“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“We had the Topsail Steamer tonight and it was amazing. We live part time in Hilton head, Sc and low country boils are huge. I never had one better then Topsails. Everyone agreed and we can’t wait till our next boil.“

“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.“

“Always excellent! Seafood at its best. Service is tops.“

“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.“

“We had an excellent seafood lunch - stuffed shrimp & Grouper. Highly recommend the fresh seafood. We stopped at the Welcome Center and Spadafora’s was their recommendation and they weren’t wrong!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 !!“

“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!“

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

“Best clams in the damn world. So fresh so tasty , this place really delivers it's closed until the next beach season 😭 but if your down there next summer do not even consider missing this place . Everything we had was excellent and very affordable. It gets crazy packed so get there before they open or expect a little wait“

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“

“Jessica is the epitome of a true bartender. Friendly, attentive, and always one step ahead with a refill, she kept the energy upbeat and welcoming all evening. During Happy Hour she was the only bartender working for quite a while, yet she handled the crowd with ease and kept the entire bar running smoothly. Her personality, professionalism, and hustle made the experience exceptional. Jessica is the real deal!“

“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%.“

“Everything is delicious 😋“

“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.“

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

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

“Highly recommend this place because the people working there are so friendly and helpful. I called everywhere for Crabs!! was even told by another place. They had some and they didn’t but Mike seafood in Ocean City did! When I arrived, they were packed and ready to go, and I will be coming back here every year!“
