50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Sayreville

“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.“

“This is my all time favorite Chinese Restaurant! The food is delicious, generous portions and friendly service! We missed them during their brief closure for the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you!!“

Will definitely choose this place first for future gatherings!“

“We just finished up my birthday celebration here and it was hands down one of the best I have ever had. The food and service are top notch. The amenities and thoughtfulness they put into this experience puts this place in a league of its own. We did the 4lbs (we are a family of 6) with the Cajun sauce. I recommend getting the garlic noodles, corn, potatoes and sausage. We also go some bread at the end and used it to dip in the sauce. 10/10. Get their versions of caprisuns. They were delish and just fun to drink. Thanks Sandy and crew for a wonderful evening 🥳❤️“

“Cuzin's Seafood Clam Bar is first class! Not only is the seafood fantastic, but the dry aged steaks and cocktails are excellent as well. Highly recommend“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“crab cakes and dynamite shrimp were awesome“

“We ordered takeout from B2J Fish Soup, and the experience was fantastic. The soup was incredibly tasty, and the 'mini' size with extra fish was more than enough to feed three people—it’s a great value. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fried milk; I had never tried it before, but the lady was kind enough to give us a sample, and I ended up absolutely loving it. Mild was spicy, keep that in mind. Highly recommended!“

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.“

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

“Great friendly atmosphere and great fresh food“

“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.“

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

“Service was excellent, and the menu and specials were plenty. The ambiance was nice, noise moderate, but a slower night. The table settings were very classy, only issue I had was that it was so beautiful set, but received the bread dip oil, which was delish came in a plastic cup? The app was mussels in a garlic wine sauce, very meaty and tasty. The meal was very good, had the Grilled Jumbo shrimp, with traditional chips. Should have requested the saffron rice side, which I do like. The vegetables were slightly overcooked, but tasty. The creamy cheesecake was outstanding! The Pinot Noir average but nice. Overall, I'd definitely recommend.“

“Lucy made the entire experience a please. She was attentive, friendly and professional. We were there to celebrate my father's 86th birthday. Lucy made sure to make the occasion a special one, recomended a few entrees to my parents, and brought out a dessert for us to sing happy birthday without us even asking. She also told us which desserts were her favorite and we chose 4. Overall it was a great time and when we go back we will request her to be our server.“

“The host Ranjitha and team deccan spice were excellent. Would recommend to everybody😊“

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

“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 .“

“I am a big sticker for fried food not being greasy and this was the first time I have ever been to this restaurant. The chicken came out HOT which is extremely important and had just the right seasoning. When I didn't see greasy chicken or the paper inside greasy I tried one and before I knew it I had eaten five wings waiting for the rest of my food. And I bought 12 pieces to take home and share. Also try the bean pie OMG I literally ate the entire thing. I purchased the small one. I don't usually eat the crust but it was so delicious.“

“Delicious food and beautiful patio outside. Portions are generous and huge, definitely worth the price 100% recommend 💯👍“

“Ram & Rooster delivers a fantastic tasting menu experience from start to finish. The space is beautiful, with superb decor and a counter overlooking the open kitchen that makes the whole meal feel intimate and engaging all for a great price!

Several dishes stood out, especially the scallop course, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The duck dish was another highlight—rich, tender, and beautifully balanced. It’s also BYOB, and they offer some excellent non-alcoholic drink options that pair nicely with the meal.

Dessert was the perfect ending, with a bright lemon cake and a decadent chocolate dish that were both outstanding.

Phenomenal service throughout the evening made the experience even better. Ram & Rooster is a must for anyone looking for a refined and memorable tasting menu.“

“best grill chicken platter and zinger love it fresh chicken always“

“A few weeks ago my friend and I had dinner at this Red Lobster, the place was full and it took a while for the waiter to come to our table but when he did; Matthew did an excellent job! yes, he could have been faster but I think they were short of staff that day but other than that Matthew was awesome“

“Excellent service and good food 🍱“

“I went there was greeted kindly, i ordered my food it came out expeditiously, steamy, and extremely Delicious. The only sort of darw back i will say is that the snow crab were a bit overcooked ( the inside were slightly dried out) but it was still very good though. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!“

“excellent service. great food. having 45th anniversary there.“

“Delicious food, and perfect for a meal any time of day or a late night bite. The malatang ain’t no joke and the fish was so tender! Particularly enjoyed the spicy beef tendon and tripe appetizer as well. Fast service, and owner is so kind.“

“I'm thrilled to say I absolutely love Osaka Sushi 2! I first tried their food when I moved to the Old Bridge area, ordering through DoorDash, and was immediately impressed. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and arrived quickly. MY FAVE IS THE CRYSTAL ROLL, try it!

Since then, I’ve dined in the restaurant a few times, and each visit has been wonderful. The food, service, and even the discounts are consistently great. I enjoy trying different rolls each time, and their lunch special is unbeatable! The servers and the owner are incredibly friendly, making each visit feel welcoming. I highly recommend bringing a friend or your partner, you won’t be disappointed with the quality and presentation. You can truly tell they love what they do!“

“fresh pasta woth short rib ragu...fantastic dish. been eating here for 20 years... cant recall a bad meal.“

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

“One of the best dim sum restaurant in Central Jersey! Lunch time is highly recommended. On the weekend, they bring food on a cart and you can pick whatever you want to eat. Everything is so tasty and we love it! Price is very reasonable. You can also order from Entree menu, which is also delicious.
It gets very crowded on weekend lunch time, so recommend going as soon as they open at 11:30am.“

“Great food, excellent service from Dennis Yusko in coordinating our catered party!“

“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“

“Great food. Great service“

“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 🙌🏼“

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

“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.“

“We had a 50th wedding anniversary dinner at Metuchen Inn and it was perfect. The staff there is amazing. Everyone was so accommodating and they went above and beyond to make it a great evening. Anyone who is looking to host an event should consider Metuchen Inn!“

“Best in Metuchen! Go! Now! You will not be sorry! Great meal, great service and of course you get to visit with the owner, Dario Barone. Nothing better.“

“The ma-la stir fry is the best I’ve had anywhere in the state. Recommend to come and try Spice24 in particular. I come every other week and have never had a bad experience.“

“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“

“This was our first time going and were skeptical at first but it smelled so good. This might have been the BEST food choice we’ve made in a while, a we eat out often. It is absolutely delicious, savory and honestly, you start to feel bad every bite because you dont want the plate to end.

We also ordered the crab rangoons and were absolutely PERFECT. The lady at the front counter is the sweetest and we decided to eat in, she took the food to our table.

We are now permanently customers. 10/10 recommend“
