“Best seafood restaurant in New Jersey“

“I had snapper soup there. It was an 11 out of a possible 10. My wife had New England clam chowder it is (her score system) a 10 out of 10. Best ever. Unfortunately, they do not currently have snapper soup. Missing the old Bookbinder too. Signed, Old Philadelphia natives.“

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!“

“The Food was Fresh ad Incredible“

“First off the hospitality is top. You feel like you are at a friends home. The spicy passion fruit cocktail is killer. The crab noodle, hoe cake, beef skewer & the crudo transport you . Shout out to Demetri our server & the green jasmine Thai iced tea 🤤🔥“

“My first time here at Eddie V’s, I went to celebrate my Birthday and they really rolled out the red carpet! Everyone made my birthday so special starting with the bartender Hannah who is so sweet and made the best strawberry mango martini. Our waiter Michael was the absolute best! I was greeted at the table with a handmade birthday card done by the Hostess! The food was fantastic, even the managers came over to wish me a happy birthday! It was truly the best dinner experience I ever had! Kudos to everyone at Eddie V’s in Cherry Hill“

This place is it 😍😍😍 I took many photos last night of the food, the atmosphere felt as though I was not in Philadelphia, but far away on a perfect vacation dining at an amazing restaurant.

“Just got back from Kunkel’s for a double wedding anniversary celebration of ours and our son’s. It was a very enjoyable evening with excellent food and excellent service. Our two granddaughters came with us, and they instantly settled comfortably, thanks for the personal care tended by Denise, our server. We love this place for its unhurried atmosphere and for its timeless Americana ambience.“

“Always fresh seafood and definitely tasty!💯👌🏾“

“True hospitality! I arrived last night after evacuating from Florida. Kenja and the executive chef brought me to tears because of the hospitality, warmth and concern for me and the people of Florida. 🫶🏼. This is what a high end restaurant is supposed to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.“

“The best seafood ever, I’ve never had a bad meal honestly, my husband and I love it, this was always a great place to go for a nice quiet dinner, so disappointed that they did away with their indoor dining, their service was so good and so was their wait staff they were the best.“

“I really enjoyed the service and the seafood was excellent.“

“Waitress was very knowledgeable about the cuisine. Other staff were friendly and courteous. Food was excellent, tastes wonderful and plated beautifully. The interior might remind you of an old time elegant railroad car with curved ceiling, crystal chandeliers, etc. great place for special occasions.“

“Excellent Happy Hour!!! Will definitely dine here again!!“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“Good food. Good customer service.“

“Had an awesome night at Oltremare. The interior is seriously beautiful, one of those places where you walk in and immediately feel like you picked the right spot.
We grabbed seats at the bar and got taken care of by G, who made us feel like old friends from the second we sat down. Super attentive, great energy, and knew exactly how to guide us through the menu without it ever feeling forced.
We originally came in just for happy hour… and ended up staying for a full dinner. That alone should tell you everything. The food, the drinks, the vibe, all hit. Easily one of those spots you plan to come back to before you even leave.“

“the seafood was good a Lil to pricey but the food was good as I said. but I'll be back because DJ True Witt was on fire 🔥 and just what we needed. He engaged, sing, and DJ. Looking forward to another night of good food, DJ True music.“

“it was the best I will be back l love this place“

“1)wonderful food and a goodly portion.2) BYOB 3)Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Hits the Restaurant Trifecta!!!“

“Cannot recommend this place enough!!! Absolutely outstanding food & quality. I’m a huge fan of Po Boy sandwiches and had been struggling to find any in the area, found Crab De Jour Pennsauken on Door Dash & saw they had them.

Decided to give them a shot, got the cat fish one & the flounder one, I had always wanted to try catfish so I figured this was a good time to do it.

Both sandwiches were perfect, like actually perfect. The catfish one was easily my favorite of the two & now am a big fan of catfish. Flounder was solid , will be trying the shrimp one & oyster one next!

Their Cocktail sauce was delicious and had a great texture, the fries ( I got both Cajun & sweet potato ) were borderline addicting , perfectly cooked & seasoning was top tier.

Overall I have nothing but great things to say about this place, I’ve ordered 3 days in a row this week. Service & Food was outstanding , I’ve only had them via delivery but I can tell you this location and staff are amazing & they earned a lifelong customer with me.

