Dino’s Seaville Diner (Ocean View, NJ)
It was a cold and bitter day when I found myself in Seaville, NJ. A lot of shore diners are closed during the winter, so it was hard to find an open diner. Luckily Dino’s Seaville Diner is located right off the Garden State Parkway. The famous Peter G. has ranked Dino’s Seaville Diner as one of the best in Cape May County, and I can see why.
Dino’s Seaville Diner Atmosphere: A
Dino’s Seaville Diner looks like a traditional cobblestone diner. It isn’t metallic, but it’s a big open diner with plenty of parking. Inside has several booths, tables, and a full-length bar. You walk in near a dessert case which looked good too.
Dino’s Seaville Diner Coffee: A
The coffee at Dino’s Seaville Diner was brewed hot and fresh, and we were never without it. The waitress made sure we always had hot refills.
Dino’s Seaville Diner Food: A
We arrived at Dino’s Seaville Diner around 4:30 pm, and it was reasonably busy. A little early for dinner, but we were also hungry. Dino’s Seaville Diner menu has everything you need from breakfast, seafood, steak, and healthy options too.
I was craving something warm, so I started with the snapper soup. I’ve had turtle soup at a few diners, including the Town and Country in Bordentown. It was great. Snapper soup is a fun and unique soup.
Since the first time I went, I’ve been back again. Oddly enough, I have found myself in the area two weeks in a row, and I liked Dino’s Seaville Diner.
The most recent time at Dino’s Seaville Diner, I wasn’t sure what I wanted and decided on a Philly cheesesteak which came with chips. My brother had gotten it previously, and it looked good, so I decided to order it. The cheesesteak was great, and it had plenty of actual cheese and meat. It was also relatively easy to eat, food that is often challenging to eat. In all, I was happy with my choice. 
Chips are chips next time I’ll order a different side.
Dino’s Seaville Diner Service: A
The waitress at Dino’s Seaville Diner was one of the best diner waitresses I’ve had. She refilled beverages, and our food came out quickly. Plus she was friendly and made excellent recommendations. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Price: $$
For my soup, coffee, and cheesesteak, the cost was $15.

Philly cheesesteak is something not often found on a menu in Canada. It really looks great! 🙂
