Roy Rogers

A Roy Rogers found in the wild! It’s a real treat getting Roy’s not in a rest area on the Turnpike. My father was dying for some roast beef and chicken, so we made the short trek up here and had a really good fast food lunch.
I remember back in the 90’s Roy’s and Arby’s both having sacks of roast beefs sandwiches for really cheap prices. It was like 5 for $ 5 or something. Well those days are long gone. Each sandwich was about $ 5 and there wasn’t any selection. It was a roast beef sandwich and you had the fixins bar to go to.
We ended up grabbing a couple of sandwiches and some chicken with biscuits, mashed potatoes, gravy and mac & cheese. Everything was ready quickly and we packed up our car and headed home.
The roast beef was just as good as I remembered. With the sauce and horseradish It gave that thing a nice kick. The chicken was good, a little too greasy for my taste, but really much better than say KFC. The potatoes were good, but obviously a mix. The mac & cheese was very good.
It was a delicious lunch and a wonderful throwback to the 1980’s for me. We used to have a Roy’s fairly close when I was a kid and this brought back the memories.

Great place for quick bite around the area. Clean and everyone was pleasant to deal with.
Food is good. Chicken is bueno and shakes are tasty.

Living in Brick, I have heard rumors that Roy Rogers will be opening another restaurant in our area in the next year. Until then I will head to Pine Beach and eat the most delicious roast beef sandwiches in all of fast food land. Their burgers are really tasty and I would say the quality exceeds most offerings by the chain places. Finally their fried chicken blows KFC out of the water. The biggest problem I have with Roy Rogers is making a decision which way I will go! The roast beef sandwich usually wins.
I also had breakfast once and found that too was enjoyable.
One thing I must add. I have eaten in and taken out. They wrap the sandwiches in that part aluminum foil and part paper wrap. I think the food continues to cook a little so by the time I get home the meat can be dried out or well done. That is why I try to eat there if I can. The place is old school. It could be 1979 – 1985 in there but the place is clean as a whistle and all of my experiences with the employees have been positive.
The food is pricey for fast food but well worth the extra $ 1 or so and the inevitable trek down Rte 9 and the traffic. Until there is one in Brick, this place is just fine!

Not a happy camper. Just went to the drive through with family and ordered 51.00 of food, get home and they forgot ½ out order !! By the time we got home they were closed. I ALWAYS check however this time I just took bags and left. I am calling in the morning and they best refund what they forgot or give me what they forgot. I am hoping they do not give me a problem
For their mistake or I will be livid. Ok follow up to my prior interview ^ I now give Roy’s an A+. I called today and spoke to a really nice gentleman, no questions asked he gracefully, kindly and SO apologetically replaced what had been forgotten ! Oh and by the way the food has always been outstanding. This review had nothing to do with that. This Roy’s reminds me of the one I used to go to as a child.

All restaurants can take notes from the way this Fast Food place is run. «They run a tight ship» my grandpa would say. The place is always clean. The employees are sharply uniformed and stay busy. There is always an adult manager present and clearly in charge. The food is the same Roy Rogers menu but so much better than the overpriced Turnpike trash where you usually find a Roy’s. The food is hot and fresh and very tasty. For those that don’t know, the menu is burgers and fries but with fried chicken, roast beef sandwiches, and a free fixins bar with lettuce, onions, pickles and condiments. If you have not had Roy’s in a while this place will take you back. The sides are mac and cheese, baked beans, slaw etc. My only complaint is that there are no fresh veggies any where on the menu. If there were anything on the menu to help it remotely resemble a healthy meal like corn on the cob, string beans, carrots etc., I would probably eat here more often. The dining room is exceptionally clean and bright with big family size booths. We have had dinners here with in-​laws including 6 adults and 2 kids (My FIL is a fried chicken connoisseur). This place is a stand out when your wallet or your cravings bring you down to this level of indulgence. My wife gave herself a night off and brought this home tonight which sparked this review. It was excellent again. Next time we will do salad and steam some veggies and not feel guilty one bit.

Notable for being the last standalone Roy Rogers in the State of New Jersey, I feel fortunate to live nearby. Unlike the disgusting offerings awaiting desperate travellers under heat lamps at highway rest stops around the region, this Roy’s does it like you remember from your childhood: hot and fresh, every time.
