Seems like a popular local place. It was very busy when we went and certainly they have a lot of fresh seafood. A few bar seats too for singles and couples. Server was meh, but hostess and busser very sweet. Mussels were fantastic. Steamed clams and chowder were good. I've had better New England chowder even in Florida, but no real complaints. My complaint is the lobster roll. I thought it would be Maine style but it was served plain in a Sabrett style hot dog bun with hot butter on the side (I guess this is called Connecticut style? . It was also on the menu for $15 but they charged me $21; perhaps I saw a lunch price even though it was dinner time? It was served with very mediocre potato s...
So I was looking for the best lobster roll in the area. This definitely was not it. The lobster salad was very bland and had no taste the roll appeared to be a basic hot dog bun. And to make matters worse they placed the lobster roll in a tray of wet potato salad and cole slaw. It was so soggy and wet I couldn't even pick it up without it falling apart. The potato salad was bland and tasted like overcooked potatoes and mayonnaise. The coleslaw was also very bland and tasteless. The crabcake was not good at all. I will say the staff was very friendly when I went to pick up my order. Things to note the place is very small with not very much room to move around. Definitely not accessible unles...
Wow!! First time visit, but definitely not the last. Cozy and laid-back atmosphere, with a very friendly staff. Perfect for families, individuals like me, and definitely perfect for dinner after a day at the beach. Lobster bisque like none other that I won’t stop thinking about until the next time I have it. Delicious, fresh local oysters (offerings rotate to different ones each week). A wealth of choices of specials, fresh fish, and my new favorite, Neptune’s Nest: scallops, clams, mussels, shrimp and a whole lobster tail, served in a garlic cream sauce, inside a delicious bread bowl. Saw some nice varieties of pie go by, but hard to leave room for dessert with the generous portions. I shal...
For appetizers, we shared a cup of their excellent Manhattan clam chowder, a half dozen raw top necks, and a half bucket of soft Ipswich clams. My beloved ordered the crab cake platter, while I opted for the broiled seafood platter, which included scallops, baked clams, shrimp, and flounder. Aside from the fact that the crab cakes could have been hotter (though they were delicious), everything from the appetizers to the main dishes was perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. This charming little restaurant is just over an hour’s drive from our home, but it was definitely worth the trip!

I have been trying to find a real local seafood restaurant in New Jersey shore, and I definitely think this is the one. The food is excellent, the taste of the Fresh fish was amazing. My wife got the Neptune basket, and I can describe how good it was. We wasn't impressed with the sides coleslaw, mashed potato, and spaghetti) but definitely the main plate was really good. Don't forget to bring your own wine and remember to try one of the home made pies.
I usually like this place and had been coming here for many years. That all changed today. I was served a rotten smelly Lobster tail. It wreaked of ammonia, which is how can tell if seafood is spoiled. When I confronted the manager, his response was, I took it off your bill and then he walked away. Last time I go to this place and I high recommend the owners find someone with more maturity To manage this restaurant.
The food here is absolutely fantastic! I ordered the linguini with white clam sauce, and I can confidently say it's the most delicious and flavorful I've ever tasted. If you're a garlic lover, you're in for a treat, as there's an abundance of it. Many places can make this dish quite bland, but that’s definitely not the case here! The service was friendly and quick. I highly recommend this restaurant!
We just had a fantastic dinner at Spikes! Our server, Taylor, went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible experience. We enjoyed the best lobster bisque, red clam chowder, and crab dinners! A big thank you to Taylor for the exceptional service!
