Excellent food and Exceptional service. This place was truly a treat. Seafood boil was amazing With the house spicy sauce. Portion sizes were good and everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. I see people complaining about prices being high. Its fresh delicious seafood. Everything is a little high any more. This wasn't outrageously priced. I hope you enjoy, I know we did. read more

Overall experience was okay. My husband and I are from Florida and have been searching for seafood restaurants. After finding Jacks seafood boil we were excited to try. We started with appetizers of wings and was a little disappointed. Wings were full of fat. Cooked great but not much meat. As for the catfish and fries, my husband says everything was great. My boil bag was wonderful also. Just wished there was more sauce. I ordered more which doesn't come on the side. The waitress literally took my boil bag to the back to add extra. The waitress was friendly and attentive. Played great music and had a very clean establishment. read more

Scallops were delicious and perfectly cooked. Customer service was exceptional. The place has a soothing atmosphere and very clean.

Service seemed to be very friendly. We were having trouble deciding on what to order and our waitress never rushed us. She gave us all the tools & gear we'd need before our food came and would regularly check in on us throughout. Unfortunately, the boil was mediocre in my opinion. We decided on the C boil bag; shrimp, chicken, crab, 2 potatoes, 2 corn smothered in the house seasoning (garlic, Cajun, & lemon pepper mixed together) and butter. Wasn't a huge fan of the seasoning, was extremely overwhelmed with garlic to the point that my mouth burned a little. The chicken was bland and rubbery and seafood itself tasted frozen not fresh like I had expected since being so close to an ocean. read more

My bf wanted a seafood boil so we stumbled upon this restaurant. This restaurant is small and cozy and it's BYOB . We ordered the LETTER D that came with crab legs, shrimp, mussels , clams . We got the house sauce which was surprisingly good and not too salty.. I didn't like the mussels because it was the big green mussels instead of the small black mussels. The crab legs were also small and tough to crack open. DEFINITELY MEDIOCRE BOIL ! read more

This will appeal to all Seafood lovers who like spicy Cajun flavors. The sausage, corn, and potatoes are great sides and complements the seafood. I wish they had Texas Toast, which goes great with the meal. I'd go back again! read more

Came to Jack's unexpectedly tonight when our go to seafood boil spot, Oceancrat in Ventnor, was closed. All the reviews calling Jack's a hidden gem are totally right! The house sauce is definitely the way to go, a great combo of Cajun, garlic and buttery flavors. We both got the combo with Dungeness crab, snow crab and shrimp -- all were delicious, but the Dungeness was really a unique find at this kind of place, and absolutely delicious, sweet and very meaty. As a side, the Cajun fries were great, clearly made to order and not overly salty or at all greasy. The restaurant itself is spacious, extremely clean and has the genius idea to put a sink in the middle of the space for easy hand washing. Service is very friendly -- we were the last customers of the night and never felt at all rushed. Definitely will be coming back! read more

DOWN right Awesome! Chicken fried rice had some serious flavors. Good stuff. I will definitely be back. read more

Jack’s Seafood Boil - Seafood Near Me - Pleasantville, New Jersey

My husband and I went last evening and I got food poisoning from it. It was good until this am but never again

At 78 yrs old I can tell you that this is THE VERY BEST seafood restaurant I've ever been to. The food is just indescribably wonderful. If you order The Boil which is what I get, Dungeons Crab, it is impossible to leave with your hands Bonot a good sticky mess. It's all Finger Food covered in the super delicious sauce. Just wash up good after and you'll for sure thank me for recommending this place. read more

My family and I kicked off our 1st Annual Father's Day get together at Jack's. The restaurant is about a 20 minute drive from the main strip. Although there were 16 of us, all of our food arrived accurately and timely. My Cousin (bless his heart) misinterpreted BYOB but he was allowed to bring in a cooler filled with beverages. I found this to be very accommodating. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. I had mozzarella sticks, fried okra and a spicy snow crab boil. Let me just say this: my hygiene preferences typically prohibit me from enjoying a boil in a bag. On this day, I ate everything down to the corn. The sauce is good! It's savory & sweet. The restaurant itself is very clean with a modern/trendy feel. There is a sink to wash your hands right next to the bar area. The bathroom was impeccable. I highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

Very great food. Very amazing staff! We arrived late but they did not rush and treated us very well. Thank you for your patience with us! Always will recommend, it's worth the value read more

