Black Whale Bar & Fish House Beach Haven Reviews
The food was amazing and the service was wonderful.
Can't wait to go back again. I think the best restaurant on Long Beach Island.

We ate here for dinner last week when we were down the shore. I had the Fried Seafood Combination which was Fried lobster tail, filet of flounder, shrimp & scallops. It also came with a house salad. They have two homemade dressings there that are
Had the best steamers here the other night.
They gave me a ton since the steamers were small, which I happen to love. They were tender and juicy and satisfying. Service was also great. We had a reservation for the next evening but they accommodated us since the "no reservation restaurant&
Excellent!!
What an amazing dinner!!! Our food was excellent!! We had shrimp bisque, the crab cake and the lobster pot. We had Jess R as our waitress and she was FANTASTIC! She was so personable, patient and her recommendations were spot on!! Would definitely co
This apparently the most popular restaurant in Beach Haven
This apparently the most popular restaurant in Beach Haven and getting in without a reservation is not easy. We were fortunate that the owners of the B&B we stayed at have an in with the restaurant. This is a family friendly restaurant so if you

Best salad dressing- ever!?! The food is reliably wonderful, fresh and delicious. Our family of 4 has enjoyed coming every year- and even though we had to get online at midnight 3 weeks before we came to LBI to get a reservation, it's all worth

Outstanding food, reasonable prices and a seasoned staff that are amazing. This is my go-to restaurant when I visit the beautiful Long Beach Island!

There was a couple things that need to be worked on for one the wait was beyond ridiculous, we waited almost 2 hours for a table and then another 45 minutes for any food. The fat lady up front always said something different which didn't help. T
Nice upscale restaurant when you want a great meal
The casual vibe is great for families and the food is outstanding. The best meal we had in LBI - surf & turf, halibut, broiled flounder and fried clams. The family style house salad and dressings is really good, as is the rice and beans side. Wo
The popular local bar and place to be.
Some of th bet and freshest seafood restaurants on LBI. Service is excellent. Reserve your spot at the Black whale and enjoy!

My issue with this establishment has to do with a private event I booked. While the food and servers at the event were very good, the event coordinator Linda, was not. She was the opposite of accomodating. I booked the event there because it has a pr
As a home owner on the island this place has awesome food.
Even teh salad with teh two dressings they have is amazing and I am not a salad guy. Make a reservation and you will be satisfied for sure.
Sea Bass here has always been excellent but that was taken
Sea Bass here has always been excellent but that was taken off the menu for some reason. We ordered the Halibut and were truly surprised how poorly prepared this $40 dish was...the fish had been cooked to death and had almost no sauce and didn't

Go here for the ranch salad dressing and take some home to go! This was our first time trying this restaurant without our kids eating with us. My sons refuse to return here but we went late and sat outside, and we had a fantastic and delightful waite
Rude Hostess ruined my experience
To start, our food was very good and our waitress was incredible! However, their hostess could help make the experience a bit more pleasant. I went to lunch with my husband and 2 year old. When making the reservation he accidentally only put for 2 pe
Fun and friendly
This place is always busy. The food is good although not great. Service was excellent. The halibut was very good, the fried shrimp had too much breading on them. The mussels were delicious but way too large a portion. The broiled scallops were al
Summer Sizzle
The summer heat on Long Beach Island was relentless – hot, humid, and utterly stifling. Seeking a cool reprieve and a delicious lunch, we ventured to the Black Whale Bar & Fish House, nestled at 100 N Pennsylvania Ave in Beach Haven, NJ. Upon e
Happy Hour
Went to happy hour at the Black Whale enjoyed the Black Whale Ale and some of the freshest, flavorable raw oysters I have ever had. A must stop if you are in the area fret service at the bar.
Late dinner in the bar
Went out for a late dinner with my wife in the bar. Food was good but the waitress was assigned to the other side of the restaurant and almost forgot about us.
Even Yogi Berra Would Wait
Always a wonderful experience at the BW. I realize they're known for their seafood, but their off-season pork chop is amazing, served in a cream sauce with gnocchi. As for the poor reviews some have written, most were about the noise, wait tim
Crab cakes USED to be awesome. WAY TOO EXPENSIVE.
I have been going to the Black Whale for many, many years. It USED TO BE amazing!!! PAST TENSE. The bar is very loud. And the restaurant has no sound dampening, so it is painfully noisy. The service is fine; very harried and rushed, but fine. The a
Still one of the best Happy Hours on LBI !
We have been going to the Black Whale for years, sorry I waited so long to update and re-confirm their excellent effort to ensure a high quality experience. The drinks are very reasonably priced and the Happy Hour food menu offers a wide choice of o
Not worth the hype.
Service was okay, not very welcoming or friendly to guests. Despite the waitress noting that a meal would be okay for a certain diet, it turned out not to be. Food was standard. There was little to no crab in the crab soup. Atmosphere was loud and cr

