Jakeabob's Bay: Reviews & Ratings
Food was delish. Summer vibe was on point. Our server Nick was all that! Wednesday night 1/2 price house wine & sangria. Yum. You cannot see the ocean from here BUT beach is a hop away for an after dinner beach walk
10/10 would recommend to anyone vacationing near the Keansburg or Union beaches! We dined for dinner, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The restaurant is right next to the beach, so the outdoor seating was great! Staff and service were both phenomenal. The food and drinks? Incredible! If we are ever in the area again, we will 100% be going back
First time here and great experience! Outdoor dining only. Food is unbelievably fresh and tasty! The porta potties are upgraded bathrooms and surprisingly clean. Off street parking but not bad. Outdoor patio is going to be extended over the dunes for 2025. Can't wait to go back next summer!
Relaxed outdoor dining at it's finest. My first time and what an amazing experience! The vibe is totally vacay with lots of flowers and plants and calming blue decor. And the food! Plenty of selections all beautifully presented. We loved the Seafood Saute with fresh chunks perfectly cooked. Drunken Shrimp and Clams was our favorite, just WOW! Blueberry Ribs were so tender and juicy. Chicken Parm Lollipops were a hit, so delish. The JakeaBob Burger is a must, along with the Crab Cake Sandwich, both soooo yummy. Enjoy all these fabulous choices with the oh so popular Sun Cruiser Bucket, or any of the well crafted drinks. Save some room as the owner makes the most phenomenal Key Lime Pie! The staff were all so sweet and attentive. So go and enjoy this Jersey Shore jewel and vacay for a day!
Great place to visit and have lunch or dinner. Our server, James, was super nice and accommodating even in the 90 degree heat!! Our food (shrimp wedge salad, veggie tacos) were tasty and we were able to nab a table at the end of the pier with the amazing views. I highly recommend this place.
Just love this place, music all the time, bands they have here are fantastic. They have a bar side and a sit down restaurant side. Right over the water. Waitress was fantastic food was amazing, i had the crab cake (#31) best I've had! Drinks were amazing!
This place has it all! Unique dishes that are quite delicious. Certainly an awesome atmosphere with live music on the bay. Our waitress was very attentive. Appetizers came up quick dinner was served soon after you got to check this place out crazy it's only my first time here. The sangria was good!
I just found out about this place from my buddy. I went there for a late lunch. The place wasn’t so crowded. It was pretty subdued. I would bet the place gets hopping around the dinner hour when the live music starts. Weather permitting, this is an outrageously awesome spot. Directly on the water. Completely outside. Friendly and perfect service. No complaints on the food or drinks. I had ribs (enough for two people easily), couldn’t finish them, brought them home. My wife had chicken, a little different but absolutely delicious. I was told they have live music seven nights a week. We are looking forward to returning for the music and dinner very soon.
