50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Bristol

“Decent selection of fresh fish as well as cooked seafood platters. They are helpful and good at estimating how much I will need. I often order uncooked fish to go, but this week my dad had breaded shrimp with onion rings and fries for lunch. He said the fries were very good, but shrimp was overcooked. I like that you can get cans of Pepsi since other vendors sell only Coke products.“

“Wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. Seafood tower the best part of this $300 meal for 3. Their mussels were good, but had better. Their red fish was delicious. Their keylime pie went in the garbage. Our salads came after the meal, Ceasars with bread crumbs no croutons and definitely no anchovy, which i find odd for a seafood place. I dine out quite a bit, this was mediocre at best. Wont be going back. Would consider it if they had a liquor license just for the tower.“

“Langhorne location always satisfies. Our lunchtime server Sam was friendly, personable, and funny. We chatted about neices and nephews and family. He offered great drink recommendations based on our preferences and was attentive throughout the meal. We got the trout and seabass, cooked perfectly. Their fall season menu specials - highly recommend the saucy shrimp appetizer. We will be back.“

“Love this place. Been to JA 30xs & this place does make authentic for real. Rice & peas are sooooo freakn good. I'm a veg & I love their cabbage & scotch bonnet. Candied yams perfect. Love the woman that always helps us she's very good @ her job. So fresh & my hubby's jerk chicken smelled so fresh white meat with charred edges from the grill.“

“I love this place. it has everything. I go there and, I can't help but buy everything I see. I especially love the huge blue crabs they carry and the fact that they cook the seafood there is an added bonus. thank you so much for everything you do.“

“I miss this place“

“Food was so FRESH! Tyler's service was AMAZING!“

“I am a repeat customer and while I loved their chicken from the beginning, they have really improved their technique since my last visit. Their chicken is SOOO tender and flavorful, it’s actually unbelievable. You can tell the owner cares about customer satisfaction and product quality. Who makes chicken like this now?? Clean, fresh, tender, flavorful, it’s the best grab-n-go meal.“

“The food was amazing. Seasoned to perfection with just the right amount of everything. I had the fried fish, mac n cheese and collard greens. My husband had the fried fish, potatoe salad and peas and rice. He cant stop talking about it. Can't wait to return and try something else on the menu. Over fifty years of perfection.“

“What a great night with attentive hosts and great friends. Delish food and attentive hosts made this night super fun. And the drinks just kept flowing. Thanks Nicole and Fred. Love what you are doing here and Can’t wait to come back.“

“We love their Seafood Salad. Today I bought their homemade Tuna Salad. It is delicious and so fresh. Better than making my own!“

“Best Italian Food in All of Trenton/Mercer County“

“Nissi’s is fantastic every time I go! Crabs are meaty and delicious, and the sauces are fantastic!! Nissi is super sweet and friendly! I have ordered crabs cooked and cleaned in her sauce and also just took them home live. Either way, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Checked out Crab Du Jour in Lumberton last night and it was excellent. It seems like a chain as there are a few around, but most likely franchised. I was hesitant to try them because reviews on google were very mixed, and there's nothing worse than seafood that isn't fresh. I am so glad we did.This is one of those cajun style steamer bag seafood places. The Lumberton location is an "xpress" and primarily takeout, but there are a handful of booths for eating in. Decorated in a cute nautical theme with fishing nets, old license plates, anchors etc. A sweet older Asian couple were running the place. The place was impeccably clean, both the storefront area and what I could see of the kitchen in the back, always a good sign.We opted to eat our food there while it was hot and fresh. We ordered 3 create your own combos, select your seafood, sauce, and spice level. We all went with garlic butter sauce. We did 1 LB of spicy snow crab legs, 1LB mild crab legs, and a mixed bag 1/2 LB lobster tail and 1/2 LB scallops. Each bag included a couple red potatoes and 2 half ears of corn.Crabs were cooked perfectly, juicy, slid right out of the shells and the sauce was super flavorful. We liked the spicy version a bit better and would probably ask to mix garlic butter and old bay in the future. But the lobster and scallops? BOYYYYY. Let me just say I NEVER order these items out because I find them consistently disappointing. Scallops are always small, both tend to be overcooked and lacking flavor. That was not the case! There were 6 huuuuge scallops, again perfectly cooked. Even drenched in the garlic butter you could still taste that unique clean sweetness of a quality sea scallop. And this was genuinely the best lobster tail I've ever had. So so tender, none of the overcooked chewy lobster business here. Potatoes and corn were also good, definitely using fresh ears of corn not frozen. We also had a side of fries, which were they type with a very light tempura like batter. Hot and crispy, would get those again too.We washed it down with a variety of specialty Asian teas and sodas they sell in the beverage case. Food was served with a bucket for shells , a pair of gloves each, and a full package of baby wipes ? Both the lady at the counter and the man cooking checked on us several times. They were very kind, there is a slight language barrier so be patient when ordering please!Overall 10/10. Highly recommend this place, especially for enjoying a mess-free seafood boil on the patio at home in the coming months.“

