50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Keansburg

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome terrific food no doubt 100pct. People like Soria are the best in the business..but but but Jesus Mary&Joseph omg when u call there and whoever might pickup the phone all you hear is an enormous background noise like I'm in Las Vegas. That must stop. Not at all professional not in the least. Move the woman who answers the phone to a separate non loud room. Not close to acceptable. I couldn't hear myself placing my order“

“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.“

“always fresh seafood feels like a good home cooked meal“

“Food was delicious and service was great.“

“Great food with consistent outcomes with every visit. We eat in the restaurant which is never crowded. I would like to see more people come in. Today our new favorite was the whole Pomfret fish. I didn't get a picture but did of our earlier choices. Itsxs great sharing time experience with your own favorite wine.“

“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.“

“Came here twice so far both times was amazing. Service was great food was great. Nice atmosphere decor is great it’s a great hidden gem.“

“good food. I like the outdoor dinning. drinks we good as well. will be back“

“Service was excellent, and the menu and specials were plenty. The ambiance was nice, noise moderate, but a slower night. The table settings were very classy, only issue I had was that it was so beautiful set, but received the bread dip oil, which was delish came in a plastic cup? The app was mussels in a garlic wine sauce, very meaty and tasty. The meal was very good, had the Grilled Jumbo shrimp, with traditional chips. Should have requested the saffron rice side, which I do like. The vegetables were slightly overcooked, but tasty. The creamy cheesecake was outstanding! The Pinot Noir average but nice. Overall, I'd definitely recommend.“

“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!“

“Thought this was an American diner don’t know why but glad I came in. The smell had me at the front door. So I had the Mangu con los 3 golpes, which is fried salami fried,cheese, and eggs with smashed plantain . All delicious. The coffee had a home feel to it and the beef and steak empanadas to accompany it were good. Definitely coming back to taste all the other dishes here.“
