LAGERHEADS BAR AND GRILL – Restaurant

Directly across Ocean Shore Boulevard from the Atlantic, Lagerheads bills itself as the best dive in town and then serves food that undercuts the joke. Grouper reubens and peel-and-eat shrimp are what regulars order; the Philly cheesesteak has its own following, and weekend breakfast starts at eight. Cottage-style inside with a jukebox and video games, plastic shades that drop when the weather turns, open air the rest of the time. Live music most nights and bigger crowds on Sunday afternoons. Salt air, cold beer, and a plate that arrives quicker than you expected.
