Absolutely terrible from start to finish! We were sat waiter came over to say he'll be right with us and then we waited. He took our drink order which took forever to get and he apologized for the wait. Then waited again to put in our food order and he apologized again that it was taking so long. Asked if we needed anything and then never saw him again until the check. $40 for 4 scallops dinner for two was $145 before the tip. It's robbery. Service was apathetic, couldn't care less. No mgt walking and checking on tables. Two tables down from us had the same look on thier face, like why are we here and what are we paying for! Tuckers you may be on LBI but your restaurant and service does not deserve the prices you are charging! read more

Unfortunately, our experience at Tucker's Tavern fell short of expectations. Aside from the tuna tacos, everything on our table was below average. French fries, unsalted. Asparagus, very overcooked. The chicken was dry, nachos were lacking.. hummus was so over seasoned it was unpalatable. Poor quality all around. The majority of our food went uneaten. I wouldn't recommend this spot read more

Third stop on our drinking and appetizer walk. Had the tuna tacos which were fabulous. Crispy shell and filled with tuna and had a good sauce. LOVED the back of their shirts. My new saying!! Busy bar with fresh food and live music. Can't go wrong! read more

We scored a rooftop table at Tuckers and got one of the best sunset views I've ever had with dinner. Watching the sun drop over the marina with boats in the background was absolutely stunning.. the perfect backdrop for a summer night. The restaurant itself is huge with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options, but landing the rooftop is a total win. Service was friendly and on point from the start. We kicked things off with oysters (fresh and briny) and their flatbread, which was crispy and loaded with flavor. I had the lamb tacos which were tender and well-seasoned, while my date went for the burger, which came with perfectly crisp fries. Drinks were strong and refreshing, and sipping them while the sky turned orange and pink was pure vacation bliss. If you're in Beach Haven, Tuckers' rooftop is a must. Go for the view, stay for the relaxed vibe, and plan your visit around sunset.. it's worth it. read more

Outstanding experience at Tuckers last night. Entire staff took great care of us and the food came out quick which helps when you're dining with a toddler is tremendous. We went heavy on the oysters which were meaty and fresh. Caramelized mushroom and burrata toast was a great combo and that chopped salad was diesel for what you paid. Gimme all the blue cheese bacon and tomatoes you have. That they did and the spaetzle mac n cheese was perfect. Not overly cheesy and baked with breadcrumbs. A few Manafirkins on draft sealed this one with a victory. read more

What could improve? Food, service, management. The food was, in a word, terrible. How can u ruin a simple burger? Maybe put a 1/4 cup of mayo on it and top it with burned short rib beef. What about a cob salad with chicken? Bury it in mayo (I swear) and top it off with rubber chicken. Then there was the splattered ketchup the server dropped all over the floor AND never came back to clean it up. My granddaughter nearly fell when she got up, stepped in it, and nearly did the splits. Management was alerted. They hemmed and hawed and ultimately deducted a drink and appetizer from the bill and offered a gift card - seriously, a gift card? - never going back. The right thing would have been to zero out that bill. Everything was basically inedible. read more

We stay at in Barnegat Light every year and our friends don't want to drive the length of the island. My wife and I stay an extra night just to go to Tucker's. It is worth the drive. We sat upstairs on the deck at the bar seating for the view and because your server is right in front of you the whole meal. We had a bottle of Erath Resplendant which is a very good Pinot Noir. Dinner was oysters, tuna tacos and a Battered Cod Sandwich. All were great! See you again in a year. read more

Popular pub that serves flavorful appetizers and entrees that brings customers back for more. Rooftop seating is available with a view of the bay. The bar is fully stocked and the bartenders are on their game, regardless of how busy it gets. I enjoyed the calamari which came with jalapeños and aioli, a delight. I was looking forward to the Bay scallop and clam chowder and was disappointed when a huge plate arrived with about a tea cup full of chowder. Too bad, it was tasty but not worth $14.00 And don't get me started on $35 souvenir t-shirts... read more

We sat at the bar and Angelina was a great bartender and server. She knew how to handle a busy place. We had the cheese curds and peal and eat shrimp. The curds were the best I ever had and I lived in Wisconsin for a few years. Shrimp was tasty not overloaded with old bay. Just right. House cab and vodka cranberry were fine. The atmosphere and bar were beautiful. All good. Would love to visit in the winfer. Thank you Angelina! read more

