Not as bad as many of these reviews say it is, in my experience. The sandwich I had was good, beer was cold, service was friendly, and waited a normal amount of time. read more

Best meal I've ever had down the shore, hands down. Based on the other reviews, maybe I got lucky. We went down slightly off season, in the fall, when local fresh ingredients are plentiful but the crowds are not. And we were there on a weekday. They had specials that included fresh local scallops, flounder, fried green tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, corn.... Amazing beer selection too. Place was pretty empty, although the food took some time (and I'd expect good fresh food to take a little while). Totally worth it. read more

I hadn't been in the SeaviIIe Tavern in years.....my how its changed! A dreary Saturday afternoon and the pIace was empty.......THEN when we got our menu's and I understood.why.......THEIR PRICES ARE REDICUIOUS...$15 for a Cheese steak...$15 for a Burger......and the prices for aII the other sandwiches were as bad! The food was just ok!!!! Hadn't been there in years and doubt I wiII be there anytime in the future and judging by the empty bar and dining room many others must feeI the same way!!!!! read more

It was my first visit to Seaville Tavern, I met a friend for Happy Hour and it was midway between us. The Seaville Tavern has a great craft beer selection with many local brews available. The service was great and the owner/manager came over to check on each table, what a great touch. We ended up splitting an appetizer of boneless chicken wings and they hit the spot with the Thai Chili sauce. I will absolutely return to check out the rest of the menu. read more

Potato soup is the best around. Loaded pulled pork sandwich is to die for, as are the Old Bay fries w/cheese. read more

See all

Wing night is great, fries are great, and service is getting better! I've lived here in Seaville all of my life, and while I've felt they've left me hanging at times, I know I can go to this local bar of mine and they'll put on whatever game I want to watch. In the summer when all the shoobs are down, it's party time and the servers still treat me like the local I am. read more

Food is very good.. had asparagus and crab soup that was excellent. My husband had a rib special and they were great. My salmon couldn't have been better.. waitress was very nice and gave great service.. owner came by table to see if we were happy with everything.. We were! read more

The Shepherds pie is delicious. Very nice courteous We all enjoyed our food. I am glad we're back for the summer. Will be going back there a lot more especially after we got food from Acme and it was horrible the deli needs a new chef. read more

Let me tell you about my dinner Saturday night, we had wings and coconut shrimp for an appetizer, my wife had the chicken parm for dinner and I had the Salmon. Overall the food was soso, but we will most certainly be back just to have Robin wait on us again. While my wifes chicken parm was not that great, Robin had the personality to make up for it. She was busy running around, she smiled and spoke to us while we waited for our food on top of being an excellent server. I owned a restaurant for 25 years and I know how I used to want my employees to perform. Keep up the great work Robin See you soon! read more

This post saddens me terribly. I have been going here for 33 years for their wing night on Thursdays. I go there last week and they took away most of the flavors including the best flavor the teriyaki. They took away the lettuce wraps. I don't at all understand why they would ruin a good thing. Very disappointed. I hope the management realizes the errors of their ways. read more

Having recently eaten there for a great lunch I wanted to bring my family back for dinner. We were walk ins not knowing that dinner seating needs a reservation. It's not stated anywhere...In short, the hostess was straight up rude, you don't treat customers like that. Shouted we'd need to wait, over and over. Complaining to customers! And we were not alone, two other 4 tops followed us thru the door all with out reservations. This girl needs to go take hospitality lessons. read more

Wife had the sirloin tips last night and they were like 4 small hockey pucks. Won't be going back.

