In the world of celebrity-owned restaurants, Jon Bon Jovi’s JBJ Soul Kitchen tops the list, according to two different studies. It received 93.35% five-star reviews on Tripadvisor and Google.
Jon and his wife, Dorothea, opened the non-profit restaurant in Red Bank, NJ in 2011 to serve the community. There are no prices listed on the menu, and diners pay what they can for their meal – or they can donate hours back to the diner.
Now with three other New Jersey locations in Newark, Jersey City and Tom’s River, they’ve served 187,000 meals with 57 percent of them earned by volunteering, and 43 percent paid with donations.
In other words, Jon Bon Jovi continues to demonstrate that, in addition to being a great musician, he’s just a really solid dude.
