“Love this place. Tasty seafood, friendly wait staff, nice cozy atmosphere, and just off the island (LBI). Highly recommend you try Old Causeway for dinner and drinks if you're staying at LBI because it beats most restaurants on the island and is the only thing I'll come back over the bridge for while staying at LBI.“

“A true blue collar bar. It's got that old vibe with wood all over. Great ocean beach decorations. They have a decent sized rear patio for the summer. The kitchen has been really good. It has from scratch homemade items. The drinks are sizeable and of normal price. The service has been fun and friendly. CASH ONLY but has an ATM“

“Tuckerton location: Really good staff, food prepared well and served hot, and good drinks. Only food complaint is the deserts are just barely ok. Store bought cakes, pre cut and stored on plates are ready to go, but lacked any freshness. No whipped cream or imagination, thereafter. Cheesecake remined of Jello cheesecake and was just soggy. Edible but not incredible and no one at the table finished theirs. As for a lower rating for atmosphere, there are just alot of tables on that floorspace. You hit them as soon as you walk in. So when it gets packed, which is a good thing for the Pub, forget about atmosphere, unless the crowd is rooting for local teams. But, still a good place to eat, drink, and gather.“

“My husband and I had dinner here for the first time in the summer of 2023 on a weeknight inside. We decided to give it a try due to the recommendation of our neighbors. I had the Lobster Grilled Cheese sandwich and Lobster Bisque Soup in a bread bowl upon recommendation of our neighbors again. Both items did not disappoint. Both items were super filling and tasty! If you order the soup in a bread bowl, be prepared to share. It becomes like an appetizer with all the soft bread in the bowl. Absolutely delicious. As for the atmosphere, we chose to sit inside. Watching the ocean and the boats at sunset gave it a perfect summerlike feel. We will be back based on our last experience this past summer.“

“First time visit and we will definitely be back.Unfortunately, we along with many others in the area have been missing this great dining spot probably because from the outside it looks like a bar —- not the cozy place it is. We loved the food —- generous portions and perfect menu choices not to mention the server,Hannah, she is delightful. She told us that there are changing specials every Thursday-Sunday !! All things considered we will do our best to tell everyone what they are missing.“

“This is an absolute wow restaurant. There is nothing on the menu that's generic and everything has a personal touch to it. I got to meet the owners and they were the most down to earth friendly people. The clams were an excellent appetizer, followed by one of the best medium-rare prime ribs I've ever had. They absolutely nailed it. The rest of my party enjoyed the seafood they ordered. The dry scallops had by others were raved about and the service was top notch. This is a high end seafood restaurant with all the charm of a seaside inn. I absolutely can't wait to go back.“

“Came in for an early dinner with my son. We arrived at 4pm. By the time we left there was a wait, and it's obvious why. The food was so good. The wings were delicious, and cooked perfectly. I had the scallops and my son had the cheese steak. Two very different meals and both absolutely incredible. Our waiter was so awesome and attentive as well. Would 100% come back.“

“One of the fee places in the area that you can make a reservation. Food is the focus based on its affiliation with the culinary school. Not a large menu, but they do a good job with the each item. Almost everything comes with fingerling potatoes. Perhaps a side of mashed potatoes would provide a nice alternative.“

“Easy to book online. From walking in to walking out, everything was wonderful. Hostess greeted us and seated us quickly. Food was served in less than 10 minutes. The waitress did a great job checking back and taking care of us. My mom had the salmon and I had a chicken quesadilla as an appetizer, and a cheesesteak. Both were excellent. The cheesesteak roll was soft and delicious. The the sauce and the cheese steak was perfect, not spicy but just enough zing to let you know it was not an out of the bottle sauce. We will return! Great atmosphere too. Family friendly.“

“My boyfriend and I spent the weekend in LBI and were scouring where to eat on a quiet February night. A Yelp search led us to the Delaware Avenue oyster house. When we walked in you would have thought it was the middle of summer because this place was hoppin! Always a great sign if you ask me. We waited about ten minutes for a table. This restaurant is mostly just a large bar with a few tables near the windows. It's really cozy and has a fun vibe. Everyone was immersed in conversation and looked like they were having a great time. They have a really great menu with plenty of variety. We started with the fish tacos and the crab fried rice. As I write this I'm still dreaming of this crab fried rice....it was THAT good. The couple next to us referred to it as crack fried rice and I can totally see why. So much flavor and a nice amount of crab!! We then finished up with a pizza as true NJ residents do. It was thin and crispy and perfect. I can't wait to come back in the summer! They seem to do some nice happy hour specials so I'm looking forward to giving them a try!“

This is no longer just pub grub that was marginal at best. The new menu is very different and some really great options. New chef making a difference. Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free buns for their hamburgers and have some other gluten free options.“

“My husband, baby and I have been coming in every single month after drill since last October 2022. All of the servers are amazing but Siobhan is our favorite by far. There is always a little disappointment when we aren’t in her section. We came in last night and our 1.5 year old was being super fussy and I was clearly flustered. Right before we left I apologized for my crying baby and Siobhan made it a point to tell me the staff remember us coming in when my baby was teeny tiny (we started coming in when she was 3 months old) and that I should never be embarrassed or feel bad about her crying. We chatted a bit and it was such a sweet interaction it really reiterated why she is our favorite and why we will never stop coming here. They also have the best burgers and wings around!“

“You have to try the ranch fries they come with potato wedges but no get them with regular fries. To much potato with the wedges and takes the other flavors away with just potato. Food is amazing especially the scallops wrapped in bacon, and the seafood bisque. Been coming here for years and will continue with many more years.“
