40 Best Seafood Restaurants near Stone Harbor

“Thank you for an amazing memorable birthday dinner. A true gem of Stone Harbor.“

“My wife and I really enjoyed dinner. We had fish tacos that were absolutely fantastic.“

“Everything was perfect!! Food was outstanding! Service was fantastic. Very chill atmosphere. I highley recommend.“

“We were down the past couple of weekends in North Wildwood, stopped at one of our favorites and got great-sized Maryland crabs the one weekend and, then, last night some clams & lobster tails. Always a pleasure seeing the staff. Always fast & friendly“

“Need to give a shoutout to Son of a sailor. We went for the first time tonight and we were blown away by the hot lobster rolls. Best we have had. Crazy amount of meat and super tasty, perfectly cooked! Don’t hesitate to try it. Amazing!! 🦞can’t wait to go back!“

“Up front, I have to say I am biased about L.H. in Cape May, lol. I LOVE this place...partly for its oldskool vibe, the perfectly prepared Lobster every time, the amazing fresh yummy bread, & their stewed tomatoes. I have heard people say they were not impressed...but if anything is ever imperfect for me, its been some of the people working there. As a handicapped individual who uses a mobility scooter, I find some people are not as accommodating as others and their disdain of my condition gives them a resting B face. I'm sorry my handicap ♿️ makes them feel uncomfortable. I don't mind being relegated to an obscure corner as long as my food is wonderful and it always is. My last visit was extra nice...a woman steered me in the direction of the larger ladies room in the back, where although that DR was closed, I was allowed use of it. Sooo much easier than the front LR. Maybe the staff is getting nicer. I think most of the time, this place is hopping!!! Which can sometimes make employees stressed, so I give them that. I have had lovely experiences & not-so-much....but always, my food is awesome!“

“Charming restaurant with friendly staff and excellent food. The menu has traditional dishes and comfort food. I loved how cozy the dining area was with plush booths and etched glass. I came here specifically for The Crab Au Gratin, something I rarely see on menus these days. I highly recommend pairing it with pasta in a butter garlic sauce. My husband said the fish and chips were excellent and we just came back from the UK. They had a nice kids menu and my son enjoyed the fried shrimp. The pricing was reasonable for a shore town. It's located between stone harbor and cape may. We'll return again!“

“Worst experience of my life! I had my micro wedding here and was charged for things I didn't get. No drinks were verbally offered they just had a separate table with pitchers of water on it. We paid $100 extra to have a table set up with lemonade and or iced tea pre ceremony. I was supposed to be able to set up my wedding favors on this table as well. The seafood dish was supposed to have scallops in it and we noticed they omitted them. In the private beach area where we were supposed to have our ceremony they had an event going on up to 15 minutes before my ceremony. They had picnic tables alongside the ceremony just overlaping and pushed against the fence I had to ask them to move so they would not be in my pictures. I had barely any time to set up decorations. The air-conditioning was broke supposedly in the whole restaurant they could not even provide fans so my guests were very hot and uncomfortable. The upstairs was supposed to be our rain plan but we asked if we could have everything up there and the GM would not allow us to move to the upstairs that was air-conditioned and not being used but I was allowed to change into my dress upstairs. We were told it cost more to have it upstairs. I felt like considering the air conditioner not working they should have moved us. Honestly I could go on and on but I'm too exhausted! I felt like I missed out on a lot of photo opportunities and moments bc of how hot and uncomfortable everyone was!“

“Stopped by to pick up some shrimp for my first attempt at a seafood boil and this place had everything super fresh and the price was lower than we expected for Jersey Shore. Ended up getting 4 pounds of peeled shrimp, 2 bags of crab legs/claws and fried flounder sandwiches that were also delicious. Our boil turned out amazing all of our guests raved about it. Could have even gotten all of our produce here if we wanted to they had everything.“

“every year my extended family and i go ( 20+ people) here during the summer and the service is amazing. the seafood here is amazing along with all their other food. I remember coming here as a kid and having a great time playing in a sandbox they had. I recommend lobster, crab, and chicken parm.“

“Simply amazing! Perfect food, service and view. The best restaurant at the Jersey shore.“

“We order dinner from here each time we visit Avalon. We love that we can call in the afternoon & arrange a time for pickup. Everything we’ve had has been very good & hot! We all look forward to “seafood night” from Avalon Seafood!!“

“food was absolutely amazing, staff was kind, and attentive but not annoyingly over. Definitely will be back when we come back to avalon“

“Food is great, awesome salad bar and amazing service“

“our server, jennifer, was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, efficient and one of the best servers i ever had. Sean, the manager and sommelier was so knowledgeable about wine and gave us great a recommendation on an exquisite bottle of wine, which paired perfectly with our dinner. this restaurant surpassed our expectations“

“This is the spot if you are looking for great food and a family friendly atmosphere! The food was perfect, zero issues. This is the spot you want to spend your hard earned money, a family business. The highlight was talking to Joe and his wife. He is surrounded by his family and it shows that he is proud that they are all working together and serving a great product. This will be our new spot when we come on vacation! See you next year Joe!“

