“Service was great at the beginning of meal. When dinner was served the waitress never came back to ask us if everything was OK. Next time we saw her again was to pick up our plates. My husband was missing a melted butter with his Surf and Lobster dinner.“

“The chowder was absolutely incredible. 5 stars. Our lunch was great. Not a person in our party walked away unhappy with their choices.“

“Cute little place with an assortment of food choices. The waitress Samantha was attentive and pleasant?. She recommended a taco dish that was delicious and filling. Also ordered some wings which were quite tasty as well. Clam chowder soup was had by my mom who enjoyed every last bite!“

“We’ve been to Delaware Oyster House which is also good but the outdoor space here at a table outside (not the bar) is a good experience. We shared a seafood platter of broiled fish, shrimp and crab cake with fries and a dozen oysters both as shared snacks. It was HH so oysters were $1 and the draft margaritas were strong and wonderful! Pro Tip: bring your pickleball set and play a round on the adjacent block pre or post visit.“

“Brought two friends who've never been before and what a fantastic experience. The food is always spectacular. The Gables is the definition of fine dining and the owners and staff couldn't be more welcoming. We are lucky to have this gem of a restaurant in Beach Haven!“

“Everything about this place is amazing! Delicious, fresh, healthy food, chill atmosphere, awesome staff. I've been coming here for years since being vegan and have brought many of my non-vegan friends and family members and they love it too! The owners and staff are very sweet and personable, the food and service never disappoint! My boyfriend has celiac disease so he's extremely sensitive to gluten and very cautious to trust places without a dedicated GF kitchen, but he's never had any issue eating here and the staff always takes care of us! Extremely grateful to have this place! Cannot say enough positive words.“

“Excellent seafood, great for take out too. Crab cakes are by far the best crab cakes on the island and arguably any where. I recommend the specials and love the linguini and clams. Garlic clams are off the charts delicious . Best seafood restaurant on lbi - our favorite. The restaurant is small so it can be tough to get a table but worth the wait .“

“Still the best Latino style restaurant bar none. We try to get there often. Great food. Great portions.I tried something new and I think it will be my new favorite. Their Lomo Saldato is outstanding. The steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious. I highly recommend it. I Great food, great people.“

“My boyfriend and I stopped here on our way home from an Atlantic City trip. We were greeted with a friendly and prompt waitstaff. The murals painted on the walls made for a colorful ambiance and provided us with something nice to look at while awaiting our food. We both ordered burritos that came with beans, rice and a side salad. Everything was fresh, so flavorful, and filling. We felt that the flavors were authentic and our money was well spent. Very affordable prices for a great portion. We will definitely be back here whenever we're in the area, we loved it!“

“I have eaten breakfast there a few times and it was great !!! Went for dinner during restaurant week and it was spectacular. Everyone one of the staff were fabulous and service was excellent.“

“Just moved into LBI area stopped by here for lunch. Had a lobster sandwich sandwich which was amazing and it must’ve had lobster from a whole one whole lobster. Also had their clam chowder which is award-winning and it was so good the best clam chowder I’ve ever had. Nice atmosphere. Great service as well.“

“We ran in on a whim and were greeted with a warm welcome. We ordered a bunch of small plates and they were all delicious- the artichoke were cooked in a lovely sauce, the calamari were fried in a light, spicy sauce and the grilled shrimp had a terrific dipping sauce as well. All were a bit unusual and very tasty. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. A fun vibe and a creative spin on all the dishes. We will definitely return. Thank again!“

“Everything is good !! I've never had a bad meal here. Had breakfast today and it was worth the detour off the parkway. Omlet and i got a sandwich with over easy eggs sausage american cheese and French toast as the bread with maple syrup & “

“Great casual food uniquely prepared. A fair amt of choices of chicken or fish. Spicy or mild. Burgers are big and the servings of their other offerings are good sized. You won't leave hungry. They are somewhat pricy. Something to consider with a big group or family.“

“The vibe of this casual burger (plus!) restaurant is just awesome - super islandy, laid back, refreshing & relaxed. It's always busy, but we never feel rushed. There is live music outside on the patio weekly and the absolute friendliest service. Every meal we've had here has been consistently delicious and the meat they use for their burgers is just so tasty - it really stands out from all the rest. We can't wait for them to reopen every spring!!“

“If you love chowder, this should be a must stop location for you. This no frills chowder hut is some of the best in the area. Their New England chowder is honestly some of the best I've ever had. Creamy but not too rich and packed with flavor, it would be a sin to skip out on this. Get it in a bread bowl and it's plenty to share! Who could resist the crusty bread and chowder combo. And don't be deterred with its cold out, you can easily get everything to go!“

“We got speakeasy pizza twice on our vacation and we're very satisfied each time. Being from NJ, I've missed the pizza. I know shore pizza isn't quite the same as regular Jersey pizza, but this was pretty good! The fries are also good too--nice and crispy, so they survive the drive back to your beach house okay.“

