There is a to go area, bathroom, and then indoor seating area. They have merchandise behind the register. Started with the tuna nachos and crab rangoon mozzarella sticks. Tuna was good quality and had a good coating of sesame seeds. My perfect bite was tuna, orange sauce, seaweed, tomato, & onion. The chips were perfectly crispy. The crab rangoon was surprisingly good. This appetizer is what made me pick this place. Such a good combination. Didn't need the marinera sauce. Next up soups. Lobster bisque was ok. I guess I was expecting it to be a little more rich. But it was good, it tasted exactly like lobster and I got good chunks in the soup too. Now the shrimp and corn chowder was super flavorful. Favorite dish of the meal. For mains, cold lobster roll and two tails w butter and side salad. Side salad was well dressed and I appreciate the ribbons of Parmesan. The lobster was mostly cooked right. There was one that was a bit chewy. Added salt and butter but felt like something was missing still. I couldn't find a good combo of toppings to go with the lobster. The cold lobster roll was alright. The potato bread added a good sweet flavor that complimented the lobster. Overall a decent meal.

    We dined here on Father's Day and had a great experience! We were quoted a 40-minute wait but were…read moreseated in only 20, so I'd recommend waiting it out if the wait seems long. There's also a huge free parking lot right outside. Our waitress, Liz, was kind, attentive, and clearly very experienced. The restaurant is BYOB, though they do sell a few bottles for around $35. Just note that wine options are limited--they only had Chardonnay as their white wine option. The complimentary tuna salad was so good that we bought a container from the market to take home. We each had a cup of clam chowder, shared the miso scallop sushi, and ordered the sesame-crusted bluefin tuna special. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The highlight for me was the key lime pie--one of the best I've ever had. We loved everything and can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

So great start. The trouble started with the main course- Cod fish and chips. What I got was what looked like a plate of greasy over cooked shoe string fries. Where's the cod? Surprise, the cod is on the right side of the plate and looked sadder than the fries. The 4 pieces of cod were slightly smaller than my average skinny man fingers. In search of more cod I lifted fries thinking maybe it was buried in the potato avalanche. Alas the cod I saw was all I got. But that's not all. The cod had the consistency of poorly cooked calamari. Thank goodness for Kohrs. Your seafood $$ are better spent at better establishments.

    My mom and I took a drive down to Point Pleasant beach to kick off Memorial Day weekend and stopped…read moreat The Shrimp Box for lunch, which is definitely a must visit stop for seafood lovers. Since it was lunch time we both got the sunset dinner specials which are served from 12:00 - 5:00 pm. Both of our meals came to start with a generous salad (you can also get a bowl of chowder if you aren't interested in salad), soft drink of choice, and dessert. (I got carrot cake and my mom got chocolate cake) The food was extremely fresh and came out very quick. The restaurant itself was also clean and we had a beautiful view of the water with the docked boats. Food - Broiled Jumbo Shrimp - These juicy broiled shrimp were smothered in the most luscious butter sauce. The shrimp itself were very tender and the seasoned butter sauce gave the shrimp an amazing flavor. My meal came with a baked potato that I added some butter too and a side of mixed veggies which were also seasoned nicely. - Coconut Shrimp - These were the most perfect coconut shrimp. Each of the jumbo shrimp were battered in a generous amount of coconut flakes and fried to perfection. These shrimps were crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. The shrimp paired nicely with the sweet chili sauce on the side. The dish was also served with French fries which were nice and salty.

    I really debated on whether this was a 3, a 2 or even a 3 1/2 star (please add half stars). But,…read moreeither way it will not be repeated for us. It was just not up to par. The atmosphere is nice, the view of lovely boats, etc. The drinks were I would say a step below average, we didn't complain just drank them and did not order seconds (were never asked anyway). I don't think the bar has experienced bartenders so there was no point in asking for a remake on any cocktails. Onto the food and the service: the food was just passable, it was more of what you would get in a diner. This was not all freshly made seafood, this was the type of seafood such as stuffed shrimp that you buy premade in restaurant depot and heat up and they are all perfectly uniform and skimpy. The jumbo shrimp were smaller than what you would serve for cocktail shrimp, and they were all precisely the same. Two people had this at the table. There were seven of us. The lobster tails seemed to be freshly made, chicken seemed to be a reheated premade item like the shrimp and the 2 different salmon orders both seemed likely to be made there. The oysters Rockefeller was so cheesy and very little spinach. I had never had it like that at all and they were too large a size oyster for that particular dish which I order whenever I see it on the menu. This place was recommended as a good seafood house. It's not. Is it edible? Yes. Did we eat everything? Yes, we did. Will we go back? No, thank you. The service person was very nice (sweet), but really should not have been working. She had a bad leg and a really bad hobbling limp and she had laryngitis which made it hard for the table to hear anything she said. It wasn't that she was a bad person it just made it less comfortable of an experience for us. And due to her leg, most likely hurting her we were not asked about a second round of drinks and our waters were not refilled until we asked so the service was OK. Possibly they need more help and they need to be able to pay somebody to stay home when they're not up to working. I blame the restaurant for that, not the waitress. Restaurants see somebody coming in that kind of condition - they should send them home with pay if they value the employee. It does not make for a good experience for either the employee or the customer. That said I have taken pictures of the food and the lovely atmosphere. I do believe that the majority of the food is just reheated from restaurant Depot, which is not necessarily a bad thing but when you pay $35 for stuffed shrimp and you get something that came out of a frozen box it's not exactly a vote for quality. I don't mind the price, I did mind the lower quality and precisely uniform machine made style (also the lack of any crab in the crab stuffing). Chowders were OK, not much of a clam flavor, but the soup was good. The steamers were good. Salads were fine. Dessert was good, actually very good. Everyone had dessert and all the varieties were good.

