50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Old Bridge

“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!“

“Best pizza and food around!! Stall is so very courteous“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“There are a very few Chinese restaurants that are authentic so this is definitely one! We ordered the spicy tofu flavor fish which was sooo good! It was just the right spicy and flavorful. With some rice on the side, it was just perfect! We also got some beef skewers and barbecue chicken wings to go and they were great too! But the fish wins any day! :)“

“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!“

“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“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“Had to drive over 45 minutes to get to this place. I’m giving this a 5 star because this is probably the best fish soup you are going to get in NJ. There are however much better places for this in Flushing Queens which would be double the driving time for me. The fish soup is good. Not the best. For the best, my go to place is still this place called Fish With You in Flushing. Give this place a try! Everything is good.

Update: had the comb for 2. The fish came under flavored. Needed some time to marinade in the soup. After it was better. We got the fried pork belly which is good. But can’t have too much because it is heavy. The glutinous cubes were fried so it was crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. The syrup is used to dip and it serves as a good dessert to finish the meal off.“

“had a problem but the manager was very concerned and made us happy we went.food absolutely delicious.“

“While the food was good and service was generally fine, I indicated that we were celebrating a birthday on the open table reservation, added a note about it, and mentioned it to our server. Nothing was done to acknowledge the birthday at all. This was disappointing. A restaurant at this price level should be more attentive to matters like this.“

“Cute and quaint atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food is absolutely delicious! Chicken vindaloo and chicken Tikka masala. Also some spicy chili garlic Naan, butter Naan and roti. Flavorful and good portion sizes. They could stand to give a little more rice with the entree, but that doesn't take away from the quality and enjoyment of the dishes. Can't wait to return to try other menu options.“

“Host was friendly and gave us options rather than waiting so we took the high table instead of booth. Our server was amazing. Lovely lady. Shout out to Ellen G. Attentive and made us feel like we owned the place. A comfort not found in many places. She had many tables but made us feel like the only ones in her line up. Appreciate the love, Ellen. See you soon. 10/10“

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

“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.“

“This was the first time we had just an average experience. I was taking a friend out to celebrate her birthday because we always love the excellent service and food. Yesterday things worked out in the end (through a manager) but several negative things occurred. For one thing, the filet mignon/lobster tail combination was not cooked properly. One order was for “medium” and it was totally rare. Had to get manager because server was busy bartending and waitressing. The manager took the meat back and had it recooked. Also, the lobster tail was extremely tiny. We have had this dish before, and the tail was always small but not tiny small. Ok, so now I am eating by myself while my friend is waiting for her dinner. BTW! It came out very rare again. The manager offered my friend a soup or salad so she could eat something while waiting. The Caesar salad was chosen. The croutons were stale. A new piece of meat was cooked up...finally to perfection. Took three tries! The birthday desserts were delicious and the chicken pesto appetizer was perfect. We do not think the service was up to par since we have always had such friendly servers. Another waitress came out to us because we felt like she was avoiding us. As I said, it worked out because the meals were taken care of, but i hope we do not experience this again. Seasons 52 has been one of my favorite restaurant and of course, I will give it another try!“

“Our Wedding Reception was at Armory 17 years ago! We go back every year on our anniversary! And other times as well. Food is always good. Love the Rodizio! And in good weather, enjoying the delicious food outside, with sangria, is wonderful! Highly recommend it!!“

“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 .“

“Very delicious. Many healthy and tasty soup base options for chicken hot pot. The chicken is fresh and juicy. You also have the options of other meets (beef, lamb, fish, etc) as add on. They also have a tons options for appitizer and deserts. Highly recommanded.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“It would be easy to overlook this place. It’s buried way in the back of a strip mall. The interior ambience isn’t anything to brag about, either. Yet it is a true gem with amazing food at good prices and excellent service. My wife and I each ordered pizzas. She got the 12” Chicken Pesto and I ordered the 12” Meat Lover’s. Both came out promptly. It was amazing, the best pizza I’ve had in years. I can’t say too many good things about it. Everything was in perfect harmony, a symphony of umami and cheese. Meatballs, sausage, bacon. It had it all. Each bite a delight. My wife also loved her pizza. We stopped in on a Monday on the way up north for a show. There were a few tables occupied but I would imagine it probably gets busy on weekends. Even so, I would make a point of stopping in here again next time I’m passing through the area at dinner time.“

