“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!“

“This is a great place! Food is fantastic, really all we had was flavorful and had heat but not so much that it was over powering. People are so friendly. Drinks are made with real fruit. Prices are very reasonable. Best for take out bc only one table. Definitely try this place, a true gem.“

Every time I order, the quality and flavor are just as good as the last. It’s become my go-to spot when my daughter and I want fish and chip. Highly recommend!“

“Davenport never disappoints. An incredible menu with something for all tastes, food always prepared as requested, and the best service in the area. Friendly, knowledgeable and skillful staff start with a warm welcome on arrival and continue to meet every need until an equally warm farewell. Excellent.“

“Great food Great service“

“My brother moved by this spot like a month ago and I know this place OH SO WELL. ? I’m in Freeport and I haven’t found empanadas as good as Mamma Gina’s. When I tell you the food just hits every time, they’re honestly so consistently great.

Parking: It’s a small lot, so just take it slow turning into it.“

“been going here my whole life. the best there is!“

“We went for the second time, the first time was so much better!! This time it was not good. My wife had the fish tacos. Not only did they not look nice but the taste was bad. I had the crunchy mahi mahi. It looked like raw tuna. It was not good as well. The only thing we liked was the desserts. We will not go back any time soon.“

“Very friendly staff and great service food was amazing and very nice cocktails“

“UN EXCELENTE SERVICIO 👏🏻👏🏻 MUY EFICIENTES!!!“

“My husband surprised me with brunch at this establishment for a pre-birthday celebration. This was my very first time here. Firstly, our waiter Christan was AMAZING! He was pleasant, professional, and had a great sense of humor. Right off the back I was pleased. The environment gave me classy, but a chilled vibe. I had the shrimp with grits with creole sauce. It was very delicious. I was not a fan of the creole sauce but only because that's not my thing. I just wanted to try it. The shrimp and potatoes that came with it were amazing! With a glass of mimosa (my first mimosa). My daughter enjoyed her food and so did my husband. Over all, the experience we had was a 10. And, trust, I can be picky, so this says a lot coming from me. Very clean environment, including the bathrooms. It was a really nice experience. Perfect for the occasion. Thank you husband.“

“Great food and services.I really enjoyed this place“

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

“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.“

“This was my 1st time visiting Red Crab! The Food is Absolutely DELICIOUS! The Atmosphere is Sophisticated, Warm and Cozy! The Service is OUTSTANDING! When you visit Red Crab, please ask to sit in Jennifer’s section…She is an Amazing Hostess! Jennifer…Your kindness, energy and positive spirit made us ALL feel valued & appreciated! Honestly, I feel like Jennifer should get a huge raise! She provided us with excellent customer service, she laughed with us, she danced with us and she made my 2 friend’s Birthday Soooooo Special! YESSSSSSS, I will be returning! 5 Stars! Wonderful Experience! YUMMYYYYY FOOD! Thank You, Red Crab, for making my two friend’s Birthday Unforgettable!!! WOWWW…So Much FUNNNNNNN!!! Red Crab owes me nothing…LOL🤣🎉🥳💕🥰👍🏽😃 (One small suggestion…the music can be turned down slightly. It was a little difficult to talk across the table…)“

“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.“

“I've been a local in long Beach for 15+ years. This spot is conveniently nestled all the way in the east end of long beach. After hurricane Sandy, this spot has changed over time and has accommodated new furniture, palm trees, games, and much more. While I was taking my dog Rio out for a walk, I thought I'd stop by and try their lobster roll. During the wait, the staff offered some water for my dog and was fast/prompt. They offered extremely courteous service and the lobster roll was the best bang for its buck. It's a small spot to grab something quick to eat, but what I strongly admire, is how it the only operating business on the corner of pacific and shore road that dishes out some quick eats. Definitely stop by to support their small business, you won't regret it.“

“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..“

“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.“

“A great night out at Chadwick’s. Ali was great! 😊“

“We ended up here because there was a two hour wait next door at Buoy Bar. It is great atmosphere- lively on the water. It is interesting service, you order and they bring the food to your table. You have to wait for table to open, but it didn’t take long(five minutes). Overall we enjoyed the experience and felt like we were away.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My favorite spot on the mile. Great food, service and ambiance!“

“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.“

“Nice huge portions , delicious food, great service ! We will be back.“

“First time visiting ~ A long overdue Sistas Brunch and it was so much fun!!! DJ Jon Quick on the ones & twos, a hypewoman with a 🎤, towers of Rum Punch & White Sangria, good food (jerk lampchops, honey lemon pepper wings, catfish&grits, omelets, steak&eggs, etc), good atmosphere, great laughs!!
Congratulations on this new spot Rocky & Kathy!! Prosperity blessings to make it do what it do!!!“

“Excellent place went here with a couple of my girls for happy hour after work great food great music & the bartender Aliyah was just soo sweet that rum punch had us acting young again lol. We will most definitely be going back ??“

“A quaint and locals-favorite Thai restaurant serving prime dishes. We enjoyed every single dish that was brought to our table. The portions are plenty to share around the table: we had a party of four and ordered 2 entrees, 3 appetizers and a dessert.
The Branzino is the highlight of our dinner, which came with a grand presentation. Fish tasted clean and a hint of sweetness—delectable. We also recommend the Veggie Curry Puff, a savory and flaky goodness. As for dessert, we opted for their second best, Banana Pudding with Ice Cream since they were out of Mango Sticky Rice. Still a great choice!
Highly recommend to bring a few friends and family here :)“

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

“😄a great value ,good food, cool place friendly staff, we have been going here along time always great time“

“Absolutely the best! Treated us like family! Authentic as is it gets! 5 stars!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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)“
