50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Rio Grande

“Wish I could go back to the days when "Old Man Menz" and his daughter would serve us his fabulous meals and chat with us. What a family! We ate there soooooo many times and my family just loved it. We went there in the early 70's and 80's . What a place......it was a real experience. THANK YOU, MR. MENZ. You were so special!“

“We LOVEDDD IT! I was a little nervous about the price of the Mahi Tacos but holy heck- they were INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! We will definitely be back!!!“

“Amazing food! Quality, flavor and presentation were all beyond top notch! Definitely will be back soon“

“I had a great experience at The Lobster House. The place was pretty busy when I went, but it had a nice atmosphere and was worth the visit. I ordered the crab cakes with fries and coleslaw, and everything was really good and fresh. The bread they brought to the table was amazing too!

I also had a drink that I really enjoyed. The service was good, and I liked the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. There are also some interesting displays and things to see around the property.

If you’re in the Cape May area and looking for good seafood, I definitely recommend checking out The Lobster House. I would come back again!“

“Hands down.... THE BEST LOBSTER ROLL we've ever had... Ordered The Monstah and it did not disappoint !!! Over a pound of fresh, perfectly dressed lobster meat on an amazing bun with chips and pickles !!! Had to eat the top layers with a fork to get down to the meat in the bun. If you love Lobster rolls, you've gotta make it a point to hit La La Lobster if you're ever in Cape May, NJ !!! Tell them Karl & Robynn sent ya !!!“

“Great Food and Awesome Location. Love it!“

“Always go when in Cape May…fabulous food“

“Delicious food. Never disappoints !“

“We were down the past couple of weekends in North Wildwood, stopped at one of our favorites and got great-sized Maryland crabs the one weekend and, then, last night some clams & lobster tails. Always a pleasure seeing the staff. Always fast & friendly“

“When I am at the shore and I think seafood, I think Back Bay Seafood. Honestly, best crab cakes I ever had. And let’s not forget the broiled scallops, and stuffed shrimp, and the list goes on! Amazing food, high quality, and excellent customer service. Not to mention, family-owned business that appreciates their customers and are dedicated to providing quality meals, the kind you eat with your friends and family and make those down-the-shore memories. Can’t say enough good things about Back Bay, except I’ll be back real soon!“

“We had an absolute perfect dining experience. Each course was outstanding. Peach & Burrata salad, delicious. Scallops perfectly done and chocolate panna cotta so good. Loved every thing about Grana BYOB.“

“ماشالله تبارك الله مكان جميل وقيم واغذيه متنوعه وذات طعم مميز ونتمنى أن تفتحوا فرع عندنا نتيجه لجودة المنتج وحلاوته وفقكم الله امين يارب العالمين“

“We had a great time at Stowaways. Pat was the best!“

“Excellent service from Athena. Really good food. Still BYOB but now have Meadowcroft wines. Very nice wine very reasonably priced.“

“The wife and I were out and about and decided to try the Waterside location in Lakewood Ranch Fl. I have to say im a bit of a critic because we have family in Maine and have tasted all ends of the spectrum of lobster rolls from amazing to terrible and this place makes a great Lobster rolls with a spot on price comparable to Maine and other restaurants in the area. The staff member we dealt with was super nice I wish I would have got his name, but I do know he was from Jersey and had great knowledge knew the product well. We had 2 Connecticut rolls and they were great. I would say this place is worth checking out. Theres only outdoor seating, but you can easily walk around waterside and find a spot to kick back and enjoy or walk out enjoy their outdoor seating and it will complement their lobster rolls very well. They also have nice little selection of beers/beverages and a whole N/A fridge too.“

“Easy ordering online and pickup. Great directions on how to steam everything and soooo yummy! Get extra shrimp and crab you won't regret it....amazing!“

“Great service, tasty food and nicely crafted cocktails.“

“I have used Lucky Bones’s Eric three times in the last five years for catering parties at my home/in my yard. Twice I also booked waitresses with my party. The food is always delicious, the service reliable. We ran out of chicken tenders for the kids once and they brought over a new batch! Everything is set up as ordered and arrives on time. You can’t go wrong with them for your party. My father’s small after-funeral reception was in their back room and my husband and I eat at the restaurant at least once a month. Highly recommend.“

“Food, service and view excellent“

“One word! Delicious! Will be visiting again next year!“

“awesome definitely will be back!“

“Excellent Food with fair prices, perfect convenience store with almost everything you could need, plus fair prices if you gently compare an small business with sll this monster chain stores... Customers service always good and friendly, specially when he remember every single member of your house and ask for them every single time they aren't with you!Very Good People... Wings are my favorite!“

“Food is great, awesome salad bar and amazing service“

“Picked it because of the name TBH. We just recently lost our own Dave to cancer and I thought it would be cool. The worker at the counter was a sweetheart, even checking on us while we ate outside. The clam strips were the best I have ever had in my life and the crab cakes were amazing. We can’t wait to come back next year.“

“Thank you for an amazing memorable birthday dinner. A true gem of Stone Harbor.“

