Barnegat Oyster Collective - Review - Barnegat - Jersey Shore - The Infatuation

"For fresh oysters, it doesn’t get better than the BYOB seasonal raw bar and dining outpost at Barnegat Oyster Collective. The group of independent oyster farmers based along the Barnegat Bay and the surrounding waters largely sell to restaurants and retailers, but at the Collective’s retail shop, the shellfish comes directly from the bay to your plate. Place your order at the window and they’ll do the shucking for you—two bucks for a local oyster ($3 for the out of state varieties, but why order those when the Jersey options are this good?). Beyond bivalves, the menu changes but might include Italian-style swordfish sausage, sauteed garlic clams, or crab cakes. Snag one of the dockside picnic tables and tip back a dozen paired with a bottle of white. FYI: the closest liquor store is Meyer’s, less than two miles away. photo credit: Emily Schindler photo credit: Emily Schindler photo credit: Emily Schindler photo credit: Emily Schindler Pause Unmute" - Regan Stephens

On Mondays oysters are a " buck a shuck." They had seven different kinds of oysters you can pick and choose. It's BYOB. You sit outside on the bay and eat at a picknick table. Heaven on a beautiful evening

My wife and I visited this gem on our vacation. We didn't know it was a BYOB establishment, but they had us covered with a nice wine selection. We ordered a dozen raw oysters, fluke ceviche, and the Mexican shrimp cocktail. Everything ordered off the menu was incredible. The Mexican shrimp cocktail was a very thoughtful dish that brought together a great mix of flavors. The outdoor seating is set right on the water where the boats bring their haul in daily. It created an awesome experience. We would recommend this to any seafood lover.

Some of the freshest oysters you can get. Everything is really tasty and the atmosphere is cozy. Their set up is much better than it was last year- you can now sit and have service to your table. Great casual spot for very high quality dishes.

Great location overlooking Barnegat Bay. The people running the restaurant were very welcoming and friendly. Oysters were fantastic. They do have a small wine list from a vineyard in Warren County

We are in Barnegat for the week. We decided to give this place a try. The beet salad was so good I would have savorored every last lick if appropriate. Beet Godess! The wine was very good although young exceptionally tasty and perfect for our Tuna. Sincerely a pile of lip smacking, melt in your mouth compilation of flavors. Simply a must try if you are a dedicated foodie! Be prepared to enjoy the youth of the wait staff. Kudos to them for truly being the guy that fished the fish and waited the table. Thank you for a truly enjoyable experience!

Dont go here hungry. Nothing on the table to start, Food (tasting plates)is excellent,however it’s not a place to really EAT. The plates are at best ,just a taste. Pricing is high,I don’t think they can JUSTIFY with the PORTIONS,They pride themselves on farm fresh ,local ect…The staff was clueless,maybe cause they just reopened? But when someone asks does it come with this or that ,the answers are have to talk to the owner. Very unprepared and unprofessional . we left there still starving,and went home and made Sunday dinner within the hour. We normally don’t eat alot ,but very dissatisfied after paying $100 plus. We actually went next door and purchased 2 dozed clams to cook up with our dinner. To the owner… I was excited to see you take in boats, however I will not be coming back on my boat to dine as it is not worth the trip. You should advertise as a high priced food tasting restaurant .

We had the best night out at yesterday's firepit Friday event. The 5 course dinner was shucked, cooked and served outside on rows of picnic tables right on the bay. The food was outstanding as was the company of the new friends we met at our table and the people working there could not have been more wonderful. Thank you for creating a really wonderful memory and we can't wait for the next one!

Amazing everything. The food, the people, the setting. I would give it more stars if I could!! Such simple dishes that were somehow packed with so much flavor. I can't wait to go back. Truly magical spot

Nice place and very nice people! All is delicious! Forget to take photos. It's quite a bit of pricey for a place like this. Five grilled oysters for $23. Again, nice place and nice people, just because of the price, we will not come back again.

My Sister and Brother in Law live within walking distance to the oyster collective. My nephew surprised us and treated us to lunch by walking g over and bringing back a full range of cooked food and raw shellfish. I didn't get a chance to see the place but it's a seafood shop and a fantastic restaurant. We had raw and baked oysters, they were excellent. Raw and baked clams, several seafood dishes a swordfish taco and a carne asada taco that was fantastic. This place is highly recommended.

The oysters are amazing!!! This is the third time we've been to the Barnegat oyster collective. The first two times we went they had a lot of seafood and lots of oysters. We were very disappointed in the new menu. We really liked the crab cakes and local sea food menu but now the food is not the seafood we were looking for. They have tried to make it very fancy and the simple seafood is gone and the prices are gone. Too fancy and not great. I will continue to buy oysters but not a fan of the menu and the food.

We went by boat the past 2 consecutive weekends . Each time we both got something different and shared. The food is amazing and the setting is unique. Sit outside and enjoy the weather and the food but don't forget to try the oysters. Being BYOB the cost is extremely reasonable. Great find!
