Restaurant Review
Red's Lobster Pot is the place to come if you are looking for fresh, locally caught, creatively prepared lobster dishes with a New England dockside, casual ambiance.
They offer a good variety of fresh lobster and seafood caught locally, prepared with pasta and vegetables. Lobsters are locally sourced, daily from nearby Lobster men.
Their daily specials are a bit more ambitious and pricey, but well worth the additional cost to appreciate their creative dishes not other wise found in other Jersey Shore restaurants.
They have an outside raw bar with tables overlooking the water where you can watch the boats come from a days fishing in to dock.
The dock side menu consists of more casual fare, like peel-and-each shrimp, clams (roasted or half shell), oysters, steamers, mussels, lobster, and a delicious lobster roll. It's counter service, so you order, grab seat at one of the many picnic tables, and wait for your name to be called.
Unless the restaurant is empty, which is very unlikely, do not expect to be seated promptly if you have a party of more than four.
Open for lunch and dinner from the end of April to mid-October. closed on Tuesdays
