Island Beach Fish Company — Restaurant in Berkeley Township

Me and my boyfriend went out to eat here on a Saturday night. It was pretty busy. The hostess said the wait was 25 minutes. We waited at least 40 minutes. After finally being seating we probably waited about 10 minutes for our server to make her way over (understaffed definitely). We then ordered our drinks and food at once to be quicker as we were starving after that long wait and already knew what we wanted due to looking to the menu prior to being seated. She stated that the kitchen was behind so it was good that we were doing so (again, probably understaffed). We got our drinks and appetizers fairly quickly which was really good! We were siked to get the rest of our food. We must've waited like 40 minutes for 2 pizzas. At this point we were fed up. Our waitress came over and told us they had burnt both of our pizzas. She said that they remade them and have already been in the oven for 5 minutes. We were so hungry and have been waiting all night so we said please just bill us for what we got and we're leaving. I do not blame the waitress, it's not her fault. She was very sweet. Not holding her accountable for this. She still got her 20%. We're not rude people. The kitchen staff clearly needs some help or some training because how do you burn two pizzas and why did it take 40 minutes to make 2 pizzas? No wonder why they got burnt! We left hungry and annoyed. Not a great experience and don't know if we would go back honestly. Yes, we could've waited for the second round of pizzas but who even knew how long that would take due to the first ones taking so long and we were starving by then. Tired and starving. We were originally shooting to go to Bum Rogers but they said 45 mins to an hour wait. Honestly could've waited there and still got our food way before we did here. What got me too is that it wasn't even that packed at the tables and most were drinking, not eating. I don't know, just seems like a lot of kids running it and not knowing what they're doing. What we ordered was good though and disappointed we couldn't try the pizza as it sounded really good as well. I give the the food a 5 star because we did have an appetizer, the fries and old bay with honey hot and it was really good. The drinks were...

Disclaimer: I get it that it was end of the season and few items were not on the menu… i also get they were understaffed as a result.

We stopped by for lunch today… they got outdoor patio with tiki bar and live music outside. There was a large group having a party but still plenty of seats outside. Dogs are welcome - besides ours - there were two other families with dogs and everyone got along. There is also an indoor room, but didnt go in since it was warm and we decided to enjoy it outside. Staff was kind and nice and service was quick (once i got their attention).

Menu has a large sushi/roll section as well as some fried seafood options.

Ladies went for clams and oysters…they liked oysters, not so much clams…

Wife ordered their specialty Nightrider roll - was 3 stars at best both taste and freshness… Honestly - you want sushi? Go to a sushi place…

I had soft po boy sandwich. Soft shell crab is the main overfried and too much bread! Eh..

My friend had sausage broccoli sandwich. Same sentiment.

Fish tacos were ok…

I hear pizza was good but we didnt try…. Overall - we left full but likely would not return for food. Maybe for the vibe and...

So we got the pizza which was burnt, really salty and like another review claimed, lacked one of the advertised ingredients. No specials were mentioned until I heard them being offered at a different table by a different server(after we ordered). We also were told that 3 of the items on the menu that we were trying to order were no longer on the menu but they didn’t simply just reprint menus(the waiter said the unavailable food was getting too many complaints so they took these items off the menu). They crossed them out with a marker which was washed off on one menu and no signs of them being crossed out were seen on my menu. A fairly small tropical drink that was suggested was $15 and was mostly random juices and a bit too sweet. Overall the menu is kind of limited, there’s definitely no Chef there to help execute what is available and I’m not sure they can last like that with a single line cook. It is dog friendly but that’s the only draw. No drink menu and the server didn’t seem to know much about what they had. I probably wouldn’t return. There just wasn’t...
