50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Jenkintown

“Consistently excellent food and service“

“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!“

“Server Jen was fantastic, always with a smile and checked back often to see if we needed anything. Food was great! Would recommend highly!“

“Delicious food, beautiful scenery, very friendly staff.“

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

“Always a Pleasure to have a Pleasure Platter. The lobster Bisque is my favorite.“

“Took my mom there for dinner and we both had the chicken parm. Delicious!!!! Melony, our waitress, was the best. Good and service were outstanding. I can’t wait to go back.“

“We had such a wonderful lunch. The waiter was fantastic. The food was perfect.“

“I’ve been going here for years with my wife. Great food and good prices. It’s always nice to support a Muslim business.

Dietary restrictions: My wife can only have dairy free and they’ve always accommodated her and her preferences. And the food doesn’t taste any less great!“

“These are the best damn shrimp that’s Been around for a long time take our own cash only but I’ll tell you best shrimp if you like breaded shrimp these are beyond love this place anytime I’m down near this neighborhood. I have to stop and eat them take out and cash remember“

“Best raw oysters! We visit it nearly monthly! 🥰“

“The best seafood ever, I’ve never had a bad meal honestly, my husband and I love it, this was always a great place to go for a nice quiet dinner, so disappointed that they did away with their indoor dining, their service was so good and so was their wait staff they were the best.“

“Tried a few dishes here and overall it was a decent experience with some clear hits and misses.

We probably overordered, but that also showed the portions are generous and the value for money is actually pretty good.

We started with the salad, which was fresh and well-prepared—simple but good.

The seafood bisque was enjoyable, though it leaned heavily toward fish and lacked a mix of other seafood, which would’ve made it more interesting. The seafood soup, on the other hand, was just okay—it definitely needed more depth and seasoning.

For appetizers, the fried shrimp and fried calamari were both decent, nothing special, but the dipping sauce with the calamari stood out and elevated the dish a bit.

The grilled octopus was a miss—it lacked flavor and tasted like it had been previously frozen, which took away from the texture and overall experience.

For mains, the Singari sea bass was solid—the fish tasted fresh and was cooked well overall.

The clear winner, though, was the butterfly shrimp. It was buttery, perfectly grilled, and packed with flavor—easily the standout dish of the meal.

Overall, a mixed experience but worth it for the butterfly shrimp alone.“

“They have absolutely amazing food!!! Excellent service. Unbelievable portions. I will go back again & again!“

“First time customer Monday afternoon for Christmas lunch. Food was excellent and bartender Tracy was amazing! She ran the bar and dining room by herself. No wait and a warm and bubbly personality. We all loved her and will be back on Mondays. Great place“

“Good food. Good customer service.“

“Good Service and food too.“

“Do not judge the elevator entrance, this restaurant is my favorite hidden in the open gem. Their broth is deep with flavor and aroma. Lots of options to add into your HotPot. Big tables, lovely atmosphere, a never miss when we visit Philly.“

“We are never disappointed here time after time always very good“

“Hello, I wasn’t sure because of the name but I’m glad I stopped. I had the Hibachi mix vegetable w chucks of chicken and nice size shrimp and fried rice, everything was deliciously fresh my rice was not sticky, and it came with a side salad, Thumps Up to #DrunkeCrab!! top off w a breath mint.“

“Delicious Indian cuisine. I’ve been struggling to find a good Indian restaurant since I moved to the Philly area about 6 months ago, and I mean really struggling. Out of all of the places I’ve tried, Srinagar takes the cake!!! The Chicken Tikka Masala is incredible and is the perfect spice level for a medium. I did only get delivery via a third party service, but would certainly consider eating in next time. Will be eating here again!!!“

“Was having a girls kn with friends. Let me tell you i am a Florida girl. So i value excellent service and seafood. I bought the 1 cluster and mussels. As you can see by the video it came with plenty. The owners were nice and made the purchase enjoyable. Will be back.“

“Cannot recommend this place enough!!! Absolutely outstanding food & quality. I’m a huge fan of Po Boy sandwiches and had been struggling to find any in the area, found Crab De Jour Pennsauken on Door Dash & saw they had them.

Decided to give them a shot, got the cat fish one & the flounder one, I had always wanted to try catfish so I figured this was a good time to do it.

Both sandwiches were perfect, like actually perfect. The catfish one was easily my favorite of the two & now am a big fan of catfish. Flounder was solid , will be trying the shrimp one & oyster one next!

Their Cocktail sauce was delicious and had a great texture, the fries ( I got both Cajun & sweet potato ) were borderline addicting , perfectly cooked & seasoning was top tier.

Overall I have nothing but great things to say about this place, I’ve ordered 3 days in a row this week. Service & Food was outstanding , I’ve only had them via delivery but I can tell you this location and staff are amazing & they earned a lifelong customer with me.

5 stars across the board , if you’re on the fence of trying them or looking for great food at a very good value I hope this review convinces you to give them a shot.

