50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Brookhaven

“Varney’s is awesome! Whether you go for a lobster roll and margarita in the summer or French onion soup in the winter, they just always knock it out of the park! Not to mention they have the BEST mussels - red or white!“

“We have never had a bad experience at VooDoo Crab so we decided to place a catering order for Christmas. They did not disappoint. The food was just as amazing. Customer service was exceptional from the time we placed it to pick up. We were very happy we tried them for our catering needs!“

“As always a top notch experience! Drinks, food, service all excellent. Living here is Stony Brook over 20+ years and this restaurant is the most consistent and always excellent. Wishing Ron and the entire staff best of luck for many more years to come.“

“Great lunch today and this was our first time there. Really delicious. Thank you 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Catch Oyster Bar hits that sweet spot — cozy, unpretentious, and always buzzing with good energy. Their martinis are dangerously good, the fries are perfection, and the blackened tuna wrap? Fresh, bold, and downright addictive.

It’s the kind of spot that wins over everyone — from the preppy Williamsburg crowd to the shee-shee Hamptonites. Easygoing vibe, great food, and a bar that knows what it’s doing.

Highly recommended — one of those rare places that feels like both a local favorite and a weekend escape. GO!“

“Customer Service Amazing Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Calamari So tender Shrimp Delicious Fish Cakes were to die for. That was my Christmas Eve order. Definitely will go back“

“Endless shrimp 🦐 🍤 $20 yum 😋“

“First time there tonight for a birthday dinner. WOW is an understatement. Sat outside with a beautiful sunset view. We had the short rib special, the sea bass and the swordfish entrees and they were delicious! The mussels in white sauce to start and the (clearly) homemade peanut butter and chocolate & carrot cake desserts were phenomenal. Our waitress Jaimie was the BEST-so sweet and welcoming-all of her recommendations from cocktails to entrees to dessert were spot on. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Awesome and the food very good“

“Nice experience, I can say that this was a pleasurable experience!“

“I can not believe that this restaurant has been here on Main Street in Port Jefferson Village for over 20 years and I never ate there!!! This is my new Favorite place to eat. The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“Band was great. I couldn't help but get up and move my feet and sing. Food and service good. Atmosphere was very comfortable. I loved that you let Rising Tide play until after closing. I had another round to just listen to the singer and the musicians. So much the laid back scene of the real Grateful dead. Acoustics needed a little balance but all in all made for an enjoyable night.“

“Just had the all you can eat for the first time and it was incredible. The service was equally amazing and the $1 drinks were surprisingly strong. 5 stars from us.“

“The atmosphere was great, food was amazing. But the icing on the cake was the staff we had Torrie as our professional service person and her support staff were unbelievable she was on point with everything my wife and I want and had great suggestions on we may like she hit it out of the park. Thank you.“

“Just got this delivered and oh my god- phenomenal! I normally don’t write reviews but I had to shout from the rooftops how great everything was- the lo mein, chicken and broccoli, and wonton soup was so tasty and fresh. I got dinner for my man and don’t normally enjoy Chinese food as much as he does, but this blew me away! Wish I could give more than 5 stars ✨“

“Great food…great service….always fresh and delicious…lucky to have Blue Water in our town!…👍“

“Had the pleasure of choosing Tara Inn for lunch today, every establishment can learn a lesson from the customer service that my friend and I experienced. Upon walking in we were greeted by Peter, Tara’s husband and son-in-law of the founder who named the bar for his daughter 47 years ago. We told him it was our first visit and he offered us seats and welcomed us. The regulars at the bar guided us through the menu and we each had a burger with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles for $1 per burger expecting very small burgers we were surprised to find them standard sized and deliciously prepared to medium. My friend had the fried shrimp and I had a $13 steamed lobster! Excellent! They offer daily specials and one of the gentleman at the bar told me their steaks are very good. Every staff person went out of their way to make us feel at home. A charismatic women came out from the back and introduced herself as Tara she thanked us for choosing to lunch there. Why can’t other places realize the importance of making a first time patron feel welcome. I
Had a great afternoon enjoying the excellent variety of beers that they provide on tap. The charming decor has probably changed little since the ‘70s and that adds to the vibe. If you want to go to the friendliest bar on Long Island, head over to Tara Inn.“

