The staff is so friendly and our server Luke was great. My hubby and I usually go for our anniversary each year, but since it was my birthday we figured why not?

4 of us went there for dinner . Horrible experience! 2 of us just as we finished dinner started to…read morefeel nauseous, sweating and one of the 2 threw up at the table ( food poisoning). We had to ask the waitress for a towel with ice in it to place on the neck and head to help with the nauseous and sweating . At no time did anyone else come to see or assist us if we needed anything or medical assistance. After we paid and got out of there as quick as we can , I reached out to the mgr and explained what happened. I was told that the owner didn't believe us . What a terrible response from a business owner. How can something like this happen to 2 people at the same time at the same table . Needless to say I will never go there again !!! They offered a $50 gift card ( really ) ‍

Stopped by Dock & Claw Clam Bar while in Beach Haven and had a really enjoyable meal. We started…read morewith some local oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want when you're spending time down the shore. Always nice to see a place featuring local oysters, and they were a great start to the meal. For my main, I went with the tuna bowl and really enjoyed it. The tuna was fresh, the ingredients worked well together, and the whole bowl was flavorful without being overly complicated. Everything tasted fresh and the portion was just right. Definitely something I would order again. As far as the atmosphere goes, keep your expectations simple. This isn't a fancy waterfront seafood restaurant or a place you're necessarily coming to for the décor. It's casual and pretty no-frills, but honestly, that's perfectly fine when the food delivers. The service was also very good--friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. Overall, Dock & Claw is a solid Beach Haven spot if you're looking for fresh seafood, good service, and a relaxed meal without all the fuss. The local oysters and tuna bowl were both winners for me. I'd definitely come back the next time we're in the area.

I had the fried calamari appetizer, which was very fresh with a well - seasoned and tasty batter. For my meal, I had the fish & chips, which were also fresh, hand battered, and excellent. My only complaint is I wish they had a larger ramekin for the tartar sauce.

The steak wasn't rare as ordered but delicious Our desserts were free. The boy got a brownie sundae ànd we shared their famous cornbread cake and ice cream. Service was impeccable.

Panzone's in Beach Haven was an utter miss for me. No liquor license, they were out of sangria, and…read moreunfortunately the food did absolutely nothing to make up for it. Everything we had was mediocre and disappointing, especially considering the price tag. At these prices, I expect a much better overall experience, better food, and for basic menu items to actually be available. Steep prices for average food and a disappointing experience all around. There are simply too many better options in the Beach Haven area for me to come back here.

We got maybe 2 pieces of actual calamari that was just dried. We got the scallop dish and it was still raw. We had to put it into the microwave!! The burger was tasteless and fries were horrible. Frozen fries are better than this. Overall, I do not recommend this place. It's too expensive for really horrible food.

This was a very last-minute decision. We just popped in, hoping to get a table for three…read more Surprisingly they got us in within five minutes and while waiting the hostess was very nice and explaining to us the daily specials. There is an indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is very nice and well spaced out. We sat outdoor, but I could see indoor. The layout looked very nice and pleasant older style decor. The server was very knowledgeable, friendly, and just the right amount of attention not to bother us, but not to leave us at any moment waiting It is a BYOB which we didn't know. They do have some wine you can buy by the bottle we bought a bottle. It was OK. The food overall we found to be very good every step of the way the bread that they gave us to first starter was good then the appetizers. My daughter had the Barada salad, which was very good. I had tuna bites. They were excellent. For our main course, I had Cory's combo which is a seafood combo of flounder, scallops, crabcake, and shrimp. All of these I found to be very good. The crabcake in particular was full of lump crab, and not too much of the filler. It was very well done. My daughter had the black and prime rib with baked potato. It was excellent perfectly cooked nice and tender flavorful. My wife had the fillet which she frequently orders when we go out to dinner, this one did not disappoint the texture the way it was cooked the flavoring. The sides were all excellent. We were very happy with this last minute decision and hope you find it to be the same! Good luck. I very rarely give five stars, but had a hard time finding a reason not to. Good job.

We also got a huge 2 lb. steamed lobster ($60 for 2 pounds) that was messy to crack open even with it cut open. Hubbie loved the lobster but wifey was over it quickly with all the effort involved. Service was friendly but inconsistent. We had to ask for the sides that arrived late with our lobster meal. Water refills had to be asked for twice. Ambience was alright, nothing special. They do have a big aquarium with large fish which scared our toddler. Overall, an alright experience that turned out to be more functional eating than a LBI experience to remember.
