“Outstanding Seafood and Exceptional Atmosphere!
I recently dined at Peter Clam Bar, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and the inviting aroma of fresh seafood. The atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant — the kind of place where you can enjoy a great meal with friends or have a quiet dinner by the water.
Every dish was a standout. The clam chowder was rich and flavorful, packed with fresh clams and perfectly balanced seasoning. The grilled lobster tail was tender and buttery, cooked to perfection. I also tried the seafood platter, and every bite — from the shrimp to the scallops — tasted incredibly fresh and expertly prepared.
The service was top-notch, with the staff being friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s rare to find a restaurant that gets everything right — food, service, and atmosphere — but Peter Clam Bar truly delivers on all fronts.
If you love seafood, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!“

“Stopped here on a Sunday night as they were about to close they were pretty much out of everything. Kerry Ann was kind enough to make us some fresh fried fish and chicken topped it off with some extras. Super amazing customer service. Their coconut drops and peanut cake reminded me so much of back home, jamaica. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely stop by if I'm ever in the area.“

“And - we're back for the 2nd time in a month - just couldn't resist trying more options on the winter menu. This time around we shared tuna tartare app which was plenty for sharing and an excellent option. Dinner choices from our servers suggestions were butterfish and scallops. We enjoyed it all. Great flavors and presentation. Portions were just right, even if it means no take-home box. Looking forward to Spring!“

“We had a fiftieth birthday party here for two twin brothers. The patio out back is beautiful. The food was great and the waitstaff is wonderful. This is practically its own institution in Floral Park.“

“My wife & I dined here from a friend's recommendation. The service was excellent, where the waiter would check on us and ask how the food was multiple times. The food was delicious. The dish we highly recommend is the lobster mac & cheese. It was flavorful and amazing. We also ordered the catfish platter, softshell crab platter, crabcakes, cajun rice with chicken & cajun pasta with shrimp. They were all pretty great. The strawberry lemonade hits the spot for sure. The restaurant has a parking lot, as well as street parking. A++ recommended.“

“Shorty and my first date spot. Have a draft singha while you wait. Under the weather on a Rainy day. Beer and Tom Yom is what the Thai Dr. Ordered.

Good for take out. Tom yom soup (not too spicy) and spring rolls. Soup has a lot of those little mushrooms. Pineapple rice has big pieces of shrimp.“

“Excellent South Indian Food, generous portions, friendly staff and great prices. Chicken Tikka Masala...Absolutely Delicious!!!“

“My new fav spot! I will be going again this week for my birthday 🎂“

“Food is amazing 5/5 every time. Everything is made fresh and they get a lot of business which means you’re going to be waiting sometime. But, they do take online and phone orders. They are very welcoming and very nice. They will let you sample different menu options and not spoonful samples but real samples. They are very nice and I’m so proud of their success. My go to is the whiting, which is the real whiting not the frozen bagged one. Also, the new clam strips and new fries are amazing!!! And the fried okra, chefs kiss. Really great restaurant, you can’t go wrong.“

“The restaurant and food is great Right on the water so great views.I was surprised to see a woman with a pit bull in the restaurant,it definitely wasn't a service dog it had a spoke collar on went to lunge at a man good thing the leash didn't reach him.Then we were in the restroom and she came in with the dog,I had to tell her to take him out and let us to leave the bathroom.Im very surprised the owner didn't ask her to leave.I love dogs, have two big dogs but I don't bring them to restaurants,not fair to them or the patrons.“

“One of my favorite local little hole in the wall spots. Often come here to get a quick bite like the Whiting Fish Sandwich. There a plenty of seafood options and plenty of options to make at home or take with you. Area is a little shaky but hey… that's Hempstead.“

“OMG!!! Everyone needs to dive into the flavor of Cookerz Blend, one of Queens hidden gem on 217-84 Hempstead Ave. From the moment you walk in, you're not just a guest, you are family!!! The warm welcome from both staff and fellow diners sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. I was like, "why is everyone clapping?" Prepare your taste buds for a rollercoaster ride of deliciousness! One visit was all it took for me to fall head over heels for their mouth watering menu. Whether you're craving oxtails, irresistible jerk chicken, or hmmmmm... theeeee honey-glazed salmon that's seasoned to perfection, Cookerz Blend delivers every time! Ha, there's more, you should taste their rasta pasta, it's so divine... heavenly! Oh yes, the fried chicken wings that practically melt off the bone with each bite. oh, oh, oh, and let's not forget about the pepper steak and the curried goat - juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. Even if you fancy yourself a kitchen whiz like myself, Cookers Blend culinary magic will keep you coming back for more. They kept pulling me back in, like what the hell is their secret ingredient? With each visit, I'm not just dining out, I'm embarking on a flavor filled journey that's keeping me hooked. Don't take my word for it, experience it for yourself, trust, you'll thank me later. Prepare to become a lifetime devotee. Thanks to ALL the staff, you got a lifetime customer!“

“This place is a GEM! The service was professional and the ambiance inviting and cozy. Frank created such a personal experience. Ask for his black book for uniquely crafted cocktails. The drinks were amazing and the food delicious. We had the char-grilled octopus, blackened fish tacos and the hanger steak. My husband and I will definitely be back!“

“I love Chickin Box! My boyfriend and I order takeout from here at once or twice a week. Consistently delicious food. Some of our favorites are the wings - we usually get lemon pepper, hot honey, or bbq. You can’t go wrong with any of those flavors - all very good ! We always get the sweet potato fries when we get wings. We also usually get the soul rolls which are a must have here . Some of our other go to dishes are the lamb chops with a side of asparagus , the shrimp tacos, or the Rasta pasta with salmon . Overall I would definitely recommend Chickin Box the food is deposit and fair priced . I want to try dining in next time.“

“Highly Recommended, Highly Satisfied, A Great Hospitality, Perfect Family Restaurant, and overall it’s the best homemade home fried rice and Cajun fries and Seafood are top notch best quality food services where the Owner (chef himself), his Newphew are such a friendly company. I enjoy the business and when whenever I’m around my old neighborhood in Town of Freeport (PORTKNOX NATIVE) I come here to enjoy with my family and my small parrot 🦜 - happy folks and nice environment staff..“

“This is one of my favorite seafood places. The food is flavorful, a lot of different sauces. They have plenty of options to choose from. I do like for a small fee you an add lobster. If you have a craving for seafood, try this place at least once. Go early before the crowd.“

“Love this place. Been to it a couple of times and the pizza is amazing. The Garlic Knots Slider were good but not great and at $11 not worth it. The pizza though is incredible. Really good Sicilian speciality slices.

Had the cheese steak which was really good as well but I wish I didn't have to spend so much money to eat here.“

“Me and my mother went to get some pizza yesterday (9/27/25) and we were welcome by the owner and he explained all the different flavors of the pizza and they all sound so good. While we were waiting, the owner gave us free cookies and he gave us an extra slice of pizza and when we ate the cheese and BBQ chicken pizza, I felt like my spirit was leaving my body. Make sure you go here and you will be loved and left in shock of the atmosphere and the love of the staff that will keep you coming back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR YOU TO COME HERE WITH YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY.“

“I had the tuna and it was absolutely delicious!!“

“Nice place to unwind and enjoy great service from the awesome bartender's Shorn and Linval. Those drinks are amazing very punching. (Rum Punch)“
