We LOVE ordering delivery from this group and just tonight I learned why they're so good at what they do. The people. Prob have ordered ~20 times, never an order wrong and for bigger orders they throw in some nice free surprises complete with a smiley face on the box. But finally something showed up without the bag of shrimp & sausage we ordered. I called, and the woman who answered was INCREDIBLY nice and informative. We realized it was clear the driver forgot the bag and I got it within 5 minutes. But just how concerned, informative and attentive she was, showed me why they're so good at this. The sauces are all fun, they give you tin trays to pour your delicious food into, cracker tool thing often included, bibs etc. it's the little thing. Food is high quality seafood done right. We typically do shrimp, sausage, catfish is one of my favorites and I dip it into the sauces, then either the crab or some clams in that fire lemon pepper sauce. Anyway, all around excellent, and will support even more now that I've had a chance to learn about the people behind the kindness you see in food preparation. Oh and don't sleep on the crawfish either. read more

The food was incredibly flavorful and delicious, but the portions were smaller than I expected. A bit more on the plate would have made the experience perfect. read more

The High Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Food (4/5): We ordered the shrimp po'boy which was decent. The main issues was that there was way too much sauce making the entire sandwich soggy, additionally the bread could be more crispy. It was overall pretty good though. Service (4/5): The server was friendly and came out to greet us and hand out a flyer while we were checking out the restaurant outside. Ambiance (3/5): A small restaurant mostly for to go and not the best decorated but it gets the job done with the lit up menus with pictures and food photos on the side of the wall. read more

The High Seafood - Inside - Seafood Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Was very disappointed this time. They sent me the cheapest fork possible on the planet. It would not even help me crack my crab or do nothing. I ended up using my teeth and my fingers throughout the whole process. A plastic knife would have been better than the plastic fork they sent. Other than that food was good. Had great flavor. Little short on the juice. That really wasn't a lot for the crab legs to mix up in but everything else was fine read more

Disappointed in this place. Prices are reasonable relative to competitors. As the saying goes you get what you pay for. A 1/2 of crab legs isn't just 1 cluster. Buyers beware! read more

I have ZERO complaints. As newbies to Jersey City, my Fiancée and I were skeptical about where to purchase food , well seafood to be exact. I found The High Seafood on Google and decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did ! This was GREAT eat. Al the food came beautifully packed and extremely hot ! My fries weren't sweating and my shrimp weren't soggy .. I LOVE THAT ! I loved my Basket. My Fiancée got the Catfish Basket and enjoyed his food as well. I purchased the Mini Boil just for us to try it out. I love a good a seafood boil and even more when the butter Sauce is on POINT ! Needless to The High Seafood House Special sauce got it ! Next time I have to have it a little spicy ! I'd recommend this place to anyone who likes seafood. Reasonable prices and good quality food. Can't go wrong especially when you food comes still hot as hell ! We enjoyed and will again read more

The High Seafood - Family Platter - Seafood Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

The food was great! First time ordering from there. I can't stop thinking about how good the food is there. 10 out of 10.

I ordered shrimp and lobster tail and enjoyed every single bite. Ordering the sauce on the side was a good choice since the medium spicy was a bit more pungent than I expected, but it was good read more

They sorta just popped open in the hood in the old Chinese spot. Not much was done inside other than adding more decorations. I tried them one afternoon. Called for a pick up for Cajun fries and wings. Took my time to get there and still ended up waiting 15 minutes. Overall the wings were good. Fries were excellent. It is a good wait but they are new and adjusting. Give the them a try, it might be worth it. They get a recommendation read more

This place just opened down the street and is offering 10% off for the grand opening week, so I gave it a try. They cheerfully took my takeout order and said it would be ready in ~10 minutes. I picked it up about 15 min later, so by the time I got home, it was in it's container for ~15 min. I got sweet potato fries and a soft shell crab Po'Boy. The sweet potatoes fries were soggy (but tasted fine), and the sandwich was a bit heavy on the bread. There were two decent sized lumps of fried crab. To be fair, I should've known better with the fries, as I don't often have good luck with takeout sweet potato fries. I'd say the food would be better if you eat there, but it's a takeout spot. I'd recommend trying one of the platters and a different side, as I may have gotten unlucky. read more

The High Seafood - the menus of the restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

For lunch, my husband and I were pleasantly surprised how delicious, fresh, fast the food came out. We ordered online for pickup and the food was ready in five minutes. We placed an order for the catfish Po' boy sandwich, the oyster Po' boy sandwich, and the Tasting Combo which included shrimp, mussels, sausages, & snow crab in the House Special sauce. The sandwiches came out really good. We especially liked how soft and flaky the catfish. The Tasting combo was very fulfilling. We thought it came with a decent amount of seafood. The mussels were very fresh and it did not disappoint. The sauce was bold and flavorful. I would like to try other sauces on the lighter note. All in all, this restaurant is fairly new in the neighborhood. It is great for takeout rather than dining. I would definitely give this food establishment another try! read more

