50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ocean Grove

“My sister from Dallas & I ate there 3 times out of 6 nights- fabulous food!“

“Everything:-) bagels are bomb“

“I recommend Everything. It starts with the greeting from everyone in the shoppe. No matter what you choose you can’t go wrong. Love all the seasonal specials and the every day treats. Breads are also fantastic. If you’re in OG it’s a Must stop“

“Absolutely love what Makana’s has brought to Asbury Park! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a burst of fresh, inviting aromas and a smile from the friendly staff. I tried their signature Philly Wrap and the Ube latte, both of which were out of this world!“

“We have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and finally decided to take the drive this evening and it was so worth it! The service was so personable and friendly! That said we knew it was going to be a good evening before even trying our food! Then we had the tuna pizza and ceviche PHENOMENAL! We asked if we could have chips with the ceviche and at first they were unsure but they made it happen and it was so good! We also tried three rolls and honestly they were some of the best we've ever had! We cannot wait to be back!“

“I searched for a restaurant in Asbury that offered vegan, gluten free options and came across Reyla’s. I’m so happy I found this gem! I truly appreciate the thought that went in to create these dishes. Most restaurants don’t put much thought into offerings for people with dietary restrictions. There was something for everyone in our party. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with an amazing flavor profile and presentation. We all loved each dish including dessert. Jules was our delightful server who was attentive, professional and great at her job.“

“Goldrush has become my favorite neighborhood spot! For coffee, an amazing cookie / pastry or a friendly face. The staff is amazing, the location is warm and welcoming. The perfect spot to pop in with a friend or hang solo to get a little work done. 10/10 recommend!“

“Great coffee and fun healthy snacks
Yes can be a bit pricey but I believe it really lives up to the hype
Ignore the haters in reviews and give this place a shot! Can’t wait for summer season so I can frequent this spot again!“

“Really great sushi and perfect service!“

“Great food! The Burgers are amazing!!“

“friendly helpful staff. lots of options, flight is a great way to taste a few“

“Great lagers. No food, but the sports bar Baseline Social is in the same building and they do have food. The type of small operation that should be supported.“

“Best coffee & danishes in NJ, hands down.“

“The Grand Victorian (Allison) recommended this little cafe and it was awesome. Kelly was a great waitress who provided a wealth of information as to where to go. The food was delicious and service was fast. Highly recommend.“

“Popped in on a whim and met staff for the first time. Welcoming, friendly, and immaculate store. The assortment of sandwiches on the menu will please all. Ordered Sloppy Russian, Antico, & Italian… delicious. Big City Sandwiches for sure. Fresh breads. So happy to have such a great deli in town. Will certainly be back soon to try another.“

“I have been going to Ada’s for probably close to a decade if not longer. I am familiar with Ethiopian cuisine and she truly delivers every time. While I can’t speak to the other cuisines I have learned over time that her heart is in every dish. The doro wot is top! (Well it all is). The AP location is lovely. I can’t wait to go back, and that is coming from a Californian.“

“If you’re anywhere near Asbury Park, you definitely have to go to Judy’s. Know that this spot is two lovely spaces within the St. Laurent Hotel, Judy’s (the restaurant) and Harry’s (the lounge/bar). We walked in around 6:15pm on a Friday (off-season, but busy) and the FOH staff made a point to find space for us. Joe and Sarah took it from there and were outstanding. Sat at the chefs counter and loved everything that hit our table - latke and crab/shrimp lumache were true standouts. Come for the exceptional atmosphere, attentive service, delicious food or all of the above! 💕“

“Great beer and variety. Nice location. Family friendly.“

“First time here… was delicious! Can’t wait to try the Thursday dinners!!!“

“Ordered catering for family party. Food was SO good! Delivery on time. Quick setup. They even provided serving utensils. I had to make a few last-minute changes and they were super to work with. The ribs were tender & not fatty at all. And the mac ‘n cheese & cornbread were big hits! Definitely recommend. I’m already ordering again for next weekend.“

“I highly recommend Confections of a Rock$tar! Hands down the BEST cupcakes around!“

“Took the dog to the animal hospital nearby and stopped in for a cappuccino. I was impressed with the operation, and the different type of coffees and preparations. Definitely a great place for coffee.“

“Great food, good service, and I like how it’s a boat themed restaurant“

“What a gem! Super cute venue, perfect for intimate gathering or workshops! The food is amazing, the staff is the greatest and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting! Really enjoyed my time there!“

