Boardwalk Bar & Grill
Jeff M.

Boardwalk Bar & Grill 401 Boardwalk Point Pleasant, NJ 08742 Blue Hawaiian Frozen Margarita This frozen margarita is excellent for a hot summer day as it will definitely cool you down. This frosty cocktail is mixed with tequila, pineapple, blue curacao with salt along the rim and a couple of pineapple slices. As a bonus, the AC exemplified the dining experience and was a great way to escape the summer heat. #BoardwalkBarAndGrill #bluehawaiianfrozenmargarita #foodstagram #njboardwalk

Drunken Arnie Palmer and classic mojito
Lexie K.

Young bartender was very nice and attentive. It wasn't busy so we were able to talk to him and he gave great recommendations for the area. Cool upstairs bar- not open that late but fun beach view and breeze. Classic mojito is good. Basic but good fresh mint flavor Drunken Arnie Palmer- sweet and tangy. Clearly taste the peach and orange flavors

Mixed seafood platter broiled. I thought it was great.

I'm giving this place three stars because the service was good, my waitress was very friendly. They have a really cool view of the boardwalk from the outdoor section of the restaurant. And the dish I ordered was pretty good. I dined here with my 10-year-old daughter. She told me she just wanted pasta with salt and butter, quite the flavor profile she has. This item was not on the menu. However once I explained it to the waitress she said sure they can make that. I wanted something somewhat healthy so I ordered the broiled seafood dish with vegetables and mashed potatoes. My daughter and I had a good time people watching everyone on the boardwalk at around 9:30 at night. A Lot of characters walking around. When our food arrived my daughter is very happy with your dish. I also loved my dish, now it wasn't a highest of quality of fish and most of the seafood pieces were small. But it all tasted very good and was not overcooked. It was doused in some type of butter sauce . I was part of the clean clean plate club that night so I really can't complain. I would definitely return here just to sit outside and people watch. This is the type of place where you can't expect a five-star dining experience. It's a Shore bar that happens to sell food. The prices are not that expensive either. I would definitely return it. You just got to watch what you order.

After a fun filled at at the beach and boardwalk, we came to check out Boardwalk Bar and Grill. We didn't wait long for a rooftop seat to enjoy the beautiful beach and boardwalk views. Our server was great, she was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed and wanted (I wish I remembered her name!). We started with the nachos which were ok. It just reminded me of Tostitos with sub par toppings. I really enjoyed my California Dreaming salad -- it was pretty big and the flavors were there! It was sweet and savory. Definitely a nice refreshing salad for a hot day.

Penne pasta

Really crowded, would recommend y'all to plan your visit. Luckily we got a table upstairs with the best views of the boardwalk and the beach. They took so much time to get our order that we had to request someone to attend us but the waitress compensated by checking on us every 20-30 mins going forward. The menu had no veggie options except for appetizers and kids menu. I had to resort to a pasta without the meat proteins. That worked out well and was recommend to us. Also got the coconut shrimp which my wife loved and said it was a little more "coconutty"

Oh !! So here's what I gave to say about this place ... The beach view is really beautiful from the roof and the food there is always good , our bartender was very helpful and nice too . The down side was the bathroom was absolutely horrible :( , I understand this is a beach bar but they should clean the bathroom more frequently. The hostess was RUDE , she kept saying there was a waiting list and yet we walked upstairs to the bar and there were about 8 tables empty , so what was the waiting list for ? I sat there for about 4 hours and the majority of those 8 tables were still empty . What was the waiting list for ? Waiting for her to become a pleasant person ??

Blackened Scallops w/veggies and rice
Marc M.

Best boardwalk "Blackened Scallops". Always like finding a seat upstairs, nice bar and seating, servers are always friendly and view of ocean and boardwalk are great. A great boardwalk bar and grill.

Coconut Shrimp
Matthew S.

Very good coconut shrimp and fries. A little on the pricier side for food, but the happy hour drink special are very worth it. Great pina coladas and cold draft beer.

Brian R.

