Jones Beach, New York Restaurants

Jones Beach may be to New York City what Santa Monica Beach is to Los Angeles. It is a beachfront playground that attracts visitors not only from the City, but from all over the North Atlantic states. Like any good destination, after an activity-filled day at the beach, there are plenty of options to satisfy whatever your appetite craves.

All American Hamburger Drive In

Few things complement a day at the beach quite like a hamburger and fries. With its unassuming exterior, the landmark All American Hamburger Drive In has been attracting locals and tourists alike since 1963. With a simple menu and outdoor seating, this place is a popular choice for family-friendly dining in a casual environment. The prices are very affordable, although they do not accept credit cards. If you keep your eyes open, you just might see a celebrity or two, since Jerry Seinfeld and the Baldwin family are known to stop by for a burger.
