"Old Causeway isn’t technically on LBI, but before you insult our geography skills, know that we already heard it all in sixth-grade homeroom, and it still belongs on this guide. Not only is it the last turn before the bridge, but they also have a private shuttle that you can call to take you to and from the island. As the name suggests, there are steaks and oysters on the menu, and while you won’t be upset ordering either here, our favorite thing to get at dinner is the karate-chop pork chop doused in a pineapple-soy glaze. You could also just come for Happy Hour from 3-6pm, have a few drinks at the bar, and eat some spice-rubbed wings and jersey devils, which, for the uninitiated, are deviled eggs topped with fried oysters." - alison kessler, regan stephens, matt tervooren, tonya russell

"Live music on the weekends is the time to go to Old Causeway (1201 East Bay Ave.) — named for the bridge it sits next to — but it gets packed, so go early for dinner and then head to the bar. Oysters and beef are coupled here in wood-fired steaks and burgers topped with fried bivalves, but the rest of the extensive menu is filled with American classics and lots of seafood. It’s always a good time, which the owners are well aware of — if diners drink too much, they can always hop on the restaurant-provided shuttle home." - Stefanie Tuder

❤️ Overview: I went here with my parents for dinner. When we showed up around 7pm, they said the wait to be seated was an hour but the high tops were first come first serve, and luckily we were able to get a high top. There was a band playing, which was nice BUT it was super loud. So if you don’t want loud music right in your face the whole time you’re eating, I would wait for a table! Overall the food was good! I was definitely surprised. My parents say they like this place so I trusted them! Hahaha. ❤️What was ordered: Salmon and farrow, farrow salad, and burger with fried oysters ❤️Stand outs: Salmon and farrow (it was the meal I ordered) ❤️Would I come back/recommend: Yes - I would come back Yes - I would recommend

The food here is very fresh and tasteful. It been around for years. I recommend the mac and cheese with the lobster 🦞 grilled cheese. It’s out of this world! The honey bbq wings are delicious. Don’t forget that giant pretzel 🥨 with the cheese dipping sauce. Also finish it all out with dessert, their shareable size . Our Server was Samantha, she was amazing , very friendly and attentive. I would recommend asking for her. She made the experience very welcoming and her menu recommendations were on point.

I stopped here on my way back from the shore late night and was honestly blown away by the food! I had the mussels which was cooked perfectly, but THE Shrimp and grits with the pepper jack cheese, and chunks of andouille sausage, peppers, and tomatoes served with a side of fried green tomatoes was deliciousssss, with the creamy creole sauce on top. I was literally dancing eating my food it was so good. Not to mention the live band set the atmosphere and the service was on point. The bartender made my tequila sunrise with love 🥰 I will be back for sure. 🤩

We tried the crab cakes, crab claws, lobster tails, and sandwiches and many more at this restaurant, and everything was delicious. Each visit has been a delight, making this spot a must-try. We keep coming back for the consistently great food and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Just finished my third visit to this LBI area local favorite and we were not dissappointed. This is a wonderful tavern, steakhouse, seafood, oyster bar and almost anything else in between type of restaurant. It has an amazing menu that is well put together, with wide variety, and includes daily food and oyster specials. Every day they have great oyster specials and their soups and chowders are top notch. I have mainly come here for their steaks which I believe are the best in the area, but their sandwiches, appetizers and salads have all been fantastic. The steaks are nice size, juicy and tender, they come with a choice of sauces and I enjoyed their chimichurri. Sides are ala cart but, their homemade fries and mash potatoes were perfect additions. Leave room for dessert because this has some wonderful choices, try the ones with the locally made ice cream. Service is friendly and professional and this place is always crowded, I don’t how you get in here in the summer.

I recently dined at The Old Causeway Steak & Oyster house it was casual yet high-quality steakhouse that exceeded my expectations. The inviting atmosphere seamlessly blended with a top-notch dining experience. The star of the show was undoubtedly the perfectly cooked steak and lobster, showcasing the establishment’s commitment to quality. Beyond the food, the vibrant bar scene added an extra layer of enjoyment, and the live music enhanced the overall ambiance. This steakhouse strikes the ideal balance between casual dining and culinary excellence, making it a standout choice for those seeking a memorable and relaxed evening out in LBI