“I tried it for the first time yesterday and the food was great. Had the s’mores donut and cookie ice cream sandwich. Asked Grace at the register questions and she replied with detailed description, was very helpful and friendly. They also provide a punch card for the visits for a reward and offer Monmouth University students a discount. Good cuisine and amazing customer service. Definitely would come again and try more options :)“

“Came in for breakfast. Anthony was my server and he was great. He was Knowledgeable and accommodated my dietary needs. He checked in from time to time and I will request him when I return. The food was fresh and prepared well and was nicely presented.“

“Was there after the lunch crowd today 2/1/22. The place was spotless, the restroom was also. Excellent choice of burgers and sandwiches. My wife and I both had burgers and we both agreed they were the best we have had in at least 20 yrs. Grade A meat and the french fries were freshly cut and fried. Can't wait to get back. If you are a movie buff like me you will love the decor. The service was great also.“

“Have been in a number of times to eat but recently placed a catering order for a birthday party. The owner, Tom, gave me perfect recommendations for how much to order for the number of guests and made ordering, paying + pickup beyond easy (including some extras like rolls, sauces and pickled onions). The food was the talk of the party!! People couldn't stop going back for more and asking where it came from. Will definitely be back again and again!“

“We are never disappointed! Look forward to the seasonal flavor text messages.“

“I had the pleasure to have catering services from Rosa's Kitchen for my retirement/60th birthday back in June 2023. We always want to share our Puertorican cuisine to our guests when we have special events at home. We had "arroz con gandules, pollo guisado, ensalada de papa" among other selections. Our guests were so impressed and satisfied with the texture and the flavor of our Puertorican cuisine thanks to your service. We definitely recommend Rosa's Kitchen for catering services. Muchas gracias.“

“Stopped by the newly opened Gigi’s in Long Branch on my way to the beach. First off, loved that they have a parking lot which didn’t stress me about finding a spot cause I was going to have that adventure when I headed to the beach. I ordered the grandma’s pie and garlic knots! The grandma’s pie had pesto on it and I am a s***** for pesto!! Love the crust style being crispy. Hands down the best garlic knots I ever had! Don’t sleep on this place. It’s 3 blocks from the beach, easy parking and they deliver. I look forward to some pasta dishes on my next visit! Other key likes of mine was the aesthetic, it’s beautiful Inside but decorated to make you feel outside. I was very impressed with the kid friendly atmosphere of the chalkboard wall, beanbag seats and they even have juice boxes on hand for the kiddos. They also accommodate our tweens and teens with a pizza wing mural for their insta! They really thought of everything. The whole staff were so accommodating and genuine. Thank you Tommy and Faye for a great experience.“

“Love this place! Great food & service 🏆🏆 My go to is The Paramountal breakfast. French Toast, Sausage links, eggs over medium.“

“The breakfast is excellent at the Riverside Cafe . Their pancakes are among the best I have ever had with great texture and flavor, (no need for syrup). I also liked their egg sandwiches and homemade hash browns. Looking forward to trying more food from here. It is nice to have friendly service while enjoying the view of the boats as they move through the inlet.“

“We visited the juice Basin on a trip to Asbury Park. The smoothies were amazing, service was friendly and helpful. It was a hot day and a long walk to get there. Was able to stay as long as we wanted too, to cool down. Very Much appreciated!!! It was a long walk from the beach, but was worth the trip.“

“Great atmosphere for a family breakfast. Food is delicious and service is great“

“I’ve been a customer since they opened, and I still get excited when I sit down to a Love Bowl (tempeh and spicy peanut). The owners are dedicated, hardworking, and their food is delicious and satisfying. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-15“

“Their delicious Ice cream sundaes! 😋👍❤️“

“Beer and pizza. So Yummy!!“

“This is the cutest location weve been to yet. Really friendly staff and awesome vibes coming from this place. there's nowhere to really chill but you shouldn't be hanging there for too long anyway because there's too much life to live outside“

“The best breakfast and service locally! Wow. The portions are generous, the food absolutely delicious, biscuits OMG, and the kind staff who are so hard working….this is the absolute best spot!“

“We stopped in tonight for the 1st time. Very clean, great service and Mr. & Mrs. Claus were there!🎅 I love the family affair! We will be back...Oh, and the ice cream was delicious, too!! 🍨“

“Great ice cream. Great variety.“
