50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Mount Laurel

“Mt Laurel is not a hot bed for… anything… but Monterey Grill is THE silver lining in Mt Laurel. Chef Andrew and his kitchen staff have a group personality matches their menu to a “T”. It’s controlled chaos but the flavor profiles of every dish are enjoyable and it gives guests something different to enjoy every night. The waiting staff are all amazing; welcoming, fun, and professional. They know their menu like pros and they know their wine list equally as well. The regular bar tenders are GREAT and their smokey old fashions are next to none in the area.

Only feedback: Management could do a better job at livening up the atmosphere… there used to be live music all the time and now they only have live music on Fridays. There was recently a change in management, so I suspect that these unwanted changes came from ownership and the new upper management team to save money, but it’s been a big swing and an even bigger miss.

Locals have loved this spot for years. Hopefully ownership come to terms with their mistakes and decide to run it back because Monterey Grill was perfect the way it was for many years.

Don’t let it turn into a “chainy” feeling vibe like Harvest or Red Stone. People like restaurants that are boutique and different. Character is everything in the hospitality business and the staff at Monterey Grill already has that!

Management has a choice to make… hopefully they figure it out. I’ll always support this spot, if for nothing else because the staff deserves the support.“

“Great menu. Excellent service. Thanks“

“We have had the most delicious gourmet pizzas from this place (Buffalo and The Works) Also, their chicken wings with the mild wing sauce is the right amount of tangy and spicy. My husband says, " it's the best wing sauce he's ever had!" Highly recommend!“

“The Wonton Soup was ok – the Hot and Sour Soup was betterThe chicken Lo Mein was really good

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options available on the menu

Parking: Lots of free parking available in a parking lot shared with adjacent businesses and restaurants“

“MY FAVORITE ACTOR THE LATE GREAT "JAMES GANDOLFINI'..AKA TONY SOPRANO.. THE PIZZA PLACE TONY SOPRANOS..WON MY ❤️ WITH THEIR WHITE PIZZA AND DELICIOUS BUTTER GARLIC WINGS.. THE CRUST WAS PERFECT..THE WINGS WERE TENDER AND WELL COOKED.. FRIENDLY COURTEOUS SERVICE.. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A #1 PIZZA PLACE?“

“Wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. Seafood tower the best part of this $300 meal for 3. Their mussels were good, but had better. Their red fish was delicious. Their keylime pie went in the garbage. Our salads came after the meal, Ceasars with bread crumbs no croutons and definitely no anchovy, which i find odd for a seafood place. I dine out quite a bit, this was mediocre at best. Wont be going back. Would consider it if they had a liquor license just for the tower.“

“Must try the octopus 🐙!!!“

“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.“

“Nissi’s is fantastic every time I go! Crabs are meaty and delicious, and the sauces are fantastic!! Nissi is super sweet and friendly! I have ordered crabs cooked and cleaned in her sauce and also just took them home live. Either way, you won’t be disappointed!“

“How on Earth have I missed this place? This was THE BEST Low Country Boil I've EVER HAD!!! I had Lobster🦞 Tail, a 1/2a lb of Shrimp 🍤, 1/2 lb of Clams, 2 pieces of Corn and 3 Red Potatoes for $35 bucks! They brought it out in a giant steamer ballooned bag with a bucket and gloves and a bib. It was steamed in garlic butter and old bay (they have other seasonings too) and EVERYTHING was tender, perfectly cooked and seasoned. This will be my new favorite spot. I'm so happy it's in Lumberton and I can give them all my money 💰 💰 💰!!!“

“Celebrated my son’s 21st Birthday here with about 30 of his friends and family. We had a big section of the deck to ourselves. They had plenty of different options to fit our needs. We had a great time, everyone raved how good the food was and our server kept the drinks coming! It was a perfect way to celebrate!“

“No words!! My mouth is full!“

“As much as it cost for blue claw crabs cleaned, not 100 % butter, and garlic you think the packaging would be better, lately they packaged a brown paper bag no plastic bag over the brown bag in presenting to you with leakage of butter at the bottom of bag which your car will smell like garlic with dripped butter. Appearance is the professional way for a good business, and Norman take criticism for improvement.“

“My wife and I had lunch there last week our first time. The food and service were amazing we will definitely be back again!! Highly recommend its BYOB nice atmosphere.“