5 stars across the board , if you’re on the fence of trying them or looking for great food at a very good value I hope this review convinces you to give them a shot.

Shout out to the staff & the manager !“

“Everything was so good. No fishy or stale flavors. Staff were very friendly and very informative on all the different types of sushi. Will be coming back. The A5 Wagu Uni hand roll was amazing!“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“I have been going there for years in the food is always very good....“

“Simply the best. The food is always fresh great service. Always our Christmas Eve dinner , love these folks.“

“Awesome that’s all I can say.“

“Shout out to Jean D our waiter for the good service! My daughters and I went on our Girls Day Christmas shopping trip and always stop at the Deptford restaurant when we are done. He gave us just the right amount of attention and was very pleasant. Sometimes we feel either rushed or ignored but he made sure we were taken care at our pace. It was a great experience.“

“Do not judge the elevator entrance, this restaurant is my favorite hidden in the open gem. Their broth is deep with flavor and aroma. Lots of options to add into your HotPot. Big tables, lovely atmosphere, a never miss when we visit Philly.“

“It's your average Hood Deli. Breaded chicken wings are to die for. No thrills, but always FRESH. Mother and Father own and run the business. Both can be a little brash but overall it's a good place to get a quick bite that isn't expensive. Never ever have to worry about the food not being fresh either.“

“I stopped by 16th Street Seafood in Philadelphia and it turned out to be a great spot for simple, satisfying seafood. The place is small and casual, but the food comes out fresh and full of flavor. I ordered a fried fish and shrimp combo, and everything was crispy on the outside while still tender inside.

The portions were generous for the price, and the seasoning had that classic Philly takeout style that locals love. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, which makes it a convenient stop if you're craving seafood without the wait of a sit-down restaurant.

Overall, 16th Street Seafood is a solid neighborhood spot for affordable, no-frills seafood that hits the spot. Great for a quick lunch or takeout when you’re in the area.“

“Good food! Friendly staff .“

“Our second visit to Village Deli was as good as the first time. I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and my wife gad the chicken salad sandwich. Both were very good. The atmosphere of the place is pleasant and the counter people were very friendly and efficient. We recommend Village Deli and will definitely return.“

“Great experience all you can eat“

“S & J Seafood is a delightful seafood haven tucked away in the vibrant heart of Philadelphia. This unassuming gem has become a local favorite. Picture this: crispy chicken wings, succulent jumbo shrimp, and mouthwatering seafood platters that transport you straight to the coast. The staff at S & J Seafood is like family—they know your name, your order, and they greet you with a smile. And let’s talk about value: generous portions of good-tasting food that won’t break the bank. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or indulging in a seafood feast, S & J Seafood is where flavor meets community.“

“We were there yesterday (Friday 28th)….,,, game day of course it was busy that’s expected .,,. Put our name on the list for a seat weighted and watch the game of course for three hours to find out our name was taken off the list somehow….. we are not a complaining type. I understand it’s game day things happen. It gets crazy completely understandable. Still had a fun time watching the game. !!!!! …….. but I like shout out a big thank you to Mike one of the managers there forgetting us a table and being so kind to us….. Thank you again from your Scranton Pa peeps!!!!“

“Came in close to closing time and I genuinely felt bad about it, but the staff was so gracious and got our orders in super fast. The inside is small, maybe 20 to 25 people max. We ordered a salad to share and five special rolls. The fish was super fresh and really plentiful in each roll, and everything was filling and delicious. Vegetarian options are available too which is always a plus. Huge thank you to the workers who took care of us and stayed a little past closing. Will definitely be back and plan to BYOB next time. Highly recommend!!“

“We held an 80th birthday party at Verona. The service was top notch and owners beyond accommodating. The guests said they want to come back! The clams casino is my favorite. The outdoor seating is great.“

“I pleasantly surprised to see a Black family greet me with a nice smile and great service abilities. I had heard of the place by my hair dresser the day before she said the food was delicious and fresh. I ordered last Saturday it was delicious. So I went back today and tried that seafood salad, jumbo shrimp and crab cakes. That seafood salad wow was delicious.“
