Wondering What's For Dinner? New Brick 'Food Hall' Has Answers

Wonder, described as a "food hall," is opening to the public in Brick Township on Thursday. It is next to Chuck E. Cheese in Brick Plaza.

The company describes it as a "mealtime super app operating a collection of delivery-first restaurants," where you can order from a variety of restaurants in one order and have it delivered in a "curated dining experience" that features award-winning restaurants and some of the world's best chefs.

Everything is made to order at a Wonder storefront and in addition to delivery, there are pick-up and some limited dining-in options. The set-up allows for 20 restaurants or more to operate at a single location within a 3,000-square-foot kitchen, the company says.

The Brick Township location is the 50th in the country and 15th in New Jersey. A Toms River location is anticipated to open later this summer, a representative said.

The ribbon cutting is set for 4:30 p.m., with the doors to the store opening at 5 p.m. The first 100 customers will receive a gift of Wonder merchandise, a representative said.
