“This place is a total gem of south Jersey. Been here for my birthday and came back for brunch the same week. If you are into seafood and love cozy bars this is the place to go. They have raw oyster bar but also there are a lot of cooked options. Their jersey deviled eggs and crab cakes are to die for but all the other options are pretty amazing as well. That being said, parking and seating might be limited during peak hours.“
“Me and my bestfriends favorite spot to eat! WE SWEAR BY THEIR SALADS!!! DELICIOUS!!! Sesame chicken salad is my favorite and it’s worth it! Everytime I come here I buy the dressing to go home with me because it’s to die for!!!! The girl servers are always so sweet to me and my friend because they know us from coming in all the time!“
“AMAZINGGGGG!!! After hearing nothing but excellent things about this restaurant I finally made it and it lived up to all the hype!! Everything was amazing from the time we sat down, staff was very friendly and welcoming and our waitress was so personable and very attentive. All the food was top notch, the crab toast appetizer special on the fabulous sourdough bread was unbelievable, I have never had crab that fresh! Also, I highly recommend the potato app ? I will definitely be back!! Chef came out to ask how everything was, great guy! I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!!!!“
“This morning my husband and I went to Dockside Diner for breakfast. They were busy and full. We sat down at counter and they only had one waitress, one busser/runner and chef. Despite being shorthanded and extremely busy, the staff, service and food that day were incredible. The 3 staff members handled a difficult situation with class, efficiency, hard work, and a warm friendly smile. Kuddos to that staff!!“
“A hidden treasure out of the way but the views of the bay and Atlantic City on the horizon are worth it! The staff friendly and efficient the food fresh and excellent / it is a byo but if you forget the waitress can direct you to the closest liquor store“
“First time here. Very impressed! Very nice restaurant in a small strip mall. Excellent service as well as food. They have a small but varied menu. I ordered the Hanger steak and my wife had the chicken franchise. Delicious! We don't live in the area, but would love to return sometime.“
“I randomly had a delivery order from here, and I hit the jackpot. This food was absolutely amazing. I AM IN HEAVEN. I was not prepared for food this delicious, my taste buds were attacked. Chile relleno, al pastor tacos, elotes, rice and beans. I was in cozumel 5 days ago and this was like I had never left. If anyone needs me, I'll be in a food coma.“
“We ran in on a whim and were greeted with a warm welcome. We ordered a bunch of small plates and they were all delicious- the artichoke were cooked in a lovely sauce, the calamari were fried in a light, spicy sauce and the grilled shrimp had a terrific dipping sauce as well. All were a bit unusual and very tasty. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. A fun vibe and a creative spin on all the dishes. We will definitely return. Thank again!“
“If you love chowder, this should be a must stop location for you. This no frills chowder hut is some of the best in the area. Their New England chowder is honestly some of the best I've ever had. Creamy but not too rich and packed with flavor, it would be a sin to skip out on this. Get it in a bread bowl and it's plenty to share! Who could resist the crusty bread and chowder combo. And don't be deterred with its cold out, you can easily get everything to go!“
“A small spot with counter service, and a few tables outside. This fairly priced, $21 a lobster roll, spot gives you a healthy serving of lobster both claws and tails on a perfectly toasted buttery roll. They have Maine, CT and Mass choices. They created a new category called Rillaioli, a lobster roll with varying state themed offerings. Check out the Texas.The lobster Mac and cheese was creamy, and didn't skimp on the lobster portion.“
“Every year I come to LBI, I have to stop here. They have some of the freshest seafood on the island and the customer service is amazing. Every year I call ahead to see what they got and Marty is always excited to give me the rundown. This year I was specifically looking for cherry stone clams and he explained the history of clams to me so instead of cherry stones, I went with the top necks. I came in and everyone was super pleasant and Marty greeted us with a smile. Give this place a try!My family travels from PA and VA and this is one place we HAVE to go to. Thanks Marty and his team for the continued years of great service & high quality fish.“
“Happy New Year!Enjoyable evening with friends and family for our second New Year's Eve. Robert and his family have always gone out of their way to make our dining experiences special and have had many celebrations at the restaurant. We plan to have many more.“
