We had a lobster roll, New England clam chowder, Manhattan clam chowder, swordfish bites, and brussels sprouts, with bacon and Parmesan, and two unsweetened iced teas. Everything was wonderful. We highly recommend the swordfish bites, they were literally fantastic. You can sit inside or outside, we opted for outside because they had shady little nooks where you could sit that had fans and it was so cool and comfortable. I could've sat there for hours. This is a BYOB. We had also visited the other point lobster house that is in the walkable town a few blocks away and that is a bar so it's not a BYOB.

I ordered the hot lobster roll, and while it was decent, I've definitely had better. It just didn't have the flavor I was expecting, especially considering the price. My wife had the fish sandwich special, and she felt the same , it was okay, but nothing memorable. Overall, the food was average, and we both thought it was a little overpriced for what we got. If you're already in Point Pleasant, it's a convenient place to grab a bite and enjoy the waterfront, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

Restroom is in a separate building off to the side, and there are fishing ships in the back that I walked over to take a closer look at.

But you do, I said, it's on the menu in the seafood boil. The waitress went to the kitchen and return saying we don't sell them separately. It's a seafood place for crying out loud. So we ordered the seafood boil as an appetizer and took the clams out. I ordered the fish tacos, which were just OK. The worst thing about the dish was the bland rice and the black beans that were served apparently right out of the can with no seasoning. You could've at least thrown some spices in them. I had to ask for a side of salsa to give the beans some flavor We had several appetizers and quite a large group. The waitress handled the group very well.

Used to come here with my family each visit to Pt Pleasant, ~20 years ago! I can say it has stayed great and was happy with the food and service overall. We each tried drinks from their menu (coconut mojito and the hibiscus refresh) and both were fantastic and came out promptly. Ordered the coconut shrimp appetizer and they were good, not overly flavorful but decent and fresh. Salads were great. For entrees I had the Truffle Scallops and fettuccine dish, it was amazing. Definitely will be back for that. My dinner companion had one of their specials, a fra di avo lo mixed seafood dish over spaghetti. Also delicious! Our favorite thing here was the scallops by far, don't miss out! The waitstaff and busmen do a fantastic job here. Very attentive and friendly :) Can't wait to come back, thank you Shrimp Box!

What a great dinner…read more.. We decided to drive up to Point Pleasant for our last dinner of the long weekend and point Lobster Bar & Grill was the choice. When we arrived at about 5:40pm the place was packed so it took a few minutes for us to get seated, but no biggie because we didn't make a reservation (if you're here in the beach season, it's a MUST). We got seated in the bar area, but it was right by the window so it was a fantastic seat. Only down side was there was a guy playing music right next to us, but he wasn't super loud so it was fine. Our server, Matthew, was over fairly quickly to take our drink orders. Wifey ordered a Ruby Spritz and I had the French Pear. Both were delicious. For our appetizers my wife started with baked clams and I ordered the Drunk and Angry clams (steamers with lager and cherry peppers) and like the drinks, both were excellent. I was really happy with mine as the level of spiciness was perfect. We also ordered two white sangrias with dinner. Server suggested getting a pitcher if we were going to have more to a one, but we had a bit of a drive and didn't want to chance it. Great job on his part. My wife ordered the Crab Stuffed Flounder - very rich and tasty, but two plates of stuffed food was a little too much. I ordered the Pistachio Crusted Halibut special with jasmine rice, bok choy, and a lemon sauce. WOW it was great. The halibut was ever so slightly overcooked, maybe 60 seconds, but the FLAVOR was amazing. I love bok choy so this dish was a home run. We were too full for dessert, so that was it. We really loved this place and our server, Matthew, was great - friendly and engaging. I would 100% return and try another entree here.

I started with a piña colada, and it was exactly what I needed on a hot day, cold, refreshing, and delicious. For an appetizer, I ordered the clams oreganata, and wow... these were the standout of the meal. The seasoning was absolutely incredible, and I could've easily ordered another plate. Next was the lobster bisque, which was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. For my entrée, I went with the lobster roll, and yummm... I loved it! The lobster was fresh, generously portioned, and the roll hit the spot. I also tried a few bites of my husband's shrimp fra diavolo. It was good, but I've had better. He really enjoyed it though, so if you like a spicy seafood pasta, it's still worth considering. Overall, this was a great waterfront meal with several standout dishes. I'll definitely be back soon!!

Was it super hot? Yes, yes it was. But it was still fun to sit by the water and we enjoyed our meal. My mom had the white wine that was on special and I had a beer. We split the steamers to start and they were cooked perfectly and served with sides of broth and melted butter. My mom had the Flounder Francaise and I had the Lobster meal (market price $42 for 1.5lb lobster). The flounder was absolutely delicious but my mom's sides were very undercooked -- especially the rice. The server brought her new sides and while the green beans were better the rice was still quite hard....just very odd. My lobster was absolutely perfect and delicious served with melted butter, corn on the cob and coleslaw. As I mentioned earlier, we've been to Red's many times and it's always a great experience.

We were really impressed by the location. The Food shack is located right on the beach which is the perfect way to enjoy a lunch on a Summer day in Point Pleasant. They have lots of umbrellaed outdoor seating, and some benches in the sun, so there are options for everyone. They also have some indoor seating, and the inside is adorable. We ordered a swiss grilled cheese with tomato on top, and a BLT. Each item came with pickles and a bag of chips. Each item was priced reasonably, especially considering typical Jersey Shore pricing. My grilled cheese was great. The bread/cheese/tomato ratio was perfect. The cheese was gooey, and stayed gooey even as the sandwich cooled. The bread on the grilled cheese was crispy on the outside and still soft and warm on the inside. I didn't know what to expect from a small shack on the beach, especially with something as simple as a grilled cheese, but I really enjoyed it. The BLT also had a gread tomato/bacon/lettuce/mayo ratio and wasn't too greasy. Overall I will definitely be coming back!

If you are coming later in the season, I would try to reserve. First up -- some nice slices of warm crusty Italian bread and butter. I ordered a cocktail special - the Kelle Belle (or similar) which reminded me of a Pimm's cup. La Portena had her usual Riesling -- no complaints. Lobster bisque was one of the hits, the typical rich broth, with the not so typical actual lobster meat - small bits to be sure, but so often there is no lobster at all. We also shared a lobster roll as a starter - it was good but I would have preferred larger chunks of meat - the roll was accompanied by some tasty tortilla chips. Next up, a complimentary salad - this was fine. I ordered soft shell crabs - they were perfectly fried meaty specimens but the french fries and cole slaw seemed like afterthoughts- the plating was haphazard. La Portena's flounder stuffed with crabmeat was a better plate overall. Two fresh small filets, stuffed with a savory filling and some good mashed potatoes. The glass of New Zealand sauvignon blanc I chose to accompany the crab had the strongest grapefruit nose I have ever experienced. I know these always taste of grapefruit, but this wine was over the top. No room for dessert. Our server was warm and pleasant, and the entire experience transported me back to shore dinners with my parents in the 70s. I would return.
