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

“In my humble opinion, I must state that my total experience at this “Exceptional Restaurant “ was 10 STARS! The staff greeted when I arrived with a smile and I must admit that the CRAP TRAP has a philosophy of making sure you will have an individual who is a Professional who will advise you and answer any questions about their “SUPERIOR” menu! Our waitress never missed a beat when it came to advising me the in her opinion, I should choose their famous Crab Cake that was stuffed with crab and no fillers! One thing that you will observe, their salad was so fresh and the rolls & muffins were homemade & hot! You have several choices of side dishes & I selected the apple sauce that had to be prepared in house, and the frech fries were crispy and also seasoned perfectly! Our table was spotless, and the whole restaurant had a staff who never rushed you, but was always there to refill you water! I have dined in 5 Star Restaurants on my vacations & business trips, and all I must state is for being my 1ST Visit to the CRAP TRAP, I plan to make it a weekly location and a priority on my “Schedule”! I have wanted to dine there before, but I can add there parking lot suggested that there was a long wait, When I entered, I was so impressed by the size of the inside accommodation! I must apologize for my velours review, but I truly feel that this restaurant is a “GEM”“

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

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

“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.“

“The food, drinks and service here is excellent! The restaurant is one of the best at the Jersey shore. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a nice place to go with your family or friends. A⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food was great! Really good sized portions and everything was fresh! Can’t wait to order again from there!“

“I brought my 3 generational family (party of 8) for our nice family meal, along with my service dog. We had a fantastic experience! First, we got there around 4:45, and unknowingly found out that you get a free side salad and drink if seated before 5pm. This cut about $25 off the bill, which was a blessing! The food was good and the atmosphere fantastic. At the end, we chatted with the owner, Mr Giuseppe, and even got to take a family pic of 8 with him outside the restaurant. Thank you so much for such a great family meal!“

“crab imperial was delicious“

“While vacationing in Ocean City with my family I stopped by to grab something for dinner one night. Ordered the Mega Colossal Crab Cake, Shrimp and Crab Roll Up, and Lobster Bisque. Everything was delicious. The owner Chris was a super-nice guy as well. If I lived in the area I would be a regular customer at Capt'n Chucky's.“

“Went with Friends for a Late Lunch @ Gregory’s Restaurant Yesterday 12/12….Our Meals were Fantastic….Great Job Chef Ryan ‼️‼️“

“Steve and Cookies is our go-to for special occasions! We just had my husband’s 40th birthday dinner and it was delicious as always with a kind and efficient waitstaff. Will always recommend!“

“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!“

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

“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 !!“

“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.“

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

“I have to start with our server Cory! We could not have asked for better service! Very attentive, very helpful and just a very kind all around friendly guy! He was awesome!!
Had the lobster roll sandwich, which was outstanding and a lobster bisque, which was also delicious!
We had the homemade cheesecake for dessert and it was probably the best cheesecake I’ve ever eaten!
All around it was a perfect birthday lunch!“

“Great dinner waitresses were great fast service excellent meal“

“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.“

“Great place to view the water and have good food limited menu, but still very good“

“Awesome bar and atmosphere“

“Very nice new addition to the Ocean City NJ boardwalk. I had the New England clam chowder as well as a fried fish sampler and it was very good. The price was also reasonable as well.

The staff were friendly and accurate.“

“A great place to go at the Jersey shore. The staff and customer service is excellent not to mention the food. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Custard was pretty good. We wanted to go to a la mode but the line was wrapped around the building at 9:30 so we figured we’d try something new.

We got gelaties and custard.

-4 flavors of water ice & 2 flavors for custard…chocolate and vanilla.

It’s CASH ONLY.

Water ice is chunky and not like a Rita’s but still good! It works for a quick treat.“

“We were there for a birthday celebration on Sunday. We were seated so we could see the water. (The scenery of the water is very relaxing!) I would call for reservations but expect to wait. Your reservation will help if there are many walking in to dine. It was jam packed when we arrived-- excellent deal!The food was good and the portions were excellent for 3 courses for 25 dollars on Sunday from 1-4pm. Definitely, have the crabcake and the turkey meal. It was not sliced deli meat! I would suggest you ask your meal be piping hot when it arrives at your table. The bread pudding was excellent with hot caramel sauce. Our waiter Giovanni was very good! Thanks, Giovanni! Tuckahoe Inn, I've already told my friends about your excellent deal!“

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

“We have been here several times. The food is delicious. Spouse has gluten allergy and the staff is EXTREMELY careful and hand deliver her meal separately. She has NEVER had an issue. Mac and cheese and pulled pork is her favorite. Tonight a vacationing family was dining in. A young man ordered a sandwich that had the kitchen sink on it. It was fun to watch him try eating it. He was 1/2 way done before we left. But was slowing down. I hope he made it. The staff is always top notch and it’s a fun place to relax and have great food. Try them. You won’t be disappointed.“
