5+++++ Star Review for The Lighthouse, Surf City, NJ Absolutely loved LOVED our visit to The Lighthouse in Surf City! Everything was on point from start to finish. We had the wings, fish tacos, and a chicken sandwich -- and each dish was better than the last. The wings were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the fish tacos were fresh and had just the right amount of kick, and the chicken sandwich was juicy and satisfying. The vibe of the place was beachy, welcoming, and laid-back -- just what you want at the Shore. Service was fast and friendly, food came out hot, and everything tasted made with care. Definitely a hidden gem and worth every star. We'll be back for sure!

Lighthouse deli is an OG In LBI. I have been eating bagels here since birf foo then I found the sandwiches and I ate lighthouse deli.

Another incredible meal at the lighthouse.

The food service and location are exceptional. I love this place for breakfast. The people are always so friendly and the bagels are fresh omelettes are delicious. You actually can't go wrong... The best tuna fish ever.

Fantastic breakfast! Huge fresh bagel selection. They say they have the best bagels on the island...and they're right!! Quick and friendly service. We can't wait to go back to try more of the bagels or some of the lunch items.

Pork roll and egg on an everything SPK.  Didn't need to order double meat. They come stacked.

Year 2 for the surf city location and they're going to be top dogs when you make a left over that bridge. 30 different style bagels , the subs were tremendous looking on seeded sub rolls. Bigger version of their Manahawkin location with both indoor and outdoor seats to chill a bit before getting back on the beach. Nicest people operate this establishment and don't think cuz it's called a deli it doesn't have the best bagels on both the island and the mainland.

Weave been getting our bagels from a place up the street FOR YEARS and I will never go back because the Lighthouse Deli has the best bagels on the Island.

Pretty darn good. Would have given 4.5 stars but it was good enough that it pushed it over the…read moreedge. First, they get a lot of props for being able to join the line/waitlist online. Google search them to do so. Didn't have to leave the house until the time got a lot closer. It was a touch longer than what they had estimated but we left to there and only had to wait about 10 minutes. You'll need that time to find a bit of the parking. Inside, the space was nice and bright. This was a breakfast place before this that was already pretty good but a little darker. This had a more beach feel that was appropriate. I wonder if they were going to put tables outside as it looked like space was cornered off. Food was pretty good but would suggest some tweaks. First, the potatoes / home fries. They were a little mushy - understand you make them in bulk and thank ful you didn't just deep fry a bunch of potatoes and slap them on a plate. These were pretty good but perhaps this was a result of it being late morning. The biscuits really were... bread-y?? They weren't real flaky. It was almost that they were a cross between a biscuit and a scone. They were good. Just, not what I was expecting. The rest of the food was very good and everyone pretty much cleaned their plates...

Service was amazing. Ambiance totally fine: it's bright and airy inside, which is great. Food:…read moresweet stuff was very good (pancakes and waffles a yummy), but the savory stuff left me wanting a bit more (seasoning, flavor) and a bit less (grease). The service truly saved this review and turned it from a 3 star to a 4. They are friendly, attentive, and genuinely sweet! Would go back and order some different stuff.
