My wife and I usually go to Rare about once or twice a month and the food is always FANTASTIC and the service is even better. Our most recent server Mackenzie was an absolute dream. We have yet to be disappointed there. I highly recommend the Eggplant Tower appetizer, clam chowder (both the Manhattan and New England) and the Filet Mignon dinner.

Maybe my expectations were incorrect. I thought RC was an upper level steakhouse. It's more like a family restaurant. That being said, neither of us enjoyed our food. My steak was something I could have purchased at Shop Rite, and my wife couldn't eat her scallops because of the taste. I don't think we will return.

Made the reservations online and it said we would be in room 2 which we didn't know what that meant but when we arrived, it was basically all just one big room so seating was fine & really not a bad spot in the restaurant, unless you're someone who is cold, then ask to not be put under the AC units.
Our server Alexis was great, no complaints about her or her service at all.
I went with my father and he enjoyed the meal, I on the other hand was not a fan.
My dad had the clam chowder and said it was great. I had the shrimp cocktail and the shrimp looked strange and the taste was off.
My dad and I shared the flame grilled sampler. Once again, he thought it was great, I was not happy. I thought some of the steak was extremely fatty, the skirt steak had a spicy flavor to it and just the quality was not up to par. I had the mashed potatoes as a side and there was no taste to them at all.
I did enjoy the bread though!
The couple behind us had the meatloaf and they said it was delicious so I may be back to try that.

We went to Rare Co. last night for our first date night as a married couple and everything was tremendous. We got the steak platter and everything was marinated and cooked to PERFECTION! Our waitress was amazing, and the dessert was drool worthy!
We will definitely be returning!

This is a cute little spot for family dining with nice wait staff. We dined on a rainy Wednesday night so there went many other parties besides ours. While all entrees came out on time and tasted okay, the food was basically cold and one of the add-ons was missed. Our waitress left the food and didnât come back to check on anything, so we never ended up getting it. For the price, I would say try somewhere else unless you enjoy cold steak and fish.

probably worst dinner we've had on the island. food was cold. took forever to get a glass of water. won't go back.
Rare Company food and Staff are amazing! The food is so delicious and the staff was so inviting. Back in July of 2023 when we came down to LBI, we liked it so much that we ate at Rare Company 2 days ou5 of our 3 day vacation. July of 2024, we came back to LBI and made reservations this time around for 3 days out of 4 days. The Halibut, Stuffed Flounder, Honey glazed Salmon & stuffed Mushrooms & clam chowder were amazing! Highly recommended! We will be back in summer of 2025

Was so excited to take my family here as we came at the same time last year and it was excellent! However, I was so disappointed with our meals. My sonâs chicken tenders came out and were cold and The steaks we each got were all overcooked. Although the waitress was very nice, she must have been very new. She had to examine the menu on every item ordered and we had to correct her on one of the entrees so we werenât charged an extra $5 for sharing, even though the entree is for two people to split according to the menu. I told her of my disappointment with the food. There should have been some sort of manager around to help her navigate issues like this when a customer has a complaint. Normally I donât complain but with prices like these you expect the food to be spot on. Unfortunately we will look elsewhere when we come back again.
