50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Holmdel

“We highly recommend Patricia's of Holmdel. We have frequented this establishment with our immediate family of 12 for birthdays, celebrations, and more! The environment is warm and inviting through its modern decor, enjoyable music, lighting, and seating. Tables are covered with white clothes and seating is comfortable whether inside or out. The location is well maintained and clean. The pricing is average for fine dining. The entire staff is exceptional. We enjoy all pleasantries with the staff members. It is evident that care is placed in choosing the staff. Each is professional, personable, and thorough. They make us feel like VIP every time we go, especially when John N. is our server. John N. is extremely knowledgeable of the inner workings of this establishment. We have severe food allergies and dietary restrictions. John N. illustrates such compassion towards us. He is diligent in keeping us safe, and keeps open communication with the chef when we are present. He is so kind and fun, too, in such a way that he feels like a family member. While eating at Patricia's it feels as if we are transported to a family dinner in Italy. Between the welcoming ambience, pleasant staff, and delicious food, we (without hesitation) highly recommend Patricia's of Holmdel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Not every Overeasy has the same thing or makes it the same way, case in point, Marlboro

Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome there

Wheelchair accessibility: Both Holmdel and Marlboro are wheelchair accessible“

“I went to the nursery in the afternoon accidentally left my wallet on a cart, I wanted to thank the lovely patron that saw it and brought it in to the store. Is comforting to know there are good souls out there. ❤️🙏✝️ Also, Thank you to the Dearborn employees..❤️“

“might just be the best friend chicken place in nj. Has a huge diverse menu and chicken unlike most place was actually not drenched in oil and was really crispy. I've tried daves, colbies, asads, canes, namkeen, and hangry joes and would place this on top!“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“They catered a back yard bbq I was at and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Well!!!! Can’t say enough GOOD things about the skillet by Sal!! I am aching to try something different because I am just loving the fratta! Brought back memories of my mom!!! Service is ?? great. I have passed the good word and just had to share!!! Btw Leslie is an exceptional waitress!!! Can’t wait to go back. I also had a iced latte today. YUM“

“First time here and the place was packed! Nice atmosphere and most importantly the food was delicious. Recommend the ramen!“

“My boyfriend and I go there at least once a month , each time we go we are treated like kings and queens !! The staff is excellent well respected and high honored in professionalism!! The food is always excellent and colorful !!! We both are in this field working with adults with special needs , we are honored every time we go there !!! Some restaurants need to take lessons from this place !! If there was ten stars or more that is what i would give them !!“

“I was here when they first opened. it was not really "for me". Recently tried it again and loved it. I am vegetarian and my friend is vegan. we found options. Really enjoyed the eggplant sandwich. Would love more options (saw on one of the burger challenges a portobello on a burger, so loose the beef and just do the portobello) then I would definitely be there more often. Plan to check out the events that they have in the winter. So nice to have a quality and nice place locally to go out to at night.“

“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.“

“We ordered for delivery through DoorDash and I do not like to post bad reviews about anyone. It could have been an off day and it happens. We ordered the cinnamon pancakes, BLT on wheat and the eggs Benedict. I love eggs Benedict, the potatoes were good. It needed a little more hollandaise but the sad thing about my platter was it had half an egg shell. Just please make it better or be very careful. Thank you“

“This restaurant has amazing food and the waiters are very kind“

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

“THE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH (FOOD OVERALL) IS AMAZING!!! WOW, THE BEST I'VE HAD IN CENTRAL JERSEY. EVERYTHING IS COOKED TO PERFECTION. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HAVING THEIR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND THIS PLACE HAS WON ME OVER. IM VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO A GOOD BREAKFAST, THIS PLACE HAS FULFILLED MY NEEDS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL REVISIT TIME-TO-TIME. SO GLAD I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE I LIKE. 🙌“

“I recently ate at Cumin N Eat, and honestly, the food completely lived up to the hype.

From the moment the dishes came out, you could tell everything was made fresh and with real attention to flavor. The spices were perfectly balanced—not too overpowering, but still packed with that rich, authentic taste that makes you want to keep eating even when you’re full. Every bite had depth, and you can tell they don’t cut corners when it comes to ingredients.

But the highlight for me had to be the wings. They were absolutely amazing—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in a sauce that had the perfect mix of flavor and heat. Not too spicy, not too mild—just right. They were easily some of the best wings I’ve had, and I’d go back just for those alone.

Overall, Cumin N Eat is definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re in New Jersey. Great flavor, great quality, and food that actually leaves an impression.“

“best ice cream in Freehold. Been coming here for 60 years“

“Took the dog to the animal hospital nearby and stopped in for a cappuccino. I was impressed with the operation, and the different type of coffees and preparations. Definitely a great place for coffee.“

“Been going here for years. Delicious food. A Hazlet institution!!“

“We had a catered affair from Prima Pizza at our VFW Post. Food was delicious. The fettuccine carbonara was so tasty. Eggplant rollatini was cooked to perfection. Definitely 5 Stars.“

