Reviews for Viking Fresh Off the Hook in Barnegat Light, NJ

Hadn?t been here in 2 years and had the lunch fried scallop platter. 5 measly very small scallops that were over cooked. To top... it off they changed their breading to something with lots of Italian seasoning. Just overwhelmed the delicate flavor ofscallops. It was such a disappointment. At least they exchanged it for something else. Read more

Ordered 2 shrimp cocktails. Both smelled of ammonia and were slimy. Something wasn't right. Not fresh. We called and informed... them and they said "thanks for letting us know." Read more

Very delicious. Loved my scampi trio. The chicken park was mediocre. The clams were good, tasted a bit too salty. All the other... places in the area had 30+ wait time, called in and got our dinner within 30 minutes Will be returning for a second try. Read more

The new owners said that we needed to wait till 5:00 pm to order. Ok , we did my seafood trio came to my bl home cold !!!!Today my husband went at 4:45 pm to get our other favorite - scallop chowder !!

Tried this place out for date night and was not disappointed. The food was amazong and the portions were decent for the price. I... absolutely hate coleslaw and I wanted more of it from here. Definitely a place to try and would eat here again. Read more

We had clam strips and a burger. The clam strips were great, no rubbery taste like you can find elsewhere. Even the burger was... tasty. Will eat here again! Read more

The best, most authentic seafood place on the whole Island. Prices are relatively reasonable, servings are generous. Outdoor... seating ONLY. Lots of people get takeaway. It's fantastic! Read more

Went to this restaurant on a recommendation. Arrived right at 5 for dinner and placed our order within minutes of our arrival... and was the first to get a table, we waited 55 minutes for our food as l watched others arrive, order, sit at tables, get theirfood, finish eating and leave. Had to ask twice about our order and was told both times it would be 2 minutes. Once wereceived our food it was HORRIBLE! The shrimp was so overcooked it was like rubber and no flavor. Fish & Chips were thrown ina box over top of fries and was greasy when you bit into it. We got two sides of slaw, the first one tasted so bad that l hadto throw away, the second tasted ok. This is not acceptable for the price they charge, you can get better food at a fast foodplace. It was a waste of time and money. So disappointed! Read more
