50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Jersey City

“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!!!“

“Very impressed with the overall experience. Friendly staff, clean environment, and great attention to detail. Everything was handled professionally and efficiently. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality service. Looking forward to visiting again!“

“Mame and Erika were amazing—top-notch customer service! The ginger shots were great, and the berry smoothie was absolutely incredible, made with really high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend this spot to everyone. You’re going to love the atmosphere and the service. Thank you guys, and I’ll definitely be back soon!”“

“Excellent food, warm, inviting decor, friendly staff.“

“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.“

“Travels great for any tailgate!! 10/10“

“Staff is very attentive and courteous. Food is delicious and freshly cooked. Bathroom is very clean. Nice clientele. Love going there !“

“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!“

“We came on a Sunday morning and there wasn't a line. The bakery is a little stand on Palisade Ave. We ordered the bombolonis and the mozarella/prosciutto sandwich.

The bombolonis were some of the best I've ever had (even compared to the ones in Italy) - they were fresh and the vanilla pastry cream wasn't too sweet but still felt indulgent. The donut was so airy and soft. The sandwich wasn't anything to brag about, it was underwhelming unfortunately. The mozzarella was very mild but the flatbread was good; the sandwich was definitely overpriced for what it was. Wish we tried other things on the menu but was in a pinch. I will definitely be back to try the focaccia and pizza options.

Also note that there is hardly any street parking options so be sure to plan ahead! They also have various Italian products for sale such as jarred sauces and dried pasta.“

“The food is delicious and Mihai is the best waiter!“

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

Every drink I’ve tried has been healthy, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. Whether you're into fitness or just looking for something tasty and nutritious, this is the place to be!

“good food . great service . Art is amazing. found out new spot. brought me back to Mandaue city .across Central school . lol“

“Delicious gluten-free IPA! You guys have raised the bar for the gluten free beer peeps!! 🍺🍺“

“Flew from LA to New Jersey and this was the first food place we had. It is sooo good we came back the next day after 😂 shout out to Ashley, shout out Vanessa, Shout out to Jose. Shout out Gerald. They’re incredible people and treated our team like family. The place is clean. They have free dog treats. They have little activities at the tables. They have good music. They have books and accessories. And the food is a little too good!!10/10 recommend 🙏🏾“

“Amazing coffee and delicious vegan treats!“

“Good atmosphere and great service.“

“Probably the coolest vibes outside of the West Village—and it’s right in the heart of JC. Frankie’s is an effortlessly stylish Australian spot that feels like a hidden gem but delivers like a destination. Whether you’re trying to impress out-of-towners or a date, this place hits the mark.

Drinks? Solid across the board. The Lovely Creature—served in a whimsical frog mug—is a spicy mezcal punch that feels tailor-made for a boat cruise or summer rooftop hang. But the standout is Let’s Stay Together—an unbelievable old fashioned that balances depth, smoothness, and just the right twist to make you rethink what an old fashioned can be.

Food-wise, don’t skip the kimchi fried chicken. It’s crispy, punchy, and totally worthy of main dish status. Sit at the bar if you can—it’s the best seat in the house to soak in the atmosphere, the music, and the laid-back but elevated energy.

Frankie’s isn’t just good—it’s one of the best spots in Jersey City, full stop.“

“Love Me Casa food. Been eating their food since the start and they never disappoint. Everything has so much flavor. My favs of course are the alcapurias and the empanadas... but EVERYTHING is delicious.“

“How do I love Crema, let me count the ways … Nutella Toast, Avo Toast, Mozz Toast, Beef Empanadas, Waffles and amazing brews ☕️“

“this place is a must go to. the food is amazing as well as the service and drinks. Definitely on my top 10“

“This place gets 5 stars across the board for the vibes, service, and the food. I had the Peanut Butter Latte with an extra shot of espresso and oat milk. Even with the extra shot it was very balanced and smooth. Then I tried their signature breakfast sandwich called “The Lafayette” and it comes with hot honey on the side. It was FIREEE definitely recommend it to anyone who can eat it.

I know they serve other things like ramen and more food besides breakfast, so I will definitely be back if I am in the area. The owner Pat was great to talk to online and the staff in the shop were very kind as well. The spot also has a lot of space and is tucked into a cool nook of Jersey City.

