Palumbo's - Toms River

To be honest, I've never had the desire to eat here, despite having lived in the Tom's River area for 30 years. However, we finally decided to give it a try since we received a gift certificate. On a Friday night, we enjoyed a meal that included bread, soup, a salad bar, a choice of about ten main courses, a drink, and dessert—all for just $15.95. What a fantastic value! As someone who is health-conscious, I was worried that the eggplant parmesan might be too greasy and heavy, but it turned out to be lightly fried with just the right amount of cheese and a delicious marinara sauce. My husband also loved his chicken parmesan. I’m happy to say that we’ll definitely be returning!

Honestly, I never had the desire to eat here, despite having lived along the Tom River for 30 years. However, we finally decided to try it out after receiving a gift voucher. On a Friday evening, we had a meal that included bread, soup, a salad bar, an entree (around 10 options), a drink, and dessert—all for just $15.95. What a great value! I was curious about the eggplant parmesan, wondering if it would be too greasy and heavy, but it turned out to be lightly fried with just the right amount of cheese and a generous serving of marinara sauce. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his chicken parmesan as well. I know we will definitely be returning!
