Seafood is, and always has been our specialty, which makes our menu philosophy very simple:

We serve the best seafood money can buy.

 
 

Jack Baker’s Lobster Shanty is located in the heart of downtown, smack on the shores of the Toms River. The Lobster Shanty is a busy place - the restaurant hangout to many of the local professional businesspeople who live and work in Toms River as well as to hose who are just longing for some soul-satisfying seafood while sitting on the shores of the river. We have been here for many years and take great satisfaction in consistently offering seafood that is fresh and delicious. We pair our ocean offerings with the vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices that make our creations not only irresistible, but also unique.

When you come to the Lobster Shanty, you come to a place of long tradition. The original owner and founder, Jack Baker, was a fisherman himself, along with his father. Many a day and night did they fish off the chilly waters of the Atlantic, hauling and cleaning their catch to sell to those men and women anxious to get a taste of fresh and nutritious seafood. So, if you’re hankering for some lovely, plump, grilled sea scallops or a fillet of tender flounder with a sweet-spicy salsa, you might find it here. After all, we are “the place seafood lovers made famous.”
