Eatontown Diner Giving Away Free Thanksgiving Meals

EATONTOWN, NJ — A diner with locations in Eatontown and Freehold Twp. is not only open on Thanksgiving Day, but their menu will also be entirely free.

It may seem unthinkable to see this happening in an industry that has suffered so much in the pandemic — New Jersey restaurants. But the owners of All Seasons Diner say they know there are people who really need it.

"These past several months have been very difficult with everything going on," said Nick Zavolas, a part owner of All Seasons Diner. “Despite all the difficulties, we thought this would be a nice way to give back to the community who has supported us through the years.”

All Seasons in Eatontown and Freehold will offer free meals to guests from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 26.

The diners will serve a limited menu, free of charge. Breakfast options include eggs, French toast, pancakes and an omelet, and dinner is roasted turkey and chicken with homemade stuffing, baked ham with fruit sauce, and meatloaf with mushroom gravy, plus sides of sweet yams, turnips and turkey soup.

Only walk-ins will be seated; reservations will not be accepted. Gratuities for the staff are welcome.

The owners of All Seasons are Mike Zavolas (father) and Nick Zavolas (son) both locations, Louie Hatziminas in Freehold (part owner), Manny Vergis Freehold (part owner) and Nick Halkias in Eatontown (part owner).
