Fun locals' bar. Good vibe inside. Friendly, efficient service. Spicy green beans are a great starter. Also had the famous roast beef sandwich. Added provolone and got a side of horse radish. Was it as good as I had heard? No. A little lacking in flavor. But it was good. And lots of meat. And served hot. read more

A true blue collar bar. It's got that old vibe with wood all over. Great ocean beach decorations. They have a decent sized rear patio for the summer. The kitchen has been really good. It has from scratch homemade items. The drinks are sizeable and of normal price. The service has been fun and friendly. CASH ONLY but has an ATM read more

Stopped in while passing it not realizing how hungry we were. First time inside after passing it thousands of times. WOW, if walls could talk. I felt like a kid again before LBI became the LBI it is Post Sandy... I can imagine all the Baymen of yesterday belly-ing up to the bar and drinking away their nights. Although the inside isn't all loungy and tapas like, it doesn't want to be, nor NEED to be. It's EXTREMELY clean inside and nostalgic. We will be back for sure. My wife and I started with shrimp poppers which were awesome and we both had their 'famous' roast beef which was piled high on a VERY soft kaiser roll with awesome pickled (?????) red and green sweet peppers which added an amazing compliment to the sandwich. GREAT STOP!!!! read more

Don't even bother getting the menu, unless you are undecided about sides. GET THE ROAST BEEF SANDWICH. Once you do, you'll be hooked and have to stop in every time you're on LBI. This is a "locals" bar, but they are courteous to us summer visitors. I was hangry and needed something before the traditional Bay Village shopping trip. The tender juicy roast beef sandwich on a perfect hard roll comes with au jus to dip. You can get cheese too (I did provolone). We also shared a basket of fries that came out piping hot. Dipped the fries in the au jus too! You won't be disappointed with this sandwich. Sorry, was so anxious to eat, I didn't take a photo....next time. read more

Stopped in here this past Friday evening with two of my good pals, we were all staying in a house in Surf City for a brief reunion. Our Uber driver earlier in the day had recommended this bar, so we walked 25 mins from our house to the bar. When we arrived, I asked about the pool table they're supposed to have and apparently it was taken out for the season! This was disappointing as we were there to shoot some pool and drink beers. We sat at the bar, pints of summer ale were 5$ and the bartenders were great. The other patrons of the bar ranged in age, the bathrooms were clean. Overall OK spot. read more

I love this place, it's a new LBI favorite! Great food, excellent service, and nice laid back atmosphere. The beach is right down the block, you can see it right from your table. And yes, they are open for outdoor dining amid COVID-19 craziness. PS: Pay no mind to all the lackluster millennial reviews below about the food. This is excellent, old fashioned, reasonably priced, non-greasy bar food, not some fancy hipster bar or a 5-star restaurant. Casual night out with a drink. If you want fancier cuisine, get a better job & look elsewhere. read more

Had a nice family dinner here. Mom wanted to go, I know I had been here at least once before. Walking in I did recognize it. Bar to the back with tables around. Very much a locals place, not in a scary way, you can just tell pretty much everyone there knew each other. We grabbed a table, and once again Miller High Life bottles. Always gotta give it up to a bar with the courage and fortitude to serve the champagne of beers. We also grabbed some wings which were absolutely delicious. The Sandy sauce was good, I'm guessing it is a blend of everything because it had a tiny kick, but also a garlicky bite. This place is known for its version of the French dip, so how could I not try it? I got mine with provolone cheese. It comes with the normal roast beef on a kaiser roll with sweet peppers. The peppers are actually served next to the sandwich so kinda up to you. I thought the peppers and cheese went well, the au jus was delicious. I cleaned that plate. Also tried the Colorado fries. These are easily skippable. They are just those coated fries, nothing special. The place itself was nice and clean. The waitress was attentive and everything was good. Nice spot. read more

#portholecafe #boomerbitchreviews Talk about the 'Local Yocal' place, have been coming to LBI for quite some time. So many pretentious places in LBI so to find this diamond in the rough was fabulous. Cash only, packed bar scene with the local people. Famous for roast beef sandwiches, I don't personally eat red meat but my partner LOVED his sandwich. My food has always been good. Service is fun and friendly. Grab a drink at the bar, watch some sports if you like, it's all good at Port Hole Cafe. #portholecafe #boomerbitchreviews read more

As a local to Ship Bottom, I can attest that this is a true local dive bar. There is nothing fancy about it, but sometimes that is exactly what you're looking for. Their prices are very reasonable on an island that is generally expensive because it is a tourist destination. You can go in for a quick drink and bite to eat or hang out for a while. There is a large bar to sit at as well as tables if you choose. They have a pretty basic bar menu, but what they do, they do pretty well. The sign outside of the bar boasts "world-famous roast beef sandwiches," which is my go-to meal, along with onion rings, when I come in for dinner. Now, world famous may be a bit of a stretch, but they are very tasty. The onion rings are also delicious. They have a full bar, but in my estimation, it is a beer/wine/simple cocktail (think whiskey ginger) kind of place. read more