“I stick to two items that never disappoint: the French Onion soup served in a crock and the hot roast beef w/horseradish and au jus for dipping. The onions are caramelized perfectly so they don't get mushy. The roast beef is lean, tender, and flavorful and the fresh horseradish gives plenty of bite. Hasn't changed in 20+ years; comfort food that spans the generation!“

“our server, jennifer, was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, efficient and one of the best servers i ever had. Sean, the manager and sommelier was so knowledgeable about wine and gave us great a recommendation on an exquisite bottle of wine, which paired perfectly with our dinner. this restaurant surpassed our expectations“

“Relaxing Dinner on a Summer Evening Delicious dining outside or inside. At our table, we enjoyed the escargots, duck à l'orange, the halibut special, crème brûlée and the fruit tarte. All were wonderful. Service was impeccable. We will definitely be back!“

“Great food and beautiful sunsets“

“I wasn't sure about this place based on some of the reviews, but the wife wanted seafood and it was close. So glad I went! The Key West shrimp were amazing! And the crab stuffed mushrooms couldn't fit any more crab! The price per portion was perfect.“

“Excellent..everything!! nice waiter too!!“

“Well, this summer we decided to take a trip to Wildwood. We did some research regarding places to stay and of course restaurants. Well, we found a very nice motel. Well anyway, one morning we went out to one of the recommended restaurants, and happened to notice this restaurant across the street called pasta pesto. We noticed there was some signage outside regarding Tuesday night martinis special Thursday night prime rib special so we decided to venture there on Tuesday night. Well first of all the surroundings were very inviting along with a very relaxing atmosphere. So we had the martinis specials, which were very cheap and actually very very good. The service was awesome and we met the one lady there named Peg who is very very nice. Well, then, we decided to go back Thursday night for prime rib night. He had the prime rib, which was more then he even expected and I had the ravioli with meatballs. Both dishes were very, very good again. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was very relaxing plus it was very busy that Thursday night, which I’m not surprised. So I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Wildwood area. We definitely would go there again for dinner. Unfortunately, I only took a few pictures, and hopefully it captured the relaxing atmosphere of this establishment.“

“We’ve been waiting a long time to try this “hidden gem” although it’s not so hidden anymore as Philly Inky’s Craig Laban named it one of 20 places for seafood down the Jersey Shore this month. My wife had the famous scallops and thought they were delicious, reminded her of classic, fresh taste of the shore scallops from youth. My burger was good. Fries were tasty. Drinks were proper. Service was attentive. The scallops alone are reason to return.“

“Fresh and interesting menu. Everything we had was perfect. Smoked salmon and noodle aps were both great starters to share. Scallops, crab cakes, swordfish entrees were delicious. The desserts were lovely and generous portions. Not surprised to hear that this is a perennial favorite for many regulars.“

“This is the spot if you are looking for great food and a family friendly atmosphere! The food was perfect, zero issues. This is the spot you want to spend your hard earned money, a family business. The highlight was talking to Joe and his wife. He is surrounded by his family and it shows that he is proud that they are all working together and serving a great product. This will be our new spot when we come on vacation! See you next year Joe!“

“Hi I want to sing my praises to two of your waitresses that went above and beyond during our meals while vacationing in Wild Woods. Our first Experience and 2nd we had the pleasure of having “Niki” and truly we could not ask for better service than she offered,her tone,her understanding and the way she treated my toddler is immeasurable and the small details that were paid attention to were not found in other establishments we tried. I hope she knows how valued and appreciated she is by our family! We stopped in for one last meal before heading back to MD and we were cared for. A waitress I don’t re call a name but long curly hair,and a smile that lit up a room and was welcoming,her table side manner was fantastic she joked with us and also treated my daughter remarkably well where again other establishments frowned upon her questions or acted as she wasn’t talking. Furthermore,Noticing the whole atmosphere was a fantastic vibe, Everyone was smiling and working as a team. Can’t wait to return !“

“My sister and I stopped by Port Marina for a quick late lunch, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our day! The atmosphere is beautiful, with stunning marina views and a relaxing coastal vibe. The food was fresh and delicious, the drinks were excellent, and everything was presented beautifully. A special thank you to Ava, who provided attentive, friendly service from start to finish. She made us feel welcome and checked on us just the right amount, making for a wonderful dining experience. If you’re looking for a great waterfront spot in Cape May with delicious food, great cocktails, and exceptional service, Port Marina is definitely worth a visit. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“WoW WoW WoW ! Today was my first time dining here and it certainly won’t be my last. Everything was incredible. Shrimp tempura for a starter and it was outstanding. The salmon dish was out of this world and like no other salmon entrée I have ever had. You will not be disappointed and the service was top notch! Well Done jays on third“

“EXCELLENT FROM SOUP TO NUTS !!!!“

“was really good and the service was great. Unfortunately, the kids’ meals were way too expensive at $16 each, especially with no kids drinks included. Alcohol is also on a separate bill since they get the drinks from the restaurant next door. Overall, we enjoyed the food, but the prices are just way too high for us to come back.“

“Awesome bar and atmosphere“
