50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Glen Ridge

“Melanie did an AMAZING job on my sister's Game of Thrones themed couple shower. I had some ideas but she really took what I said and made my ideas into something more. Not only did everything look great, the desserts tasted wonderful too. I highly recommend her and Jamm Events and will use her again.“

“We visited this spot specifically for the pastrami, and it did not disappoint. It has a milder flavor compared to Katz's, which I actually prefer since it allowed me to finish the whole sandwich in one go. Katz's meat is so intensely flavorful that I usually need to take a break and cleanse my palate before I can finish later. This place is a fantastic alternative if you're in Jersey. The prices are reasonable, and the 8 oz option is perfect for satisfying your craving without breaking the bank. The Knish and macaroni salad were delicious as well. They give you delicious pickles. We’ll definitely be returning often. Update January 2026. Stopped by for some pastrami sandwiches. They are still delicious and worth every penny. Hot dog special this week, $2.00. They were flavorful with an awesome snap.“

“my bestie and I like to search for new places to eat. THIS place is now on our fav list! the food is astounding, the fresh carrot juice i had was delicious. The owner is warm and a delight! may he flourish here because this is going to be a repeat spot for us!“

“I live in South Jersey went to Jersey City with my wife and daughter. Saw posting about Carmine’s had to give it a try. The food was outstanding 3 sandwiches and the eggplant rollotnie. The flavor , sauce chicken cutlets , Prosciutto was the best. It’s a 2 hour drive but worth it!!!“

“Kawana and Natorie provided outstanding service and was very welcoming when entering the restaurant. Kawana made sure that my food was fresh. I would come here again.“

“Anáis is a great server I recommend her she is the best“

“wow, amazing!! very unique flavors, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. i had the cassava latte and the leche flan latte. highly recommend! wish i lived in the area so i could come here again!“

“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by“

“the food are delicious and the waitress is great !“

“Awesome place. Highly recommend!“

“Looking for the best coffee spot in Bayonne? Look no further than Lavaccino! More than just a coffee shop, Lavaccino serves up perfectly brewed espresso, delicious sandwiches, refreshing juices, and creamy gelato 🍨 handmade to perfection. And don’t miss out on their exclusive, one-and-a-half-pound bar of Dubi chocolate—crafted in-house, it’s the best you’ll find in the tri-state area! Lavaccino’s cozy atmosphere and top-notch menu will keep you coming back for more. It’s a taste of Italy with a Dubai twist, right in your neighborhood😉“

“We had short rib pho- the best I’ve ever had. This pho has claimed to number 1.
Wings- crispy, well cooked and seasoned.
Potstickers AMAZING!!
Vermicelli noodle bowl- 4.5 fresh ingredients and flavorful
Brisket pho added some meatballs- savory

Nice people, quick service, pricing is fair.“

“I had the pleasure to eat at Konoz. It is a clean and neat restaurant. The owner is friendly and pleasant. I asked him what he recommended and I placed the order to eat inside. The meat was tender and tasty, the salad was a good portion and trifongo was delicious. I chatted briefly with the owner. It’s a place I would go again when in the area.“

“Excellent dogs, we like big ones deep fried. 👍 Delicious fries, onion rings, Lilly kraut - the best!! Great staff too. Highly recommend.“

“We ordered delivery to Union. Our order arrived about 30 min early and was fresh, hot and delicious!! I highly recommend this location and will become a regular customer.“

“Went to jersey with some friends to ski and snowboard and let me tell you this bakery made the whole trip 10 times better the food was amazing she gave me and my whole group chia I think its spelled and I was awoken to how good it was and I will definitely be going back everytime im in New Jersey“

“They have the best social hour!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“Really cute spot and they are so nice. We ordered macarons (chocolate and raspberry) which were perfect and so delicious. We also got an almond and a Nutella croissant. I got their special strawberry matcha which came with strawberry/matcha cold foam which was light and refreshing. My bf ordered a dark mocha latte which he said was really good. We sat outside since the sun was finally out and warm and they brought everything beautifully plated.
The only thing is that parking can be a bit difficult since a lot of the street parking is taken out.“

