The fish was incredibly fresh and the pricing was very reasonable. We tried to ask some qs, but didn't get a lot of help. That being said, it was a Saturday morning and very busy so we won't fault them for that. I'm sure that's not the case on a normal day. Definitely head to Ortley if you're in need of some very fresh fish!

Our order was ready in a flash: 1lb clam strips - fresh & hot, with cocktail & tartar sauces 1/2lb shrimp salad - plump shrimp in a simple mayo, celery, who knows what else dressing Jumbo shrimp cocktail - these huge shrimp were 3 bites each, & needed nothing else but lemon & cocktail sauce I had never seen crab sauce before - it's apparently one whole crab per container of red sauce! There was an empty shelf in the fridge & we learned that it was clam sauce that was so popular it was sold out (made in the morning). Both the New England & the Manhattan chowders sounded tempting, as was the jambalaya & lobster rolls. So tempting, that we came back the very next morning to have the same lunch & also pre-order 4 paellas to go. A couple hours later, the hot paella was packed securely for us. It was heavy, and looked & smelled amazing. It fed a lot of impressed people! Warm service, seats to eat in, lots of people coming to take out or get seafood to cook at home. This is the place for fresh seafood!

The coconut shrimp in the Wow Roll was a standout moment. Light, crispy, and perfectly balanced. The warm lobster roll was generous and satisfying! Service was friendly and quick without feeling rushed. They have a connected indoor seating area and a covered outdoor space, the indoor space was packed.

We started with chowder, one Manhattan and one New England- both fantastic. Two appetizers- the fried clam strips and the tuna tartare sushi - another win/win! For the entrees we took one from the specials, a blackened Mahi Mahi with lemon mashed potatoes and green beans which was sublime. For the other we tried a lobster taco that came with a choice of salad or hand cut fries. We went the fry route. They were great. Notes: it's a small place, they do not take reservations so you will wait for a table, however, they will text you when it's ready. They do sell wine or byob - your choice. They have a fish market and their own fishing boats and are proud to serve their own caught fish. This seems to be a local favorite in the Point Pleasant area. It will be crowded- it will be worth the wait. Come comfortable, it's laid back and it's all about enjoying really good seafood!

There is a to go area, bathroom, and then indoor seating area. They have merchandise behind the register. Started with the tuna nachos and crab rangoon mozzarella sticks. Tuna was good quality and had a good coating of sesame seeds. My perfect bite was tuna, orange sauce, seaweed, tomato, & onion. The chips were perfectly crispy. The crab rangoon was surprisingly good. This appetizer is what made me pick this place. Such a good combination. Didn't need the marinera sauce. Next up soups. Lobster bisque was ok. I guess I was expecting it to be a little more rich. But it was good, it tasted exactly like lobster and I got good chunks in the soup too. Now the shrimp and corn chowder was super flavorful. Favorite dish of the meal. For mains, cold lobster roll and two tails w butter and side salad. Side salad was well dressed and I appreciate the ribbons of Parmesan. The lobster was mostly cooked right. There was one that was a bit chewy. Added salt and butter but felt like something was missing still. I couldn't find a good combo of toppings to go with the lobster. The cold lobster roll was alright. The potato bread added a good sweet flavor that complimented the lobster. Overall a decent meal.

When visiting the area each year, we used to get softshell crab platters here as a snack after a…read moreday at the beach. The fries are still good, but the softshell crabs were disappointing. Not only has the price gone up but almost 8 or 9 dollars, but she crabs themselves seemed smaller and prepared with too much panko crusting. They used to have big beautiful softshell crabs sitting on ice on the retail side, but I didn't notice any this time. Maybe they just don't have them on hand like they used to and maybe these were frozen. Either way, disappointing considering the large price increase (partly due to this item no longer even being on the "takeout menu"). It's on the dinner menu though. Also, they are now charging a credit card fee. If you're in the area and want fresh seafood, just be mindful of what you're getting. See the latest pictures of the takeout menu that I took. Also, there are some other places around to consider.

