Now the food here is always solid, but I have to say the highlight was the OUTSTANDING service by Javier, who goes by "J." Whoever at Dino's sees this or is in a position of power, promote J instantly. Give him a pay increase or whatever you can give him. He is excellent and deserves great things. Also, THE MUSIC WAS PEAK. They played "I Love You" by The Climax Blues Band and "Danny's Song" by Loggins and Messina. Whoever is on aux, give them a raise instantly. 10/10 Meal after church genuinely peak life! read more

We dined at Dino's for dinner during the week in the summer with a party of 8. Half of our party ate here last year and had a great experience with their seafood, so they recommended we come back during this year's vacation. They do not take reservations even for larger parties, but we were seated immediately upon arriving. From the menu, the vibe, the layout, and the decor, everything about Dino's screamed diner. Lots of menu options to choose from, but everyone was set on seafood. We started with two orders of the Stuffed Mushrooms with Crabmeat. What a start to our meals. They were surprisingly delicious, diner or not! Our entrees came with a soup or salad, and two sides. My wife opted for the split pea soup while I upgraded to snapper soup for a $1 up charge. Both soups were very good as well, and the dollar up charge for the snapper soup was totally worth it. Most of us opted for some kind of broiled seafood platter. I ordered the broiled seafood combo which came with shrimp, scallops, flounder, deviled clam, and a crab cake. My wife chose the broiled scallops and flounder. While the crab cake and deviled clam were delicious, we both agreed the flounder, shrimp, and scallops were bland. As sides we had green beans, fried zucchini, baked potatoes, French fries, and mashed potatoes, most of which were underwhelming. My father-in-law's mashed potatoes came out barely warm, the marinara we requested for the zucchini tasted more like stewed tomatoes, and my baked potato was kind of soggy from being wrapped in foil. Seven of our dinners arrived fairly quickly. Our server, who was actually very good, informed me that someone bumped her tray and they needed to remake my entree. All good, I understand things happen, but my meal didn't come out until everyone else was almost finished eating so I felt rushed. I was offered ice cream or Jell-o as consolation which was a nice gesture, but not worth me accepting especially since we were all so stuffed from the huge portion sizes. I would 100% give Dino's another chance. There were definitive bright spots: stuffed mushrooms, soups, crab cakes, deviled clams, green beans. Next time I'd pass on the seafood and leave the diner food to the diner. Dino's was and I did not notice anybody else ordering seafood. Maybe just a rookie mistake on our part. read more

Relentless - that is the word that comes to mind. A ceaseless discharge of waste is all that remains after my feeding session. I'm hot, dressed only in sweat, lying on the floor of Dino's bathroom. I never knew Dino, but I am well familiar with his legacy. It all started back in 2017. My old buddy "D-FENS" we called him, because now he works for the DoD, and I stopped by the Seaville Institution that is Dino's one summer evening. I've never been the same since. If I think back, I'd wager I've housed upwards of 40 double cheese burgers with avocado over the course of the nine years since. Sometimes three per session. Anyway, at Dino's you will find something long forgotten in the annals of our age. They built the asylums to contain those who knew of its secret, to reeducate them, but at Dino's the truth still whispers to those with ears to hear. I am going now, back to room where they feed me that which was promised to me. Bless you all. read more

I had to ask three times for lemon for my water. I wouldn't recommend getting sandwiches. My husband's burger was so-so and my chicken breast sandwich was on an enormous roll and the chicken was dry and hard to chew. Our server Eileen didn't check back until we were done eating. We may try again and get dinners, avoid the sandwiches. read more

The vibe in the restaurant was very good and old fashioned it was very calm and quiet atmosphere. The food in Dino's is good and they bring out bread and the soups are good. the service is friendly and normal people work there. The food and portions are good but beware the food there CAN cause a STOMACHACHE. overall the resturant is very good and is a classic. read more

We love Dino's. Always good! Huge portions and more reasonable than a lot of places on the island. read more