Absolutely unremarkable meal for it an incredibly inflated price. The halibut special that I ordered was completely overcooked and dried to the bone and served over a bed of pasta, which look like it was covered with Ragu sauce. Crabcakes were mostly
Such a smooth night having dinner with our group of 16.
We sat quickly, then had very easy flow of ordering, bringing drinks, then apps, and finally main meals...super efficient. In addition, the menu is expansive and reasonable and everyone spoke highly of the food. So all in all a good experience espe

The service was great! The food is delicious! The salad dressings are absolutely amazing! The ambiance could use some improvement. I do recommend this restaurant!
The Black Whale is THE place in LBI
The Black Whale has never disappointed us. We haven’t been back in almost ten years to this great restaurant because when we lived in Philly and spent almost every summer in LBI this was our favorite spot. So when we had the opportunity to be back
Satisfying meal and atmosphere
Usually come here every year. Never disappointed. Food is solid and waiter -Tim was attentive just enough and friendly. Wife had scallops and were excellent. I had crab cakes and although very tasty , they seemed a bit too much breading than lump

We had a fabulous night at the Black Whale! Our group of 5 included Grandmom, parents, and a 2 year old. The staff were very accomodating and gave our 2 year old some stickers for "assisting" the doorman. She was thrilled. The salad an

Follow-up to my review from eight years ago - the food is just as fresh and cooked to perfection and the bartenders are on their game with a full court press to keep their diners happy and the cocktails and beer are poured with love. I could go on a

The food was all amazing. We had reservations based on a friend's recommendation. OMG. It was great. I had items off a seasonal menu. My favorite was the jambalaya. It was awesome. Fresh. Tasty. Could be the best I have had. Loved

THANK YOU BLACK WHALE!! For helping my now fiance host an amazing suprise engagement party last weekend. We had an absolutely amazing afternoon. The upstairs event space was perfect and everyone raved about the mussels afterwards. Looking forward
Went here for the first time for my birthday dinner tonight.
Our waitress Adriana was not personable or attentive. When you see drink glasses that are empty, why wouldn't you ask if you need another drink instead of us asking every time. The atmosphere was so loud and we were not even near the bar. The food w

Been to the Black Whale many times but after tonight I've come to the conclusion that it's not for me. I do like the food but the atmosphere is just too loud and bustling. Very low ceilings and close tables don't help. The salad is standard but the
Food is great! I really like the food here.
The service is good too. Ambiance is good it depends where you are sitting in the room.
Love this place.
Great atmosphere and delicious food. Taylor Swift came here this summer so it has to be good.

I ordered a steamed lobster, which at market price is not cheap, and it was so tough and chewy that it was practically inedible. My baked potato was hard as a rock and they gave me 1 pat of butter and 1 tiny cup of sour cream which wasn't even enough

Great place to eat with the fam and a great bar to socialize if you're alone. Pre-meal salad is fantastic. House jambalaya is a favorite of mine for entrees.
Food good - service stunk!
Food was very good - service and environment - not so much. Walked in on a Friday in October and there were 4 people at the bar, sat down. Bar stool was VERY sticky - tried another stool - still sticky - gave up. Bar itself was sticky too - not a

Amazing dinner at the Black Whale on 9/18/23.
Our server, Ryan was spectacular, pleasant, quick and most accommodating. The food was delicious. We started with the broccoli appetizer which was very creative and tasty. Also had the crab dip. I had the shrimp and scallop Santa Cruz, absolutely del
Dark and Dirty
Dark, dirty, gloomy. Sat next to the lobster tank which was disgusting. Slim all over the glass and lobsters appeared dead. Worst part...the server stands in front of you to pay your bill with an electronic devise and the tip is immediately 20%.

Somehow I made a reservation for the Black Whale in MA, and didn't realize until I checked in at LBI Black Whale. It was insanely busy, and thankfully the hostess, still worked us in. Food was amazing. Thank you so much - she could have easily sen
What a gem! Food was SO delicious.
We had the grilled mahi (bbq and pineapple salsa) and seared halibut with curry (a bit of heat) both with coconut rice. Delicious! Fun ambiance and engaging bartender (we ate at the bar). Great service and attention to detail. Eat here when on LBI!
my friend and I ate here tonight and it was amazing.
The cocktails, the oysters. we had the Tuna and Lump Crab Cakes. just outstanding. A must try on LBI.
Consistently great food!
We've been to the Blake Whale many times and always have had a great meal. The fried oysters, the jambalya and the stuffed clam appetizer wirh the crab meat are some of our favorites. The salad dressings are delicious also. In fact, I purchased their
Best seafood
This is the place to go if you love seafood. Also, we like baked potato with our meal, and most of the seafood restaurants down here do not offer that. They want to give you pasta.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Black Whale Bar & Fish House 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 Black Whale Bar & Fish House 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 Black Whale Bar & Fish House 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 Black Whale Bar & Fish House 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.
