Reviews for Jack's Seafood Shack in Montclair, NJ
Always great for a lobster craving! We came for a late lunch/early dinner on a Sunday. Service was excellent. A+++. Our server... was so attentive, prompt, polite, helpful. The tables are on the smaller side if you’re getting several things so weappreciated that he asked if he could bring out the next courses when they were ready. We got a house salad (the dressing isexcellent - perfectly light and acidic, really fresh greens), peel & eat shrimp, Maine lobster roll w/ fries subbed, and thelobster dinner with a side of New England clam chowder. Parking is always free across the street at the museum. A Montclairstaple in my opinion. Read more
It's not cheap, but my family and I were super pleased with our seafood at Jack's. As an oyster lover, I chose the Oyster... Po'boy with salad and coleslaw for lunch. The roll it was on was amazing, even if the tomato was out of season. The pickles werefantastic, though, and made up for it. My wife had a blackened grouper sandwich with salad and slaw. The fish was fantastic;all three of us were impressed. The 13 year old went with a lobster grilled cheese sandwich with handmade potato chips as hisside instead of the sensible salad his parents choose. He made the right decision, because the chips were great. The sandwichwas also very good, and really packed with a lot of meat. It was impressive. The staff was very friendly and even showed offthe live lobsters to done children from another table. I'd love to go back and try Jack's for dinner another time. Check it out. Read more
Wife had the lobster roll, I had the crab cake sandwich both were delicious. Kids enjoyed their food too. Server was super... friendly. Glad we tried this spot we will be back! Read more
Atmosphere is great although it's a little pricey. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. You can dine in or you can order... and pick up. My lobster roll (around$30) was amazing as always my son's lobster mac and cheese (around $20) he said was good. Read more
Always a solid choice. Only one type of raw oyster available, but always fresh and clean (no grit or pieces of shell). Generous... portion of lobster on their roll. My friend always gets their oyster po'boy. And lobster Mac n cheese is our go-to for sharing. Read more
Convenient location, simple setting, excellent service. The lobster roll was good, although the roll was a little stale. ... Scallops were solid. Great range of choices on the menu. Read more
I liked the place, very causal ! The staff was nice and very attentive. Didn’t feel rushed at all and they even threw in a... nice surprise for my sisters birthday which was super nice. My reason for 4 stars is the food was average, with seafood it canbe so bland or packed with flavor and this one was just okay didn’t leave me wanting more. The presentation was on point butonce you started eating it was a bit underwhelming. Honestly this is just my opinion I love seafood and wished it was a bitmore flavorful. Definitely check it out for yourself and decide the atmosphere is still great for a nice casual lunch or dinner! Read more
