The sand dollar is a Lavallette staple since the 80’s I remember going there with my grandmother. The food is always good, the service great the best thing I can say about Sand dollar is I go there often I get the same 2 or 3 things and they are always exactly how I expect them to be. Delicious.

I have tried many of the local breakfast spots including Meg’s, Sunny Hunny, Jimmys, Patti’s Kitchen, sunset key and Charlie’s. This place is by far the best.
