50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Avon By The Sea

“First time here… was delicious! Can’t wait to try the Thursday dinners!!!“

“Ate here with my family after a day at the beach. We were a loud hungry bunch and the pizza did not disappoint. The pizza was hot and very fresh and the sauce was delicious. It was not greasy and the crust was just the right amount of crunchy. We will definitely be back!! Highly recommend!!!“

“I searched for a restaurant in Asbury that offered vegan, gluten free options and came across Reyla’s. I’m so happy I found this gem! I truly appreciate the thought that went in to create these dishes. Most restaurants don’t put much thought into offerings for people with dietary restrictions. There was something for everyone in our party. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with an amazing flavor profile and presentation. We all loved each dish including dessert. Jules was our delightful server who was attentive, professional and great at her job.“

“Absolutely love what Makana’s has brought to Asbury Park! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a burst of fresh, inviting aromas and a smile from the friendly staff. I tried their signature Philly Wrap and the Ube latte, both of which were out of this world!“

“I have been going to Ada’s for probably close to a decade if not longer. I am familiar with Ethiopian cuisine and she truly delivers every time. While I can’t speak to the other cuisines I have learned over time that her heart is in every dish. The doro wot is top! (Well it all is). The AP location is lovely. I can’t wait to go back, and that is coming from a Californian.“

“friendly helpful staff. lots of options, flight is a great way to taste a few“

“We have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and finally decided to take the drive this evening and it was so worth it! The service was so personable and friendly! That said we knew it was going to be a good evening before even trying our food! Then we had the tuna pizza and ceviche PHENOMENAL! We asked if we could have chips with the ceviche and at first they were unsure but they made it happen and it was so good! We also tried three rolls and honestly they were some of the best we've ever had! We cannot wait to be back!“

“Was lucky to snag a chef's counter reservation on Friday. The service and food was amazing. We had the latke and pork chop paired with a really lovely wine. We loved the Harry's bar so much that we returned the next night for cocktails and snacks.“

“Great food! The Burgers are amazing!!“

“The food was spectacular, great service, quick to get seated even though they were super busy. Not a single note.“

“Popped in on a whim and met staff for the first time. Welcoming, friendly, and immaculate store. The assortment of sandwiches on the menu will please all. Ordered Sloppy Russian, Antico, & Italian… delicious. Big City Sandwiches for sure. Fresh breads. So happy to have such a great deli in town. Will certainly be back soon to try another.“

“Best coffee & danishes in NJ, hands down.“

“Really great sushi and perfect service!“

“My sisters and I enjoyed a most delightful lunch at Tatum’s Table today. Jeanine, our server, greeted us at the door and made us feel like her purpose was for us to have a memorable dining experience. Mission accomplished! Thanks, Jeanine! The food was delicious; the presentation was beautiful; and the restroom was thoughtfully appointed. We had a terrific time.“

“This is the best food so far so good one of the best counter got to be young lady name Jessie she so sweet and kind and helpful“

“The matcha here is excellent! I love that their menu offers different drink styles that you can order with matcha, coffee, or hojicha. I got an iced matcha, Kuromi's style, and it was delicious! The folks running the shop are so sweet. Will definitely be back to try all the different styles!“

“We visited the juice Basin on a trip to Asbury Park. The smoothies were amazing, service was friendly and helpful. It was a hot day and a long walk to get there. Was able to stay as long as we wanted too, to cool down. Very Much appreciated!!! It was a long walk from the beach, but was worth the trip.“

“Great lagers. No food, but the sports bar Baseline Social is in the same building and they do have food. The type of small operation that should be supported.“

“Beer and pizza. So Yummy!!“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“I highly recommend Confections of a Rock$tar! Hands down the BEST cupcakes around!“

“What is referred by my brother-in-law i was not disappointing“

“I love this place!!! I went there with my family from Florida, and everyone loved the food and vibe! We had the Jumbo Smoked Wings, the Big Texas Tots and the Smoked Pork Belly for appetizers which were all delicious. We ordered the Pulled Chicken BBQ Platter, the Burger, the Brisket Sandwich and Ribs which were all equally as delicious. You have to check this place out ASAP!!“

“This is the cutest location weve been to yet. Really friendly staff and awesome vibes coming from this place. there's nowhere to really chill but you shouldn't be hanging there for too long anyway because there's too much life to live outside“

“last visit i had the red hot love fresh pressed juice that exploded with flavors! this time I had the tasty avocado toast and the local favorite, Belmar Banger smoothie! better than expected! relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff! can't wait to try more!“

“Great beer and variety. Nice location. Family friendly.“

“Second time here today and such wonderful smoothies!! Great kid friendly place also with smaller size smoothie bowls. The shakes were absolutely delicious and loved the ingredients! Can't wait to visit again when in town. Lovely gem of a place!!“

“What a gem! Super cute venue, perfect for intimate gathering or workshops! The food is amazing, the staff is the greatest and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting! Really enjoyed my time there!“

“Great food, good service, and I like how it’s a boat themed restaurant“

“Have been in a number of times to eat but recently placed a catering order for a birthday party. The owner, Tom, gave me perfect recommendations for how much to order for the number of guests and made ordering, paying + pickup beyond easy (including some extras like rolls, sauces and pickled onions). The food was the talk of the party!! People couldn't stop going back for more and asking where it came from. Will definitely be back again and again!“

