    Very pleasantly surprised at how wonderful this place is. Tucked away not far from the ferry. An eatery with a view of the water. We were a family of 14 with last minute plans and called to see if they can help us get a table for breakfast. Yes they could accommodate us on this beautiful Sunday. Table was set and ready waiting for us and we had a fabulous view of the water. The service was great with our large gang. The food was fresh and delicious. We ordered breakfast and lunch dishes. You can be a healthy eater here or have fun and say calories don't count on Sunday. Either way your meal will be great. My go to beverage is always unsweetened ice tea, which they served in large mason jars. Definitely worth the trip to the harbor. It was such a nice day eating outside. They have an inside dinning area and a bar. Public parking is available.

    Thanks to Yelp and all the other wonderful reviews of this place I was able to find another great place. I had work in the area and when finished my husband wanted to get something to eat. It was noontime and he wanted lunch when I still wanted breakfast. So I searched a good brunch spot and found Sissy's! Both breakfast and big lunch menu options at the same time. I had the crab cake eggs Benedict and my husband had a burger. My eggs were cooked perfect and it was the first time I tried a crab cake Benedict and it was excellent. My husband's burger was cooked perfectly and the fries nice and crispy. Staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for. My favorite thing was all the signs on the walls with different sayings. It was decorated beautifully with these signs and also gave my husband and I something to read and talk about while we waited for our meal. It was a diner feel but cozy filled with locals and friendly staff. Always looking to try places new just like here and they did not disappoint!

    Sign when you walk in. :)

    The first thing I noticed when I walked into Sissy's Place was a sign in the doorway that said "Be the kind of person you want to meet today." It was at the moment, I knew I was in the right place. Sissy's Place is old fashion American comfort food. They serve breakfast and lunch, so we are talking eggs any style, omelettes stuffed with whatever you like, tasty hot sausage, savory ham, breakfast sandwiches with pork roll and cheese, fluffy waffles and french toast..with plenty of maple syrup, powdered sugar, ice cream, fruit topping to drizzle on dump on top! Side items include buttered rolls, corn bread, muffins, hash browns, home fries, toast, and even cereal. Yes, cereal. If you are anything like me, sometimes all you want is a bowl of raison brain and a cup of coffee, and you are good to go! Or, maybe a newspaper (yes I still read them haha), but other then that, I'm set! The lunch menu is equally fast, from club sandwiches, deli sandwiches, wraps, etc. These sandwiches aren't just any sandwiches, they are LOADED! I mean if you want a tuna melt, you will get a tuna melt and then some! It's a spot where if you are on a diet and want to splurge, SPLURGE! haha! My favorite thing to order for brunch is always an omelette. It gives me the illusion that I'm eating healthy. Earlier today, when I was at Sissy's, I had customized my own omelette with sausage, ham, broccoli, and mozzarella cheese. It was excellent. I had a size of rye toast with butter and home fries, which I took home in a box for my Dad. :) I also ordered coffee, of course, and it was excellent. Fresh, hot, and the waitress and I had some sort of connection, because she knew when it was time for a refill! I cannot stand cold coffee! If you have read any of my reviews before, coffee must be hot at all times! Sissy's Place, they know what's up. :) That brings me to the service and atmosphere of Sissy's Place. I think the name is fitting, because just sitting at your booth or table, sipping on your coffee, eating your eggs, perhaps a book at your side, you just feel like you know Sissy. Like, she's your sister, or your best friend, and you just instinctively make yourself at home. You can tell when you enter Sissy's that the place is full of regulars. Yet, you do not feel out of place or odd. The waitresses greet you with a smile, are attentive, and pleasant. I felt as though I could just whip out my lap top and a bunch of books in my trunk and work there for hours, and my coffee cup would be refilled over and over. The wall art is something special. Inspiring, funny, and witty quotes adorn the walls, and made me smile. One in particular said, "when in doubt, look up..." I must admit, I wasn't in the best mood when I walked into sissy, apart from being HANGRY hahah, but the little reminders all over the walls, another " to never ever give up," just made me smile. Overall, Sissy's place is no frills. It's nothing fancy...but food doesn't need to be fancy. Nor does service or atmosphere. It needs to be QUALITY. I want yummy food that will fill my belly, service that makes me feel at home, and an atmosphere where I can dine alone and feel comfortable, or bring a friend and have a heart to heart chat. Sissy's Place is what it is. It doesn't pretend to be something it's not. It's a cozy spot, tucked away in Middletown...waiting to serve you some old fashion American breakfast and lunch, with a hot cup of joe and friendly service to match. I'm a fan and I'll be back to explore a few other options on the menu that are calling my name...perhaps, then, I'll bump it up to 5 stars :)

    Came here Presidents Day Monday for the healthy omelette.

