The Barge Restaurant

The Barge Restaurant and Banquet Facility has been a beloved dining destination in Perth Amboy, New Jersey since 1925, making it one of the oldest continuously operating restaurants in Middlesex County. Situated along the historic waterfront, this iconic establishment offers breathtaking views of the Raritan Bay while serving some of the finest seafood and steaks in the region. The restaurant is renowned for its thick, juicy steaks and legendary live Maine lobsters, prepared fresh to perfection and delivered to your table with flair. The warm, pleasant atmosphere combines old-world charm with modern amenities, including a newly expanded second-floor dining room perfect for private events. Whether you're celebrating a bridal shower, engagement party, birthday, retirement dinner, christening, confirmation, or business meeting, The Barge can accommodate gatherings of up to 85 guests with personalized service. Their off-premise catering brings the same quality to your home or venue, featuring hot buffets, cold seafood trays, salads, and an impressive selection of appetizers. Weekend outdoor dining (weather permitting) allows guests to enjoy the waterfront ambiance al fresco. The cocktail lounge offers an extensive wine and beer list to complement your meal. Open for lunch Monday through Saturday from 11:30 AM to 3 PM, and dinner seven days a week with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until 9:30 PM.