Jack's Seafood Boil is a hidden gem. Upon initially seeing the location, I had a few apprehensions but as a walked in, they all dissipated. There is ample amount of parking at Jacks Seafood Boil. The inside of the restaurant is very aesthetically appealing and clean. The blue hues throughout the restaurant offer a calming atmosphere. The seafood boil comes with a bib and gloves (in the event that you're worried about getting messy). There's also a hand washing station. Now for the most important thing, the food! Jacks Seafood Boil offers an array of sea food. I first chose what I wanted to be included within the Seafood boil (although they offer a variety of appetizers, sides, and different entree options). I chose to try the "Combination A" on their menu; selecting shrimp, mussels, and clams. Each seafood boil appears to come with potatoes and corn. I then chose the "sauce." I can't tell you enough how much I LOVED their house blend! Their house blend is an option of all three "sauces" they offer: lemon pepper, Cajun, and garlic. I was informed by our waitress that it's the most popular sauce and I completely/entirely see why! I asked that the house blend be made mild and it had the perfect about of spice, making the dish flavorful with a touch of palatable spice. You should definitely go to Jacks Seafood Boil! read more

Food was delicious and service was great. They were also helpful with my daughter's allergies

They are nice I would suggest medium sauce has more flavor then no spice but the food is good and fresh

High quality food. Delicious boil. The shrimp are jumbo sized and the scallops were fresh and delicious. Great servjice.

Please - don't ever go away! This was my first time ever having a seafood boil and it did not disappoint. We got the Combo D special which included 1 lb of snow crab legs, and choice of 2 others between shrimp, mussels, or clams. All of which were meaty, flavorful, and delicious but that HOUSE SAUCE! The house sauce is a mix of all the sauces - cajun, lemon pepper, ans garlic butter. And I am so serious that I could just lick it off my finger. The bag also came with three potatoes and three corn cobs. This special was shared between two women who love to eat - and honestly it was just enough for us for $60. Calamari was also our app to start. We got there around 6pm and it was clean, playing good music, and did not have a wait. I hope this changes for them and that the line is out the door. Our server Ijana (i hope this is how we spell your name! Im sorry if it's not) was so sweet, made great recommendations, and you can tell she enjoys the food there too. Thank you for being so nice and patient with us! read more

Everything I had was delicious! You definitely have to enjoy spicy food though. I had chicken fried rice that was very spicy and crab cake bites with cajun fries. The fried rice was my favorite! The restaurant itself was very clean and comfortable. read more

The waitress Jessica was very pleasant. The food was amazing! Not many places in south jersey with crawfish but I've had them in the south and they were just as good here! The food was delicious. The seafood fried rice was GREAT! My fiancé and I had a great dinner, very full, and only spent $40. I was pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend. read more

The good news first...We were surprised to find this place in our hunt for seafood, and happy to find a "dine-in"option, with a spacious, serene, and clean dining area that wasn't crowded. Our server (alone on the floor) was friendly and very courteous. She explained the menu and answered questions. The concept is excellent, clever; however I wish the fish and shellfish were more top quality. We tried fish n chips. Flounder seemed to be pre-breaded and frozen. Good chips. Clams and crawfish were small. Good shrimp. The Combo boil was as expected, and my husband liked the house sauce which I did not like at all. It was very greasy and tasted of fake butter. I would prefer no sauces or a sprinkle of Old Bay. Not sure I'd go out of my way for a second visit. read more

I really had no interest of going here. The name wasn't appealing, the pictures, also not great. I basically begged my wife to go after reading the reviews. The food was tremendous, and the restaurant is beautiful. We ordered, I believe, Boil C. Pound of snow crab, half pound (pick 2) each of mussels, crawfish, crabs, kiwi mussels or shrimp, plus 2 potatoes and 2 pieces of corn on the cob. We did the mussels and shrimp. You have a choice of sauces, but the house special combines all 3. Do that! It was one of the tastiest sauces I ever had. And yes, the presentation isn't pretty. A bag with seafood in it and a bucket. Once it hits the table out of the bag is when the real carnage begins. They give you gloves to eat with and a sink in the dining room to wash your hands. We also got a half order of seafood fried rice and it was really tasty. For those who say it's expensive, it was under $70 for the boil, two soft drinks, an appetizer and the fried rice. Not cheap, but given market prices, not expensive. We'll be back. read more

