Pj Buckets - Ventnor City

We placed a delivery order and were looking forward to some good seafood.To our dismay the food was burnt. the clam strips were mostly burnt. The flounder platter contained 2 pcs unseasoned flounder that was burnt and dry. The lobster bisque was not good either. The mussels came with no sauce it was dry and was the most edible.Very disappointed. will never order from here again.

Like the title implies Seafood Buckets/Platters. The food is great the service is always good , it’s a small casual dining atmosphere. If your craving Seafood this is your spot.

Homestyle shore seafood. Great time, great evening, great place.PJs is not large, maybe a dozen seats inside with 6 tables outside, so a reservation is advised. They have plans to expand to over 100 seats just down the block shortly.The experience is like going to a friend's shore home and your friend has several great seafood boil recipies.Service was very friendly and enthusiastic, including PJ himself. Friendly vibe with the customers too, we met another couple outside, started talking and shared a table with some BYOB. Highly recommend and we will return to see PJ and the Buckets crew.

My wife and I have been here a few times. It is usually pretty good, and the service is always fantastic.However this last time, my Italian Boil was underwhelming. First, the shrimp and lobster were very undercooked… my boil came out almost 10 full minutes before my wife’s. They re-heated the undercooked food without any issue and even threw in extra mussels, but it shouldn’t have come out that undercooked.Also, the Italian boil is advertised as a “flavorful italian gravy”, and containing sausage. There was one small knob of sausage (the size of a small meatball) and the “gravy” was unflavored tomato sauce. It tasted like they just dumped sauce out of a can on the seafood with no other preparation. Very sour, no depth, no seasoning, other than the red peoper I requested.It is not an Italian tomato gravy (cooked over multiple hours with meat and herbs and vegetables enhancing the flavor). Additionally, they break-up the pasta before cooking it, so there are no strands of pasta, just chips and pieces of pasta. If you are looking for an italian seafood gravy, this is not it.Finally, they forgot my wife’s lobster tail. They made it, but they served it to her after she had nearly finished her boil and we asked for it.The staff was super nice and apologetic and accommodating. We will be back in the future because the food is good and the service is nice.But stay-away from the Italian Boil if you already have an idea of what it is supposed to be.

If you want authentic southern style seafood boil without traveling to the south this is the spot to go. The food is punched with flavor and you get your moneys worth. As soon as I received my order I had to message mom to let her know “You can take me out of the south, but you can’t take the south out of me. ??”
