50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Sea Girt

“I love this place. Great food, people, clean, friendly. Good vibe. Good music.“

“Try the seafood chowder!! It’s the best secret on the shore.“

“I recently stopped in for brunch at the bonefish grill in brick and had the best time. Aaliyah was our server and she was great. Very upbeat and personable. Audrey the manger stopped by to make sure our experience was nothing but perfect. She even interacted with my kids which was great. Can’t wait to go back for brunch again.“

“My wife and I had a wonderful lunch at Prime 13. The steaks were cooked perfectly and a very nice size for a lunch entree. Looking forward to going back for dinner. The tomahawk steaks looked absolutely delicious. After lunch we walked across the street to their butcher shop and purchased an incredible double cut pork chop. Just cooked that on my grill and it was fantastic!“

“Reds Lobster Pot was fantastic in every aspect. Despite being a busy Sunday evening we were seated prior to our reservation, given exceptional service, and served fantastic food. Our server, Jeanna, was incredibly attentive, witty, and fun despite being very busy. Chris is also another surprise, giving suggestions and just making the entire experience feel personal. I also want to give credit to every member of the staff who took plates, filled water, and performed other tasks that are often overlooked. Everyone was fast and pleasant, going far beyond the normal service provided at most restaurants. The food was amazing, served at the perfect pace, and abundant in portions. The view (as you will see) was the final touch. Can't wait to come back again, this is one of the best beach dining experiences in New Jersey and can't be missed.“

“This is a hidden Gem and is the best sushi around in Belmar area. Better than Rice and Taka combined... Sunsets here are magic and the band music is EXTRA loud.. brings the kinda crowd we like. Not the Pinot Noir Jet set crowd but the locals that fish and get down and dirt. Best outdoor fun scene. This place is a twilight zone and easy to lose a few hours at . Food is ALWAYS GREAT!!!!“

“I cannot say enough great things about this place! We have been multiple times for breakfast and try something different each time. Eggs benedict and corned beef hash absolutely scrumptious! But the absolute best is getting their country breakfast with a little bit of everything and we upgraded to oatmea cinnamon raisin pancakes which were to die for! Wash it down with fresh squeezed oj they make right in front of you! We came for lunch and got an open faced rueben with fries and coleslaw 😋 😋 best one I've ever had! We will DEFINITELY be back! Shavon was excellent too! Oh and PLENTY of free parking“

“Our server Andrea was absolutely fantastic. Not only was she efficient, she was very pleasant, personable, and kind. Watching her work was like watching a cross between Serena Williams, Lionel Messi, and Tom Brady at the peak of their careers. Amongst the chaos of a weekend dinner shift, she was a sea of calm and a breath of fresh air. If there were a server hall of fame, she would be our nomination. We will be returning for this exceptional experience again and again. Thank you Andrea!“

“We’ve been going to Illiano’s nearly 36 years. It’s been great since day 1. We usually do takeout and find the pizza, subs and garlic knots to be the best in Monmouth County. When we moved out of town about 3 years ago we tried to find something that was comparable and closer, but that didn’t work out so make the trip back just about every Friday night. We highly recommend them!“
