50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Woodbury Heights

“Hidden gem! Have lived in oak valley for over two years and finally decided to give pizza City a shot. I'm upset I didn't do it sooner. This is GREAT authentic Italian pizza, goes toe to toe with the other local greats. This will be my new go-to pizza place.Unfortunate location, but if they've stayed in business all these years they're clearly doing something right.“

“I had snapper soup there. It was an 11 out of a possible 10. My wife had New England clam chowder it is (her score system) a 10 out of 10. Best ever. Unfortunately, they do not currently have snapper soup. Missing the old Bookbinder too. Signed, Old Philadelphia natives.“

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!“

“We found Pearl and Mary quite by accident while looking for out door seating so as to enjoy a beautiful Philadelphia evening. And we were not disappointed. Location; perfect, food; perfect, service; exemplary...doesn't get any better👍🏻“

“Peyton, our server was the best. Really looked out for us. Took great care of us on my birthday. Beautiful restaurant.
Our Manhatten and old fashioned were great.
Rib eye was delish. Chilean sea bass had the best soy glaze.
Save room for desserts. What we tried were fabulous. Raspberry sorbet so yummy.“

“The Food was Fresh ad Incredible“

“IT WAS DELICIOUS! Definitely worth the trip and price! I will be back!“

“Fresh seafood, all of it is amazing 5 ⭐️“

“You probably won't have high expectations when you roll up to this place as it isn't fancy, but don't judge a book by its cover. I made the horrible mistake of eating at Pat's the other day, and the meat tasted like shoe leather. This little joint served up a perfectly seasoned hot cheesesteak and a great milkshake - I'll definitely be back.“

“As a travel agent, food is important to me. I not only book for my clients, but I also make restaurant recommendations and WOW!!!!!! This place is it 😍😍😍 I took many photos last night of the food, the atmosphere felt as though I was not in Philadelphia, but far away on a perfect vacation dining at an amazing restaurant. I'm going to post my photos on my business page, people, if you want Greek food, THIS IS YOUR PLACE ☺️ Thank you for a wonderful hospitality and an amazing time my fiance and I will never forget.“

“The bartender, Colin Krouse, was AWESOME!!“

“Great food!! It never disappoints.“

“Good food. Good customer service.“

“Waitress was very knowledgeable about the cuisine. Other staff were friendly and courteous. Food was excellent, tastes wonderful and plated beautifully. The interior might remind you of an old time elegant railroad car with curved ceiling, crystal chandeliers, etc. great place for special occasions.“

“Loved this omakase experience. Very reasonably priced and all of the fish was excellent and fresh. More simple dishes and less of a show than others I have gone to which I personally prefer. Felt genuine like a secret hole in the wall. Will be going again“

“Always fresh seafood and definitely tasty!💯👌🏾“

“This is our second time coming as a family (this time for my brother's birthday) and we love it! The food is delicious and the service is great, will definitely look forward to coming again!“

“The shrimp smd the crab devil eggs was delicious 😋“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“Food is fresh. Food is delicious. Prices are Reasonable, I Truly hope that does not change. Customer service is good, pleasant. Our family orders roughly about 1 time a week since we found this place about 2 months ago. 3 combos please! Lol We are definitely repeat Customers.“

“Everything was amazing. The food was great, the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Tye Emmons was fabulous! Great place to dine. Will be back soon.“

“Everything from the food to the service“

“We had such a fantastic experience at Illata in Philadelphia! From start to finish, everything felt special, and a big part of that was our amazing waitress, Mary — she was attentive, warm, and really elevated the whole evening with her thoughtful service.

The menu offered some unexpected surprises, and the standout for us was the carrot dish. It was hands down the highlight of the night — it almost felt like a savory take on carrot cake, rich and flavorful in the most delightful way. The trout was a pleasant surprise too; it leaned more toward the texture and richness of salmon, and honestly, it was one of the best fish dishes we’ve had in a while.

And we can’t forget the desserts — they absolutely blew us away. The rhubarb tart was perfectly balanced, and the chocolate cake was decadent without being too heavy. A perfect ending to a memorable meal!

We’ll definitely be back — already booked our next reservation.“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“Finally went and boy it was worth it!!! Came from Zerlin (Berlin NJ) and got the chicken hoagie with fries. I have no idea how they keep that roll so flavorful and juicy! The chicken was to die for and perfectly seasoned! I hope you are in Zamden again Friday even though it’s going to be a rain soaker.“

“We dined at Max’s last evening for Valentine’s Day. The special four course menu had a variety of options and the food was cooked to perfection. The place was full, yet the service remained professional and upbeat. We will definitely be back soon!“

“I really wish I could give a stellar review because the food is absolutely fabulous here. Not to mention, they will modify anything on the menu to food specifications, for instance for me who can't have gluten, eats only seafood and no cheese. Yes, they work with this with ease and everything is delicious.

The reason I can't give an amazing review is because having gone twice now, the first time our service was excellent and the second time more recently the service was very poor. Our food came out at different times to the table and as a group of four it was very disruptive. Also, many tables were turned over before we even got half way through our meal. I'm not sure what happened to be honest. I will say this was not our experience the first time we went and given how amazing the food is we will try it again.