WOW, I'll apologize for failing to take substantial pics…read more The place is small, no seating inside, it's plain, nothing too fancy with a Snapple cooler on the right and a small ice cream cooler on the left. We ordered 2 lobster rolls and a turkey sub. I ordered a Maine lobster - lobster meat and mayo. My daughter got the LBI roll - lobster meat, avocado, tomato and mayo. My wife ordered the west coast turkey - turkey, Swiss, avocado and citrus mayo All sandwiches were loaded w meat. They were fresh and tasty. The amount of meat in the turkey sandwich was ridiculous. Service was quick and friendly. If I have any suggestion, there needs to be a side with the lobster rolls aside from cole slaw. A bag of chips or a side of fries would be nice. Overall we enjoyed the food and I'm a bit concerned that this place is walking distance from my house.

This is probably the 5th or 6th time my husband & I went to Mystic. Initially it was a 5 star…read morereview-- otherwise we wouldn't have gone back. It's pricey for sure, but it was worth the occasional splurge.... Then they changed their menu-- which at first was great. We had liked their subs, but when we saw the change earlier this summer, the guy working the counter said the change was to focus more on lobster creations. That was pretty much their social media tag line. The first time with the new menu it was pretty great & I enjoyed their tacos. My go-to roll was the Deep South. I'm sure you're wondering-- wait, she said it was great so why the 1 star? Well, we went back this afternoon, after not being back since the day after their menu change. So it's been a few weeks. And omg they have gone downhill fast. I ordered a Deep South roll; my husband got the Beach Haven and we figured we were in for the long haul, so we got an order of Costal Tacos to share, along with an order of what were supposed to be the brined yukon gold potatoes. All of these we've ordered before. None of them were the same as when we got them a few weeks ago. The potatoes weren't brined-- or weren't brined to the same level as they were before. When the menu was changed, the potatoes were addictive & really like nothing we've had before. Now? They were a few flaccid potatoes swimming in some oily muck. Before, they were tossed in a seasoning (bay or rosemary herb). Now? The Bay seasoning was clumped to the bottom of the container & there was the aforementioned pool of muck. Yuck. My husband had no complaints about his roll. It looked appetizing. Mine? Which I've had more than a few times-- was overpowering with a mayo that tasted more like Bay seasoning than chipotle. It was NOT what I had before, which was spicy, but not swimming in mayo. You could see and taste the lobster, which came in large chunks-- so good tail & claw meat. Not the shredded garbage that I had today, which was swimming in this bay flavored mayo. And NO CANDIED JALAPENOS!-- which are the maker of this roll. At $20.99 the roll should have been perfect. Not this garbage roll. The final insult-- the Costal Taco. Brown avocado. No Key Lime Jelly. Overwhelming with coarsely chopped red onion-- which I can still taste 6 hours later. Very light on the lobster. Very heavy on the greens, which were wilted. And several pieces of shell. I thought this was my go-to Lobster place. No longer. Changing their menu sounded like a good idea IF they were going to focus on producing the best lobster roll around. Now, with the increased prices what we were served today was just insulting. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

This was our first visit and it definitely will not be our last. The service was so friendly and nice, they really make you feel right at home and I could see you coming into this place on a regular basis. We were that satisfied with this place.

Two days ago, I bought thinly sliced chicken breasts and my go-to favorite, their red skin potato salad. I eat that potato salad almost every time I go in, so I was excited to dig in. But the second I took a bite, I knew something was off, it literally fizzed on my tongue. Then I opened the chicken, and it reeked so badly it stunk up my whole kitchen. I'm not the type to complain, but this felt serious. So I called them, explained what happened, and was told to come in. I went in with zero attitude, polite, calm, and not accusatory at all, just hoping to let them know and have it made right. That's where things went downhill. The entire interaction made me feel like I was being gaslit. I work in customer service myself, and even if you don't agree with a customer, you validate their concern and work toward a solution. Instead, the woman, Michelle, sniffed both items, claimed she smelled nothing, and flatly said, "What do you want me to do, you want your money back?" The tone was dismissive and rude. If it were me, I would've said something like, "I'm sorry these don't seem right to you, let me grab you fresh ones." That's how you keep a customer. Instead, she said she'd replace the potato salad and then sent me home with the exact same one. I even agreed to take back the same package of chicken. The kicker? She probably didn't realize I had sprinkled flaky salt on the potato salad before I tasted it the first time, and that same salt was still sitting on top when I got it back home. I left feeling embarrassed and unwelcome, like I should never show my face there again. And honestly, that hurts the most, because I really did love this place.
