“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.“
“Food is good, plenty of seafood: snowcrab legs, mussels, big prawns, oysters... Excellent for the price, $20/person for dinner menu! I went there again for an all day dinner price on Valentine's Day 2024. Still just $21.06 per person for the dinner menu. Full of seafood dishes.“
“I heard a lot about Jules@market. When the house jazz band was scheduled we took the opportunity to check it out. The ambiance was great. A subtitled film noir projected against one wall while the jazz trio played against the opposite wall. We loved that. There’s an open kitchen design which really works in an otherwise tight space. One small minus is that it could be vented better. I came home smelling like food. Having said that, the food was exceptionally good. I read some reviews that spoke about small portions. My response is- if you want tonnage, eat fast food or at a chain restaurant. Jules@market is not that. Everything was fresh and on point. One drawback- most restaurants that offer sparkling bottled water also offer flat. I was surprised that Aqua Panna wasn’t available but Pelligrino was available. We don’t drink tap water so I was forced to drink carbonated water which isn’t the greatest for my stomach. Had I known I would have brought my own. Now the service- the staff was super friendly. I left over 20% because of this. But, to put it bluntly they need training. The food is great, the prices are high, the ambiance is amazing. The service should match but it doesn’t. I’m being specific in this review because I love that Bristol is changing and growing and want this restaurant to really really succeed. So here are my comments:1) when people put utensils together to the side it indicates they are finished and the plate can be removed. When it is open and food remains don’t ask to take the plate. 2) Remove all dirty dishes promptly- out bread dishes and used butter stayed on the table the entire meal 3) clear the table before bringing dessert. Looking at dirty dishes while eating the most perfect key lime pie detracts from the experience. 4) timing could be better. We waited 25 minutes for our appetizers and then waited again for a side after being served our main courses at separate times. Have someone follow the server and put the entire course down together. 5) Not once were our water glasses refilled by staff. We poured the Pelligrino ourselves 6) Never bring the plastic bus bins onto the floor to clear a table. That’s for diners, not nice restaurants. Use a tray to remove dishes if need be.I eat at high end restaurants and the service makes the night. That’s why we tip and don’t get take out, we like to relax and have a pleasant experience. I’d love to come back and have the amazing food ( worth every Penny) and have the service be more on point.The food is perfect, fresh, tasty, excellent presentation. The staff couldn’t be friendlier- really lovely people. The ambiance is great, quaint and inviting. I gave a five star because I think the service just needs a little tweak.UPDATE: After posting my review I was contacted by a man saying he was the general manager. I’m not sure how he got my phone number but I wish he would not have called. He was positively berating me about how my review was damaging, he had 15 people to keep on payroll, his family was from Bristol, and I just wrote the review to benefit myself. I could barely respond. He was erratic and attacking. It was off putting considering my teenage son was in the car as he wouldn’t let up and was on speaker. At first I tried speaking with him. I felt my review was good, fair, and spoke very highly about everything except the service- which others have critiqued similarly here on google review. After five minutes of him venting I was still trying to make things right and asked if I could make a suggestion. His response was very rude. He said,” if you make it quick.” At that point I realized that whatever is going on in his life- he decided to take it out on me. I was done. I said,” Never mind. Have a good day.”I later heard that the jazz house band who I was seen talking to was fired and told that I complained about the music. That’s absurd and a lie. They were fired as some sort of weird retribution or maybe they can’t afford to pay them anymore and used me as a scapegoat. Either way this restaurant is not managed properly.“
“Me and my coworkers almost always order from perfettos and we've honestly had nothing but good experiences. The staff is polite and the food is always good. I've even been able to put in large orders at the last minute and they've always come through!“
“Went yesterday for a birthday lunch for my Mom's 75th. From beginning to end, everything was amazing. We had 9 people attending. We had 4 different appetizers, and all of them were delicious. The portions of the entrees are huge..... everyone took food home.The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with a big party. The lunch menu is extremely affordable. Thank you.“
“We were celebrating my daughter's birthday and they were very accommodating for seating preference, and bringing out the cake with lit candles! Our server was very friendly and efficient, the manager even came to table to make sure we were satisfied with our food, etc. Everything was delicious, and the restaurant is really beautiful. Highly recommend!“
“Wow. What a gem. Food was phenomenal! We had salmon crudo and octopus for starters. Both exceptional. We enjoyed tuna, red snapper and mahi mahi for dinner. All were just perfect. Everything was amazing including the service. Very small intimate atmosphere. A really wonderful way to celebrate my sisters birthday with our mom. We will definitely be back!“
“Everything we ordered (the calamari, the potatoes, the mac and cheese) was amazing, and my filet mignon was cooked to perfection. I wanted to give a special mention to our servers, Gary and Bailey, who were simply outstanding, and made last night's meal one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Thank you!“
“So, the pizza is the best you'll get in Tabernacle/Red Lion area. Burgers are top notch as well, and MUST GET THE FRIES!!!! The service! My god, the service! The best, and the friendliest ladies behind the counter. All around top notch!“
“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.“
“We family moved to NJ for almost 2years, every weekend we have a dinner at Chef Zhang with my friend family. We all love Chef Zhang and definitely sure this is the best Chinese restaurant around south New Jersey.And servers all also good they didn’t disturb you when we ate food. Because I don’t like be disturbed during eating. Love Chef Zhang very much, Wish their business always good !“
“I've ordered from this location over a dozen times and the quality has never faltered. Everything is fresh, and the place is spotless. The staff is always friendly as well. The prices are reasonable and they have a loyalty card so don't forget to grab one! The Hula Bowl Is my goto almost every time!“
“My husband and I dined here for the first time, and food was delicious (calamari portico and rabbit), service wonderful and atmosphere very nice in an old fashioned kind of way. They take good care of their customers! We will definitely be back soon!“
“We are from central Delaware. This is our 2nd visit. We will be back. The food is phenomenal. I had the best steak ever. My wife said the risotto was also the best with the shrimp and scallops It all was cooked to perfection. I very highly recommend this restaurant. 20 out of 10 stars“
“My girlfriend and my favorite local Italian spot in south jersey. Great for a nice date night! The chicken parm is top tier and the make fresh pasta! Get some fine wine and a FANTASTIC slice of cheesecake. The bread the give you to start is so good it's hard not to fill up on. Try this place out you will not be disappointed. Hospitality is A+ and usually don't have to wait.“
“I love this restaurant!! The food is always good and consistently good too I haven't had anything from them that I didn't like. I've never had an issue with my order either. THE staff is always so kind and respectful and they always provide grear customer service. I drive almost 40mins just to get food from here and to visit my friend here she's so sweet and polite. The restaurant is always clean and has a comfortable vibe if you ever want to dine in. This is a place I would recommend 1000 times and have recommended to anyone I know looking for good food.“

“Excellent customer service and great food!I personally enjoyed their fried rice more than their lo mein.Their service is impeccable; my girlfriend forget to check if they used peanut oil on any of their dishes because our aunt is allergic. So, when my girlfriend called they were sure they do not. Then, 3 min later after we hung up they called us back and had double checked with the chef and assured us they didn’t use peanut oil.“
“Home town favorite. Been going here many many years! Best customer service from Ted and his wife. So stop by and say hello. Best general tsos in South Jersey! Now that I live in DC with horrible Chinese eateries and a fake Chinatown. I miss Shanghai express even more.“
“My now husband & I dined here the night he proposed. Everything was delicious, so we decided to go with Carlucci’s for our catering for our wedding which was this past weekend & everyone loved the food!! The waitresses were great & super helpful through the night. Carlo is so sweet & thoughtful, we highly recommend Carlucci’s. Can’t wait to come in for dinner again! ❤️“
“Shockingly good! You would never expect the quality of food from the outside but we made it our Chinese New Year location for this year and wow, the food blew our family away. Definitely get the no name shrimp.Despite ordering seafood items, the chef was careful and prepared non-seafood dishes without contamination for our highly allergic guest.“
“The very best without hesitation! Food is delicious. I’ve had several items from their menu, and the eggplant parm is amazing! You will not be disappointed. Pizza is delicious, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, entrees, all of it. You can’t go wrong. Nice seating area for dining in too.“
“Glad to see this place open again (even if the name is different). This is one of the very few places I will order oxtails from. The food (especially the jerk chicken) is authentic. You can taste it. Some places just slather on jerk sauce. You can taste the smokiness in the chicken from Best taste. I usually order a mixed meat platter with jerk chicken and oxtails, along with peas and rice, and cabbage. The problem is I may be tempted to over eat the food from the joint. My only cpmplain is that I requested no legs last time I visited the restaurant. When I got home, there was a leg in my take out container. Did I throw it out or give it away? Heck no! This is the first time they made that mistake, so I'll give it a pass. Glad to see the place open again. Keep the good food coming!“
