Red's Lobster Pot Restaurant

After a day of accidentally swallowing too much salt water, you’ll likely be craving oysters, clams, maybe some lobster for good measure, and a plastic bib. Red’s in Point Pleasant is one of the best places in the area to get all of these things. This super-popular dockside seafood shack offers raw seafood, fried fish, sandwiches, lobster mac and cheese, seafood pastas, and whatever got pulled out of the local waters that morning.

Where: Tucked next to the inlet that connects the Manasquan River with the Atlantic Ocean, seasonal Red’s Lobster Pot (57 Inlet Dr.) in Point Pleasant Beach is high on atmosphere—you can order from the counter outside, grab a table on the deck, and BYOB to go casual, or sip your own drinks as you wait for one of the 12 tables indoors—and locally obtained grub, where seafood and produce (when possible) are concerned. The owners, a local lobstering family, take pride in knowing the sources of their seafood, and it shows on their menu. You can generally count on the lobsters, scallops, clams, and oysters to be from NJ (and often from Point Pleasant-based boats), as well as any flounder, weakfish, monkfish, and bluefish that turn up.

After an epic dive trip leading to one of Bill Cleary’s many deep-water certifications, Bill’s instructor Bob Wilson suggested they celebrate at Red’s. Bill fell in love with the bucolic new England style of the place and of course the fresh seafood. In 2014 after years of negotiating and other successful restaurant ventures, Bill and his partner Marisa Tanner bought Red’s.

My favorite place on the entire shore is Red’s Lobster Pot at 57 Inlet Drive. It is actually one of my favorite restaurant in the US. They have a large outdoor patio for casual dining and a very small 12 table indoor dining room that is really charming.
