Flocking To Smitty’s

Posted by Foobooz on August 12th, 2009

Adam Erace heads to Smitty’s in Somers Point as much the experience as the food.

Sure, you can put your name in with the hostess for a table in the charmingly shabby dining room, but the bay breeze, harbor view and setting sun on your back is only available outside. First, claim your stool by sitting directly behind it in one of the rickety wooden benches that flank the bar. When the diner on the stool in front of you leaves, that spot is yours-unless of course another patient saint was there before you, and then you must defer.

    life is always good at the clam bar….when i was younger, my friends and i used to go to smitty’s for grilled sticky buns for breakfast and then back again for the clam chowder as often as we could. i will always love that place, sticky plastic seats and all.

    I have been going to Smitty’s for over 20 years…it is a classic jersey shore spot. no pretense, BYO, good food, nothing mind blowing, at good prices.

    I just wish people would stop writing about it. in 20 years I’ve seen the wait for tables go from 20 minutes to easily over 2 hours.

    soooo…..shhhhhh
