The Boatyard - MANAHAWKIN

I can not say enough good things about this place. It is a one-of-a-kind on LBI (not really on the island but you need to drive past it to get onto the island). It reaches across all demographics and welcomes everyone. If you are old, cool! It's easy to get in and out of. If you are young, there are lots of young people hanging out and having fun. If you have kids, great! Plenty for them to do (corn hole/basketball/sit on the docks/eat etc). If you have dogs, bring them along. Its a pet friendly place. The food is great and while I am not a drinker, I am told the selection of beer/drinks is good (everything is in a can so keep that in mind). The other asset they have is the most amazing staff. Everyone is friendly/accommodating and just plain happy to be working there. A HUGE SHOUT OUT to the manager, Cayenne, who went ABOVE AND BEYOND for me recently. I left my purse there by accident and not only did she track me down, but she returned the purse to me and in it were things that were absolutely invaluable to me. So, take it from me--this place should be TOP ON YOUR LIST of places to visit for lunch/dinner/cocktails or just plain people watching. Thank you to the development team for bringing such a gorgeous establishment to our Island!

Great atmosphere with a cool outdoor, family-oriented atmosphere. There are basketball courts for kids while the parents hangout and have fun. There are two area, essentially food trucks, that supply seafood and american food.

Consistently a great choice every time. Good people, great food and drinks. Service is top knotch WORD; of advice: a little bug spray goes a long way your welcome. Fun for dates or time out with family.

Good beer and lots of variety. Food was more like an appetizer than a meal. Mahi sandwich was good but the portion was small. Cheese fries were cold before I got to my table. Corn was delicious.

Great place to go and drink if you like beer. If you don?t, it?s not worth it. Beer costs about $7-8 a drink. The food is over priced and not worth it. Scene is fun and there is a lot of things todo, but plan ahead or you?ll pay $17 for 4 tenders and fries
