    We went here for our first time after seeing an article about it in the West Essex magazine. There were 3 of us, I do not eat seafood but my wife loves it and she gets it in the summer time when we go to long island. We ordered the clam bellies which I am told were very good. I had the wedge salad which is was also very good. She had a lobster roll and I had the chicken sandwich. Both were very good, she would have liked to seen more lobster in in the roll and we asked about that and were told we could just ask for another portion next time. The lobster roll is 17 dollars which is very good and we pay more but usually get a little more, no big deal but we know better for next time. Overall it was very good. It was not crowded as it was a Sunday night and everything went smooth. The server was very nice and helped us order. We will go again.

    The lobster bomb was excellent. 8oz of lobster meat in a sourdough bowl, with bisque on it. The bisque gets soaked by the bread making it delicious. A must have. The crab cakes were nice, but it wasn't jumbo lump meat, and it's fried not baked. It sits on a tomato salsa like thing that's way way too sour. Give the crab cakes a pass. There's plenty of free parking (even on a Saturday night) at the museum parking lot opposite. They charge you $4 if you BYO which is a bummer coz it's a BYO place. Either serve wine, or let me drink my own without your surcharge.

    Seating is not my favorite; elbow to elbow. The shrimp tasted really fresh - prepared in a garlic sauce that was a little too oily and the lobster fritters were too mushy... However, the lobster tail was perfectly prepared, excellent in fact..

    I hesitate to give this place a good review - not because they don’t deserve it - because nobody seems to know about it, and I kinda want to keep it that way, LoL! If you imagine yourself eating seafood in a New England restaurant known only to locals, Jack’s is exactly like that - but without the 3-hour drive. It’s not dressy, but is great for small groups and celebrations. BYOB.

    My wife really wanted to go here for her birthday, as she is a huge seafood fan. This place did not disappoint! Service was wonderful, the choices were plentiful, and I feel like the food was reasonably priced. The ambiance is super cute, too. I imagine we will be back for another birthday celebration!
