Reviews for Monte's Fish Fry & Seafood Market in Toms River, NJ

I stopped in today after my daughters soccer game with a friend and his daughter. Everything we ordered was so good. The quality... and the portions were amazing. It?s a small family owned business. They were very friendly and appreciative. If you?re a seafoodlover like us, you will love this place as much as we did. We?ll definitely be back. Read more

Definitely a hidden gem! Ever since I went to Maine last summer, I've been searching for a lobster roll locally in NJ that... tastes as good and I think I've finally found it. Wish I had snapped a picture of it before I gobbled it up. The bun wastoasted perfectly with just the right amount of butter and the lobster meat was fresh with huge pieces included. The fries andcoleslaw the came with it were yummy as well. The lobster roll was much better tasting, bigger quantities of meat, anddefinitely better priced than any of the other spots I've checked out including Spike's, Shore Fresh, Red's, etc. I don't everwrite reviews and would definitely come back just for the lobster roll, but I wanted to take the time to shout out the staff andowners for their service. We recently went to Monte's to celebrate my godmother's birthday and not only was all the seafooddelicious and cooked to perfection (I hate when people overcook tuna bites, shrimp, etc.), but the staff was friendly andsuper-thoughtful! They gave my godmother a birthday appetizer on the house with huge shrimp (not those lame small ones). When Iasked for an extra bowl so my young boys could split a chowder, the waitress kindly accommodated and more than split the soupfor the two of them. When it was time to sing and have cake, we didn't realize they were closing at 7:00 PM, but they didn'trush us out at all. We will certainly be coming back and I hope others support this local business! Read more

My husband had the shrimp po boy with the old bay fries I had the captains platter with cod. The platter came with a generous... portion of cod, shrimp and scallops, for sides I had the roasted potatoes and green beans. The shrimp po boy had plenty ofshrimp and the roll was crusty on the outside and soft inside, perfectly done! The old bay fries were very good, not dry. Thecaptains dinner was perfection, cod was battered and flaky not overdone, the shrimp were very good but the scallops wereamazing! The green beans were delicious not hard at all. The roasted potatoes were the little yellow golden potatoes and wereseasoned just right. Only downsize I could find if I had to was the tartar sauce they were out of any extra. I whipped some upquickly at home so really not an issue. Pricing was fair, definitely coming back soon!! Read more

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 Montemeal and was only able to finish half. Read more

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 willnot 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- overand over again. And next time we?re bringing the son and daughter-in-law. Thank you Monte?s Fish Fry. Oh and did I mentionthe fried flounder. The serving looked like it could have been the whole fish! Oh and I suggest that you wear comfortableclothes. You?ll want some extra room at the waist. ???? Read more

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. Weordered corn fritters as a appetizer and they where sweet and well prepared. My wife has the fish and chips and she got 2 verylarge cod filets , I had the fried scallops and they were fresh and prepared perfectly. For dessert we had a fresh cannoli. Ihighly recommend giving this place a try. PS they have weekly specials during the week Read more

Very delicious food! Got a little packed when we got there so service was a little slower than expected, but completely... understandable. Definitely recommend this place. The lobster Mac and cheese was amazing and the oysters were very fresh. Read more
