Buffalo chicken sandwich
Megan B.

I've been coming to Shore Fresh for over 10 years. Love the fish tacos and house salad. Service is always great and the staff is always friendly. Great location in Pt Pleasant. Plus BYOB too!

Menu and how detailed it is

Best lobster bisque I've ever had! Everything was so good and fresh! The guy behind the counter(don't know his name young guy in his 20s) was very nice, was telling us which seafood product had just arrived! Everything was brilliant as a guy from Chicago and tasting fresh seafood from the east coast for the first time! ! I give it a 1000000/10 Claire was lovely she was very attentive with us and made us feel welcomed!!! I Will definitely be back to try that lobster roll! Thank you guys! And thank you Claire.C! You were awesome!

Stuffed Flounder (24.99)

We got seated immediately outside. Our waitress was nice but a little slow. The food is so fresh and yummy. The portions are good with everything except, I wish the tuna bites came with more, but we just ordered 2. But overall I have a good experience at this place.

Warming up with some fresh seafood. Yum!

When visiting Point Pleasant Beach on the Jersey Shore, it is imperative that you stop by one the many many many seafood restaurants available; but if you're going to enjoy some top quality seafood and reasonable prices, the you need to stop by Shore Fresh Seafood. First of all, it's important to point out that they were still open in the middle of winter, which alone is a testament to itself. Especially in a town where 90% of the restaurants and businesses are closed for the season. The second important piece of information is that whoever the chef is at This restaurant, knows how to cook scallops...PERIOD. It was a beautiful sunny day, but cold as ice and windy, so we decided to grab an early lunch to warm up. They offer a $20 lunch special which gives you your choice of sandwich with fries and a soup/salad. Wow, wow wow... I've had a lot of scallops in my life, and I've been pretty critical on how they're prepared; and they just know how to do it right. Today's lunch Choices Include: - Fried Scallops Sandwich - Shrimp Chowder - Clams on the Half shell

Late night dinner after big bday celebration!…read more Our server was Katie-friendly, attentive and fast! Great smile too! I ordered the crab cake sandwich; my husband ordered the fried flounder sandwich. Both came with housemade fries. Fries were piled high; the flounder was so big we think it may have been a whole fish! The crab cake was fluffy backfin (VERY light on the "filler"-yay!) with a beautiful crust. I still had on my tiara and got lots of "Happy Birthday!" Wishes from staff as they passed by. We were too full for dessert, so we passed. But our server surprised me with a slice of homemade key lime pie complete with candle and singing colleagues! We'll be back soon for more tasty nibbles and treats!

If you find yourself at the shore and only have time for one restaurant, this is the ONE! Others may have incorporated the concept of trawler-to-table, where restaurant-owned vessels harvest the daily menu specials, but AOF has perfected it. They have an adjoining fish market where you can review the catch and board of fare, and see what appeals to you. I was very impressed with the freshness, variety, and quality (including many deep water cold Atlantic species including cod, ling, monkfish, plus mussels, oysters, etc.) Service was exemplary, execution was flawless, and taste was sublime. Setting is natural, old school, lots of local character and family friendly. Chowder and bisques 5 star Salads 5 star Bread 5 star Entrees 5 star Desserts 5 star Everything 5 star Recommend you come early for dinner or late for lunch because everyone knows the quality here and 2-3 hour wait during peak season is not uncommon (oh yeah, and should you have to, the wait is more than worth it) Mahalo for reading my review.

We had a lobster roll, New England clam chowder, Manhattan clam chowder, swordfish bites, and brussels sprouts, with bacon and Parmesan, and two unsweetened iced teas. Everything was wonderful. We highly recommend the swordfish bites, they were literally fantastic. You can sit inside or outside, we opted for outside because they had shady little nooks where you could sit that had fans and it was so cool and comfortable. I could've sat there for hours. This is a BYOB. We had also visited the other point lobster house that is in the walkable town a few blocks away and that is a bar so it's not a BYOB. Just something to keep in mind the spot that's by the water you need to bring your own wine.

