Shut Up & Eat

Wish I could give this place more then 5 stars. Stumbled upon this place coming home from Atlantic City. It was some of the best food I’ve had at a breakfast spot. The eggs Benedict was perfect I had the Canadian bacon and avocado and my friend had the classic Canadian bacon. The eggs Benedict were served perfectly poached. There was plenty of hollandaise sauce and it was flavorful and seasoned. Even the potatoes were delicious. Also had to try the stuffed french toast and waffle. Both tasted amazing. Everything came out hot and fresh. The guy who took our order, was very friendly and funny. Would 1000% would come again. Also Cash only as a heads up.

So much fun and the food was amazing. Sarcasm and sense of humor required to fully enjoy. Thomas was great! We were in the area for a dance completion and stopped for breakfast. The food was amazing. The staff was awesome and love all the decor. They were doing a cancer fundraiser, color these wooden ribbons and they were going to donate them to kids with cancer. What a great cause! Don't miss this place. It's small and wait times can be long but well worth it!

Friends and myself go to lunch at least once a month, trying different places each time. Shut Up and Eat is unusual, compared to many breakfast/lunch places It's one of those places who's theme is to be eclectic thru-out. it's a Hodge Podge of mismatched chairs, silverware, plates, thrift shop and junk items and license plates and stickers everywhere. it's a medium sized rectangle space with roomy tables and a menu that has well over 100 items on it. The breakfast side and lunch side are poorly marked and easily you'll be looking at the wrong side. Each side should clearly marked at the top in large font. NOTE: it is small print but legible, but like the decor, it is cluttered. Two of us had hot pastrami Rubins with fries, the third had meatloaf. I really enjoyed mine and the other Rubin eater said it was ok, but he really wanted breakfast (which is all day) and the meatloaf had no complaints. Back to the clutter. Where there's not stuff either on a shelf or hanging from the wall, then it likely has a bumper sticker over it. Such is the men's room door. There are so many stickers that the small Men's Room sign was lost in the stickers. The owner overheard our conversation and he joined it like he knew us. It was a good talk and really was fun. We were there an hour and a half, which is what we aim for when lunching. The other theme is you get 13% off if you wear a full matching PJ outfit. Also he runs a charity for needy children at Christmas. So for a first timer there, we each had a drink (12oz cans) and our meal came to $49 - no where is cheap any more $15-$20 each for breakfast sounds nuts, but that's everywhere today.

We were driving through from Wildwood, NJ to Shawnee, PA and wanted to eat at a local place that we couldn’t get back at home. We found Shut Up and Eat on maps during our drive and I’m glad we did! The exterior was inviting and cute with lots of chairs and tables on a lake of pebbles. The servers are welcoming and seated us immediately. Our server was Phoebe and she is sensational! I ordered the Annie Sammich, my husband ordered the Elvis Presley burger, our son ordered the Chorizo burger and our daughter ordered the naked dog. All of our food was amazing! I was intrigued with my order when Annie (herself) came over and educated me on how she came up with the dish and even pulled my hair back for me as I took my first bite. Our entire family agreed we would definitely have this again and we had zero regrets on what we ordered. Would recommend this eatery to anyone and everyone!

Great food. Ordering window or go inside. Perfect place to eat breakfast outside with your dogs before you take the dogs to Island Beach State Park!
