Sunset Seafood of Seaside is a retail fish market and restaurant located on the edge of Seaside,…read moreOrtley and near the bridge to Tom's River. You can reach it by car or boat. There's a jet ski rental on the premises and a large enough parking lot. Prices are decent here for the cooked food. The retail fish market prices seemed a bit high to me. I ordered lunch takeout and things felt a little disjointed. I had to call a few times to get through to a person to place the order. Then upon pickup, I had to wander around inside to find someone who suggested that maybe I ordered from another location since they hadn't received any takeout orders. Then another guy told the girl that they did indeed receive a couple orders... And thankfully he had mine. There were only a few employees here. The traditional lobster roll was excellent. Good portion, very tasty and I loved the seasoned fries. The fish and chips treated a bit meh. The fish itself had a funny taste to it. My son liked his cheeseburger and I had the fried clam strips. It was about expected. The menu says they are fried littleneck clams, but they are indeed little strips. They're alright. It's hard to taste the clam either things as they're so small. Anyway, if you want a full, buttery lobster roll at a his price, I highly recommend it here. And, no credit card fee!

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!

I did relive my memeries But overall the food is good And the service is excellent Nicolette our waitress was such a lovely wonderful young lady who made our dining experience really delightful and we will definitely return. Thank you so much to our waitress.i always have emphasized how important it is to have. Good front house staff and this place has is. Our waitress made us felt so welcomed and very attentive.

The hot lobster roll wasn't actually hot...just butter on the bun, and the lobster meat was dry and chewy. We were pretty disappointed given the rave reviews. On the positive side, the location can't be beat...right next to Kohr's, with a nice dog-friendly atmosphere! The staff were friendly and welcoming, which we really appreciated. We'd be willing to give it another try in the future in hopes of a better outcome, but sadly this visit missed the mark.

I ordered the New England clam chowder soup, and it was loaded with meat and vegetables - very tasty! I also shared a lobster roll with my brother. They don't skimp on the lobster and it's a decent sized sandwich. The fries were OK. My wife and daughter ordered the chicken tenders and they were unlike any thing I've had in a restaurant before. The breading, which easily came off of the chicken, did not suit my taste but my other family members seem to like it. The honey, mustard dipping sauce that they had was probably the best honey mustard sauce I've ever eaten in my life. It wasn't too sweet and had the perfect taste. Almost everything I ate that night. I dipped in the sauce (I wish you could bottle it to take home)! Our waitress was phenomenal and the service was top-notch! Overall, the seafood was much better than the chicken. We would definitely come again!

Our bartender was excellent and after hearing I was vegetarian, she recommended the eggplant sandwich. The eggplant is thin and perfectly crisp. I low key wish this was an eggplant parm or dressed with some type of sauce, but it's delicious on its own. Last night we went Klee's and the food was good but the service was exceptional. Our waitress was extremely attentive. I got the eggplant sandwich with fries which I almost forgot about (I don't know how). Their fries are crisp and incredible. My mom got the meatloaf and instead of mashed potatoes got fries. Instead of broccoli, she got green beans. The portions were huge and she was very happy with the substitutions. We also got dessert which we regret not sharing because their portions were huge. She got the chocolate peanut butter pie and I got the apple crisp. The apple crisp was stacked. Both were good! Next time we will definitely split dessert because we were stuffed. I highly recommend checking this spot out. Oh if you are in the mood for lighter food, their nutty pear salad is so refreshing and yummy! I will definitely be back!

Started with chips and salsa - made on-site and they also brought us three sauces, also made on-site - a jalapeño sauce, a red sauce and a tomatillo sauce. 100% recommend-all were delicious. We decided to split our meals and ordered a chicken burrito and the shrimp quesadillas. The burrito was very tasty, with what seemed like freshly made refried beans and delicious chicken. A little too much rice for me, I would have preferred less rice and maybe some grilled onions and peppers. The shrimp quesadillas were NOT what we expected. The shell seemed almost flash fried and in addition to the shrimp it had lettuce and melted manchego cheese. It was really, REALLY good. Service was great and we weren't rushed. There were four other tables filled while we were there and three of them were speaking Spanish which made me feel like we chose the right place. Seriously, I felt like the food here was made someone who'd been cooking like this for decades. A very cool little restaurant that I cannot recommend enough! Great food, great service, and a great location. (Sorry, forgot to take pics here)

They needed to be cooked 1st until soft and nicely roasted. Then the toppings can go on and it just needs a few minutes to melt the cheese. (I make these myself so I know).
