The historic building was the Acme Hotel in the early part of the 1900s, said to be the oldest tavern on LBI. Bird and Betty Clutter purchased it in 1956 and ran a successful bar. Bird remembers a secret trap door where alcohol was moved in during the Prohibition era. According to local historian, John Lloyd, in the 60s and 70s, it attracted an energized crowd who came for the excitement of LBI nights and live music. Bird and Betty’s at 529 Dock Rd. in Beach Haven is a casual spot with the same fresh seafood and crafted cocktails the Tide Table group is known for with the addition of specialty pizza. It is also Beach Haven’s newest premiere music venue. Please note our deck is 21+ on weekends and holiday weeks.

Taylor was our server and she did an excellent job. She knew the menu well and accommodated my request for a part of my meal. Why only three stars? The restaurant needs a good scrubbing. Menus were gross, floor was gross, I didn’t even go in the bathroom….
The views are great. But the prices were hardly worth it. I must say the scallops dish was definitely delicious. No follow up in how’s your meal by anyone! Server takes your order, food runner brings it. Server brings you your check. Again Taylor was super sweet, but a green server.

Bird & Betty’s – Long Beach Island, NJ
During a recent visit to Long Beach Island, my girlfriend’s brother treated us to dinner at Bird & Betty’s. His top recommendation was the meatball appetizer—and it did not disappoint. The dish featured a few generously sized meatballs served in a rich, meaty ragu sauce. While the meatballs themselves were excellent, the addition of two pieces of garlic bread elevated the experience. It was clear they knew exactly what they were doing—giving you just enough bread to savor every drop of that sauce.
We also tried the mozzarella appetizer, which was unlike any presentation I’ve seen before. Rather than traditional sticks or balls, it was a single, approximately five-inch-wide circle of fried mozzarella topped with sautéed onions, peppers, and tomatoes. The combination of crispy exterior, melted cheese, and fresh toppings made for a memorable starter. I cut it into pieces so we could share, and it was a definite hit at the table.
The atmosphere at Bird & Betty’s is part of the charm. The restaurant has two levels—upstairs offers an open-air patio with bar service and tables, perfect for watching the sunset, while indoors features a small performance space that could host an intimate concert, along with a wraparound porch. The vibe is lively, with great music and a crowd that clearly enjoys being there.
We enjoyed drinks for about an hour before our meal and ultimately ordered three separate meatball appetizers so each of us could fully enjoy our own, along with one order of the fried mozzarella to share. Arriving at 6 p.m. on a Friday night, we faced a 45-minute wait for a table for three, which wasn’t surprising given how packed the place was. Reservations are available, and I highly recommend making them if you want to avoid a wait.
In short, Bird & Betty’s delivers both in atmosphere and flavor. The food was creative yet comforting, the energy was contagious, and the sunset view from the upstairs patio sealed the deal.

Sitting on the 2nd floor deck over looking the bay with my husbands family and pizza chef PETE! Old fashion is great made by Luke! Our waiter Kyle was attentive and sweet. We ordered several pizzas, arugula, pepperoni, BUT the clam was AMAZING with that little BAM of lemon zest!
What a nice place to hang!

Bird & Betty’s has a great vibe—lively atmosphere, solid cocktails, and a menu that hits the spot after a beach day. The seafood is fresh and the décor has that perfect retro-coastal charm. That said, the service could use some tightening up. Staff were friendly but a bit slow and scattered during our visit. Still worth checking out, especially if you’re in no rush and want to soak in the scene.

Our food was slightly above fair. We shared the clams and butter, octopus, and ceviche and crab cakes. The octopus was not worth the price nor was the presentation. The clams and ceviche were good. The crab cake was a bit soggy. Drinks were good. Service was above par and atmosphere was stellar. Amazing sunset. We probably would revisit.

Stop number one on our food bar crawl. My daughter’s choice. She chose the short rib disco fries, and the fig with Gorgonzola bar pie. Both were fantastic!!! Great pizza crust and those toppings just jived together perfect!

Worst restaurant experience I have had in my life. Stopped here with my family and was truly disappointed. The waitress was scowling at us and was very unfriendly. We were served raw and smelly branzino. You must look at the photos. The pizzas are definitely made with canned sauce and the water tasted like dishwater. The fried chicken sandwich was unpleasant to eat. The fried layer was incredibly thick and greasy. Worst menu options I’ve seen so far. Maybe they should stick to being just a bar. I won’t be coming back. At least the mozzarella was good

Had a beautiful sunset diiner outside of Clam pizza and a pepperoni pizza along with a spicy fritto misto and some oysters on the half shell. Food was great and the atmosphere was even better on a gorgeous fall evening, service was good despite a boisterous crowd on a Saturday night. Glad that we finally got to try this LBI favorite.
