I’m leaving this review solely because I don’t want Dale & Dollops to become another vegan business that disappears. This place used to be our go to spot & we’d drive almost an hour, multiple times a month, just to eat here. We loved the breakfast platters, the nachos, the weekly specials, and the vibe and feeling we’d get here. When they closed for the winter season, we waited eagerly for updates, but there were months of silence. No word on when they’d reopen or what to expect. When they finally reopened in May, things had changed and not for the better. The menu was different, quality felt different, and some of the dishes we came specifically for were just gone. The nachos, which used to be amazing, now have different meat (not as good), and the portion size is noticeably smaller. We came back today because I had an appointment nearby, and the side of chips was mostly just crumbs. After our first visit back, we just haven’t felt excited to return and that’s sad for us. We want to keep coming here & supporting a vegan business that has great staff and people who care about their customers. I hope you’ll consider bringing back some of the original menu items (especially the breakfast platters) and revisit the original nacho meat. Even adding the new dishes alongside the classics could help you appeal to both new and returning customers. I understand concerns with a small kitchen but I hope there’s a middle ground where you can return to the old menu’s quality. Also please don’t stop posting on social media. We used to love seeing your specials and updates. A little more communication / community involvement would go a long way. Still rooting for you but missing the Dale & Dollops we fell in love with.

Love the food here, but my only complaint (being a business owner myself) is the wild inconsistencies in what you get served i.e the actual ingredients. The bread is different almost all the time, wildly varying ammounts of actual food on the sandwhiches. Some days its loaded other days not so much. French Fries have been different a few times. Need to find an actual middle ground/pre portioned size or something so the cooks give the same ammount of food every single time. Other than that. Best of luck. Great location for a vegan diner. Example; Barely any pork roll & a cheaper keizer roll today. Usually recieve almost double the ammount. UPDATE AS OF 7/1/25 New menu is terrible What happened to all the tempeh? The new menu consists of Wraps and Salads with tofu, some breakfast items, "house made deli slices" which im pretty sure are not home made i buy these at the grocery store, fries, and ice cream. Extremely disapointing. Almost every "new" item is horrible compared to the old menu. Disapointing. Read less

I highly recommend Dale and Dollops for the absolute best vegan dishes on the Jersey shore. Their salads and wraps are fabulous and generous proportions are totally your money’s worth. This is my go-to vegan restaurant in Asbury and Ocean Grove. Read less
Updated menu has absolutely no love and is trash
I’ve never had a bad meal here; everything is incredibly delicious, from very healthy bowls to decadent onion rings, mac and cheese, and pork roll, egg, and cheese. I can’t recommend it enough!
What a gem of a place! It's reason enough to visit Ocean Grove, the whole family loved it!
Great food and ambience. We love their wraps and the sundae. Food and kindness in one place.
