Bird and Betty's

Taylor was our server and she did an excellent job. She knew the menu well and accommodated my request for a part of my meal. Why only three stars? The restaurant needs a good scrubbing. Menus were gross, floor was gross, I didn't even go in the bathroom.... The views are great. But the prices were hardly worth it. I must say the scallops dish was definitely delicious. No follow up in how's your meal by anyone! Server takes your order, food runner brings it. Server brings you your check. Again Taylor was super sweet, but a green server.

Bird & Betty’s – Long Beach Island, NJ During a recent visit to Long Beach Island, my girlfriend’s brother treated us to dinner at Bird & Betty’s. His top recommendation was the meatball appetizer—and it did not disappoint. The dish featured a few generously sized meatballs served in a rich, meaty ragu sauce. While the meatballs themselves were excellent, the addition of two pieces of garlic bread elevated the experience. It was clear they knew exactly what they were doing—giving you just enough bread to savor every drop of that sauce. We also tried the mozzarella appetizer, which was unlike any presentation I’ve seen before. Rather than traditional sticks or balls, it was a single, approximately five-inch-wide circle of fried mozzarella topped with sautéed onions, peppers, and tomatoes.

Sitting on the 2nd floor deck over looking the bay with my husbands family and pizza chef PETE! Old fashion is great made by Luke! Our waiter Kyle was attentive and sweet. We ordered several pizzas, arugula, pepperoni, BUT the clam was AMAZING with that little BAM 💥 of lemon zest! What a nice place to hang!

Bird & Betty’s has a great vibe—lively atmosphere, solid cocktails, and a menu that hits the spot after a beach day. The seafood is fresh and the décor has that perfect retro-coastal charm. That said, the service could use some tightening up. Staff were friendly but a bit slow and scattered during our visit. Still worth checking out, especially if you’re in no rush and want to soak in the scene.

Our food was slightly above fair. We shared the clams and butter, octopus, and ceviche and crab cakes. The octopus was not worth the price nor was the presentation. The clams and ceviche were good. The crab cake was a bit soggy. Drinks were good. Service was above par and atmosphere was stellar. Amazing sunset. We probably would revisit.
