Reviews for Jack's Lobster Shack in Edgewater, NJ
I’ve always ordered from this place and it’s always delicious. I don’t know what happened this time. I ordered the crab... legs and the lobster fetuccini Alfredo. The crab legs tasted old and didn’t have a good flavor at all. I had to throw away thecrabs legs. I spent $94.90 for this Read more
Ordered the clam chowder, lobster dinner, steamed shrimp, which were huge and delicious, onion rings which was excellent.... Service was quick and the servers were extremely pleasant and helpful with the menu, especially Talia. Everything was delicious.I came over from the city for other business and stumbled over the shack. I will definitely be making the trip back to try someof their other delicious dishes. Read more
This was my first time ordering from here & wish I had found it on past visits. The fish & chips were absolutely delicious. I... had it delivered to my hotel. My only complaint is the french fries. Steak type fries would be nicer with fish, but that’s me.Will definitely order from them again when in the area. Update: I was in the area again this week for work & ordered Friday &Saturday. The food is so damn consistently good. The tall Asian delivery driver is so friendly he delivered to my hotel on bothoccasions. This place is definitely my go to when back here again. Read more
I loved the relaxed family environment! Our server was lovely and had helpful suggestions about menu items. We had the fish &... chips... you could almost taste the beer in the batter. It was delicious. The calamari and beet salad was fresh and tasty! Nexttime I'm having lobster or maybe the lobster rolls. Read more
Ordered pickup and food was prepared fast. The lobster roll was much smaller than expected and tasted fishy. Didn’t worth the... 30 bucks and probably the worst lobster roll I’ve had (I’ve tried at least 6-7 places). Ordered a bowl of lobster bisque butalso seemed more like a cup. Tasted okay a bit salty though very creamy. Mac and cheese was good and okay portion but honestlyit’s difficult to make it bad lol. We were looking forward to this newly found lobster place on a Friday night butdisappointed. Final verdict - Won’t return. Below is added in response to the owner’s reply: Lobster roll size - Iappreciate the citing of the other 2 dozens restaurants but I’m just a consumer and all I had was my own experience. And myexperience was that this was the third lobster roll I’ve had in the past two months and it was smaller than the other two Ihad (one from a NJ local food truck and one from a lobster shack in Long Island). It could be that I just had better luck in theother two places but all I said was “smaller than expected” because it was. Reading the other reviews for this restaurant, Ialso saw that I’m not the only person that had this feeling. Lobster roll price - I understand the pandemic had jacked up theprices for things but as a first time customer, I was hit with a smaller than expected lobster roll with a not so fresh fishytaste (instead of the fresh sweet lobster taste which is why I called it fishy). I wouldn’t know this is the highest price in6 yrs and honestly I will probably be happier paying for a $34 lobster roll that’s better quality and seemed more like a fullmeal. The price difference is negligible for good food. I said I won’t return because it wasn’t a good experience for me.Other people who saw the pics and agree with your cited industry standards can form their own opinions. Read more
Finally there’s a great spot in New Jersey for lobsters. The lobster was obviously fresh and delicious. The bread maybe just a... little bit too buttery. Also if maybe the bread was different from a regular toast bread to give some crunchiness it would bemuch better. The service was great, everyone very cordial and nice. The bisque is absolutely delicious, the best I’ve ever hadin my life Read more
If you love seafood and your looking for a nice little date this place may be an option. They aren’t overly priced and they... are B.Y.O.B. (Bring your own bottle) as they only serve non alcoholic beers, however they do have a selection of wine withalcohol. I had the lobster roll with chips (I didn’t like the chips as they were a bit over done, so they were very hard),calamari was great, salmon with sweet potato fries. The waiter was very nice and made a great recommendation on the lobster rolland wine Chardonnay. Definitely would go back and recommend to others! Read more
This is the third time I have ordered fish and chips from here and so far I have not been disappointed, the cod is always fresh... and juicy, the fries are crispy and the tartar sauce complements the fish well. 100% recommended to kill your fish and chipscraving. Read more