“I got the steak and tilapia combo tonight, paired with a Bahama Mama. The food was lovely, but even lovelier was my server Drew. She tended to every one of my needs, and even went behind the bar when the bartender was busy and handmade my drink. I will return.“

“This place is a breakfast gem. The food is delicious and affordable for LBI. Great for families. The owner, Victor, is on-site and the friendliest, most hospitable guy. Highly recommend checking out LBI pancake house when you’re on the island.Kid-friendliness: Overheard a 6 year old girl say that this is her favorite breakfast spot on the island.“

“I visited The Bagel Shack for the first time this week and the food was amazing. Probably the best bagels I have ever had. No kidding. They are that good. Along with a fabulous breakfast sandwich, it couldn't have been better. I am hooked as a customer. And they are open ALL YEAR. Couldn't get any better. Thanks Bagel Shack!!!“

“Nestled on Long Beach Island, this year-round breakfast spot has become a cherished family favorite. From mouthwatering morning classics to unique twists on traditional dishes, every bite is a delight. What adds a playful touch to the experience is the hilarious pig mascot, injecting a dose of humor into the family-friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this breakfast haven offers a warm, inviting space and a menu that guarantees smiles all around. A must-visit for those who appreciate good food served with a side of laughter. Oh & When the cinnamon rolls are on the menu definitely get one!“

“The catch of the day tile fish with a Mediterranean couscous with the freshest of vegetables and fresh spices was perfection! Our server Maddy was the best- she made excellent recommendations, she listened and was genuinely helpful and fun. We've been coming here for years for special occasions in the summer and it gets better each time!“

“Our meal was amazing as was our waitress Dana. The menu selections were excellent and varied and the special entree the 16oz. Veal chop was delicious. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed her birthday dinner. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We got takeout from Bay Village yesterday and it was very good. We got one cheese and one pepperoni pizza. It was slightly dried out but it could've been because we had to drive it back to the beach house about 10 minutes away. The cheese mixture and sauce were a great combination. The service was fast and efficient and all of the employees were friendly!“

“I haven’t been to Mickeys since COVID, but I went on the Friday of St Pattys weekend because our usual spot was too crowded. Let me say, I was so impressed! We got seated immediately, and our server was super attentive and friendly. I had the Buffalo chicken cheesesteak and nachos, and they were both awesome! Fries are great too. This might be our new spot!“

“We ordered one of their party trays for a 21st birthday gathering & it was a HUGE hit!! Not only did it look amazing, it was so fresh & delicious! We will definitely be ordering again!!“

“I recently got a cheesesteak from Slice of Heaven. This cheesesteak was absolutely amazing. I don't know who made it but I would consider giving them a raise. I ate half for dinner and then half for lunch and the quality both times was amazing. Thank you Slice of Heaven. I will be coming back to get another cheesesteak very soon.“

“Food is pretty consistent and decent. I've had better but also have had alot worse. For the price, it's worth it. Only downside to this place is you have to pick it up but I live close as heck so it's not a problem I have.Vegetarian options: Decent amount of veggie options but obviously still not the best for someone on a diet, lol.Parking: In front and decent amount, never really a full lot.“

“As someone with Celiac disease, we often "miss out". It's so nice to have a place that "gets" gluten free and offers great options. I had the chicken cheese steak with fries. Both were delicious! The gluten free roll was soft, not dry & crumbly. The fries were some of the best I've ever had - fresh, crisp. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommended giving them a try.“

“Great diner! Was nearby for a business meeting & a family member & I stopped to eat. Great menu - there is something for everyone. I especially liked that the waitress gave us a printout of the specials with the prices & the soups of the day. Our food came out promptly during a busy lunchtime. The service was great. The order was correct. Prices were extremely reasonable. I wish I knew the servers name bc she was really good & pleasant! Bathrooms were clean & looked updated. I would be a regular here if I lived in the area. Thank you, Stafford Diner!! ??Parking: Plenty of free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking is available. There is a ramp or you can take the stairs.“

“Excellent place to eat. I've been here 8 or more times over the years on a date night and with three grown boys. Never did anyone order something they did not like. Always good service, fun and creative food for the family. Prices are very fair. My wife loves the fish/shrimp taco and I always get the pulled pork on a pretzel roll. Their catchup is great, not you standard out of the bottle kind. They leave wipes and a roll of paper towels on your table, so you can get messy and not worry. A great casual place to go out and not break the back.“

“Was here last week with ten of us. We all ordered food and everything was spot on. I was surprised that the wait was minimal. My Mahi sandwich was very good. Every bar in lbi is a bit pricey but they only have a 10 week window to make money, so keep it in mind. I ll be back , hopefully soon“

