Bait Box Restaurant: Charming Waterfront Dining with Fresh Seafood & Live Music in Greenwich, NJ

Came to this spot with our family. It’s a cute restaurant nestled in the middle of no where. Lots of boats and a brand new bar. We opted to sit inside due to weather and it was fairly empty. Server was nice and friendly and quickly sat us and provided drinks. Overall it was a fun experience with great atmosphere. We split a chicken sandwich and bait box salad. The sandwich was yummy with a nice thin piece of chicken. The salad was delicious with fresh pecans and blue cheese crumbles. Skip wings get boom boom shrimp if you’re looking at apps. Overall decent food and good experience. Some dishes seemed expensive.

Great atmosphere if you're in the area, of course it's kind of off the beaten path. The people here are great and the server was to. If you're looking for some good food we had the jerk chicken and the Smashburger and both were great. Interesting thing about the burger is that they don't temp it they serve it one way. They had live music going which is always a plus! Definitely check this place out.

Great time at the Bait Box! We sat outside under the Pavillion and had a great meal. I got the briskit nachos and my wife got the summer berry salad. Both were very good. I dont like berries and i actually liked hers..lol I had a mermaid drink from the bar and it was great. Very tropical. Live music was playing and made for a great atmosphere. Also know that this is a DOG FRIENDLY establishment. I wish i knew cuz i definitely would have brought him with us! When the mosquitoes came out, after dark they came around with citronella candles and offers of free bug spray if you wanted it. The wait staff was phenomenal and very very attentive. Overall a 5* experience! Highly recommended!

I came for crab cakes but the shrimp tacos stole my heart. We arrived at sunset after a quiet drive through the swamp to the buzz of a band playing live music and orange hues lighting up the docks through our car windows. As soon as we open the car doors, we realized that the buzz was in fact human-eating flies likely evolved after decades of living too close to the nuclear plant. After battling said gnats while my toddler lost her shoes on the way in, we were beyond starving and carrying the battle scars of carnivorous flies. Thankfully, the friendly atmosphere and aromas satiated our nerves long enough to browse the tasteful menu. After tasting the menu, even my one year old thought everything was delectable! The tacos were definitely top-notch and win for culinary creativity, the crabby fries were actually quite amicable when eaten, and their succulent flavor was a gracious compliment to any entree. The pizza was satisfactory and the Alfredo and palatable although it lacked in the waves of flavor that the other dishes possessed. This is definitely a gem of south Jersey and well worth the drive..... possibly even worth risking life and limb through the gauntlet of gnats.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. The dinner crowd had not arrived yet so we were able to get seated right away. Our server was very polite and let us know about the daily specials. We ordered our drinks and they were promptly delivered. Our server took our orders and they were out in no time at all. My wife had seafood scampi that was loaded with clams,mussels and shrimp. I had a crab cake cheese steak. The crab cake was humongous and about 99% crabmeat. It came with fries and a side serving of Old Bay remoulade. Everything was excellent. I'm we decided to stop in. We don't get down this way too often, but it's definitely worth the trip. Beautiful scenery and views of the Cohansey River just outside the windows. There is also a separate outdoor bar. .

Can't rave about this place enough. I sailed and traveled from NC to ME this summer, having crab cakes everywhere I stepped ashore or stopped, and the crab cakes at Bait Box are reliably amongst the best, beating even the "world famous" crab cakes in Annapolis, MD. I've had BB's crab cakes three times now, along with their delicious hush puppies. The salmon is just as good, with fresh veggies and smashed potatoes that left me contemplating ordering a second plate to take back to the boat for the next day. The atmosphere is fun without being obnoxiously loud, and on nice evenings it's great to be by the river to enjoy a drink or meal outdoors.
