50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Somerset

“Excellent food, service, hospitality all the way around. I cannot express how authentically delicious the meals are here. The taste should give you a reason to pay whatever the price is because it’s worth it. Amazing flavors, forever obsessed. Definitely ordering more often.“

“Tasty pizza. Great salads. Friendly atmosfere.“

“I've ordered takeout from Hot Space Edison several times, and the food has always been consistently delicious. One of my favorite dishes is the fish with the spicy sauce. The fish is always fresh, tender, and cooked perfectly, and the sauce is packed with flavor with just the right amount of heat. Every bite is satisfying, and you can tell that care goes into preparing the food.

Even as takeout, the food travels well and arrives fresh and flavorful. The portions are generous, and everything I've tried has been well-seasoned and enjoyable. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and my orders have been accurate and ready on time.“

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“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 🥳❤️“

“We ordered the signature sour fish soup with black cod and it was delicious. Small was enough for the 2 of us.The fish is very fresh and we also ordered the crispy chiong ching chicken and it was also very good and has a lot of flavor. Dispite being surrounded in spicy peppers the spice level was good and has a lot of flavor.

The scallion noodles were fine, personally I thought it was a bit over hyped but for 6 bucks we were happy to try it.“

“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!“

“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:)“

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

“The environment of the restaurant was amazing! The aroma and taste of the soup was delicious and fulfilling. Definitely would come back again.
Customer service was great. It’s been a while since we visited and they have added several different soup base choices. We went for the basic chicken broth with fish maw, but will definitely try other ones next time.
All the hot pot restaurants in the area are all-you-can-eat, but this one isn’t. However, the quality of the soup stock is way better and the dining environment is quieter.“

“The service was amazing, each course was better than the last, and its a nicely decorated, intimate space. Its absolutely worth the price and a wonderful experience. This is honestly of the best restaurants we've been to in a long time.“

“crab cakes and dynamite shrimp were awesome“

“Coming here for years. Some food items have gone down in quality, namely the pork chop and mac and cheese. Pork chop used to be really cooked to perfection and moist, however lately it has been dried out and overcooked. Mac and cheese lost the amount of cheese it usually has on it, and noodles were undercooked the previous two times. Must have changed the cooks in kitchen, who knows.“

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

“Vegetarians, don't let the name keep you away: this place is a wonderful option. The soup bases are all vegetarian, as they proclaim on the very first line of the menu.

I got the traditional Chinese sauerkraut soup with two kinds of tofu. Let me say up front that very few foods taste genuinely novel to me, and I love all kinds of fermented vegetables. So the second pleasant surprise (after the great menu) was the flavor of this dish. I simply could not place it. Was it some kind of citrus? Lemongrass? No, the server said, it's really just the fermented vegetables doing it. I still don't quite believe it, but it was not a taste I'd ever ever had.

I am very eager to come back here and discover a few more unfamiliar tastes!“

“Great service and the food and drinks were delicious 💕“

“Great friendly atmosphere and great fresh food“

“Sam and Valentina provided excellent service as busy as they were. Thank you so much. And general manger found us a table much more to our liking than where they were going to seat us. Again sooooo appreciated especially considering how busy they were.
It was father's day so atmosphere included lots of cranky children and restaurant was very full.
Wish the food on salad bar had labels.“

“excellent service, they are very friendly and the food without a doubt, recommended.“

“Have lived a few miles from here for almost 20 years and regret every single one that I didn't come here. wonderful service, friendly atmosphere and DELICIOUS food. everything was fresh and flavorful! We had the pleasure of introducing ourself to the owner on the way out and what a kind and grateful man. I can't wait to be back asap!“

“Excellent food great service never disappoints highly recommend“

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

“Amazing food and service.“

“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.“

“Love the food - great variety with amazing taste. Everything is made fresh. Great atmosphere and very clean and friendly. Highly recommend!“

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

“mac & Cheese, whitingn their food is awesome Fresh“

“A hidden jewel. This 50's themed diner is always immaculate. Staff is well trained and really friendly for this family owned business. We, until recently, worked our business from home so Chris's is our home from home. Always accommodating, food is excellent, prices fair. My happy place❤“

“The service was excellent—far beyond my expectations. I placed a large pickup order for my niece’s graduation party with over 100 guests, and everything was outstanding. The chicken was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Many of the guests kept asking who had prepared it because they enjoyed it so much.

If you're planning an event and need quality food for a crowd, I highly recommend Flying Wings in Plainfield, NJ. Their food and service exceeded expectations and helped make our celebration a success.“

“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 .“

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

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“Great very fresh sushi a small out of the way place that is a gem.. We found this place about 2 years ago and haven't gone to another sushi restaurant in our area since...“

“Amazing food. Had hummus shareable platter. Fresh ingredients and tasted amazing!!“

“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.“

“la atención y la comida es exelente“

“I only got takeout, but they prepared the food quickly, and the packaging was perfect.
I got crab legs and corn, both were delicious and very fresh.
The even included a pair of gloves in the bag for the crab! (I didn't use them, but presumably some people want to keep their hands clean during this sort of meal)“

“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.“

“We cannot return to the equator but finding this delight in NJ Plainfield makes me remember the days of family reunions, the chips, the seasoning, the ajísito de pepa, something very delicious and recommended.

Parking: Parking with free space

Kid-friendliness: Quiet atmosphere“

“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!“
