GOOD MOOD Burgers & Shakes

GOOD MOOD Burgers & Shakes, located at 100 US-9 in Manalapan Township, New Jersey, is a beloved gourmet burger destination that evolved from a popular food truck operation. Co-owners Dean and Emily, a husband and wife team, bring impressive culinary credentials to their restaurant, having graduated from the prestigious New England Culinary Institute in Vermont and previously worked in fine dining establishments. The restaurant has garnered significant recognition, including the Thunder Best Award for their famous Truffle Fries at the Jersey Shore Food Truck Festival in 2019, and the Best Use of Bacon award for their Country Fried Bacon Burger at the Beer, BBQ, Bacon Showdown. Their signature 6oz Angus beef burgers are served on buttery brioche buns and feature creative toppings like melted Parmesan, black truffle aioli, applewood smoked bacon, and their proprietary MOOD Sauce. The menu offers an impressive variety including the loaded Mac Burger with fried mac 'n' cheese, the Avocado BLT Cheeseburger with chipotle aioli, and the Jersey Burger featuring local pork roll and a fried egg. Customers rave about their thick, hand-spun milkshakes and crispy fries. The restaurant maintains two phone lines for dining reservations and catering inquiries, and continues to serve the community with the same passion for flavor that inspired their original food truck concept, Good Food = Good Mood.
