50 Best Seafood Restaurants near New Brunswick

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“We had dinner on a Sunday night and the food was great but the service was subpar. Bread took forever to come to our table, we had to ask for water multiple times before we got more, and there were multiple staff available but were not super attentive. Staff were mostly focused on taking food away that we had just finished and then wiping the table with a Lysol wipe, which I thought was overkill. My mussels, clam chowder, and bread pudding were all delicious and we have been here before on a busy Saturday night and received great service so chalking it up to that!“

“All of the food but especially the seafood was so fresh and delicious. The owner told me he personally gets the seafood fresh each morning before sunrise. The presentation of the family style seafood feast was fantastic. We had octopus, shrimp, clams, mussels and so much more. The fruit drinks were made to order and they were fun and tasty - pineapple was a real favorite. It’s a great place for takeout and party platters too.

Kid-friendliness: My kids loved watching them make the fresh fruit drinks (coring pineapple, watermelon, etc.)

Parking: There are about six parking spaces along side of the building.“

“Vegetarian options: My search for 'Kunefe' that would taste authentic just like the one I had in Türkiye years ago has finally concluded; it was so good that I am forced to put out this statement - "This is the best Kunefe I have even had in the US of A!" For main course I had vegetable casserole.“

“Wonderful spot to get spicy fish! It was so tasty! Their service was impeccable, everyone was friendly and replaced our plates when it was getting full. Loved the drinks they had to wash down the spice. This place has become one of my new favorite restaurants in the area!“

“Our server was Shanice, she was absolutely Amazing! She was very helpful with suggestions on the specials menu.

The crab topped fries were the best I’ve had in my life and I LOVE fries from all over these were impeccable.
Meal I ordered the jumbo lobster stuffed shrimp with garlic mash and spinach. I asked for the secret menu because I’ve always loved Bonefish’s spinach. Shanice accommodated that request without hesitation.

The sangria she recommended was the blackberry which unfortunately I did not care for it so, ended up with the white mango which was great.
The blackberry tasted like watered down cranberry juice unfortunately.

Overall I give the food a 10/10 and Shanice’s service a 15/10! She was knowledgeable and pleasant. More servers should be like her.“

“If you like Red lobster’s endless shrimp, this place is great with unlimited shrimp for $25 per person, but only on Monday. Shrimp tastes not too bad with 6 different dishes, including spaghetti, fried rice, coconut shrimp, shrimp tempura, sweet sour shrimp and garlic shrimp with vermicelli. You can always find one you like, I recommend coconut shrimp, sweet sour shrimp and garlic shrimp with vermicelli.

For fish, sour fish soup is their signature with different varieties of fish you can choose. A lot of vegetables in the fish soup including tofu skin, pickled cabbage, lettuce root, cucumber and enoki mushrooms. Taste not the best, but not too bad as well.

I highly recommend their desserts including red bean moon cake and sweet lotus stuffed with sticky rice, very delicious and must try!“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“Fujiya Pickled Fish is an impressive restaurant located in New Jersey. Their pickled fish fish features fresh fish meat and rich pickled cabbage soup, which is delicious and unforgettable. The environment of the restaurant is comfortable and pleasant, and the service attitude is warm and thoughtful. Whether it is a family dinner or a gathering of friends, it is an ideal choice. Recommend their other dishes as well. Overall, Fujiya Pickled Fish is a high-quality Chinese restaurant worth visiting and you will definitely not be disappointed.“

“excellent service, they are very friendly and the food without a doubt, recommended.“

“Great place to have delicious food at good prices . The waitstaff was sooo friendly“

“I had dinner with my friends at the Bonefish Grill tonight. The food and service was excellent. We were greeted with a smile at the door by the manager, Peter. All of the staff was extremely pleasant. Ellen our server was the best. She would constantly check to make sure everything was okay. The manager, Peter even visited our table. All of our dishes were delicious.“

“I ordered the pork tripe with chicken soup for 2 people, it came with lot of chicken and noodles. It’s a very big portion. The soup with the pepper corn tasted fantastic, it made my stomach feel warm. Definitely will be back when I go to NJ .“

