Bobby Flay brings his food to Monmouth County

Many months ago I had heard through the grapevine that Bobby Flay had started a new endevour after opening Bar American with Bobby’s Burger Palace. I had hoped that there was a chance he would open one up here locally on the Jersey Shore and that hope has become a reality. In by the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown there is a new Bobby’s Burger Palace and as expected I was very happy with everything. Even the location is perfect easy to get to from Rt. 35 or Rt. 36. People will pack this place in the summer coming off the GSP on there way to the beach in addition to all the locals eating there as they hear about it. The burgers were delicious, a good size, very juicy and cooked as ordered, plus the side sauces he has are excellent. The cheese sauce that comes with the fries is a SPECTACULAR mix of cheese, roasted red peppers, chipotle peppers and something else I can’t put my finger on but it was perfect with the crispy fries and next time I go, I’m going to request it be put directly on my burger. The other sauce that I liked is a chipotle ketchup for the burgers. While waiting on a very fast moving line to place my order my fiance’ Joanna noodged me and said “there’s Bobby Flay” and there he was, walking towards the door to leave so wanting to meet him, I moved through the crowd to introduce myself. It was easy to see he didn’t really want to be noticed in his jeans, t-shirt and hat, probably just checking out the service and turnout of his opening weekend. I told him how much I enjoy his shows and restaurants and offered him a few of my business cards in case he looks for Jersey Shore property in the future. He was very quiet but very nice and seems extremely down to earth. Other than meeting Bobby himself, the best part was the menu prices are VERY reasonable! The staff was sociable, polite and all knew their jobs well, I’ll definitely be back soon, most likely every weekend. This is easily the best burger place I’ve been to in many years. If you’re in there area and get the chance to go, don’t pass it up, go in and ENJOY! Thanks Bobby for bringing jobs and GREAT food to N.J.!
