Came here just for the lobster roll, you get 2 for $33 so a fair price, pretty much all claw which is not bad either. But the bun is bad, basic hot dog bun, has no business holding lobster meat.

Came here after a day at the beach. This was a perfect way to finish the day.
The place was busy, but service was prompt, cheerful and courteous.
The food was good. The tuna bites were a little over, but not terrible. Everything else was perfect with a good spice level just right.
Definitely try the red sangria. It was a refreshing beverage to compliment the meal.
There is an outdoor terrace with lots of seating and inside tables by the bar with lots of TVs playing sports, but nothing too loud, so you can still have a conversation over dinner.

Off the Hook Restaurant is amazing! The seafood is fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The menu has a great variety of options, and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is casual and inviting—perfect for a night out with family or friends. Highly recommend stopping by for a fantastic meal!

Great place to stop after the beach. Nice selection of cocktails and draft beers.

The food is quite good and the service is usually excellent.

Indoor and outdoor seating with ocean views. We enjoy the crab dip and the lobster salad

Plenty of free parking

The food was amazing! It felt a little cramped but nothing too bad. They did tell us our table was ready and then said nevermind, which was a little frustrating lol, but not a big deal. They were super sweet though.

Honestly didn’t love this place. The food was mediocre. Theres a live band on the weekends and plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. The service is prompt and there’s a view of the ocean. Order the short ribs sandwich. That’s the only thing anyone enjoyed on the menu. The lobster bisque is runny and lacks lobster. The mahi tacos are underwhelming. For the clams you get only 8. The crab dip was a good starter and the bread is warm soft. We won’t be returning.

Traffic was backed up to Sandy Hook, NJ, and I came across The Off The Hook Restaurant and Ocean View Bar. It is located in Highlands, NJ, right at the Atlantic Ocean. I sat at an outside table. The view is beautiful! The food was just incredible! I had the crab claws appetizer and the lobster roll. Both were just delicious! The staff was very friendly and helpful.
