The Original French Fried Lobster

What started as just a counter and a few tables has grown into a place where generations come together to celebrate summer at the Jersey Shore! Famous for the Original French Fried Lobster and award winning chowder, Howard's has been serving Long Beach Island visitors and locals since 1950! Staying true to our family roots while keeping up with culinary trends. Fresh seafood and harbor side dining go hand in hand when you’re at the Jersey Shore.

At Howard’s, we combine our love of seafood with a charming ambiance to make for a delicious and memorable dining experience.

After a long day at the beach, come by, relax, and enjoy the longstanding tradition of Howard’s Restaurant.

Just Beneath the Surface

Episode 1 turns the spotlight on toothy critters, those misunderstood creatures of our waters as well as a look at some of the signature dishes of LBI. In this, one of our most exciting episodes to date, we meet up with Greg Cunik of Fisherman’s Headquarters and Darren Dorris of LBI Shark Experience to talk about the sharks that share our waters. They’re fascinating animals for sure, but they’re not hunting people. And you’ll be surprised to learn just how close we get.

We also get invited into the kitchens of a few of LBI’s best eateries to learn the stories behind the traditional favorite French Fried Lobster at Howard’s and the delicious Tuna Cracker at Parker’s Garage. These are the amazing dishes that people think about all winter long and can’t wait to return to LBI for a taste.
