Overlook At The Beach

Great spot right on the beach but not much of a view of the ocean with the dunes in your way when your seated. Food is typical bar style and nothing to write home about. Your paying for the atmosphere and the music acts they hire but still a fun place to hang.

Awesome location. Staff is great and the live music makes the atmosphere… Hopefully Kane will be back next summer.
They make their own buffalo sauce so try the buffalo nachos.

Awesome spot right on the beach. Went there yesterday with a few friends for the first time. Our waitress Jocelyn was on point with food recommendations and came right back with our drinks. Prices were more than fair especially considering the location and the live music by Kane Daily was awesome. Only problem we had was the rain.
Definitely coming back.

This indoor-​outdoor restaurant sits just behind a low dune, overlooking the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. it is a real «locals» place with cruiser bikes, surfboards, and beach chairs parked right outside the entryway. You can feel the breeze and hear the ocean while you eat. There is indoor seating with a wide open window to sit in front of, a pizza area (I think this used to be primarily a pizza place), and very casual outdoor seating under umbrellas, with plasticware for your dining pleasure. Our waitress was friendly, accommodating, and came by often to see if we were okay. The chopped salad was huge, but kind of expensive for a lunch meal @ nearly $ 13. The portobella mushroom melt tasted more like a thin piece of eggplant, rather than the thicker, deeper flavor of that kind of mushroom. It was affordable at $ 8.95. Glasses of wine are definitely on the expensive side at $ 10 each. For a place that is so casual, so beachy, and not overly clean outside (not their fault as there is a beach entrance right next door and folks drop and leave a lot of stuff on the ground, plus the wind blows stuff around), it is surprising that a lunch meal ended up being pretty expensive. On the other hand, you’re paying for some pretty cool real estate, so, enjoy the view while you enjoy your meal.

Awesome spot! Right on the corner of NY Ave at the beach entrance. Views of the beach, live music on weekends, very reasonably priced food and drinks for a beachfront location. Good portions of food for the price, and the drinks are stiff. Nice alternative to all the bars off the beach.

Mark and the crew at the Overlook are the best! We laughed and took selfies into happiness and everyone was super chill. This place is the best. The happy hour prices are affordable and the strawberry mojitos are the best! definitely would recommend. 5 stars!

Food was ok. The view was to die for. Perfect. Ordered the steak not impressed. not at all. Service was great. Ordered raw oysters. Great drinks were great. Staff were idiots I orders fries they said they were not sure if they had fries. How do u not know if u have fries

Great location… right on the beach.
I was with a large party and we tried almost everything on the menu, everything was great.
The drinks are cold and powerful, the service was friendly.
I will go back again.

Came to the overlook for dinner — great view and beautiful sunsets — our waitress Jocelyn was super friendly and really made our dining experience great

Great spot on the beach just off the boardwalk for watching sunset. Awesome place to sit back relax, and have a frozen drink or two.
Cons are the live Dj is down right bad. He’s either blasting the music to high or just making obnoxious comments to patrons and people on the boardwalk.

Beautiful, one-​of-​a-​kind location right on the boardwalk. Deliciously strong cocktails, fantastic food, and great live music. Laid back atmosphere, so don’t be in a hurry! Go immediately, and slurp down some watermelon margaritas!

Very rarely do you find a relaxing go-​to spot ON THE BEACH with live music, amazing food and just a generally fun crowd. Best part… the options! You can take a break from the sun and sand and take a seat on the outdoor patio under an umbrella for a drink and/​or a yummy meal and get serenaded with the classics. You can jump inside the Overlook and get some cooler air, grab a quick slice of delicious pizza and your own drinks from the bar (WATERMELON MARGARITA??? SIGN ME UP!!). OR, you can take your meals and cocktails out to the beach!
The food is super tasty (tons of options here as well), the drinks are great and the fact that I no longer have to trek to the beach with a picnic on my back makes every beach day a little bit sunnier!

Perfect spot on the beach to stop at for a few drinks and some good food. Nice atmosphere being on the deck with friendly staff. Strong cocktails and some tasty dishes as well. It is a beach bar and can get very busy, so if you’re expecting food to come out in 10 min, try going to a less busy spot not right on the beach. Unless you’re getting a slice of pizza, which is very delicious. Have a drink while you wait for your food and relax and enjoy the live music.

Location location location… Beautiful spot on the beach to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat as well as live music on the weekends. If you are in a hurry — don’t come but if you want all of the above just relax and enjoy. The staff are warm and friendly.

Ugh, terrible experience. Waited way too long to be served, then our food took over an hour to get. I was told they «had to fire a chef because he went to rehab» and they «had a lot of take out orders.» The prices are pretty comical as well. Burgers and sandwiches weren’t bad, but $ 15 for a burrito??? Slightly insane. $ 6 for a CAN of Corona? No thanks. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger… and it had no bacon on it. I was told «that’s the second time he did that.» Sounds like they need to replace that chef as well. I will say, overall the food was pretty tasty. Once I got my bacon it was pretty good, their fries are really good as well. They did a pretty good job of trying to make up for the wait time (they gave us a free drink, 2 slices of pizza and an Italian ice) but I can’t see myself coming back anytime soon

Terrible terrible service. Ordered as soon as we sat down, an hour and a half later was told that they’d run out of what I had ordered. Ordered something new (fried shrimp) and waited another hour. Felt bad for the server who kept bringing us misordered drinks but that didnt make up for it. She eventually brought us shots which we turned down. Tried to comp us the meal which we were never served (because they ran out). No apology from management. Server was polite, manager needs to find a new career. Don’t go here unless you want to wait FOREVER. And there were two of us.

Great location! Food and menu are good for a beach place/​shack.
The Music/​DJ is probably this places downfall. The Friday evening DJ is a little much. The music blares, you can’t really hear much of anything else so good luck trying to have a conversation. Maybe I will try it again but never again on a Friday

Great relaxed beach bar with delicious food and awesome staff. Too bad customers cant sit back and enjoy the atmosphere, have a drink and look over the water without complaining that their delicious burgers took longer than mickey ds. If you want to
Have a great afternoon, definitely the place to be.

Great that it is a place to eat and drink on the water in long beach, but true to long beach fashion, it doesn’t nail it.
The tables on the patio are placed inefficiently, and there aren’t enough tables. You seat yourself, so a party of two can take a table for 4. This is a problem for the diners as well as the bottom line of the restaurant — why they don’t care, I don’t know.
Not enough waiters/​waitresses. When you get someone’s attention, dream as if you’d live forever, order as if you’ll die today.
Icing on the cake — order a water and they charge you. Cmon — really? Is that allowed? It’s not like that was all I ordered — a margarita and two glasses of wine, additionally, but it’s long beach — few things are done without a hitch round these parts.
Good live music when we were there.
Few healthy options on the menu. Please improve that.

Lived on long island for my youth and always enjoyed the summers at the beaches. Depending on the year, I would be spending weekdays and weekends at Lido, Pt Lookout or Long Beach.
The overlook is right at the beginning of the Long Beach boardwalk’s West End. They have a to go counter some stools inside and a small patio with high tops and tables. Umbrellas are available for most tables bit not all. It’s literally a stones throw from the beach entrance and a good place to rehydrate or grab a beer. They had a selection of cans for 6 and drafts for 6. Went with sly fpx ipa in a can and a Coors light on draft. The food was good. Perfect for a quick 30 min reprieve from the salt and sun. I went with the chicken club sandwich. Nicely grilled chicken on a hefty soft roll.
Service was pleasant and attentive.