“Had to make a visit at Taco Stop Llc in Rt 35 and I was really hungry. Ufffffff - Pork chops I haven’t had in a while and can you believe D Cesiah Jimenez Burgos, owner made ‘tostones’ and of course the chips with guacamole 🥑. Sent my wife in Florida the pictures. Sorry babe. It was AMAZING! TACO STOP, THE PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU’RE ON THE GO! Recommended 100%+ You won’t regret it!“

“I had my husband's surprise 40th birthday here and it was amazing! Emily was an absolute pleasure to work with and very friendly. The staff was great making sure everyone had drinks all night they were extremely attentive. The food was so good!! Everything was delicious and presented beautifully I can't say enough about this place, it was a great night and everyone made us feel welcome me and my guests had a great time!“

“Exceptional service! Bobby reopened his restaurant upon my son and I arriving there after a late basketball practice. Instead of turning us away, he made us a personal pizza. The food was outstanding and moreover his kindness will make us future loyal customers.“

“Simply put, Great . All around Great. Great owners, great food, great prices, Great .. Honestly. IYKYK. Thank you for being there“

“Mil gracias por sus comentarios y claro trataremos de mejorar en algunos errores Nos sentimos contentos de poder servirles un buen platillo“

“It's a solid place for this area if you want soup dumplings but not the 30+ drive up to the Edison area. Their soup dumplings and fried pork buns have a strong pork flavor. Scallion pancakes have a good scallion taste. I personally, could have used a bit more salt but dipping it in the sauce that came with it fixed that. Very good pork gyoza! I'll be back to try the ramen. Good music and great service. Very nice people who work there. I went there around 2 pm on a Monday. Plenty of paid street parking at the time. They have a nice selection of boba teas.“

“Food is Amazing . Always bursting with flavors! I door dash from my work frequently and never disappointed only impressed“

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

“AWESOME, SERVICE GREAT! PRICES RIGHT ON!“

“Such a cute place, such a throwback, with excellent friendly service and great food! My burger and chili dog completely hit the spot and washing it down with their trademark rootbeer was such a treat! Can’t wait to come back!“

“I’ve been a customer since they opened, and I still get excited when I sit down to a Love Bowl (tempeh and spicy peanut). The owners are dedicated, hardworking, and their food is delicious and satisfying. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-15“

“My granddaughter had her graduation dinner here. It was absolutely fabulous. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic service & the food was amazing. Can’t say enough how great this restaurant is. I would highly recommend this restaurant to family & friends.“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“Awesome place! Best dive in NJ“

“Just because it’s shaped like a bagel doesn’t make it a bagel. I am there every Wednesday morning where I buy 8 bagels. From the glass you can see the giant vat in the back where they ACTUALLY boil their bagels which is the correct way to make a bagel and not just round dough in the shape of a bagel. These bagels are the best bagels I’ve ever had in New Jersey since moving from New York. The woman behind the counter is always so nice. Their bagels for the quality are well priced. I have plenty of bagel spots around where I live but I drive a few extra miles to this place.“

“Was there today for the our first time and WOW. I had the lamb Gyro and my wife had the loaded Feta Fries. Both were so delicious. Very nice casual place to sit down and enjoy a Great Meal. I highly suggest the restaurant.“

“Food very good, best grandma pizza“

“amazing beer and farmhouse brewery with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces“

“Their homemade soft serve is amazing. I love the pumpkin and banana flavors!“

“I have been there a few times. the brisket is good. the brisket is good.“

“From a Full service manager in your fine establishment let me tell you, Ernesto has that ..Je ne se quoi.. super polite and attentive, I don’t mean that in a light way, seriously his and the team dynamic trying to seat the PM rush, it was 100% great to see the smiles through the busy service, please come and try the food, fresh, clean, great attention to detail. 5 stars… more like 10! Thank you for all KURA Sushi does!“

“Great local sub shop where you get a nice hearty sandwich for the money (CASH ONLY). Their portions put's the likes of Jersey Mike's to shame. Staff doesn't seem happy and not the friendliest, but hey, you can't have it all.“

“A passionate owner is the first step to a successful business and you have that here. Great pork roll and coffee is a plus. Highly recommend this place.“

“This is the only place I feel safe ordering in from as someone with food allergies. I have a dairy and gluten allergy and they are so accommodating with the dishes. You get big portions for a good price and the food is always so fresh. I also have a super stomach with some problems so I always feel icky eating out and since the food is cooked in high quality oil I never feel icky after eating here which is SO rare for me. The owner is incredibly kind and told me how she also has food allergies and is happy to make modifications and help. It’s so rare that restaurants welcome modifications and she always does so for me. I’ve never gotten sick here and it’s the one restaurant I feel comfortable ordering in from and look forward to doing so every week. The entire staff is helpful and are always kind and respectful even when the phone is ringing like crazy and there’s a line for pick up. They never rush you and always make you feel welcome. A local gem- thank you to the incredibly owner for giving us allergy people a safe place with delicious food and for accommodating me with a smile. I appreciate you so much. Please support this local small business“

“Wish I knew his name, he is always there! But the young guy that I believe is the manager of the Freehold store is so nice and friendly! The food is always delicious and his store is always clean! We always have a great experiences in this location 😊we love taco 🌮 Tuesday!“

“Another amazing dinner at Elli’s! The staff is so friendly, the food amazing and the atmosphere is so cozy. Will be back again!“