There is an option between sitting upstairs and having a view of the beach or sitting downstairs. The floors both have different menus and drink specials. We sat downstairs for 1/2 priced margaritas and pina colada's. I thought the hostess and our sever were both really nice. The guacamole was really good. Our drinks seemed a little strong and I think likely the cause of our stomach aches. The shrimp tacos really smelt like shit. My date was explaining to me that they smell like shit because they are boiled, but I think she was talking shit as well. I appreciate that slot of placed have fun with fish tacos but these were pretty generic. At least they didn't taste like shit too, maybe they were the cause of the stomach aches, we may never know. We shared the blackened salmon and it was phenomenal. The crunchy flavorful skin amd tender center went together nicely. The rice was also good. I don't fuck with refried beans. The cost was a little high, but consistent with everything on the boardwalk being overpriced. They used paper straws but I'm still very disappointed to see plastic ramekins and plastic utensils being used at all, especially at a restaurant at the beach.

Margarita for two
Jill D.

Boardwalk Bar & Grill is a simple bar, in a great location. Being that there are a small list of bars on this boardwalk (2 others being huge venues with a lot to offer), this bar really needs to step it up. We came on a Friday night and sat upstairs. It was not busy yet the bartenders took a while to come over to take our drinks. They are not too attentive. We ordered the 42oz Margarita for two. After filling the glass with ice, the liquid probably equaled about 2 drinks, totally NOT worth it. Plus side: got to keep the glass, only rooftop on the boardwalk, two decent sized bars, kid friendly Kinda disappointed.

Penne, marinara on the side
Aimee K.

We had a terrific experience at Boardwalk Bar & Grill. We were a party of 6 on a Wednesday night. Luckily they had a table for us on the rooftop. Our server was fantastic. She gave us plenty of time (with no pressure) to decide what we wanted. The food was ready faster than we expected. Burgers were huge, fresh and cooked to order with a nice, chewy kaiser roll. The fries were definitely made with fresh potatoes and perfectly done! The chicken quesadilla was loaded with chicken and cheese. Pasta was delivered as promised with marinara on the side. Even though they were busy we never felt rushed. Great choice for dinner!

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.

Of course the parking was full but we looped around a couple times and were able to find something close. What we ordered: - Caesar Salad - Crab Rangoon Mozzarella Sticks - Tuna Nachos (wonton chips, sesame seed tuna, seaweed salad, sesame teriyaki, avocado aioli) - New England Clam Chowder - Cold Lobster Roll platter with fries, coleslaw, and pickle The service was fine, a couple of items forgotten but it was a lot of people and they had no issue going back and checking for us. Food was ok, exactly what I thought it would be at a seafood place by the shore. The best thing was the tuna nachos in my opinion. I would return if I'm ever in the area.

Late night dinner after big bday celebration!…read more Our server was Katie-friendly, attentive and fast! Great smile too! I ordered the crab cake sandwich; my husband ordered the fried flounder sandwich. Both came with housemade fries. Fries were piled high; the flounder was so big we think it may have been a whole fish! The crab cake was fluffy backfin (VERY light on the "filler"-yay!) with a beautiful crust. I still had on my tiara and got lots of "Happy Birthday!" Wishes from staff as they passed by. We were too full for dessert, so we passed. But our server surprised me with a slice of homemade key lime pie complete with candle and singing colleagues! We'll be back soon for more tasty nibbles and treats!

If you find yourself at the shore and only have time for one restaurant, this is the ONE! Others may have incorporated the concept of trawler-to-table, where restaurant-owned vessels harvest the daily menu specials, but AOF has perfected it. They have an adjoining fish market where you can review the catch and board of fare, and see what appeals to you. I was very impressed with the freshness, variety, and quality (including many deep water cold Atlantic species including cod, ling, monkfish, plus mussels, oysters, etc.) Service was exemplary, execution was flawless, and taste was sublime. Setting is natural, old school, lots of local character and family friendly.

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!

Food average , portions , not counting Pasta, average. 4 meals one drink 170 dollars, left 200 cash. Service waiter was average, we had a reservation but still had to wait 35 minutes we were seated at a table in the back with no view. So for the price, the service , the ambiance, with a reservation and waiting 35 minutes, My opnion it is more of a tourist trap, a step up from Boardwalk food, but you can find better, cheaper and nicer elsewhere Its your money spend it wisely, For me I will not be returning.

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.