Of course the parking was full but we looped around a couple times and were able to find something close. What we ordered: - Caesar Salad - Crab Rangoon Mozzarella Sticks - Tuna Nachos (wonton chips, sesame seed tuna, seaweed salad, sesame teriyaki, avocado aioli) - New England Clam Chowder - Cold Lobster Roll platter with fries, coleslaw, and pickle The service was fine, a couple of items forgotten but it was a lot of people and they had no issue going back and checking for us. Food was ok, exactly what I thought it would be at a seafood place by the shore. The best thing was the tuna nachos in my opinion. I would return if I'm ever in the area.

Used to come here with my family each visit to Pt Pleasant, ~20 years ago! I can say it has stayed great and was happy with the food and service overall. We each tried drinks from their menu (coconut mojito and the hibiscus refresh) and both were fantastic and came out promptly. Ordered the coconut shrimp appetizer and they were good, not overly flavorful but decent and fresh. Salads were great. For entrees I had the Truffle Scallops and fettuccine dish, it was amazing. Definitely will be back for that. My dinner companion had one of their specials, a fra di avo lo mixed seafood dish over spaghetti. Also delicious! Our favorite thing here was the scallops by far, don't miss out! The waitstaff and busmen do a fantastic job here. Very attentive and friendly :) Can't wait to come back, thank you Shrimp Box!

Food average , portions , not counting Pasta, average. 4 meals one drink 170 dollars, left 200 cash. Service waiter was average, we had a reservation but still had to wait 35 minutes we were seated at a table in the back with no view. So for the price, the service , the ambiance, with a reservation and waiting 35 minutes, My opnion it is more of a tourist trap, a step up from Boardwalk food, but you can find better, cheaper and nicer elsewhere Its your money spend it wisely, For me I will not be returning.

Our daughter and son-in-law rented a house in Point Pleasant Beach for a few weeks and we stopped…read morein for a couple days to visit them and the grandkids. We went out to eat twice while there, once for dinner and once for lunch. I will review both places using this as my intro to the reviews. For dinner, we ate at Jack Baker's Wharfside, which I also see listed as The Wharfside Seafood & Patio Bar. Frankly surprised it has very average ratings, as I would not say that was our experience on Tuesday night, August 4, 2026. It was reasonably busy and likely explains the somewhat slow service. We were 4 adults and a toddler. We had a few cocktails; all were reasonably good and fairly priced. There were also a few glasses of wine with the meals from a decent, but not extensive list. Everyone had seafood, including the toddler, which included the spicy garlic shrimp appetizer that was a crowd pleaser, and main courses that consisted of snow crab, mussels, shrimp, scallops, and lobster. i was the only one to have the lobster bisque, which I thought exceptional, as it had a creamy consistency and loaded with lobster chunks. There were no complaints though about any of the dishes and we were all happy customers. The prices were reasonable considering the fare and the location, especially as the patio featured a live band, We dined on the patio, but far away from the band, so the music level was pleasant, having seen some reviews suggesting it can be a bit much. It would be hard to complain though about the scenery, as the patio faces a calm channel that leads out to sea. All in all it was very a successful evening. I felt this rated a solid 4, understanding some would rate it a 5, but difficult to understand why anyone would place it lower than a 3.

As usual, the restaurant was very busy--we waited about two hours for a table, and getting drinks at the bar took some patience. Once seated, however, our waitress was excellent: friendly, attentive, and one of the reasons we enjoy coming here. The only negative part of the evening occurred after dinner. My friend and I walked down to the dock to smoke cigars. We passed a security staff member while holding our cigars, and he allowed us through without hesitation and which we normally do when we go to the Wharfside. About 15 minutes later, another security staff member approached and told us smoking wasn't allowed there. I had no issue leaving, but I was disappointed by how she handled the situation. The conversation quickly became confrontational as we were walking off the dock, and I felt I was spoken to disrespectfully [she called me a dick for no reason. To make matters worse, the first security staff member denied allowing us onto the dock, even though he clearly knew why we were going there to smoke [guessing he lied because she was the manager and didn't want get reprimanded by her as she seemed to be very angry [& nasty]. We've always enjoyed dining here, and have to admit this experience will probably stop us from returning. I hope management reads this and provides clearer communication on the smoking policy and ensures all security staff handle these situations professionally and consistently!
