We celebrated a fantastic Mother's Day last year at Howards! The BYOB made it more affordable, and the seafood as great! more

I've been coming to the Island for years, since I was a kid with my family. I remember when this place was called Howard's Takeout, and don't have any bad memories of that. However, I went there with my family recently and was quite disappointed. The food was mediocre, prices high, and service not great. There are many place to... more

After waiting for 40 minutes for a table, the service was slow and added another 15 minutes to our wait, making it almost an hour before we ordered. The food was very average, and in most cases unremarkable. The atmosphere was a promise of better things, but it went unfulfilled. more

The owner of this restaurant is also the hostess. She is so snotty and unfriendly. She acts like she's doing you a favor for spending big $$$ in her restaurant. Food is very over priced. Will never go back. more

One of the better restaurants on Long Beach Island. It's been around a long time, a bit of an institution. Always crowded during the season, arrive early or come late, unless you want a long wait. Broiled scallops were excellent with a generous portion. BYO wine is nice to avoid the typical huge restaurant markups and bring exactly what you... more

You must get the fried lobster. It is really delicious. This is a byob place, so bring your favorite wine. While the food here is on the plainer side, it is consistently quality. Their desserts are rather bland and uneventful. I'd head to the skipper dipper or rita's for that. more

We went to Howard's and will never return again. The food was average (and would have probably rated 3 stars). We probably would have given it a second try. Unfortunately, my daughter got violently ill in the evening after eating the chicken there and vomitted all over her bed. I had to help her calm down and get back to... more

We have never eaten at Howards before, but recently gave it a try. Granted, it was loud and crowded (too much so for really nice dining), but all told it was quite good, and made even better because it is a BYOB place (with a liquor store conveniently located right across the street.) We found the crab cakes to be... more

Howard's is THE ABSOLUTE BEST restaurant in LBI. Their seafood dishes are quite exceptional, as well as their turf dishes. Salads and fresh baked rolls are incredible. We have been going to LBI every August for 25 years and we never miss Howard's! more

Went to Howards last weekend to take my brother in law for his 60th birthday. He was dying to get the french fried lobster which is their speciality. I would of preferred mudd city off rte 72 but it was his birthday so off 5 family members went. One good point is that if you get in before 5:45 pm... more