“Briana our server was just the best our food was great one dish I had pasta with broccoli rabe sausage was not that good everything else was superb again service here is top notch i just say enough good about other then can't wait to go back again“

“Chesser fries season steam all fried &seasoned garlic seafood is to die for. The marginaded Season crab shrimp etc is pricey but well worth it. They do sell the season and the garlic butter that but the icing on the cake that gives them there signal taste. But the key is to marinade your seafood over night at least two days for a better outcome. Enjoy I always do.“

“What Amazing food and staff!“

“As much as it cost for blue claw crabs cleaned, not 100 % butter, and garlic you think the packaging would be better, lately they packaged a brown paper bag no plastic bag over the brown bag in presenting to you with leakage of butter at the bottom of bag which your car will smell like garlic with dripped butter. Appearance is the professional way for a good business, and Norman take criticism for improvement.“

“Old time set up very good food, very reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Can’t go wrong. Hush puppies Rock.“

“delicious food with a beautiful view. I had the Halibut last night and it was amazing!!!“

“Hadn't gone to this establishment in years, but definitely will be returning more often. Great price for the amount of food we received. Friendly staff as well.“

“No words!! My mouth is full!“

“Steve, hurry and open. Best seafood ever. Really miss the fried flounder. We’re waiting patiently! Joe and Joan“

“Absolutely amazing! Recommend them to everyone. Found them because they were close by to my work now we use them for catering , lunch on a weekly basis and I tell all my friends and family. Rene and all the employees are so kind and welcoming! The food is always great and I have loved everything from there. Pizza, chicken cutlets, sandwiches.“

“Stopped in today for Father's Day , my father in law is an Alzheimer's patient in the later stages and down to 10 minute loops, Miss Elissa was amazing in how she adjusted to communicating with him and making this a day fully enjoyable, needless to say, service and food was top notch.“

“first time eating there and the food was so good. will definitely be going back.“

“Great place to eat and hang with friends“

“We had the a celebration of life the other day here. We had the best food. Everyone loved the food. The staff was amazning. The view is beautiful. I always forget to go here for dinner. I will go soon!“

“Food is delicious and we had the best service ever there!!“

“Good food and great service!!“

“First time trying Bobby, have driven by the place numerous times. Never had a chance to try it out until today.

Most complaints are typically geared towards their hours- this isn’t a restaurant per say but a fine deli. Usually their hours are until 6pm, they do take phone orders, so if you can get there before 6 it’s definitely worth it.

Now to the food….

Crab Cakes - their specialty, their fame.. absolutely delicious, fresh crab meat , no fishy taste or odor ?. Generous heaping of crab meat, fried fresh ate within minutes. You really can’t compare these to frozen ones, as those are usually filled with bread.

Stuffed chicken was delicious, nice crisp, not as much chicken but good mix of stuffing of veggies spinach, artichoke , the side gravy definitely enhances the flavor.

Mac n cheese was good creamy , great add-on to my lunch meal.

Most Food is cold and raw , they will fry and heat food on your behalf, but this can take 10-15 minutes. Keep that in mind if your on a tight schedule, order ahead.

Staff was absolutely friendly, definitely hard workers, giving the brand a positive view!

Place was very clean and well kept.

