You can smell the brine and Old Bay seasoning the minute you leave your car and head toward the front door of Nance's. There's not much atmosphere, but that's okay. Oysters, the small local ones that taste of saltwater and seaweed, are the specialty, available raw or steamed in an iron pot and served with butter. There are other selections on the menu, but it's really all about the oysters -- and the 10-layer chocolate cake, made specially for Nance's by a local baker.

The seafood here is steamed deliciously with old bay. We recommend the steamed pot for two. The crab cakes are also top notch.
The American fare was great as well. We had fries, onion rings, and 12oz cans of Budweiser.
We went off season, so it wasn't super-busy, which was nice.
I think that "Michael from New jersey Shore" is right about the view and the oysters (although we prefer them steamed) he is wrong about everything else. Fodors' review is just fine.
