Lobster Roll Platter
Cheryl S.

Went for a girls night out with a few friends. Wasn't 100% if they were BYOB so I called ahead. Was a nice night out. The fried calamari was cooked perfectly. I had the garlic butter and lemon lobster roll which was fantastic. I did find a piece of shell in my lobster meat however. The gelato I had for dessert was great! Having an ice bucket for our wine was a nice touch, wish more places did that.

More fries
Lucia M.

Got the fries topped with this deliscious homemade cream of New England clam chowder poured right on top of the fries! So so good! Nice size portion and that's all I needed for lunch. Can't wait to get the full meal another time for lunch or dinner. Ambiance is welcoming and puts you in the mood for a lobster or seafood meal.. A seashore feel but in the north. They're a BYOB establishment. They also had a toys for tots collection box up front along with the Christmas display. I would go back to Jack's Surf & Turf anytime...

Lobster Mac & Cheese Bites

We had lunch here yesterday. Our server was very nice and sweet. I thought pricing for seafood was very fair. Quality of seafood was fresh and our food was very good. The New England clam chowder was excellent as were our lobster rolls. Cute inside with two separate areas to sit. Clean. Parking on Bloomfield Ave, side streets, or the museum next door. I'd come back for sure!

Extremely impressed with the ambience and decorum inside. You are greeted with a unique restaurant makeup with one classier dining area and one more casual location within the building. I love the vibes and the getup that Jacks is trying to display; it's very welcoming. The food is no different. It's delicious and unique and I honestly want to return to use a more formal and thorough dining experience. Loved this place!

Hazelnut gelato & brownie
Tande L.

We sat in the section down the steps and it was cold. The dishes were tasty- crispy onion rings, soft and crispy calamari and generous lobster on the rolls. But that brownie was a no for me. It was crumbly instead of soft. However, the hazelnut gelato was delish!

Fries

I went to grab a lobster roll after seeing their $19 promo on IG. I took my dog with me in hopes we could have a nice dinner outside. I haven't been back since 2023 so apparently things and ownership has changed. When I opened the door they was white tablecloths on the tables, a little trio playing music. I was in shorts and had my dog haha I felt so out of place! For one, apparently no more outdoor dining. I went and put my dog in the car and decided I'd just get to go. You have to walk through the nice dining area to get to the more casual side. The owner was there and helpful, he went through the options with me and I ended up getting the lemon garlic butter roll, clam chowder and fries. $40 total The owner started talking to me about the changes they had made, very friendly and even offered to bring a table outside for me and the pup to eat at! But it was really dark, and the restaurant is on a corner. It took me 20 mins to get home, by then the fries were room temp and soggy - what can you do. But also there was a seasoning on them I didn't like, not sure what it was. The chowder was good, good chunks of clam and potatoes The roll - tbh, I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. I can't put my finger on what it was but I didn't love the flavor - but someone else might. I should have just gone with original tbh. Overall the service was very friendly and the food is not bad but probably a better idea to stay and eat there next time.

If you're a lobster lover and seafood lover, this is the place for you. The lobster and oysters were super fresh and you have to try their lobster bomb. It's stuffed with lobster and lobster bisque. The lobster rolls were delicious and packed with lobster you get what you pay for here and I love that great quality.

We've been to Jack's Surf and Turf in Montclair so many times, and the lobster bowl keeps bringing us back--it's that good. The whole menu impresses, but that lobster bowl is simply unforgettable. The ambiance adds a nice formal touch without feeling over the top. Honestly, when we want great seafood with top quality, this is where we go.

Oyster
Adam S.

Wow what a great spot I know it's Valentine's Day but was meeting a friend for lunch cause we are friends but not a couple Place is very cool ambience very retro We split a few things 1) fresh oysters so fresh and tasty 2) we each had a clam chowder I had red she had white 3) Lobster roll Connecticut style hot and fresh One of the best I have had in long time Ended with pecan pie very fresh and warm Waitress was so cute and friendly with great service I will be Back

This is my first time sampling Jack's Surf & Turf's takeout, a convenient dining experience. It is a culinary delight to eat the ample-sized lobster roll and mac' n cheese with big chunks of lobster. It is an excellent start to learning about Jack's Surf & Turf, and I will gladly look to dine at their Montclair location in the future.

William B.

An incredible find in Montclair, NJ. This NY born guy now living in Virginia was pleasantly surprised by the Connectict and Maine style lobster rolls here. Great wine selection too. Greg the host makes you feel like family!

