“You have to try the ranch fries they come with potato wedges but no get them with regular fries. To much potato with the wedges and takes the other flavors away with just potato. Food is amazing especially the scallops wrapped in bacon, and the seafood bisque. Been coming here for years and will continue with many more years.“

“I recently visited this location for lunch, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh and flavorful. What really stood out, though, was the service. My server, Tara, was incredibly personable and attentive. She made sure everything was just right and added such a friendly, welcoming vibe to the meal. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon. Highly recommend!“

“I have to give it to this place, it does not look like much sitting inside Fantasy Island Amusement Park in Beach Haven LBI, however with the expanded seating area and some pretty cool menu items like ribbon chips drizzled with bacon and sour cream and cheese and pulled pork sliders, it really hits the spot! I was pleasantly surprised how good it was and how clean the seating area is as well. Staff is really friendly as well. Make it a point to grab something to eat here while visiting!“

“I was in my way to my son's football game and have about an hour to kill. I looked around and found this place.
The place was crowded with people eating and the food looked delicious. Too bad I didn't have time to grab a bite to eat. Beer was cold and service was very friendly. Would recommend if you're near the town.“

“Love this place, but was very disappointed in the happy hour oysters on 7/9/25….. very small….. other than that, everything else was great“

“I celebrated my birthday with my sisters at The Gables last night. It is clear that this restaurant knows that a dining experience is more than just about the great food. The ambiance and charm of the restaurant with its meticulous attention to detail translates to understated elegance. Their staff—my experience felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant and they had nothing else to do but take care of us! Our server, Cathy, was so warm and unshakable on a rather busy evening. The room managers strolled throughout the room making sure that every person was seen and noticed. It’s the nicest place I’ve ever dined. Thank you for a truly lovely evening!“

“We attended a small 50th Birthday party at Fred and Ethels with 12 in our party. We were told there was a 45 min wait. We were seated in about 20 min. The server was excellent. The food, especially the Bang Shrimp Tacos were Banging! It's a little far from me but I'd go there every week if I could. Can't wait for my next meal there. I'd definitely recommend Fred and Ethels. Parking can be found even on the weekends.“

“Went for dinner. Food was very good. Pretty quick service. Out of season. Was a bit cold inside even though it was in the 60s outside and the front door was opened. The acoustics are bad. Kids screeching resonate through your ears and down your spine.
My dish was meant to have asparagus risotto, but it was white rice. 😣 Service was excellent.“

“I’ve been dying to try this place since seeing it featured on Triple D and it did not disappoint. Great atmosphere and the food was off the charts. Definitely try the snapper turtle soup. I also had the chipotle shrimp salad sandwich which is a home run.“

However, just recently we went to the chegg out in marlton and we had such a great meal that we decided to give the one on the island another shot. So glad we did. We had the best swings that we probably ever had in our life and everything else was really enjoyable. Would definitely take the time to head out there again“

“Had a wonderful retirement party there on 06/07. Everything was perfect. From the table settings to the personalized menu. The servers were excellent and the food was outstanding and got rave reviews from our guests and family. Calloways has always been a favorite of mine and now has many more. Thank you to the owner and all your amazing staff. And I think you have a few more converts to your Paul Bunyan Bloody Mary’s. They were yummy.“

Definitely would go there again..“

“You've got to enjoy Thursday at Allen's Clam Bar. A 12-ounce broiled or fried lobster tail and 2 sides for $29.99 is just as amazing as Chef Craig's other creations. Great food, great service, and a fun time at Allen's will make your day.“

“Best wings I've ever had. Make sure to get them 'back on the grill'! Only real complaint is that this place is too small to accommodate all the people that want to frequent it.. but how can I hold Doyle's popularity against it?“

“The best decision we have ever made was to have Joe and his staff at Touch of Elegance cater our wedding! Joe was totally hands on from day 1. Our tasting was a phenomenal experience! Joe answered every one of our questions and even gave us information we didn’t even think to ask. When the wedding got closer he was so amazing with working with me to help me chose everything for our wedding. And the food- AMAZING! It was so amazing that we used him for our wedding and rehearsal dinner. I cannot say enough about our experience with Touch of Elegance, Joe, and the rest of his staff. We had the wedding of our dreams because of him and the Brant Beach Yacht Club! Our guests can’t stop talking about the food! And the amount of food we were sent home with?? Insane! Thank you Joe for EVERYTHING!“

“Had the best experience tonight at dinner!! The food was great and being on the water never better. Our server Izzy made our night so positive and fun!! She was sweet and attentive and having a great server really makes the night special!!“

“My wife said she though the California wrap was delicious. She has never said that before about take out food. My chicken tacos and the kids food, pizza and a hamburger was great. I thought it was a bit expensive, but not worried about that if they keep the quality as it was. Everyone ate everything. Fresh and not greasy. Good job.“

“Just a seriously good meal in a very friendly and comfortable spot. The chowder is not to be missed and my usually very picky 4 year old (seriously, sometimes he rejects pizza) absolutely loved the chicken finger kids platter.

We will absolutely be back!“

“Food is really good! We are local and love this hidden treasure.“

“Food was great!! Service was excellent!! We will be back! Thank you“
