First time visiting. Love the old school feel of the place. Food was INCREDIBLE. Don't sleep on the breakfast nachos. Fries were some of the best I've had. Looking forward to coming back

This morning my husband and I went to Dockside Diner for breakfast. They were busy and full. We sat down at counter and they only had one waitress, one busser/runner and chef. Despite being shorthanded and extremely busy, the staff, service and food that day were incredible. The 3 staff members handled a difficult situation with class, efficiency, hard work, and a warm friendly smile. Kuddos to that staff!!

Visited in March on a Friday for brunch. No waiting. Great diner coffee. Omelettes came out quick and were delicious. Gets properly crowded in summer but worth the wait.

This is a cool little diner with a chill vibe. The people working were real friendly and kept the table clear. We got 2 cups of Lobster Bisque. While not as good as the Lobster House in Cape May it was way better than Mikes in Sea Isle Only $5.99 a cup. I got a BLT. Just a classic sammie and was really good. The wife got the Long Beach Wrap and it was thick and she said it was very good. $48 w/tip. Im coming back here when I want soup and a sammie. Oh yeah...fries were real good.

Food wasn't great, but the service was excellent and the atmosphere was nice. Went for breakfast, maybe go again. Wasn't the worst thing I had, but they might have just had an off day.

Hungry for breakfast in the winter on long beach island. You will drive along time to find anything open. You made a good decision if you drove until you found the Dockside Diner. The decor is the shore. The servers were great. The food was the best breakfast we could find on the island. That said the I would return again and again. Finding a friendly face in the winter at the shore was worth the extra mile to get here.

Great food, friendly and attentive staff, Dockside never disappoints! Love that they are open all year round and have a great selection on the menu (but not the overwhelming 17 pages of menus of some NJ diners!) I had one of the best grilled chicken sandwiches there today, yum! Support this local staple, you will not regret it!
Delicious brunch and very friendly staff! The quality of the food seemed to be higher than some other restaurants in the area. Highly recommend!

This place has for sure turned into one of the better bites on the island. Great burgers and the cinnamon roll French toast is insane!

We visited last Friday and returned today. The food was truly outstanding. My wife adores the chicken salad sandwich, and I tried the burger the first time. However, today I opted for the penne alla vodka with meatballs, and it was absolutely incredible. Hands down, one of the best vodka sauces I've ever tasted.
Surprisingly good. Don't let the looks fool
