Restaurants near Ocean Beach

“We had a very nice meal here back in October. Our server, Shannon, was outstanding and took excellent care of us. The location is fantastic, sitting right on the water and made for a very pleasant meal. We had the calamari appetizer (very good), the Sauteed Flounder, which was okay and not worth $40, and the Gourmet Burger. I thoroughly enjoyed the burger. Since we came over on our boat, we weren't drinking, but the bar area looked pretty cool. We will come back again.”

“Been going to Scoops for years! Great ice cream... friendly staff... a must do when visiting Ocean Beach!”

“Friendly accommodating staff. Beautiful water and sunset views. Food and service was great. The cocktails were even better.”

“If you're on Fire Island and over 21, make this a stop. And order the Rocket Fuel. Great starting/ending point for a day trip, or meetup for friends gathering on the island.”

“My favorite place to go every summer! Thank you for a delicious lunch and terrific afternoon! Love Matthew’s Seafood House.”

“Great place to hang out. After a long day hanging out in the bay. Food is great service.”

“I love having a vegan option in fire island! My husband has been coming to fire island since he was a child and we became vegan together about 5 years ago. We miss town pizza but are so appreciative of having an alternative so we’re not a pain with family! We always get a vegan cheese pizza with mushrooms and whatever veggies are available! We love it!”

“On the advice of a friend who regularly visits Fire Island, our family of eight, including a four-year-old and an infant, had an amazing dinner experience at Albatross tonight. I was somewhat apprehensive because the restaurant's Google rating was lower than that of another restaurant where we had had a disappointing lunch the first day of our stay. So I wanted to write my five-star review as soon as possible.

Our positive experience began when we dropped by during the afternoon to get the hostess's advice on how to procure a table for eight people -- without a reservation! -- on a busy Saturday night. She told us that if we came before 6:00 they would probably be able to accommodate us.

This is exactly what happened. When we arrived we were immediately seated at a comfortable table near the window. The attentive waitstaff quickly took our drink orders and, shortly thereafter, our meal orders.

I was worried that our small children might become difficult while we ate two courses (starters and a main course). However, our server brought our starters quickly, and the main course soon after clearing our dishes from the first course. The timing was perfect!

The food was perfect, too. I enjoyed my New England clam chowder, one of the best versions I've tasted. The table shared top-notch oysters, steamers, fried calamari, and Buffalo wings. Our mains, which included grilled fish, linguine with white clam sauce, and penne with vodka source and grilled shrimp, were uniformly excellent, with quality ingredients and preparation. For example, the grilled broccoli that accompanied my barramundi was so flavorful that it transcended the norm for this standard vegetable.

With our meal we enjoyed a bottle of white wine at a fair price.

This review may sound too favorable to be true, but it accurately describes our experience. I recommend Albatross wholeheartedly.”

“It's a good pizza.”

“I really liked the Ocean Beach FI Sand Bar. The staff were so accommodating. The food was good and the drinks were made so well. The two bands we stayed for were excellent. We will be back soon!”

“Hands down the Best meals, portions and service we had all week on Fire Island! The coconut shrimp and calamari apps were fantastic. The scallops, bone-in ribeye, eggplant entrees and all 3 desserts were phenomenal. Our waitress Christen and Holden gave perfect service. Highly recommend The Dunes!”

“We had fun sipping Zippies on the water!”

“Fun place! Not only do they have ice cream, but they also sell Italian ices, candy, and baked goods! The only catch is that they only take cash. Be aware of this!”

“What a pleasure to be able to enjoy our own party from start to finish! Keith was a pleasure to work with planning the event and his staff were absolutely amazing from set up, preparation serving and clean up! The abundance of delicious food and amazing selection made the party! Everyone was asking “who are these guys I need their number!” We cannot express our happiness enough and look forward to our next event with them! Thank you Keith and crew!”

“As always, dinner was amazing. From the delicious drinks, courteous service, relaxing, elegant atmosphere, and the delicious dishes. And without me having to ask, they brought a cake with a candle to my daughter whose birthday it was, which was very thoughtful and absolutely delicious. I continue to highly recommend Shands and the State Room for everything from happy hour to dinner and late night snacks.”

“Been here a few times. falafel gyro, butter chicken and a philicheese steak (where I go I have to try it and usaully disapointed) Each time I can hear them cutting the fresh ingredigents for the food. Phillycheese steak with feta cheese is something I will have to try again. The Butter chicken was so good.”

“Food is always good but today was one of those days ... tortillas where not the same and pineapples for the al pastor where not grilled as if you guys ran out and just sliced and added at least mix it with the meat ... I own a restaurant so I know how things go sometimes but pls .. consistency is key ...”

“Enjoy every time we go delicious”

“I decided to order from the newly-opened Tonnam on a whim for dinner tonight, and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. Everything in my order was excellent - spring rolls, curry puff (a samosa-esque appetizer I was particularly fond of), and pad thai. They serve a variety of bubble tea as well, and the menu has a nice overall variety. I'll be back for sure; try them out!”
