The Terrace Tavern is fantastic! Great staff, great service & even better food. The fried pickle chips are great, the surf and turf is so delicious it melts in your mouth. Kids meal are served in cute cafeteria style trays. We recommend it to everyone we know!
The TT (as we call it) is our absolute go to place whenever we are on the island!
Just some "food for thought" for the new ownership- The new menu could be more visually appealing and taking away that great menu page with all the steam pots (except 3), may do you a disservice. Those steam pots are what put the the Terrace/Crab Shack on the map. And the She Crab soup is gone- was my hubby's favorite 😲
I also agree with the last reviewer that it's always freezing inside!
Otherwise, best drinks, great food and entertainment. The Wait Staff are experienced and very accommodating. If you are looking for a place to hang your hat for the night go here! Dinner or just drinks and a one man band-you will love it.
The crab bisque soup is delicious and so are the crabcakes! However, in my opinion I would serve the crabcake dinner with a vegetable and potato of some sort! The coleslaw is fresh & delicious but the serving is so tiny! I would definitely recommend giving a more generous portion of coleslaw. Overall everything was yummy!
I have been going there for at least 25 years. I have seen a lot of changes but the food and drinks never disappoint. My favorite item on the menu which has not changed (except for the price) are their classic wings with the special trrrace tavern sauce. That sauce is made there and cannot be beat by any other restaurant.
My favorite lobster roll! New updated look inside. Super friendly staff and Andy rocked the bar! Excellent craft beers on tap with a good appetizer list for Happy Hour!
First time we were there was this past Saturday the food was great, atmosphere was great & our waiter Dan was awesome!! We will most definitely be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner tonight. We loved our lobster roll and the steamer buckets were awesome! Our waiter Drew was friendly, attentive and made sure we were all happy customers! Some of the entrees were a little pricey, but they were delish!!! �

We had a great meal. Our only complaint was the AC was on so high it was freezing in there! The crab bisque was fantastic. The lobster roll was also really good!

I came in yesterday and had Kelsey as my waitress, couldn't have had a better night!! She was awesome and the food was amazing!
King Crab was excellent! Everyone is friendly and our waitress was great! A++
Terrace is our favorite place on the island! We have been going for years and the awesome bartenders always remember us. It's such a fun atmosphere and the food and drinks are great!
Amazing food. TT Steam pot and fried green tomatoes were awesome. Great service. Great location.
Every LBI trip should include dinner at the Terrace Tavern. It never disappoints. Try the King Pot!
Awesome renovation, such a great vibe and staff, perfect beach tavern!
Love the improvements and new menu. Staff was great on a very busy weekend!
Great food! Awesome service, reasonable price. Definitely will be back when I be on the island!
A great place!!! Wish you all the best, Mike and Toby!!!
Food was great! Kelcie was a great waitress!!
Eating out with food allergies is never easy but Drew was a rock star - he made sure there was no cross contamination and I had some great crab legs! Everyone's meals were awesome so we'll continue to come back year after year as we have for too many to count :)
Wowzer! Great dinner at the TT, the bang bang calamari ,street corn as apps were amazing. Not to mention a bloody Mary fit for a king! Yummy. Combined with great service made for an awesome night out with the family.�
These are the best steamed clams I’ve ever had. So garlicky and delicious. The peel and eat shrimp was great too
I was getting cravings last night for their key lime pie. It's one of the best, if not the best, that I've had. We live local and happened upon this place because we were on our way to a comedy show.
I was happy we did because the food was great. We had the fish sandwich, (haddock) crab cakes, and steak bites. The food was exceptionally fresh and good. You know when you take a good piece of fish and cook it correctly. The crab cakes, with more crab than breading and also cooked the way it should be, are not overdone.
The people were nice we didn't wait long and the only reason I give it 4 stars is it's more of a pub than a restaurant. Other than that, it's 5 stars. It is on my list of places to go back to, and I think i have to go back because the key lime pie is calling me.
I just don't get why anyone would give this place any one star. The food alone did not deserve it.
