New Big Dogs Cafe Sets Grand Opening In Bayville

BERKELEY, NJ — What's for lunch? Make it a hot dog on Wednesday, with the grand opening of the new Big Dogs Cafe on Route 9 in Bayville.

The new restaurant replaces Grub City, which recently announced its closing. This will be the second location of the Toms River-based spot.

Its grand opening at 242 Route 9 is set for Aug. 23 at 7 a.m.

Their menu boasts a variety of hot dogs, burgers and sandwiches, plus flatbreads and salads. They also have a barista bar - serving fresh coffee drinks and refreshers made with tea or lemonade.

Those with a sweet tooth won't want to miss their "stacked milkshakes." These are no ordinary ice cream treat. They're layered with toppings, which gives them the stacked name.

And there are breakfast options AND desserts, so it's perfect for any time of day.

The Toms River location replaced Chomp! on Route 37 earlier this year, but has already become a popular spot for foodies.

Frequenters of Grub City will be pleased to know that Big Dogs Cafe has hired much of their original staff, so expect to see some familiar faces.

The restaurant will be open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday. For more information, visit the Big Dogs Cafe Facebook page.
