rich creaminess of the mac-and-cheese topping definitely complemented the spiciness of the hot dog sausage. Worth The Money?: 5/5 Although some of the menu items on the website did not have images, I nevertheless got a good idea of what to expect going in. If the SmokeHouse Grille found itself at some point when they could not make their food, they would default to Peruvian food, since the owner also owns the neighboring Perusa Peruvian Cuisine restaurant. I would be very interested to see traditional Peruvian foods with an American grill twist. I would also recommend giving the pig mascot a name. The relationship the SmokeHouse Grille has with the rest of the community is one that is based on the devotion of returning customers. Indeed, small businesses rely on this type of relationship and I would like to see it expand in the future. Pertaining to the unassuming appearance and unusual food, I can see how it could work, requiring a lot of word-of-mouth from returning customers. Also, if this unique aesthetic would work with music playing over the radio, then I would suggest classic rock along the lines of Chicago that appear old-fashioned in appearance, yet their songs have a variety of deep meanings. I will absolutely say that the food makes this establishment worth its price. The interior ambiance will not be a problem if you choose to eat outside. Rating: 5/5 Stars The average score rounded close to five out of five stars and I can definitely say that I have hope for the SmokeHouse Grille. Recommend To... Anyone enthralled to that unashamedly American brand of cheating food. American cuisine is rife with nutrient-negligent sludge packed with creamy, greasy flavor; might as well make it a part of you. I will not judge. I also recommend the SmokeHouse Grille to anyone who is either an extravert or knows someone who is, who will easily spread the word of this establishment to everyone they know.

Portion sizes are solid, and prices are reasonable considering the area. We actually ended up here because Pasta Volo -- one of my favorite spots in Asbury Park -- was closed that day. The Speakeatery made for a great backup. You order at the counter, and the service is decent. The space is long and narrow with some stool seating up front and more table and chair seating towards the back. The grill and kitchen are situated in the middle of the restaurant. The place only has indoor seating, which fits the speakeasy vibe nicely. Overall, I'd recommend The Speakeatery for breakfast or lunch when you're visiting Asbury Park for the day.
