This is not a ranking.
Restaurants in Long Beach Island, with “Bar/BYOB”, “Cuisine”, “Reservations”, “Outdoor seating” and “Season” for each.
Restaurants in Long Beach Island — Compared
“Not published” means we read the restaurant’s own website or, where it has no website, its own profile, and the fact is not on it. It is a statement about that source, not about the restaurant. In the “Bar/BYOB” column, “Yes” means the restaurant’s own website or own profile says it is BYOB, and “No” means its own website or own profile shows a bar. The “Season” column prints a seasonal restaurant’s own words about its season, as its own website or own profile published them when we read it; it is blank for the rest.

Common Questions
How many restaurants are in this guide?
49 restaurants in Long Beach Island, grouped by cuisine. Chains and franchise brands are not listed.
Is this a ranking?
No. Restaurants are grouped by cuisine, alphabetically with “Other” last, then alphabetically within each cuisine. This is not a ranking, and no restaurant can pay to be listed higher or to change what this table says about it.
How were “Bar/BYOB,” “Outdoor seating” and “Reservations” determined?
From each restaurant’s own website or, where it has none, its own profile — never a customer review, and never a directory’s characterization. Where a restaurant’s own website or own profile does not say, the table reads “Not published” rather than guessing.
About This Guide
This guide is produced by Garden State Circle. Restaurants appear here because they meet the criterion described below — a place to eat there, shown on its own website or own profile, in Barnegat Light, Harvey Cedars, Surf City, Ship Bottom, Long Beach Township and Beach Haven. That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page. No restaurant can pay to be included in this guide, to be listed higher, or to change what the comparison table says about it. Every detail in the table above was read from each restaurant’s own website or, where it has no website, its own profile in November 2026.
Garden State Circle is supported by the businesses that participate in it. Participation pays for our ongoing work: keeping a business’s entry accurate, re-checking its record, and publishing a page of its own details that the business maintains. There is no paid placement in this guide. Participation does not buy a place here, a position here, or anything the comparison table says.
Ingredients, preparation and allergen handling change, and we record what each business publishes rather than inspecting kitchens. If you have a food allergy, confirm directly with the business before you order.
Hours, menus and alcohol policy change often. Every detail here was verified on the date shown above.
Garden State Circle is published locally in New Jersey. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com.

Something Out of Date?