I have visited The Terrace Tavern occasionally for decades, but this was my first visit to the outdoor Backyard Bar. Service was a bit spotty and could have been a bit more attentive, but what was lacking in attentiveness was definitely made-up for in seemingly genuine friendliness. A good time was had imbibing adult beverages, enjoying tasty and very reasonably priced happy food and listening to live music. It was an enjoyable visit.
Great happy hour, $1 wings, $3 domestic beers. The bar tenders were great! Very friendly, punctual and attentive. The wings were ok...id recommend requesting they be fried hard. The bathrooms were fairly small considering the size of the place. I'd think on a busy weekend night...there would be lines to use the head. The bar is fairly standard. No jukebox or darts, but its still nice. The new outdoor dining area is very nice! Its almost like a separate place. Well definitely go back. They sell t shirts too. I bought the one that actually says Long Beach Island NJ on it. The newest design doesnt include that detail.
Great service and love the live out door music. Food was excellent! Highly recommend
Very good place. Steamed clams were yummy. Burger was average. Fried calamari was average. Atmosphere was fun. Menu options good. Surprisingly good selection of wines by the glass and bottle. I would definitely stop by again. A bit more pricey than I expected having eaten out of a cardboard box. Kid friendly in the indoor section.
Overall a good experience. We were outside for dinner. Completely shaded and felt cool especially with the heat we were having. Waitress was very attentive to our needs. Very happy they had the Downeast cider, one of my favorites. Food was good but we felt it was overpriced. Over 300 for party of 8 with two kids ordering kid meals and one two people splitting a meal.
Absolutely loved this place. It was our first time here and I took my son who is 13 years old. I ordered the steam pot not realizing just how much seafood it would come with. But it was a good thing that I did. He ordered bacon wrapped scallops but did not realize that they had what appeared to be caviar on top. But my son is always up for an adventure and to try new things. Unfortunately whatever it was was a fail. The "caviar" had an apple cider taste and it was very overpowering for him, even when I tried it I had to agree that it was a bit much. But the steampunk was so good and we were able to share that. And the scallops were cooked perfectly just unfortunately the taste of the flavoring they used was a bit much. Regardless I would still go back without question.
Cozy restaurant in the LBI area. Outdoor seating is very spacious.
Terrace Tavern served me the BEST king crab I have ate to date. It was very tender and sweet. My wife and I enjoy the King Pot, crab cakes, and shrimp tempura. Very delicious.
If dinning here you should come early and anticipate a wait. In particular for outdoor seating. My wife and I have arrived at 6:35pm and waited about 50 minutes to be sat down. On a Tuesday. Restaurant doesn’t not do reservations.
My girlfriend and I took our pup to the Backyard yesterday. The music was great, all the staff were so nice and loved our pup as well. The food was absolutely delicious. Loved the backyard. Great set up and a fun laid back atmosphere!
Great shore bar and restuarant. Excellent service, great bartenders and a changing menu with the season. All at a very good price. Good music on weekends. Closed for season.
We had a good time. Food was good.
Always an enjoyable meal at Terrace Tavern during our annual trips to LBI. Friendly service.
I am allergic to shellfish so I stick to fish and chips, fish tacos or their Jersey Cuban (with both roast pork and pulled pork! 😋) but everyone else raves about their chowder/crab/clam dishes.
We always go to Terrace Tavern on our first night at LBI. I typically get the broiled seafood but was bummed to see it off the menu due to food costs. The baked tile fish was a nice replacement though. Broccolini was great too. Service was quick and the food hot. Big portions for kids and Crab legs were great.
Growing up on the Island it's always nice to stop and a familiar place and experience the changes. We sat outside in the fenced area under an umbrella. The drinks and food were great, but the gnats were out and a little bothersome. I felt like I needed to run home for a citronella candle. Otherwise, it was a good experience. The burgers and seafood were yummy, although my boyfriend felt the shrimp were frozen and thawed to the steam pot. He commented that they did not have ant flavor, but the mussels were delicious. Some of the best he's ever had!
Arrived on LBI around 7:30pm was tired but Terrace Tavern was opened. We ate outside and food was excellent. Will go back definitely.
