This is a follow up review and it's probably my fourth visit possibly fifth. Tonight was a miss. I…read moreordered on the app ahead of time and scheduled for a later time than when I ordered which would be 6:30 PM, I immediately got a text that it would be 6:38 PM. OK not a problem. 6:38 passed and we waited 10minutes more, they said they needed to cook the food. They were slammed so this alone is not the reason for the follow up. We understand that. Most of the drinks were nearly empty with two of them being completely empty, the drink station hadn't been wiped down in a while, and there were no lids for the cups to take out that I had to go and ask. It seemed like they may not have enough supplies because when the one worker gave me the two lids for our drink so we could leave the other worker said that's just for us so I was a little surprised at that because how were we supposed to leave with the drinks? I don't blame the workers. They were all working very hard, but it's poorly managed then or understaffed or both. I think I might've seen a manager a woman with short hair that walked through behind the counter once. But the manager should be pitching in to help if they are understaffed. They left out a lot of things on our order. I should've checked before I left, didn't realize that that was necessary here, but it is. I did notice several people before me going back for missing pita bread. I did not realize I was also missing. That alone not a big deal because we ordered pita chips so we had that. Both salads contained grilled chicken and both were extremely oversalted compared to the last few times and the pita chips were so over salted that we had to dust them off just to eat them. Both salads were missing the pickled red onions, and it was on the order slip. My salad had no dressing and it was supposed to have Greek dressing again on the slip. We did eat the majority of the bowls, not all of it like usual because of the salt. It was so heavy. It was biting the inside of your mouth so we had to dust everything off and I just stopped eating it after a while. That much salt is a turn off even when you love salty food this was just biting and sharp, extreme salt and we could physically brush it off the pita chips in heavy amounts. Unfortunately, the chicken had absorbed a lot of it so it was just an extremely salty bite of chicken. The only reason why I'm still going back is, this is one out of 4-5 visits and if it indeed goes back to being good, that's it. But another visit or two like this and we won't be back.

It's currently soup season as I write this review, and on a particularly frigid December workday, I…read moreventured out. Let me tell you, boy am I glad I did. I'm honestly not sure what was more impressive to me; the soups or the sandwiches. I guess I'll start with their namesake, the soup. First time I came here I tried the French onion, since what better 'simple' soup to judge a soup place by, right? Excellent, right out of the gate - utterly bursting with caramelized onion flavor, and just a hint of brandy, I believe? I later came back and tried the Thai coconut and "thanksgiving dinner" soups, with each one seriously cramming a ton of flavor into each bite. Never thought I'd be blown away by soup, of all things, but here we are. The sandwiches are just as good as the soups were, and are priced really fairly for the quality and portion you get. Most of their sandwiches are made on their homemade "pesto bread", which may be the moistest, softest bread I've had in years. If you can't decide, they seem to run specials frequently, where you can get a sandwich & cup of soup. The only 'negative' I can think of is that since sandwiches are made to order, it can take ~10-15 mins to get sandwiches and the like, but this isn't a McDonalds, so I feel like that's expected. Besides, your patience is greatly rewarded. Skip the chain food; there's some really inspired, friendly folks here cranking out some of the best stuff in town. Well worth a visit, imo!

Another place we've passed countless times and never went in, until today…read more We were a bit concerned when walking in and the place was empty at 4pm on a Saturday. But looking at the fixins bar (Chipotle-esque), everything appeared fresh and clean so we chalked it up to a lull in business and freezing weather. I opted for a gyro bowl, my wife got a bowl with falafel. The lady at the counter really didn't speak English well at all, it took a few tries to get our order in. Once it was in she did tell us to sit and she'd bring it to us. As we sat we looked around, the place is cool. Decorated nice with a few tables. Lots of evil eyes all over. The food came out, nice and hot, good sized servings. We were pleasantly surprised as our expectations were low. For our taste they went a bit too aggressive with the feta and red onions. Otherwise all good. Looking forward to returning.

Very light and pleasant. Service was excellent and I ordered the large Greek salad to split with wife, Gyro platter for myself and wife ordered Avgolemono soup. Salad came very fast, romaine lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, feta and olives which were above average and pepperoncini peppers. Salad was a solid 9! In season tomatoes would've clearly brought up to a 10. Gyro platter was served with fries, rice or potatoes which I chose and simply delicious. Also came with a small bed of salad and tzatziki sauce. An unbelievable portion size and quality another solid 9. Serving size I would give an 11! Wife's soup was also delicious and between half a salad and cup of soup, she couldn't finish and had to take home. A wonderful dining experience and this will be on our lists of stops.

I had heard about Wonder, a food court with multiple restaurants, coming to Brick, and I was…read moreintrigued. I tried the Middletown location and really liked my food! I ordered from Yasas by Michael Symon, a Mediterranean restaurant. So, when Wonder came to Brick, I had to visit. I went in yesterday. It is a very small space located in Brick Plaza. There are tables and chairs for ten people only (I counted in case I decide to return with friends). There is a one-person, large, accessible bathroom in the front as well. There is a rack for pickup orders and then places to order the food. The staff immediately approached me and asked if I needed help with anything. I noticed the staff did that for everyone who walked in. They showed people how to download the app and how to order. I decided to order from Yasas again for my mom and Hanu Poke, a poke bowl restaurant. Our bowls were both huge and packed with food. My mom did say she thought the chicken portion was small--she said the same thing in Middletown. However, the bowl was so packed that it was enough food. I loved my tofu poke bowl! Since I am vegan and gluten-free, I asked them about the sauce, and they showed me how to indicate my dietary restrictions on the app. I have nothing bad to say about this place. The bathroom was even spotless. I hope they continue to offer great service and great food.

The Food: 10/10 Cheesesteak on a 10" Italian bread roll. The Mozzarella sticks were 10/10 with their house sauce, Wings were so delicious, our kids LOVED them and the blue cheese was soooo good. The prosciutto sandwich with the house made roasted red peppers are excellent- if not the best roasted red peppers I've ever eaten! The pizza is a thin style, similar to NY ( Brooklyn ) pizza.
