Colts Neck General Store is a huge +1 !!! Great breakfast/lunch place, I actually had a business lunch there a couple weeks ago! (We originally agreed on Huddy’s, which also sucks, but they aren’t open for lunch)
My wife and I were discussing the same last night which adds to the anticipated opening of Esposito’s from your area! They are opening up the road on 34 and with a liquor license I believe!!!)
