Food and service were excellent. Very accommodating to our family of three. Oysters were very fresh.

Don't normally give reviews, but this place was amazing! Service makes you feel like you're being served by everyone and the food is off the hook ;) highly recommend coming by here if you're in LBI read more

Stumbled across this place during MDW and we were so lucky!!! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was great despite the crowd, and everyone was so friendly. For a small place during Memorial Day weekend, we barely waited. think it's also byob it had just begun so we didn't realize until we got there. Maybe we got lucky but we are definitely going back!! read more

We stumbled onto this restaurant by chance and it did NOT disappoint! Great unique menu items. Friendly staff. Two thumbs up!

Exactly what a clam shack is supposed to be. Everything is shucked right in front of you. BYOB with tubs of ice for beer and wine. Owner is a cool dude also. read more

Great food and great service. The chowder is amazing!!!!! Like amazing!!! And the mac and cheese is so delicious too. Our new favorite spot!! read more

Formerly the clam shack where the world's strictest proprietor would kick you out for being on your phone, this local has reinvented itself as a smart casual restaurant with exceptional seafood and a nice ambiance. Main recco is put a swinger thing on the bathroom door so it slams shut on the natural, so nobody eating need look at the toilet. read more

BEST. MEAL. EVER. Wow what a place great food great atmosphere best dinner I've had on LBI in all the years we've been coming - almost 15 years read more

Food was amazing so family frienndly service is so good. Like what else could make this better

Amazing food and great vegetarian options despite being a seafood restaurant. I ordered the Mexi-Cali crunch salad and tuna tostadas and they were so flavorful and refreshing. The lemonade was also surprisingly good and obviously freshly squeezed. This place deserves more attention! read more

Excellent food. Oysters were delicious. Duck wings were meaty and spicy. Summer salad was out of this world and the shrimp poor boy is a must try. BYO but they have wines by the bottle or glass. read more

Excellent service and absolutely delicious food! Love the vibe, great atmosphere and playlist! Staff were lovely, it was our first time, sat outside and after just a few minutes the skies opened, staff quickly found space for us inside and served our food seamlessly. read more

Fantastic food! Great service Lobster roll loaded with lobster Fish tacos perfectly seasoned. Turf? You have to try the dock and Claw burger Going back for sure read more

We could not have asked for a better experience our first night in town. A party of 12, we were graciously accommodated without delay -- teens outside, adults at the raw bar. The tuna nachos were outstanding! We ordered another after polishing off the first, along with little necks, oysters and the burrata bruschetta. The fish tacos were also a big hit. The atmosphere was low key and the service was excellent. We have already scouted out what time they open tomorrow and will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding food and friendly atmosphere. I'm excited to return and try other entrees.

I usually don't post reviews but I have been here a few times and feel like it is my duty as a long time LBIer to spread awareness. The food is absolutely fantastic! My favorites include the duck wings, Cesar salad, clam steamers and ALL of their specials are always delightful. My favorite special was the shrimp ceviche! I am still thinking about how great that dang ceviche was. The service is fun and the ambience is casual. Perfect for an easy meal after the beach. Throw your name on the chalkboard crack, open a cold beer or bottle of wine and get ready for an authentic LBI night! Special shout-out to some of the employees there who always make our evenings unforgettable- Kevin, Maria, Steve, Grace!!!!!! Dock and claw is a must visit if you are in the area :) read more

They're the new Black Whale or Delaware Ouster House. Best clam chowder on island! Food is good but catering is a mess! One time catering replaced an item without telling and delivered too late to say no. Second time they forgot and while they delivered food it was an hour after food was supposed to arrive. Bottom line is they are for shoobies and not locals read more

Amazing food and service and to add the ambiance was perfect ! The clams in the white wine sauce was impeccable! read more

Must try new restaurant!! Inviting and unbelievable menu of local and comfort recipes. Lobster roll, Mexican street corn on the cob, fresh tuna poke bowl all perfect 10's. Terrific owners and staff that really care about your experience. read more

Kathy S. I live and work on LBI and my husband and I have had years of opportunity to discover, enjoy and support local food establishments. Kevin and Steve have created a perfect place for locals and visitors to go to enjoy excellent food, a relaxing and inviting atmosphere and an overall perfect "beach" experience. Wear your t-shirts and shorts; ride your bikes and bring your own wine and/or beer for a laid back, friendly and fun time as you try to choose from the tried and true menu options. They know what they're doing and it shows! read more

This place is legit. One of the owners named Steve is an English gentleman and couldn't be a nicer guy. We had a lobster roll and shrimp Po boy sandwich and they were absolutely delicious. They also came with crispy and fantastic fries. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back. read more

While biking around the island, we ended up at this eatery, myself, my partner, and my 17-year-old son. I was immediately greeted by a friendly server and seated outside. I would definitely recommend their seafood, i.e. steamed clams, New England clam chowder that is among the best I've ever had, and some of the most delicious fish tacos I have ever had as well! The only downside (shame on me, I did not do my research, enough) was that they do not serve any alcohol except wine. So remember to bring your own cocktail of choice to this establishment, enjoy the sunset over the bay, the fun divey bar, and the wonderful service! read more

I had the Korean calamari. It was very tasty and delicious with hints of spicy Korean sauce. The wait staff is tentative and friendly. The are also knowledgeable about the food offerings. read more

Just what we were looking for! Nice casual vibe - kid friendly. Jumbo Jenga was a hit with my grandson while we waited for our table. All our food choices were great. Sorry - no photos. We were too hungry! read more

The food is delicious! We enjoyed the service and the place is cute and casual. And it's BYOB!

Stellar food and even better people running the spot. Kev, Steve, Maria, and the crew deliver delightful meals with a cool out beach vibe.

The clams were bitter & tasteless! I ordered oysters as well & they only had one type of sauce! We stopped there to try the clam chowder was 5/10! read more

Great food, service and ambiance!!! I definitely recommend going there. Oysters, clams, crab....Everything!!

Great service and fresh delectable food. The mussels in garlic sauce were so good we were practically drinking the sauce to savor the taste!

This was a big let down. With glowing reviews and a casual atmosphere we had high hopes. Unfortunately they had no local oyster offerings when we stopped in. We went with the PEI options. As we watched them being shucked we were disappointed to see the briny liquor being dumped and one of them oddly being rinsed under running water after being opened. Once they arrived the oysters were suspiciously warm. Needless to say we did not finish them. There are much better oyster spots on the island offering not only better quality shuckers but also better food safety practices. read more

Heard great things about this new BYO on Centre Street in Beach Haven so was looking forward to trying it. The buzz was spot on- varied menu, fresh & delicious food (can personally vouch for the oysters, tuna poke nachos, lobster roll and blueberry & goat cheese salad). Super friendly staff and great vibe - we will definitely be back! read more

Great food. So glad to see that have not changed the giant horseshoe counter with clam shucking and food prep in the middle.

This place has amazing food! A hidden gem. Had the poke nachos, shrimp tacos & the lobster roll. BYOB and relax inside or out. Can't wait to go back! read more

Place is awesome ! Best clam chowder we have ever had in LBI . I had the mussels and they were amazing as well. My family had the burgers which they loved and the duck wings were so good . I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting LBI. read more

Small place with a great atmosphere, great food, and food prices, best of all is the people! Don't be surprised if one of the locals start up a conversation soon after you sit down. You will feel as though they were all just waiting for you to show up. Wherever you go, don't miss this place for a good time and great food! read more
