A few weeks ago, I met my coworker and friend, Lora D, on Long Beach Island. She’s a native of the area and suggested we go to the Dockside Diner.

Atmosphere: A
As the name indicates, it’s located right on the Dock. You can watch the boats. The outside is rustic and made from wood.

The inside is a small, shore diner. When we arrived for lunch, it was packed, and we sat outside.

Coffee: B
The coffee was good, and the waitress refilled it often. Nothing stood out, but I have no complaints.

Food: A
The Dockside Diner has all sorts of breakfast and lunch options. They are open on weekends for dinner too. Since it’s along the shore, there are a lot of seafood options.

I knew I wanted something seafood-related and decided on the Sailors Omelet which was stuffed with crab meat and topped with hollandaise sauce. It was delicious. I chose rye bread, which was drenched in butter, I could have used a little less, but it was good.

The side hashbrowns were cooked with just a bit of crisp (my favorite).

I enjoyed my meal and would order it again.

Service: A
The waitress was friendly, and our food came out quickly.

Cost: $
For my meal and coffee, it was $17.

Overall Thoughts/Summary:
I enjoyed the Dockside Diner. The meal was fresh, and there are so many different unique seafood options. The menu reminds me of a cute seafood cafe.
