the mussels We ever had .Good food for sure i'm a Mussel expert Poseidon 10+++++ I love to come hare every week read more

We called asking if reservations where needed in the bar area, on this particular Saturday. The hostess that answered the phone said that no reservations were required. When we arrived a very obnoxious host informed us that we did indeed need reservations and that the bar area was full. After a back and forth (him being very nasty) we were told that they would seat us, but we have to leave in an hour??? What kind of customer service is that? Did they really expect us to sit down, have a few drinks, eat and give up our seat in an hour? Obviously, this host doesn't have a clue about going out to dinner. He perhaps should stick to the chain fast food outlets that he is accustomed to. It's too bad, because Biggies wasn't a bad place to get inexpensive seafood in a bar like setting. Perhaps one day we will try again...Once we find out he is no longer employed there! read more

The food and drinks were absolutely perfect! We had three types of clams - Oreganato, Southern Fried and Steamed and two Oyster Shooters. The Margaritas and Mojitos were outstanding and the entree were delicious. The service was great!! A definite must try! read more

I order from here at least once a week best ribeye steak sandwich around. Calamari is also great!

Enjoyable experience. My friends thought their Teriyaki Salmon & breaded fish filet were delicious. Waitress was very accommodating, even scoring me a happy hour-priced Sauvignon Blanc. I ordered the Seafood Fiesta & while the taste was good & seafood plentiful, it all sat in almost a bowlful of "A la Vodka" type sauce which was too much especially coupled with a Blue Moon. The menu read linguini, but dish included penne, but not sure if that's because I requested whole wheat pasta. read more

Food is always really good. Fresh and delicious. The service wasn't quite as good as it normally is, but it could have been an off day. It was a Friday afternoon. read more

Awesome clams on the half shell. They were big and shucked properly. Good beer selection. Great service.

The absolute best place to watch the Giants play! I was here for more than half the games this season! The wings are great and dollar shots every time the Giants score a TD! For dinner or to meet friends after work for a drink the place is great too. GET THE THAI CHILI CALAMARI!!!! read more

Overall, a great place to grab a bite to eat, a beer and watch some football. Yes, it's loud, but it's a bar, so come expecting a vibrant but loud environment. It's surprisingly great for kids though, with large booths and tables, and a smattering of TV's to help keep them occupied. It got very busy on Saturday around 6pm, what looked like a 30+ minute wait, so get there early for dinner to avoid the inevitable rush. The food was great, with a good selection of raw bar appetizers and solid sandwiches and bigger meals. I had a raw bar sampler and a lobster roll sandwich, both were fantastic. Not too pricey, as the portion sizes are quite massive, my wide had a chicken sandwich that came with 2 entire breasts, so we had a good amount of food for leftovers the next day On the downside, parking is impossible - plan to wait outside for 10 minutes for someone to leave or to park around the corner on the residential street as the parking lot is small and narrow. read more

Biggies offers pretty good food but not the best value as the quality doesn't always match the price they command. Went for a birthday party and it was a fun time but none of the aps and my main dish stood out it was all just ok to kind of good. Which for the price should be better. The service and atmosphere was solid but the good was decent and nothing spectacular. While not a bad place to go (esp if you are going out with picky eaters) there are better options locally. read more

Not a big fan of the cheesesteak. The steak was bland and very hard to bite into. The loaded fries were better than the cheesesteak.

So disappointed. They used to have an option for clams that were either a dozen or a half dozen. $10.50 for a half dozen clams is just a ridiculous price. Will be going else were from now on. read more

They've definitely improved the food since my last review! Still great service. Shrimp po boy is delicious. The only thing I'm taken back by is the exorbitant price of some of the sliders on the Sunday football menu. Don't get me wrong, the fried oyster sliders are yummy. But you get two bite sized sliders for $12 which is crazy. Good thing there's good drink specials on Sunday! read more

