50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Island Heights

“This place is a Hidden Gem...I can't wait to go back for Sunset Friday night dinner!! My husband is the most critical person when it comes to Restaurants, BUT he LOVES the Food here, 😉😁 See ya soon!!!“

“Started strong with the friendly atmosphere, very cozy and was helped and seated immediately. Our waitress Adriana was a delight and swiftly put in our food! Ordered a breakfast platter and it was tasty and came out fast! Little costly but what isn't in this day and age. Would absolutely recommend and would return! :)“

“Amazingly friendly customer service, great food and coffee with a good selection of gluten free options.“

“The cheesesteaks were delicious, but I wished I noticed the disgusting fan that was above the ordering counter before I ate there. The fan is full of so much thick dust that I felt sick after eating there. Makes you wonder if the kitchen is really clean.“

“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“

“La pizza increíble es lo más rico que he probado excelente servicio y los dinners están súper riquísimos“

“Do they serve any Gluten Free bread? Do they have a GF menu of any kind? Thanks“

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

“Adorable little truck serving the BEST Açaí bowls amongst other delicious healthy treats!! Their employee Olivia was super sweet and was even able to recommend places to see and do in the area!!! A must try on your vacation to the Jersey Shore!!“

“Came here for a quick, Sunday homestyle breakfast and was not disappointed at all. The atmosphere is unique, to say the least, but also gives a lot to start conversations amongst the table. Serving portions were superb and food was very tasty. I have seen other comments and reviews that were very negative and nasty, but everybody can have a bad day once in a while. They were complaining on the service and owner/waiter being rude and yelling. I've seen more positive ratings than negative ones. While not everybody has the same humor, people can definitely be some Debbie downers. All in all, we had a nice experience and enjoyed the food. Ihop who?? Lol will def be back!!!“

“This is one of our frequently visited restaurants. Service at the tables and at the Bar or outside on the patio is always prompt and friendly. Menu is varied enough to suit anyone's taste. Well worth a visit for a good meal. sufficient parking in their lot. They are closed on Mondays.“

“food was was amazing ambience is wonderful, beautifully done for the holidays. the chicken scarpiello is top notch. I would def suggest to all my freinds for great dinner date out with freinds and family“

“Food was delicious, the staff is friendly and service was great! The pho 🍜 was perfect. I highly recommend the cherry blossom shrimp wontons, we also tried the fried dumplings. Very yummy 😋“

“If you have not been here yet run dont walk. Do not sleep on this place. The food is amazing. The coffee flight is to die for. The owners are absolutely awesome. You will not be disappointed. We come here every week!!!“

“First time there. Good food. The menu was amazing, there's so many choices for breakfast and lunch. The prices are appropriate for the menu options.
It was very busy, but the service was good. It was a Sunday, so I guess it is busier on the weekends. The outdoor dining area was busy even though it is November. Our server kept checking on us and apologized about the wait for our food. I will go back on a weekday to try it again.“

“Big Belly Bagels is the go to for a great bagel or breakfast sandwich. Always fresh and hot.“

“Tonight was my second time doing happy hour at JoeBellas. The Fig and Pear martini is straight up divine. The happy hour menu is fun. I had no problem eating Parmesan Truffle Fries for dinner LOL so so yummy. My husband and I brought his cousins last Saturday for a beautiful sit down dinner and as we were being seated we saw our neighbor's from two houses over! Bought them a round of course. Everyone was very happy with their meal. What a fun local restaurant. You'll wait in the summer time of course, totally worth the wait but now that we locals have it back I'll be frequenting more often. I happen to bring a friend tonight who is now a loyal fan. #lovejoebellas“

“chocolate coconut beer is awesome“

“Delicious!! I ordered a combo plate, extra white sauce, no red (I'm not a spicy food kind of gal), and a side of falafel. Everything was hot and fresh, seasoned perfectly, and so flavorful!! I am so happy to have them here local, and I will definitely be a repeat customer.“

“Great seafood“

“Food was very tasty and exactly what you want and expect from a NJ diner. They had quite a few daily off menu specials and I went for a classic diner food. Chipped beef on toast, grits and coffee. All tasted really good.

