Those living in the Red Bank area have some new and expanded food options to check out.

For starters, a new dive bar + grill called Johnny Ringo’s just opened at 5308 Dayton Blvd. It offers lots of delicious-sounding appetizers, including one called Tennessee Twinkies. I know you’re curious — they’re jalapeños stuffed with pulled pork and cheese, wrapped in bacon, and smoked. Johnny Ringo’s also has several sandwich, salad, and pizza options. It’s open seven days a week, starting at 11 a.m.

Further down Dayton Boulevard, Clever Alehouse is expanding its hours. Beginning Monday, Sept. 8, it will start serving lunch seven days a week, also starting at 11 a.m. You can expect comfort food like burgers, cheesesteaks, and chicken tenders. If you’re looking for a sweet treat, the restaurant also offers hand-dipped ice cream cones. And if none of that convinced you — how about an arcade in the basement? Games are free to play from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day.
