Roberto's Freehold Grill — Restaurant in Freehold

This review is in addition to my son’s who just recently left a review about Roberto’s. He had to visit a diner for a class he is taking at Rutgers University and was only allowed 250 words for a review - his professors directions. I feel this diner is worth more than just 250 words, so here is my review to extend on his.

Our family of 4 went here for breakfast and we were welcomed by the very friendly and humorous “Big Jim.” Not only is he the best host around, he makes the very scrumptious cheesecakes at the restaurant and in my opinion the best I ever had in a very long time. He has a facebook page called “Big Jim’s Cheesecakes” if you want to check out his amazing creations. We were seated immediately and were taken care of by Lorraine who was very friendly and attentive. At our table we had the sausage and gravy bowl - which was overflowing with delicious sausage, blueberry pancakes - filled with fresh blueberries, avocado toast that was loaded with avocado, eggs Florentine with the most perfectly cooked eggs and amazing homemade potatoes, red white and blue waffles with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, strawberry milkshake that was thick and delicious, homemade rice pudding, a piece of Big Jim’s amazing cheesecake and bottomless coffee that would put WaWa out of business because it was sooooo good. All of our portions were large, everything cooked was hot and fresh tasting, the diner and bathrooms were clean and our overall dining experience was the best we had in a long time. Roberto’s Freehold Grill treats you like you are a part of their family that they actually like. You...

We had an absolutely incredible dining experience at Roberto's Freehold Grill when we stopped by a few days ago! The food was amazing, as well as the service, and there was definitely a welcoming and home-y vibe at Roberto's that altogether made for a fantastic breakfast! Our server Lorraine was very accommodating and personable and got us seated right away, and we also had the pleasure of meeting "Big" Jim who helped give us some cool info. about the history of the diner! The food also was superb, I ordered the red/white/blue waffles (strawberries & blueberries), and had a bite of the Eggs Florentine from my Mom, and I was more than impressed! Also, I should mention that they're going to have outdoor seating starting this month and going into the summer, and this outdoor dining will be dog friendly. There is also a kids menu + good options for vegetarians, and I wholly recommend ordering some of the cheesecake! Lastly, there is an every-day Latin food menu with very appetizing-sounding items, such as three different types of waffles and a variety of tortas (picture of the menu attached). The diner is cash only and there is an ATM inside, and I found the overall price to be very reasonable! We paid $95 for the four of us, and given the quality of the food, and also since most of us got multiple things for breakfast, I say that is very good! Also, there is lots of room for parking. We really look forward to coming back as soon as we can, even if you aren’t already planning on traveling to this part of Jersey, I absolutely recommend stopping by Roberto's...

My girlfriend and I spent 3 days in Asbury Park and the surrounding town on an unofficial Bruce Springsteen tour of his childhood homes, music venues where he got his start, and restaurants he frequents. Roberto’s Freehold Grill is among those restaurants, so we had to stop at his favorite breakfast spot! We love old diners and breakfast, so this was right up our alley. My girlfriend got the Eggs Florentine and I got the Eggs Benedict. These were the best versions of those dishes that we’ve ever had. So fresh and so much flavor! Our server was attentive and very friendly. We loved the atmosphere. Even though we didn’t have a Bruce sighting, there are several photo collages, concert posters, and other Springsteen-related memorabilia scattered around the diner. If you’re ever in the charming town of Freehold, NJ, Roberto’s should be at the top of your list of places to dine at. Thank you for the outstanding service, food, and atmosphere! We...
