Lunch in Freehold?

[cantkick]

I have jury duty. Any suggestions for lunch? I'm open to just about anything. The only requirement is that it be delicious.

Federici's.

Another vote for Ibby's. It's my go to place when I'm in downtown Freehold.

Ibby's is worth a trip to Freehold for lunch anytime. That hot sauce is terrific!

Have been doing Ibby's from Tinton Falls now for a year. They know when I order that I need a container of their Hot Sauce (This from someone who often brings my own... [Go ahead and Google "Hot Spicy Food"]). They are a quick jump from the courthouse and totally worth the few cents they charge...

Hi Mark....what do you suggest on the menu at Ibby's? I've never been...last time I had a Felafel was at a cart in front of Columbia University On Broadway in New York City many years ago in the late 80's.

I only go there for dinner and I always get the Lamb Schawarma combo. That is sliced lamb on greens with tomato and pickled turnip with falafel, stuffed grape leaves, hummus and babaganoush (each dip topped with an olive and a dollop of olive oil with a bit of tahini & a side of grilled pita) If you like it spicy ask for some of their house made hot sauce on the side, it is smokin and full of chile flavor. This seems to feature most everything they do well there. Tell "D" I said hi!

This may be too huge for a lunch.

Their lamb sharwarma plate is tough to beat!

Every time I go to Ibby's I order the combo! Can't beat it!

We had dinner tonight at Federici's. I was very disappointed with the value for the money. We ordered a large house salad for $7.50. It was what I would expect asa free side salad. We questioned the waiter and he confirmed that it was the large......what a rip off. We ordered two pizzas - one large and one personal plus 4 beverages. Pizzas were good, but not great. The check was around $45......

How about El Meson?

Didn't we have this exact thread come up a few months ago?

[MarlboroMan]

Yes, and my vote is for Oyako Tso's.. Japanese & sushi, right next to Ibby's. Great sashimi!

We liked the food at Bahia de Acapulco when we went (admittedly a while ago), and it's a small place that should be fast enough. It's on the street that is the dogleg from Court St across the main street in Freehold.

You can't get to Frankly Burgers and More and eat and get back on a lunch break from the courthouse - it has to be someplace in the center of town just a few blocks from the courthouse.

funny, I also had jury duty starting tomorrow, but I was in the group that is on call so I don't have to go. But I was planning on going to Ibby's which is almost on the corner of Main and South streets. If they call me for duty Thursday that is where I will go for sure.

[cantkick]

Seal, I read your reviews. Sounds great.

One day I'll get to Frankly, but Seal's right, it's too far for the lunch break.

Ibby's is great and you can't go wrong. Very good food! (If you like hot sauce, ask for a cup of it on the side! It's really good!)

I had jury duty today as well but my number was not called :)

Try Frankly Burgers & More. Great hot dogs, Italian Hot Dogs, and burgers.
