My fiancé and I are big stans of the Delaware Ave Oyster House so we figured it was time to give Terrace Tavern a try on a Friday afternoon for lunch. The vibe is super chill and relaxed and everyone was very friendly to us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. They also have a great outdoor backyard area! I would have loved to sit out there if it wasn't 100 degrees the day we went! We will certainly be back for that alone. The menu is super enticing. We literally wanted to order one of everything but finally settled on the tuna poke and the broiled seafood platter with the chowder fries. The tuna was fresh and flavorful and a very generous portion. The broiled seafood platter was the star of the show for us. I loved getting to sample a little bit of everything. The crab cake and the scallops were the standouts for me. I could have eaten a platter of those alone. And don't even get me started on the chowder fries. Fresh hot fries with a mound of clam chowder on top with pieces of bacon. Literally what's not to like? The chowder here is one of my favorites. It's made with pork roll and long hots - a true Jersey chowder and a more unique take on the traditional. Terrace Tavern also has a fantastic cocktail menu. There's a huge variety and truly something for everyone. The Pink Flamingo was excellent - fresh watermelon juice, basil, st Germaine, and Prosecco. It was the perfect summer drink on a hot day. We will definitely be returning to try some more of the menu! read more

This place is so good. The food is always awesome. The best part is the staff. They are some of the friendliest and attentive on the island. The outside patio is a great space. read more

The outside area is very cute and I have sat out there a couple of times during non peak hours. They don't take reservations on weekends so wait times can be upwards of 2 hours depending on when you arrive. Food wise we are always happy with what we get. I also love the fact that they always have a drink special where proceeds go to charity. read more

Before I start on the food I do want to say that the service was great here. Our waitress was attentive and the manager was super sweet. However, I was served raw chicken not once, but twice. I sent back my chicken sandwich originally because it was raw, and then received another piece of raw chicken (pictured is the second sandwich). My friend also was served raw chicken in her salad. Also I would like to note that two of the others in our party ordered medium well burgers, and they were in fact rare. The staff is great but the food was a let down read more

A little spot in LBI that quenched thirst and hunger. Drink was a bit weak. Street corn had too much lime if you like it.. the burger was ok. Fries weren't cooked well enough and needed a reorder. The crab cake was good. We had Ala carte and a sandwich. It was a nice visit to try a new spot. Ok vibe..ok food. read more

Underwhelming take out. Tuna poke was a joke! Foil ball with next to no tuna. Tons of chips though. Tavern Burger was okay. Salad was decent. Calamari was soggy but edible. read more

Terrace Tavern - Sad Tuna Poke - Bars Near Me - Beach Haven, New Jersey

Terrance Tavern is the perfect spot for a delicious and fresh fish dinner. They have some pretty good drink specials as well. My boyfriend and I got the steamers and calamari to start and what a rookie mistake. By the time we were done with the appetizers we were so full! Just made it more to take home and enjoy the next day. My boyfriend got the tuna steak that came in broccolini and we upgraded to chowder fries. Delicious, fresh, what more can you want? I went with a white fish sandwich served on a Hawaiian roll. So so soo good! Went well with the Tatar sauce and the chowder fries were absolutely delicious. I ended up taking most of it to go and it was just as delicious the next day. The fish was fried to perfection and I loved the pickles it was served with. Gave it the perfect fresh crunch. The servers were great, they also have a small bar area and an outdoor patio! Definitely check this place out when in LBI. read more

Very rude hostess. We went in on Tuesday. Walked in bar area and sat at an empty table. People next to us said thats what they did and a waitress would come over. When they pointed out the hostess we went over to ask if it was ok if we stayed there and she basically yelled at us and said no. So we left. We wont be back. UPDATE - Owner contacted us immediately. WOW. Was so nice. Once we go back we can give a better review of food etc. 2nd update - went back LOVED food delish Our waitress Amanda was a doll! We are so happy! read more

Food was so so good! I absolutely loved the seafood, tasted really fresh and cooked well! The steam pot was $70 on a Friday night. We sat outside and listened to the live band playing. The food didn't take long at all, and our server was decent. She was a little bland and unexciting but I understand it was hot. Overall nice place! read more

Terrace Tavern - The steam pot - Bars Near Me - Beach Haven, New Jersey

My caveat off the bat -- we weren't looking for a bar experience, so that's my bad. We had fried calamari, which was excellent. The breading was great, calamari was fresh, and the teriyaki sauce was tasty and unique. Peel and eat shrimp was large and fresh. Burger was large and delicious. Scallops as part of a seafood platter were prepared excellently. I had mussels. The mussels were tender, but had more sand than is typical. The garlic butter sauce was strangely bland. I had a special mixed drink that was just okay. They only had four beers on tap, which was disappointing for our party. The service was kind and attentive. The atmosphere is typical for a nice beach bar. I recommend visiting for drinks and bar food. read more

We love terrace and it's a must try when in LBI but unfortunately during our second time there in one week during our vacay, we had a not so great experience with a hostess in the backyard who was quite short with us after we asked the wait time, as well as a poor experience at the bar when a group of four adults openly swiped our bar seats as we were about to sit down :( With that said, the atmosphere here is unbeatable the rest of the time, and their mozzerella sticks and cocktails are great! read more

