After going to the Monmouth Museum to see one of Jodi’s paintings that made it into an exhibition there, we ended up for a family dinner at The Pour House in Red Bank, NJ. A big restaurant, really crowded, with a mix of diners and patrons sitting at the bar, this place seemed to be like a neighborhood favorite where you hang out on a Saturday evening. Luckily, as we were a big table, we ended up in a “private” room, that only had one long table, more spacious and less noisy for sure.

The menu there was a bit overwhelming, with so many choices that I was not sure what to eat! They have what you would expect in this type of establishment. For instance, for appetizers, they serve a giant pretzel (with cheddar cheese sauce and spicy brown mustard), mozzarella sticks and wings, but also pierogis and a French onion soup that was delicious, topped with crunchy frizzled onions.

For the entrees, on top of steak, pasta or fish, they have classic burgers, chicken sandwiches, a French dip that is quite good, and a veggie burger with a homemade patty called the Thin Vinnie, that is not so thin. I would say that adding “thin” to any dish is sarcastic as the portions of the entrees are big. And I did not mention the desserts that were huge, all served “a la mode” that is with vanilla ice cream. Although the Toll House pie seems impressive, the apple crisp is the star of the show: comforting and decadent.

So, yes, The Pour House is a good find if you are in the area: the food is good and the portions big, so, if you go, you better come with an appetite!

Enjoy (I did)!