Only knock will be Diet Coke tasted like seltzer, wish they were on top of the fountain machines!“

“Found this place randomly in passing and wow. Such a great atmosphere, very clean, the menu was extensive and had a something for everyone. The prices were great and the quality of food would make Gordon Ramsey proud. If I could give more stars, I would. Great job.“

“made another trip today. this time at St Luke's Anderson. had our usual amaine Lobster roll and bowl of clam chowder. DELICIOUS“

“Shout to Chocolate love you sweetheart!!! Always do me right with your sweet and kind spirit“

“We love that we are able to sit outside as well as bring our dog. Good food, cold beer and friendly staff along with being close to home. Can’t ask for more!!?“

“We dined at Capital Grille in Newtown. The meal was incredible but the desserts were perfection! Chef Jen made the best coconut cream pie I have ever had and the presentation was beautiful! The other desserts were amazing too! Can’t wait to go back!!!“

“I always come here the food is always delicious“

“Our waitress, Amanda was exceptional. Our wait was short, the food was dynamite from the bread basket and dip to the appetizer, Soup, salad and our entrées.“

“A local Thai restaurant! Epic! Having am old favorite dish, Kai Tom Kha. Excellent!“

“This place is really nice. The restaurant beats all other seafood places to eat at. I didn't even finish all my seafood. Service was a ten.“

“I arrived around 2pm on a Wednesday. I hadn't kept up on the news and was almost disheartened when I pulled into the parking lot. There were only 3 other cars scattered throughout the huge lot. But I was quickly relieved when I asked a young lady walking by if the place was still open. She assured me it was and said it would be busier a little later. I was greeted and seated in a requested booth in less than five minutes. I was there to memorialize what would have been my 30th wedding anniversary. Lois attended my table and she made for a most pleasant visit. She checked on me several times throughout the meal. I think she's psychic because she knew I was going to order the Chocolate Wave for dessert. Thank you Lois. And thank you Red Lobster for enabling me to honor a tradition.“

“Did some plumbing work for these guys with the previous company I worked for. Being that my wife and I had just moved to Riverside(late 2018), I had always wanted to try this place. Finally got around to it tonight and boy they definetly not disappoint. We ordered take out, food was delivered hot and fresh. Very flavorful, authentic and delicious. We have a 2 pizza spots, a Chinese spot, bar spot and now I have found my go to Mexican restaurant ?. Keep it up guys!!!“

“I can't believe we've never been here, but the kids wanted to check it out. Our little one even paid ? Nice place, cool atmosphere, food was yummy ? & the staff was very friendly & attentive ?

?️Note?️The Short Rib Philly sandwich was outstanding ?“

“Let me just say that the staff was INCREDIBLE. Very kind and helpful, extremely pleasant people overall (-: They showed us our meals before packing them up to make sure we were satisfied with how everything looked which it all looked (and tastes) AMAZING. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Will definitely be making the 1 hour trip back to Tracey’s Kitchen very soon. Worth every penny!“

“In a world of make-believe Italian restaurants, Il Portico is one of the standout authentic destinations in the entire region. Upon walking through the entryway, you take a step back in time and tempo. It is rustic and charming enough for romantic dinners but equally appealing for larger, lively gatherings! Expect excellent service at the tables or the bar (thank you for the wonderful drinks, Nadia!) and incredibly delicious food prepared with the utmost care. Everything is cooked to order. Even the pasta and mozzarella cheese is homemade. Our table ordered everything from lobster bisque soup to pasta with Bolognese sauce and veal cutlet. Everything was perfectly presented and full of mouth-watering flavor, texture, and aroma. Topping it all off, this place has excellent live music every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday each week. Before dining this evening, I had the pleasure of listening to Tony O. perform a wide variety of highly entertaining tunes that you may not expect to hear. His music is refreshing to the ear as it doesn't overpower the room while you're conversing with those around you, but it punches through just enough to get your attention. You'll find yourself tapping your toes or maybe even singing along, and he'll always take a break to acknowledge those special birthdays in the house. You will only find this unique experience at Il Portico, so whether you come for the food and stay for the music, or come for the music and stay for the food, either option is sure to be an experience worth repeating over and over again! FIVE STARS!“

“Ordered takeout for dinner. The General Tso’s tofu was amazing, the crab rangoon were generously stuffed and they, along with the egg rolls, were fried perfectly. No greasy mess. The only disappointing part is that we didn’t get fortune cookies! Almost deducted a star for that one, but everything is very reasonably priced so I let it slide ;)

Vegetarian options: General Tso tofu is fantastic.“

“We ♥️ the chucky’s bucket! A ton of food and so easy. We added a beer and some old bay. Get it! And thanks Tony for the donation to our Cancer Support Community kids Fundraiser! #shoplocal“

“I had a wonderful dinner for this place!! I would highly recommend this seafood restaurant. The shrimp and snow crab are so delicious, fresh and juicy I would 100% recommend people that would stop by here and give a shot on the seafood boil!!“

“GREAT SERVICE/STAFF...GREAT FOOD. Good people all around.“