    This is a great hotel with excellent staff and the North Suite was a highlight despite some quirks…read more We stayed at The Oyster Point Hotel over Christmas while visiting family and had a very positive overall experience, even with a few hiccups along the way. The front desk staff was professional and courteous. One young man was clearly in training, and the young woman guiding him was extremely knowledgeable and polite which to me was a great example of mentorship done right. Unfortunately, our original room had a heater that was rattling loudly and had pooled water on top of it, which I recorded and showed to the front desk. To their credit, maintenance responded quickly, and the technician was friendly, professional, and even helped move my luggage. He brought us keys to a new room, and the front desk upgraded us to the North Suite, which was an incredibly thoughtful gesture. The North Suite was fantastic with a large space with a massive balcony and beautiful views, along with a comfortable seating area outside. Sadly, due to the season, it was too cold to enjoy the balcony, but we appreciated the feature. That said, the suite wasn't perfect: The shower area was oddly dark, with little lighting. There was no air vent in the bathroom, which seemed unusual. The sink was smaller than the one in the standard suite. Neither of the two TVs worked, though I didn't want to complain during the stay and just mentioned it at checkout. The bathroom door didn't latch, which was a minor but noticeable issue. The smoke detector is missing from the ceiling, which gave me pause. Despite those flaws, the service and staff stood out. I witnessed two bar employees being rudely berated by guests over late food (which obviously wasn't their fault), and they handled the situation with professionalism and calm. I was so impressed by their professionalism under pressure (and so thoroughly disgusted by that table of senior citizens who should know better than to act that way) that I tipped each of them $50 each on top of our drink tab to make up for how poorly they were treated. Speaking of which, the bar area is a wonderful little spot, with friendly staff and the occasional live music, making it a fun place to unwind without leaving the hotel. The cocktails are excellent as well. This hotel has long been our go-to when in town, and while there were a few issues this time, the staff's attentiveness and care truly made the experience special. We're already looking forward to our return in 2026. TIP: Be mindful of where you park! The handicap parking is limited, and one of the spaces is under a tree that's heavily populated with birds. Our car was completely covered in bird droppings. I mean absolutely covered. Avoid that spot if you can.

    I have to admit the North Suite has the most amazing sunrises and sunsets. The room service is…read morealways good. Note, their parking is limited and currently there is a construction site across the way, so if they have and event going on you may be SOOL. Plan accordingly.

    Turning Point in Holmdel was hands down the perfect choice for breakfast. We lucked out with a…read morebeautiful morning, so we grabbed a table on the outdoor patio and enjoyed the sunshine. We arrived early and had no problem finding a seat, but this place gets busy fast. If you're planning a later visit, I definitely recommend joining the waitlist ahead of time. Turning Point has earned a loyal following throughout New Jersey for its fresh, made-from-scratch breakfast and brunch menu, quality ingredients, and excellent coffee selection. It's easy to see why it's become a favorite destination for breakfast lovers. We kicked off our meal with mimosas (yes, it's BYOB, so bring your favorite bottle of champagne!). As a coffee fanatic, I couldn't pass up their Hawaiian Kona Blend French Press coffee. Ever since my first trip to Hawaii, Kona has been my favorite coffee, and Turning Point does it right. Each pot is ground to order, brewed with purified water, and brought to your table to finish steeping. When you're ready, you slowly press the stainless steel filter, releasing the rich flavors, aromatic oils, and smooth crema. Every sip is bold, incredibly smooth, and packed with flavor. If you're a coffee lover, this is an absolute must. For breakfast, we ordered: Breakfast Combo - Two slices of thick-cut French toast, two eggs over easy, and a side of their refreshing citrus-dressed mixed greens. The French toast was light, fluffy, and perfectly golden, making for a classic breakfast done exceptionally well. Nantucket Benedict - A toasted English muffin topped with generous chunks of cracked lobster, plum potatoes, thick-cut smoked bacon, fresh avocado slices, and finished with a bright lemon-cilantro hollandaise sauce. It was an incredible combination of flavors that balanced richness with freshness in every bite. Everything that came to the table was absolutely mouthwatering. Honestly, the photos don't do these dishes justice--you have to experience them for yourself. A special shoutout to our server, Adam, who was outstanding. He was friendly, attentive, and constantly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. From the delicious food and exceptional coffee to the outstanding service and relaxing outdoor seating, Turning Point in Holmdel delivered an outstanding breakfast experience. If you're looking for one of the best breakfast and brunch spots in the area, this one should absolutely be on your list.

    Excellent food and changed menu…read more Issue is that they seemed extremely short staffed in the kitchen; food took like 40 minutes at least. I hope they are able to operationally optimize their cooking.
