Steakhouse needs to be at the top of your list. As part of Eat Local’s ongoing search for the best dining spots, we recently visited this charming restaurant and it did not disappoint.

We began our meal with two standout appetizers: the lollipop lamb chops and the jumbo firecracker shrimp. Both dishes showcased the kitchen’s commitment to bold flavors and quality ingredients. The lamb chops were perfectly seasoned and tender, while the shrimp delivered the ideal amount of spice, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal.

We also had the chance to try a special menu item, a tuna maki roll , which added a creative and refreshing twist to our start.

No great meal is complete without a sweet ending, and Colts Neck Inn Steakhouse delivered on this front as well. We indulged in their famous banana bread pudding — hands down one of the best desserts we've ever had. Moist, rich, and flavorful, it left a lasting impression. We also tried the divine chocolate cake, which lived up to its name with a decadent, melt-in-your-mouth experience.