Shout out to the staff & the manager !“

“We visited Pera and it is great to know that the restaurant met expectations and was consistent with the excellent review in the PHiladelphia Inquirer.“

“Great Food & Great Staff!!“

“Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Great fresh vegetarian options with delicious tomato broth. Good vibes and music. Clean bathrooms.“

“Celebrated my son’s 21st Birthday here with about 30 of his friends and family. We had a big section of the deck to ourselves. They had plenty of different options to fit our needs. We had a great time, everyone raved how good the food was and our server kept the drinks coming! It was a perfect way to celebrate!“

“My boyfriend and I wanted to try something new in the Northern Liberty area as we frequent the area quite a bit, and decided to give Yanaga a try. After just one dine in experience, it's become one of our new favorite spots to eat, and it's definitely on the restaurant rotation for when we go out to eat!

The place is very decked out with anime stickers, manga panels, and the like, while also playing different kinds of anime on the TVs they have on premise. I really recommend the spot, for just the food alone even if you don't like anime.“

“Food is delicious, prices are reasonable! 🦀🦐❤️🦐🦀“

“I come all the way from Jersey for this seafood!!! I absolutely love it!! U can tell the food is made with love ❤️ The people are very welcoming and pleasant every time I go there!! I even got a birthday toast!!! I definitely recommend💯 The seafood salad is top tier🤌🏾“

“my first experience with jerk chicken... it was awesome. Thank you!“

“My highlights are the staff they're great they're friendly delightful place to be .. Now let's talk about those shrimps So yummy so good very Tasty“

“Great seafood restaurant in the Fairmount area!!!“

“This is my go to spot when I have a taste for some wings and fries and their shrimp platter is good too. I have never had a bad situation. And I am there at least once every other week. Highly recommend to call First before going in if you can get through.“

“Nice little spot, with nice energy. It can be a little tight inside, but given the shape of the building, it's to be expected. Though some people say the portions are small, I felt they were adequate and not dissimilar to say Bastia. I'm not a huge oyster person, but the recommendations were very good, especially paired with the zhug. Everyone we interacted with was lovely, but we were especially appreciative of Jordan, who gave us the majority of our recommendations.

We ate:
- psychedelicate
- stony shore
- bad boys
- broccolini caesar
- yellowtail pastrami
- crispy butterflied trout
- baby back ribs“

“Excellent chicken shnitzel wraps!“

“Chef Robert is very knowledgeable about catering. The food is abundant and delicious! My guest raved about the the short ribs, roasted vegetables and the pasta. I recommend using Bacio for your next catering event!“

“Best meal I have had….maybe ever!“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“Though ownership has changed over the years, this has always been my go-to fish store since childhood. Whenever I’m in the area, I know exactly where to stop. I’ve only ever purchased fish here, and with fresh fish stores becoming rare, I’m grateful this one is still around.“

“Outstanding service and food at the bar! Waitress working the bar area was solo and killed it! Always a go to!!“

“Once you get over the area you are in for some great food. This place brought back childhood memories how good everything was on the menu. The fried chicken wings are delicious but not like the Chinese store wing its way better. Fried fish amazing no matter what type. I order 10 items for a family taste test and not one item was disliked by my family or myself. Can’t go wrong, you just have to order before 2:30 because when they sell out they close.“

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“Great hidden gem in Fishtown✨

Everything was fantastic to the apps, the ambiance, and even our server!

🍝 Food: We loved all the apps, and honestly for us we’d just get all apps if we could. The winter special monkfish was ok. And it was cool to try a new pasta “shape” for us: storzapretti e.g. look like meatballs, but are herby delicious ricotta balls with a snap. We loved the orata fish dish. WOW, perfectly cooked fish! For about $100 pp, we essentially got an XL 8-course tasting menu which is pretty worth it!

what we got:
⭐️ scallop focaccia toast 5/5 WOW! impressed, the flavor, the texture. more than just a fish-on-toast
⭐️ shaved artichoke 5/5 acidic goodness
⭐️ skate cheeks 4/5 great texture! flavor combo was amazing with the calabrian chili and polenta
⭐️ grilled orata 4/5 perfectly cooked with the buttery meat and crispy skin, tapenade was fire!
- tagliolini monkfish 3/5 not a fan gritty pieces in the pasta, monkfish felt a bit overcooked and tough
- storzapretti ricotta dumplings 3/5 glad to try something new!! not our thing

🍴 service: amazing! our server was attentive, helpful and sassy — we liked her. overall staff was great too, they brought the dishes and explained them and between courses they took plates and cleaned the table. very pleasurable :)

🕯️ atmosphere: the ambiance was intimate and sexy! there was not a bad angle of the interior — it was a classy date night spot“

“The freshest selection So tasty Made quickly but custom right in front of you So good“

“My family and I’ve been here a handful of times. We’ve enjoyed birthdays and time with friends. The food is delicious and tastes like home made Italian cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, while the service is timely and our servers were always attentive, whether we were outside or indoors. I highly recommend this spot to friends and will be back for another date night/special occasion!“

“We had an amazing private there on Sunday with 60 people! They were accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. The food was delish!!!“