“En una reunión amena en familia.“

“Amazing! We had a WONDERFUL experience. Food was excellent, service was EXCEPTIONAL, ambience was great! I think we found our new "place!" Our server, Elizabeth (Liz) was AMAZING! LOVED her! She was on point with everything and also adorable! She definitely contributed to why we will return and have this Seasons 52 our new meeting spot.“

“We had lunch on Saturday afternoon. I would rate the food as pretty good, and better than Red Lobster which is right across Rt. 18. However the presentation of the food leaves a good deal to be desired. They serve on paper strays with plastic spoons. Paper would be fine if it was of a higher / thicker quality. The plastic utensils would also be fine if they weren’t of the kiddie party variety. The We had soft shelled crab, fried shrimp and catfish with boiled Cajun pototes and French fries. All of the food was good, neither over cooked not undercooked. The soft shell carb was pretty good. What was annoying was that the (soupy) boiled potato(s) side dish was served in a Saran Wrap baggie tied in a knot and put in the same paper tray with the fried soft shell crab. It was hard to tear it open without spilling the contents all over the table. However the side dish potatoes were good. The problem was the plating. The French fries were also good, neither overcooked nor undercooked and tender. While the food is good you and the restaurant is decently decorated, you get the impression that they have a very very tight budget for necessities as in utensils, plates and trays. Nevertheless we will eat there again or have their food delivered. They do not have a delivery service so you must use Uber or Doordash.“

“Long time patrons but Blue Water has gone downhill over the last several years as far as seafood choices and food taste. Seafood Fra Diavolo ordered medium was tasteless and calamari were the Shop n Stop frozen rings. Key Lime pie slice the size for a mouse maybe and tasteless, no presentation like back in the day. Another “ former “ old time patron sitting next to us was furious as his swordfish was maybe 1/4” thick. We both agreed never to visit Blue Water again. We both remembered when it was the best ! My spouse and I were customers when the place would be packed now 4 tables only at 6:30pm ( guessing others feel the same) and long gone is the special menu had lobster cakes, halibut, monk fish , red snapper etc. Sadly and honestly not even better than a pizza restaurant but 3x the price. Bye Blue Water Seafood .“

“Feel good, eat great and overall best experience.“

“If this place a a few tables inside or even outside so you can eat your food fresh, 5 stars overall all day. I ate in my car to avoid the battered fish and fries getting soggy due to the steam being trapped in the containers the food is in. On to the food… since this place is very affordable, I ordered a 3 piece of catfish, 3 piece whiting, 3 piece tilapia and 6 piece wings with fries. Everything came out fresh. No fishy smells or foul taste. Very well seasoned and you can add a little shake of lemon pepper spice mix they have on the counter. Tater sauce is really good also. Not that it needs it, but taking a piece of fish dipping it in hot sauce letting the batter absorb it and then taking it for a swim in tartar before taking that bite of delight that will definitely have you going in for another. Their wings fall right off the bone leaving you with that crispy crunchy coating surrounding juicy chicken meat that also does not need anything else, but dipping that in hot sauce bringing your tastebuds to the next level.

Parking: I went around 1:30 on a Friday so not sure if it is easy to find parking during busy times.“

“Great friendly atmosphere and great fresh food“

“The soups at Nai Brother are amazing! If you like pickled flavors, this is the dish for you. So far, we've tried the house signature and the sour pickled pepper with flounder. I highly recommend them, and we plan on going back to try more flavors. What I like best is that this dish is large enough to share.“

“This place has the best fried chicken and platters in all of North America. I came all the way from Toronto, Ontario Canada to visit New York City. One thing about Canada compared to the states is the quality of food. Everything that I have had in the states is not good quality, but this place has proved me wrong. I ordered the family fried chicken meal which was only $27 and it had a lot more quantity then I was expecting. The fried chicken was the best fried chicken I have ever tasted in my life. It was tender and juicy from the inside and very crispy from the outside. Coming from a city where Popeyes and KFC are Halal, this place tastes way better and satisfies you more with the affordable prices. I also tried one of the platters and they are way better than the ones you can buy on the streets of NYC. The staff was really friendly and I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family. One thing that I would suggest is opening up a location in Toronto because this place would be a big hit.“

“Best pork roll, egg and cheese around made with TLC.“

“We stopped in for dinner this evening (night before Thanksgiving) and we absolutely loved both the food and the service!