And, considering the quality, the value is pretty decent as well. A few recommendations. Prime rib, available only on Monday is outstanding. NY Strips and Rib Eye, are always a solid choice. The Steak Sandwich is absolutely incredible, trust me. Plus, their Pork Chop is amazing when its available. My only negative is that the dress code has become lax over time. I'm not a fancy guy. But for the first several years there was an upscale vibe and guests dressed appropriately which made the experience feel premium. Now it isn't all that uncommon to see guests wearing worn out tee shirts, sweat shirts, flip flops, cutoffs, etc. Nothing crazy, but a collard shirt and no flip flop code would be a fair. With all that said, I love this place and I think you will as well. Give it a try.

First off, our server Larry was phenomenal. Genuine, funny, and gave us thoughtful recommendations…read more My partner and I came in for a 7pm reservation to sit at the bar area - one vegetarian, one vegan. Larry was very accommodating, and helped compose a vegan dish from the setup of another dish. He was considerate to recommend something that would feel "substantial" - something that I really appreciated. It's already a bit inconvenient to come up with a dish on the spot, but to go the extra mile by caring that it would be satisfying as a main dish was really very kind. And it turned out fantastic. This restaurant has so much going for it in the quality of its ingredients and dish compositions. I would encourage the chef to consider how the can apply their creativity to a dedicated vegan dish as well. There's a big world to explore in creating modern, high end, plant-based dishes and I think this restaurant would hit it out of the park ! :)

We opted for the cucumber salad and pate which were both very good. We then split the chicken as it five pieces and comes with shishitos, biscuits and coleslaw long with several sauces. The chicken was nice and crispy with plenty of flavor, and I found the biscuits to be quite good. For the price of $50 this is an amazing value. Service was excellent and very engaging.

Lawd have mercy on my ears! The food was decent quality and largely portioned, but it was largely the same old Italian-American red sauce staples made by Spanish-speaking staff that you'd find at many "Italian" restaurants in NJ. - LK Caesar Salad: Eh. Limp lettuce, storebought dressing. No anchovies so not authentic, but I didn't expect any - Squid Ink Bucatini: Came with an okay amount of scallops and shrimp, and a skimpy portion of jumbo lump crab. Large, though, so I could have the rest for lunch the next day - Malfaldine Pasta: Points for the nice tomato cream sauce, but there wasn't much more to this besides the fun malfadine shape - Hen Of The Wood Mushrooms side: More like hen + shiitake. Lots of garlic flavor, but it was kind of drowning in oil. Service was okay, but like some reviewers have noted, it tended to skew young and green. Which was fine until things got LOUD and crowded--then we were waiting forever just to get extra water. I'd never been to Montclair before this dinner--but I have say I truly hope there's better Italian in this up and coming town.

We had high expectations for your restaurant, given its reputation, and the many times we frequent your establishment. However, unfortunately, several issues arose that significantly impacted our evening. We arrived for our reservation and began at the bar with a drink before moving to our table. (2-glasses of bar wine) We sat at the table and then ordered a second glass of wine, which took approximately 15 minutes to arrive--despite the restaurant appearing relatively quiet after 7 PM with only a four-tables occupied. When we inquired at the bar, we were told there were no glasses available, which should have been addressed proactively. Additionally, when reviewing the menu, we did not see a ribeye listed on the menu. We asked the server if there was one available. Our server explained that a ribeye was available for $85. We proceeded to order it (along with a salad, as no other green vegetable options like spinach was available). However, the server later clarified that the $85 price referred to a different steak, and the ribeye we received was priced at $199. This was at the time we received the final bill. This misunderstanding was not clearly communicated upfront, leading to confusion and total disappointment! To make matters worse, when the steak arrived, it appeared totally undercooked (essentially raw in the center), and by the time we addressed it and attempted to proceed, our accompanying mashed potatoes had gone cold. The meat never tastes correct when recooked after bring sliced!!!!!Overall, we felt the service and communication was unacceptable, leaving us confused and terribly dissatisfied. As the owner and chef, is well respected I wrote to him only to find no reply at all. No manager was available on-site to assist us at the time. It is clear the restaurant is failing as there were three tables on Saturday night at 7:00 pm.

This one pound mozzarella stick definitely fulfilled that criteria. It was so gigantic it was almost like getting a workout in just to lift it. The outside was heavily breaded with bread crumbs and the top was sprinkled with parmesan cheese and chopped scallions. Even the dipping cup was supersized to accommodate the diameter of the stick! Typically, I would have posted until after my I finished my oversized food compilation project. However, it's being posted early because The Brookdale is permanently closing its doors.
