They have some really amazing sauces and salad dressing. Fried Boats are so good.

Food is not very flavorful. Soup was good, but that was about it. We had the broiled seafood platter, it needed a lot of salt and lemon.

What’s not to like - sitting here on a Wednesday late afternoon, an overcast low 70s mid July day. Indulging in a flight of chowders - always forgetting which one is my favorite (seafood bisque - technically a chowder?).
Moving onto their baked clams, which are a little skimpy on the clam part but still tasty(take note owners please.)
Went with the fish and chips today but can definitely splurge for a special. Great food, Blue Point Toasted Lager is the only draft on site and oysters are picked out back. Enjoy a non-pretentious experience that seems to be fleeting.

We found this place by chance after nearby restaurants had long waits — and we’re so glad we did! The food was delicious, the service fast and friendly, and the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming.
Unlike the fancy spots next door, it’s a perfect place for families with kids — no stress if they make noise or a mess. Highly recommend!

The place is cute and the waiters were very sweet with us, lovely music taste too. We got the chowder and crab cakes. I'd say, this is a chowder place so stick to that, because it tasted amazing, but the crab cakes and the shrimp boat were a little dissapointing.

This is easily the worst restaurant I have ever been to on Long Island... the food was very mediocre for the price and on top of that the staff and service was horrendous.. I have never had a server not clean our table, not want to explain some of the menu items and also just be so rude.. I don't know what her name was but she is pretty big and wore a cardigan , black hair ... the homemade dessert is not homemade at all.. the chocolate ice cream tasted like something from ben and jerrys but with so much freezer burn... they dont actually have enough parking either so they have valet parking so that they can fit all the cars in that tiny space.. overall it was awful .. don't go here..
