Restaurants in Belmar

“I'm extremely picky when it comes to pizza. There aren't many places that impress me. This is one that does--definitely one of the best pizzerias in the state, if not *the* best. Small menu, but everything is terrific, especially the salads, the homemade bread, meatballs, and the "plain" pie. They even add fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan to the pizza before serving. Crust is perfection. Eat there. Don't ruin this perfection by putting it in a box. Great vibe, fantastic staff.”

“French toast with granola and bananas was the best !!!!”

“This is delicious Indian food. We sampled many dishes and each was flavorful and carefully prepared. The vegetable fritters were light and crunchy. I especially liked the Mugalai Chicken Korma sauce. We will definitely visit again.”

“Thank you for the stellar customer service today with my order, Playa Bowls 👌🏻”

“Very good vegan food, many selections, friendly servers.”

“Food is delicious as usual”

“Food was really good, staff was really friendly!!”

“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.”

“breakfast, lunch, or dinner... they have the best sandwiches at the most reasonable prices around”

“When you are 1000 of miles away and you still can taste the sandwich, it is good. When you return to visit, you make sure you have cash, and this is the first stop always. And maybe another before you leave.”

“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!”

“Everything at Anthony’s is fantastic, especially the owner. He literally makes each batch of soup fresh! His specialty pizzas are incredible. His donuts are sweet like his mom. It’s always a pleasure to give our business to him.”

“Every beach day deserves a sweet ending.

After an incredible day near the Jersey Shore, my sister and I were looking for one last stop before heading back to North Jersey a place where we could grab something sweet for the ride home. Once again, Google pointed us in the right direction, leading us to Sweet in Belmar.

From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we had found something special.

The bakery sits in a charming little part of town, and inside was everything we didn’t know we were looking for. Between the beautifully decorated cupcakes and the nostalgic candy that instantly took us back to childhood, we couldn’t help but smile as we looked around.

The experience became even sweeter thanks to the owners. We had the pleasure of meeting the mother and daughter team, who were incredibly kind and genuinely excited to share the story behind their family bakery. We even learned they once lived in Delaware before returning to New Jersey to open their dream business. It’s always refreshing to meet people who pour so much love into what they do.

Of course, we couldn’t leave empty handed.

We picked up a Happy Birthday chocolate cupcake, a lemon cupcake, a red velvet cupcake, a princess cupcake, a strawberry crunch cupcake, and a mermaid cupcake.

The red velvet was my personal favorite rich, moist, and perfectly balanced. My sister absolutely loved the lemon cupcake. We also enjoyed the strawberry filled cupcake, and while we both wished it had just a little more cake to match the delicious strawberry filling and frosting, the flavor itself was wonderful.

As two people who grew up loving neighborhood bakeries, we’re always searching for places that remind us why local bakeries are so special. Sweet delivered exactly that. It wasn’t just about the cupcakes it was about the warmth, the conversation, the family atmosphere, and the obvious pride they take in every item they create.

If you find yourself in Belmar and you’re craving a cupcake, nostalgic candy, or simply want to support a wonderful family owned bakery, make this one of your stops.

We’ll absolutely be back. Some sweet treats are worth making the trip for, and Sweet definitely earned a place on our list.”

“Some of the best bagels ever!! Yum!! You won’t be disappointed!!”

“I walked in there at 5:30 AM and ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese with a hash brown on a roll. That was hands down the best roll I’ve ever had. The owner went to the back and put his whole soul into that roll 😭”

“This coffee shop is a hidden gem and worth the visit. I was blown away by how amazing the coconut and banana foster lattes were, and our barista Jessica was super friendly and made our drinks perfectly! Highly recommend checking Coffee Surf Co. out!”

“We have had our Hospice Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon at Mr. Shrimp 2 years in a row now. The private party room is awesome and the food is great! They are wonderful to work with for a special event.”

“What a gem!!! This is where you go to get delicious food. To this point I have only had their pizza but the food I see other patrons eat looks delicious and filling. This is a no frills kind of place that serves delicious food. Seating may be available so be ready to do take out. Either way you should order food because it is delicious!”

“Best dogs in the world and toppings are outstanding! You just can't eat one! Can't get them regularly like I used to they don't have them in Pasco Florida what a shame!”

“First time here. Ordered a pineapple 🍍 margarita. It's good except it doesn't taste like pineapple 😞🍍. Where is the sliced pineapple on the cup and the maraschino 🍒? But for the sake of not being high maintenance, I will end it here. Just asked. They don't have pineapples. lol”

“The Og wit is legit _____”

“We have used it for take out only. It is exceptional chinese food. The flavor is some of the best I have tasted. Though there are a lot of chinese restaurants between our place in Asbury Park and Tripple Green I feel it is worth it to get the best chinese food around.

When you call ahead for an order it is always ready for you when you arrive. The food is packaged well to avoid and spillage and condiments are supplied.

The store is clean and I feel confident that the staff uses the highest standards to keep the food fresh and delicious.”

“Buena la comida”

“Best bagel i’ve ever had. The bagel tasted super fresh and the staff were great. You can tell the egg, bacon, and pork were all made to order and not just reheated. Definitely coming back. 10/10”

“Had a wonderful lunch on outside patio. Sun shining and a nice light breeze.”

Feeling grateful for my wonderful family and this fantastic discovery. ❤️ #FathersDay #GreatFood #FamilyTime #NewFavorite”

“Thank you for the stellar customer service today with my order, Playa Bowls 👌🏻”

“Why do I love Joe’s Bagel & Grill? Let me count the ways. 1. They have a wonderful assortment of bagels. You can count on finding your favorite bagel. 2. The bagels are delicious. Being Jewish, I know great bagels from not so great. I was born with a bagel in my mouth. They are the perfect size. Not too small or big. 3. Their prices are very competitive. 4. I have been a loyal customer for years. As I walk from my car to their front door, they see me coming and my bagel is waiting for me in a bag cut the way I like. 5. The staff could not be more warm and endearing. They make you feel like family. Try them. You won’t be sorry.”

“Homeboy with the gold teeth made us THE BEST sandwiches! He took the time to lightly toast the bread and the care to mayo to the edges. I do prefer this location in town and will probably be back again tonight, and again tomorrow...”
