Did not enjoy our dine experience at all. We order for pick up a lot and usually pretty decent. But the service dining in was not good. Lots of waiting. Took a while to be greeted. Then our drinks don't come out til we were almost done our meal. Then waiter wasn't coming back to check that every was ok so we wait forever to ask for salad dressing. By time it came we just decided to take it home. Which isn't the best for salad Then waiting for our check was another long wait. Food was good but not great. Certainly not good enough to endure the bad service. And it wasn't even busy so can't imagine if it were busy. And I also overheard at least 3 other tables complaining about stuff and hearing multiple apologies from the various waiters. read more

This place is a joke. My cousin wanted to come here because she's a vegan on certain days. Today being one of them. We sat outside on the patio. We were greeted by 3 dirty tables that dined with us for half of our meal. Took 10 minutes for water and another 15 to order. Cousin got vegan pancakes, sausage and eggs. I don't know if she liked it because there was a lot left. I got a half sandwich and soup. I asked what the chefs soup was and they said vegetable. They should have told me it was Campbells vegetable out of a can. Sandwich was dry as hell and the salt and sugar were clumped together in their respective container. Why do people like this place enough that there are so many of them? Yikes read more

Turning Point - my eggs that I got and that were undercooked - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oakhurst, New Jersey

We are visiting family and staying at the hotel across the way. I grew up in this area, though, and am familiar with Turning Point. We came to this location twice during our stay and everything is excellent here. The first visit we had a little hiccup with our order but all was handled very professionally. The food is great. My favorite is the GOAT omelette. So tasty. But everything seems to be good here, according to all of my family members who ordered various things. We love the outdoor patio. I'm not local anymore but hopefully they get heat lamps so customers can continue to enjoy the fresh air outdoors while they eat. One of the reasons I left NJ was to spend more time outdoors in a different climate- so it's good to see the newer restaurants catering to the outdoors crowd and having outdoor spaces to eat! read more

First time eating at one of their locations. This is a very clean cozy comfortable restaurant. Service was prompt and very friendly. Menu has many viable options. I'm guarded on pricier upscale breakfast places but this place delivers on quality and taste and service ! Friend had key west shrimp omelette , I had waffle with fruit and a one side of seasonal pumpkin pancake. Everything was delicious! We'll be back! read more

Turning Point - Chicken Pesto Panini with chips and salsa. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oakhurst, New Jersey

I'm a big fan of this Turning Point location. Always love the food and coffee drinks and it's a nice atmosphere, too. They're typically packed, so don't come in a rush. The service is always friendly, although sometimes slow (likely because they're so busy). Highly recommend the smoked salmon Benedict and Martha's Vineyard salad - they're both absolutely delicious! read more

I have been to the turning point in Hoboken and was always a fan but it was always so far! My mom and I went in on a Sunday and I expected it to be packed. For bigger parties there was a bit of a wait but for a table of two we sat right down! Everything is clean and the decor is very cute. I am a big fan of French pressed coffee and was very excited this was an option. I also ordered one of the Benedict's. The eggs were perfectly poached. My mom ordered the frittata and loved it. I am very excited that there is a breakfast place so close to home. I will be back. read more

I was very excited to try this place! Very disappointed. Not sure what the hype is or was about. Fellow diner and I wanted to try much praised pancakes so we shared a stack as appetizer. Not at all impressed. Basic nothing special. The syrup wasnt anything special either the bottle it was in was sticky and gross! Also ordered cold brew which was good came with a carafe to refill as well as a coffee ice cube which was interesting. I ordered chick salad sandwich and fellow diner ordered avocado toast. Neither of us finished. Chicken salad has large chunks of chicken craisins and walnuts maybe??? Zero flavor a bit too much mayo for me. Best part of sandwich was the wheat bread! Avocado toast looked good fellow diner reports lemon zest was a little overwhelming as it was on the tomatoes. Not sure I would dine here again. Service was fine atmosphere also fine. Maybe the breakfast food is better. Much more options for breakfast food. Sorry Turning Point! read more

Sorry to say Turning Point has lost it's direction - used to be so good, food prepared well and good quality - but no longer. The last 2 times we were there the quality and food prep was terrible. The panini was dry and practically no filling. The breakfast potatoes are made from frozen potatoes and are not fresh tasting at all - tasteless and hard. The last time we were there (last week) the waitress brought me an eggs benedict dish which I did not order (I ordered a different eggs benedict dish) - it had mushy corn bread and the overall dish was a failure. I guess they are trying to keep their prices competitive, which is commendable, but not at the sacrifice of food quality and taste. There are many other very good breakfast places at the shore to have a great breakfast at! read more

