Black Whale Bar & Fish House

One of the nicer restaurants on the LBI, but with a pretty high price vs food quality (although service was friendly, casual, and enjoyable). Crab Cake sandwich ($19) was the better value here, and recommended. Crab Cake was moist, tasty, and had more 🦀 than 🍞. Skip the Oysters Rockefeller, it was just too runny and lacking flavor. Ventured into a special tonight, the "Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers" because, why not! Unfortunately, while they were unique, they just lacked flavor and had a strange mouth feel. I think if they continue to work on and tweak this recipe, they'll eventually make it a great and memorable menu mainstay. Overall, a better restaurant for the shore, but expect lower taste and a lighter wallet. 2 entrees with 1 app and 2 drinks = $75

It's always a good feeling with the atmosphere @ Black Whale. The staff and service are professional and attentive. All of the food on the menu is of good quality and great taste. You'll find good musicians here.

Service and food were great! We did make a reservation for 4, so it wasn't too busy when we arrived. We were seated shortly after arriving a little early for our reservation. It was a lot busier when we left. I ordered the crab clusters and husband got the surf and turf (porterhouse with lobster tail).

Great place! However it was an hour wait! So we left. But we have been here before and will be back! Great Food! Great service!

LONG wait for mediocre seafood. The bacon wrapped scallops and clams special were very good, but, besides that, save some time and money and go to Beach Haven Fishery instead.
