This place is great, clean, good service, nice menu and good food.... Not to mention there's never an issue in my food comes out.

While visiting family the other day came here for breakfast. It was a Monday morning around 1130 , the wait was about 20 minutes. We had a member of our party who needed a wheelchair accessible table and the staff was very accommodating and provided us with the type of table we needed. They offered unlimited refills on ice coffee which was a great plus! We started with the bacon lollipops which were apple wrapped in bacon and were delicious! For my meal I had a Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich which was quite good! Overall good place and would visit again when in the area! read more

Turning Point - Bacon lollipops - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

I want to start by saying we walked in here at 2:30 thinking it was too late but they were really happy to seat us. This was our first time here so I did not realize they close or stop serving at 3. The service was excellent and very friendly and the food was very good. My only complaint was that my husband and I choose a half lunch where you get a half a sandwich and a half salad or cup of soup. Long story short my husband was trying to ask a question about soup and the waitress told us they only offer bowls not just cups. So when we ordered our half soup and a half sandwich we were shocked to see a small cup of soup. The food was very good however the portions were very very small. My husband and I ordered the same thing and it was a small cup of soup and a very small half of a chicken salad sandwich. I was fine but in all honesty he was still very hungry when we left. Maybe we will give it one more try for breakfast And see how that goes. read more

Never went in 45 minute wait for eggs? Not worth my time maybe outdoor seating or expanding or do they not have enough help?

Good spot for breakfast or lunch. It was a busy Saturday afternoon when we arrived but were fortunate to get a table pretty quickly. Menu is quite large with many options. Bacon lollipops are very tasty and sweet. Popeye skillet was ok but could have used a bit more seasoning and cooking. Sandwiches and pesto chicken Panini were nicely stuffed. Food is a 3, Service is a 4. Our waitress checked on us constantly and made sure if we needed anything. Overall good. read more

The food was great. Try the different Eggs Benedict. Service was good. No rushing us out.

Visiting from out of town on a Sunday morning. Located you in Yelp. Funny that the Yelp directions locate you next to Lowe's which had us driving in cicles for a few minutes.We got a table sooner than expected. The hostess said 20-30 and we waited only 7 minutes which was a bonus. Service was fast and food was good. Loved the healthy omelette options. Restaurant and Barth rooms were clean. read more

I've never felt so disrespected at an establishment. We came here for brunch as a party of 8 and was sat in a booth that accommodates 6. We sat, and politely asked if we could move to a table that could more accommodate all of us. We were told by our server that we couldn't go into that area because they were closing that section and her manager would get mad at her. So then I proceeded to ask the bus boy for the manager and he was very nice and said he would get them. Another gentleman, I didn't catch his name came over and said, oh I didn't realize there was this many people in this party let me fix some tables for you to move too. We all thanked him and thought the situation was fixed. The server came over after and said if we split up our GROUP OF 8 then we can move tables. I said, why would we split up our entire party that makes no sense. As the other gentleman was cleaning up tables for us to move too, I guess the actual manager decided to make an appearance and come over to us and ask us why her server was crying and what we said to her and what the problem was. We did not say anything to the server to warrant crying, we would not do that, and it wasn't even her fault for where we were sitting. The manager proceeded to become hostile with the whole party as we explained that the other gentleman was already taking care of us and she would not listen. She then told us to leave when there was no reason to warrant us to leave. We had no issue till that so called manager came over and told us we were disrespectful to her server. This is completely unjustified and unacceptable behavior for an establishment that works in customer service. What was supposed to be an enjoyable experience of brunch for a birthday turned into a shit show because of this so called manager. I urge this company to get more training for their managers if they don't know how to read a situation or realize their staff had already figured it out. Good luck to people that come here, I wish you a better experience then we had. read more

Let me just start by saying I LOVE TURNING POINT! I've been dining at various locations since they opened and my only complaints are that they don't deliver and there's always a wait LOL! I love the white, not overly nautical overly cheesy, decor. It's so relaxing and refreshing to look around with the light colors and different decorative textures. I generally am not a breakfast person, so more times than not I'll order lunch. My go to is the jumping jack wrap - although no longer on the menu, they're more than happy to accommodate my request. I have a nut allergy, in fact one time I found a walnut in my salsa at a different location. Luckily I'm not anaphylactic, but when that happened they told me to always specify I have a nut allergy and they will cautiously prepare my food. That being said - today I was leaning towards breakfast. I ordered the classic eggs Benedict (with regular bacon instead of Canadian), and a side of chocolate peanut butter pancakes. These pancakes were to DIE for. I was hesitant because sometimes breakfast can be TOO sweet, but this was the perfect combination of chocolate chip pancakes with a peanut butter mascarpone and Hershey syrup drizzle. The eggs Benedict was good, I could have done without the sliced tomato and old bay. The potatoes didn't have too much flavor but I was too full to eat them anyway, so maybe it was a blessing! My boyfriend had the tuna salad on sourdough and definitely enjoyed it. He said it was fresh and flavorful. He washed it down with the iced coffee made with coffee ice cubes (so the drink isn't diluted!) It's safe to say I can't say enough good things about TP! read more

Great atmosphere, service and food. Not just run of the mill diner fare, lots of interesting choices.

