I am a simple man - if I see that the pulled pork sandwich is available on the specials menu for d'jeet?, I immediately order it. Everything about this sandwich is fantastic! I'm not going to say much about this, because I think the picture does it justice. Still, I'll say, it's chock full of pulled pork, oozing with melted cheese all over, and the bun is magnifique! Pair the sandwich with their regular fries or upgrade to truffle fries and you're in for a surely satisfying meal. I've paired this in the past with an easy-drinking, lighter ABV beer like a 6% IPA - Lil Shimmy Ye from Twin Elephant, Sneakbox from Kane Brewing, or Low Visibility from Magnify Brewing are all excellent choices! Salud! And bon appetit!
We're right in the middle of summer and with the much warmer temperatures outside this year, it's an absolute boon to find a spot in Red Bank to have some good beer and some good food outside. Although I'd already been to Red Rock back in January/February as chronicled by this earlier review, I haven't really stopped going since. The menu is ever changing and with Kane's Head High and Carton's BOAT consistently on tap, it makes it a no-brainer to sit outside and have some great specials along with some wonderful brews. As per the usual, Kiersten took care of the bar and food orders with top-notch service.
The first item were the bacon cheeseburger lollipops. Although only 3 are pictured, the order does come with 6. The lollipops have a risotto base for the outside that holds the inside together. Nice chunks of bacon, burger, and cheese are filled throughout. It comes with a side of house coleslaw and some spicy pickles. These are the same pickles used in the Cuban sandwich from my earlier review - fantastic! The bacon cheeseburger lollipops themselves are well worth the ordering and even sharing.
Short rib tacos are phenomenal at Red Rock. I already loved the short rib used in the actual sandwich, so the tacos almost seemed like a slam dunk of a decision. Chock full of the short rib meat and topped with some crumbled cheese, lettuce and a pico de gallo, you can enjoy these by yourself or share with someone as well.
Over the course of these past few months, I've had these two great food items and then some. The specials are consistently updated and I've had such a thing as a hot dog with chilli wrapped in a tortilla that's much more amazing than it sounds written on paper. The jerk baby back ribs are also amazing, but buyer beware - these are some of the spiciest and hottest ribs I've had in recent memory. As we come closer to Red Rock's first year, I'm glad at all the progress this establishment has made since opening and I hope it becomes a permanent pillar within Red Bank eateries. Salud!
I was very surprised that I stumbled into what seemed to be d'jeet's first brunch service. Now I've been here multiple times and did a review back in April, 2016 and they were my first featured section of Quick Bites just over a month ago with their Short Rib Grilled Cheese. Yet, I couldn't pass up the chance of visiting and seeing what these exciting new brunch items were. Again, d'jeet? is BYOB so fire up your favorite champagne or bring your favorite morning beer. This time around, we look at two new items: The Eggy Biscuit and the Jenny Benny.
Looks can be deceiving. You'd think the Eggy Biscuit ($8) was the size of a normal biscuit from this picture, but it's not. This delectable breakfast muffin was the size of a burger bun and filled with scrambled eggs, gooey muenster cheese and soppresata. It's a phenomenal breakfast item, but make sure you get your pre-brunch workout in, the muffin is pretty massive.
The Jenny Benny ($11) is a star of a brunch item. Filled with cheese melted to perfection, avocado and eggs cooked over medium, this was a definite favorite for the morning. The croissant is absolutely stellar and done perfectly. It's buttery, flaky and yet retains a certain amount of crisp that excites any ingredient within it. Again, the size in the picture can be a little misleading, it's actually bigger than it looks. It does come with a side of fresh fruit to serve as a palate cleanser or dessert, if you will.
Both items are highly recommended if d'jeet? does continue to feature brunch during the weekends. I'm unsure as to whether this was a test run or not, but I support the idea since this restaurant is a prime location for something like brunch. With a BYOB set in place, the sky is the limit as far as how fun you want this brunch to be, but rest assured, the brunch menu delivers the goods. Salud!
