50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Absecon

“This place is the best!!! Best seafood I’ve ever had. Fresh. Definitely stop by here!! They have a beautiful dining setup too!“

“Last night we dined here and everything was excellent, from the service to the food, only thing we didn’t care for and was disappointed in was the crème brûlée, it’s not your typical traditional crème brûlée but everything else was wonderful. Will be back for sure!“

“In my humble opinion, I must state that my total experience at this “Exceptional Restaurant “ was 10 STARS! The staff greeted when I arrived with a smile and I must admit that the CRAP TRAP has a philosophy of making sure you will have an individual who is a Professional who will advise you and answer any questions about their “SUPERIOR” menu! Our waitress never missed a beat when it came to advising me the in her opinion, I should choose their famous Crab Cake that was stuffed with crab and no fillers! One thing that you will observe, their salad was so fresh and the rolls & muffins were homemade & hot! You have several choices of side dishes & I selected the apple sauce that had to be prepared in house, and the frech fries were crispy and also seasoned perfectly! Our table was spotless, and the whole restaurant had a staff who never rushed you, but was always there to refill you water! I have dined in 5 Star Restaurants on my vacations & business trips, and all I must state is for being my 1ST Visit to the CRAP TRAP, I plan to make it a weekly location and a priority on my “Schedule”! I have wanted to dine there before, but I can add there parking lot suggested that there was a long wait, When I entered, I was so impressed by the size of the inside accommodation! I must apologize for my velours review, but I truly feel that this restaurant is a “GEM”“

“I’ve been dying to try this place since seeing it featured on Triple D and it did not disappoint. Great atmosphere and the food was off the charts. Definitely try the snapper turtle soup. I also had the chipotle shrimp salad sandwich which is a home run.“

“Waitress very nice and friendly, also I love the house blend mild sauce, I ordered combo B, with snow crab legs/ head on shrimp and mussels, additional order scallops, they all so good“

“Awesome Dinner as usual and great service…“

“My first time and I’ll definitely be back. I had the Connecticut roll and it was very good. Comparable in size and amount of meat to Quincy’s but a little cheaper. I was greeted warmly and offered a frequent buyer card.“

“I go to Casino Lobster for several reasons: 1. Locally owned business, supporting LOCAL economy. 2. Quality. Indisputable. 3. Selection. If it comes from the sea, they have it. 4. Value. Competitive prices. 5. Availability. They have it. It is in stock. 6. Service. They want your business because they are always friendly and helpful. These are 6 reasons why I shop for seafood at Casino lobster first. Oh, while I am praising Casino Lobster…. Where do you think that the seafood at the grocery store comes from, and how long did it take to get there???? Now you know.“

“I wasn't expecting this place to be too good, after I tried some other local spots but it was soooo good! We loved everything we ordered! My personal favorite was mac'n'cheese and coleslaw, it was exactly how I like it. Catfish was delicious as well! We did wait about 30 mins but it was totally worth it! Sylvia's has nothing on them! ❤️“

“The Branzino, melt in your mouth explosion of well balanced culinary experience. The wait teams are very well coordinated and genuine which enhances the ambiance. You will miss something special should you not experience this at least once.“

“First, I want to say… whatever shucker’s needs to do to keep Zach, pay him.

The best experience I’ve had at the shore. Drinks were absolutely perfect. I was welcomed like I was a local and put on to everything else in the area. I’ll be back to margate based on the service. The food is priced perfectly, the drinks are perfect.

We usually go to Delaware beaches and Atlantic City almost ruined coming back.

Glad I stopped by. Spin the wheel.

Thank you!! Zach(k?) completely saved my weekend.“

“The meal was delish. Everyone was super nice and wished me a happy birthday. We got to try the main things and here's what I recommend: wagyu meatballs were fantastic (nice acidity, good mix of flavors, cheese complimented the savory aspect), beef Wellington (it melted in my mouth and I dont normally like the taste of mushrooms however I didnt mind it at all), sticky toffee pudding (I'm diabetic and had to remind myself to stop eating after 3 bites - it wasnt too sweet, nor sticky but perfect blend and fulfilling)“

“The food was delicious! Outstanding service as well! Large portions and the desert was exceptional! Would definitely go back!“

“Steve and Cookies is our go-to for special occasions! We just had my husband’s 40th birthday dinner and it was delicious as always with a kind and efficient waitstaff. Will always recommend!“

