🍔 FOOD & 🍹 DRINK

🥞 Hangar 36

A brand new eatery has taken over the last remaining Perkins location in Monmouth County. Hangar 36 opened earlier earlier this month and is already getting great BUZZ from the foodies. It’s a modern, aviation-themed diner located in the Airport Plaza, serving an extensive menu of classic American comfort food alongside Italian and Mexican-inspired dishes, available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant features a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with themed décor and offers a wide range of popular items like burgers, skillets, omelettes, and specialty dishes such as "Pork Roll Egg and Cheese Sliders" on pancakes, as well as dinner entrees like pot roast and chicken parmesan. They also have gluten-free options.

Big bonus…Hangar 36 is BYO!! They’re open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and 8am to 9 pm on Friday and Saturday. They also offer delivery via Grubhub and DoorDash.