“Felix is the man and the smoothie and smoothie bowls are always a delicious and healthy bang for your buck, but having had the Spicy Squash and Chicken Noodle Soup, I can safely say this is my favorite spot to grab something tasty and healthy and worth the money, the soup is sooooooo good. I walked it while he was prepping another batch of the squash soup. And it smelled soooooooo oooo o good. The picture of my soup doesn’t do it justice as I’ve eaten the chicken out of it and now I’m sipping on the broth which has the slightest kick to it. I’m obsessed. I encourage everyone to support this place and get something delicious while you are at it!!!!!!“

“Great beer! Greater staff! Always friendly. Clean fun atmosphere They have great outdoor space for when the weather is nice. Bolero is also a great spot to host a party! We have thrown 2 surprise birthday parties there one inside and one outside. Can’t recommend Bolero enough. It has turned into our regular hang out spot.“

“Love the food, love the place, very attentive, don't walk run here, great!“

“Our meal was DELICIOUS! Scallop appetizer followed by entrees of halibut, bronzino and orata. Wonderful service made for a beautiful evening“

“The food was easily the best Arab food I’ve had. Ever. The owners were super nice and actually invited us to sit instead of take out, and we got complimentary toum (also best toum I’ve ever had), peppers, pickles, and some sort of Arab bread. The bread was nice and crackly and there was a LOT of it. The toum, unlike other Arab places with toum, was actually light and had that whipped texture that is desired. The garlic flavor was on point and not too overpowering. The star of the show was easily the crispy chicken shawarma, though. It looks small in some videos, but it was wider than my mouth. I had to do some talking to find out myself, but to get the fries, toum, and pickles next to the shawarma, you need to ask for the crispy chicken shawarma combo. It was super crispy, and the breading was very nicely toasted. I kept finding myself layering the top with some pickles, fries, and more toum. They also drizzled some pomegranate molasses on the chicken shawarma, which gave it a tangy but also fruity aftertaste. We also ordered the charcoal chicken and kebab. The kebab, instead of normal beef on a stick, actually came with some yellow rice and some REALLY GOOD spicy seasoned bread that was very soft and moist on some parts and crispy on the others. You could literally see the spice particles on it. The charcoal chicken was juicy, tender, and had that charcoal roasted flavoring. It even came with a bunch of complimentary fries. The fries on both the shawarma and the charcoal chicken was nicely battered, and the shawarma fries were very well seasoned. The only thing is that the bathroom is through a door that leads upstairs, and you have to open two doors. If you’re someone like me and don’t like the feeling of putting grip on things with sticky stuff on your hands, you won’t like that. It’s one of those turn knobs. Finally, the music made me feel like I was actually back in Abu Dhabi watching fire shows while eating falafel. Please visit, they are amazing people who make amazing food!“

“My husband and I are total foodies and love supporting small businesses, and this place was recommended to us by a friend. We were in the mood for something that felt like a dinner date without heading too far from home, and Adour totally hit the mark. Let me tell you, for the affordable prices, the quality of the food blew us away. The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for cozy, elevated, and with great vibes all around. We kept it classic with a rosé and a Hugo Spritz (both so refreshing), for starters we got the mussels in tomato sauce, and for dinner we ordered the lamb chops and the Adour burger with truffle fries - absolutely to die for. We ended the night with their apple crumble dessert, and it was the perfect finish. 😍 Bonus: they serve brunch, too! No need to trek to JC or Hoboken for that cute, trendy, affordable brunch spot, it’s right here in the neighborhood. Tell George I sent you! 😏“

“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.“

“The atmosphere is chill and I really like the Airplane vibe. The Airline seats really give it a nice touch. Coffee was great! Also love that old style Airline ticker on the wall. Will be back.“

“Everything is good, it's just a little hot/humid but I don't really think that's their fault.“

“Just had the Monday thru Friday lunch special and added feta to my salad. With a soda it was just under $20. Absolutely delicious.“

“I absolutely love this place. Food is always fresh and delicious. I got the pesto chicken salad today, absolutely amazing. And the service is awesome. Always kind. Always helpful. Shoutout to the young lady working today. I wish I got her name but she was so sweet and helpful and gave me great recommendations. Great job vitality👍🏻“

