    Our favorite drink Burlew's Peach Tea and actual salt and pepper grinders! I am so happy!
    J H.

    You're going to think this is funny. We had our favorite drink (Burlew's Peach Tea). Ordered sandwiches for dinner (chicken salad and chicken parm) which were delicious! Here is the funny part, I asked for pepper and actually got a pepper grinder and not fast food salt and pepper packets! I was so excited!

    Blacked fish tacos

    Came here because I was craving fish tacos. I had the blackened fish tacos which were so incredibly salty and tough. The fries were also tough and chewy. Really not a good dinner at all. I was so disappointed. Service was friendly but waitress never came back to refill drinks or check on us. It's a very busy place but I would not recommend the fish tacos.

    Sampler Platter 18 dollars, not worth it at all.

    Enjoying some cold Coronas at Burlews again. This is a spot I stop at every now and then since I live the waterfront location. The service is friendly and courteous and they serve some good raw bar items like little neck clams and oysters which I enjoyed. I also had some fried clams which were quite delightful. Very well made and served with some good tarter and cocktail sauce. The mood is great with people enjoying the music and the food coming from the DJ playing some good music on the waterfront.

    Popped in for lunch after not being here in years. It was super nice out, but hot, so we opted to sit inside by the window, but they have a gorgeous patio. My friend and I split the mozzarella sticks appetizer, which was great! For meals, she got the Old Glory sandwich and I opted for the Blackened Fish Tacos, which were well seasoned, but a tad too salty (and I normally love salt). She had a white wine and I started with a frozen margarita that was very weak, tasted like fruit juice and followed up with an Old Fashioned that was MUCH better. Overall, the experience was good, but would have been better if the server had been a tad more attentive.

    I was in the mood for seafood risotto. I called Burlew and Lindsay stayed Chef will make it fresh. Of course I went. Can't say no to fresh. First time here, definitely a pleasant surprise. As I found it to be different in a good way. I saw a sign for plenty of parking in the back. But I didn't know how to get to the back, I asked a nice guy outside the place. He stated I had to drive around the block. So I did and the packing wasn't behind the restaurant but adjacent to the walkway. I went back to the street parking on the Main Street. Walked in the glass door and seen a few businesses as I walk down the stairs towards my destination. I was Amazed. Reached Burlew and their staff all greeted me. Loved it!! I was just in Awe! Very nice decor and the view was stunning!! I announced I was the seafood risotto person. Risotto was good had the right amount of seafood. I prefer a creamier risotto. Pretty good for a requested dishes. Kudos to the Chef Lindsay was a great host. She kept me company. I had a great time. Relaxed enough to get that traffic back north. I would definitely come back.

    Both the hostess and waitress were exceptionally polite and engaging. The iced tea wasn't great. The rum bucket was good. Chips accompanying the chili were warm & delicious. The chili was appetizing, made with both beef & beans. Warning:FYI Wedge salad came with olives. I enjoyed the salad enough to order it again. The Caesar salad was perfect; shaved cheese and homemade Caesar dressing. The potato salad was tasty. The lasagna would have been good if the meat had been seasoned. The seafood in the Mermaid's Delight was outstanding: flounder, shrimp, scallops & lobster. Same with the Fried Seafood Combo. The chocolate cake was incredible and the ice cream complemented it perfectly. I've dined in and outdoors. On a clear enough day you can see the New York skyline across Raritan Bay. Music was as playing but at a level which allows you to have a conversation. Apparently in the summer months, if the small private lot is full, you can be shuttled to & from a nearby larger lot.

    Happy Sunday Adventurers! I dropped in here for a late dinner and drinks Friday night with a guy friend of mine. I remember always seeing this place with live bands during the warmer months but this was the first time I ever got to stop by and check out. We sat at the bar upstairs, which I imagined with the front deck overlooking the waterfront would be beautiful. Catching a sunset and breeze, enjoying a cocktail or app. Parking wasn't too bad, we had to park in the back in a small lot since there wasn't any street parking. We ordered the firecracker calamari and shrimp, with sauce on the side. I prefer having crunchy fried items than covered in a sauce. It's a huge portion for one person so definitely plan accordingly. The sauce had a kick but it was really tasty so I had no issue. My friend ordered the shrimp on crostini in this sweet & spicy sauce. You can choose between shrimp or scallops over the garlic crostini whichever you prefer. we also got the lobster bisque--pretty decent but once you try Maine lobster bisque, jersey is no comparison. I'd like to come back here during the summer to see how it is with live music and back patiol.

    Great ambiance. Car show and live music outside. Wait for about 30 minutes. Got seated promptly though. Waitress very attentive and nice. Shea I believe. Drinks and food were good. We'll return again!

    Lobster roll
    Deborah W.

    My cousin and I went for lunch. Hostess was friendly and made sure we were comfortable with our seating. We both ordered the lobster roll. It was very tasty, not too much mayonnaise and quite plentiful. Pieces of lobster were big and you needed a knife to cut some of the pieces. Fries and homemade chips were fresh and well seasoned with homemade coleslaw. Service was excellent! Love the location overlooking the water. Since Covid prices have gone up dramatically. But all was good

    The food was very tasty, good portions, and very unique. I would come again! The ambient was nice,…read moreservice was good, all the ladies very attentive.

    Went here for dinner with hubby after a few friends telling us how good it was so we went with high…read moreexpectations. Pros -- building, decor, cleanliness, and seating were beautiful. Staff were beyond friendly. Cons -- THE FOOD!! We had pork belly and duck confit appetizer. Pork belly was drenched in sauce and overcooked. Duck dish was good but was a spread and served with such a small amount of bread. Main courses -- presentation was terrible -- i ordered NY Strip with french fries and veggies. Hubby ordered jambalaya -- both dishes were served luke warm and looked as though they had been sitting. French fries were all tiny pieces as if they were at the bottom of the fryer. The steak was a poor cut. The jambalaya lacked flavor. The protein on the dish was all overcooked. Dessert THE Elvis -- sounded sooo delicious but was basically a spoonful of peanut butter. Even the ice cream they served with it could not drown out the overpowering peanut butter flavor. I did enjoy the cappuccino. We were there to celebrate my husband's birthday and he didn't even eat his meal. It was that bad. Sadly, one and done for us. I know they changed their menu so perhaps this is not their best lineup but I cannot forgive the terrible presentation. The price point for what they are presenting its insane.
