I had two of seafood boils with garlic sauce last weekend. I happened to go there because I was once told that it was a pretty good place. Was it a good place to me and my friends? Certainly not.I am a big local business supporter. However, it was not acceptable. 1. Taste: I know it’s personal. Everyone has their own preference. But their butter garlic sauce was a bit too plain to me and all the guests I had. I had to add some salt and garlic myself. So, I gave 3 stars. 2. Portion: Yes. It’s sea food boils. The ingredients are expensive. But compared to other restaurants, it’s quite small. I get more potatoes and corns for similar price from other places. 2 Starts. 3. Quality: God dang! Potatoes were RAW. What more do I have to talk about? Hands down 1 star.Overall, I do not think I would ever going to try this place again even though I see many positive reviews. It might be just that day. But I don’t think it’s worth give it a try for the price.

This is a hidden gem in Bayside. Their food is amazing and the decor is very soothing and vibrant. They even have a small nook for kids to entertain themselves with! All the staff were great and down to earth people. I ordered the snow crab boil combo, bang bang shrimp, and oysters. Everything was fresh and brought to us very quickly. If you have not tried this place I urge you to give it a shot! 10/10 from me and I will definitely be going back again!

I just want to say that I’m so happy that my husband stumbled upon this restaurant.It truly was an amazing meal. The boil was fresh and cooked very well. There’s a variety of sauces to choose from (we chose the Shake Sauce) and that was delicious. The Bang Bang Shrimp was also fantastic. It’s truly worth the money as you get quite a lot.They also have burgers and pasta, which I’m most definitely going to try next time. They sounded delicious and I cannot wait to get to eat them.The service was superb. The staff was kind, friendly, and informative as well. Their suggestions were on point and led to a great meal.I am going back there, 100% sure, because it has a nice vibe and makes eating there a truly enjoyable experience.10/10 recommend to anyone in the area who is looking for a great place for seafood boils!

Great menu with affordable prices and amazing service. Not a fancy affair but the food is all very fresh and the options are abundant. Great spot for family or large groups if you need to please a lot of different tastes.

This place has an owner who cares about their customers. Hands down one of the best oyster spots ever. Beautifully shucked and cleaned; absolutely no sand. The boil is very good. Did not look saucy at first glance but trust me, it’s not what it looks like. I tried the shack sauce and Cajun garlic butter sauce and they are extremely flavorful. You have to try this place!

Friendly staff. Food is decent but not great. The Cajun boil is good and I would recommend (7.5/10). Fish taco was below average and tasted bad (3/10). Fries were not tasty at all and was somewhat soggy (1/10). I will go back here for the boil but will steer clear of other items.

Nice place. Friendly staff and they make you feel welcomed upon entering. They have competitively priced seafood bowls which I would say are the main attraction to this eatery. Even though seafood is their mainstay I had a burger and it was on point as well leading me to believe they have an all around competent cooking staff that are capable of preparing the entirety of the menu well.Bring family or surprise your date and show her a great place to eat right in Queens. They also have a patio which wasn't in use when I visited but I am sure would add to the ambiance on a summer night.

They want u to leave happy and have no problem to ask how the food was like a real NYC restaurant!! You'll know the first time you try them. We just stumbled apon them for Father's day and we were so surprised with there food and service that we will be sure to return!! Seafood like the Nautical Mile in Freeport Nassau County.
