Where To Find The Best Lobster Roll In New Jersey

We’ve got miles and miles of shoreline in New Jersey, so it feels like malpractice if you don’t take advantage of it.

Especially in the summertime. The local seafood is great and feels like it goes underappreciated. Not all states can have that same-day-caught seafood that we can have.

I went to Point Lobster Company last week. It’s one of my favorite seafood spots down the shore. They’re located in Point Pleasant.

I got a warm lobster roll and lobster bisque. Both were out of this world good. Obviously, with lobster in their name, you would hope it’s good, and boy, it was.

I went to this place out of recommendation from a coworker last year, and it was so good that I made sure to go again this year.

The lobster roll is the best summer meal in New Jersey. If you’ve never had one, you’re missing out.

I had one for the first time when I was 19. A buddy of mine from college was returning home from a trip to Maine, and they brought me one home.

I’m not sure how, but after that long car ride back, the lobster roll was still as good as ever.

I knew then that I was hooked. They’re on the pricier side, as lobster is pricey in general. But if you see it on the menu somewhere, especially down the shore, you can’t pass up getting one.

Get it with some fries and coleslaw on the side, and it's chef's kiss. The best summer meal you’ll find anywhere in New Jersey.

An amazing NJ restaurant in a historic building

If you've never been to Lambertville, you're really missing out on a true gem of a town in New Jersey.

And if you've never been to Lambertville Station you're missing out on a really great restaurant in a truly historic building.

It's housed in the building that acted as the Lambertville train station dating back to 1867.

The building and the town went through its tough times, but for the last 40 years, Lambertville Station has been serving diners in a casual upscale atmosphere with excellent food.

Last year a prominent restaurant group called Genesis Hospitality took over the historic dining spot and they've continued the excellence that has made this place a must-go-to spot anytime you're in town.

The menu consists of varied contemporary American favorites with plenty of options.

The food and the service are excellent and are a good fit for couples, families, and special occasions.

There is a first-class Inn on the property on the river across the parking lot if you want to stay over.
