What a great lunch we had at Joy and Salt Café in Ship Bottom, LBI. The food was fantastic and Jimi (owner) was so kind and so funny. We will definitely be back to try lots of other options that were on the menu. There’s a big parking lot behind the restaurant. If you haven’t been there yet, give it a try!!! A++++

Joy and Salt has been on our list to visit since they opened and after reading many great reviews. Well.., They did Not disappoint!!! We had the Frutti de Mar seafood in a pesto sauce with fresh pasta - perfectly done. The Berkshire pork chop with apple glaze lived up to its billing. Started with an excellent beet salad. Great experience…The chef and team have a lot of prior experience chefing on the island, including the way-back original Black Eyed Susan’s. They are keepers!❤️

Food is excellent! Our server was amazing! Had the Clam Corn chowder which was absolutely delicious, followed up by seared scallops and topped off with the warm apple crisp. Perfection in every bite! Super friendly servers and chef Jimmi. Will be back!

Grilled chicken sandwich with Calabrian chili sauce from Joy of Salt. Normally I am not a huge chicken fan, but this chicken was very tender and deliciously charred. Simple, high quality ingredients. Best hot coffee too.

★★★★★ 5.0 Casey Deacon · Feb 2026

Absolutely love Joy and Salt! The vodka penne is incredible, best in our area same with the chicken parm. Don’t miss out on the calamari, the Calabrian chili sauce is next level and the calamari is cooked perfect, we get it every time. If you are lucky enough to have the Italian seafood salad on special order it. It is like the epitome of an authentic Italian 7 fishes dish for Christmas Eve any time of year! The daily specials are consistently creative and delicious, which keeps us coming back to try something new. Great vibe, great service, amazing food.
