22 dog friendly restaurants in New Jersey

It seems like people are bringing their dogs everywhere. Certainly, a lot more places than a generation ago.

You can see them in plenty of public places in New Jersey, in banks, supermarkets, convenience stores and definitely pet stores. Where you don't always see them is in restaurants. Not everyone is comfortable eating around dogs.

With the warmer weather upon us, plenty of places offer outdoor seating. Luckily for pet owners, there are plenty of really nice restaurants in the Garden State that allow dogs.

There are rules of course and as long as your pooch is well-behaved, they allow it. This list is also for the people who don't like or can't enjoy a meal with dogs around.

Most of the seating for dogs is outdoors, so you can have an option. You can see which ones that you might not have thought allowed dogs but do.

Many of these places are in resort towns where people come for the day and don't feel like leaving Fido behind.