Food was very good. We ordered several appetizers. We ordered the buffalo and teriyaki wings, the loaded baked potato, and the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp used in the shrimp cocktail were large and tasted really good. The loaded baked potato came out good as well, the wings were a little weird. The buffalo wings were very spicy and the teriyaki wings were just way too sweet. But over all the food was good and the service was good as well. I will definitely go back in the future. Also this place has plenty of parking. read more

This restaurent is not that bad but the food is a bit pricey for small meals. I should have gotten other seafood dish I want to try since I looked at the review that they are known for their seafood dish. Theres a good vibe but I feel like its better to go out at a nightout/ dinner out with family or friends. read more

Food was great! Staff was attentive to our needs. I really enjoyed the grilled clams. The menu had options available even for guests who aren't big on seafood. I thought the pricing was affordable and I'd def come back! It's close to MetLife stadium too so it would be a good spot post giants game! read more

Absolutely horrible experience!! Ordered Manhattan clam chowder, too much Oregano!! Bitter tasting. Sent back, ordered New England clam chowder, it was ok. My husband makes better burgers! Did not enjoy this experience and would not go back! Even my husband commented in the car, "so unfulfilling" my sentiments exactly! Stacey the bar tender was pleasant and attentive. read more

This restaurant has gone down hill!!! The calamari is like rubber bands, steak sandwiches are like leather, the roast beef sandwich is fatty and not even edible, clam pizza dry, sangria watered down its basically juice, the martinis are also just juice,Biggies Brew is like acid. Don't waste your money, go to Vesta's down the road.... it's a 100 x's better. You're welcome read more

Bring back the White Cap Sandwich. What happened? The Philly Sandwich is not a viable substitute. For Jersey, friendly staff. I just wish they'd listen to the customers. read more

Amazing food. best clams Oreganata ever! I used to go to the original one in Hoboken all the time before it closed down. I think the carlstadt location is better than the remaining Hoboken biggies location, mainly because there's a nice separation between the bar and the dinning area. So, the location depends on the mood, but the food is great in both. Very fresh and tasty. read more

This is my favorite restraunt. Food is so delicious and employees are very friendly. I recommend seafood frame diavola read more

Biggie's - Seafood Near Me - Carlstadt, New Jersey

Mmmm is all I can say , I came here tonight celebrating fathers day with my dad and step mom, my dad enjoyed his flounder franchise, it was not on the menu but they were very accommodating and it special for him, my mom loved the N.E. clam chowder, and a thumbs up for the teriyaki salmon, the mozz sticks were ok, the sauce... was eh. But the topper for me was the lobster mac and cheese, the high point of the night, worth every penny and worth every bite, , the service we got tonight was great. Gabriella was our server and I hope she is next time as well , she did amazingly well, tonight made father's day rememberable thanks to biggies read more

Biggie's - Lobster mac N cheese is a must have - Seafood Near Me - Carlstadt, New Jersey

I usually love you guys. Your food is great and filling. But last night I used UberEATS to get food. I ordered a large chicken Caesar salad and seafood in lobster sauce. The food was very very little that it actually looked like someone took some food out of the containers. When I dine in the restaurant you get much more food. The bill came out to $40. and my boyfriend and I were still starving. Very disappointed will never order out only dine in. read more

I have been seeing so many pics of various foods served at Biggies I just couldn't stay away any longer. OMG when they say the picture doesn't do it justice it doesn't even come close with Biggies. I ordered the Shrimp Oreganato and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! The service and staff are amazing. I also had the mozzarella sticks and they had to be the best I've ever had. Absolutely a great place to eat and take the family to. read more

This is probably the worst place in East Rutherford for food. I ordered a Biggie's Flounder and it was far from big, not to mention the platter was just the small piece of fish. The only drink worth getting was a dirty martini, and it was not dirty at all. If you are looking for a good meal with drink, I highly recommend you choose somewhere else. read more

