I had the pleasure of visiting "Big Dogs cafe" for the first time recently, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. Despite passing by countless times, this visit finally happened, and I'm glad it did. This establishment easily earns a well-deserved 5-star rating from me. The service was commendable, leaving no room for complaints. The standout, however, was the food itself. Every dish I tried exceeded expectations, making the slightly higher price point absolutely worth it. Having such a gem so close to my residence on rt 37 is a true convenience, and I'm sure it's equally convenient for others. The cafe's location is undeniably advantageous, and I am already looking forward to returning and indulging in more of their delectable offerings. The portion sizes took me by surprise; the sandwiches and meals were generously portioned, leaving me both satisfied and impressed. A heartfelt thank you to the team at "Big Dogs cafe" for providing exceptional food and service. It's safe to say that I will be a returning customer, eager to explore the variety of dishes on the menu. If you're seeking a memorable dining experience with fantastic food and a convenient location, this cafe should be your next stop.

We needed a quick bite and decided to give Big Dogs a try. The staff was super kind and our food came out super fast. The mozzarella sticks are not to be missed... we couldn’t even finish them. All American Burger was fresh and didn’t leave us in a greasy daze. Will come back! Thank you to the kind people there.

Food was excellent and the young lady at the front was very polite! Her dog and I share the same name . I ordered the mozzarella sticks, which are HUGE, and the chicken sandwich (forget the exact name at this time) but it had cheddar cheese, frizzled onions, and I asked for no bacon, which they did! Great service & food!

Big Dogs in Toms River is hands-down one of the best spots around! The staff is super friendly, the service is fast, and the food is absolutely delicious. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or hanging out with friends, the atmosphere is always welcoming and laid-back. Their wings and burgers are next-level—flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Plus, the prices are really reasonable for the quality you get. If you’re in the area and haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. Highly recommend!

The food here is fantastic. I’ve never dined in house but the pick up I’ve ordered is ready quickly is correct and taste really good. They have an amazing rewards program as well. Highly recommend.

The burgers are not the only thing that I want to comment about here, but they're the primary reason I keep coming back.. this small eatery on the road to seaside is a must for serious chow hounds! The Stacked BigDog is my go-to usually, though I sometimes am in the mood for TEXICAN.. Every time I visit, a new item catches my eye, and then I'm forever sold!! The lemonades are inexpensive, so I get 2 or 3 usually and the LEMON Wings to go. The flavor of the cheese here is something worth remarking- it's almost like a provolone or a gouda.. one day I gotta ask. Don't forget your BIGDOG'S Sauce to take home too. 2 kinds to choose from! I can't give more than 5 stars, but you'll be blown away by the freshness. No bull.

The best word to describe every bite I took is delectable. It was beyond delicious! My boyfriend and I loved everything we got! Staff was great and everything was brought out in a timely manner. Absolutely in love with the burst of flavors with the sauce and the meat itself. Will definitely be coming back, sorry burger25...

Big Dog delivers Big with the All American Burger, pair it with crispy fries and a can of Diet Coke for the Big Dog win.
