Salmon Bay Cafe

Serving the neighborhood's fishing and shipbuilding community since 1970, this renovated waterfront spot purposefully keeps its Jersey Shore diner feel. The kitchen steers clear of small plates and gastro-novelties, focusing on traditional American breakfasts, lunches, and dinners—from two-fisted sandwiches and vegetarian options to plates where hash browns can be swapped for fresh fruit. Regulars stop in for weekend-baked muffins and coffee, backed by a full bar pouring beer, wine, and cocktails.
