Decided to stay local this year for crabs (annual trek to Maryland was just not in the cards). The Bull on the Barn was just the location to make our crew feel like we were transported to another time and place. The kitsch on the walls and ceiling and even in the yard surrounding the restaurant made us feel like we had just come in from the Delaware Bay. The crew shucked the oysters for us (sweet, meaty) cleaned the crabs and seasoned them with garlic and parmesan cheese (a Jersey thing). BYOB– no problem: a few brews from Tonewood and Cape May Brewing did the trick. Check them out before the season ends.

They were out of crabs & jalapeño poppers when we came but probably wouldn’t have gotten anyway. We got the peel your own shrimp which had good seasoning, mostly on the shell but could still taste some; scallops with good flavor but a little too much cook on the bottom from the glaze; clams casino which were my husband’s & he enjoyed. The atmosphere is really cute & set up like a little fishing village. The back porch door needs a spring bc 2 young boys kept going in & out & the door loudly slammed each time which was hugely annoying. Finally the parents told them not to slam it but of course once in a while they did. They need to spray for carpenter bees, they were swarming outside the porch & around the bathroom, lots of them. No bar, soft drinks only which was ok for me, others would’ve liked a beer. I thought about trying the fried clam strips but was afraid they’d be overfried, dry like some places make them, but the lady near us had them & they looked good & she said they tasted good.

Definitely not pup-friendly, but this out-of-the-way crab shack sports a beautiful view, a screened-in porch for dining, and a number of crab dishes, from soups to pastas to buckets of crustaceans.

A unique experience and good food! Service was good, portions are small but the price is right and the taste is excellent. I will be back again soon to try some other things.

I’ve been living in south jersey my whole life and restaurants like Bull on the Barn definitely make our little rural area into something special!

Did not get garlic bread that was ordered. Potatoes were small but were not charged for them. I really wish at least 1 side would come with platter. But otherwise nice experience for the 1st time there.

Most delicious seafood that I have ever had! The place was so delightfully decorated. I just love this small off the beaten path place. Something very special about it. One of those places that you never forget.

A very unique dining experience in a small country town in the middle of nowhere. Very casual. Best scallops I ever had. Very busy so service was a bit delayed.

Busy night with one waitress for 9 tables. The food and view made it worth the wait.
