Make Mother’s Day Brunch, Dinner Reservations In East Brunswick

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — Everything Mom has done over the past year of the coronavirus pandemic should add up to an extra-special 2021 Mother’s Day celebration on Sunday, May 9. To start her the day off right, how about taking Mom to her favorite East Brunswick brunch spot?

Many restaurants and eateries are still limiting seating, so making a reservation early is especially important this year. And if you’re still undecided about going to a sit-down restaurant, curbside pickup or delivery is an option in many places.

Some hometown restaurants here in East Brunswick that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

• Gusto Grill, 1050 NJ-18, East Brunswick
• Portuguese Fisherman, 11 Jackson St, South River
• Casablanca, 320 Rues Ln, East Brunswick

But again, call ahead for reservations; some of your local favorites may be closed on Mother’s Day so the moms who work there can have a day off with their families.

Many restaurants offer prix fixe menus, signature cocktails, decadent desserts and five-star service.

Here are some suggestions to get you started:
