Have gotten takeout here a few times and always come away impressed. Love the fried platters, especially the scallops and shrimp. The fries are pretty solid, and the coleslaw is also oddly excellent. They blast this fact all over the menu, but would still caution that takeout is often an hour+ and you will need to be patient. FWIW I do love that they're always upfront and transparent with the wait times. Prices are kinda hefty given the relatively small portion sizes, but if the food is high quality and fresh then I can get behind the numbers to a certain extent. Really like it here, as long as you keep the above caveats in mind. 5/5! read more

It was ok Nothing special. I was in the mood for an old school fried flounder platter and tried this place. Fish was greasy i got a baked potato which was microwaved and still hard Cole slaw was good read more

Ordered some snow crab legs for pick up over the weekend!! 16th street seafood was friendly over the phone and had the order ready within 20 min. The crab legs were great, fresh and still steaming when we got them home. They came without old bay on top, but added a HUGE container of butter ready to go! We picked up some seafood seasoning, crab crackers & hammers when picking up since we didn't have any back at the rental. Definitely a great spot for fresh seafood takeout!! read more

Food was great and ordering and pickup was easy. Definitely will be back here had the broiled combo #2 and fried combo which fed 4 adults. Great option for affordable seafood for a group in OC read more

This is a poorly run place with mediocre food. Last night I had to wait close to two hours for my food, after they told me that I would need to wait an hour. Once I got my food it was was cold and mediocre at best. Plus, the prices are outrageous for what you get. Stay away. read more

We ordered shrimp cocktail, a fried clam strips platter and broiled crab cake platter. All were delicious. The shrimp cocktail were very lightly seasoned, so you could truly appreciated the freshness! I love clam strips and was very happy with the ones here. We ate outside at the picnic tables as there wasn't indoor seating. The man who took our orders was very friendly and patient with our 5 year old who asked a lot of questions about shrimp. Haha! We recommended this place to our family who were also in town at the time. They loved everything g they ordered as well. Pretty good prices for great quality seafood! read more

We ordered 3 takeout items: mahi, grouper and crab cakes. Both fish were overcooked and tough. Crab cakes were below middling. Baked potatoes were brown (on the inside) and undercooked. Mostly not edible. 0 for 3. Sorry. This place is off the list. read more

Food was good! Got fish and chips, coconut shrimp, corn nuggets, lobster bisque, & shrimp crab and corn chowder. Everything tasted good and was cooked well. Would go back! read more

Do not eat here !! Do not eat here ! The crab were over cooked the meat wouldn't come out . They don't add old bay to your crabs or anything even when you ask , the mussels were hard and shriveled up the stuffed shrimp was okay . I ordered at 5 and picked up for 7 , my friends , chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks were super hard and made at 5 for my cal ahead order . Do not eat here please save your self the trouble . And the manager is a coward and makes the girls at the front relay his messages and blames the poor cooking on the girls taking the orders . The worst experience I have ever had . read more

Meh. Ick. What else can I say... Do NOT eat here if you are taking it to go. We were left beyond disappointed with the food here (we did to go food). We were staying (a group of us) in the area for a week and decided to give this place a try. What a waste. We tried several different options (from the fish to crab to pasta), and the best part of it all was the salad. All of the other items were over cooked and lacked flavor. The fish was tough and such a let down, especially for the price (which we realize you pay for good quality food, so I'm not complaining about it being too pricey). Maybe we had an off day, but I wouldn't think that with getting such a variety of items that everything would be so off. We should have read some of the reviews that did not recommend this for takeout. Even the crab cakes were not good. I don't know how this place can get such good reviews and it be the same food and be such a different story for takeout. We will not come here again read more

I am happy to report that upon my return, owners ate closely overseeing operations and bad staff have been replaced with Staff that do their job admirably and accurately, and the quality remains very good! Cheers to management! read more

Great food, courteous staff, clean environment, convenient parking lot. Highly recommend. read more

We got take out and the wait was over two hours on a Monday so keep that in mind when ordering. I got the lobster mac and cheese and it was very much average. I would probably not go back to this place for seafood. read more

Pass on the platters and make your own with their seafood. I spent a small fortune with these guys this week on salmon and shrimp. The quality was very good and even better because I prepared the meals. The only comment I have is about the salmon (advertised as organic) There is no USDA approved organic salmon. Some salmon farms take precautions to do a better job raising the fish but it is not organic. So, my concern was, is that a way to charge almost $20 per pound by labeling the salmon ORGANIC! read more

Just ordered dinner and got the "special garlic and butter" steamers... this is what they gave us which is entirely different than what I've had previously. This was coated in black pepper and oregano and was NOT garlicky or buttery. Where is the butter? Where is the garlic? The dinners were great otherwise. Extremely disappointed in my clams as I was looking forward to them. read more

16th Street Seafood - What is this........? - Seafood Markets Near Me - Ocean City, New Jersey

YUCK! Everything was fried, not one salad in the house and if they did I doubt I would trust it was washed!

Thank you 16th Street Seafood for another excellent experience! The delightful service and delicious food will bring us back as repeat customers over and over again. read more

I would not recommend this resturant for takeout. Everything was over cooked, dry, no seasoning and cold. We had broiled combos, Fried combos, fried chicken, clam strips, stuffed fish with crab. Crab cakes. Everything was not very good. We had take here last year and it was decent.. Not this time sorry to say. read more

For our last day of vacation we decided to pay a visit to the 16th Street Market since it was only three blocks away from our rental. I ordered the broiled seafood combo which came with a crab cake, scallops, shrimp, and flounder. I also had a choice of a baked potato or fries. I chose the baked potato. Everything was delicious and fresh, however I do wish there was more seasoning. I also ordered the 15 steamed clams which came with garlic butter sauce and they were great. Fiancé ordered three blue claw crabs and an order of bacon wrapped scallops which he said he enjoyed. Family friend ordered the crab stuffed flounder and fries and he could not stop raving about his meal. Overall although the meal was great, it was expensive. However the quality was excellent and worth the price. read more

Excellent food and service. Fresh salmon, tuna, and flounder, with generous portions and a friendly staff. Great sides and even the macaroni bites were terrific. Highly recommend! read more

I always look forward to the crabcakes... this year they were terrible- zero lump crabmeat- all stringy and filler. Did the recipe change? Everything we ordered was mediocre sadly. read more

Great assortment of fresh and cooked food!! This is our go to location for seafood in OCNJ

Over broiled, dry fish. Fries or baked potato and cole slaw sides were just ok. Honey chicken was good! But we were looking for better take out fish and maybe that's just unrealistic. Prices were $10-$14 each. read more

Very good variety, large portions, reasonable prices. We had the fried chicken, fish n chips, lobster Mac and cheese, organic salmon platter and the PEI black mussels. Every dish was very good to excellent. There were 7 people and we had several good sized left over portions. We did take out. Well worth a visit. read more

We were here twice this week. The seafood is premium quality. I had the broiled shrimp and scallops the first night and then ordered the fried shrimp and scallops the second. Both were absolutely amazing. I probably preferred the fried over the broiled. We did have to wait an hour and a half but was worth it. Parking is easy in easy out. The market was clean. read more

16th Street Seafood - Fried shrimp and scallops - Seafood Markets Near Me - Ocean City, New Jersey

Came down to the beach last night and ordered dinner as soon as we got here, which was at 7:00 PM. We got fried shrimp, fried oyster, and lobster mac & cheese. I got chicken and a baked potato (which was cold). The lobster mac was very dry and not creamy like one would hope. Not only was this disappointing in itself, but even worse, four out of seven people in the family got food poisoning and have been sick since last night: vomiting, diarrhea, and the works. This is my first review here on Yelp, but I felt the need to make it, as I've never had an experience like this anywhere before. read more

I had the tuna platter tonight. Very tasty tuna steak cooked to order. Served with a baked potato and seaweed salad. $21, good deal!

They forgot the sauce on my pasta after I had asked for white sauce, leaving me with bland, over cooked pasta and flavorless shrimp and scallops. Very disappointed for $22+. There's murky water pooled at the bottom of my dish, that unfortunately still doesn't add any flavor. my friend said the coconut shrimp is good though. read more

got take out order and requested "please don't overcook." The shrimp were over fried and had so much breading...yuck scallops were overdone and awful waste of $50.. last time for this place. read more

So my favorite seafood joint, Spadafora's, no longer carries Dungeness crabs. The reason being the price went up and no one would buy them I was told. Well thats funny, cause I wanted to order them! They use to be $15/lb there, not sure what they went up to. So my lovely wife called around all the seafood places in OC and finally found a place that had them, 16th St. Seafood. They were $20/lb here, but sheet, I travelled all the way from north jersey for some fat crabs and by God, I was gettin' me some. So 2 lbs. later, I was feeling quiet sexy from devouring those beasts. All I can review is the crabs, which were on point. I'm not a big shrimp or fish guy, so you will just have to go off the other reviews. However, if you looking specifically for Dungeness crabs, look no further. Oh, and they will steam them for you too, no charge. People who complain about bad pasta dishes don't seem to realize you should only get pasta at an Italian joint, not a seafood place.

We got takeout from here this week. The fish and chips were great. However, the lobster Mac and cheese was eh. All the lobster was melted with cheese on the top of what seemed like pasta that was hardly coated in any cheese. Stuck to the fish and chips and I'd highly recommend. read more

Got takeout tonight and spent a good amount of money there over $150. Got two dozen crabs very good!! Ordered two combo platters one broiled platter#1 ABSOLUTELY TASTELESS!! No seasoning just paprika was sprinkled on it. The next platter was a fried combo #2 was cold, overcooked and tasteless. Don't order the combos. Staff very friendly but the food value not worth it. Crabs were good. read more

Really great seafood. I had the grilled seafood combo -- lobster tail, shrimp, scallops. All very good.

We live down the street from this spot and have never tried it, so after all these years so we thought we'd give it a shot. Baked potato, corn on the cob and coconut shrimp were good, but the crab cakes were SO fishy. I couldn't even finish one of them. Stick to Spadafora's for the fried crab cakes. I really wanted to like this place since it's so convenient, but the crab cakes were too disappointing for me to try it again. read more

Outstanding service we order right before their Closing snd they waited for us to pick it up. Place was very clean and a lot of customer service and excellent food. My family had crab cakes boiled and they loved them. read more

The seafood looks delicious in the cases. The people are very nice. If you're looking for this place to cook your food for you, go somewhere else. The broiled flounder and shrimp platter was average size, would have perfect with a salad. However, the fish and shrimp were completely tasteless. The fried chicken was inedible and we threw it out. They do tell you there's a 30-40 minute wait, our wait was around 55 minutes, probably they were defrosting the chicken. I might try to take-out fresh fish from here as prices were less than Spadafora's exhorbitant rates; but would not order anything cooked. read more

My family and I got this for our seafood night down the shore, we will definitely use them in years to come. Everything was excellent!

Excellent Maryland Crabs. We have had them there 3 times this season. Tonight was the best!! BTW, all were crab lovers and have been for years. Also, cocktail shrimp and fresh salmon was very good. I would recommend them!! read more