“The best! Great food and service. They are always taking extra steps to make sure we are satisfied“

“I had the pleasure to have catering services from Rosa's Kitchen for my retirement/60th birthday back in June 2023. We always want to share our Puertorican cuisine to our guests when we have special events at home. We had "arroz con gandules, pollo guisado, ensalada de papa" among other selections. Our guests were so impressed and satisfied with the texture and the flavor of our Puertorican cuisine thanks to your service. We definitely recommend Rosa's Kitchen for catering services. Muchas gracias.“

“Was excellent on DoorDash. Hot and fresh. The corn tortillas didnt fall apart. Prices are good for the quantity of food.“

“Found this spot after a cycling event. The service was quick, the food was fresh and delicious. We ordered the Salmon frittata and the Kale frittata and split the lemon ricotta pancakes w/fresh strawberries. Lots of fresh & seasonal options for even the pickiest eaters. Would definitely visit First Watch when I am in the area.“

“Their delicious Ice cream sundaes! 😋👍❤️“

“Always fantastic. The best beef tenderloin. Great taste and texture. My favorite from Drew's market. They also made fantastic Chicken cordon bleu with Bell and Evans chicken. Friendly staff and excellent food..“

“We are never disappointed! Look forward to the seasonal flavor text messages.“

“Was there after the lunch crowd today 2/1/22. The place was spotless, the restroom was also. Excellent choice of burgers and sandwiches. My wife and I both had burgers and we both agreed they were the best we have had in at least 20 yrs. Grade A meat and the french fries were freshly cut and fried. Can't wait to get back. If you are a movie buff like me you will love the decor. The service was great also.“

“If you're cruising through Uptown Asbury Park you must stop by here. Booskerdoo isn’t just your standard pitstop for caffeine; this is their main roasting mothership, and you can see (and smell when roasting) the serious business the second you walk up to the door.

Let's talk about that liquid gold. I ordered a hot latte with whole milk, finished off with a quick dusting of cinnamon over the foam. One sip and I was hooked, we’re talking a rich, velvety microfoam floating over espresso so balanced it could walk a tightrope. Naturally, because I never meet a light roast I don't like, I got a cup of their Guatemalan El Panal to go. Bright, clean, and really smooth. It’s proof these folks know exactly what they’re doing with a coffee bean. (I hope to get there some day in my micro roaster at home. lol).

Now, I didn't initially plan on grabbing a bite, but the pastry case is a complete trap. While those peanut butter and jelly bars almost lured me in, I ended up pairing my latte with a fresh cranberry scone.

It was a match made in coffee heaven. Flaky, tender, delightfully buttery, and studded with cranberries, it’s the exact kind of pastry that turns a quick coffee run into a full-blown Sit back and relax) lingering experience.

The real showstopper inside, though, is the giant Diedrich roaster sitting right out on the floor alongside literal pallets of green coffee beans. You see Booskerdoo beans popping up at spots all over the Jersey Shore, so seeing the actual industrial engine where the magic happens is really cool. My only minor tragedy of the day? The roaster wasn't firing while I was there. I would’ve loved to hear that machine humming and soak in the full aroma of fresh-roasting beans, but hey, that just gives me an excuse to come back tomorrow.“

“Delicious, clean, fresh food with huge portions for very cheap. The whole restaurant down to the bathroom was super clean and the guy at the counter who took our order was the nicest and most helpful. Would definitely go again. The food was amaaazinnnggg“

“Delicious fresh food.
So much variety! Sushi, poke bowls, burgers, meat pizzas (pulled beef is the best!), salmon platters, vegetarian options, impossible burgers, etc, etc.
Great service too!
The interior can use an update but, otherwise, a great experience in every respect and for every age!
Last but not least, this restaurant is not overpriced like every other kosher option nearby.
Strongly recommend!“

“I tried it for the first time yesterday and the food was great. Had the s’mores donut and cookie ice cream sandwich. Asked Grace at the register questions and she replied with detailed description, was very helpful and friendly. They also provide a punch card for the visits for a reward and offer Monmouth University students a discount. Good cuisine and amazing customer service. Definitely would come again and try more options :)“

“Just ordered for the first time to surprise my wife . She is extremely happy . The nox. Tail tofu platter and jerk Tofu are amazing all the sides were great and the portions are perfect !! Thank you ! We will be back“

“Great coffee and fun healthy snacks
Yes can be a bit pricey but I believe it really lives up to the hype
Ignore the haters in reviews and give this place a shot! Can’t wait for summer season so I can frequent this spot again!“

“I was at the one on mantoloking road on 8/9/2026
About 8pm and I have too say the boy crew working that night was amazing. All young men just working great together. It was a different vibe, a good one I must say. Was great to see all young men working together. They all deserve a shout out!!!!“

“We stopped in tonight for the 1st time. Very clean, great service and Mr. & Mrs. Claus were there!🎅 I love the family affair! We will be back...Oh, and the ice cream was delicious, too!! 🍨“

“Ate at the boardwalk location during Sea Hear Now Festival. Did a pork and a beef taco with some of their cucumber salad. SO good. Tacos were a nice size and the different toppings that came in them were nicely portioned. Staff were friendly and made the recommendation of what to order. Will return.“

“Always a good experience whenever I have the opportunity to stop in for a bite to eat. I can’t get enough of how delicious everything tastes. Thank you!“
