Parker’s Garage – Long Beach Island

Parker’s Garage

Parker’s Garage is hands down the best restaurant in LBI. Not only does it have the best food, but it also has the best view. Getting a table here right on the water at sunset is not an easy task and takes a lot of luck. Luckily, they do take reservations, but you have to make them 1-2 months in advance. I have gotten lucky a time or two walking in for a “first come first serve” table, but that usually comes with a two hour wait. All this being said, I understand why it is this way. All the food is made to be shared (family style). They put a twist on comfort classics such as: lobster corn dogs, clam chowder croquettes, and fried chicken with corn bread. And to top it all off, it is BYOB so you don’t have to worry about spending a ton on your bar bill.
