Howard's Seafood Restaurant

Howard’s Seafood Restaurant is a casual Long Beach choice for classic Jersey Shore seafood. Choose it if the goal is a direct shore-style meal built around the restaurant’s signatures: Original French Fried Lobster and award winning chowder.

For a first-timer, the appeal is practical rather than performative. The information points to a classic seafood restaurant at about $75 per person, with casual dress and a menu identity anchored by familiar Jersey Shore seafood. That makes the decision simple: go when the group wants seafood classics in Long Beach.

Go for the fried lobster and chowder

The order should start with the Original French Fried Lobster if the point of the meal is to understand the restaurant’s signature appeal. The other clear anchor is the award winning chowder, which gives the menu a second specific reason to visit beyond generic seafood-house territory.

Once the timing is set, the restaurant makes the most sense for a casual seafood meal centered on its strengths.

The room works for casual shore occasions, with limits

Match is strongest for diners who want classic Jersey Shore seafood in a casual setting. The facts point to seafood, casual dress, and a $75 per-person price point; details outside that should be checked with the restaurant before booking or traveling.

Value depends on ordering with the restaurant’s strengths in mind. At the listed $75 per-person level, the case is strongest when the table centers the meal on the Original French Fried Lobster and award winning chowder. Casual dress fits the setting.