Parking: Plenty of parking on premises

Kid-friendliness: Yes. Easily and happily welcomed“

“first time my wife and I were there for breakfast today the best bacon egg and cheese I ever had very clean courteous staff we will be back.“

“Some of the best IPAs I have ever had!!“

We will certainly be coming back to visit again soon to enjoy another great beer! CHEERS! Rich and Meg“

“Icarus is a great brewery, fun atmosphere, and excellent hospitality.“

“Very accommodating great food and staff“

“We have never been disappointed with a meal at IL Giardinello's. Always excellent food & excellent service.“

“We went there for dinner for the first time tonight and sat outside. Loved the atmosphere of the evening. The service and food were great. We will be going back soon.“

“Wow this place is the best in the area. Ask about the loyalty card and don’t take no for an answer 🤫 it’s the real deal.“

“Food was amazing! Will definitely be back to try so many things!“

“Grub hub ordered three sandwiches today, along with their side of sweet potatoes and kale/apple salad. Even with delivery, the food was fresh and absolutely wonderful! We will definitely order again.“

“Delicious pizza and food every time! Also great family owned business. Will always support and recommend!“

“The Bomber Sandwich is tremendous. Have known the owners for years. Always great 👍 food 🥘“

“I ordered a custom icecream for a special occasion. Cake was made exactly to my request, everything from the different layers, icecream flavors, & toppings. Everyone enjoyed the cake and asked, where is the icecream cake from? If you have a peanut butter lover in your life, I highly recommend this peanut butter themed icecream cake. Aside from this custom order, we are regular customers. The icecream sundaes are our favorite. You always get good portions (scoops) served. The medium is almost too much for me. That's a good thing. Chocolate Chip Mint, Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream, and topped with M & Ms is my favorite. This review is for the Lanoka Harbor, NJ location.“

“Food is delicious, service is friendly“

“Cute little place. Waitress was lovely. Food was decent. Nothing to really go crazy and rave about. Very very pricey. More expensive than center city steakhouses! Hated the weird dim led lighting. Guitar guy was fun. Wine was good. We would return but wouldn’t rush back. SP has limited options so, God Bless. Don’t blame you for charging top $. Atmosphere was much nicer than Chef Mike ABG. Updated and clean! A plus for that. Thank you for a fun night 🥰 Bring on summer“

“Can I just give a shout out to this neighborhood gem who always delivers high quality, delicious sushi. They are creative, they are consistent, and are one of our top ‘go to’ places when we order in. Thank you Koi for being such a wonderful local business! 🍣🍱❤️“

“We took a long weekend to the Jersey Shore. We stopped in at Meg's Grill for breakfast. Clean, welcoming staff and a great breakfast! What else can you ask? Oh, and pet friendly.“

“Great food and so relaxing there too everyone works there very friendly and owner Maria she great person too“

“Pretty sure we’ll never get pizza anywhere. So amazing to see a restaurant take “gluten free” seriously. Their gluten free pizza came on its own baking sheet to avoid cross contamination in the oven. They also didn’t cut it but instead delivered w w a plastic pizza cutter. Best part was the taste 💕. Kid approved. Thank you so much. Ordering again tonight !“

“Just have to say I finally found the best Chinese food in our area.“

“Super tasty beers, good people, great hang. Love music, good food not far away and easy to find parking. All great stuff!“

“I just stumbled upon you guys at the Point Pleasant Farmer's Market on Sunday, June 22, 2025, and you hand-rolled fresh mozzarella for me, it was piping hot when you first handed it to me - it doesn't get any fresher than that! Plus I got some Burrata and Ricotta. AMAZING! I'll definitely be back to the market to replenish!“

“Great place to eat good food..great service“

“Chinese Gourmet is absolutely the best spot in the area. The service is top notch, incredibly polite and thoughtful staff. Delivery was fast and the driver made sure everything was in order. I recommend this place to anyone who asks me where to eat in Point Pleasant!“

“The other day my friends and I had the pleasure of eating at the Langhorn Steakhouse on Rt 70 in Lakewood. The meals were more than reasonably priced, and they were delicious. The staff was attentive, extremely friendly and courteous. Ty, the host, met us so amiably and showed us to our table. The server, Sharon B., was so attentive we never had to ask her for anything. Anything we needed she was right there to give it to us. We couldn't have asked for more.“
