    Shrimp po boy snack wrap and creamy grits.
    Scott B.

    Went here recently and got breakfast for lunch. This is my third time here so a review is long overdue. YB is a small cafe in downtown Freehold where you walk up to the counter to order and then take a seat. Then the hostess, who is always friendly and greets you with a smile, brings your food. On this particular day I had a yearning for grits so I ordered a bowl with cheddar cheese and an over easy egg on top, along with a shrimp po boy snack wrap. Snack wrap was very good. Grits were creamy, seasoned well, and delicious. Third time won't be the last time.

    Cinnamon bun, very good.
    Brad A.

    Food was on point. Could of ate 20 of those cinnamon buns. Going to have to try way more things on the menu next time.

    YB Signature Bread Pudding
    Toyin D.

    I dropped in for a snack and coffee before while I was in town. I'm glad I did because the staff member upfront was so kind and helpful. I can tell this is a much loved spot as they even knew a customers order by heart. I got a small coffee and the YB bread pudding. The coffee wasn't my favorite, but the bread pudding was AMAZING. It's decadent, properly sweet, and moist - the makings of the perfect dessert The staff was kind enough to even offer to warm it up if I was staying. It absolutely makes all the difference. I would recommend stopping here if you get the chance and don't sleep on that bread pudding. It's a must.

    Unbelievable YB Signature Bread Pudding
    Nicholas G.

    Had no idea this place existed but found it on Yelp. The reviews are through the roof so you know I had to try. It is a nice clean spot and the staff was friendly. I came for lunch so I ordered a couple of sandwiches. I tried the chicken pesto melt and bbq pork grilled cheese. They were both very good sandwiches in terms of flavor but I couldn't get over how oily the sandwiches were. The bread was soaked. We also tried the tomato soup that had a good tomato flavor. Sometimes tomato soup could be bland but this had good seasoning to it. I will say the bread pudding was delicous. The texture was luscious and the flavor was perfect. That is a must order if you come here. I wish them the best because they have a lot of passion for what they do. The sandwiches were good but with a little tweaking will be even better. Try the bread pudding you won't be disappointed.

    Breakfast of the Week
    Ngoc T.

    I got the specials of the week which was this western breakfast sandwich, snack wrap and fries on the side (not pictured), and side Caesar salad (also not pictured). This sandwich was really good, I enjoyed it a lot. Great solo dine in or even to go.

    Jamaican tacos
    David S.

    Located next to the hall of records in the heart of downtown Freehold the place is very clean and the counter help is very helpful. I ordered the Jamaican tacos with a side Cesar salad. Both were fresh and delicious

    Pulled pork grilled cheese & corn chowder soup
    Rebecca C.

    A decent lunch in Freehold, though nothing too special. It is comparable to Panera, but with a better price point. I got the "Souper Combo" ($8.50) which comes with a half sandwich and a soup. The pulled pork grilled cheese was very good and would definitely recommend that! For soup, I got the corn chowder which was good but a little salty (I've definitely had better). In terms of decor, they could definitely use a bit of a boost! Interior is clean and comfortable, but some wall decorations to set a certain vibe would elevate the environment. YB Eatery wouldn't be at the top of my list of recommendations in Freehold, but still a solid lunch if you're in the area!

They were…read moreserving fresh made mini pancakes with different topping -- ended up getting the S'mores signature mini pancake flavors and was not disappointed! The mini pancakes were so fresh, warm and fluffy while the s'mores toppings of chocolate sauce, graham cracker crumble and toasted marshmallow were great additions. It was super quick to order and the lady was able to whip it up fairly quickly. They also do provide options to make your own as well! Although they don't provide seating directly, there are some table and chairs available right next to it that you can use to enjoy the fresh pancakes! It's located within an intersection of the mall so there's ample room! If you're craving something sweet, definitely check them out!

I had grabbed lunch before this so having this hit the spot for my sweet tooth. I ordered the s'mores and my friend grabbed the signature(bacon & brown sugar). Boy, these were so so good! I think the pancakes were fresh, fluffy, and moist, perfectly dressed with the fixin's. It is located in the mall lower level so be prepared to use the directory. Highly recommend as grab-and-go dessert snack for after lunch. The staff was super helpful as well and patient with all my questions.

Our first visit was so positive that I specifically requested to sit with Nick again, and I'm so glad I did. I even brought my twin brother so we could enjoy a special birthday breakfast together, and Nick helped make it truly memorable. Nick is an outstanding waiter--friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. He made us feel welcomed from the moment we sat down and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His positive attitude and attention to detail really elevated the entire experience and made our birthday celebration feel extra special. Because of how wonderful this visit was, we will absolutely be back, and not just by ourselves--we'll be bringing friends and encouraging family members and others to visit as well. The Skillet Restaurant has earned lifelong customers, and Nick is a huge reason why. Highly recommend both the restaurant and asking for Nick if you want an exceptional dining experience!

    Came to the Skillet yesterday after a beautiful morning in Asbury Park , glad we opted to eat here…read more! We were seated immediately upon arrival (party of 4 at 11:15 on a Saturday!) and ordered a variety of menu options. Loved the variety of the menu , there was truly something for everyone's taste ! The Lemon Orange ricotta pancake was phenomenal and I love that they offer a single pancake (plain or specialty!) as a side so you can have your sweet treat post meal - more places should do this! The Fried rice under the coconut shrimp wasn't cooked super well; this was probably the most disappointing menu item. Their iced coffee can also be ordered to go; I had a black iced coffee so not much to review but the coffee itself was tasty! Loved the decor of the restaurant but it was very noisy and chaotic. Need something to absorb the noise to make for a much nicer experience. Overall definitely would return, especially if eating outside on a warmer day!

    My first experience at the Brownstone Pancake Factory was with my daughter and grandbabies, who…read morehave been several times before. Walking in felt like going to a carnival--bright, lively, and full of energy. I initially expected a simple diner, but I quickly realized it's much more; there are so many menu options that it was actually a bit overwhelming in the best way. My daughter ordered an iced vanilla latte along with a California omelette, which came with breakfast potatoes. I had a regular coffee and a croissant sandwich with bacon, ham, and cheese. They also have a great kids' menu. My granddaughter had a blueberry pancake with scrambled eggs on the side, and she absolutely loved it. The service was fantastic--our server was very attentive throughout our visit. The ambiance was also perfect for a mid-Friday morning: lively but still comfortable. Overall, a great first visit, and I can see why my daughter enjoys coming here so often.

    Fast moving place to say the least. Gets crowded quickly on special event days like Mothers Day…read more We waited for nearly 90 mins. Not my choice to wait. I don't wait for food. Definitely not 90 mins.. My daughter just had to have Brownstone. The worst part of the wait was their system. They do not notify you by text or restaurant pager. They come to the door and yell out a name. If you miss hearing your name or they mispronounced your name, they pass you by. That's crazy considering the amount of names they get and the house doesn't pronounce it correctly The food: All of our order was VERY good. Only complaint. My skirt steak was cooked well, not medium well. But it was not over cooked. Was still tender and delicious. If you can't tell by all the photos. We took a lot of food home. The waitress was really attentive. But it looked like all the staff was attentive. Not over bearing at all. Super busy place. And they only take 1st come, 1st call. But make a waiting list as it gets crowded. The seating was a little tight. And that was throughout the place. Nice menu selections. So we'll be back to try few other items. Clean restrooms which are a plus for me. DEFINITELY would recommend this place.
