We always head to Dockside Diner for breakfast when we go to Long Beach for our long week. Never had a bad breakfast.

A classic LBI venue. A must do, that you'll keep coming back to. Breakfast's here are the best part of your day!

Great place with friendly service! The omelet was excellent. It was great to be able to bring my dog. We will return for breakfast in the future. read more

Food and Service was great definitely a great place for a nice little breakfast on the island. It was our first time here and we loved it and would recommend it to others. I got the pancakes and there was nothing more that I could ask for. The service was quick and got people in and out without rushing anyone!!! read more

The customer service was friendly and attentive, smiles all around! It was clean and well-lit. The menu has great choices, we could hardly decide. The 5 dishes my family and I tried were amazingly delicious, our plates were scraped clean. The view of the harbor is right outside the windows, we sat eating during the sunset. It is now on my favorites list, this diner is a place to revisit! read more

This is a great addition to Long Beach Island. Food is excellent especially breakfast.

Quesadilla was very mediocre and had barely any egg in it. Hash browns were horrible and extremely bland and also had a hair in them. Coffee was chunky and tasted like shit . My husband enjoyed her french toast so it gets three stars read more

Just had dinner here. Under new ownership but the food is still terrific. Will be going back for breakfast soon.

We came for breakfast and the food was DELICIOUS!!! Good prices, friendly service, portions are big and ingredients fresh. It's a BYOB which I think is cool. There was a little bit of wait but in my opinion it was totally worth it. On side note I got to say, it was very cool to see that there were about 12 young kids and the chef working the place was super busy, waiting time was 30 minutes and it was so nice to see all the kids had such kind and friendly attitude and you could see how they were coming together as a team to get stuff done. It was nice to see that! read more

Honestly, I was not impressed. The coffee was good and so was the service, definitely one of the better waiters we've had while on the island this year. Also very fast service, food came out very quickly so that's always a plus Not a fan of the outdoor scene. It's not really dockside, more like right next to the street where a ton of trucks are loud AF and you cant hear yourselves. The food was ok at best. If you want fast breakfast at a reasonable price, I'd recommend, but I wouldn't put it at the top of the list. read more

Great service! Great food! Felt like we have been coming there forever! Will definitely be back!

BEST. DINER. on LBI. it's simple amazing. casual good food & friendly, efficient staff. i love this place.

Always a favorite stop on LBI. We were there on a Sunday night in season and it was oddly quiet. Sat right down for dinner. Biggest issue is deciding on meal. Lots of good options. Only issue was there were flies inside which were really annoying. Keep the doors closed to minimize the flies. Or - rather than having the college boys standing around waiting for customers - arm them with fly swatters! read more

Crab cake Benedict is to die for, service was great and food came out quick. Definitely my new breakfast spot

Great breakfast place. Fast service and friendly staff. Will definitely go again when we are back in LBI..

This is one of the restaurants owned by the same family that owns Stefano's and a few other places on the island. They do a really nice job at all of their restaurants, and I had been looking forward to trying this place for a while. Growing up in Jersey gave me a deep love for diners all over the place, and this one falls right in with my favorites. My uncle and I headed down to our shore house because we needed to do some work around the house to get it ready for the summer. After a long hard day of work, I was starving, so I suggested we go here on our way home. I couldnt decide on what I wanted because I was really torn between ordered breakfast or lunch. My brother had told me that the omelets were awesome, but I wound up going the route of a tuna melt, because I just dont get them that often. My uncle's chicken noodle soup and turkey wrap looked pretty good. My tuna melt was fantastic. The tuna had great flavor and there was more than a healthy helping of american cheese. The tuna was mixed with just the right amount of mayo and some celery and onion. The fries served with the tuna melt were amazing. They had the double fried texture, and were super crunchy. They were the perfect pairing to go with the tuna melt. This place has a great menu. The vibe of the place is super cool inside. I love the decoration, and the small intimate feeling of it. It is right on the water and has a beautiful view. The service is good, the food is good, its just a winner of a spot. Definitely worth a visit. read more

We ate breakfast early (8am) on Labor Day weekend. We opted to dine outside (party of 2) and were seated quickly, Our coffee cups were filled as soon as we sat down. I selected the pancakes with the fresh sliced strawberry topping. Our orders came out quickly. My pancakes were yummy, large and fluffy. The friendly staff came around several times with refills for our coffee cups. We had a relaxing experience. read more

Small, casual breakfast and lunch place with a decent view. Large menu with all items freshly made to order. Good portion size. Substitutions easily made. Reasonable prices except for coffee which is only average quality and vastly overpriced. Friendly efficient helpful staff. Beware of the dangerous front door and step which will seriously hurt you especially when it is windy. Some outdoor dining. Street parking. Closes promptly at 3 sometimes earlier. read more

Food was horrible. Mussels appetizer was tired/spoiled. Rest of the food was not much better. Service was worse--we had to refill our own water glasses. Do yourself a favor and avoid. read more

There are many breakfast spots on LBI depending on how far you're willing to drive. I think it's pretty safe to say that Dockside is my favorite, I like it more than Chegg and some of the other big name spots. When it comes to breakfast, I'm opting for healthy - egg whites, grilled chicken, veggies and fruit. Dockside does this really well, as they have some very healthy - but still tasty - omelette options. My gf is different, while she does prefer a healthier breakfast, she also likes some sweetness. Dockside also does this really well, with different options like an omelette wrapped up in a pancake like a taco, and interesting takes on French toast and cinnamon buns. Dockside is the breakfast spot that you can take a group of all different tastes to and please everyone. Definitely worth the wait! read more

Food was delicious! French fries were very hot, extra crispy, and tasty. Colelaw was very good and no preservatives. The special crispy chicken bacon grilled onion melted cheddar and chipole mayo on a grilled ciabetta roll was delicious. All for $8.99. Hubby got the Hog in a blanket. Fat sausage in a large rolled up pancake was different and very good. $7.49. Waitress was very pleasant and attentive. read more

Great spot!! Outside seating under canopy is lovely. We took our dog there today and it worked perfectly! Great avocado toast!!

They now serve dinner, with some daily specials that are truly special. So relaxing to sit by the window and see all the boats because THEY HAVE A WATER VIEW!! It's BYOB so for a delicious dinner for two it was under $50. read more

My brother and I took our Dad here this morning. We lost our Mom on Friday and my brother's birthday is today, so my Dad wanted to go for breakfast. I cannot say enough about this place! Not only was the food excellent and the coffee great, the people who work there could not have been nicer. Our waitress Karen was lovely and the owner Anthony made us feel right at home. It was such a wonderful experience for us and just what we all needed. read more

The food was ok. I got an omelet and it was good...not the best but it was ok. Parking at this place is nuts. Only go here if you know how to parallel park, because there is no parking lot. The place is very small with limited seating but the staff was very nice. If I had it to do over I would have went to Fred's Diner up the street. read more

Great service: polite and friendly staff. Good selection for adults and kids; we went for breakfast this day. Restaurant is clean and has a bright beach friendly atmosphere.

The seating is a bit tight, and the parking can be a challenge, but I love this place! Quaint diner with strong coffee, friendly service, and some of the best hashbrowns I've ever had.
