50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ocean

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“Really great sushi and perfect service!“

“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.“

“Great food! The Burgers are amazing!!“

“I was in town 2 years ago and tried this place.. I LOVED espresso and I’m not lying I still think about my latte probably once a week.. I’ve tried so many coffee shops and this was by far my favorite. Can’t wait to go back!!! Oh and the cookies… don’t even get me started“

“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.“

“We ordered for delivery through DoorDash and I do not like to post bad reviews about anyone. It could have been an off day and it happens. We ordered the cinnamon pancakes, BLT on wheat and the eggs Benedict. I love eggs Benedict, the potatoes were good. It needed a little more hollandaise but the sad thing about my platter was it had half an egg shell. Just please make it better or be very careful. Thank you“

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

“There is no better place in Asbury The service is impeccable. The vibe is fantastic. The food, nothing short of sublime. We had an amazing memorable dinner.

“THE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH (FOOD OVERALL) IS AMAZING!!! WOW, THE BEST I'VE HAD IN CENTRAL JERSEY. EVERYTHING IS COOKED TO PERFECTION. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HAVING THEIR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND THIS PLACE HAS WON ME OVER. IM VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO A GOOD BREAKFAST, THIS PLACE HAS FULFILLED MY NEEDS.

“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!“

“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.“

“last visit i had the red hot love fresh pressed juice that exploded with flavors! this time I had the tasty avocado toast and the local favorite, Belmar Banger smoothie! better than expected! relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff! can't wait to try more!“

“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.“

“Awesome place! Best dive in NJ“

“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 :)“

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

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

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. ☕️☕️🥑🥑🥯🥯“

“Their delicious Ice cream sundaes! 😋👍❤️“

“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“

“Great ice cream. Great variety.“

“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“