I've been to this restaurant many times but will not be returning. It was a miserable lunch experience today. It started with a grumpy and decidedly hostile hostess who allowed us to change from the table she wanted to seat us at to a table near the fireplace on this cold day. The place wasn't crowded but she certainly seemed annoyed that we asked to be seated elsewhere before we even sat down! She flung the menus on the table and stomped away without acknowledging my "Thank You"! Then, my meal of eggs with a side salad was served but the salad was wilted and riddled with slimy lettuce. I asked for the lettuce to be removed from my plate but my whole plate was taken away and to be remade with a side of potatoes (or I could have had Romaine lettuce - I guess all of the spring mix was decaying?). My lunch mate had finished his entire meal before my food was returned this time, WITHOUT a replacement fork and knife. The server was MIA and didn't return so after a few minutes, I had to go steal a place setting from a vacant table. Finally, my request for additional milk for my coffee was never filled. All together ~ it was a most unpleasant dining outing. None of it should have happened. read more

I haven't made it past pancakes and French toast, but boy they were great! Lemon blueberry is the bomb. Plenty of parking but the lot is a chore to enter/exit. Friendly staff. read more

My first time, actually had never heard of it. It was super busy on a Sunday late morning but our table of 8 was seated quick. Everything was great from the service to the food. A little busy and hectic for my liking, but I enjoyed my experience there. Pretty far out of the way for me but if I was in the area I would stop by again. read more

Took half hour for eggs to come out when it wasn't even that busy. Completely understaffed and poor customer service.

Food and service was great. Unfortunately I witnessed something really unsanitary. The person cleaning up a table took the remaining water from the glasses and poured it back into the bottle. I'm just thankful I saw this before I drank my own glass of water. read more

Seated fast, drinks came out after about 8 minutes of waiting. we thought nothing of it, but little did we know our service wouldn't be the top tier we expected. We ordered 2 pancakes and 1 French toast and 1 waffle. we asked for Wheat toast, and they came out with rye. the bacon on the side was hard, burnt, and way too crunchy. the restaurant felt homey and warm and welcoming, but also all the waiters seemed frantic. but the restaurant was halfway empty. none of the breakfasts came with butter. after we asked 3 times for the butter. which I thought came on it anyway. the pancakes were dry, and the waffle that I asked with strawberries came with 4 strawberry slices. It was okay, wouldnt come here again. read more

I got the eggs benedict and added some avocado It was a 10/10. Amazing and I definitely recommend! The service was great and the food quality was great. read more

Turning Point - Eggs Benedict with avocado Amazing!!! 10/10 recommend! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oakhurst, New Jersey

I've been very happy with every meal I have had at the new Turning Point. Servers are very friendly and the food is excellent. I was hesitant to sit outside considering it's on Deal Road and Rt 35 but it's set back enough to make it very enjoyable. read more

I ordered the egg Benedict with home fries. The ham on the Benedict was fatty. The home fries weren't cooked all the way through. I also ordered the waffle which wasn't done all the way through. It wasn't the best experience for me. I don't think I would come back. read more

Lovely to look at - that sums up the place itself and the food. All very pretty. The problem is the food. It's better than a bad diner, but not as good as a good diner. If you want "pretty", do drop by; if you want breakfast, find a diner. read more

The staff looked very unkept as if they rolled out of bed and hair not tired back .. they were scratching their hair ears and not washing their hands . We sat at the bar hardly anyone was around it but to make coffee very dirty .. the food well ice cold pancakes the potatoes were uncooked crunchy very disappointed and won't be returning sorry but where's the floor manager on a new business ? read more

Great place and service. Menu has several options and the coffee options are great as well. Great view of waterfront.

Food is always good but went there today people were sitting all over we sat down greeted fast service was good but every table around us left only thing they took off table were the checks.dirty dishes were left on tables for minimum of 20 minutes they walked by looking to sit people for breakfast they put them on clean tables.it takes about minute to clean off tables.why were tables not cleaned off? read more

Turning point was my favorite place, reliable good food good atmosphere. Unfortunately January 1st 2025 start the new year off with Turning point was a big disappointment. Understaffed, seems like kitchen staff didn't show up, no bus boys, food was burnt, eggshells in my omelet, no utensils till you ask. Severs cutting potatoes but they were still raw. I felt horrible for the severs and staff that showed up trying to perform their task under the circumstances. Hopefully the owner and manager see the loyalty in those that showed up to work. Unfortunately the friends I brought there couldn't believe I brag about how great turning point is. Loyalty customer since little silver days when the owner first started out and was a big fan. Truly disappointed today read more

Food came out warm at best. English muffin was hard. Service was horrendous. Took us 15 minutes to pay the bill. And they weren't busy! Never again at this location! read more

Food had absolutely no taste, no seasoning, watery omelette, undercooked pancakes, drinks and lettuce were decent, but not enough to add another star. read more

Good breakfast and service. Options and prices are reasonable also. As of the writing of this review this is a relatively new location. Would recommend and planning to return again soon read more