When I tried Tuckers Tavern I was not pleased. I went with my whole family. We got the kids grilled chicken with fries and asparagus which was very disappointing. The chicken was very dry and chewy. The asparagus was overcooked- soft and soggy. We also got the kids chicken tenders with fries, which were good but pretty basic and there was nothing special to it. The salmon was the only good thing we got on the table. It had the right amount of seasonings along with some fried vegetables. We also got a side of asparagus with some spicy mayo sauce on top. We ended up leaving the whole thing except for one or two pieces. The asparagus was way too soft and soggy with no taste and no flavor. The side of potatoes was soggy, dry and had too much pepper on it. We also got lamb tacos which did not have enough seasoning. The tuna tacos were also pretty good and we enjoyed them. The tzatziki and hummus with pita chips were just ok. The hummus had too strong of a curry flavor and we barely ate any because of this, and the tzatziki was a little too thick. The chicken enchilada nachos were really dry and did not have enough chicken. They also lacked cheese and had a mediocre sauce. Lastly I'll comment on the service- our waitress Sammy was very attentive, sweet, and helpful. Overall, I give Tuckers Tavern 1 star and I will definitely not be coming back. read more

Definitely feeling the summer squeeze but dealing well with it well for a fair weather Friday night. Place was clean , seafood was fresh and clean. Presented well and i think moderately priced. Service was a little slower but not enough to make you scratch your head. Multiple staff asked if we need help. read more

If you are looking for a waterfront view and fresh seafood this is the place to go. We sat outside on the rooftop with 3 kids and 2 adults. Went for lunch on a Wednesday in late August. Outside bar was packed and the rooftop had one server. She was definitely a little overwhelmed as service took some time, but we had time to waste. Food was delicious especially the crab cake . Thai peanut sauce was a different combination on the crab cake, but it worked overall. The entire restaurant is huge and has 4 bars in it. Would love to go back and experience inside. Fun fact- have never seen toilet paper on the door of each stall. Loved that! And the rack for your bag. read more

Came here on a Saturday night in late spring with my girlfriends We had a great time. We were able to get a table right away. We started with some drinks, which were all good. We ordered the flatbread pizza, wings, and calamari for appetizers. The wings were amazing. The flatbread was OK and the calamari was not good For the main dish. I got the flounder piccata, which was really good and filling. Our waitress was very friendly and nice . overall I would say this is a great pick if you're in the area. I also love the decor. read more

I always like going to Tucker's. It's large so it's never a problem getting a table. And it's an attractive bar. We ordered the Sunday specials at the bar this time. The "Rhode Island style" calamari wasn't really RI style, but it was very good. The roast pork sandwich was excellent. The crabcake sliders were really pretty terrible, though. Super friendly bartender. read more

Servers can barely be bothered with you. Flat out ignore you when you ask for things. Bartenders on deck nice and all but can't make a drink for anything! Mojitos, whiskey sours, horrible!! Great ambiance but service sucks. read more

Go here for the freshest sushi grade tuna tacos, the guac with corn and seasoned pita chips, and the tuna main. Everything was fresh and amazingly delicious. Seriously might have been the best freshest tuna in my life! Try a Tuckers Tea and enjoy the company and beach life atmosphere. Very large place, fun vibe, live music, and lots of mermaids! The only opportunity was the bar bc they seemed short staffed and it took a long time to settle up before heading to the dinner table. I'll be back! read more

The atmosphere was upscale tavern style and enjoyable- and family friendly for sure. The food was very good, but the portions (especially the chowder and shrimp cocktail) were very small. I will say the burgers looked huge- but the seafood entrees that we got we fairly minimal. It was an expensive dinner for two parents and two kids (who each got kids means) and we all left a little hungry even though we had two apps to share and our meals. I asked for the house rosé, thinking it would be the cheaper, and it was the more expensive option! A 4 oz pour for $18!?! It was a fine wine.. but, really? I guess this is maybe typical LBI pricing but I think there are better deals with just as much dining atmosphere elsewhere in Beach Haven.. Anyway. The food was good - just bring your wallet if you want to feel full when you leave! read more

Jon is the absolute slam dunk best bartender I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. Nobody pours up mint martinis like this man. Made our experience unforgettable. Will be back every night we are in LBI. read more

Tucker's Tavern was the perfect first meal for our first time in LBI. We sat in the outdoor area with high-top seating--it gave off rooftop vibes even though the actual rooftop was closed. The oysters and tuna tacos were excellent, and the coconut-tini was incredible. The blueberry drink, on the other hand, tasted like water. The inside bar looked a bit depressing, but we didn't sit there, so who cares? Service was good, and overall it was just a perfect beach lunch. read more

