Our Story
Beach Haven's Golden Era
By the late 1800s, the railroad into Tuckerton brought folks from the cities. A steam ferry shuttled visitors and locals across the bay, and Beach Haven flourished as a seaside community.
By the early 1900s, Beach Haven was a geographical embodiment of the good life, that mix of hard work on the bay and beach town relaxation. Ellis Parker opened a restaurant and houseboat rental operation, and later a boat engine repair shop. We think of it as a golden age of Long Beach Island: the fishermen, the hotel guests, decoy carvers, barkeeps, kids rowing dinghies, the bootleggers, and baymen.
Today, Parker's Garage is a celebration of all that. From our boat slips to our oyster saloon, we want to bring back that era. And we invite your family to be part of it.
Part of Something Bigger
Parker's Garage is proud to be part of the Tide Table Restaurant Group, a family of beloved Jersey Shore establishments united by a passion for fresh seafood, waterfront dining, and the bayman way of life.
In each of our establishments, we aim to serve the freshest seafood and provide a quality experience that keeps the spirit of the Jersey Shore alive.
