Got the crab Mac n cheese for a holiday bbq and everyone loved it! Just delicious! They were running a bit behind on my pick up order (totally understandable on a holiday) and they were super nice to my husband even offering him some fresh baked cornbread to try while he waited. Wonderful food AND customer service.
I ordered through door dash the fish platter, potatoes and lobster bisque. That food was disgusting. I will not order from you ever again

All around scam. The boils are just a gallon of butter. Overpriced junk. Service is unproffesional and takes forever. Owners are out of touch cons. Don’t waste your money.

The service was non existent - we didn’t receive menus until we asked. We also had to ask to order. Simple spaghetti in red sauce was horrible and the boil came out cold. The staff did not seem to care that our food was cold. Not a good experience.

honestly at least half of what we ordered was either over cooked or undercooked, both to the point of being inedible, and i’m not a picky eater. the chowder and lobster roll were ok, but the crabs were mushy and my friend couldn’t even eat 2 of the 3, the fries barely cooked, and the cornbread inedible and pretty much raw. i wanted it to be a great experience and the servers were nice, but unfortunately the food was too hit or miss but mostly miss. do not recommend.

Stopped in for dinner...it was an amazing boil! The place was extremely clean. Staff was so friendly and nice. We loved learning where our food was from (little history lesson). Overall an awesome atmosphere! Anytime we come back to OCNJ we will be back!

Was excited to try this place from all the great reviews, unfortunately I would say nowhere near 5 stars.
Called in to order delivery at 4pm upon opening - was told would be delivered at 5pm (2 single boils and Mac and cheese). 530 I called to get a status and was told “it still hasn’t left for delivery we’re really backed up” and basically was hung up on.
I called back and said i would pick it up. Got there to pick it up at 545 - sat down to eat around 6 and everything was cold, like it was sitting there for over an hour (which I’m sure it was waiting to be delivered) the boil sauces were overly salty, the scallops were spongy, the Mac and cheese has way too much seasoning, and they almost over charged me until i brought it to their attention “oh yeah we will change that price”.
I’m going to assume the experience and taste was due to them being “really backed up”, but not impressed with any of it.

I meant to post this last week. I was in OCNJ with my XC team from Pennsylvania. I have been coming down since 2017 and always craving seafood. Our house we occupy is on Moorlyn Street, very convenient. When I tell you this was the best meal, I absolutely mean it. I ordered the Italian Bucket and asked for a white sauce. They didn’t blink an eye and said yes they could do a butter sauce for me. When I opened the lid my eyes watered with anticipation. My food was delicious!! So glad I finally had the opportunity to eat from this restaurant. Thank you and I cannot wait to come back next year. And no I did not share with my 27 athletes or 3 other coaches in the house ?
