Parker's Garage & Oyster Saloon Beach Haven Reviews
I don't understand all the great reviews.
The food wasn't very good. Yeah your paying for the view but come on now. It's a BYOB which is nice but overall with their prices and quality - no thanks. We shared the calamari (not good at all - avoid - weird tasting sauce which we had no
You are paying for the view and it is a great view.
The food was not great but the service was good. We started with the calamari and it had a strange taste and nobody liked it. We also had the brussels sprouts and asparagus they were good. A few of us had the salmon and it was good. My mom had the f

I don't have enough time to share how much I enjoyed my time at Parker's Garage. Was able to grab a table for 10 on the Saturday of LDW at 7pm which made for a front row seat of a beautiful sunset. Our server, Nick, was absolutely incredi
Ordered the $58 lobster dish.
Very small portion. Odd green sauce on it. The potatoes were the best part of this dish. Ordered scallops and again, small portion. The artichoke appetizer was not as anticipated. Underwhelmed. Our server literally never smiled. She was going throug
A big meh.
Decided to give Parker's a try for a nice seafood dinner during our week in LBI. It was disappointing. The food was mediocre, the prices high, and the atmosphere was loud. Only a few menu items featured local seafood.

We spend most of the summer in LBI and have for years, considered Parker's to be our special dinner place. The food has always been consistently good and creative and a good price point . This year we were very disappointed with our entire meal.
Everything was delicious, service is excellent and ambiance
Everything was delicious, service is excellent and ambiance is beautiful. Definitely going back
Place is beautiful, menu seems great however orders a surf
Place is beautiful, menu seems great however orders a surf & turf ... someone must have ate my lobster before it made its way to my table. Portions very small, I kindly asked my waiter for some extra bread and he told me "I'm sorry I ca
At the Jersey Shore, I expect high prices, mediocre service
At the Jersey Shore, I expect high prices, mediocre service and good, sometimes even great, food. Unfortunately, while the prices and service were as expected, the food at Parker's wasn't just gross, it made everyone in our party feel bad.
An exceptional meal on LBI! Marinated mussels on grilled
An exceptional meal on LBI! Marinated mussels on grilled sourdough bread. Dipping good! Broiled local flounder. Perfectly cooked - they nailed it Fresh Jersey tomatoes - diced with fresh croutons to soak up the juices and olive oil - delicious.
I've given this place way to many chances.
It's a simple no for me. As someone who lives here 6 months out of the year it's disappointing. Maybe my home chefy skills have me more inclined to eat at my backyard dining table. My steak was good the other night but for $58 it should be.
I wanted to love this place because I used to love the
I wanted to love this place because I used to love the place before this was Parker's. I am also not one to complain about food or service but this place has a high price without anything to justify it and people should know about it. Where do I
Excellent meal / amazing sunset
We had a great meal. Memorial Day weekend. It was super busy but the staff was great. It is very noisy but we expected that. Beautiful sunset. My husband had the oysters which were very good. I had the clam toast which was amazing. Then my husband
Unique Wedding Venue
My wife and I attended a wedding reception at Parker's Garage. Parker's is a restaurant and catering venue on Long Beach Island. It is located on the water affording great views and beautiful sunsets. A cocktail hour included a raw bar w
Bad Experience.
I bought the Surf and Turf. The lobster was cut in half (as advertised) but I got only about 6 bits out of this. No butter. I used the leftover butter from my bread to put on it. I got this meal 2 or 3 years ago and Parkers Garage was my new favorit
A Special Treat!
We ran in on a whim and were greeted with a warm welcome. We ordered a bunch of small plates and they were all delicious- the artichoke were cooked in a lovely sauce, the calamari were fried in a light, spicy sauce and the grilled shrimp had a terri
High prices, poor food!
I have tried Parker’s Garage twice and been disappointed twice. The first time which was a couple of years ago, four of five of us were underwhelmed with the food particularly given the price. This year we tried it again since there was no line and
Amazing mea!
We had the top tier tasting menu (105$ per person) and it was the most amazing meal ever! Just bring a bottle of wine- our fav were the tuna crackers and scallop fish- everything was so tasty!
Tried it one time and will not be back!
This restaurant is located in a fabulous area on the bay in Beach Haven, NJ. A wonderful setting with a view of boats and water. However, that is where it stops. You are reminded that your reservation ends 90 minutes after you are seated & there
"Great meal...did you say something?"
My girlfriend and I had dinner with another couple Saturday July 29th. Great food, great view, very good service, but I wish I could say great conversation, but it was so loud it gave me a headache. Keep in mind this is ala carte, so if you're hung
Great spot and a lovely bay atmosphere near the marina
Great spot and a lovely bay atmosphere near the marina. The staff was incredible. No luck getting a reservation last minute, but we snuck in early with a small party. Big parties celebrating something should reserve well in advance. All the fish was
Great food and service in a hot, crowded and loud setting
We were a party of four and went for dinner with a reservation at 5:15, booked a week and a half in advance, because all later reservations were taken. Book early! The only parking nearby was paid parking, at $10. It was a hot day and and it was ver
Great night out with family
Great food!! A top notch place and great sunset view. The service was impeccable. Will definitely come back again. Also, a bonus it was a BYOB, which is rare these days!
Most Creative Food on LBI
We were here twice in the last six weeks. Food is well prepared and offers the most creative menu on LBI. If you want seafood prepared in a way not offered in most other restaurants on the Island you will want to try Parker’s Garage. Not only is
Tuna crackers remain a highlight
Location is perfect, although the night we went it was rainy and cold so I never took my jacket off the entire dinner. Service by Doug was wonderful. The tuna crackers are worth coming for, if nothing else. They are truly spectacular. Rest of our
Great location, great views.
You must get a reservation (they use resy) to sit in the main area otherwise the walk in wait times are pretty long (2 hours for a party of 2 on a Monday night in August). Reservations and between 630-800 are ever more difficult because the main are

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Parker's Garage & Oyster Saloon Beach Haven at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Parker's Garage & Oyster Saloon Beach Haven page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Parker's Garage & Oyster Saloon Beach Haven to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Parker's Garage & Oyster Saloon Beach Haven!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