“Last night we (2 couples) went to Ruth Chris Steak House in Lake Grove, NY for dinner and had the best dinning experience we have had in awhile. It is now our favorite steak restaurant. The food is outstanding, compliments to the chief!! Also, I would like to comment on our waitress, Kim, who is terrific!!! She was so attentive to all our requests, took care of us all night. Also, the manager is a real gentleman, and he also made us feel comfortable and special. Without a doubt, this is the best steak restaurant on the Island, we have been to most of the upscale restaurants here and we rate this the best. If you want terrific food, great service, and a delightful ambiance, try this restaurant, you won't be disappointed!!!“

The downstairs and our group upstairs. She was very pleasant, professional, and did a great job handling everything herself. The food was so good. There are so many food options on the menu, it caters to everyone's tastes. Definitely recommend going there and we will definitely go back. Looking forward to it!!“

“Had the pleasure of eating at the Greenport location. Two of my HS girlfriends and myself on moderately busy on Sunday (1012/24) at about 5:30. A young waiter named Brian was our server. We first ordered drinks, mine was the margarita with the pomegranate swirl. So delicious!! Refreshing and frosty! We shared the Mexican Street corn and the three dips with chips, which were freshly made. So fabulous! So tasty. The salsa, guacamole and queso were just perfect, each different but delicious!! The corn was sweet and flavorful. I had three tacos in hard shells. Fried chicken, fried shrimp and the marinated steak. Each one was different and very fresh. My one friend, is a vegetarian and the other is gluten intolerant BUT! They each found many yummy choices! I’ve been trying to get to this restaurant for several years, and finally the planets aligned! Brian was well trained, patient and informative with a good humor. The interior is bright, festive and clean. So much food, I could not finish all of it. And!! the restroom was clean! You should be very proud of this business! We will be back! Thank you!!“

“Great Italian restaurant in Rocky Point“

“We had an engagement party here recently. Other than a few hiccups that happened, like the passed hors d'oeuvre ended at an hour when we were told it would go on until people stopped taking them, everth8ng else was well done. Food was good and the room was perfect for the 110 people we had there. Overall a nice place to have a function.“

“Had a great experience here last night. The food was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed some of the best baked clams I’ve ever had. The drinks looked very creative as well. The skirt steak was tender and marinated in a delicious marinade. The service was helpful but it wasn’t a rushed experience by any means. The patio is dog friendly as well. I will be back!“

“Excellent food! We will be regulars.“

“I went to on Memorial Day and the food and beer was great. The service was amazing.“

“Great place. Thank you from the US Military Vet MC“

“This place is magical. Yes there are some mosquiotos and bugs but you’re in the middle of nowhere - it’s to be expected and really isn’t as bad as the person below makes out. I can only assume that they are used to 5* hotels surrounded by “things to do”. If you want a little adventure and beautiful scenery and quiet then this is your place. The staff were great, we had an amazing stay“

“Tiki Joe's is a nice little beach front kitchen and bar. The food is good. A little pricey though. The bar is nice. Beautiful view of the Long Island Sound on the North Shore. A lot of speciality drinks/cocktails. They have bands that usually play on the weekends but you have to get there early. They stop playing by 9p.m. Other than that, overall decent spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of parking“

“My husband and I love the food, service, atmosphere and staff. Reasonable prices and the portions are large so always enough for lunch the next day. Can’t wait to go back.“

“I’ve never been disappointed- always great food and great service 👍🏻“

“I only write a review when I’m really impressed and really annoyed with something. I’m from the U.K and love British Chinese food, I’ve never been a fan of American Chinese food until now! This food is so tasty and flavorful I’ve ordered it three times and each time it’s been delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Great place to stop by with friends or family for a nice night out or just a quick outing. My regular bartender Debbie is always so warm and inviting even on the weekdays. Hopefully this service continues to be reflected upon by their employees. It’s always a good day for Lombardi’s on the Bay.“
