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.

Sabrina was our server tonight and we sat at a 2-top half-booth in the corner of the restaurant. Impressed is an understatement. Sabrina was on top of every request we had, shared the specials (in addition to some insight on the drink and food menus) and made us feel very comfortable dining with her. We took advantage of her drink and food suggestions, which did not disappoint. I overheard her interact with other tables with ease and grace. We ordered a special, fried artichoke over a creamy pesto aioli; absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection! I'd come again specifically for that as well as the Strawberry Basil Lemonade (alcohol is in this). I always enjoy the shrimp and grits every time I come but was pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed the new-to-us dishes we had; deviled eggs, French onion soup and shrimp cocktail. Be patient with any raw bar orders, it comes from a different part of the restaurant and may take longer, but well worth it!

Nothing special about this place. The food is overpriced, some staff members were very unfriendly, and the music was not entertaining since it was being played by average joes. I will not be coming back to this place ever again.

went for all night winter happy hour. listened to some live music, $6 wines and the fried oyster royale was awesome. the oscar fries were good as well but the sauce was kind of soupy. If they made a more traditional thicker hollandaise, it would be a 10.

Awesome place to have a great meal and drinks. Service is good but a little slow for drinks. Not the servers fault. But it’s a busy place year round. Food is very good. They have great specials.

Just finished my third visit to this LBI area local favorite and we were not dissappointed. This is a wonderful tavern, steakhouse, seafood, oyster bar and almost anything else in between type of restaurant. It has an amazing menu that is well put together, with wide variety, and includes daily food and oyster specials. Every day they have great oyster specials and their soups and chowders are top notch. I have mainly come here for their steaks which I believe are the best in the area, but their sandwiches, appetizers and salads have all been fantastic. The steaks are nice size, juicy and tender, they come with a choice of sauces and I enjoyed their chimichurri. Sides are ala cart but, their homemade fries and mash potatoes were perfect additions. Leave room for dessert because this has some wonderful choices, try the ones with the locally made ice cream. Service is friendly and professional and this place is always crowded, I don’t how you get in here in the summer.