This place can definitely improve in caring for customers and not just be tip hungry. I understand there staff of servers mainly consist of highschool kids but the owner needs to pay them better, rather than relying on other's money. read more

We came after a long day venturing around the island. We sat outside and listened to live music and had great eats. I got the French onion burger and it was really good! We also had the friend calamari and the Caesar salad which had anchovies on it, would definitely recommend that as well. Great spot and Delaware oyster is right next door if you want to stop by before or after! French onion burger Fried calamari Caesar salad read more

Terrace Tavern - Outdoor area - Bars Near Me - Beach Haven, New Jersey

I highly recommend the outdoor dining at Terrace Tavern. It's very inviting and has such a friendly atmosphere. The service was great and the food was delicious. I highly recommend their HH where they offer a bar menu with items for $5. The portions are fulfilling and worth sharing if you don't want a larger meal. It is dog friendly, so if you're not a fan of dining with LARGE, medium, and/or small dogs that may occasionally bark, you can choose the option to sit inside. The outdoor music is a bonus with a live acoustic player playing familiar tunes. read more

Having a great LBI day kayaking and then afternoon delight at Terrace Tavern. Cool vibes, a bucket of Dungeness crabs, Prosecco, and great service from Jenna 5 stars Jenna, thanks. Will be back read more

Nice restaurant with good outdoor seating. The food was very good! We got the crab dip with kale. It was extremely good and did not taste like kale. It came with chips and they were great. Also got the Mexican street corn which was extremely good. Highly recommend it if you love street corn. For our meals we both got the snow crab legs. They were great as expected. Came with a side of butter. Food was great. Drinks were good. Service was slow. It took a while for our food to come out. Worth the wait though!! Will definitely come back. read more

Wish I could give more because the food was very good . Also the service as well as the whole staff was awesome. I ordered the Cuban sandwich in the pic, and I swear my Panties were wet. My father got the tile fish which I diddnt know was a real thing and it was good as well. Now for the meat and potatoes, crab cakes, they we're a 7 out of 10 .. really good . Unfortunately they forgot my wife's food and it was fucking hot as balls in here !!! Also I ordered a jungle juice and my kids could've drank it, there was no booze in it. 16$ down the tubes.. I would yes come back again based on the food which was delish .. the ambiance was cool to. Vibes were of a smaller intimate cool not pussyish Applebees . Try them out !! read more

Elote was salty and had an odd seasoning. Never tasted this kind of elote before. Def not authentic. Loaded fries with clam chowder was spicy. Soggy. And not anything what we expected. Steak bites weren't bad. Unfortunately we won't be back. read more

Great family place with live music. Lots of outdoor seating. Large menu with a variety of food.

Have been coming here since the early 90s on and off and haven't visited in 3-5 years. Miss how it used to be and the food options offered previously. My Crabcake was kind of small and unimpressive, came out lukewarm and on a huge bun with .75" - 1" of bread overhanging the cake and a few shreds of lettuce. Bread to crabcake ratio really off with this one. Cake itself was kind of meh. Not much lump crab to it. Not under seasoned, but the seasoning wasn't my favorite either. My sweet potato fries were a complete soggy/floppy mess and were also lukewarm. My wife's food was fine but nothing stood out as being great. Her fries were at least properly cooked though. Our service was lacking. We were seated near the kitchen and I saw our server just standing around through the kitchen door multiple times, sometimes on her phone, while everyone else was in and out of there and checking on tables. This was at times when we could have used some service at the table. Our server also wasn't really too friendly. read more

The food (burger) was done correctly. The waiter was cordial and informative. A local guy willing to share local knowledge of the area. I know the guy playing guitar. Chris is always a pleasure to listen to. read more

My 5 star rating is for the drinks and Brittney the bartender. First we were blown away by her "drink of the day" a MaiTai. Classically made but with a special pineapple foam was beautiful and delicious. Then we asked her to create any Tiki drink she thought we'd enjoy and she created an amazing Blue Hawaiian. Such a great place with great people. read more

Definitely worth a trip, especially in their outdoor back tent seating! We got the pretzel, Mexican street corn, lobster BLT and the mahi mahi wrap. The entire meal was a hit!

I also can appreciate that the menu is fully online so you have to view it on your phone. A lot more germ friendly that's for sure! read more

We were staying around the corner from this spot during a recent trip to LBI. Boy are we glad we gave this place a try. We initially had an issue with online ordering and the staff helped sort that out immediately. They were incredibly pleasant and helpful. Food was hot, fresh, and ready for pickup early, which was amazing. The place has a great vibe and is clearly a popular local hangout. Now...the food: we each ordered "The Burger" and it was nothing short of delicious. It was cooked perfectly and the pimento cheese was tremendous. Fries were crispy and cooked well. Finally, the calamari was fresh and flavorful with an AMAZING sauce that brought some heat and flavor. Overall, highly-recommended! We will be back here on future trips! read more

Went to this place because they had a great happy hour from 12 to 3 we were seated outside and there was plenty of room and social distancing from each table. With only one server outside serving about 10 tables it took a while to get our rounds of drinks and food but our server was amazing. He served us with the bartenders concoction of the day we had the margaritas on tap and they were so strong highly recommend. The chicken tenders are so big and so juicy I will be back for them. This is all around a great place to visit especially for happy hour read more
