50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Stone Harbor

“awesome definitely will be back!“

“When I am at the shore and I think seafood, I think Back Bay Seafood. Honestly, best crab cakes I ever had. And let’s not forget the broiled scallops, and stuffed shrimp, and the list goes on! Amazing food, high quality, and excellent customer service. Not to mention, family-owned business that appreciates their customers and are dedicated to providing quality meals, the kind you eat with your friends and family and make those down-the-shore memories. Can’t say enough good things about Back Bay, except I’ll be back real soon!“

“Excellent..everything!! nice waiter too!!“

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

“WoW WoW WoW ! Today was my first time dining here and it certainly won’t be my last. Everything was incredible. Shrimp tempura for a starter and it was outstanding. The salmon dish was out of this world and like no other salmon entrée I have ever had. You will not be disappointed and the service was top notch! Well Done jays on third“

“My family and I have made it a tradition to go to Water Lily the last several years when we visit Stone Harbor. The food is always delicious, it is clean and the people are very warm and welcoming.“

“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 LOVEDDD IT! I was a little nervous about the price of the Mahi Tacos but holy heck- they were INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! We will definitely be back!!!“

“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!“

“We tried Mike’s while on vacation in 2023 and knew we would be back! Worth the drive from OCNJ. Takeout is packed very well and portions are always enough for leftovers. Really like it here!“

“Delicious food. Never disappoints !“

“We ordered the take out and ate in the back along the water. The food was good which is why I didn't get any photos 😅.
The crab cakes are good, but the butterfly shrip with Crab gives you the most bang for your buck IMO. You get 3 large shrimp and each shrimp seems to have 1/2 of a crab cake on it.

The snapper turtle soup was good but very salty.
There are 3 other resturants that share the same seating area so I would check them all out and see which you would like the most.“

“Wish I could go back to the days when "Old Man Menz" and his daughter would serve us his fabulous meals and chat with us. What a family! We ate there soooooo many times and my family just loved it. We went there in the early 70's and 80's . What a place......it was a real experience. THANK YOU, MR. MENZ. You were so special!“

“awesome definitely will be back!“

“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!“

“One word! Delicious! Will be visiting again next year!“

“The best dinner I've ever had! The Grilled Octopus was amazing, the Caesar Salad was awesome...the Scallops were delicious...but the Ricotta, Honey, Almond and Nutella Torte was out of this world! Amy was the best waitress, her attentiveness and service were stellar! We cannot wait to go back!“

“Easy ordering online and pickup. Great directions on how to steam everything and soooo yummy! Get extra shrimp and crab you won't regret it....amazing!“

“The wife and I were out and about and decided to try the Waterside location in Lakewood Ranch Fl. I have to say im a bit of a critic because we have family in Maine and have tasted all ends of the spectrum of lobster rolls from amazing to terrible and this place makes a great Lobster rolls with a spot on price comparable to Maine and other restaurants in the area. The staff member we dealt with was super nice I wish I would have got his name, but I do know he was from Jersey and had great knowledge knew the product well. We had 2 Connecticut rolls and they were great. I would say this place is worth checking out. Theres only outdoor seating, but you can easily walk around waterside and find a spot to kick back and enjoy or walk out enjoy their outdoor seating and it will complement their lobster rolls very well. They also have nice little selection of beers/beverages and a whole N/A fridge too.“

“Joe's Fish Co. is an old vacation favorite of ours. The outdoor seating is comfortable and the service is always prompt and friendly. They're located at the edge of the amusement pier so it can be a little loud at times but it's fun watching kids (and adults) enjoy the rides while you're dining.
On our most recent visit during our June vacation we started with Joe's crab dip. The crab dip or the giant pretzel are our reliable favorite appetizers here and this time the dish was the same as always. It's mellow and crabby and goes well with the chips and bread it's served with.
I ordered the Korean shrimp slider appetizer. The shrimp, the sauce and the slaw were very good. I do wish they had toasted the buns they were served on. They were stone cold and tasted like they'd just been pulled out of a bread bag.
My husband had the shrimp skewer appetizer and thought it was excellent.
The combination of those three appetizers was plenty of food for our dinner.
Joe's is so close to being a fine restaurant that I always wish they'd spice up the menu and pay attention to little things like the bread on the sliders and make it to being as excellent as I think they could be.“

“I stick to two items that never disappoint: the French Onion soup served in a crock and the hot roast beef w/horseradish and au jus for dipping. The onions are caramelized perfectly so they don't get mushy. The roast beef is lean, tender, and flavorful and the fresh horseradish gives plenty of bite. Hasn't changed in 20+ years; comfort food that spans the generation!“

“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.“

“I didn’t get any pics i am so sad about that! First i would like to start off that JoJo was an amazing server. The clams were delicious. We ordered calamari which was extra crispy! My husband had the fried flounder, my daughter had the lobster roll and my son had the lobster grilled cheese. The lobster was delightful but the grilled cheese was outstanding. I had the homemade crabcake! Wow! So Good !!“

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

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

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

“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!!“

“We love Port. Always a great breeze and view at the outdoor bar. Drinks, salads, seafood, oysters, and sushi are just perfect. And, Luke is one of the nicest and friendliest bartenders in the CM area. We will be back.“

“The food is decent but this location is all about where you are seated. Previously we were under the blue awning adjacent to Two Mile Landing and it was awesome. This time we were seated back by the bar in the middle of the deck. Tables were packed tight and people on top of you . Probably the worst outdoor seating area in the entire place. Highly recommend you be specific on where you want to sit instead of just selecting outdoor area as this was awful.“

“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!“

“Great food and beautiful sunsets“

“Our bus tour took us to the Boathouse for lunch and we all agreed it was the best meal of the trip. Fried shrimp was amazing and the staff was very attentive.“

“Awesome bar and atmosphere“

“The vegetarian chicken parmigiana was out of this world and the bruschetta flat bread, perfection. We will be back.“

“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 !“

“My husband and I visited Carmen’s Seafood Restaurant and had a wonderful experience. We ordered the seafood boil which was perfect. Our waitress was very personable and was quite successful in providing us with our food, promptly. The seafood was cooked to our perfection and delicious. Carmen’s Seafood Restaurant rates 100%.“
