I ordered the shrimp basket and I am sorry to say, I was very disappointed. The shrimp tasted great but I only got 6 shrimp. We left the restaurant still hungry. They should state on the menu that you will only get 6 shrimp in your basket. ?

Horrible service, oil was old (Fried pickles had brown oil dripping off them), fish on sandwich was thinner that a McDonald's fish fillet!

Surprisingly little seafood for a seafood restaurant, but the wait staff and location were wonderful and the food was reasonably priced for a beach site.

Hosting our team's Christmas gathering at LJ Schooners was an absolute delight. From the moment we stepped in, their warm welcome set the tone for a memorable evening. The culinary experience was top-notch, offering the finest dishes that left our taste buds thoroughly impressed. What truly stood out was not just the exceptional food but also the inviting ambiance of the room, adding an extra layer of joy to our celebration. The staff's attention to detail and the overall atmosphere truly made our time together unforgettable. Highly recommended for both impeccable food and a welcoming setting!

A nice little locals spot. They aren't very active on social media, and the hours on Facebook reflect the restaurant, not the oyster bar, so its best to call over to see what's going on. They have paddle board races and bands during spring and summer when it can be packed, but sometimes, it's just a few people hanging out.

Tried this place last week. Ordered two salads, oysters, and fried shrimp.The oysters were their attempt on Rockefeller, and a poor attempt. The shrimp was ok, but too much breading. The salad was the only think ok.Nice location though...Three stars instead of two in hopes they improve.I do not recommend.