Seems like this place has an issue with making money, like they don't want to!! Wing night is the only time customers are there, and any other night they chase you out the door! Someone please buy this place and save it! read more

We live very close by and have been here several times mostly sitting at the bar to eat and drink and every time I say this is the last time I'll spend my money here. Well this time I really mean it. I ordered chicken florentine, what a total waste of money. Basically over cooked chicken breast and spinach over linquini in nothing more than chicken broth. There were four of us and not one decent plate among us. Never again. read more

Listen, im no chef but damn, I ordered shrimp scampi with penne.....how can you mess that up?The sauce on it was Thick and tasted like it was frozen at some point or another, it was cold, and the shrimp were barely done, the garlic bread served with both meals had "melted" butter on it, but wasnt toasted....weird . Ok I get it, its a Tavern and the beer list was good, but if you offer it, read a damn recipe online or something. Butter, garlic, white wine, lemon, salt, pepper....thats it. Wings are actually good. Kids sliders ehhhh. Muscles...nothing to be desired. Onion rings....they are onion rings. Oh and the menu claims they are farm fresh and they want the customers and employees to benefit from the place. Ahhh, no. Stick to fried food and beer and you are golden. Service was excellent. read more

I have never had a bad meal here. My reason for 3 stars is that sometimes the wait is ridiculous and you do tend to feel like the bartenders are chasing you out the door at 9:00 on a Thursday night.. There isn't many local bars besides CCT so it would be nice to be able to hang out here late night and be able to get the best wings this area has to offer.. read more

Terrible service and rude help makes this place not worth the stop ! And if you need to use the bathroom don't touch anything extremely dirty! read more

The worst service ever!! Cannot and will not ever eat here or spend $ @ this place! Waited15mins w/3 children with no wait n no one else around for a seat... Needless to say, we left after 15mins!! Worst ever read more

I eat here fairly often. 6-8 times a month spring to fall and once a month in winter. It's hit or miss with the kitchen. Great specials for dine in. Monday is 1 app, 2 entrees and a dessert for $21 or $25. Thursdays is wing nite $2.99 for 5 regular or boneless wings. Friday night is Prime Rib special. Great beer selection (draft and bottles). Beer specials are very competitive. Love the different beer flights and growler program. Food taste and quality is average. It is a tavern..... Not pleased tonight, which happens about 1/4 of the time here. People are friendly but it's difficult at times to get service. Even for take out. Took 20 min to order 1 sandwich and an appetizer. Finally phone was answered as I was pulling in. Bar had 5 guests restaurant had 1 table of 4. 5 servers, 1 mgr, 1 hostess and a bartender so I was a little annoyed. Otherwise, it's food for a good price for lunch and dinner. Outside patio open seasonally. Liquor store attached to tavern. Nice selection for the store size. Create your own 6pack available. Pass on the breakfast buffet. Very limited selection for $14-17/ pp plus drinks. It's literally fruit, cereal, bacon, sausage, steam table eggs and occasionally potatoes. They offer toasts but 1 toaster is set out for a packed restaurant, omelets to order but it takes a while. Menu recommendations: garbage fries, calamari, sliders, hot roast beef sandwich, chicken wings (but not boneless, they are sub par) and the Friday night prime rib special. Not recommended: chicken fingers. Too many times the taste and texture was as though they were fried ahead of time and microwaved before serving. Needed steak knives to cut. read more

The only reason I give this two stars is because you have the buffet. My wife and I waiting approx 5 minutes upfront to be seated and a woman who had no idea what she was doing decided to walk us around to try and find a table and didn't bother explained what goes on so we had to ask all the questions to figure out where to get our food. She finally offered us drinks but the glass we got was smaller than a baby sippy cup. All In all, you're better off staying home with the family and cooking breakfast together. It's cleaner, faster, easier and the food it hotter. Worst. Service. Ever. read more

Not your typical shore bar / restaurant. Service in the bar area dinning room was very good although as you sitting down the server is on top of you asking what you want to drink. We ordered 10 wing's as an appetizer which came out well before or dinner. The wings were really good . My wife ordered the mango chicken salad and I ordered the Cuban sandwich. The salad was large with a ample portion of grilled chicken and at least a half of a mango. My wife enjoyed the salad very much. My Cuban sandwich was what I was hoping for. Tender tasty shredded pork with tasty ham covered with melted cheese mustard and a few pickles. This was stuffed in side a perfect roll. Soft inside crusty outside. Upon biting into the sandwich there was a burst of flavor. You could taste each of the items in the sandwich. I was unable to finish the sandwich and took half to go. read more

