Bull On the Barn Bayshore Crab House

"Had some fantastic seafood(stuffed flounder) and Lobster bisque. Very good. We sat outside, has a great atmosphere. Service was outstanding."

"Decided to stay local this year for crabs (annual trek to Maryland was just not in the cards). The Bull on the Barn was just the location to make our crew feel like we were transported to another time and place. The kitsch on the walls and ceiling and even in the yard surrounding the restaurant made us feel like we had just come in from the Delaware Bay. The crew shucked the oysters for us (sweet, meaty) cleaned the crabs and seasoned them with garlic and parmesan cheese (a Jersey thing). BYOB-- no problem: a few brews from Tonewood and Cape May Brewing did the trick. Check them out before the season ends."

"Definitely not pup-friendly, but this out-of-the-way crab shack sports a beautiful view, a screened-in porch for dining, and a number of crab dishes, from soups to pastas to buckets of crustaceans."

"I’ve been living in south jersey my whole life and restaurants like Bull on the Barn definitely make our little rural area into something special! Bull on the barn is located In Lawrence. A middle of the nowhere type of town that is near the bay. Since being near the water, the air is still breezy and cool even on the really hot days. This adds to the restaurants very unique atmosphere and makes it a very comforting place to be at. It’s very BYOB in a very good way. You enter and you can pick a seat at whatever is open. Every table, seat or booth is different and only adds character(I wonder if there is seating up those steps). Only adds more reason to come back again and again. Treat yourself and bring your favorite beer and enjoy some of the finest seafood in the area! Atmosphere aside, how is their food? Simply put, it’s some of the best seafood I’ve ever had. Chain restaurants can’t compete and after eating here you may finding yourself questioning that fancy seafood restaurant you frequent, asking yourself “how come they never taste this good?” For starters my table got the fried clam strips, oysters Rockefeller, and clams casino. I grew up a very picky eater, who spent time over the last years trying new things. These mussels were a very delicious and rewarding experience(I forgot to take pictures, guess I have to go back and take some. Oh well). For my entree I got the fried flounder with French fries on the side, classic fish and chips. My lovely date got linguine in crab sauce. That fish changed my life and paired with their tar tar sauce, it will be hard not making this a Sunday routine. The pasta dish was very flavorful, the linguine was cooked to Al dente perfection and the lump crab meat was very fresh. I can’t wait to go back and I can’t wait to show my friends and family! I was also reading negative comments regarding the service. My personal opinion is that I’m grateful for places like Bull on the Barn to still existed after the pandemic. Through economic uncertainties and peoples lives being thrown around these past few years I really don’t care if my drink comes a little late or if the kitchen gets busy. The quality of food and attitude from the workers there will keep me coming back for years. Small businesses like these are what make America so great to begin with and it’s important we support them. Thank you Bull on the Barn for the very pleasant experience. I will be back!"
