Houlihan's - American restaurant in Holmdel - 2136 NJ-35, USA

Just finished buying cat food from petsmart and I was hungry 😋. I've never been in Houlihan's ( today is the day ). Ice place, I've heard good things about this place. I ordered the stuffed roasted chicken ( excellent 😋) and a piece of chocolate capachinno cake ( w/ chocolate and vanilla ice cream delicious 😋). The service was very good, no complaints. I highly recommend this place, 👍👍👍👍👍

First time dining, visiting from NC. We made a reservation and were seated within minutes. Not very busy so service was fast and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious Prime rib cooked med was perfect!! Chicken parm was a bountiful portion. We would visit this chain again.

Food was excellent, all at table enjoyed their meal. Drinks were expensive, but seems that's normal. Seating, in our case were bench seats which are low and a bit difficult to get in/out of, but comfortable. Service was a bit slow, guessing due to lack of staffing. Don't forget to ask for extras, ketchup, sugar, etc. as only salt and pepper are on the table. Keep in mind their are two sides, bar and dinning, your choice.

Nice place in Hazlet, there was no line even though it was fairly busy. The food was the draw here excellent overall full of flavors and very tasty. The Prime Rib was an excellent cut cooked to perfection. The Salmon was served with delicious roasted garlic and tasty mashed potatoes.

I love this place. Great food, Great drinks, and Great service. The bartender Joey Bats is awesome. The Kid is probably 120 lbs soaking wet but he makes one mean margarita that will knock your socks off! I’ve been coming here for over 20 years and the menu has changed a bit over the years. They’ve added some good stuff and also have eliminated some good stuff to the menu. My only beef is they got rid of the Jambalaya and that was a gut punch.

I had one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and Joey was an OUTSTANDING server. If you come here I totally recommend you ask for Joey as your server. He has a great sense of humor, very attentive, and he put a smile on all our faces every time we talked to him. My family has lived in this area for over 20 years and so far this has been our best experience. He was also very understanding and friendly with my brother who has autism. Great food, great service and I’m excited to come back soon!

I have not been at this location in a long time. They constantly send emails for 10% off and you also get a free coupon for your birthday and I thought I would try it out. A few days before my birthday. Horrible customer service by the teenagers that work there. I did not want to sit in a certain section because the lights were too bright and I asked for a booth and they told me it was closed. When three of the four of the booths were open. I've worked in restaurants for many years and it's very simple to just inform a waiter that they need to pick up a table in another section. I'm the customer I should sit where I feel most comfortable. So I said I'll come back another time and then I asked for a manager. I got a horrible attitude from this Hostess slamming the table settings down and when the waitress came over she leaned against the booth making a big frown. Like she was sooooo disapointed in me, wahh wahh. I felt like I was in the middle of Bartleby the Scrivener where the staff just preferred not to do their job today. I finally spoke to a manager and he was very understanding and genuinely assured me and asked me to please stay but I could not because I was so aggravated and did not trust that anything will happen to my food between the kitchen and my table

If I could put zero stars I would, today's service was the worst and I've come here a couple of times already but I will not coming back to this location. First we were sat down and asked for drinks I asked for a simple 2 cokes and one water went ahead also put in our order for everything because we were there for a quick lunch we got there at 2:45 didn't leave till 4:00. Our appetizers were brought out before our drinks the server didn't even notice we had to say something 20 minutes later because he took so long I no longer wanted my coke so we asked if it could be switched to 1 coke 2 waters was told yes and he showed up with the 2 cokes either way we didn't think much of it because he took so long maybe he wasn't going to charge us. We had asked for our desserts to go because the wait was terribly long and even that took about 20 minutes after we had already packed everything in our take home boxes we started questioning if they had forgotten about our dessert still no check either. When we finally got our check and dessert at the same time. We were still charged for the the two sodas which I had let go because yes we did receive them but I decided I was going to leave a smaller tip due to the time it was taking and not listening to instructions. I payed through their touch-less pay option stated on the receipt and headed out when I was stopped in the parking lot by the waiter asking if I was going to pay. I couldn't believe what was happening. I showed him my emailed receipt and was asked to go inside to show his manager (meanwhile I'm 9 months pregnant due at any moment) I waddled back and spoke to the manager where all he had to say was "I'm sorry". He didn't know that the touch-less pay was an option. How are you a manager?? I complained about how long everything took and his servers mistakes, that he was lucky I still left him a tip and that I didn't complain before leaving. I still wasn't offered any kind of compensation and I'm way too prideful to ask for any. I just walked out completely upset. I used to enjoy coming here what a shame!
