"My partner and I decided to try Palmetto Southern Kitchen + Bar on a whim, after a chilly walk on the Asbury Park boardwalk. We are incredibly in love with this restaurant! The vibe is wonderful, and we really enjoyed the music from tonight's Acoustic Carousel. Our server tonight was Michael, and he was terrific. He helped us pick out different drinks to try, and had great recommendations. We really appreciated chatting with him. We only came for drinks and appetizers. My partner had the Wooden Wallflower, which he enjoyed very much. I had a -196 Strawberry Seltzer, which I thought was great. We shared the pimento cheese and crackers, as well as the cornbread. The crackers with the cheese were very unique and tasty. The cornbread was very buttery and soft and wet loved it. We are looking forward to coming back in the future to try entrees. The restaurant itself is right on the boardwalk, and the inside is comfortable and beautiful. If you happen to be on the boardwalk and are looking for a great late night restaurant to relax at, have a few drinks, and a bite to eat, give Palmetto Southern Kitchen + Bar a try!"

"I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Palmetto! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the beautiful atmosphere and thoughtful decor—it truly transported me. The Charleston-inspired bar added such a charming touch, giving off serious Charleston, SC vibes. The service was exceptional—timely, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. As for the food, the raw bar was a standout! The oysters, shrimp cocktail, and crab dip were all incredibly fresh and flavorful. We also tried the fried chicken, which was cooked to absolute perfection. The fried green tomatoes were a new dish for me, and I was so glad I gave them a try—delicious! The cacio e pepe was another highlight, rich and perfectly balanced. To finish off the meal, we shared the chocolate cake, which was not only delicious but also generously portioned—plenty for the three of us to enjoy. To top it all off, the cocktail service was top-tier, elevating the entire experience. If you love trying new cuisine in a stunning setting with amazing service, Palmetto is a must-visit. I can’t wait to go back!"

"First time visiting and WOW. Absolutely incredible. First off, the staff (especially our server Jason) were fantastic and super attentive. The Mimosa Tower is the proper way to start a brunch session. The corn bread with honey lavender butter is the best corn bread I've ever had. Just the right texture and flavor. Now onto the main......the "Low Country Breakfast".....every bit of perfection you can squeeze onto a plate. Biscuit and gravy, home fries, eggs and sausage patties. I am all about a good meal and they blew me away. I can't say enough good things about it!! Perfect portion, delicious, full of flavor and seasoned just right. We also had the steak and eggs, same thing. Steak was perfectly done, juicy and delicious. Absolutely returning to this place asap. A welcome addition to the Asbury culinary family. Worth a trip if you're heading out this way. 10/10 on everything."

"Highly recommend if you’re looking for something very filing overall good presentation, original 16 oz beer pint glasses. Shrimp excellent had a chicken wrap very good fresh cheese great quality. Place opened in March. The managers are on top of things. Place not packed we got in just before the wait. Food came fast, but wait staff seemed spread thin, large areas to cover we sat out. Very nice place this is a very modern restaurant design. I miss pops garage but this place has wonderful ambience. The wait time was improved and I think they do what they can to improve as they grow. Great Place give them a try. Not really comfort food but all natural ingredients and chef skills show in the quality of the dishes."

"Went for Thanksgiving buffet was a bit spicy and way to salty for me I have heart problems but overall never use salt I'm a garlic girl I would have loved everything more if it was garlicky instead of over salty...the price was great chooses were great loved the dark meat...we sat by boardwalk windows. Overall it was a lovely evening ☺️ 😊 ✨️"
