Restaurants near Long Beach

“Reasonable prices and a well-rounded menu. Food comes out fast, tastes good and they open earlier and close later than most in Long Beach Island. As a SBYC member, it's a treat to have them so close by. Recommended.”

“Great food & friendly, attentive staff.”

“Hail to the King, Baby. Hail to the King! Our family has been regular customers at the Dairy King for 40+ years. There are soft ice cream options (cones and sundaes) as well as hard ice cream. Both are delicious. During the season, they are usually open on afternoons and evenings. In the September/October shoulder season, they tend to be open more for late afternoons and evenings until 9pm. The Dairy King is popular, especially with families with kids and they will draw a crowd in the evening. They have been known to stay open past their published closing time, to make sure that all customers in line are taken care when of, before closing for the night.”

“The chowder was absolutely incredible. 5 stars. Our lunch was great. Not a person in our party walked away unhappy with their choices.”

“Great spot! We come to the area for a few days each year, and this is our go-to lunch stop. Everything we’ve tried has been great and perfect to take with us for a day at the beach. Consistently fresh, quick, and reliable. Highly recommend!”

“Great food & service by Kate💕”

“Great food! Great pricing.! Staff is phenomenal! Always so pleasant ,attentive, and accommodating!! Love to Pardi Hardi w/Nardi's!”

“My wife said she though the California wrap was delicious. She has never said that before about take out food. My chicken tacos and the kids food, pizza and a hamburger was great. I thought it was a bit expensive, but not worried about that if they keep the quality as it was. Everyone ate everything. Fresh and not greasy. Good job.”

“Great dinner with my husband. Lovely server!!”

“Fun atmosphere, great desserts, wide variety. Highly recommended!”

“Love this place, but was very disappointed in the happy hour oysters on 7/9/25….. very small….. other than that, everything else was great”

“Please run, don't walk to Isola! Long Beach Island is no stranger to great spots for Italian cuisine, but Isola is not your typical Italian fare. A BYOB restaurant, Isola has a menu that easily compliments any wine! Our dinner consisted of a fresh and flavorful grilled octopus appetizer, a Cacio and Pepe even Rome would be proud of, one if the best zpirk chops we've evrry ate plated to perfrction, Hanger steak with a lovely chimichurri and a side of roasted potatoes with parmesan cheese. We ended the meal with Tiramisu to go and it was a perfect way to end the night. All that said, Isola's menu is equal to the amazing quality of service and the experience created by their staff. Every patron was smiling. We had originally ordered the Fiorentine steak and sadly it was not available. Dylan and his team went above and beyond to make sure that our dinner was not only fantastic but that we were so thrilled we quickly booked our next visit. Isola has officially entered my top 5 LBI list! Thank you, Isola for a wonderful date night!”

“Living with Celiac Disease, Graves' Disease, and post-Lyme has already made my diet extremely restrictive. This year, despite the added challenges, I made the difficult decision to return to vegetarianism - I simply couldn't reconcile the guilt of eating animal proteins while my health demanded an even more limited way of eating. Cooking at home is manageable, but ordering takeout has been tough: truly gluten-free and vegetarian options are rare. That's why I'm so grateful for Living on the Veg. Their food isn't just safe and accommodating - it's genuinely delicious. As someone who leans toward vegan eating and avoids most factory dairy when I can, I especially appreciate their plant-based options. The vegan potato salad is outstanding - you'd never guess it's dairy-free. And the chocolate peanut butter bites? Absolutely addictive. Thank you, Living on the Veg, for making restrictive eating feel like a treat instead of a compromise, on the days I'm too lazy to cook! P.S. My one wish: more gluten-free bread options, especially bagels and different types of sandwich bread beyond the classic white. That would make your amazing sandwiches even more irresistible!”

“I celebrated my birthday with my sisters at The Gables last night. It is clear that this restaurant knows that a dining experience is more than just about the great food. The ambiance and charm of the restaurant with its meticulous attention to detail translates to understated elegance. Their staff—my experience felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant and they had nothing else to do but take care of us! Our server, Cathy, was so warm and unshakable on a rather busy evening. The room managers strolled throughout the room making sure that every person was seen and noticed. It’s the nicest place I’ve ever dined. Thank you for a truly lovely evening!”

“Our go to place when we go to the island.”

“Have a bunch of unique flavors as we have a rotating flavor list as well! We strive to have as big of a tasty selection as we can! Come over and try our ice cream as we are the GOATS 🐐 🍦‼️”

“Casual atmosphere, amazing dinner. Staff friendly and engaged with customers. Owner greeted every customer and made sure they were happy.”

“I was there on Thursday the food was great! Only problem was I wasn't aware of the gratuity that was put on for six or more people. So we ended up spending much more money than we excepted”

“I recommend EVERYTHING about the LBI Pancake House! The food - perfect. The atmosphere - stylish, retro chic. The people - awesome. And don’t even get me started on the Belgian Waffles…. I’m still dreaming about those slightly crispy outside, puffy fluffy insides served with warm butter and their signature maple syrup. Breakfast Heaven served oceanside on Earth.”

“We always have a great experience at Wally’s. The staff is wonderful and the food is fresh and tasty.”

“5 stars delicious! I received a nift giftcard from planet fitness definitely recommend. Definitely will be back.”

“Finally got to eat here! it was delicious, fresh and large portions. The one owner Carlos is very nice and friendly! Will definitely be back!!!”

“We have been going to Black Eyed Susan's since their prior location across the street when it was BYOB and I can't believe it's actually gotten better in terms of menu and the cocktail menu is amazing too. With the addition of Marigold this summer they've reached the next level. We hope to rent it out next year for a private event. Could not recommend it enough if you're on Long Beach Island (or even if you have to drive the bridge)”

“The best coffee shop in the LBI area that roasts its own blends in store and has great pastries and speciality cold brew that rival the bigger chains. Their s’mores Cold brew is delicious and the Owner has done great outreach into the community by starting a run club. Check them out!”

“Pompano Beach HYB was our go to every morning on vacation. Smiling staff knew our name and our order every day. Yummy coffee, too! Highly recommend.”