“Food was very good waiter was very friendly“

“delicious food with a beautiful view. I had the Halibut last night and it was amazing!!!“

“Our pick-up order included the BLT Salad, which is a new menu item. It was exactly the best of what you would expect - crisp lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and perfectly-cooked bacon strips cut into nicely-sized short sections (so much better than the bacon bits I feared I'd get). I had it with the ranch dressing, and it was just perfection. Highly recommend - don't miss out on this! Also super-friendly, cordial service team - A+“

“Consistently great food! Seafood bake is delicious. Crabs are always fresh! All orders I’ve made have been timely and on point. Definitely recommend!“

“In Love with this place. As far as I’m concerned, NUMBER 1 in the USA!“

“Our waitress, Amanda was exceptional. Our wait was short, the food was dynamite from the bread basket and dip to the appetizer, Soup, salad and our entrées.“

“My husband and I had a wonderful date night. They had a specialty menu, and we ordered the burrata to share for and appetizer. Everyrhing on the menu is made from scratch and you can taste the freshness of everything in a dish. I enjoyed the chicken marsala. And the desserts are also homemade and change. I got the cannoli and my husband got the tiramisu, you could taste the wine that was put into the cream and it was delicious. The only thing about the atmosphere is a little bit of echoing from the layout of the restaurant which made it a little hard to hear our waiter at times.“

“I can’t say enough about how great this place is! Best seafood. I love their crab cakes. They never disappoint! The owners make you smile every time I’m there. Great, fun people. I have used them many times and will continue!“

“I finally get to try this place out. I personally love seafood boil. Just like other seafood boil, Crafty Crab serves fresh meaty seafood. My friends and I ordered clam chowder, a truffle fries, calamari, crab cakes , breadsticks, and a seafood platter with ramen.

The clam chowder was creamy. Not sure if it’s cause we each tried some to see if we like it, but I didn’t even taste any clam in the soup! The truffle fries were very crispy, definitely can tell it’s freshly made. Breadsticks and crab cakes, on the other hand, were slightly overcooked. They are no golden brown but darker brown color to me. Maybe that’s the way they cook and serve them. As for the main dish, the seafood patter with ramen, it was not bad. I normally order butter or max two flavors, but this time, the group wants to try triple flavors. It wasn’t bad but slightly salty, which is predictable, but definitely flavorful. This is the first time i add ramen to my seafood boil. It was delicious. The ramen soaked up all the sauce and flavors. Well worth trying.

Our waitress was very friendly and filled with smiles. Great service!

The restaurant itself was pretty big with many tables and, I believe, two party rooms. Great for special occasions and celebrations. They have a big parking lot so parking shouldn’t be too much of a problem.“

“Just ate there for the first time with my girlfriend for her birthday definitely will be back I have to say best steak/food I ever had at a fancy restaurant by far Kyle was super nice too great waiter 🤟🏻🤟🏻“

“TL;DR: Easily one of my favorite restaurants to eat at. The food here always hits and their portion sizes are out of this world. You absolutely should make this one of your go to spots!
(I'm not even a local and I still come here a lot!)

Whenever I'm in the area, this is the place I go to. There hasn't been a single item on the menu that I didn't like. But if I had to pick just one, it would have to be the Cumin lamb. If I didn't convince you to give this place a try already, then let that lamb speak for itself. It's honestly one of the main reasons I keep coming back here. Tender, flavorful, and brings comfort to your soul. There are few places that can serve you up a good lamb dish, and Chef Zhang is one of the rare few. I honestly don't understand how they are so consistent with their food too, but it's exactly why I find myself getting food from them over and over again.

If you haven't tried this place, you absolutely should! And if you have and read my review, you should share your own experience too. Cause certain you'll love it just as much as I do!“

“Carolynn’s kitchen has been catering for our events at LIJ Valley Stream hospital for 2 years now and her food service and customer service has been nothing short of extraordinary. I highly recommend this catering business for your events. I know we will continue working with her for many events to come.“

“My wife brought a box home from El Mariachi for Valentine’s Day, nothing says love like tacos. Well, I fell in love with the birria tacos. In the last 6 weeks, we have ordered from here every Saturday. The birria, al pastor, and chicken tacos are delicious and full of flavor. The rice is perfectly made, and they have the Coca Cola in the bottle, made with cane sugar. Definitely a place you need to come and try!“