It's always busy when I go here (on weekends) but my wait has never been over 10 mins. I'm usually with a group of 3 for outdoor seating. I also join their waitlist on yelp so it makes it quicker. I think waiting for indoor seats takes longer. The food is great. I've had the lemon blueberry dream pancakes (added tropical fruit on top) and the salted caramel waffles. My sister had the chicken and waffles so I tried hers and it was delicious! I can't wait to go back and get my own chicken and waffles. The servers are very friendly too. read more

Fantastic selection and food was amazing. Fun selection of traditional expected dishes plus yummie twists that are homemade & hand crafted. The plates were delicious works of food art. Server was awesome. Expect a line becuase it is popular, obviously small groups are best. Amazed at how clean the kitchen was and completely open for all to see. read more

Turning Point of Brick is a great addition to the area. Same menu as the other locations and same great food. When you're feeling like something nicer than the diner, Turning Point always makes an excellent breakfast spot. There's a nice outdoor area with a trellis roof, so come summer there looks to be some good outdoor seating. Turning Point closes as 3pm, because there only a breakfast and lunch place. I reccomend calling ahead on the weekends to have them save you a table. Otherwise you may have to wait a while as they get pretty crowded. read more

Let me begin by telling you that breakfast is my favorite meal. I was raised in a British household and the British are known for their huge and very filling breakfasts. It's a beautiful thing. With that being said, let me tell you about Turning Point. It's ON POINT. period. The ingredients are fresh and the servings are large. There are so many choices that it took me a while to decide - the drinks menu alone is like walking into Willy Wonka's factory - everything looks good and I want to try them all! Coffees, teas, iced teas, shakes, smoothies, specialty drinks... it goes on and ON! I had the Hawaiian Kona French press. Gosh, that's a review on its own. Delicious. I had a western omelette, I know, so typical but I wanted something filling and I love their eggs and English muffins. It was everything I wanted. Ingredients so fresh you think they have a garden around back. My breakfast buddy had the huevos rancheros. Wow! It was open faced in a huge tortilla and huge! My buddy ate it all! There was so many things in it and she said they were all good. Go enjoy some good food at this clean and friendly breakfast/brunch/lunch haven. read more

Turning Point - huevos rancheros - filled with everything that is good. Date: Jan 2016 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

This place is amazing! Delicious breakfast or lunch. Their skillets are amazing and their omelets are chock full of fresh vegetables. Coffee is brought to you in a carafe so you don't have to keep asking for a refill and then the waitress will ask you if you'd like a cup to go!!! Don't miss this gem. They have call ahead, so be sure to use it. They fill up fast as the day wears on. read more

I absolutely love Turning Point, and would not hesitate to deem it one of my top five favorite breakfast establishments in Ocean County. I recently visited TP on Easter Sunday for breakfast with my family and walked out stomach full and haply with the service I received. Here are some highlights: Food- I went with my usual of an egg skillet dish, and asked about the possibility of subbing out an item in the skillet for breakfast potatoes. Our waitress was so understanding and able to accommodate. Drink- You cannot go wrong with the coffee selection at turning point. The presentation of their french press alone is fantastic. Between three guests we shared two french press roasts and even had some extra at the end of the meal. Our server kindly brought over to go mugs for us to take our coffee with us. Price- TP dishes can be a little pricey for the serving you receive. This point is my ONLY reason for the 4 star review. For three people for breakfast, coffee, and tip: the bill came to about $55. Now you can order some cheaper items on the menu but they do not compare the Lobster Eggs Benedict. :) Service- I had some of the best service I have had at a restaurant in a long time, and thats for breakfast in Easter! Upon finishing our meal Our waitress did not rush us out or try to flip the table, and instead offered us additional beverages and cleared our settings. For a holiday or even just a busy weekend alone- this was surprising. I will be back Turning Point! read more

Turning Point - My Pesto Infused Egg white skillet- on the healthy side but i think i missed the point once I added some breakfast potatoes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

We used to look forward to a great meal at Turning Point, now it's mediocre. Service was good, quick and efficient. The meal was so salty that I may need to start blood pressure meds soon. The potatoes were definitely reheated, not fresh and the power pancakes were just plain old whole wheat, not the old style with the grains and seeds throughout the pancake. We walked in ten minutes after opening so the lack of freshness is baffling considering the motto is "Let's Get to the point, were fresh!" read more

I love the environment and the service is great the first time I came (not too great the second time around)!! The prices are affordable as well!! I selected the lemon blueberry pancakes again because they are delicious!! (I also think I order blueberry pancakes everywhere I go for breakfast lol) my boyfriend ordered the western omelette , he enjoyed it!! My only real complaint is they don't have a turning point where I live!! read more

My breakfast came out to perfection and the environment was clean and comforting! Great place.

