New Jersey’s top lobster roll spots and new Margate hot‑dog venue Dock Dogs

A guide to New Jersey’s lobster roll offerings lists dozens of restaurants and food trucks across the state, from Cape May Fish Market and Cousins Maine Lobster to Jack’s Surf & Turf, Angry Archies, Bahrs Landing and several others, each serving variations of the classic Maine, Connecticut or New England style.

In Margate, Dock Dogs opened on June 5 along Scott’s Dock. Owners Timothy and Hillary aim to revitalize the waterfront with a menu of hot dogs—including the Simple Sailor, Robin’s Reuben and a crab‑cake “dog”—vegan Impossible options and seasonal events such as live music and kids nights, all served with bay views.
