This Is New Jersey’s Most Popular Brunch Spot For 2023

OpenTable has released its annual list of the 100 Most Popular Brunch Spots for 2023. The online restaurant reservation service company created the list by analyzing more than 13 million diner reviews.

The list comes just in time for Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 14th) which was the second biggest dining day of 2022. Although we always try to make Mom feel special, brunch might just be the perfect option this year.

So, where are my fellow New Jerseyans dining to have the best brunch in town? Nicholas Barrel & Roost located in Red Bank, New Jersey was named the most popular brunch spot in the state following key Mother’s Day findings from the survey and OpenTable data.

According to the Barrel & Roost website, the opening of the acclaimed Restaurant Nicholas took place in 2000 which has since led the owner and chef to modernize the concept of fine dining.

“We are thrilled to be recognized as the best Brunch in New Jersey. Weekend Brunch is something we look forward to all week long. The combo of chef-driven comfort food and handcrafted drinks (plus a killer playlist!) makes for a fun, delicious vibe, and experience,” Barrel & Roost Owner Nicholas Harary told Beasley Media NJ.

The current brunch menu being offered at Barrel & Roost includes everything from soups, brunch snacks such as Ricotta Toast (pictured above), pancakes, omelets, sides, and so much more.

The list spans 22 states for 2023 with 5 featured for New York and 8 for Pennsylvania (if you’re looking to take a day trip). You can view OpenTable’s full list of the 100 Most Popular Brunch spots for 2023 by state here.
