The Best Restaurants On Long Beach Island - Jersey Shore - The Infatuation

"Everyone knows that setting a calendar reminder a few weeks in advance is the only way to get a reservation at Her Place Supper Club in Philly or Carbone in Manhattan, but you should also keep that in mind if you plan on eating at Black Eyed Susan’s in Harvey Cedars. This spot is constantly packed with people celebrating special occasions, like a kid’s completion of freshman year, or an anniversary (while their freshman kid raids their liquor cabinet back at the house). The reason this white-tablecloth restaurant is constantly slammed is the seafood-focused American food, like doughy, charred gnocchi with big chunks of lobster, and jumbo lump crab cakes. On weekends, you'll want a seat outside—they frequently have a live band playing." - alison kessler, regan stephens, matt tervooren, tonya russell
