“For Valentine's Day weekend, my wife and I dined at the historical and exquisite Knife & Fork Inn on Friday, 2.13.26, since the 14th was totally booked. It was her first time there and mine since childhood. The menu was so extensive that it made it a bit of a welcoming challenge to focus on a particular choice. For starters, our huge portion of the Corn & Crab Chowder was the best that we have ever had and the Artisanal Cheese Plate was delectably wide-ranging. My wife loved the Halibut and my Bone-In Pork Chop was superb. Our cordial and diligent waiter, Carmen, who took service to the next level, suggested the Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert and we were very glad that he did as it was perfectly sized to share! Before we arrived, I mentioned to my wife that this would be a top dining experience and it was more than that with the historical ambiance, service and the spectacular menu options. We will definitely be back to try some more of their varied cuisine!“

“Always excellent! Seafood at its best. Service is tops.“

“Betty’s Seafood Shack has the BEST lobster roll, shrimp & scallops in all of NJ! Seriously, the BEST🦞🍤“

“This place is the best. Fresh Fresh Fresh! Great selection, great prices. Love it.“

“We ordered the 3 course meal. Beef wellington, lobster risotto and dessert. Our daughter ordered the mac and cheese. The risotto was amazing as well as the dessert and the mac and cheese. Only complaint was the wellington was room temp/cold when we received it. That may be how it is supposed to be served, we aren't sure as it was our first time trying it. The meat was cooked perfectly and the outside crust was so good. Our 9 year old did say the mashed potatoes needed to be seasoned as well. Overall, great experience.“

“Awesome Dinner as usual and great service…“

“We had a fish platter from Bobs Seafood today and honestly cannot believe we waited this long to try it! We’ve been coming here every summer for crabs, which are always amazing, but today’s platter absolutely blew us away. The fish sandwich, fries, and onion rings were all delicious — fresh, perfectly cooked, and generous portions too.

What really keeps us coming back though is the customer service. Every single guy there is always so kind, welcoming, and genuinely sweet. You can tell they appreciate their customers and take pride in what they do.

If you haven’t tried the platters yet, do yourself a favor and go! Bobs Seafood Northfield continues to be one of our favorite spots year after year.“

“Great atmosphere. We were seated by a window which allowed bay views. Drinks, apps, then dinner. Trust me you will be impressed. Our server was pleasant and efficient. I had snapper and it was delicious. We split a dessert of cheesecake. You need reservations, and in the off season they still draw a crowd. Plenty of off street parking. Enjoy.“

“The same laid back atmosphere, everything we’ve ordered for years always comes to the table exactly the same! You cant miss with platter seafood or soul food dish . Try the wings and the corn on the cob. We travel from philly to A.C just for platters always worth the trip.“

“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.“

“Whole wheat pancakes are so good!“

“Absolutely Delicious! Lobster tail cooked perfect Ribeye perfectly cooked Sophia gave us excellent service We will be back ! Thank you“

“Dined at Sugar Hill by the water last night for the first time. Service and food was excellent, ambiance was nice. I thought it would be nice if they had little lights at the tables and maybe a fire pit. Sugar Hill is like the Hamptons, from the stately inn to the valet parking definitely will return.“

“I have to start with our server Cory! We could not have asked for better service! Very attentive, very helpful and just a very kind all around friendly guy! He was awesome!!
Had the lobster roll sandwich, which was outstanding and a lobster bisque, which was also delicious!
We had the homemade cheesecake for dessert and it was probably the best cheesecake I’ve ever eaten!
All around it was a perfect birthday lunch!“

“Went with Friends for a Late Lunch @ Gregory’s Restaurant Yesterday 12/12….Our Meals were Fantastic….Great Job Chef Ryan ‼️‼️“

“Been coming here for years when restaurant was Laguna Grill. Hamburgers/would be a great addition to your lunch menu as well as crabcake sandwiches. I've been there for dinner and the menu was good. Something simpler for lunch would be great. The wait staff are friendly and efficient. The bands are a plus to having a meal on the beach.“

“Fantastic food, with excellent service.“

“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. 👏“

“We went over LDW 2025, totally unplanned, and it was only our 2nd time there. We sat at the little bar on the small porch. My husband and I had the absolute best time! What started out as having a couple of drinks ended with many more and a great, upbeat afternoon! Katie was bartending and she was OUTSTANDING! That young lady was ebb and flowing and never skipped a beat and she never stopped being busy while we were there. Drinks were flowing, music was so fun, Katie handled it all like an absolute gem and the food was totally outstanding - absolutely recommend the jerk chicken wings! Can’t wait to get back there again and enjoy the salty vibes and atmosphere!“

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