We were walking to the boardwalk and we saw PJ Buckets and decided to stop in and eat there. It was very clean, nice atmosphere, and our server Adam was friendly and great at explaining the different flavors of the various seafood boils. My wife had the New England lobster boil and I had the Jersey lobster boil. Both were delicious and huge portions. It was nice that they had a sink in the back of the restaurant to wash up after munching out on the lobster. We will definitely return again.

What a fantastic experience! Lobster Bisque was amazing! Lobster tail was the dinner of choice and it was fantastic! Very busy and our food server was fantastic and accommodating and kept us informed about the status of food order! Would absolutely recommend to anyone

Double Maryland boil was huge, more than enough for four hungry people. Great place. Will come again

Such a delicious Seafood Spot that shouldn’t be missed. Competitively priced. Mostly “takeout” for the seafood lover, and maybe not too used to Eat-in diners, but their service was quite nice. It could use some more “Ambiance”, and not look so cold, however the overall experience was just what we needed.

Looked good from the outside. Menu looked great! We were one of only 3 tables in the restaurant and yet we waited about 80 minutes for our meal. After about 45 minutes in, our waiter told us he was sorry for the wait and the food was coming soon. After another 20 mins, I told the waiter we were leaving, but he begged us to stay saying our food was just about ready. I left my family to walk to get cash at an atm which I was planning to leave on the table so we could walk out. When I got back food was finally on the table. And after all that I can honestly say the food tasted bad. The shrimp and corn soup was overly seasoned. The gumbo was unappealing looking and bland. The cornbread was bland and more like cake. The lobster boil was also not enjoyable, my family left hungry. Huge disappointment!! Don’t waste your time or money.

We were not overly impressed, the food was good but not for the price we paid. I guess I was expecting more quantity or quality.

Food was amazing. We got the lobster bisque and lobster Mac and cheese. Both were out of this world. Tonight I showed up at 8:40 (20 minutes before closing) to grab some food to bring home. I was told the kitchen was closed. Maybe just update your hours to reflect when you shut down the boiler.

This is a fabulous little seafood place a couple blocks off the boardwalk! We wanted to find a dog friendly seafood place, and PJ Buckets delivered! The service was so friendly and speedy. We got the Maryland boil, lobster bisque (highly recommend!!) and clam strips. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. And the prices are so reasonable—the 2 of us ate for less than $60. There is ample seating outside and in the shade for an early dinner. The server was so kind to bring our dog water and even offered to bring her food. The clam strips and out-of-this world cornbread were her fave! We will certainly be making PJ’s our new tradition when we’re in Ocean City!