I'm a local that has lived within walking distance of the Seaville Tavern for 27 years. I have patronized this bar/restaurant with varying frequency throughout the years and a few years ago started eating and drinking there at least once a week. I had always been very satisfied - HOWEVER over the last year the customer service has gone into the toilet. Eating there has become a guessing game of waiting for a server, waiting for cold food to come to the table, waiting for drink refills and waiting to see if they actually expect you to pay for the poor service because they take so long to bring you the check. For take out, just being acknowledged is very much like waiting for a taxi on a dessert road. Eventually somebody comes by and asks if you are being helped, then walks away to find someone else to help you - or says someone will be along, then moves on to anyone that looks like they can be passed off to an empty table so they too may begin waiting for bad service. Over the phone is even worse, as they have no qualms about putting you on terminal hold prior to taking your order. Recently, on a semi-busy night, I was asked to give up my bar seat for a group that walked in after me and had remained standing near but not at the bar. Despite available stools on both sides of me, they all wanted to sit together. I didn't even have a drink order yet - it was the first time in the ten minutes of my being there that the bartender had even looked at or spoken to me. The best part was that there were no stools left for me to sit on, but this too went unacknowledged. Naturally - I walked out and will not ever be back. read more

Is there anything better?? The food is soo good, the people are so nice! Get everything you are in the mood for because it will too your expectations! Also the potato soup it's amazing! read more

Great food and even better vibes. Staff was extremely courteous and knowledgeable of menu, gave great recommendations. Wings were amazing. Cant wait to go back read more

Have been here a few times this year. Went on St Paddy's Day and the specials of the day were outstanding. Had Red Potato Soup, Shepherd's Pie, Bacon Wrapped Scallops. Everything was very good. I hope to leave room for dessert next time! read more

Best wings , best soft pretzel bites and cheese steaks were yummy. On top of that a great bartender.

Cracking up. Loads of empty tables and booths and the hostess told us a 20 minute wait. Surf dog here we come! Oh and the waiting area was empty!! Haha read more

The 1st impression we should of left Dee went to sit my dad( I was on an important phone call outside) Dee told my dad that because of the holiday weekend he has to wait for us entire party the retiring was empty and they were only 2 tables sat. Very rude!!! The food was really good minus the cole slaw very dry. We would come 5-10 times a month and this will be our last time! read more

Service at bar was slow with handful of people who apparently were friends apps tasted like they where frozen then cooked tuna sliced to thick no wasabi as advertised shrimp not good . Waiting on burgers afraid to order dinners at those prices to find out they are not that good either will return after burgers. read more

I eat here literally 1 to 2 times a week. The food and staff are amazing especially the bartender Dee. The menu always has new things for their specials so we have never exhausted the menu. I'm writing this because I literally just ate the best steak I've ever had there. Totally recommend it. Also our waitress Robin gave great service. read more

I often have lunch out with clients and friends. Lunch today the Seaville Tavern was a bad experience from the start. There was a not so nice smell in the air, the dirt on the tables and menus was really bad. After asking the waitress to make a small accommodation on a menu choice I was told no we can't do that. It seemed more out of laziness to me because she did not seem to want to ask if something could be done or not. The drinks I ordered were completely watered down. And the general customer service of our waitress and bartender was downright awful and unprofessional. I've had better service at a drive-through. This review is solely based on my customer service experience here if I had to read the food I would give it 2 But because the atmosphere was so bad we couldn't even enjoy our food. read more

