    This is a classic fried seafood spot that my family has been coming to for generations. Our go-to…read moreorder is the fried shrimp platter and fried scallops platter. High quality seafood, never fishy/smelly at all. Their fried batter also never come sour greasy, it's always light and crispy. No matter how busy this small shop gets, they have their ordering and cooking process down to a T, and you're usually out of there in less than 10 minutes! It's a very plain, small building, no dining in - it's strictly takeout. We usually drive around the neighborhood and park somewhere by the water to eat.

    Sigh... I hate to lower my previous 4 star review to 3 stars, but I was incredibly disappointed…read morewith my food. I was heading back up north after a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore and decided to stop by the Keyport Fishery. This was my second visit. I had such a delicious meal during my first visit, so I had high hopes. I ordered the Lobster Sandwich, which is supposed to come with 1/3 lb of fish, fries, coleslaw, tartar sauce, and lemon. Current price on the menu states it's $15.01 as of July 2025. I asked the employees if the lobster was served warm with butter or cold with mayo. They told me it's served deep fried with a buttery bun. I hesitated because I wasn't sure if I would like it fried. I should've gone with my gut and ordered something else... but I really wanted lobster! My order was ready within a few minutes. I walked out (it's take-out only) with my bag, excited to dig my teeth in some delicious lobster. Man, I was DISAPPOINTED when I opened that brown paper bag. This was not a sandwich... It was two burger buns with liquid butter smeared on them... with a small portion of deep fried lobster wedged in between. The presentation was similar to a fast food franchise burger. It was COMICALLY SMALL. The side of fries was bigger than it. It's supposed to come with 1/3 lb of fish, but I doubt there was that much in it. The lobster had no flavor at all! Ugh, I am definitely not a fan of having it deep fried. PASS. The buns were fluffy, but that's the only positive thing I can say. The melted butter didn't add much flavor overall. They also forgot to give me tartar sauce and lemon, which I really could've used... given how flavorless the lobster was. $16 for crinkle cut fries and a sad lobster "sandwich". I finished it in a few bites since it was so small and I was still really hungry. Lesson learned - I will stick to their seafood platters. Way better bang for your buck. I'd skip the sandwiches. I will give them another try in the future and hopefully it'll be a positive experience like my first visit.

    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.