We had the kani salad & green salad, the fried shrimp appetizer, salmon sushi, and several special rolls - everything was fresh and very tasty with great portions!

And I would be remiss if I did not mention that our server, Chen, was an integral part of the experience and the enjoyment of our meal! She is a very welcoming host and lively conversationalist who really takes an interest in her work and her customers.

This was our first time dining here and we will certainly be back (and often)!

Parking: Parking was easy, they have plenty of spaces!“

“I have been doing a taste test with my family on seafood boils around the area and this is still our favorite, from to-go orders and dine-in with kids AND without. Food is always correct, fresh seafood and the sweetest waitress ever that basically works the entire restaurant (apologies I did not get her name)“

“great food, service, and strong drinks“

“This is hands down the best restaurant in NJ right now. The 8 course tasting menu is phenomenal, each dish balanced with unique flavors and texture, and beautiful plated. Our server explained each dish in detail, was extremely knowledgeable of the ingredients and dishes, and very friendly. He consistently topped off our drinks as needed and meticulously provided a new place setting for each course. The ambiance was very relaxing as we sat on the 2nd floor, with beautiful hip, modern decor. I was particularly intrigued by the faucet in the bathroom which was very unique. The overall attention to detail from the concept and design to the food and service is what sets it apart. Fine dining at its best with a relaxed atmosphere that easily compares to a Michelin star restaurant.

Free on site parking is available and it is a BYOB. A liquor store is conveniently located next door in case you forget to bring your libations.“

“The service was really excellent. The food was delicious. I was having a party for a member of my staff and it could not be more perfect.“

“Lovely auntie makes the best samosa chaat I’ve ever had! Literally so mouthwatering“

“A hidden jewel. This 50's themed diner is always immaculate. Staff is well trained and really friendly for this family owned business. We, until recently, worked our business from home so Chris's is our home from home. Always accommodating, food is excellent, prices fair. My happy place❤“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. Service can be a tad iffy at times. They'll offer you cilantro sauce with the empanadas but not tell you it's $0.50. You ask for an egg with waffles, they give you two (and charge for two just to be clear). I wish that they were a little more clear about that kind of stuff.

The food really does make up for it though. Everything is super fresh, well made and seasoned. The empanadas give Division Street Cafe a run for their money. The waffles are proper waffles, not the Belgian ones everyone else has, and it's all just vibrant. The decor is really fun, and the people who work there are friendly. The price can be a bit nuts. Both times I've gone it's cost us $50 to feed two people, with one entree each, a drink for one of us, and a single empanada. That's a lot. The desserts are $10 each which is a bit nuts. I know everyone is charging a lot nowadays, but I don't have to be happy about it.“

“Great food. Great service“

“like the decor and a nice spacing“

“la atención y la comida es exelente“

“Ciccio‘s has the best pizza in town. They have a great Tasting sauce on their pizza! Everything we have ever ordered here has Never disappointment.“

“First off the cleanliness of this Restaurant. I felt like I was eating at home. Secondary our Server (Shannon) was polite and very attentive to our needs. My wife and I are big advocates on service when we dining out. This place checks all the boxes. Well done Management of this Restaurant. I will be definitely coming back!!!“

“Placed a large catering order (23 trays) with Tropical Hut and it was a hit! Received many compliments on the food. Lots of veggie options and the desserts were great too. Some personal favorites are the Chicken Adobo, Lechon Paksiw and Pandan Biko. The staff are lovely and kind. Highly recommend Tropical Hut for yourself or for a group!“

“The food and service are always top notch! Wether you order a healthy salad, fresh sushi, American classics or any other item on the extensive & creative menu, Bistro 1051 will not disappoint. The service is always impeccable. The whole staff and the owner, Michael, are warm, friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy. I highly recommend for date night, lunch with friends and large events. This is one of my go-to restaurants in the Clark area. I’ve been a fan for well over 10 years!“

“Awesome service and menu. Greatttttt food. Robert Vidal“
