Restaurants near Ocean Gate

“Our first time enjoying local homemade donuts in the Garden State. Also tried the stuffed crumb cake. This spot hit it right out of the park. We save our sweets calories, particularly donuts and ice cream, for places that make their own … and they were well worth the 4-state trip to experience. We also loved the stuffed crumb cake … we understand it’s a NJ specialty, and this was VERY special!”

“We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at The Loft today. The food was excellent and the service was spectacular! I completely lost my voice and could not speak over the past few days. The Hostess and the Manager noticed this and they were very accommodating. The manager gave us a table in a nice isolated area all to ourselves so i wouldn’t have to strain my voice. Our server Jules was excellent! 10/10. She did an outstanding job from start to finish! Shout out to the gentleman who assisted Jules in serving and who wished happy anniversary to us (sorry i didn’t catch your name). The food was delicious. My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner and it was all thanks to this wonderful crew. Thank you all!”

“Jennifer was fantastic! She is very friendly and knowledgeable about the restaurant. She went over all the new menu items. I ordered a special drink and she went out of her way to see if the bar had the ingredients to make it. She paid a lot of attention to us as appropriate. We appreciated her thoughtfulness and great service. PF Chang has fabulous food we loved everything.”

“Yet another reason why 502 Bakery is my bakery of choice. Woke-up Saturday morning (4/12/2025) craving crumb coffee cake. Arrived at 502 Bakery a few minutes before 9AM, but when I approached the door the sign said, "Sorry We're Closed!" I did not realize they opened at 9:30AM. So I went back to my vehicle to wait 30-minutes until they officially opened. LOL... Wait?! Yes, the crumb cake is that good! Not more than 2-minutes later, I looked back from my vehicle to see the neon 'OPEN' sign on! Rather than having a customer wait they chose to open early. 502 Bakery's customer service matches the quality of their product. Thanks 502 team! See you again soon. Gerald S.”

“I can't say enough great things about this place. The food is GREAT. If you like Hot, this is it. The Chili has a nice kick to it. The hot onions are HOT and delicious. The service you can tell is family owned and operated. The Hot Dogs reminds me of the ole Fat Mikes in north jersey that's long gone. Stop and give it a try. You won't go anyplace else.”

“The best coffee shop in our area. The staff are always prompt and friendly. The drink specials are always changing and they are amazing. Great location right by the water in Island Heights. Highly recommended.”

“I would give them 3 out of 5 stars. since the day they opened, inconsistent with food and drinks. one day the sliders are medium, the next well done. one day your $16 martini is full, the next it's missing the top inch of the drink. one day the pizza is ok, the next time is soup. last time the service was just ok. tonight she was great.”

“Fantastic service and food!”

“Fantastic food and service! Highly recommend…”
