Crab cake sandwich , Nashville fried flounder & voodoo rum bucket
Angela C.

The service was great, , fresh food & strong drinks . Doesn't get better than that 10/10

Kids cheeseburger and fries

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"

Blackened Scallops w/veggies and rice

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.

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 ??

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!

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.

Virgin Pina Colada
Nina A.

I had a decent experience here. We sat outdoors, in the back. My waitress was very nice. The pasta was alright. Olive Garden quality, but unfortunately at a higher price. The chicken nuggets and fries did seem frozen, but my daughter ate them without a problem. The food is definitely overpriced, but the boardwalk doesn't offer much...I was happy to have pasta after three days of eating fried everything.

Hot dog

Ordered a hot dog. Wasn't expecting to be the size it is. Big hot dog (pause) and it has a lemon taste to it. Tried to cover it with ketchup and still taste the lemon. Wasn't a fan of it. Can't finish it.

The Critical J.

PROS: This place is a restaurant I always wanted to go to when at the beach. They have a great rooftop bar that overlooks the boardwalk and beach. The food is affordable, good, and has a strong variety while the staff is nice. They also have a lower level that caters the same experience to the customers, minus the views CONS: There tends to be a long wait time for the rooftop area which makes it harder to get into vs other bars on the boardwalk OVERALL: If there is a spot for you to eat at on the rooftop I highly suggest for you to take it!

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.

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!

Since it was lunch time we both got the sunset dinner specials which are served from 12:00 - 5:00 pm. Both of our meals came to start with a generous salad (you can also get a bowl of chowder if you aren't interested in salad), soft drink of choice, and dessert. (I got carrot cake and my mom got chocolate cake) The food was extremely fresh and came out very quick. The restaurant itself was also clean and we had a beautiful view of the water with the docked boats. Food - Broiled Jumbo Shrimp - These juicy broiled shrimp were smothered in the most luscious butter sauce. The shrimp itself were very tender and the seasoned butter sauce gave the shrimp an amazing flavor. My meal came with a baked potato that I added some butter too and a side of mixed veggies which were also seasoned nicely. - Coconut Shrimp - These were the most perfect coconut shrimp. Each of the jumbo shrimp were battered in a generous amount of coconut flakes and fried to perfection. These shrimps were crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.

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.

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!
