Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Monthly Dinner Club this past Wednesday. Your energy made the evening unforgettable, and we couldn’t have done it without cocktails by @_maggiechfig92 and @ninacontento and the incredible talents of Chef Tim and his team.

We decided to start the carousel of photos with the star of the show: a succulent jerk-marinated bone-in pork chop paired with pineapple chutney, smashed plantains and spiced mango reduction, transporting everyone straight to the islands.

Next, the citrus-shrimp starter shimmered atop creamy avocado mousse, drizzled with sweet-tart pineapple reduction and crowned with micro cilantro.

Then we went back to the very beginning with a playful amuse-bouche: velvety pumpkin purée brightened by toasted coconut, Caribbean spices and a kiss of lime-infused oil that awakened every palate.

Just when you thought the flavors couldn’t get any cozier, a bowl of creamy coconut curry soup laced with pineapple notes and warming spices warmed your soul.

Finally, we closed the night on a sweet note with moist coconut rum cake crowned by caramelized banana, candied ginger and a tangy hibiscus drizzle. Proof that dessert can be pure paradise.

Next month we’re taking you to Northern Italy, featuring smoked dishes paired with wines from the region. Tickets drop next week. Stay tuned to bring a taste of Italy to your table.

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our dear friend and regular, Paul, affectionately known here as Chef.

Paul first joined us on a date night with his beloved wife. He used to say she insisted she hated hamburgers, yet she could not resist ours. When illness kept her at home, Paul would pick up burgers for them both, calling it “my cooking.” In those moments, he made our kitchen feel like his own and earned his nickname.

Paul never held back his suggestions, good or bad, because he wanted this place to succeed. We cherished his honest feedback. After his wife passed away, Paul continued to come back, bringing friends, family, and his over-55 trivia team. On many of those visits, he would bring his faithful dog, whose gentle presence offered comfort to him and a smile to everyone who met her. On Tuesday nights their laughter and fierce competition filled our dining room and lifted our spirits.

Every Tuesday Paul would check in with @_maggiechfig92 about her favorite IPA so he could surprise her with something new. We looked forward to that simple ritual almost as much as we looked forward to seeing him.

Tonight we will pour a fresh IPA in his honor. The photo he gave us from his last trip to Ireland has hung in our office since the moment he handed it over. That photo will sit beside the beer as a reminder of Paul’s joy, his generosity, and the excitement he felt discovering a Freddy’s bar on both sides of the pond.

We are crushed that we will no longer hear his footsteps on Tuesday nights or see his bright smile. Our hearts ache with his absence, yet we take comfort knowing he has been reunited with the wife he loved so dearly.

Every month, our Dinner Club brings a fresh theme and a new five-course adventure. This May, we’re turning up the heat with a Caribbean escape right here in Mays Landing.

We’ll start with a playful amuse-bouche: velvety pumpkin puree brightened by toasted coconut, Caribbean spices, and a kiss of lime-infused oil. Next, dive into citrus-kissed shrimp perched atop silky avocado mousse, drizzled with pineapple reduction and garnished with micro cilantro for freshness.

Midway through, warm your soul with a bowl of coconut curry soup, subtly sweet from island pineapples and spiced just right. Then comes the main event: a bone-in pork chop marinated in fiery jerk seasoning, served alongside smashed plantains, pineapple chutney, and a lush spiced mango reduction that brings the tropics to your plate.

No Caribbean meal is complete without a sweet finish. Our coconut rum cake arrives with caramelized banana, candied ginger, and a tangy hibiscus reduction—proof that paradise can be savored in every bite.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Freddy J’s!

Moms are the driving force behind our success.

They are backbone of every great story.

Moms are the only one who can put us in our place when we get a little too full of ourselves.

Just ask @jeffrey.link0614.

His mom laid a haymaker on him once when he got too rowdy.

Don’t worry about him.

He’s fine.

His pride? Not so much, but he took it in stride.

But her love?

Way tougher than his jaw.

Last Wednesday, we brought New Orleans to Mays Landing for Dinner Club and it was an absolute vibe.

We served up:
- Creole Heirloom Tomato Salad with Zesty Red Wine Vinaigrette
- Crab & Corn Custard
- Gulf Oyster Duo
- Shrimp Étouffée
- New Orleans-Style Beignets with Sweet Cinnamon Cream Dip

Every bite hit with that bold, soulful flavor straight from the French Quarter.

Dinner Club goes down the last Wednesday of every month and you’re invited. Dinners are never replicated or duplicated.

Next up, Caribbean. You won’t want to miss this one.

What Our Customers Have to Say About Us

I’ve gone to Freddy J’s numerous times and most recently decided it was time to leave my 5-star mark on this fine establishment. Their menu evolved over time but their staple items continue to improve as well. The bang bang shrimp is always a great starter and the St. Louis ribs are smoked so well and fall right off the bone. The excellent atmosphere inside and friendly wait staff when I take out.Can’t say enough good things and also looking forward to coming back again!
