50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Pompton Lakes

“Been a while since we went to Axton’s, but my wife and I will be celebrating 30 years this week, we thought we’d start with a fine dinner WTH Chef Anton. Early on a Sunday during the summer was far from their busy time, so we had a chance to chat. For starters, we shared an apple mango salad. Shame on me for not reading the menu. The dressing is apple mango. Home made! I was looking for mango in the salad. Apple, craisins, two kinds of cheese…. Perfect for a hot July day. My wife ordered the shrimp marinara over spinach instead of pasta. Delicious and even more impressive was that the shrimp had their tails removed. A great touch. The piece de resistance was my scallop special. Scallops topped with Crabcake coating topped with bacon. Served over a bed of spinach with cherry tomatoes and more. My wife called it spectacular. I thought it was a taste of heaven. Couldn’t figure out one taste in the sauce. Originally thought mango, but there was none in the salad. Had to ask if it was peach? Mango was the winner. The dish was a bigger winner!“

“I was excited to get warm with soup after Pompton Lakes’ Holiday Stroll. I got the Hot Lemongrass Beef Pho. This is hands down the best pho I’ve had since leaving California. Boiling Pho is legit!! The noodles were chewy and not soggy. The beef brisket was so tender. The sliced beef was fresh. The broth was immaculate on a cold night and super flavorful. Nothing beats a good bowl of pho. I can’t wait to include this place in my weeknight dinner rotation! Thank you for the great food, atmosphere, and service!!“

“I recently ordered from The Den, it’s a charming new BYOB spot that has quickly become a favorite. The service was impeccable from start to finish; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. As for the food, every dish was a masterpiece—beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the perfectly seasoned appetizers to the mouthwatering entrees, each bite was a delight. The freshness of the ingredients and the chef's skillful preparation were evident in every course. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.“

“Krios is one of our go-to spots for dinner in Bloomingdale. The food is always delicious and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere feels warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out. While I’d love to see a few more traditional Greek dishes on the menu given the name, everything we’ve tried has been excellent. The Brussels sprouts and sesame feta are absolute must-haves. Pass on the lemon potatoes, though.“

“After months of hearing Chengdu 23 advertised on 105.5 WDHA, my wife and I decided to try it this evening. we were not disappointed! From the minute we walked in the door, our experience was 100% positive. The service was fast, courteous, and intuitive. The food was sublime. This is not your run of the mill Chinese food restaurant. I rate it seven out of five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I never claimed to be a math whiz!)“

“Just delicious and the service for our large group was fantastic“

“You cannot go wrong by dinning at Naxos. We will be back tomorrow night with my Grandchildren. Ask for Rebecca as your server she is wonderful“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing experience at Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was elegant, warm, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious — the meats were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. A special shoutout to Aris, my waitress, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional throughout my visit. She made sure I had everything I needed and always with a smile. I'll definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommended!“

“This was one of the best experiences I’ve had! The food was fresh, delicious, and packed with flavor. You can tell they really care about what they do.

“The staff was friendly, Filet mignon was the best I've ever had. Highly recommended.“

“Food was ok. Seafood boil was not that great. Corn was mushy, shrimp was , potatoes were a little hard, eggs were missing most of the white because I guess they couldn't peel it and one egg was not hard boiled . Whiting fish sandwich was not that good. My daughter liked the lobster roll though. Very hot in the restaurant, with flies.“

“Excellent food and service always an enjoyable evening at Michael Angelo’s in Fairfield“

“The food is amazing! There are so many options (not just seafood). I can honestly say I have never been disappointed! Buca's is my #1 seafood spot!

Dietary restrictions: You can get your food made any way you want it!“

“Was looking for a good authentic Chinese food in this part of Jersey, and this place clearly delivered. Incredible minced beef soup to start. Then had the fried rice, braised duck with mixed vegetables, and pan-fried flounder. Delicious. The service was good and attentive, though quite pricey, especially the duck ( $38), and there wasn't much meat, just more vegetables. But the flounder was worth it, $32.95.“

“I love Ferati’s - The food is delicious, service is great, they are very accommodating shud I request a little change in Preparation.“

“Overall we had a great experience at SearHouse Grill. The service was very attentive and the menu had a wide range of steak and non-steak options and there was also an extensive specials list. My filet mignon was cooked exactly the way I wanted it and was very tender as was the steak for everyone who ordered it at my table. The fish options were also prepared very well. The only negative was that the restaurant was very loud, but perhaps that was due to being there on a Saturday night.“

“Ate here for the first time with my sisters, and we had a fantastic experience. Our server, cherrylynn, gave us a run down of the menu and was very attentive. We had the jerked chicken wings and yuca fries and were in love. Would be dining here again“

“From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us like old friends and walked us right to our table — I instantly had a good feeling, and I was right. Our server was awesome — super friendly, knew the menu inside out, and was on top of everything all night.