This place has good food but on the overpriced side. The service was okay. I feel service makes or breaks the restaurant and my experience while dining. read more

Good breakfast/brunch spot with some really unique offerings. However after a few visits you get the feeling that everything isn't quite a homemade as you expect. Tastes a bit like processed food. Still good, just maybe a bar less than what you might expect. read more

One of favorite breakfast places! It's very busy though so make you get there either very early or an hour before they close to not have a long wait time on the weekends. However still worth the wait! Get the bourbon maple bacon. Yum! read more

Server also forget spoons for the coffee,it takes a a while to bring it until the coffee get cold,it happened many times with different servers I would like the to have pancakes or waffles gluten free to take my granddaughter celiac to the eat with us read more

Really love the food here however it is a bit more pricey than the average diner. Most meals are a la carte so it adds up which is why i gave 4 stars. Way better than the diners in the area and the food isn't greasy and weighed down like most diners. Good portions. They have healthier choices on the menu for both breakfast and lunch. Super clean and bright and sunny on the inside. :) read more

Turning Point - Best French toast ever - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

I come here SEVERAL times a month and have never ever been presented with less than exquisite service. The wait staff are kind, personable and efficient, and everybody is very well informed and communicative, plus very accomodating. Even though I am not vegan, I like to drink almond milk instead of dairy, so when I asked for a latte with almond milk and whipped cream, they made sure to confirm with me that 1. I knew that the whipped cream was NOT dairy free and to confirm that they had heard me correctly. Everybody is always so proactive, service is fantastic and the atmosphere is always welcoming and warm. Absolutely my FAVORITE place to go for breakfast and lunch! read more

Loved it. The best pumpkin chai latte .. the Wilbur Skillet was delicious! Definitely going back.

I have been to this place twice, both times I enjoyed the fresh fruit platter and the omelettes. I drink my coffee black and the quality of the brew was excellent. I like the fact they leave a pitcher of ice water on the table. Service has been excellent both times I have been here. But it was mid-week and not very busy. read more

My meal was good! The coffee of the month? Horrible - don't recommend unless you drink your coffee strong. Never had a cold brew with cold foam and toffee syrup that color before! My biggest complaint is how they apparently don't use the waitlist anymore but don't indicate so on their website. They simply tell you to call. Well we did call and got no answer so we checked the waitlist and it said to come in now. When we came in we were informed of a 45 to an hour wait. The woman who said it said they no longer use this waitlist and do their seatings by phone which is fine, but how would anyone know if it's nowhere to be found and you didn't answer the phone??? read more

In my personal top 3 In Monmouth and Ocean County for an amazing breakfast. Sea Girt and/or Brick. Both locations have amazingly super friendly staff. Always so accommodating, especially since my wife now has a love of the chai tea. Fresh fruit, and the top 3 for my favorite ham and cheese omelettes. read more

Great service! Delicious food. A bit pricy, but they try to make it like an elegant atmosphere.

Been a patron of several Turning Point restaurants and never was disappointed, however I placed a takeout order at the Brick location where I have been to previously and ordered their version of a turkey club sandwich which I have ordered before and been quite good. This sandwich was a disgrace-very little turkey all you could taste was the bread and it was "deli sliced turkey" NOT real turkey! Other times I ordered this sandwich it was plentiful and REAL baked turkey. Would be hesitant to return and upset as this was a favorite go to place. read more

The staff and management here is phenomenal. Amanda the manager is so friendly and welcoming at the door. Checked on the tables and really kept everything running smoothly. I will definitely be back because of her. read more

Fabulous Nutty Irishman coffee (no longer on the menu but you can ask for it!) , waffles, and everything else is great!! Call ahead!

We went here for the first time this morning. Using the waist list option was the right choice since we only had to wait a start time in a very long line. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. There was a slight problem with our order and the manager came over and took care of us. Very professional and nice and food was delicious so was the French press coffee. I definitely recommend and will be back again read more

Great restaurant for breakfast! Lots of options for whole family, vegetarian and vegan too! Tasty coffee, phenominal service, great relaxing environment for early start of the day. Would definitely come back if in the area again. read more

Great service! Have been to this location several times and it's been great every single time! Very attentive service!
