Famous musicians Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi pay a visit to a restaurant in Freehold
In the heart of New Jersey, two legendary rock stars, Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, have a shared fondness for a local restaurant - Roberto's Freehold Grill. The eatery, located in Freehold Borough, has become a favored spot for the musicians, who often visit the establishment to unwind and enjoy a bite to eat.
According to reports, Springsteen, a native of Freehold and current Colts Neck resident, has been a frequent patron of Roberto's Freehold Grill throughout 2025. His presence there, combined with that of Bon Jovi, suggests that the restaurant is a cherished local spot for both rock legends.

Springsteen and Bon Jovi's shared love for good food and company extends beyond Roberto's Freehold Grill. Bon Jovi was spotted at Max's Bar and Grill in Long Branch earlier this year, while his visit to the same establishment in 2022 was with a friend from out of town.
The two rockers are also known to take long drives together, as documented in the Hulu docuseries "Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story." These drives, which are often without radio, phones, or any other company, provide the musicians with a chance to catch up and enjoy each other's company.
