Atlantic City, NJ - Dock's Oyster House. Founded in 1897, this is Atlantic City’s oldest restaurant and the menu is fittingly old school. There are even a handful of items—like oyster stew and crab meat au gratin—that have been on the menu since the establishment opened. This is traditional Jersey Shore–style seafood: oysters Rockefeller, clams casino, shrimp cocktail, and whole lobster, steamed or broiled with drawn butter.
