    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!

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!

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.
