This restaurant is Italian with real "little Italy" flavor to it. It appears small from the outside but has a number of interconnecting rooms . It has a large menu with all the traditional Italian dishes, submarine sandwiches and a variety of pastas. An extensive pizza menu makes it a popular family restaurant.
This fine Italian restaurant has added sushi, steak, burgers, salad bar and more in the form of Jimmy C's sports bar. A beautifully appointed pub style sports bar has good food and of course the obligatory flat screen TVs all over the place. (Strange that they're not open on Sunday when all the sports events occur.)
Lobster Shanty
4 Robbins Pkwy
Jack Baker's Lobster Shanty is part of a small chain of restaurants that started here in New Jersey. The Baker family started with their first restaurant in Point Pleasant New Jersey more years ago then I care to remember. This moderately priced restaurant is very beautiful inside, with its dark wood paneling and large windows overlooking the Toms River. The restaurant has a dining alfresco deck. It's a pleasure to sit there on a warm summer evening and watch the boats coming back to the dock at the end of the day. It of course, as the name implies, serves lobster and has a large Early Bird Special Menu. It has a full bar.

It is a beautiful restaurant in a shopping center, just off Route 70. The staff is very efficient service is excellent. The place is warm, comfortable, and inviting inside, committed to quality and excellence on every level. They call this ambiance "polished casual.”
The Corn Chowder with Lump Crab is a hearty soup delicately spiced. The signature appetizer, Bang Bang Shrimp is wonderful, and almost a meal in itself.
