The Local Market & Kitchen
A full coffee menu along with classic café baked goods, sandwiches, & snacks alongside an artisanal market with a patio.
The Old Causeway Steak & Oyster House
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.
Mud City Crab House
Mud City is another spot from the same people as Old Causeway, and since it’s literally next door, you can use the same private shuttle to get to and from either place. The menu is seafood-focused, with things like soft shell crabs, baked clams, and massive crab cakes that are almost entirely made up of crab meat. For those who like to drink, they have a full bar in a converted trailer on the outdoor patio, and for those who like to drink a lot, they fully allow BYOB.
