Great service, good crowd , decently priced. We picked up the beer from uncle Vinnie's clam bar and sat in this place for appetizers. Very attentive service, they cleared the beer bottles almost immediately, cleaned up the used plates, and they didn't mind us just having appetizers with beer that we got from other place (although we were there only for appetizers ). The whole experience was good although we didn't end eating more sea food which is what it's good at. We had crab cake , mozerella sticks and chicken tenders.
This place used to be great, but you're only as good as your last service.
Tip: if you go, don't order anything not [seafood and fried] off their menu, everything else they have to offer is trash.
- Earlier today (about 7 months since my last visit mentioned above) around 1:30 PM the scallops were OFFENSIVELY small within same dish I ordered last time and they charged me same price $18.95 for what amounted to a basic $2.95 green salad in size, if you saw it you'd think it was an appetizer.
Obvious that all the seafood in that plate, aside from the scallops, were leftover from the last truck shipment they received.
Right next to their restaurant. This little gem is a BYOB with food just as good as next door. They lean to more sandwiches and casual fare, but the flavor and freshness of the seafood is excellent. I could drink their tartar sauce. You can also buy alcohol from the restaurant to bring to the market.
Disclaimer: it's common knowledge to usually avoid seafood places over the weekend especially in a place so far inland as this place
* I got gypped.
Seafood is awesome. I've been going there for years. Staff is friendly and helpful. Lou the owner is cordial and never forgets a hungry face!
You must go!
- First time I ordered buffalo chick sandwich by mistake (unbearably salty nuclear orange doused trash)
* Unless you're literally right by the ocean and the pier it doesn't matter what any place says about fresh seafood everyday, because it's not true.
If the prices were much lower like half of what each entrée is at now I'd say it's not bad but don't charge me $20 a dish for dog food.
Ordered their seafood "Pasta special", it was dog food. Shop-Rite off the shelf linguine dumped into watery marinara sauce with tastes of frozen rock hard overcooked shrimp / tuna / puny dried out mussels that were clearly dead before even being cooked (I didn't eat them because bacteria and when you see these kinds of mussels and clams just save yourself the food poisoning and don't eat them). Dog food.
- Second time was PHENOMENAL the scallops in the salad I ordered were humongous and salad fresh and soft shell crab was uber tasty, etc...
Consistent fresh and delicious food in a no frills atmosphere. Good service too.
I've been here 3 times including this last and final time. . .