To sum up our experience here: PRICE GOUGING AND DISAPPOINTING Soup $14!!! And in a SHALLOW bowl and delivered lukewarm as well. Had to send it back. Soup was really good tho', too bad. Also, calamari was rubbery and tiny pieces. . Really? We wouldn't finish it. Asparagus was sub-par. What a shame. Again, we wouldn't finish it. BUT, lucky for Tuckers.....they get tourists who will accept this. And by the way, I'm sure you needed to charge again for that coke refill. Hope it helps. After all, we only spent $175 at your restaurant. And please leave instructions on how your patrons can find the onions in your onion rings. So disappointing and will NOT be back. New Yorkers expect quality - too bad the bar was set low here. read more

We were looking for a laid back place with beer in draft. We couldn't help but notice the proliferation of mermaid art. I think they are from the same artist. Check it out. We had the calamari to start. It's a heavier batter than you may be used to, but I really enjoyed the hot peppers with them. I had the tuna tacos which have an Asian bent and were very tasty. In our party, we had crab cakes, tuna, and fish and chips. All was good, but we found a hair in the fish. The restaurant made it right, so kudos for that. read more

On vacation from FL, we used to live in NJ and would come to LBI every summer. Multiple family members have houses here. We have been here before. We looked at the online menu again before we came and were enticed by the happy hour food menu. Apparently you cannot get the happy menu on the upstairs deck. Okay fine, we will go downstairs....downstairs you can only have it at a high top or at the bar. We were a party of 6. The high tops were for 3 people each and we were told no when we asked to slide 2 together. You guys lost out on a bunch of drinkers and eaters with this bait and switch. We left and went across the street. Had a great time with better food options. read more

We had a lovely experience! Our server was great and food/drinks/view was beautiful. Yes, it's crowded and expensive but it's LBI in the summer *shrug*. Loved it and would definitely go back. Tuna tacos, chowder, and oysters were great! read more

Food was excellent nice and quiet on a Spring Sunday afternoon. Fire in the fireplace. Service was excellent. Oysters and cheese curds!! Tuna tacos and flatbread pizza. A few local beers. Some were out, likely because it was Sunday. read more

Ate here recently. Cheese curds were not very warm. Neither was the scallop/clam chowder soup. The scallop dinner was a disappointment. The sauce tasted like ketchup. Way too expensive at $42 for the entree. Service was not bad and neither was the ambiance. Food quality does not match the prices. read more

Where do I begin? We had reservations for 4 at 5:30 Saturday evening 9/20/25. When we arrived, we came in the back door from the parking lot to see a sign about 20 feet inside to check in at the front host stand. When checking in, the maitre d had a sour look on his face. No smile, no greeting, just "Follow him" pointing to another man who looked like a bouncer for a NY nightclub. Again, no smile, no greeting. Very unwelcoming arrival. Next, we were seated at a table for 6 just inside the back door where people were constantly walking around our table coming in and going out. The table was also located between the 2 doors to the kitchen with staff constantly circling our table including the bus help with bus pans full of dirty dishes and waste, one of whom knocked into my back when I was eating. I suspect that the table had been moved into the direct path of the back door entrance to clear the most convenient pathway arc to the kitchen door for the bus help. I wondered how the fire marshal would react to seeing a table of diners smack dab in front of an exit. Is this not a fire code violation? The server was over the top enthusiastic. She took our drink orders, then came back to tell me that the restaurant ran out of the beer I ordered. I ordered a glass of wine. When she brought the drinks to our table, she took appetizer orders. I ordered the clam and scallop chowder. A food runner delivered the soup fairly quickly, but neither the server nor the food runner brought a spoon. I called out to the food runner that I needed a spoon. She looked at me like I was from Mars. A minute later, the server came to the table with a spoon in her hand and asked, "Did you need a spoon?" I said nothing except thank you. I started eating the soup when my wife asked me how it was. I said "It would be better if it was hot." It was a few degrees warmer than room temperature. As she rolled her eyes at me, my wife said, "Well, why don't you send it back?" After the the server had taken dinner orders, I handed her the soup plate and asked her to heat it up. She said something like "Oh, they must have just put it out." The soup came back. It was very salty and mostly potatoes and celery. After searching a while, I did find the lone scallop. There were probably about 5 clam pieces in there too. Not something I would ever order again. For dinner, the ladies both ordered Caesar salad with shrimp. My BIL ordered fish & chips. After learning from the server that the tuna was served seared and rare, I decided to order a cheeseburger (foolishly) medium rare. When delivered by the food runners, both the fish & chips and the burger came with fries. My dish had a very small portion of ketchup. My BIL's had none. My wife asked, "Do you need ketchup?" We looked for our server hoping she'd come by to ask if everything was ok. No follow up. After waiting for a few minutes, I flagged down one of the busboys on his way to the kitchen with a load of dirty dishes and asked him to please bring us some ketchup. Tick, tick, tick, tick - no ketchup. Then what appeared to be the dining room manager came by the table and asked "How was everything?" I told her we had two plates of fries in front of us, but no ketchup. Could she please bring us some ketchup for them. She had the confused, fearful deer-in-the-headlights look on her face. Poor thing must have been shocked that we didn't respond "Great!" She left and a few minutes went by before she brought 2 very small portions of ketchup in small stainless steel cups. I said "we need 2 more, please." I mean come on, really? Can you spare it ? Over the next few minutes, our server brought a plate with 5 more ketchup cups. By now the fries were cold. The burger, by the way, was raw. But at this point they had worn me out and my wife was embarrassed enough that I had said anything at all... Ok. Enough said. Sitting at a table in front of the back door and between the kitchen entrance and exit; lukewarm soup served with no spoon; fries with no ketchup. Managers appeared to be interested in running a business where the customers were an inconvenience or necessary evil. Felt like eating on a pig farm, the difference being that the pig farmers that slop the pigs care about the pigs. Not so here. read more

