Great experience at BRT. The menu is expansive and was a struggle to decide what to order. Started with the Coconut Shrimp and the BRT IPA which is their own beer. Ultimately decided to go with one of the specials which was a Pastrami Reuben. Everything was great and we will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

We came here for dinner and it was delicious. When the food came out it was hot and fresh. I would recommend the Dragon Wings for an appetizer and the Chocolate Lava cake for dessert. We will definitely be coming back.

The sauteed mushrooms were amazing. It was a little cold since the register was right under our table but the server gave us a wine menu to block it. Apparently it's a common ask.

My husband and I were looking for a cozy spot to have a warm meal and this place really hit the spot. Great food, cozy atmosphere and wonderful service. The food came out fast, hot and delicious. We started off with the calamari. For entrees we got a burger and I chose the shrimp with bucatini (absolutely delicious). We will definitely be back for another date night!

What a find the Bluefish River Tavern is! Wow is all I can say. While visiting the shore for the day we decided to stop here to eat and are so glad we did. Every dish was incredibly well made and tasted delicious! The risotto that came with the scallops was simply amazing. I can highly recommend this place and will be sure to return.

We had a party of 13 adults and 3 kids after a christening. Both brunch and lunch menus were available. Phenomenal service. Delicious food. We got the whole gamut from steak and eggs to lobster omelet to turkey sandwich to Mac and cheese to lobster roll. Kids loved the pizza (grown ups did, too). Drinks were fantastic! Duxbury spritz was a favorite along with the spring sangria. We felt very comfortable, even with 3 noisy toddlers who had to move around a lot during brunch. The experience was beyond what I could have expected for such a large party. Thank you, Tracy, for taking in a group this size and making it work!

We had a large party of 20 for lunch. We reserved ahead and everything was set up perfectly for our large group. The food was exceptional and service was fantastic- particularly for such a big group with several children. Thanks especially to Courtney and the other servers for being so attentive and accommodating to our group. We had a fantastic lunch ( experience) and highly, highly recommend.
