Hi. Marisa, My wife and I were at Red's Lobster Pot today for lunch. I had the Steamers and the fresh fish sandwich. My wife had fish and chips. Of course the Steamers were the best and the fish sandwich was also very good. The fish and chips was also such a large portion my wife had to take half of it home. I was at PT at RWJ this morning and 2 of the therapist also eat at Red'. Service was very good and sitting outside is wonderful. The place is so clean. Jeff

10/10 dining experience. It is no longer BYOB, but their cocktails are delicious. All of the food was fresh and amazing. Definitely the best seafood around. Outdoor seating was very nice on the water. Servers were attentive.

Welcoming front of house, great I mean really great service inside. The food was amazing. My husband and I shared the coconut shrimp (which were huge). We both had the "Daily catch" which was Halibut. I have mine broiled his was blackened. Both were equally good. I had broccoli he had sautéed spinach both amazing prepared. I had rice (a little over spiced) he had the mash potatoes (excellent). The asked use right away if we wanted bread which is a surprise these days. We also ordered a nice bottle of Stags leap Chardonnay which we didn't finish. Our waitress (Cathrine) put it in a clear bag with the receipt for transport. I have also had the lobster many times , a great deal and very good every time.

Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 3/5 With a bar/outdoor seating view overlooking the water and an air conditioned inside seating area if you're so inclined, Red's is a good option for a sit-down restaurant at the shore. Although we got there really early (around 4:30), it was already packed. We had to sit inside, which was a bit cramped but also nice and cool. I got the fish of the day, which was cooked well, although the rice it came with was really bland (and I saved my calories by not eating all of it). That said, the fish was bursting with flavor and expertly cooked. My kids got salmon and fish and chips and both of those were even better. The salmon flaked apart and had a perfectly balanced lemon sauce that added just enough acidity but avoided being too sour. The batter covering the fish (of fish and chips) was really good (clearly made onsite) and the fries remained nice and crispy (I bemoan soggy fries that often accompany this meal). My wife got the risotto - a tough thing to cook right - and was very pleased with it. The waiter was also really nice and engaging, helping a long wait for the food fly by. My other relatives got shellfish (which I don't eat), but I'd note it was a good price and they were very happy with their meals too. This is definitely a place I'd visit if you venture off the boardwalk.

As a lifelong New Jersey resident I am sorry I've only discovered this place recently. The food and service is excellent. I had the seafood burrito and it was prepared perfectly. My girlfriend had the crabcake sandwich and absolutely loved it (she can be picky sometimes). I recommend Red's Lobster Pot and can't wait to visit again!

Red's has now added a bar outside and is no longer a BYOB establishment. Right on the water very quaint. As far as the food goes they are hitting it out of the park with their seafood and pasta dishes. Just take a look at my photos attached, simply mouth watering. Dinner now includes the price of alcohol which drives the overall price up for sure but worth the price of entry for a relaxing seafood dinner on the Jersey shore..

Love this place and it got even better! They added a full bar and even more outdoor seating. This place has the best local seafood and specials. The flat iron steak and bacon wrapped scallops was amazing!

First trip to Reds, and won't be the last. Nice waterfront seating with roll up plastic windows which were needed when big storm came in. My wife's flounder francaise was excellent, and my stuffed flounder was great, too. Firm, fresh filets with delicious rice pilaf. However, broccoli was steamed with raw garlic that was a bit biting... though was al dente. Both entrees were delivered hot to the table. The bread to start the meal, curiously, was kinda stale; unfortunate, bc we wanted to dip into the delicious francaise sauce. Our server was efficient but not overly friendly, unlike every other employee that we encountered. Overall, a great restaurant meal for us.

This place was great! We called ahead to see if it was BYOB (which it was but they also have sangria and some wines available). The guy we spoke to knew we didn't have a reservation and added us to the list knowing we'd be there in 15 minutes which was so greatly appreciated. We got seated out on the terrace and had a view of the water, all the tables outside have umbrellas making it such a nice night. We ordered the cornbread special which was good, I wish it was warm and came with a side of butter but I would get it again. I got the warm lobster roll and it was stuffed with lobster gotta give this 10/10. I will definitely be back.
