Service was just ok because our server was hard to find. She was polite, but either new or distracted by whatever was going on inside. I got the dry rub Caribbean wings: really good. I wish there were more. Interesting the celery didn't have blue with it but it was fine. The blue burger was pretty tasty. The burger was taller than the distance my teeth could spread, so you might have to eat it both in customary hand position and upside down. It was chill when we were here but I can see how this place could get rowdy if a lot of bikers come.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Oyster Creek Restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the…read moreatmosphere was warm and welcoming. We chose to sit outside on the enclosed porch, which had the perfect Jersey Shore vibe--relaxed, comfortable, and charming. Our server, Anastasia, was outstanding. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely hospitable, helping make our evening even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely fantastic and incredibly fresh. We shared several appetizers, including the fried oysters, scallops with onions and blue cheese, clams on the half shell (perfectly shucked and absolutely delicious), and mussels in a flavorful garlic sauce. Every dish was fresh, expertly prepared, and full of flavor. By 4:30, the restaurant was bustling with guests, filling both the indoor dining room and patio areas--a true testament to its popularity. Despite being busy, the service remained excellent. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. We also had the pleasure of briefly meeting the owner/manager. He was incredibly personable, and it was clear how much pride and passion he has for his restaurant. That dedication shows in every aspect of the dining experience. If you're looking for outstanding seafood, exceptional service, and a great shore atmosphere, Oyster Creek Restaurant is a must-visit. We can't wait to return!

One of the places on our list to try…read more Old school south jersey seafood restaurant on a deserted no outlet road in the back bay. Also accessible by boat! I opened with the snapper soup. It was slightly disappointing, watery and filled with peppercorns. Not totally horrible but not what I was expecting. Bread is provided on request and our waitress brought 2 brioche style sweet rolls to the table. A plentiful dish of butter was provided. The rolls were delicious and refilled. My entire were the crab cakes I chose French fries and cole slaw. The crab cakes were tasty but in the crab imperial style. I prefer the breaded crab cakes. Nevertheless tasty. The Cole slaw was very good, the fries though were coated and although I dislike this style I liked these. My wife had the broiled scallops with mashed potato and string beans. She raved about her meal. For dessert we split a slice of the chocolate chip cheesecake which was unbelievably good. Our waitress was wonderful and very attentive. If you crave the old school Jersey shore seafood restaurant you will not be disappointed!

Nice little pit stop that serves Italian, Mexican, and American food…read more We ordered a little bit of everything and everything was pretty good considering that it's a roadside stop. We ordered a burrito, some calamari, and some fried appetizers. Everything was seasoned well, except for the burrito, which was a bit bland. Nonetheless, the service was wonderful and we would still recommend if you're looking for a quick bite after a day at the shore.

Nestled in a nook over the bridge, Lakeside Grill can easily be missed. Small, comforting, and some great food for a great price. Our family of 5 all thought the same thing when we looked at the menu: these prices are amazing. For less than $20 a person you can get an entire breakfast, coffee, and be more than satisfied - something you definitely can't get in the city. I opted for a heavenly omelette with mushrooms, spinach, swiss & hollandaise sauce and was not disappointed. Even the presentation was beautiful, something you don't find often from small eateries! Will definitely be returning to try the crabcake benedict (yum!!) and check out their lunch/dinner options!

Oh and the coffee is great too; I learned from the owner when I commented on it that it comes from Italy. The following week my wife and I split an omelet and we each got a dessert. I tried the "dark side of the moon " and she got the explosion. Mine was very good but I'll stick with the explosion from now on. Service was good the atmosphere was very nice, clean and fresh.

So glad that we did because it was excellent with great staff. We all really enjoyed the food. I loved my crab cake sandwich. It was so moist and flavorful. My husband loved his turkey platter. The gravy was delicious and the turkey was moist. My father in law enjoyed his burger. It was a good menu and tight in the middle of the cute little town. Would love to go back and try other things.

First time here, and I was expecting better based on the reviews. Entrance, tables, chairs, and…read moreambiance were as I expected. Ordered New England Clam Chowder. Served quickly and hot in a big, wide bowl. It looked good. Had small, irregularly sized potatoes and chopped carrots. The broth was a little thicker than I imagined or had tasted before in other restaurants, or in the one I make. Clams were tiny and, as you'd expect from a can. Not fresh clams. In fact, you can put all the clams found in chowder in a single tablespoon. Even found a whole bay leaf in it, which should have been removed before serving it. So, how is the chowder? I've had better from canned chowder, and the one I make is way better. Zero stars for the chowder. Next up is the Turkey platter with sliced turkey (hard and dry), 1 ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes (ok, nothing special), 1 ice cream scoop of stuffing (totally disgusting, and had corn in it), string beans (with vine still attached), gravy (terrible), and a little cup of cranberries (decent). Total fail. The waitress was ok, though stopping by every 5 minutes to ask if everything was good was quite annoying. The 'ice water gentleman' was great. You never asked for water, and when the glass was 1/2 empty, he was there refilling it. Great job! The final score of 2 stars is for the historic inn's ambiance and layout. We won't be back, and do not recommend.

Not for us. Perhaps an option for others? I'd suggest not coming here for dessert. The rest - the bar vibe, the ease of parking and the good service are all reasons to come back.