“Awesome bar and atmosphere“

“Great food and beautiful sunsets“

“Hi I want to sing my praises to two of your waitresses that went above and beyond during our meals while vacationing in Wild Woods. Our first Experience and 2nd we had the pleasure of having “Niki” and truly we could not ask for better service than she offered,her tone,her understanding and the way she treated my toddler is immeasurable and the small details that were paid attention to were not found in other establishments we tried. I hope she knows how valued and appreciated she is by our family! We stopped in for one last meal before heading back to MD and we were cared for. A waitress I don’t re call a name but long curly hair,and a smile that lit up a room and was welcoming,her table side manner was fantastic she joked with us and also treated my daughter remarkably well where again other establishments frowned upon her questions or acted as she wasn’t talking. Furthermore,Noticing the whole atmosphere was a fantastic vibe, Everyone was smiling and working as a team. Can’t wait to return !“

“Great dinner waitresses were great fast service excellent meal“

“We visit the surfing Pig every time we are down here! Fabulous restaurant right on the bay. We have beautiful sunset pictures!
Went Friday night they were able to accommodate our party of 13 very easily. Ordered a few different starters for the table. my friend loved the raw oysters and bang shrimp. We enjoyed everything from crab cakes to grilled chicken to the Halibut special and the ribs. We all enjoyed our meals and will most definitely be back again!“

“The servers and managers are not educated with what's in the food. Got sick after going to Oar House Pub and the server saying they have a gluten option for the burgers when they don't. Ended up in the hospital and manager Amy C. can't even say simple sorry and is just an argumentative person. The person below was our server“

“Very much enjoyed my delicious order of Singapore noodles and pork fried rice. The owner is very sweet and friendly also. Will be back to dine-in soon!!“

“I grew up near the Chesapeake Bay and can tell you that Canal Side does crabs right. Their own seasoning blend is very good and they sell bags of it. The local crabs are just a bit smaller on average than Chesapeake crabs but that's ok, their flavor is great! 🦀“

“My friends and I had been wanting to try Provence, and it surpassed our expectations. Upon arrival, we were taken in by the stunning decor and historical architecture and character. LOVE the exquisite wallpaper throughout!
We decided on the 3 course meal and were in awe of the presentation, immersed in the delectable flavors, and impressed with the portion sizes. Many of us took home leftovers. All 6 of us were very pleased with our meals. I highly recommend Provence!“

“Great customer service first of all and let me tell you about the food! The Maryland crab soup is flavorful and delicious, you know your eating crab soup. And next stuffed shrimp w/ crab imperial and stuffed mushrooms are great tasting. Also bacon wrapped scallops are a hit, try w/ sweet chili sauce. The lobster roll sandwich is made to perfection. Delicious!And to top it all off key lime pie & peanut butter cake were fantastic.“

“Love the location in Townsend Inlet and close to the beach. Spacious and clean condo with room to spread out with our group. Can catch the jitney to the bars and other restaurants.“

“Andrea Trattoria catered our wedding in Sea Isle on 9/24/2022. The food was absolutely amazing! It was without a doubt the best buffet we've ever experienced. Tino worked with us to make sure we had a wide variety of apps, salads, and entrees. We requested Gulf shrimp and he was able to make that happen for us! Thank you, Tino and team at Andrea Trattoria!“

“Great meal and service by Gina. The pumpkin raviolis were incredible and light.“

“Hidden Gem in Wildwood Creat. Fantastic food and great service. The prices are not high for the quality food and the amount of food you get. 👍“

“One of our favorite restaurants [Original] One of our favorite restaurants“

“best bar on the island and cheapest drinks“

“Hey Joe, a ship is only as good as it’s Captain,, and you are one fine Captain. The Bayville Long Island Senior group visited your restaurant on Monday December 1,2025. The Christmas decor was festive and put us all in the holiday spirit. The food was delicious and the wait service was courteous and very efficient. But the highlight of our visit was the entertainment you shared with us. Singing Christmas carols, old time favorites and of course the very funny jokes you told. All made for a memorable night of Christmas joy, good food and fabulous hospitality. I will be sharing our experience with all my friends. The next time we are in the vicinity, you can count on a visit. Sincerely Bob G, Vice President of the Bayville L.I. Senior Center ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Service was poor . Food was good was over priced they changed 3% for using a card“

“Local neighbors have been recommending the Blue Water Grille for some time now, so I decided to give them a try tonight for dinner. Upon walking into the restaurant, I was greeted by a pleasant hostess and brought to our table.

After pursuing the dinner menu as well as the Saturday Night Specials menu, both my dinner partner and I started with the bacon wrapped scallops appetizer. We were pleasantly surprised to receive 6 large scallops completely wrapped in bacon and cooked to perfection. It's hard to keep a juicy, tender scallop yet have perfectly crispy bacon.

For our dinners, we ordered the Ribs Special both with the Maryland Crab soup du jour, a baked potato, grilled asparagus for him and brandy carrots for me. These were some of the best ribs I've had outside of a BBQ restaurant. I could not believe how large the portions were despite the price of $20.

I will definitely be returning to the Blue Water Grille in the future!“

“Great meal and friendly service. would recommend this place to everyone.“

“Good food and good service and amazing staff“

“We celebrated our 53rd anniversary there tonight. They could not have been nicer to us. They treated us to a very special evening. Balloons at the table and complimentary champagne. They also treated us to a dessert of our choice. The food was delicious. I think we found our new favorite restaurant.“

“Nice open space to spend time with family and friends. Casual. Inside and outside seating. Drinks are a little pricey (but it's Avalon) and there is a 2hr parking limit (street meters). We had finger food and drinks and had a great time sitting at the humongous and beautiful bar.“
