Just amazing in every way. The atmosphere is cozy and artsy, with a relaxed vibe. The service is wonderful – staff are so incredibly nice and helpful, and seem to genuinely be so passionate about what they do and the food they serve. They are experts on their menu and answered our questions easily.
The food is just next level. Every component of every dish is incredibly fresh and made in house, and everything is just delicious. We had the fried deviled eggs (which usually includes bacon but we got it without), the Dutch baby, the grilled tomato and spinach eggs Benedict, and the creamed chipped brisket. Everything came out absolutely perfect, the presentation is gorgeous, and of course the flavor is spot on.

Kitchen519 has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants! Every visit we feel welcomed, servers truly love what they do and are knowledgeable about the menu, and every time I get the special… it is amazing! Never had a bad experience here. The smoked cream cheese appetizer is great! I had the lamb, vegetables, and cilantro lime rice with crushed pistachios special tonight and it did not disappoint! Truly amazing in every way and cannot wait to come back next week for a new special!

Kitchen 519 deserves way more than 5 stars – this place is a 10 out of 10 across the board! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. Every single dish, drink, and dessert was a masterpiece – beautifully presented and packed with bold, unforgettable flavors. You can truly taste the passion in every bite.
Our server, Ryan, was phenomenal – knowledgeable, friendly, and spot-on with his menu suggestions. You can tell he knows the menu inside and out and really cares about creating a great dining experience.
I randomly stumbled upon this hidden gem today and I’m already planning my return. If you’re looking for next-level food and top-tier service in NJ, Kitchen 519 is it.

My husband and I had date night here and it was a great experience. The food just blew us away. Presentation, creativity, service and taste – everything was just excellent. We had appetizers, dinner and a dessert and it just kept getting better. The restaurant was nice; a little more quiet than I’m used to and FYI- they do not serve alcohol. It did not even matter because it was that good. Cannot wait to return!

This is our absolute go-to brunch spot. When we went today, I got the bananas foster French toast and pork roll, and hubby got ribs, sweet potato casserole, and brisket baked beans. I usually always get the cream chipped brisket, but I wanted something sweet this time. EVERYTHING we’ve ever gotten there is phenomenal. The service is also top notch. I can’t recall his name, but our server was personable, kind, and shared his recommendations with us. We will definitely be back soon!

Excellent local restaurant! There wasn’t one thing we didn’t like! Had the chicken fried deviled eggs, kimchi calamari, the brisket cheese steak, and the pulled pork platter w/German potato salad and the maple stuffed cornbread. Also had sides of Gouda Mac and cheese and baked beans. Enough food for lunch and dinner!

You better be hungry when you show up here! Food here is very good and more varied than a cursory glance at the menu would indicate. We had fried deviled eggs (amazing) nachos with pork, chicken wings with Korean BBQ sauce, and a jersey cheesesteak.
The smoked BBQ is great and adds depth to any dish that includes it. The wings were fried and smoked, wonderful!
The prices are very fair as the portions are quite generous we got 2 entrees and 2 apps for just over $60. Can’t wait to go back and try more things off the menu!
Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Burnt brisket ends with brussel sprouts and Gouda Mac n cheese
Inside out burger cooked medium with garlic Parm fries and side of German potato salad
Hands down the best meal I have eaten in the last two years. Kitchen 519 is very quaint but shows up and puts out top tier food. Will be back. I don’t even have words to describe how good the burnt ends were. Just phenomenal!
