Reviews for Eighteenth Street Cafe in Barnegat Light, NJ
Amazing food, Highly recommend. One of my favorites is the clams casino
My apologies for the bad picture but it was so good I started eating. The filet was cooked to perfection as was the lobster... tail. Sweet potato and caesar salad were perfect compliments. Service us friendly and food is delicious. Highly recommend the18th Street Cafe. Read more
Not sure how we?ve missed this gem after 20+ years coming to BL but it didn?t disappoint. The food was delicious and fresh. It... was also prepared in a very reasonable amount of time and ready for pick up when they said. It?s not cheap but the portions wereample. My dad who is not a fan of ordering out was very pleased with everything too so we?ll be back! Read more
I really wanted to like this place however I just couldn't bring myself mentally to a place where I could find the food... enjoyable. The bill was 166 dollars for 4 adults and 2 children under 3. I got the ribs and shrimp dinner. The shrimp were soovercooked I bit one and gave the rest to my dogs. The ribs were worse. Not sure how they were prepared but they weren'tsmoked, grilled or slow roasted. If I had to guess I would say they were also fried but not in a good tasty korean BBQ kindaway. In a I don't know how to cook so I am going to try this and see if it works kinda way. The only reason the dogs didn't getthe ribs was the store bought BBQ sauce they put on them. I may have been able to force feed myself if they had provided somecocktail sauces or maybe some extra BBQ sauce. But our bags contained none of that. No utensils, no wipes for your hands, noketchup for the fries(we got kids dinners) nothing at all. This place is awful. Read more
I love this place. The staff are all family. Makes you feel right at home. Menu is small but they make it up with specials. I... had the lobster tail and filet mignon. The lobster was so fresh. Bring money they dont take cards. Old school beach place atit's best. Cant wait to come back Read more
This is a PSA (Public Service Announcement) for this restaurant based on my experience in completing reviews of 100's of... restaurants. This place is among the bottom five of all time. Know before you go... This establishment is extremelyunderwhelming and unfortunate when it comes to the level of cuisine for the high end prices charged for their food. Look at theoutside of the building on Google. It's essentially a mobile home double wide trailer. That's not normally an issue, unless theestablishment charges Manhattan prices for tremendously basic fare and flavorless food. I respect simple dishes that you cantaste the freshness or the subtleties of the meal, but the plates coming out of this kitchen were abysmal. The fish was killed,clams casino completely lost in vegetables, and the scallops rubbery and nearly tasteless. They also serve frozen baby circlepizzas for kids, which to me is kinda weak, but not that big a deal. The inside of the double wide lacks any character - woodpaneling blankets all of the walls a-la 1970. They also do not take credit cards, and when the average entree is $26 to $45,the lack of payment options is ludicrous. If you happen to have your checkbook, well you can pay by personal check. It's unrealto think an establishment with as a high end price per dish, doesn't take credit card - though you can walk down to the gasstation and use their ATM. I respect that this is a family run establishment with the owner working the tables and the chef inback, but for the outrageously high price, I expect much more. It was sadly a complete waste of money for the product producedin my opinion. They are good people I'm sure, the restaurant just majorly missed the mark for me. Lastly, I also get that somepeople enjoy this place for sentimental reasons having been here for years. I respect that, so this review is really for thepeople who haven't been there before.