We stopped by to my mother's favorite diner in her honor. She and my stepfather loved Dino and this amazing diner. We got her favorite: the deep-fried seafood combo (shrimp, crab cake and scallops) with a side of deep-fried eggplant (arteries be damned!) and picked beets. It was predictably awesome. Add to that the fantastic enthusiasm and professional attentiveness of our server Easton and it was another memorable visit. Best of luck at Stockton to Easton! Thank you Dino's for allowing us another chance to remember Mom and Captain Jack! read more

Dino's Seaville Diner - Deep-fried seafood combo! - American Near Me - Seaville, New Jersey

My first time here. I called an order in was told 20 mins . I got here at 9:30 asked about the food and was told a few more mins it been 30‍. The hosted just looked at me looked back to the kitchen and said nothing. My food finally came out an hour later. I went to pay and this entitled white man jumped in front of me. I said sir I was next and replied no I am, I have been waiting for 10 mins. The lady at the cash register was very old grandma type , say's to me let me just take his payment. I said really and he came back to say yes really. The old lady saw it were this situation was going and tried to explain to him why she should take me first after taking his payment. I looked at her and said don't even bother to explain it would not make a difference. Then she took my payment and apologized for the inconvenience and give me a free chocolate cookie for my trouble. Prejudices at its finest, from the customer to the employee. I will never go there again and it's really sad because the food was wonderful but the treatment I received while there was unacceptable. read more

Our server Adonis was amazing!!! So funny and kind and helpful. And the food was great. Thanks Dino! Also the coldslaw was 10/10.

I will start off by saying I don't write bad reviews. From beginning to end it was a horrible experience. we waited about 35 minutes for a table. we got the table and our waitress didn't stop talking to others and complaining. Owner sat and watched World Cup food took over an hour to come out. hopefully just a bad day for this place but I won't know. last time coming here read more

Consistently, high quality, never disappoints, those raviolis!! Omg! Best ravs anywhere, with fat pockets of ricotta, cooked perfectly! Every menu item is a pleaser. You wont get a bad meal here and you'll have a hard time finishing the portions. Chicken parm-crispy and juicy, flavorful, this family vowned business knows what theyre doing! Desserts a must! Prompt and friendly service, best place to go to for versatile menu, something for everyone!! Prices are great! WHEN visiting the Jerseyshore include Dinos in your visit. Youll be happy you did!! read more

Food is fresh and reasonable! Service is amazing! Fresh baked goods always on display ! Love it here!

I really wanted to like it here as having a good diner close by is great, but sadly I was disappointed. From the start we were seated in the back of the restaurant and waited over 10 mins and no one came to us. I had to ask a server if someone could attend to our table. When we finally were waited on, the service was slow. We ordered pancakes and the server brought out 1 pancake. Didn't ask if we wanted a stack or just one- made an assumption I guess so we had to order more. My son got the kids mac and cheese which was pasta with an alfredo looking sauce. He did not like it (nor eat it) so we asked for chicken tenders and we were charged for both. I didn't make a thing of it, but that has not happened to us in the past. The upside was that the salad we ordered was delicious and fresh. Overall- food was fair but not planning to return. read more

I eat here every once in a while. The service is always good and everyone is welcoming and nice. Been coming here since I was a kid and it was on the intersection. If you remember that you are OLD. Haha. Food is generally pretty good. Prices decent. Only complaint is it is a bit musty. Not sure. Maybe its what they use to clean. Anyway. Good joint. Local favorite. Wife had a french dip and I had chicken croquettes. Both good. Ive had breakfast here quite a few times. Always good. read more

Overall just okay. Service and food, just okay. Interior is dated, but was very clean. Food came out incredibly slow. We ordered an open faced sandwich and chicken parm sandwich with a side of fries. It was around 25-30min from the time we ordered to the time it was served. Side of fries was so small, I would not have ordered if I knew. They were also pretty hard/overcooked. Food was okay, everything needed salt and pepper, but at least it was hot. Mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes. Our server and everyone else was very polite, but may have been new. Never refilled drinks, checked on us about 3 minutes after giving the food and we didn't see him again. Overall we won't go out of our way to come back. read more

