“ My family and I have been coming here for many years now and whenever we come to Jersey we must stop here every time. The menu is huge And you always get the same great service. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is nostalgic. There are some hidden menu items from the old menu you can order. The food here is amazing and I will go as far to say one of the best if not the best places to eat in Jersey. ”
“ Warm, friendly environment that made us feel instantly comfortable. The decor is eclectic in an “American Pickers” way. Very charming. The service was prompt and friendly. The menu selection is huge with all the traditional choices, but it except grits :-), and a lot of unique options, as well. I had the “Sloppy Mess” and it was amazing! Also got a side of pancakes made with fresh blueberries. Great choice. ”
“ Early appointment in Toms River this morning and we stopped by for breakfast after. My husband ordered the corned beef hash and eggs and I got Canadian bacon, tots, with scrambled eggs and pumpkin pancakes to share. The food was just perfect, it felt like home. Cozy atmosphere and our server was the best. I regret not introducing ourselves before we left as he did take care of us. We will definitely be returning. If you’re in the area, we highly recommend you stop by. ”
“ My partner and I moved to the Toms River area about a year ago. One day, on a breakfast hunt, we came across “Shut Up & Eat”! We’ve been going ever since. The food is delicious and quick, and we love the unique atmosphere. Just a great family owned and operated restaurant! 10/10 recommend! ”
“ “Shut Up and Eat”!!! Is all you need to do! The delicious food makes sure of that. A true country home restaurant, that gives one the feeling that you’re “Back from the future”!! I kid you not! The decor and atmosphere tells it all, not to mention the waitress service, which was altogether different, but very friendly. And I have to add, that the coffee was very good too. I ordered cheese & spinach omelette, with a side of sausage links, which tasted like the bangers from England. Again “Shut Up and Eat” Is definitely a “Go for it” place. 10/10. ”
“ Friendliest staff. Delicious food. 13% discount if you show up in pj’s. ”
