Reviews for The Boatyard in Manahawkin, NJ
First time visiting on a Friday night. Met some friends for happy hour. Such a cute place. Who doesn't like to see an amazing... sunset!! (Pictures not edited at all, from my android phone)! I always heard about it and finally saw for myself. Although thatnight it was mostly vacationers, it wasn't real crowded. We did eat the tacos, which weren't the best, but they were ok, littlepricey too. Overall can't wait to go for happy hour again! Read more
Don?t get me wrong, the place has a fantastic view. It?s pretty cool how the place has cornhole and connect 4. However, the... drinks and prices are a disappoint. I ordered the $14 boatyard breeze which is honestly just an excuse to charge double for apina colada. I then wanted a non alcoholic drink so I decided to get a lemonade. It was canned. Some drinks on the menu do saycanned. None of the non alcoholic drinks did. I could get the same lemonade at a wawa or quick check for half the price. Theview is gorgeous but everything else not so much. Won?t come back. Read more
Great place to go and drink if you like beer. If you don?t, it?s not worth it. Beer costs about $7-8 a drink. The food is over... priced and not worth it. Scene is fun and there is a lot of things todo, but plan ahead or you?ll pay $17 for 4 tenders andfries Read more
Good beer and lots of variety. Food was more like an appetizer than a meal. Mahi sandwich was good but the portion was small.... Cheese fries were cold before I got to my table. Corn was delicious. Read more
Consistently a great choice every time. Good people, great food and drinks. Service is top knotch - WORD; of advice: a little... bug spray goes a long way - your welcome. Fun for dates or time out with family. Read more
Great atmosphere with a cool outdoor, family-oriented atmosphere. There are basketball courts for kids while the parents hangout... and have fun. There are two area, essentially food trucks, that supply seafood and american food. Read more
I can not say enough good things about this place. It is a one-of-a-kind on LBI (not really on the island but you need to drive... past it to get onto the island). It reaches across all demographics and welcomes everyone. If you are old, cool! It's easy toget in and out of. If you are young, there are lots of young people hanging out and having fun. If you have kids, great! Plenty for them to do (corn hole/basketball/sit on the docks/eat etc). If you have dogs, bring them along. Its a pet friendlyplace. The food is great and while I am not a drinker, I am told the selection of beer/drinks is good (everything is in a canso keep that in mind). The other asset they have is the most amazing staff. Everyone is friendly/accommodating and just plainhappy to be working there. A HUGE SHOUT OUT to the manager, Cayenne, who went ABOVE AND BEYOND for me recently. I left mypurse there by accident and not only did she track me down, but she returned the purse to me and in it were things that wereabsolutely invaluable to me. So, take it from me--this place should be TOP ON YOUR LIST of places to visit forlunch/dinner/cocktails or just plain people watching. Thank you to the development team for bringing such a gorgeousestablishment to our Island! Read more
Great spot right on the water with food and drinks. The prices are very reasonable and everything is good for an outdoor spot... like this. They have some lawn games like cornhole and a small kid play area off to the side. Tented seating is near the bar butthey also have outdoor tables all around. Food is served from essentially food trucks and is either American, Seafood orDesert. I had the lobster roll which is a good size for the price they charge and was very good. The chicken tenders leftsomething to be desired. Beer and full service drinks are also priced well and they have a ton of beers on tap. Biggestcomplaint is there is an Anti-Bird call that plays all the time at a super high pitch. Anyone with half decent hearing willnotice it and let me tell you its annoying as heck. Read more
