The Spectacular Seafood Restaurant In New Jersey Hiding In The Middle Of A Wildlife Refuge

New Jersey has some pretty amazing seafood spots, some are even right on the water. However, we only have a handful of restaurants that you can boat right up to and grab a meal. This iconic seafood restaurant in Leeds Point is one, and it shouldn’t be missed.

Oyster Creek Inn is located in the marshes of Otter Pond, off Oyster Creek and the Great Bay.

The Inn is a restaurant and bar, surrounded by a small fishing village. It's around 2 miles from a main road.

Oyster Creek is surrounded by protected lands, so you'll see plenty of wildlife - especially birds.

Since it's miles from civilization, the views seem to go on forever. This is what you'll see from the deck.

The deck is a great place to grab a drink and watch the sun set but it's also a wonderful spot to hang out all day.

The atmosphere is fantastic and this is the perfect place to just relax.

The mouthwatering seafood is just a bonus!

They offer a full menu with shrimp, salad, lobster and even stuffed chicken.

They also have a seasonal crab room (open now) with live music on Friday nights and a sushi bar.

If you're not looking for a full meal, grab a drink at the boat bar (made from a real boat) or get one of their delicious desserts.

A local favorite for decades, this restaurant has won awards for its outdoor dining scene, crab cakes, clam bar and more.

It has also been featured on Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.” You can find Oyster Creek Inn at 41 Oyster Creek Road, Leeds Point. They are open daily for dinner and also offer lunch from Friday-Sunday. For more secluded restaurants in New Jersey, check out this eatery in the woods.
