First time here after hearing good things. Some off the best seafood I have ever had. The staff were all extremely nice and many of the customers were greeted like part of the family. Will definitely be going back again and again. Got the Full Monte meal and was only able to finish half.
Me and my girlfriend drove out to seaside boardwalk stopped here beforehand. Was not disappointed . Food was super fresh and the family who runs the business showed great hospitality. A must if your craving fresh delicious food.
In this area, yes, you can go the one of the big restaurants on the water for seafood and enjoy the view and have access to a bar. That's nice. The trade off is the quality and quantity of the food. It is okay. I have been to them all and disappointed. Monty's is a small, family owned business. There isn't any view to gaze out on. They do not have a bar. They do have a selection of other beverages and you can BYOB! The food is great and your test buds will thank you. It is clean with a friendly staff. The menu expands beyond the fried and broiled seafood for the landlubbers. They also have seafood you can take home for your own culinary skills. Good luck on beating Monty's. Give them a chance. A+
The best family owned business with fresh seafood!
Today was our first time at Monte’s and I can say unequivocally it is NOT our last. We had the most delicious, perfectly cooked, and Fresh seafood we have ever eaten in a restaurant. I highly recommend the stuffed clams and crab cakes. You will not be sorry. The menu has lots of tasty dishes and I plan to taste them all. So I guess that means we’re coming back- over and over again. And next time we’re bringing the son and daughter-in-law. Thank you Monte’s Fish Fry. Oh and did I mention the fried flounder. The serving looked like it could have been the whole fish! Oh and I suggest that you wear comfortable clothes. You’ll want some extra room at the waist. ?
Today was our first meal at monte’s and it is certainly not our last. We found our favorite fish spot. We started with the most delicious stuffed clams, which are so big they could be called an entree. Then I ordered the crab cakes perfectly fried and abundantly stuffed with crab. My husband had the fried flounder. It looked like it may have been the whole fish. HOLY MACKEREL!!!! There is a great menu and we intend to try everything on it. If you want the boiled dinner just call in advance. It takes about 40 minutes to prepare. Did I say “fresh”? They stock daily. Can’t get better than that. I’m impressed and it takes a lot to impress me. Thanks MONTE’S FISH FRY. you made a life long customer. Next time I’m bringing my son and daughter-in-law!
Living on the Jersey Shore you would think that there are a lot of seafood resturants but actually there very few.I discoved this place on a Google search and based on reviews I went there.This is not a fancy resturant but it's a fresh fish market that serves fresh caught fish.The resturant was clean and had about 10 tables. The menu offered a variety of fish dishes. We ordered corn fritters as a appetizer and they where sweet and well prepared. My wife has the fish and chips and she got 2 very large cod filets , I had the fried scallops and they were fresh and prepared perfectly.For dessert we had a fresh cannoli.I highly recommend giving this place a try.PS they have weekly specials during the week
Amazing is an understatement! Food was fresh. Portions were perfect. Each dish we tried had a unique bold taste yet seemed simple. Perfect comfort food. We were so busy enjoying it we didn’t take pictures lol
So thrilled Mom found this place. Oysters ice cold, plump, fresh and delicious. They are my fav. Moms crab cakes are amazing. (2) large crab cakes. Seafood salad very lite and fresh. Staff and Chef Dave went over and above to Mk us feel at home. Our first time there and we’ll be back.
Food is delicious! Huge portions and amazing & friendly owners. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back. See you soon!!
