Come and get it.

The Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen community restaurants in Red Bank and Toms River are now open for outdoor dining and pick-up.

The restaurants had been serving first responders only since the coronavirus outbreak began in mid March. That changed last week and the spots now offer online ordering via jbjsoulkitchen.org.

Jon Bon Jovi and wife Dorothea Bongiovi demonstrated how to order online in a video they shared on social media.

“No tuna casserole tonight, honey,” Dorothea says to Jon.

The restaurants also posted new house rules for outdoor dining. They are:
