Nice seafood shack. Good food, no big restaurant, very casual but exactly what I needed. Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Will be back

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 we appreciated that he asked if he could bring out the next courses when they were ready. We got a house salad (the dressing is excellent - perfectly light and acidic, really fresh greens), peel & eat shrimp, Maine lobster roll w/ fries subbed, and the lobster dinner with a side of New England clam chowder. Parking is always free across the street at the museum. A Montclair staple in my opinion.

We Have Been Here Multiple Times and we have never had a bad meal. Great Prices. The Owner is Super Personable and Friendly each time we have visited. One of the BEST Seafood Eatery in MT Claire. Highly Recommend anything on the Menu.

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 were fantastic, 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 his side instead of the sensible salad his parents choose. He made the right decision, because the chips were great. The sandwich was also very good, and really packed with a lot of meat. It was impressive.The staff was very friendly and even showed off the 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.

The staff were attentive. I love BYOB restaurants! The appetizers were great especially the calamari and fried clam strips. My main dish, the Angry Seafood was not good. I did not know it came in red sauce & the clams did not taste fully cooked. I was more satisfied with the appetizer.

The Lobster Mac & Cheese is delicious and the customer service was fantastic!

This place is great! Joyce was wonderful and our server Ashish was so nice! The food was tasty, fresh, and cooked perfectly. Our new favorite place

It was different I enjoyed my mini crab cakes mostly ...

This restaurant was my favorite spot until I got sick with COVID 1day after eating. Couple months after my mom ordered here and yet another failed attempt. She ordered clam chowder and they sent lobster bisque and when we called and reported it, they offered to refund and still nothing. One thing I dislike is a liar ?
