The Shrimp Box is a beloved Point Pleasant spot, offering fantastic waterfront views, fresh, locally sourced seafood, and a wallet-friendly experience.

During the warmer months, they open the Outside The Box Patio Bar, the perfect spot to soak up the classic Jersey Shore vibe. With outdoor dining on the deck, you’ll enjoy stunning riverfront views and a lively atmosphere, complete with a bar. It’s one of the best places in Point Pleasant to catch a sunset—arrive before dusk to enjoy drinks and dinner, watch boats glide by, and take in the view as the sun sets.

While the seafood is fresh and locally caught, the menu sticks to the classic Jersey Shore tradition, featuring simple, delicious, fried seafood dishes.

For those arriving by boat, the Shrimp Box offers 300 feet of dock space, so you can dock and dine with ease.

Be prepared for long waits during the summer months—arriving early will help you avoid the crowds and find easier parking.

The Shrimp Box is open daily for lunch and dinner and is a family-friendly destination with a great kids' menu.
