Black Eyed Susans Tavern & Restaurant

Where To Eat Down The Shore: Long Beach Island - New York - 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 it in mind if you plan on eating at Black Eyed Susan’s in Harvey Cedars. This BYOB 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 a big portion of shrimp and grits." - Matt Tervooren, Tonya Russell