The fried calamari were tender, crisp outside and nice, petite bundles of joy. Organic blackberry margaritas were nice! Generous fried flounder sandwich with house cut fries seasoned with old bay.

    What a great dinner…read more.. We decided to drive up to Point Pleasant for our last dinner of the long weekend and point Lobster Bar & Grill was the choice. When we arrived at about 5:40pm the place was packed so it took a few minutes for us to get seated, but no biggie because we didn't make a reservation (if you're here in the beach season, it's a MUST). We got seated in the bar area, but it was right by the window so it was a fantastic seat. Only down side was there was a guy playing music right next to us, but he wasn't super loud so it was fine. Our server, Matthew, was over fairly quickly to take our drink orders. Wifey ordered a Ruby Spritz and I had the French Pear. Both were delicious. For our appetizers my wife started with baked clams and I ordered the Drunk and Angry clams (steamers with lager and cherry peppers) and like the drinks, both were excellent. I was really happy with mine as the level of spiciness was perfect. We also ordered two white sangrias with dinner. Server suggested getting a pitcher if we were going to have more to a one, but we had a bit of a drive and didn't want to chance it. Great job on his part. My wife ordered the Crab Stuffed Flounder - very rich and tasty, but two plates of stuffed food was a little too much. I ordered the Pistachio Crusted Halibut special with jasmine rice, bok choy, and a lemon sauce. WOW it was great. The halibut was ever so slightly overcooked, maybe 60 seconds, but the FLAVOR was amazing. I love bok choy so this dish was a home run. We were too full for dessert, so that was it. We really loved this place and our server, Matthew, was great - friendly and engaging. I would 100% return and try another entree here.

We ordered our drinks and apps and had a wonderfully pleasant waitress, Delores. It was busy the day before Father's Day but the staff was on point with their service and demeanor. The apps: old bay fries, crispy and delicious. Steamers, sweet and succulent. Garlic shrimp, spiced just right with the crunchy shrimp. New England clam chowder, loaded with clam & potato in a creamy base. Dinner: Scallops & linguine in a truffle cream sauce, earthy and delicious. Shrimp& grits with andouille sausage, tasty and spicy. Both hot Lobster roll w butter and cold w/ bruschetta, tender juicy and plentiful. The addition of the tents outside is a great addition. Umbrellas just do not offer enough shade for the whole table. We enjoy our meals and will be back again.

If you are coming later in the season, I would try to reserve. First up -- some nice slices of warm crusty Italian bread and butter. I ordered a cocktail special - the Kelle Belle (or similar) which reminded me of a Pimm's cup. La Portena had her usual Riesling -- no complaints. Lobster bisque was one of the hits, the typical rich broth, with the not so typical actual lobster meat - small bits to be sure, but so often there is no lobster at all. We also shared a lobster roll as a starter - it was good but I would have preferred larger chunks of meat - the roll was accompanied by some tasty tortilla chips. Next up, a complimentary salad - this was fine. I ordered soft shell crabs - they were perfectly fried meaty specimens but the french fries and cole slaw seemed like afterthoughts- the plating was haphazard. La Portena's flounder stuffed with crabmeat was a better plate overall. Two fresh small filets, stuffed with a savory filling and some good mashed potatoes. The glass of New Zealand sauvignon blanc I chose to accompany the crab had the strongest grapefruit nose I have ever experienced. I know these always taste of grapefruit, but this wine was over the top. No room for dessert. Our server was warm and pleasant, and the entire experience transported me back to shore dinners with my parents in the 70s. I would return.
