Here is a recent review of JBJ Soul Kitchen:
My wife and I had the joy of being able to visit JBJ Soul Kitchen while we were in New Jersey. The staff, all of which are volunteers, were amazing. The food was outstanding, we had the white bean soup, the salmon and the beef bolognese, and the chef's choice for dessert. We even had the pleasure of talking with the executive chef and learning more about how and why they do what they do. The love for the people that everyone shared was visible in everything they did. If you are ever near the Red Bank area in NJ, I highly recommend you take the chance to share in the food and the mission of the JBJ Soul Kitchen.
To the staff and chef, thank you for a wonderful meal and experience at your table!