Just a heads up. Food is very good but if you order (as they advertise) fried whole belly clams, they are regular clams, not Ipswich steamer clams. Manager said they do not carry those. The Rockefeller clams are out of this world delicious and the coconut shrimp is also really good. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I've been reading a lot of negative reviews about Biggie's, so I thought I'd write about my experiences with them. My husband and I have been there three times- once for lunch when they first opened, once for a late dinner over the summer, and this past Saturday night around 10ish for a drink. We didn't have a bad experience any of the times we've been there. All three times, we sat in the bar area, and the service was great- there was no wait, and the hostesses were really friendly. We've had the same waitress the past two times- Jessica- and she was really friendly and efficient. She walked past our table quite a few times while we were there to make sure we were doing alright. We were really happy about the craft beer selection, and the prices weren't bad at all. I tried a raspberry martini this past Saturday, and it was tasty, but extremely weak and sweet. I'm thinking because they're only $5 they're not full-strength. I may stick to the beer from now on. The food is always fantastic! Over all the times we've been there,we've had the turkey chili (nice amount of spice, nice and thick), the roasted clams (perfect amount of garlic and butter), the seafood salad, the mussels marinara (the sauce looks thin, but has big chunks of garlic and onion- I could eat it with a spoon it's so good), the thai calamari (my favorite), and the sea scallops (perfectly seared with a hint of sweetness). All of the seafood was unbelievable, and really reasonably priced, especially for the amount of food you get. My only complaint would be one thing about the seafood salad. It was delicious and refreshing with a light lemon juice dressing, and there was more seafood in that bowl than I could eat in 2 meals, but it was on top of a huge bed of yellowy iceberg lettuce. The menu said "mixed salad greens," but there was no mix, and they definitely weren't green. I was hoping for spinach or some romaine, something with a bit more flavor to compliment the seafood. Despite my few complaints, I'm happy to give this place 5 stars because the service is great, the food is wonderful, and the place is really nicely furnished, very comfortable, and relaxing. Also, the bathrooms were spotless and perfectly stocked, even at 12:30am- anyone who's been to a bar at that time knows how rare this is. If I really wanted to, I could ask for a stronger martini, and request romaine in my salad, so neither of those things even comes close to being a deal-breaker for me. Actually, I'm going back on Thursday and bringing a friend who's never been there. So you guys, if you actually read these reviews, keep up the good work, and I'll see you on Thursday! :) read more

Awesome... Where the food is amazing, the beer is cold and the staff is attentive and friendly! Love the calamari. The chicken portobello for Maggie is a must try!! read more

First time here and will be returning asap! Ran out of the West Coast Oysters but the east coast were on point. Got the clams Oregenata and the mussles which were both perfect sauce and all! Also ended up getting the thia chili wings, they were perfectly cooked crispy and delicious. Great job biggies you got it right! read more

Biggie's - Seafood Near Me - Carlstadt, New Jersey

Good seafood options plus waffle fries served with any of the sandwiches.

Overall good experience. Ordered the manhatten clam chowder which was very tasty. Also ordered the steamed mussels with white wine sauce. Also very good. This place is known for its seafood and it didn't disappoint. 15 dollar pitchers of sangria is a can't lose situation. My friend enjoyed it very much. The service was fantastic. Our waitress Natalie was very attentive and helped point out some favorites on the menu. I found her to be very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in the mood for some seafood or a couple drinks. Will def be back to try some other things off the menu. read more

This was my first ever visit to a Biggie's. It was a Saturday in January at noon. I sat at the bar where Anthony sent in my order of Seseme Thai Tuna Entree special. I enjoyed my meal while listening to popular dance tunes and watching The NFL Network, college basketball and women's golf. The rice was great since it was covered in Thai chili sauce however the brussel sprouts and the tuna were very dry. I tried using whatever sauce that was left to soften them up. I went back in February in 60 degree weather on a Sunday at 12:15pm. I enjoyed the Rigatoni Arrabbiata with sausage which gave it more of a jambalaya feel. It was a large amount which made dinner later unnecessary. Again there's an abundance of seats available at that hour. read more

With all the good reviews for the clam pizza, I went for it. Sounded strange, even though I love clams and I love pizza, but clam pizza? It's as bad as it sounds. I'm not a picky eater whatsoever but I could not eat one slice of it. I dipped it in the fra diavolo sauce and still couldn't eat it. I didn't get bread with my mussel to-go order either. Wouldn't try this place again. read more