“Had the flounder sandwich a few days ago. Now I'm craving it. I want to try everything there. So good.“

“I wish there was a 1/2 star rating because I would have given it a 4 1/2 instead of a 5 as the salad bar was a bit sub par and out of certain things. Everything else though (the atmosphere, service and food), were excellent. As usual, I forgot to take pics!((“

“What a pleasant surprise! Thank you, Mary in AC!! Bravo. Very knowledgeable and a joy to have met. The Alaskan King Crab legs were absolutely amazing. So was the Shrimp Cocktail. I was so full when I left. And happy. Well done. 👏“

“My wife and I’s favorite Italian restaurant in the entire country. Closest dish you will get to dining in Italy. 🇮🇹 Food is so authentic ! We go every year for our anniversary. Atmosphere is amazing and staff so accommodating with their table side made dishes. I recommend any of the bone in veal dishes. Make sure you make reservations but once you eat here you will understand why as it’s a one of a kind experience ! Five stars all around !“

“A great little place right on the bay. Whether the place is active and lively or slow and chill you'll be sure to find good food, good drink and good company. My personal favorite is the kielbasa. I like to come here whenever I'm in AC for the League of Municipalities. Payton is a very personable bartender and always has great drink recommendations.“

“Best Soul Food that I’ve ever had. Huge portions We got the steamers as an appetizer, served in a perfect garlicky broth. We had a fun and energetic server, named Ray. I was debating between the fried chicken or the smothered pork chop and he said “well, Popeyes is everywhere, get the Pork chop” The pork chop did not disappoint! Perfectly seasoned, crispy smothered in gravy and onions. For sides, we both got the Collard Greens, I got the yams and my husband got Mac and Cheese. Best Collard Greens ever! It was Mother’s Day weekend so was very busy… but all and all worth the wait and a fantastic experience.“

“Delicious 😋 Crab Cake and Sweet Potato Fries“

“A great place to go at the Jersey shore. The staff and customer service is excellent not to mention the food. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best wonton, egg rolls, general tofu, fried dumplings, etc all of it. It's all so good. Highly recommended. Probably the best food of all the best food in towns, in south Jersey, if not all of Jersey. If you're in the mood for Chinese and need it fast from a friendly person, come here right away!“

“Even though we live close by, this was our first time to Docs. Fabulous dining experience from start to finish. Food and staff were both exceptional. We will definitely be back !“

“Linguini By The Sea is an Italian restaurant located in Ocean Casino Resort on the casino level. They are open Sun - Tue 5PM - 10PM and Fri - Sat 5PM - 11PM. Reservations required.

I started with the calamari fritti, perfectly fried, all rings and no tentacles. It was served with cherry poppers and smoky remoulade that added just the right kick.

For my entree, I went with the chicken parmigiana. Unfortunately, it missed the mark. The chicken was chewy, and the portion size left something to be desired.

My buddy ordered the seared salmon, which comes with spinach, black garlic, lemon, and tomato. I got to try a bit, and it was absolutely delicious.

The service was impeccable. Momchil was friendly and personable while maintaining a high level of professionalism. Hats off to him!“

“Always consistently good food.“

“Food and service was excellent. Look forward to going back again soon. You won’t be disappointed“

“I work at Absecon Family Dental and I had to run to the UPS store to return something and I decided to pick up something for myself and my son. Didn't want to cook, I drove around and spotted Napoli Pizza Grill. I walked in and it smelled amazing. I ordered a Sicilian Margherita Pizza. It was the longest 55 minute drive, especially on an empty stomach. I love this gem of a place, it took me back to my hometown NYC. I love this place, they were welcoming and the place is so clean. I'm going to let my coworkers know about you guys. Again thank you guys for the great Pizza. Customer for life, many blessings to you all“

“We didn't know about their 12-4pm $25 meal deal when we got there at 3:30pm. A bit early for us but our hosts hadn't eaten lunch by the time we arrived at their house at 2pm, so we went for an early dinner.

Two words: Do. It!

It's way more food than I eat at lunch but even going this early for dinner is more than enough to not make you hungry the rest of the night.

You get soup or salad, dinner size entree and dessert with coffee or tea for $25. An amazing deal for the Shore.

I got house salad, honey garlic salmon with red bliss potatoes and vegetable medley, and vanilla ice cream. The salmon was TREMENDOUS - not overly sweet at all, which is what I was concerned about - and everyone else liked what they got too.“

“Good service good food ,nice cold beers“
