    We found this restaurant after attending the HopSauce Festival 2025. The food was phenominal, the service was great and the ambiance was very cool. We had the swordfish skewer and lobster roll. This is a very nice place to hangout with friends and family. Great job and very well recommended!

    Delicious oysters

    This was my first trip to LBI, and I didn't always feel welcome everywhere we went--but this place was a huge exception. Despite having a very cranky 2-year-old with us, Kevin went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. I asked for fries first just to get something in my kid's belly. Then we took our time ordering the rest. While we waited, Kevin brought over buttons and toys to keep my son entertained. When I mentioned that he had seen a balloon earlier and really wanted one, Kevin blew up a kitchen glove for him. That kind of thoughtful, above-and-beyond service is rare. Truly phenomenal. The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming. Everyone, including the other customers, seemed chill and friendly. While they don't have a liquor license, I was able to enjoy a small bottle of rosé, which was perfect for our early Mother's Day celebration. Food-wise, we started with a dozen oysters, which were so good we ordered more. You can't go wrong with focaccia with burrata. The crab birria tacos were messy and I couldn't really taste the crab, but they were still tasty. All in all, a wonderful atmosphere with great food and even better people. I'd absolutely go out of my way to come back here.

    Dock and Claw is one of my boyfriend and I's all time favorite date night spots. I usually settle with the perfectly blackened shrimp poboy or delicious white wine clams and he always has the double dock burger because of his allergies. We love the vibe of the place as it took over such a historic piece of town and still managed to give it a great atmosphere. BYOB is always our fav so we can't complain in that realm, but one thing I have noticed over the past few years we've come is that we don't nearly get the same attention as other tables do. When we come with an older crowd we are waited on so nicely, but when it's just the two of us we maybe get someone coming over once or twice the whole meal. Now there isn't one specific scenario that makes me feel this way but more of a collection. I try to wrap my brain around why this may be because we tip well, are never too much of a hassle, and overall are happy and content customers when we are there! The only thing I could come to terms with is that it's because we are in our 20's ‍

    Got amazing lobster roll and mussels/langostinos takeout from this place and it was beyond delicious. The food was ready on time and perfectly packaged. The place looks cool to hang out in as well and can't wait to return.

    Mussels in garlic white wine sauce

    We have passed Dock and Claw over the years saying we've got to eat here, but never quite got to it. Well this year I was determined because I was wanting to try the Korean Duck wings. Well we finally made it and I'm so mad at myself for waiting so long. Yep, I got my Duck wings and they were amazing A sticky sweet bbq sauce that then catches you by surprise with some heat at the end. Delicious. My wife had the mussels in a garlic wine sauce. The mussels were plump and perfectly cooked. The garlic and white wine sauce was a garlic lovers dream. It comes with a wonderful bread slices to help you soak up that amazing broth. This is a busy tiny place, so come prepared to have a little wait. For us about 15 minutes. But the staff are very nice, food comes quickly, and the portions are plentiful. When I come back next July I will make sure Dock and Claw is on my have to go eat places.

    We were told to use the QR code for the menu. I personally wanted steamed clams and that is why I was there. I also ordered the side of Mac and cheese. I originally wanted to get the fish tacos but was told it was too much food. Oh well- another meal in my future! They can sell wine but do not have a liquor license. The house white was not good. My friend got the clam chowder. I only tasted it but was very impressed with how flavorful it was. I got the clams and they did not disappoint. Lots of delicious broth and bread for dipping. The Mac and cheese was creamy too. Loved the French fries. Very casual eating outside.

    YUMMMMY Dock Burger and Lobster roll!

    Yummy lunch of shrimp cocktail, Dock Burger (best burger in LBI) and Lobster roll. Great place to come, especially on a cloudy day!

You come here for the seafood and it doesn't disappoint. We had the lobster bake which had a mountain of clams and muscles. It could have used some broth in the bowl to keep from drying out. The lobster was very juicy. I had the broiledseafood combo. While the crab cake was outstanding the flounder, scallops and shrimp were overly dry. Lastly, the garlic Dungeness crabs - the menu description is spot on - get dirty with this one. Take the bib and have plenty of napkins on hand! Very garlic forward in a good way. Everyone talked about the ranch dressing, not sure what the hype is. It's definitely better with the balsamic opposed to separately. Love the overall atmosphere and will be back.

The bar service was fantastic despite how busy they were, the bartenders were friendly and seemingly happy to help. A pleasant surprise to other establishments that can get as busy as this restaurant. It took a while to get seated, but to be fair, we had no reservations and a larger party. Carly was our server and she did awesome for the how many tables she was juggling. The food was excellent but could have come out a little faster. All in all a great place, we'd come back for sure.

Our server Amy was wonderful and really made the meal. She was kind, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the menu to us and answer all our questions. Never once did she make us feel rushed and we were there for several hours. We sampled what felt like the entire appetizer portion of the menu because why not! Raw oysters, roasted oysters, tuna crackers, octopus, clam chowder croquettes...You name it. We had it. Hands down these were the best and freshest raw oysters I've ever had. The New England clam chowder croquettes and tuna crackers were other standouts to me. I could have made a meal of these alone. When it came to mains, again no surprise everything was incredible. The crab cakes were a hit. Not an ounce of filler in these. All crab. We had a bit of a later rez so we were able to enjoy the most beautiful sunset on the bay. The perfect end to a perfect meal.
