The 5 locations are in Red Bank, Toms River, New Jersey City University, Rutgers University in Newark, and the new Pop-Up location in Toms River.

According to their website "JBJ Soul Kitchen is a non-profit Community Restaurant established by the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. We serve paying customers and those in-need. If you are unable to pay, we invite you into our restaurant to enjoy a warm meal and learn about volunteering opportunities at JBJ Soul Kitchen. If you can donate, we ask that you make a suggested donation and also Pay it Forward. We provide a dining experience that fosters a sense of community and addresses issues of food insecurity."

One of their mottos is "Hope is Delicious" and when you think about this restaurant it's not surprising that a recent article published by the New York Post rated the JBJ Soul Kitchen as the BEST "celebrity" owned restaurant in America.