“We pulled off the highway for a coffee and stumbled upon this gem. The pastry menu is filled with unique items and great flavor combinations. I had the ube pan de sal and the Kashmir cardamom latte with oat milk. I absolutely love both! The location seemed surprising at first, it’s located in a larger office complex, but inside it feels comfortable with warm lighting and plenty of seating. They also sell records and prepared wraps and desserts. Check it out if you’re in the area! I will be sure to stop by next time I’m passing through.“

“Sweet Jean’s has great coffee, great gluten-free wrap options (make sure to specify you want the gluten free option), and a great team! I have also catered from Sweet Jean’s and they do a great job recommending options and accommodating dietary restrictions. I’m so happy to have them in the community“

“Really fantastic local cafe. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the design and making it welcoming to casual visitors as well as people searching for a refuge to get some work done. I also like that it's a pure coffee shop. Some baked goods but a pure experience that focuses on atmosphere and quality.“

“Clean, cute lil pizza joint w/ nice staff, huge garlic knots that were obvi freshly made and perfect, crispy pie. They offered Mike's hot honey for my pepperoni slice, it's a winner. The counter lady was funny and helpful. I'd never been there so she answered my silly questions well.
Oh yeah.. don't skip the Chocolate chip cookies! I wish I got 2 more 🤦‍♀️“

“My family and I went to Fornos yesterday after my daughter’s graduation from MSU. We didn’t make a reservation, but lucked out getting a table because two minutes after we sat down the line was forming. All I have to say is the service was impeccable!!! The food was amazing!!! The ambiance absolute perfection!! I highly recommend!!“

“Very fun social vibe, special Birthday ritual, food was excellent, I practically licked my plate, service was attentive and the manager very active.“

“Exceptional high quality unique dishes. I loved every bite and can’t wait to go back! Definitely one of my top picks for Jersey City⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had dinner at Ruby Tuesday in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and were lucky enough to have Bella as our waitress. She told us right away that she was new and still in training, so my sister and I joked that we'd be extra nice to her—but honestly, she didn't need any extra help!

Bella was incredibly sweet, friendly, and attentive throughout our entire meal. She took our drink order promptly, answered all of our questions about the menu with confidence, and kept a close eye on our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Her warm personality and genuine care made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

We live in Maryland and Florida, so unfortunately we probably won't have the opportunity to dine here again. But we wanted to make sure Ruby Tuesday knows what an amazing asset Bella is to your restaurant. She has a wonderful attitude, excellent customer service skills, and a bright future ahead of her. Thank you, Bella, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“Was going thru Grubhub for wings and came across this place. I said how bad can it be. Wow I was surprised and disappointed. Disappointed that they didn’t have popcorn chicken but substituted for wings. They were amazing .not greasy at all. Very impressed. Will definitely go again. Tried the potato dog as well … very interesting, very good…“

“Went this evening to try this new place as I was graving some shawarma. Had a beef shawarma that came with olives and pickles. Flavor was very authentic Middle Eastern in both the shawarma and pickles. I also had their fattoush which was very good. 2 people can easily be served from both the shawarma and fattoush! Overall, good food, nice place. Will be back.“

“They have amazingly tasty food 😉 food 🥘 and specially love their buffet“

“Excellent food and the exceptional service given by the waitresses Lucy with her friendliness and attention to all customers“

“Not sure why I haven’t glorified this place yet because I literally come every week. I’m here to tell you to go there once and see for yourself how utterly delicious everything is. Service is amazing SHOUTOUT TO JOON who is our ROCKKKK over there. He always does a great job.

You will most likely have to wait for a table but it’s worth it..

Make sure to get the sushi with MIXED RICE it is a game changerrr. Everything is fresh and delish. You do get what you’re paying for. The yakisoba is a honorable mention. We always get the kani salad, avocado fries, and the koshi tacos so good. For sushi we get the “for two” special and order either the Watchung roll, JJ roll, or the Jersey roll all with mixed rice.. honestly been coming here for over 2 years consistently and never had a bad experience..

Love you guyssss ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Great place to read and work! Also, the staff was GREAT!“