Show this place the love it deserves PLEASE!

“My girlfriends purse got robbed. Dangerous place. Don't go there. Band was awesome though“

“they claim that their burrito is one of the best in NJ and I totally agree. I tried them all - pork, chicken, mushroom. it’s so good, I always come back for more. also it’s huge and honestly might be enough for two people.
chicken caesar wrap is my second favorite thing to get here! oh and of course mac’n’cheese 🤤
however the wings are not our favorite, we tried them all“

“I took a simple yet very enjoyable break at Dream Vista today.
The tuna casual sandwich was light and filling, and the freshness of the ingredients was truly noticeable.
The tiramisu I had afterwards, with its balanced sweetness, became the nicest surprise of the day.
The latte was perfectly made as well.
It was a calm, pleasant experience that made me want to come back again.“

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨“

“Great brewery tap room. All their beers ready to drink. If I have one criticism is that they don’t have options for the ladies if they don’t drink beer.“

“Freshest and healthiest food you can get without making the trip to the farm. Options for all taste buds. The staff is also helpful and friendly. You should eat and shop here. 🐝“

“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!“

“This place has the best tacos I’ve ever had…🇲🇽“

“Someone recommend this place to me for breakfast sandwiches, otherwise I probably never would’ve known to go here. Well, he was right. Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a poppy seeded roll- simple yet delicious, with very fair pricing. I didn’t realize they were cash only and unfortunately was short $3, but they let me pay the rest later. So nice!“

“Small cozy dessert place. They do have savory options as well.

Portion sizes are pretty decent and you don’t have to wait long for your food to be ready (atleast the desserts)

Ingredients were fresh and the food tastes pretty good. All crepes come with ice cream on the side. I got the Devils Crunch and it was tasty. Definitely a good go to dessert spot in the area.

This is a small place with limited seating. Street parking only. They also don’t accept credit cards for now. Zelle, Venmo, Cash App are the available payment options“

“Solid coffee and breakfast sandwiches, excellent service and a nice interior. They not only ask about me, they always ask about my dog Georgia, as well.“

“Great times all the time.“

“Performing at Maritime Parc was an absolute highlight for us! The venue offers a sleek, modern aesthetic with stunning panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and harbor—an unforgettable backdrop for any celebration. The layout is perfect for live music, with plenty of space for dancing and an energetic crowd. The team at Maritime Parc was fantastic to work with, making sure everything ran smoothly so we could keep the party going strong all night long.“

“Brightside Tavern is the modern day Cheers. If you want to have an experience that you'll never forget, then come down to Brightside tavern 141 Bright Street in Jersey City New Jersey. Tell them Curtiss sent you. Family, and kid friendly too. 🫡🌹“

“Been coming here a lot ever since I found out there's a bar in the lobby. Love this place- great food, drinks, atmosphere, and friendly staff. Petey has the best recommendations, drinks, and is a super cool person. One of the best service I've ever gotten! Thank you Petey!“

“Great brunch before heading back to South Jersey. I had the breakfast burrito and truffle fries with the watermelon mint juice. It was just enough to feel satisfied and was full of flavor.“

“Usually I get a perfect matcha latte here. Definetly go!But the baristo this day told me he was not able to make drinks when I got there at 3:45 pm and said there were closing at 4pm .... It literally takes 2 min to make but ok. They usually close a 5 pm“

“great food and vibe. BUT they are cheap with condiments. charges 2 bucks for extra syrup for the chicken and waffles“

“The staff were very friendly, attentive, and efficient. The food was DELICIOUS and portions were generous! I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area!!!“

“Got to know this small corner spot because of my teens, very nice place the owner and the Ecuadorean girl that handles the food are great very attentive and hospitable they make you feel right at home. The food if you like halal the breakfast and pastries ? are soft and delicious the seating is alittle tight but if you don’t mind it then you’ll enjoy the atmosphere I recommend for anyone in jersey city near Hudson community college and Saint Peter’s university. Definitely recommend?“

“Taco Drive was excellent! The birria tacos were fresh, flavorful, and some of the best I’ve had. The meat was tender, and every bite was packed with flavor. The chips and guacamole were also delicious and tasted very fresh. Great food, friendly service, and a place I would definitely recommend to anyone craving authentic Mexican food. Definitely I will be coming back!!“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“