The response from the owner that he would reach out was completely false. It is over 2 weeks now and I have heard nothing. For me, the irony was I was actually planning to come back out. But now…. ?‍♀️.

Dietary restrictions: They will modify any item on the menu to meet your needs. They are very good with handling gluten concerns particularly.“

“Sell cooked food and a seafood store“

“Had Friday dinner out with friends!
Pricey but overall a good experience!
The restaurant is on the 3rd floor. There is an elevator going straight to the restaurant.
Spacious and family friendly.
Wheelchair accessible.“

“This is the place where you get super fresh delicious southern style seafood with reasonable price. BTW, a very friendly, harding working couple who runs this super clean, well organized seafood market.

Yesterday, after watching a YouTube video, my wife and I decide to drive one hour visit this place, and it proof worth the driving... the fly whiting and steam shrimp are super delicious, haven't had such nice seafood, since I left New Orlean a decade ago.“

“Corner lot, limited parking. Seating for 4 or 6 at the tables available. To go was easy to order and seems like they do a lot of door dash from the location. Food was hot after the drive home and seasonings are great, went with the medium selection for the boil. Very friendly staff.“

“Excellent Happy Hour!!! Will definitely dine here again!!“

“S & J Seafood is a delightful seafood haven tucked away in the vibrant heart of Philadelphia. This unassuming gem has become a local favorite. Picture this: crispy chicken wings, succulent jumbo shrimp, and mouthwatering seafood platters that transport you straight to the coast. The staff at S & J Seafood is like family—they know your name, your order, and they greet you with a smile. And let’s talk about value: generous portions of good-tasting food that won’t break the bank. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or indulging in a seafood feast, S & J Seafood is where flavor meets community.“

“Literally one of my favorites in Philly, Bistro Southeast never disappoints! I have eaten here too many times to not have written a review yet. The food is always flavorful, fresh, and hot. What I like most is that it is always consistent and the portions are sizable. The crab fried rice is my favorite item on their menu but everything I’ve tried has been amazing. The wings are crispy and well seasoned, the salads are refreshing and feeling, the mango sticky rice is the perfect balance of sweet and savory…I’ve tried other dishes as well, just too many to list haha! In addition to the food, the service is great. The staff is always so friendly, they play apart in how frequently I eat there as well. I don’t have any pictures of my food because when I remember to take them my food is already half gone.“

“Great experience all you can eat“

“My husband and I went here for dinner tonight. We got the Stake and Crab special with garlic mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus. Everything was delicious. The stakes were done perfect and my husband really liked the crab cake too!“

“We celebrated my mother’s birthday at Kunkle’s last evening. We were a party of 7. Everything was amazing! All of us tried different dishes and just had to share with each other to show them how good each dish was. From the burger that our 15 year old devoured to the steaks and seafood entrees the rest of us enjoyed, everything was perfect. The calamari may very well be the best I have ever tasted. The desserts were to die for! This may have been our first visit but most definitely will not be our last.“

“Absolutely delicious 😋! I had the shrimp and the cheesesteak tacos 🌮. The platters never made it home 🏠. I ate them in the car. Everything was fresh and the prices were very reasonable. This place is a hidden gem in Upper Darby and needs more exposure. I left reviews on Facebook and Tik tok because I had to let everyone know about them after I learned about them on JL Jupiters channel.. please try them! They definitely won’t disappoint. You may wait for a little while but it’s worth the wait 😋“

“We took dear friends out for their 60th anniversary. Everything was terrific from the time we walked in and they placed a "Happy Anniversary" sign on our table to the very end. Terrific servers and we all thought our meals were delicious. Can't wait to return.“

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“First time trying this restaurant. As someone who has lived in Turkiye (Iskenderun, Bornova and Ilica/ Cesme) Their food was amazing! We ordered the lahmacun, a cheese pide and shepherds salad. We ordered online and had very quick and free delivery. Tasted just as good as I remembered. Will definitely order again and will eat at restaurant. Teşekkür ederim!“

“Pleasantly suprised by this place! I was able to call and get a dozen crabs cooked in 15 minutes. They texted when it was ready and it was an easy pickup! It’s winter so the crabs weren’t heavy but they were VERY FRESH and seasoned well. I will definitely go back“

“We held an 80th birthday party at Verona. The service was top notch and owners beyond accommodating. The guests said they want to come back! The clams casino is my favorite. The outdoor seating is great.“

“The food is always fresh and good I have been going Here for YEARS in the food is always good in fresh in the price is always reasonably price in you get a lot of food for your money ...The man behind the courter is always nice in friendly.....“

“I love the whole crabs sautéed in butter garlic. They are delicious. When I come in they know who I am and how I like my crabs(I'm in that often....lol). They are very courteous and will fix any mistakes made with your order. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.“

“It's your average Hood Deli. Breaded chicken wings are to die for. No thrills, but always FRESH. Mother and Father own and run the business. Both can be a little brash but overall it's a good place to get a quick bite that isn't expensive. Never ever have to worry about the food not being fresh either.“

“True hospitality! I arrived last night after evacuating from Florida. Kenja and the executive chef brought me to tears because of the hospitality, warmth and concern for me and the people of Florida. 🫶🏼. This is what a high end restaurant is supposed to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.“