You walk in and the staff is very friendly, our server was very helpful and making it so there was no rush, food took a little bit but it was a party of 13 so I'll give them credit. You can sit inside, outside, or outside on the deck so a lot of seating options. Food was very good especially the wings. Only issue was the adults we went with got warm beer. read more

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience at Tuckers this year. This week was a special one for our family -- it's my birthday, my son's birthday, and my wife's as well. We've been going to Tuckers for years to celebrate and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Sadly, that wasn't the case this time. My hot pasta dish came out cold, my son ordered a medium-rare burger and received one that was well-done and burnt, and my other son was given grilled chicken and asparagus instead of the kids' chicken tenders and fries he ordered. We were hungry, frustrated, and honestly just ready to leave -- we didn't even say anything at the time. To make matters worse, the meal was extremely expensive for what we got. We've always liked Tuckers, but this experience left us very disappointed. We won't be returning. read more

had dinner around 5:15-5:30om. Was able to sit inside without a reservation and didn't have to wait very long. Our server Caden was very attentive and was super friendly. The martini was very refreshing and a great summer drink. The appetizers were delicious and brought out super quick. We loved the cheese curds and the hummus is a definite must get. All of us enjoyed the main course and the catch of the day was definitely worth it! Will be returning anytime. read more

Nice place food was good. I will be back cause close to my house. Plenty of seating. See you soon tuckers tavern.

returned to Tucker's for the second time last week. prior visit was summer 2024. Same trip 2025.looked forward to eating there again. I ordered the crabcake meal. The "crabcake" looked like a popover and the accompanying slaw and its peanut-Thai dressing was a strange pairing to the alleged crabcake. In my entire life I have never had a crabcake that had absolutely zero flavor and zero old bay. it was an awkward situation for me as I was with a dear friend, who wanted to treat me to a special dinner. Yes. I should have sent the thing back. the wait staff relentlessly followed up and was at table side to the point of being annoying. read more

Went here for a date night right before Christmas. The bar and dining room were very festively decorated and there was a fire in the fireplace. It was very quiet since it was the off-season. The food was delicious and I especially enjoyed the pre-appetizer that was brought over on the house! I have to say the best thing was the hospitality. The host greeted us (we had made a reservation) and had taken the time to check my profile to see we are vegetarians! He provided us with the vegetarian menu and the pre-appetizers were vegetarian. That kind of thoughtful service is almost nonexistent now. We very much appreciated it and will be back when we visit! read more

Hold up... i was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews on Yelp. I don't have a horse in the race and I've never been here. 1st time and i eat 70% of meals out in restaurants and i just got back from Italy. Just to give you an idea of my palate i love all types of food and will try anything once. We ordered 3 meals tonight even though there was only two of us. We need a meal for the Mrs's lunch tomorrow. We ordered the seafood special, traditional hamburger and the hot sausage bolognese dinners. Two drinks and a coffee at the end. The server was Ricky, nicest guy and came back to check on us several times other than bringing food or drinks out. The food- off the charts good. Wow. Never have i had every aspect of the meal taste so good. Even the fries that came with the burger were delicious. I will definitely be back and next time i want the roof top at sunset . read more

We ate on the rooftop, was a very nice vibe overlooking the island. The service was very good and made the dinner enjoyable. The food was good, we shared a bunch of apps and they were good. The environment definitely elevates the food. If was just based on the food I would give 3 stars. read more
