    Felicia!

    Wow! Absolutely amazing, loved the sunset it was so beautiful tonight ANDDDD MY SERVER FELICIA! No words can describe how amazing she was for us, she REALLLYYYY went ABOVE and beyond. She is great so I tipped her 200% . You have to request her next time you come in!

    Sunset from where we were sitting

    Beautiful place to watch the sunset. Lots of locals and frequent customers from how the staff engaged with everyone. We had mahi mahi and tuna tacos, they were fine but the sunset was the star of the evening.

    salty clams with garlicky broth

    This place is a very long wait, but great sunset views amongst a dive-y, outdoor, fisherman atmosphere. Fish chowder soup is very generous with pieces of seafood in it, hearty. Must get the clams in garlic butter sauce--very tasty and large for sharing. Scallops were chewy and not cooked well. Place is still worth a try if you get there early enough. BYOB!

    The Best Sunset in LBI. Our waitress Kate was also fantastic and we went with her recommendations. Both my husband and I got the lobster rolls... Very yummy!!!

    The perfect view of the sunset.

    Love this place! It has the best waterfront seats for a Long Beach Island sunset dinner and I mean THE BEST!!! This place is a gem, the food and the view are amazing, better than any of the rooftop bars nearby. The restaurant is at the marina, you can dock your boat there while you dine. Bruce and I were lucky, we got the best high top seats right in front of the ocean and they were the best front row seats for the most captivating LBI sunset. The restaurant doesn't have a bartender but they do serve a great wine by the bottle or you can BYOB. We ordered a bottle of white wine, the Thai Chili Wings, and Clam Bake to share. Both dishes were one of the best I've ever had and the house picked pinot Grigio were the perfect pairing to this awesome meal. The atmosphere was relaxed with soft live music, awesome food, awesome wine, awesome service, beautiful view, great conversations, and a friendly crowd. So happy Bruce took me there, we had a really nice time. It was a perfect dinner spot for our little weekend getaway before the end of the summer

    This place is absolutely awesome! Cozy outdoor spot with convenient dock and dine makes this a regular stop for us. The clams and seared tuna are a win win if you are wondering what to order..... Food is always 10 stars and the service is off the charts. Our regular server Rose always greets us with big smile and makes us feel like VIP's every single time. We always call ahead and make sure she is before we head out.. Almost forgot to mention this is the best spot on the island sunsets while you dine! Polly's Dock is our #1 pick all summer!!!

    Seared Seseme Tuna

    We stopped by for dinner on Monday night. The atmosphere is casual which is perfect when a bunch of kids. We got the clams in garlic and they were devoured. My only complaint is they could have given more then 2 pieces of bread so we all could dip in the sauce!! I ordered the sesame crusted tuna and it was awesome! It was seared perfectly and I have to say it was one of the best cooked and most fresh pieces of tuna I have had! We got the wings which my son said were pretty good but not his favorite and he got the cheese stake that he really enjoyed. We got the halibut sandwich, it was pretty good, but it had a little bit of a fishy taste to it and we didn't finish it. I was a little surprised we waiting a very long time to get the food since it wasn't that packed, but the food was worth the wait.

    Whoa boy put your helmet on these are ridiculous!!!!!

If you can get a reservation here, book it!

I have been to Parker's Garage a few times in the past. I have always found the restaurant to be overpriced and their food over salted. The only reason I agreed to go this last time was at a request by a friend. I figured I would give them one more shot. Boy, was that the wrong decision? To start with we all struggled to find something on the menu to suit our taste. Additionally, everything was quite overpriced for what you get. The crabcake dinner is the most expensive on the island that I have seen at $66. Their fish selections were reasonably priced until you discover that they are rather small and à la carte. I ended up ordering the chopped cabbage salad, which didn't seem to have much chopped cabbage in it and was mostly Peanuts and a crunchy material that seem like Funions. it was also super salty and generally un edible. For my main meal, I ordered the monk fish. this was unlike any month fish I have ever had before. It seemed to have a very adherent skin on it that was rubbery and difficult to remove from the Meat. It also was incredibly salty. Lastly, we ordered the brussels sprouts again, they were the most salty thing I have ever had and we're basically inedible. I unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant, especially if you have high blood pressure

The French fried lobster and the crab cakes are delicious, but my personal favorite is the blackened tuna steak. The apps and sides (calamari, clams scampi, etc.) are also tasty. Portions and sides are generous. You will not leave Howard's hungry! The servers are friendly, and not overly attentive. Just right. My one suggestion: Freshen it up a bit! Would love to see more nightly specials, some new sauces, and vegetable options beyond broccoli.

    Wow. My boyfriend's been mentioning going to Howard's for…read moreliterally years now. I always kind of shrugged it off because I thought "fried lobster? Ehhhh questionable." I was WRONG. It's delicious. The service is great, the restaurant itself is beautiful. Depending on where you sit you have a wonderful view of the bay. We started with the clams. Skip these, I'm a huge fan of steamers and these were just not flavorful. The broth was basically water but whatever - you're not there for clams you're there for the French fried lobster. I decided on the French fried lobster and a clam cake. Delicious. I don't know what sorcery this is but the lobster fried makes it so tender. The crab cake was absolutely scrumptious too. I opted for wild rice as a side. Their salad and cole slaw is exceptionally good too. Another gem is their clam chowder. Now Howard's is not a cheap place but I can see myself ordering clam chowder for take out. With some of their fresh delicious bread. A dream meal. Their chowder might be my absolute favorite on the island and trust me I've tried a lot of chowder. It's really that good. Go to Howard's, you won't regret it.
