Once I figure out how to add photos I'll add them from all the years we've been!!!

- Another seemingly popular spot in LBI--we arrived around 6 PM on the Saturday before Labor Day,…read moreand there was no wait yet; we were seated right away in the shaded outdoor area in the back - The restaurant offers a variety of seating options: outdoors in the front with picnic umbrellas, two separate dining areas indoors, and another outdoor space in the back with shade sails and string lights overhead - Staff were warm and friendly; service was a bit slow--the soup came out quickly, but unfortunately, the mains took almost another half hour to arrive - Food was just okay overall: the award-winning Rhode Island Chowder was hearty, with plenty of chunky ingredients, but the flavor was overwhelmed by the heavy spices; the shrimp tacos had good flavor but were pretty plain overall; the Aloha burgers (which come as a pair) were tasty, with a good combination of sweet, spicy, and salty flavors, but unfortunately, the patties were overcooked; the kids' mac and cheese and cheese quesadilla were also pretty average - Unfortunately, our experience here was also affected by swarming greenhead biting flies; on top of that, we had to fight off fruit flies as well; many of the other outdoor diners eventually asked to be moved indoors, so if you're planning to sit outside, you may want to keep the conditions in mind; the restaurant has battery-powered table-top fans to help deter the pests, but it did little to keep them away

They had Singo Bingo one night, then live music the next. Stayed next door so it was super convenient. Honestly though, I'd come back even if we didn't stay next door.

Just Not That Good I…read morewanted to like Surf City Bistro, but the food is just not that good here. The calamari was especially bad, a nasty, flaky mess that we barely wanted to finish. The drinks were another disappointment, watered down, weak, and basically tasteless. On LBI, where there are so many great places to eat and grab a drink, you really have to bring your A game. Unfortunately, Surf City Bistro just doesn't. Sorry, but there are probably 20 better options in the area before I'd come back here.

5+++++ Star Review for The Lighthouse, Surf City, NJ…read more Absolutely loved LOVED our visit to The Lighthouse in Surf City! Everything was on point from start to finish. We had the wings, fish tacos, and a chicken sandwich -- and each dish was better than the last. The wings were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the fish tacos were fresh and had just the right amount of kick, and the chicken sandwich was juicy and satisfying. The vibe of the place was beachy, welcoming, and laid-back -- just what you want at the Shore. Service was fast and friendly, food came out hot, and everything tasted made with care. Definitely a hidden gem and worth every star. We'll be back for sure!

I've never even seen a gluten-free Philly cheesesteak before -- and it was delicious. They have a separate fryer for the yummy fries. Celiac safe! And delicious for those who aren't GF!

Great breakfast spot on LB Blvd in Surf City…read more Stopped for a late breakfast. About 8 tables inside. Friendly service, order at the counter they bring to the table. Nice selection of gluten free choices on the menu. Tried a Taylor ham, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. A generous portion of Taylor ham, toasted everything bagel. Hard to mess this up... And this was delicious. Just what I was looking for. Parking is tough in this area because you're competing with the beach-going crowd. Be patient, the spaces turn quickly enough.

I really liked the wings. My wife didn't really like the touch of smoky taste, but she's no wing expert. I typically don't like when they have a smoky taste to them, but these wings were fried with a great layer of sauce and just a hint of grill smoke on them. I thought they were Terrific. Definitely gonna try this again server if we're wonderful. The set up was nice a typical style bar use shape with high top seating and standard seating. We really enjoyed it and will be back.

This is for takeout that was picked up…read more Flounder Sandwich - my usual go to is ship bottom shellfish which has been shaving on portion size and sides. Found Boulevard version with great breading/coating that was crisp and fries were nice and crisp. Salmon Sandwich - nice sized portion for the price. Good taste - would think about what kind of sauce you would recommend - like an aioli - was not quite sure what to eat with. Small thing - they could have remembered some ketchup in the bag for the fries. Totally my 2 cents - coming in, would put the clams front and center walking in. Instead, had a bunch of different things for takeout. It's your name sake. Also, the fish in the display was a little sparse. If you're using the online ordering, you have to submit your order to find out how long the wait til pickup is.

And my husband got a Nutella Shake - Dr. Nutella which was outstanding. It was not overly sweet and so it tasted great. Service was great too. Definitely, stop by this place for some good food.