We stopped here for dinner and they had chicken pot pie as a special for Sunday night. I ordered that along with French onion soup. The soup was delicious. The chicken pot pie was just okay at $20. On a scale of 1 to 10 maybe a a 6. The best chicken pot pie is from Ponzio diner in Cherry Hill. They only had them on Thursday nights and for about same price soup is included My wife had a broiled chicken and she said her dinner was good. read more

Nice family diner! Great homemade food. EVERYTHING IS HOMEMADE! I love all things breakfast and you can order breakfast for dinner if you like!! Their salads are amazing.

D S D has been one of my favorite diners for years, but the food quality seems to have taken a slight backslide that surprised me. The place was packed as usual and although they were understaffed our server did a wonderful job taking a order, and bringing out the food pretty quickly. The food, (I had hot roast beef) was not up to par that I was used to. The other two people at the table had a Rueben, and a chef salad, food was just ok read more

Welcoming, clean, good service. Excellent parking. The tables were laid out like a refectory, not much atmosphere and dark. Excellent and well washed house salad to commence with a very good blue cheese dressing. Breaded and fried fresh flounder very dry. Not very tempting or exciting. Rice pudding, house made, good. Would I return? If I was passing. Not exceptional. read more

Spent the night down the shore at my friends' place and the next morning she had plans for us to go to her go-to breakfast spot. Parking is available on premise and plenty of it but got full pretty quick. It was about 10am and there was a line out the door. For a table of 7, it took about 20 minutes to get seated. Ended up ordering my go-to diner breakfast: two eggs, bacon and tater tots (substituted home fries which I usually get). The eggs were cooked perfect and the bacon was nice and crispy and the tater tots were extra extra crispy. I will probably not order tater tots for breakfast because it's not healthy, at all lol it was tasty but def getting the home fries for breakfast. Coffee was fresh and solid. I could see why this is a town favorite and if I was in the area this would be the spot I would go to for breakfast. Service was good at first but our waitress disappeared and we had to get service from another waitress until our waitress reappeared. She did apologize though :) * BACON surprised me because they were not small and shriveled up for how crispy they were. They are not stingy with the bacon! read more

Best seafood restaurant in south jersey...by far....service is always good...make sure to try the desserts

Dino's Diner has wonderful service. The wait time is great and the food is very good.

The food was amazing and the service was like I was family definitely recommended will.be coming back

Could this be one of the best diners in jersey shore? I believe the answer is yes. The diner on the outside is very welcoming with a real homey vibe. I had the snapper soup for a starter which was one of the best I've had in a long time. The perfect amount of sherry wine sauce in a rich brown broth which layed fresh pieces of turtle meat that was so tender and Devine. For the entree, I had the salmon, scallops, and shrimp. Salmon was perfect with a lemon squeezed overtop, it was great. As for the scallops, they were marvelous as they fell apart right after you bit into them. Shrimp was good as well, nice and seasoned with a great crunch of tenderness after each one. read more

We happened to be driving by and were starving for dinner. They had a full lot so they had to be good right? I ordered chicken croquettes and mashed potatoes with a side of applesauce and a side salad. The salad was just okay. The chicken croquettes were pretty good; well seasoned on the inside. The mashed potatoes were a bit bland but edible. Service was great as well. Solid choice for food in the area. read more

Having lived in the area for years, surprisingly I was not familiar with Dino's. After hearing a friend talk about it and thinking of trying someplace new for lunch I gave it a try. I found the French Dip, roast beef, sandwich to be delicious. You t was full of meat and flavor. Service was good and plenty of parking. I'll be back! read more

Usually get take out and they NEVER mess up the order. Great food for a decent price.

I'm basing this on one visit. Breakfast eggs Benedict and it was just okay. The piece Of Ham was very thin, the English muffin was huge and not a lot of hollandaise sauce. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Overall my breakfast was dry and just Okay. Service was fine, nice people. read more
