In February, the restaurant opened a temporary pop-up location inside Tom River's Ocean County Library, according to CBS News. While the pop-up is set to close in May, Toms River Mayor Daniel Rodrick has voiced his opinion on the initiative, reportedly claiming that the restaurant is increasing the town's homeless population by encouraging unhoused people to go the venue. Per NJ Advance Media, Rodrick said, "If they're going to turn this into a homeless shelter, hell, cut everybody a check and give them a Barnes and Noble gift card."

I don't like that kind of movement from the mayor. JBJ Soul Kitchen is a charity and an initiative that deserves praise not criticism. I find it very hard to believe that the mayor would not be supporting such an initiative that helps the community.

Bon Jovi is using all private funds, so power to him.