Been going here for years. Food is usually always good. New menu is better. However, the reason for only 3 stars is the service. Servers are always friendly and work hard but for some reason there are never enough of them. Therefore service is slow and often not as good as it should be because the waitresses are running around with no help. I keep telling my wife we are not coming back but we keep giving them another chance. read more

I never write reviews, however I felt the need to write one for our experience at the Seaville Tavern. 5 people in our group, and 4 out of 5 all said, "Worst meal we ever had". The only positive was the kids pizza we ordered. And to top it all off, the waitress dropped a plate of chicken wings on my wife. Totally covering her head and ruining her white jacket. Only response was "oh, sorry I'll get you some napkins". PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! read more

Very disappointed 1) Can you please hold? put on hold for 5 minutes only to be fed to a dead end answering machine. I call back and ask if they have boneless chicken wings, she says yes, I order them along with onion rings. 2) I arrive to pick up my food and its DEAD. I wonder why I was put on hold for 5 minutes? 3) The onion rings are $7? definitely frozen, not homemade ....PRICEY FOR THE QUALITY 4) I get home and check out my boneless wings, which I assumed would be long tenders... I find 10 chicken nuggets that look like they just came out of the freezer. 10 mini "boneless wings" for $9?!?!? So I call back to make sure its not a mistake, and its not. Turns out they have tenders, and boneless wings, and regular wings. Ok my mistake, maybe you could've let me know this when i asked if you had boneless chicken, that right there should've been a clue that I had not ordered from you before. But 10 chicken nuggets for $9? I would have been fine with like 20 you should see these things HAHA! Size of a half dollar, all breading. 5) The person who answers is immediately sorry and hands me to the manager, who is difficult and reluctant and argumentative about what has happened. I ended up saying, "forget it, Ill just come in and talk to you about it, I live down the street" I got my refund for the boneless wings. Thank you But, You get 1 star I have lived down the street from you for 10 years and have never gone here for food (just beer) and my parents just brought me to the realization of why... read more

Its hard to find something good to say about this place, The Tav has a great beer selection on tap and nice package good store, with a nice staff. but as for the food, it really isn't good and you have to wait forrrreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. If your just going to eat, seriously consider somewhere else.. Makes me sad to say that about my local bar. Place could use a real manager, not whoever the clown thats running the show now.. read more

We've eaten here several times and have had great service every single time. Servers were always friendly and prompt. Our food is brought out fairly quickly, even on busy nights. The food itself is so-so. Not great but not bad. I personally think it's a little pricey for the quantity and quality. I recommend the scallops. The sides were slightly bland.. I'm sure we'll continue to eat there. read more

Just left there. We have tried going to this place periodically over the past 3 years. There are two constants- 1. Food is good and 2. The bartender is terrible and rude. Daria is the the worst. I gave her a couple of passes because we all have bad days but this woman is truly rude. I will not return as long as her miserable face is on the other side of the bar. This is not fair to the wait staff because they all are great. But for the Love of God...get some happy and helpful bartenders behind that bar. read more

I have given this place probably around 10 chances over the last 20 plus years. Whether it be meeting some friends or just saying "well it's been year's let's see if they have gotten better". NOPE. The owner of this place can not have concerns about making profit there. No way possible. You can walk into this place in the summer on a Friday night and get a seat no problem. Pretty hard task to achieve at the jersey shore. Food is "edible", the staff is horrible. I have witnessed them shut the bar down at 10pm with a full bar????? They do have an excellent selection of craft beer. I will give them that. But they have such a reputation of shutting the bar down early that no one seems to bother to roll the dice and have their night cut short at the bar so they go elsewhere. Place has so much potential. Maybe one day it will have a motivated owner. read more

Honestly have to say that the bar tender Corey is amazing. Really knows how to pour a drink. Easy to communicate with. And amazing hospitality read more

This Place sucks. You will wait forever to be seated & then even longer for a waitress to acknowledge your existence. We come here once or twice per year for the last 20 years. Always the same. Dont come here starving or with kids! Nightmare! read more
