About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Kid-friendly
Good for groups

Since 1972, we’ve believed in quality ingredients, cooking from scratch and having fun. From our famous ‘Shrooms and Stuffed Chicken Breast to our unique burger blend and ahi tuna, we believe in celebrating the small things and that every moment deserves a toast in its honor. So grab a drink (perhaps our signature Long Island Iced Tea), enjoy some great conversation and let us serve you an excellent meal.

Houlihan's of Holmdel is definitely one of my go to dining places. I always ask for my favorite server Colleen (for over 10+ years) as her customer service skills are top notch. She is knowledgeable, great attitude, and makes great recommendations. Besides the made to order food; like the french onion soup which is the best in NJ, awesome chicken wings, tasty salads, perfect salmon, delicious hamburgers, just to name a few good foods, Colleen is a main reason why my family and I have been a regular for so many years. A shout out also to Al, one of the managers who is also a staple at the Holmdel Houlihan's. He is a true customer service person and he always greets you with a big smile. Had dinner there last night and it did not disappoint; I tried a seasonal dish stuffed shrimp with crabmeat over risotto - delicious. Dessert was another seasonal choice a deconstructed smores - also delicious!

Potato soup was very good, but my wife had the onion soup which was salty. The appetizer was good we shared the prime rib egg rolls with horseradish sauce, but the cheese dip was lousy.

Went for dinner with a friend to celebrate her bday. Waitress Sabrina was very sweet and thoughtful. They have a few new items on menu. I ordered the creole orrichete pasta dish was good a bit too oily for me but had a good kick to it nothing too spicy. Chicken to shrimp ratio good. If u sign up for their rewards points u get either an entree or dessert free on bday. Cheesecake was a bit too sweet for me. Manager came around to check in. Overall would recommend for a night out. Bar area was hopping.

All good. Great place. One issue yesterday was that large birthday crowd was standing between the bar and the hi-top tables. The servers couldn't get through with trays They were brushing against friends of ours who are also regulars at Houlihan's and who were eating dinner. They decided to take their meals to go and they left. Suggestion, with groups like that gathering for drinks with gifts, perhaps the management can offer them an area in the dining room and maybe give a small break like $10 off the check if they agree to move.
