Mother’s Day Brunch, Dinner Reservations In South Brunswick Area

SOUTH 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 South Brunswick area 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 the South Brunswick area that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

• La Taverna, 375 Georges Rd, Dayton
• Saanjh Indian Cuisine, 304 Georges Rd, Dayton
• Ember Restaurant Bar and Banquet, 3793 US-1, Monmouth Junction
• El Toro Loco, 3000 NJ-27, Kendall Park
• Mistral, 66 Witherspoon Street, Princeton

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 more suggestions to get you started:

LongHorn Steakhouse, located at 2251 US-1, in North Brunswick offers cuts like Flo’s Filet and Outlaw Ribeye along with other signature dishes. Curbside service available.