“Tried it for the first time today. Hubby got the fried calamari and I got the fish sandwich. Both delicious and fresh.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“best fried shrimp in the state“

“Beautiful atmosphere friendly wait staff delicious appetizers and even better main course next up vanilla crème brûlée“

“Outstanding vibe and great service. Our server was Christina and she was extremely pleasant, had a great personality and seemed very happy to be working there. They also had a guitar player who played wonderfully and wasn’t overpowering so you can still chat with your table. Very satisfied with the food so compliments to the back staff. It’s very obvious the management runs a well organized restaurant so 👍👍. Just an awesome experience and we all look forward to heading back. Thank you all!“

“the best seafood 🦞 love the place .“

“Great food. Great service“

“Thank you to Rob and staff. Everything was great last night.“

“The service at Mina's is top notch! The staff is attentive and friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure memorable dining experience. The food is really outstanding! Hands down the best BBQ food I've eaten lately. Five stars Minas BBQ“

“Fabulous dining experience at The Greek on Main! Recommended by our son! Appetizers were amazing! Fig & Goat Cheese Flatbread Haloumi Fries- Feta and roasted red pepper aioli. So good! Tomato salad! Enjoyed two entrée specials!- Shrimp and Pork- Delicious! The prawns and lamb shank were well prepared! Dessert and tea! Perfectly ended the night! Our Server Lovely was truly lovely!! Attentive and friendly! She knew the menu well and answered all our questions! Thank you Lovely! Bring your own alcohol! Make reservations! Highly recommend“

“First Time Here And The Breakfast Food Was Delicious.“

“La Cucina is absolutely delicious. Always fresh and VERY consistent. I have never ordered something that wasn’t superb! They have the best halibut over risotto I have ever had. If you have never dine here before then you are certainly missing out. Cucina is our go to! Best food in town by a long shot 🙌🏼“

“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.“

“Great food and great staff“

“This restaurant Annaporni in manalpan was very good, samber, dosa, utthapam and vedas were excellent. I would go back again. Recommend this place for South Indian cuisine. Did not try their biryani’s but I am sure they are equally good.“

“Delicious food coupled with an enjoyable atmosphere! The staff is both pleasant and attentive! It has become a favorite of ours! 👍“

“My wife and ate here in July. The food was outstanding especially the chicken parmigiana. Great fresh salad“

“So the food was really good, The only problem I had was that I ordered fried rice without onions, and they even wrote it on the receipt no onions, but still decided to add it in there, I completely understand if you can”t order it without but it was just tedious having to pick through it, but I would recommend this place“

“Never disappoints, always a hearty meal.“

“Amazing resturaunt!!! Our waitress Vicky made our incredible experience even better!! Would highly recommend!!“

“1st and last time coming here. With the price of the buffet you would think they will have more food selections. The food was nasty, cold and dry. The hibachi was closed and the steak they did make and put out was cold, tough and been sitting out for a while. Crabs were cold and small they were stingy with putting everything out in small portions. Didn't have any snow crabs like they advertise. The bubble tea was free so my children didn't know upon leaving we had to pay for it. The rude receptionist ran and chased us down out the door and snatched them out my kids hands. If she wasn't so rude i would of went back to pay for them. I spent a total of $267 including $40 tip for nasty buffet and service. False advertising on social media made me come here. Never again“

“The Best Staff, a staple of the community. Beautiful restaurant and Who doesn't love Portuguese and their food!!!!“

“For people who are going to try the deadlift soup for the first time, I recommend ordering the seviche separately, because the lemon is strong and overpowers the flavor of the seafood. And the easy tasty marine dish for three people, make sure to bring a bottle of wine, nice place, a hidden gem.“

“I love this place!! Definitely recommend to everyone!!“

“This restaurant is absolutely amazing! I hosted my bridal shower in their banquet room, and it exceeded all expectations. The room is stunning—beautifully renovated, bright, modern, and impeccably clean. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive and professional, making the event run smoothly. While the food was good (though not exceptional), the overall experience was fantastic. If you’re planning a special event, this place is a perfect choice!“
