50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Belford

“I used to go there as a kid. My grandfather, Dave Thorson was a founding member from what I was told. He managed a fish meal factory there in the 60s. I still remember the smell. lol“

“Ur chicken and ribs and coleslaw and salads is good but the mac and cheese bites are not good u overpower them with bread“

“We tried Hook & Reel for the first time and enjoyed it so much, we went back 2 days later. The food was well prepared, delicious, and served hot. Yummy lobster bisque, I ordered a 2nd bowl after finishing the first! Fried calamari was yummy as well. The raw oysters were perfect and the boil with Hook & Reel's own Cajun sauce was outstanding. Our server, Moe, was friendly and very efficient; he makes your dining experience error-free so you can relax and enjoy the meal. The Manager here gets credit for a well-run ship! He really appreciates the customers and it shows. You will definitely want to eat here frequently. Great service, tasty food, relaxed atmosphere - you won't be disappointed.“

“Amazing food, view and atmosphere! Darrel and his team are top notch. Highly recommend lunch, dinner or happy hour at this spot!“

“Most amazing views you could ask for on the water. \nWatch the boats come in and the ferry go out. \n\nThe sangria comes by the picture and is exceptionally good. \nThe service was very good and bar scene was vibrant. \nThe food is very good too. \nYou go here for the view and get good eats to top it off!“

“I have been eating here for a few years now and the food and service are always fantastic. Today I ordered for delivery for the first time and I couldn’t be happier with my order. Some places definitely give you less food when you have your food delivered but Cole’s sends the same huge portions you get when dining in and it is just as delicious. If you haven’t been yet you are missing out.“

“Food was delicious and service was great.“

“Always a Good time and Great food Epic scenery“

“Kudos go out to the Marina Cafe for doing Thanksgiving up right! No wonder the restaurant was packed today. A wide variety of plates to choose from today, making it hard to decide. We went with the Turkey Dinner and it was perfect. What a tender bird, roasted perfectly. The tiramisu at the end was the cherry on the cake. Best I ever had! I know sometimes it's hit or miss when you go out to eat on a holiday! Not the case at the Marina Cafe! And of course, the view can't be beat! ? — at Marina Cafe.“

“First time here and great experience! Outdoor dining only. Food is unbelievably fresh and tasty! The porta potties are upgraded bathrooms and surprisingly clean. Off street parking but not bad. Outdoor patio is going to be extended over the dunes for 2025. Can't wait to go back next summer!“

“Went during the week and place was not too busy. Parking available in nearby waterside lot. Waitress was friendly and attentive, menu food and drinks with lots of options. Service was quick and portions generous. Mahi Tacos with fries was delicious.“

“For some reason I was in the mood for lobster and I never am in the mood for lobster. I ordered the classic lobster roll for $22. I am always astounded about the cost of lobster rolls. Not sure how they stay in business. This was good. Toasted bun and lobster was fresh. Small portion but thats always the case with a lobster roll. Got my fix and would come back. 3.5 stars but rounding up.“

“We just had a bridal shower here and everything was wonderful! The food was delicious! The staff were so accommodating! Highly recommend! Five stars!“

“I was here when they first opened. it was not really "for me". Recently tried it again and loved it. I am vegetarian and my friend is vegan. we found options. Really enjoyed the eggplant sandwich. Would love more options (saw on one of the burger challenges a portobello on a burger, so loose the beef and just do the portobello) then I would definitely be there more often. Plan to check out the events that they have in the winter. So nice to have a quality and nice place locally to go out to at night.“

I just had my daughter’s baptism lunch at Fresh and along with every single guest we had I could not be more happy with the food, service,hospitality and accommodations! The food was delicious! So fresh and made with passion. The chef knows what he’s doing. The 2 men that hosted for us were beyond professional, patient and friendly to us and our guests. Every step of the way from planning to finish they were amazing! After we got home I had so many people reaching out to me about how good this place is and how they will definitely be returning for dinner in the near future. Thank you all so much for helping make this day stress free and most importantly SPECIAL!“

“I had a great experience at The Squire at Branches in West Long Branch. My food was absolutely delicious and came out quickly, exactly when I expected it, which made the whole visit even better. The service was outstanding, and both managers, Stacy and Faye, were amazing—friendly, attentive, and clearly dedicated to making sure guests are happy. Everything from the atmosphere to the quality of the food made this a place I’ll definitely be coming back to and recommending to others.“

“Absolutely outstanding!! Great atmosphere, great service, and fantastic food from appetizers to entrees to desserts! Have been to the original in Brooklyn many times over the years but this was our first time at Gargiulo’s in Tinton Falls and it did not disappoint. Spoke to Theresa at the end of the night and she was very welcoming and sweet. We will DEFINITELY be back! Not one negative thing to say about the entire experience.“

“I know Italian food. I asked AI what was the highest rated Italian restaurant in Long Branch. It gave me Rockafellers.
I knew the moment I tasted the sauce that came with the delicious Calzone that everything was going to be great. It was fresh and delicious.
The pizza was a home run. If I had to guess the pasta is going to be great too.
We'll find out later tonight!
Thank you!
Everything was great from the delivery to the food!“

“My wife and I went to Christines last night, on recommendations from many, to celebrate her birthday. Wow. Met at the door by the owner, Ron. Big personality that was both genuine and welcoming. He and the staff made my wife feel extra special! The food was what I was expecting, given all the reviews from friends, authentic and delicious! Everything from the appetizers, main courses, desert....exceptional. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!“

“Ordered grubhub from here last night, food was magnificent! I even called ahead of time and asked for 2 sides of chutney sauce and they were nice enough to include it in my order. Food was amazing, I got the butter paneer with a side of garlic naan! Next I want to try their masala sauce. Everything was delicious truly a hidden gem on SI!! (I ate most of it in the pic I added lol I couldn’t wait)“

“Dinner was great. First timers. We had shrimp in garlic appetizer, combo with 1/2 chicken and ribs-pork, rice and fries. And 1/2 chicken with rice and veggies. Everything was of good quality and very delicious. We’d order from you guys again. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!“