I hate to give bad reviews, especially for a small, local business, but I honestly don't get the great reviews. The whole seafood boil thing doesn't work well here. We have been to many of them in other places, and here it was just awkward. The food was just okay, but the servicers were borderline terrible. When we arrived, we were the only ones in the restaurant. The server took forever to wait on us, then brought out everything separately, so one of us was almost finished when the last one got her food. And they just plop the food on the table in front of you in a plastic baggie. And anytime we needed something, we had to wait and search for the server. They don't even bring plates or utensils unless you ask. We even had to ask for salt. She never came by to ask how the food was, or if we needed anything. As for the food, too much grease in the fried rice, too much breading on the okra, too big of a roll for the puny amount of lobster in the sandwich. And the steamed shrimp had obviously been reheated and didn't taste fresh. And their menu is confusing, but they didn't bother to explain it, or even the seafood boil concept. I don't know how people who've never been to a seafood boil manage here. I hope this place makes it, but they definitely need to up their game. read more

I ordered from Jack's Seafood Boil for the first time and it was delicious. They provide a variety of seafood combination options and the customer service was great. The house sauce is the best. The place is clean and comfortable. I will be definitely coming here again. read more

So, we moved to PA from Houston recently and there are three things that we have been missing... 1. Central TX style BBQ 2. Southern style Chicken tenders 3. Asian-Cajun style seafood boils On a whim we tried Jack's today and holy moly... we can cross number 3 off of our list! It was so close to what we had in Texas. The garlic butter sauce was incredible, flavorful. Shrimp, Scallops and crab all perfectly done. The potatoes and corn were perfect as well. Friendly service. It was well worth the hour drive for us to get here. Yes it comes in a bag.. yes... it's supposed to. We can't wait to come back. read more

food was good service was iffy, but definitely would go back. Ambiance was calm and relaxing for a cute little lunch.

Food was great. I had the lobster roll amd loved it. I want to try another dish before I decide to update my review and give it 5 stars

Amazing seafood boil. Visited this place after a show in Atlantic City. We ordered their seafood boil combo which was a perfect decision that came with shrimps, snow crabs, crawfish (tasted a bit fishy), corn and potatoes, and we did order a side of fried rice. Definitely will return, clean restaurant, good food and customer service. read more

Went to Atlantic City and my mother in law requested a seafood boil for her birthday dinner. Found Jack's on Google, and they didn't disappoint. The food was great and the service was excellent. Their seafood fried rice was delicious, their boil bags were excellent, and their french fries were perfectly done They are BYOB, and there is a liquor store up the street from them. If you are in the area, I highly suggest them. read more

I'd decided to go there just by looking on my Apple Maps for something to eat. The restaurant was empty but clean and nice. I ask my wife are you sure you want to eat here because we was a little skeptical because the restaurant was empty. We decided to stay and I order a seafood combo and my wife ordered all shrimp each meal is prepared by strictly steam and was ready in minutes and to my surprise the food was excellent booming with flavor. Magnificent!!!! I will definitely return. read more

Not quite what I expected but was a lot of fun. The seafood was delicious, though my SO had to eat all the clams - they just weren't done enough for me. It worked out because I ate more of the shrimp. We got the mild house spice blend and I'm really glad we didn't get the Cajun because this level was plenty spicy for us. As in, run to the store for some lip balm after we ate kind of good, lol. Likely to come back next time in the area. read more

The food was really good. The vibe was not what I was expecting. I thought it would feel like a seaside seafood restaurant. Never the less, the food was great. Tad bit pricey. read more

Pretty good seafood and taste for the price. They offer everything a typical seafood boil place offers. The snow crabs were alright and the sauces were just right (not too salty). The only complaint I had was that they did not come check up on us so I was eating my rice with my hands (not a huge deal since I had gloves). My friend had to call them over to get service. read more

Food looked amazing but overall taste could have been better. Sauce was pretty thick to our liking but was very bland and not flavorful, just Cajun sauce spices. No real seasoning. read more

The seafood is delicious. I love the sauces that they offer! Recommend this place for seafood lovers

I don't know why people gave this place a two star rating. This is one of the best ASIAN Cajun style seafood boils I've been too. Your supposed to eat with your hands that's why there's gloves provided and a sink nearby. The sauce(s) are on point and range from mild to I'm not scared to have tastebuds for a day or two. The house blend is my favorite and I got it mild because I'm a big baby when it comes to spice. There was plenty of food provided for each combo choice. For me, my experience was exceptional and at the end of the day everyone got something to say good or bad. I'm looking forward to coming back here with my family and or friends. Thank you to whoever thought of bringing this concept to the southern NJ. read more

Yummy Seafood Boil, fresh quality seafood. Even fries and chicken wings are great. Highly recommended