“Absolutely loved Dune 18! Have been dying to try this restaurant and so glad I did. Everything from the appetizer to dessert was amazing. I couldn't stop talking about the tomato soup and Cacio e Pepe! Service was great and I loved how the owners were present introducing themselves and helped out around the restaurant throughout the night. Excited to go back and try more.“
“Food presentation and taste was wonderful. I was happy to see that they still serve a salad and side dish with the main entree as many restaurants don’t anymore. The restaurant itself was very cute, I do wish it was a bit larger of a space only due to noise. There was a very large party and the people talking/laughing in combination with the acoustics of the room just made it sound extremely loud inside, my husband and I could barely concentrate to talk. It would have been nicer to have the party in a private area, if the restaurant was larger. The staff were all very friendly and kind. Overall we were impressed and will def be back!“
“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 to Black Eyed Susan's and it really was such a delight. The vibe inside was very cozy and inviting, they had a wood fire going in the fireplace, the lights were perfectly dimmed. We were greeted warmly, our coats checked. My drink, the "you had me at aloe," was the prefect blend of fruity and fresh - and the passion fruit pearls atop the drink were so fun - a little burst of flavor! My husband couldn't decide on a wine, and they kindly let him have a small taste of one before he committed - in the end he went with a lovely Sangiovese Red. We left feeling FULL. The prices here are not cheap, but the serving size you get for the price is a good value. We took home portions of our entrees, and the only apps we had were the sour dough bread and olives - of which we also took some home. Typically I don't venture this far north on the island, but for the tasty food and bevies I would make the trip again.“
“First time getting food here and I was not disappointed. I’ve seen them over the years while on vacation and always wanted to try them and so glad I did. We were just grabbing a quick lunch so I opted for a burrito, and chose the Burrito De Mariscos. I have to say it was one of the best, most flavorful burritos I’ve had. The blend of seafood (which was cooked perfectly) with the rice and beans and spices was delicious. And it was big enough to share or get two meals out of it. There was no chips and salsa that you get at some places with takeout, but that wasn’t an issue for me today. I’ll definitely be back to try other things.“
“This place sells by far, the freshest seafood I've purchased in Ocean County. Today I bought and cooked shrimp, monkfish and scallops. The shrimp tasted like shrimp(not iodine) the monkish fish was the freshest I've ever eaten even in restaurants, this monkfish truly tasted like poor man's lobster but not at lobster prices. and the diver scallops were meaty, didn't release any water when cooked. Seafood Treasures is the only place I'll buy fresh seafood at reasonable prices. This place is truly a treasure!“
“Went to Tuckers on Easter and had the most AMAZING bartender ever John!!! He was so tentative and helpful on food recommendations! Everything from his service to the food was excellent! He is a great asset to this business and we will definitely be returning to see him, he makes delicious drinks and was a pleasure to talk to! Bravo to you John and we look forward to our next visit ??“
“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.“
“This Restaurant means so much for my family and I. Ever since the first time that we came here we were hooked! Just alone the atmosphere, the joy and smiles from everyone enjoying the time. An amazing staff that is ready to greet you and cook some really delicious seafood. With good music and drinks what else can you ask for. Thank you for your service, we truly appreciate it. The Padilla Family.“
“Was here last week with ten of us. We all ordered food and everything was spot on. I was surprised that the wait was minimal. My Mahi sandwich was very good. Every bar in lbi is a bit pricey but they only have a 10 week window to make money, so keep it in mind. I ll be back , hopefully soon“
“Definitely one of the top restaurants in Manahawkin/LBI area. My pasta dish was amazing, and service was great. Only downside to this place is it’s not huge and they don’t take reservations. We lucked out and got a front parking spot and table fairly quick. They also have a cool little outside area with a drink truck and a fire pit. This makes the waiting part a lot more bearable (keep in mind we only waited about 15-20 mins anyway). Overall, great experience. Certainly a spot you should try this summer if you’ve never been.“
