As the new year approaches, Ocean County is buzzing with excitement, particularly in the culinary scene. The latest addition to this vibrant community is the opening of Honeygrow at the Ocean County Mall in Toms River, slated to welcome its first customers this fall. Honeygrow, a Philadelphia-based fast-casual restaurant, is renowned for its made-to-order stir-fries, salads, and delightful honey-based desserts. This new location marks the sixth Honeygrow restaurant in New Jersey, solidifying its presence in the state.
A Fresh Take on Fast Casual Honeygrow stands out with its commitment to "wholesome, simple" foods, a philosophy that resonates with today’s health-conscious consumers. Its menu features five year-round stir-fry options and one seasonal special, all made with freshly prepared noodles and packed with flavors while keeping calorie counts under 800. This approach to fast casual dining not only caters to the health-aware but also to those seeking quick, delicious meals without guilt.
Diverse Menu for Diverse Tastes What makes Honeygrow a crowd-pleaser is its inclusive menu, catering to various dietary preferences and restrictions. The "Lifestyle" menu is a testament to this inclusivity, offering paleo, keto, vegan, high protein, and Whole 30 options. Such diversity ensures that everyone, regardless of their dietary choices, can find something to savor at Honeygrow.
Family-Friendly Dining Honeygrow also places a strong emphasis on family dining. The kids' menu, specifically designed for children 12 and under, allows little ones to enjoy customizable kid-sized stir-frys and salads. This focus on family-friendly dining makes Honeygrow a perfect destination for parents looking for nutritious and appealing meal options for their children.
Sweet Endings with a Purpose Apart from savory dishes, Honeygrow is famous for its signature honeybars. These sweet treats, made with fresh fruit, three kinds of flavored honey, and various garnishes, are perfect for satisfying those sweet cravings. Moreover, every Honeygrow kids’ meal contributes to Team IMPACT, a national nonprofit organization. This collaboration creates long-term, life-changing experiences for children facing serious illnesses and disabilities by matching them with college sports teams.
