Brick, NJ is about to get a major seafood upgrade. The beloved Cuzin’s Seafood Clam Bar, well-known throughout New Jersey for its lively atmosphere, oversized seafood platters, and signature raw bar selections, has officially confirmed a brand-new location coming to Brick in 2026.

A large banner now hangs across the former burrito restaurant on Route 70, announcing “CUZIN’S — COMING 2026”, and construction work is already underway.

A Reputation That Needs No Introduction

Cuzin’s has grown into one of New Jersey’s most recognizable seafood destinations. Whether it’s their:

• towering seafood towers,

• fresh-shucked clams & oysters,

• lobster specialties,

• house-made pasta with seafood,

• or vibrant bar scene…

…Cuzin’s has earned a loyal following across the state. Their restaurants are known for big portions, a party-style vibe, and a menu that blends classic seafood dishes with modern flair.

The Brick location marks another big step in their expansion across New Jersey.

Why Brick, NJ Makes Perfect Sense

Brick Township continues to attract popular restaurant groups looking to capture the energy of the Jersey Shore while still appealing to full-time local residents. With strong year-round traffic, neighboring towns like Point Pleasant, Toms River, Wall, and Lakewood, and its proximity to Routes 70 & 88, Brick is primed for a standout seafood destination.

Cuzin’s opening here brings something entirely new to the area:

• A full raw bar

• High-energy dining

• Specialty seafood entrées

• Signature cocktails

• Weekend nightlife atmosphere

It’s a style Brick doesn’t currently have at this scale.