“The owners are cool! Best Bartenders on the island!! Food and spirits are slamming!!! Cold craft beer and wine on tap with ice water on the side. I sit down in my favorite spot at the bar with my special glass filled with gin and homemade tonic created by the mixologist on staff. My favorite sports are on TV while enjoying great conversations with the best customers around. So order a burger it's the best in town or enjoy the raw bar and fish on the menu. There are plenty of vegetarian dishes, steak, and pasta as well. Hope to see you soon! I will be there in my favorite chair with a G n T in hand!!!“

“Been going for years just went to breakfast with my parents who have been divorced for years but still best friends for my Mother's birthday and 3yrs ago we held my daughters baby shower and my grandsons first birthday ? what a wonderful place and great staff☺️Wheelchair accessibility: They actually do need more handicapped spots for the elderly handicapped but that's all besides that they are perfect“

“I had bought lunch yesterday and it was amazing but this review isn’t about that. They have a banana shaped wet floor sign. I asked the employee about it and he said it was some prototype auction thing that they got tried looking for it again online and couldn’t find it. I took it the time to look for it. For the bubbakoos employees and everyone that sees this…. You can find it on Amazon for $50. You’re welcome ☺️“

“We had a family event catered by Vinnie's. The staff were extremely helpful and patient when we ordered the food. The delivery was on time and the driver very pleasant. Everyone was delighted with the food. We had people from out of state and out of the country. We will certainly be using Vinnie’s again for our events. Thank you!“

“Made a reservation for a birthday, party of ten. They had us all set up in a big room with a server ready to go as soon as I got there. Wine glasses, ice buckets c water, etc. Emily was a gem! Service was perfect. We all ordered different items. Everyone loved their food. I had the shrimp francais. Best I ever had, and I'm picky because I cook a lot. Food was nice and hot . After dinner our plates were cleared and Emily wrapped all our leftovers for us. Highly recommend Pietros for your next dinner choice .“

“My boyfriend and I spent the weekend in LBI and were scouring where to eat on a quiet February night. A Yelp search led us to the Delaware Avenue oyster house. When we walked in you would have thought it was the middle of summer because this place was hoppin! Always a great sign if you ask me. We waited about ten minutes for a table. This restaurant is mostly just a large bar with a few tables near the windows. It's really cozy and has a fun vibe. Everyone was immersed in conversation and looked like they were having a great time. They have a really great menu with plenty of variety. We started with the fish tacos and the crab fried rice. As I write this I'm still dreaming of this crab fried rice....it was THAT good. The couple next to us referred to it as crack fried rice and I can totally see why. So much flavor and a nice amount of crab!! We then finished up with a pizza as true NJ residents do. It was thin and crispy and perfect. I can't wait to come back in the summer! They seem to do some nice happy hour specials so I'm looking forward to giving them a try!“

“We stayed at Hotel LBI on Saturday for a nice night away We decided to make a reservation at SALT and we couldn't have been happier that we did! The food, service, drinks and atmosphere were second to none! Every single thing about our experience was fantastic I highly recommend you spend your next date night at SALT you will not be disappointed“

“Some people love fast food, I love pizza! This place has been around forever and I always heard such great things. When my daughter was a senior during the pandemic they had an adopt a senior program and the senior I adopted wanted a Ray's pizza because he loved it. Finally I got a chance to try it out. I'm not going to lie it's a bit of a dive but clean.The people are extremely pleasant and it seemed to be a family run business.Straight out of the oven our delicious thin crusted pizza came out and we started to drool just a little. Compared to some thin crust pizza places I would consider this pizza to be medium in crust, they used real cheese because the pizza actually had oil coming off.A bunch of pizza places have got cheap using cheap mozzarella or adding provolone,this place used good cheese! The first slice I had was delicious but after that the second the sauce was a little sweet. I think I devoured my first slice. Overall this pizza place deserves a solid 4!!I would definitely go again.“

“I love this place. You walk in and order inside. They have a great selection of bagels, and flavored cream cheese. We had an egg everything bagel, and a raisin bagel. I also tried the cucumber dill cream cheese which was delicious. They have iced coffees, muffins too. Reasonably priced. Service was fast. We took our order to go.“

“FoodDrunken Claims - 4 starsRisotto Scallops- 5 (Scallops - very good, Risotto - over the top good!)Wife loved the shrimp scampi (only thing is, ask for a spoon).

“Wonderful food, excellent outdoor tiki bar with varied music throughout the week and season. Everyone is super friendly and professional. I never miss visiting my favorite beachside bar and restaurant when I'm on the island. I've been going there for 36 years, and it just keeps getting better. Wonderful remodel in the motel last year too! Best spot on the island!“

“You can't go wrong if you are in the mood for hibachi. I've eaten sushi a few times, and it's also good.Vegetarian options: Like any Japanese restaurant, eating vegetarian isn't going to be an issue, and I would believe they would do it with flavor. Vegtables are the last thing I eat and the first here. So they have to be goodParking: More than enough, parking around the entire building with handicap right next to the door.Wheelchair accessibility: All on one floor without stairs of any k9nd.“
