50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ocean

“I always enjoy the sunset diner ever since I use to go out with the leauge after bowling and recently when I had my big sister in jersey for a weekend I took her there after bowling we had lunch together this place brings people and family together with excellent service and great food“

“Great place to grab a drink, hang out with friends and enjoy great beer. Such a wide selection compared to what's typically available retail, including special bottles and barrel aged brews. Place is not as noisy as a lot of tasting rooms, plenty of seating and sports in two screens. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Glad this one is hidden away so that only the real fans will find it.“

“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!“

“The food is amazing, service and staff are always top notch. Drinks are top notch.“

“My boyfriend and I go there at least once a month , each time we go we are treated like kings and queens !! The staff is excellent well respected and high honored in professionalism!! The food is always excellent and colorful !!! We both are in this field working with adults with special needs , we are honored every time we go there !!! Some restaurants need to take lessons from this place !! If there was ten stars or more that is what i would give them !!“

“Absolutely love this place! Our waiter was amazing and very knowledgeable on everything on the menu. Yes EVERYTHING!! I personally don’t like beets but everyone I was with said they were to die for. Meatballs were amazing. The tomato sauce was so yummy. Mushrooms I would label as vegetarian steak. Beautifully charred. The sausage and peppers pasta dish is my favorite thing on the menu. I love everything about it. Pasta is always perfectly cooked. I can’t say enough good things about this place!“

“Super amazing service. I went twice in the same day as i’m from North Jersey and was only on a small weekend getaway trip. The girls were lovely - I wish I caught their names. But they were amazing! Matcha was great quality - I think I have the Graham Central (something lol) and the Baklava Latte. Super yummy!“

“Really great sushi and perfect service!“

“Had the Philly Cooper last night with fries and it was amazing. The portions were great as well as the service and atmosphere. Will definitely be back .“

“Love it! Easily the best breakfast spot on the street, can't see why the review score is so low!

We had the egg breakie plate, Mr. Nutty smoothie, and an Avo toast w/ Turkey sausage. Everything was perfect! Looking forward to coming back next time we're in the area

Thank you so much for the amazing service the food was incredible and we had so much fun what a beautiful and fun spot will definitely be there again can't wait to see you again Meghan!“

“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.“

“Went for the first time for dinner and it was delicious. The place is super cute and cozy. We had the Hanger Steak with chimuchuri and asparagus with a nice salad and the Swordfish. The steak was cooked to perfection and the swordfish was so tasty. It didn't feel like typical tavern food, it felt like someone who loves you cooked it for you. Melissa was our server and she was sweet and attentive. Looking forward to returning again very soon.“

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

“This restaurant has amazing food and the waiters are very kind“

“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!“

“amazing beer and farmhouse brewery with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces“

“I had always went to their Asbury Park location on Cookman or the boardwalk there. I decided to try the Long Branch Pier Village location. I’ve been back twice in the past two weeks. Natural sunlight floods into this location. It’s super clean and the staff is so friendly. One gentleman even carried my lunch over to my table and lent me his phone charger because my phone had died. Parking is free in the winter. Your view is the boardwalk and sky. A beach vibe feel. I went on the boardwalk after and took a walk. It was the perfect break.
The food - I had their squash soup and purple rice the first time at this location. I mixed them together. It was the perfect combination of just enough spice and warmth for a cold winters day. Fantastic and could tell it was not just squeezed out of some plastic bag and tossed in a microwave. This was homemade with a slice of crusty sourdough that was incredible and a nice touch. The second time I went I had every thing they put on the pork taco except the pork, I replaced it with tofu instead. There was no problem doing that and they rolled with that request. The food is excellent and consistant. There was never a time where I thought they are loosing their touch. I like the new limited time menu items because I’m always up for trying something new. The culinary combinations are so good. I wouldn’t consider it fast food at all even though you can get it to go , delivered or dine in. The prep is fast , the price is very fare , the food is homemade, consistently great and drink choices fantastic. With all that , bright and cheerful staff , view and good energy of the establishment I’ve decided to go to this location a lot.“

“Just ordered for the first time to surprise my wife . She is extremely happy . The nox. Tail tofu platter and jerk Tofu are amazing all the sides were great and the portions are perfect !! Thank you ! We will be back“

“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.“

“Went here with some reservations; wasn't a huge fan of the former restaurant. However, Judy's is great! Amazing matzoh ball soup and a great steak, followed by the chocolate budino. Great Non-Alc drink selection as well. My husband had the fluke piccata and the salad. Cannot wait to go back!“

“Awesome place! Best dive in NJ“

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

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

“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.“

“Food is Amazing . Always bursting with flavors! I door dash from my work frequently and never disappointed only impressed“

“Good Karma Cafe is our nearby special occasion spot. We like everything that we get from there, and we have tried at least half of the large menu at this point. However, our family favorite is the tiramisu cup. On multiple occasions we have foregone birthday cake in favor of those tiramisu cups. Delicious.“

“Their delicious Ice cream sundaes! 😋👍❤️“

“Cannot praise the owner of this cafe more highly! Above and beyond service and help when I accidentally left my phone. Literally saved me from complete breakdown! Not to mention the excellent wait staff, coffee, and delicious avocado toast! Really looking forward to a return visit to this lovely town and excellent cafe. ☕️☕️🥑🥑🥯🥯“

“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.“

“fun venue with creative Space.“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“Delicious fresh food.
So much variety! Sushi, poke bowls, burgers, meat pizzas (pulled beef is the best!), salmon platters, vegetarian options, impossible burgers, etc, etc.
Great service too!
The interior can use an update but, otherwise, a great experience in every respect and for every age!
Last but not least, this restaurant is not overpriced like every other kosher option nearby.
Strongly recommend!“

“What is referred by my brother-in-law i was not disappointing“

“Yummy My breakfast eggs and greens with avocado was amazing !“