Really great seafood takeout! Had the soft shell crab basket with fries & a side of hush puppies. Crab was tender, not over cooked & not greasy. So delicious! Fries were fresh & not greasy. Hush puppies were nice as they had good pieces of fresh corn & were super crispy & not dry. Overall, highly recommend. The staff was super nice when came in to pick our food up. Glad I gave this new spot a try! read more

I made a yelp account for the one and only reason of praising this place. I didnt talk for 30 minutes while eating it. I dont even think I took a breath. If you ever decide to bottle and mass produce/sell in stores whatever is in that House Sauce, I will surely go bankrupt. read more

Polite staff, food preparation times are solid, but something about the cleanliness of this former Chinese restaurant is suspect. The food quality isn't there either. Crabs are drenched in imitation clarified butter and taste skunky. Shrimp fried rice was edible but light on the tiny shrimp. Miss Just Be'Claws downtown. Guess I have to prepare my own crabs. read more

honestly, don't go. i didn't even waste my time and take pictures of the food. the seafood was old and you could tell just by the look and smell. they undercooked my wings and it was still pink and yuck inside. the best thing was the cajun fries lol but yeah don't waste your money like me also the lady at the front was nice! lol read more

I tried this restaurant twice , definitely wouldn't recommend I tried the seafood and I also tried lemon pepper wings , first time I ordered seafood online second time I went to pick up wings .. it's basically a small spot in the hood kind of that look like a old Chinese restaurant when you go inside , it's next to a liquor store that had a couple drunk guys outside and the seafood wasn't as clean to me as other restaurants nor was the wings , when you open the wings it was the black looking stuff , I definitely wouldn't buy again and I gave it 2 attempts just wasn't for me , the seafood wasn't horrible , it just wasn't hitting like the usual seafood restaurants and at that they give you very little amount .. read more

I have left a review before but this one will include pictures. Mini combo is very mini. 1lb crawfish did not seem like a pound to me. Look at picture you be the judge. I feel the one pound included the 2 piece corn it came with which could be at least 4oz on their own. Tasting combo was an ok bargain. Advice if you want different things order them separately. Adding them cost more. For example I was going to order 1/2lb crawfish with side (7.50) and add black mussels (9.00). I decided to order crawfish with side for 7.50 and black mussels with side 8.50 and you get two extra corns for .50 cheaper or potato whatever side you choose. I would think if you added something it's would be a little cheaper not more then ordering it separately and you get more food. Food was flavorful. Crawfish wasn't really that good just ok. Onion rings (3.00) are good but you get a little only enough for one person. read more

Probably the best shrimp boil you're going to get between the Jersey shore and Massachusetts. I ordered the Taster's Combo B (shrimp, sausage rings, green and black mussels, a half an ear of corn, and one potato). Quite filling for one. Everything was cooked perfectly; the corn was sweet and succulent, the potato was silky, the seafood was fresh and it was sauced to order. All for under $10 (I didn't order a drink). The place was immaculate (even if it was a bit underwhelming in décor) and did not smell of fish or heavy frying oils, and I walked in about an hour before closing (10PM). For a fast food take-out joint in a residential neighborhood on a major thorough fair, this is an unexpected surprise and a welcome addition to the standard pizza and 'chinese' take out joints. read more

A good place to get fast (and reasonably priced) seafood! I usually get their shrimp and crawfish in their house sauce. The house sauce is very good without being too salty like most places. Definitely a spot worth trying! read more

The food was excellent! Portion size was enough for 2 people, it was fresh and full of flavor! I will be ordering again soon.

Awesome seafood with really reasonable price, the employees are really nice. I tried the king crab legs and shrimp with no head, both are really delicious with garlic butter sauce! Welcome to the neighborhood! Best seafood restaurant in Jersey city! read more

The shrimp fried rice tastes awful and it has a flavor like cooked with OLD USED OIL. I don't recommend this restaurant AT ALL, and I want my money back. Thank you. read more

When they 1st opened it was great the portions were nice size. I always order the Catfish and onion rings. This last time it sucked. The portion looked like they cut the Catfish in half and the onion rings had no onions in them. read more

New spot, so decided to give it a try. Ordered 2lbs of king crab that were no bigger than snow crab legs, potatoes and corn that were both still on the raw side. It definitely was not worth the money I paid. It was seasoned very well is about the only positive thing about my experience. I had high hopes for this place. Very sweet owners and great customer service. Food isn't worth trying again though . read more

i ordered the tasty combo just to try them out and they didn't disappoint! It's my favorite seafood spot for seafood boils