I have been to this Biggies a handful of times and decided to use them to cater a house warming party I was having. The day of the party I stopped by to pick up my food. Once I unpacked the box I realized the chicken parm was missing. I called the restaurant and the hostess connected me to Cory, the assistant General manager. When I explained the problem Cory couldn't be more apologetic. He even offered to have the food delivered to my house which he did himself. When Cory got to my house he apologized several more times and even gave me a gift card to use at Biggies. I thought this was very nice and a great example of excellent customer service. Not only that but all my guests loved the food. Thanks Cory for handling the situation so well. read more

The seafood is generally pretty fresh (raw oysters are always very fresh, and very flavorful), and service is usually pretty good. But the food preparation can be spotty, with poor boys overwhelmed by mayo, that kind of thing. Also it is generally crowded, always loud, and prices are on the high side (notably for drinks & beer). There are often some good beers on tap, but they also often let them stay on tap a bit long, and they get silty. Still, Biggies is generally where I go to get my oyster fix! read more

My husband and I have been here before and just thought it was okay but we decided to go back and try it again because we had a restaurant.com certificate. The server greeted us and I saw on Sunday's they have a special for a glass of sangria for $5 so I got that. After I ordered I saw the regular price was $5.50 so I only saved 50 cents LOL. We ordered the fried calamari for an app, my husband ordered the ribeye, and I got the Seafood Fiesta. The Calamari was cooked perfectly and the garlic mayo sauce it came wite calamari was good but the marinara sauce it came with was horrible. absolutely NO flavor! It was sooo bland. I had to add tobasco just to eat it or dip it in the garlic mayo first. They really need to work on their sauce. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, but the sauce they served with it was pointless because it had no flavor either but the sauteed spinach he got with it was very very good. My entree, the seafood fiesta was very good, but also a little bland. I added parmesan and red pepper and it was good. The seafood was cooked perfectly, although I did get a little grit in it. I had leftovers and the busboy came by and asked if I was finished. I said yes, but I wanted to take my leftovers to go. He didn't hear me because it was very loud in there and I told him again I wanted it wrapped to go. He never brought it back and ended up throwing it out. :( Overall it was an okay place but would not rush back there at all. read more

Went for the first time, food and service great, would absolutely return wings were awesome as were the entrées we had flounder and Salmon not the normal bar fare and it was good, drinks healthy tables clean a+ read more

I'm trying to find a nice thing to say about this place, but I just can't. Came during lunch for a family meal. Not only did we wait a long time for our meal, our server messed our order up twice. After messing up our order, our waitress then messed up our bill. A complete disaster. The food was average, nothing that catches my attention for too long. The mussels were seasoned well in a garlic sauce, but i could've done without. Not impressed at all. read more

Last night we had a table for 4 for our friend's 31st birthday. Simple dinner and drinks before we went out..... The birthday boy sipped something weird through his straw. Once he took it out, we realized that it was the tip of a plastic glove. Whoever was cutting the lemons clearly cut the first 1 1/2 centimeters of his/her glove off and did't even think twice about removing it from the lemons or throwing the lemons out. IT WAS IN MY FRIEND'S MOUTH. We told the waitress and she said 'sorry' and brought him a new water. No manager was called over or anything of the sort. Then we were brought dessert for his birthday. As he dug his spoon in, there was a thick curly hair about 4-5 inches long. I told the waitress and she said 'sorry' again. I said that it was insane and dirty so she got the manager. The manager said 'sorry, hope you enjoyed everything else though' and that was it. Rubber gloves in my friend's mouth and thick black hair in dessert and we get a 'hope you enjoyed everything else' on his BIRTHDAY. I've been here at least a dozen times - never had such ridiculous service, especially from a manager. read more

Soooo happy they're back open for curbside. I've been craving Biggies. I absolutely love their clams and cheesesteak. Every time time we go (which is pretty often) it's nothing but 5 star service. They are truly an amazing restaurant with excellent food. We love you Biggie's thank you!!!! read more
