Quite the Central New Jersey find. Eric’s is one of the area’s best kept secrets. Main Street Freehold is rapidly becoming a hot-spot for great restaurants, but Eric’s is located just one block away from Main Street. This gives it the great advantage of being a little [...]

Spargo’s Grille is set in a shopping center in seemingly urban Manalapan, NJ. From the outside, the restaurant looks typical with the letters of the name in large purple neon. When you enter you see the attention to detail taken in the dining room. The layout [...]

Exceedingly fresh fish (if you prefer sushi) wonderful cuts of meat (if you don’t eat things that swim) and great entertainment if you choose a hibachi seat. The dining [...]