The menu is classic Italian but with a twist — way more interesting than your standard North Jersey Italian spot. The ossobuco was fantastic (if I had to nitpick, I’d say the risotto could’ve used a touch less water and a heavier hand with the parm). The clams were fresh and baked to perfection, and my son devoured his ravioli. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely unreal — honestly worth the trip alone.

Safe to say we’ll be regulars!“

“Delicious food , lunch menu available , BYOB, Liquor store within 1 minute walking distance , yummy desserts, indoor / outdoor dining, great service, reward points program 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“The tapas is so delicious! And so us the sangria.“

“Thanks again for the catering. The chicken parm, francese, and sandwiches were awesome! Happy New Year!“

“My family and I come here all the time for large family gatherings. The food is absolutely phenomenal here, especially the pecking duck buns and sweet and sour pork. We also love the soy sea bass, crispy chicken, ginger scallion lobster, pork chops and corn egg drop soup. One time we brought them king crab legs to cook and they cooked all of our king crab legs to perfection!! I don’t usually write google reviews but this place is so special to me and my family and adore this spot. The service is so fast and attentive and they are kind enough to provide free dessert whether that be fresh oranges, fresh fruit or even sometimes sweet red bean soup! Please consider coming here and supporting them! They’re so deserving, hardworking and kind!!“

“This place is TOP SHELF. Went twice this past week and honestly feel there is NO place in the area that comes remotely close to this restaurant! I moved from Bergen County and until now, could not find that rare combination of quality food, CLEAN and attentive , personable staff. The seafood is AMAZING. I’ve heard some comments in reference to the owner….guess what…he’s doing a whole lot of right, maybe you just don’t know the difference.“

“Excellent food and service we love this restaurant“

“Exceptional Hospitality & Outstanding Dining Black Bull Steakhouse never disappoints! Despite planning to close early for snow, they graciously welcomed us, showcasing their top-notch hospitality. The service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and professional. And the food? Simply outstanding. Every dish, from perfectly cooked steaks to delicious sides, was exceptional. Our waiter Artie was amazing. A huge thank you to the team for going above and beyond, despite wanting to close early because of the snow, they welcomed us graciously and provided amazing service. If you’re looking for a steakhouse that truly values its guests, Black Bull is the place to be!“

“The decor at this morsel of Costa Rican culture is aesthetically pleasing and if you’re in the area, this is one of the better Tico spots. We watched Costa Rica beat Paraguay in a Copa America game while eating pupusas, un Casado and Tacos Ticos and totally hit the spot. Especially since they served some salsa Lizano on the side.“

“lo mejor de lo mejor ❤️♥️“

“We had our daughter’s bridal shower here this past weekend…cannot say enough good things about the food service and total atmosphere..all of our guests loved the food the staff was fantastic and so very accommodating. They worked with us regarding the room set up and the several changes we needed to make. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Pretty good food, friendly service.“

“Gran experiencia el Día de la Madre en D’Carbón de Haledon. Excelente servicio! Los gestos y atenciones de las meseras realmente hacen la diferencia en una cena especial. Jhoselyn y el resto del equipo del restaurante son expectaculares en un día tan ocupado como fue el día de la madre. Esos momentos especiales en los que te sientes bien atendido y cuidado hacen que la comida sea aún más deliciosa. Se que tendré muchas más experiencias increíbles en De Carbón y seguiré disfrutando de la comida peruana junto a tu familia y amigos gracias al gran servicio! Gracias Jhoselyn por tus atenciones!“

“They hooked me up! Delicious food; good portions. I usually get oxtail from Jamaican restaurants. I'd say it's one of the top of the restaurants I've eaten from.

That said, oxtail is generally an expensive meat to buy and can be hard to cook right. So, it can be difficult to find places like this that give you a decent amount. And I've orderd from them a few times, so I can say their potion size is generally consistent from what I've seen.“

“We were so fortunate to have Culcha Caribbean bring their food truck to our Fall company bbq. Employees thanked me for getting them. They sold out before the lobster truck if that tells you anything!“

“I recently attended a bridal shower at this restaurant, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was warm, attentive, and a true pleasure to work with. The food was outstanding—beautifully presented and full of flavor. The atmosphere was perfect for the occasion, and everyone had a fantastic time. Highly recommend for any special event or dining!“

“I and my whole family have been going here for the last 20 years. The food is consistently excellent the service is impeccable and his family are like my family.

I would always drive way out of my way if I had to to come to Bella Notte“

“The girl was pretty polite on phone , she even made sure that I am in calling for the right place. Had ordered a small chicken soup and chicken fried rice . Food was really good. For sure I will recommend this place. One extra star for hospitality as well.“

“Honestly, I wasn't expecting much since the price was comparatively low but was surprised by the taste and quality. This was a delivery order, and all the items I ordered were packed well and tasted really good. Would definitely order again.“
