    Hot Lobster Roll!
    Joseph C.

    I was working nearby and had dinner here. I had a Hot Lobster Roll and Mussels Marinara, both were absolutely Excellent and so delicious. This place has a rustic right off the boat atmosphere, not fancy but the quality of the food is top notch. The Lobster Roll I had could easily compete with more famous places in Maine. If you're in Bay Head on Vacation try this place.

    We just had dinner here and the food was filling and fresh. The portions were great. The presentation of the food was nice. The fries were also so good. The staff were friendly and kind. My 8 year old said our waiter was the nicest guy and he really was!! We will be back! Highly recommend.

    Great seafood at a great price. The fish sandwiches are really good. Fresh oysters and other seafood is always on point. We also like the coconut shrimp. I also just wrote this review to upload a menu picture.

    I really love this place! Food is solid. We tried the shrimp, scallops, crab cake, lobster all were really good and prices were actually reasonable! We got so much food for a good price. You pay at the counter and they bring your food out to the picnic tables or there are a few seats inside. They also have cornhole set up outside and it is conveniently located right on Mantoloking road. In addition to cooked food you can also buy fresh fish to cook at home. Everything was fresh and tasty. I will definitely be back!

    See all

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.

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!

Many people enjoy the interaction that we engage in at the post office, the gas station, the barber shop, the butcher, the fruit store, etc. Here there seems to be a very definite history of the great staff members moving on, sometimes with little or no notice, and it has impacted the comfort level for me, and for many of the people who also frequented the store. The product has been good, at times excellent, but the overall experience has been greatly diminished by some real nice people who were employed there leaving. I don't feel the same joy supporting a business that seems to have a pattern of upsetting what appears to be excellent employees, and this is by no means a negative statement on the new people who come in to replace the one's who leave. I sure the new ones are very nice too. It all just creates this sense of sadness and negativity about and towards the ownership and overall establishment. I guess in life some of us reach an age, or a point, where what we put in our body has to do with more than the food itself. It connects to the vibe, the humanity factor, the trust, etc. I have stopped going to Local 130 after the last person left, almost without exception. And I am a customer who was there a minimum of once a week for several years.

They were barely half full and the noise was not extremely loud. I had the New England clam chowder and as usual it was a great start to the meal. Plenty of clams and potatos in a creamy white sauce. To start the meal they also provided bread sticks with sesame seeds which is a real nice alternative to dinner rolls. With the sticks they also providing a dipping sauce that really tasted great. This the only place I can remember having breadsticks during dinner and loved it. For dinner I had stuffed flounder with rice and vegetables. The fish was prepared real well and came with plenty of crabmeat and stuffing. Inside it was real moist and tasted great. Along with that was rice and mixed vegetables. In the restaraunt the vegetables were a bit harder then I would prefer but when I reheated the meal at home they were perfect. But if you you are an al dente vegetable they would be fine for you. My wife picked something off the specials of the day. Shrimp, Mahi, broccoli, mushrooms, pine nuts all over rice. She felt this was a great meal and would definitely get it again. It was a nice blend of a bunch of tastes and textures, and the pine nuts are always a great addition to a meal. With less people to deal with the service was right on point, with several returns to our table to make sure everything was well. I feel you will always have a great meal here. But at times there will be a wait to get a table and it will be a bit loud... But in my mind you will always walk out smiling
