“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.“

“I always enjoy ordering from this place! The food is made quickly and always arrives hot and fresh. What I appreciate most is the consistency! 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!“

“I've been visiting Johnny's for over 30+years. Today I went for a lobster roll which replaced the shrimp roll. last year this lobster was so delicious 😋 couldn't wait till the summer. unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. it is not longer on a garlic bun and now served on a plain hot dog bun :( also flavorless! last yr price was $24 and now up to $28 with no flavor and blah bun. please bring back the recipe from years before. thanks“

“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.“

“My friend and I - both longtime lovers of Asian cuisine - were originally headed to another spot for lunch, but it was closed for a break until 5 PM. Hungry Monster was nearby, so we decided to give it a try - and we’re so glad we did!
Though the restaurant is small, it’s incredibly cozy and comfortable, with a mix of four-person tables and bar-style seating with stools. When we arrived, there were only a couple of teenagers sipping smoothies, so we practically had the place to ourselves. That meant we got the full attention of our wonderful waiter, Biscuit, who was very attentive and made us feel well cared for from start to finish.
We both ordered their signature dish package - I chose the soup-based seafood package, and my friend ordered the beef version. Each dish came served in a small cauldron, full of different ingredients and rich flavor. The portions were generous, so I ended up taking half of mine home. As a nice touch, they packed my leftovers in a high-quality branded bag with the restaurant’s name, which I really appreciated.
We ended our meal with drinks - mine was a refreshing grapefruit and lemon green tea, and my friend had a Mango Tea Yakult, which was fruity, creamy, and perfectly balanced.
The ambiance added to the experience. The decor combines traditional Asian elements with anime-style art, even on the bathroom door! It was fun, vibrant, and gave the place a unique personality. Pleasant background music played throughout the meal - it was noticeable enough to enhance the atmosphere but soft enough not to interfere with conversation.
Some practical notes:
• They offer delivery, and you can get a 10% discount on takeout if you pay in cash.
• They’re open every day.
• The only downside is parking - limited spots in front of the restaurant and no obvious public parking nearby. You can risk parking in the nearby plaza, but there are tow warnings posted. Thankfully, we didn’t have any trouble.
All in all, we had a wonderful lunch at Hungry Monster. The food was fantastic, the service was top-notch, and the whole experience felt welcoming and personal. We’ve been to many Asian restaurants before, and this one stood out in the best way.
If you enjoy Asian cuisine, we highly recommend Hungry Monster. We’ll definitely be coming back! 5/5 stars“

“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.“

“The portions for the appetizers were so igwe couldn’t even order entrees. The food is well seasoned and delicious. The service was attentive. The ambiance is PARTY. You just keep moving as you done. I definitely will be back…“

“Great ambiance, food was good and service was excellently. Hosts were personable. Will definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I came here for fresh seafood and ended up purchasing several prepared food items, since those are easy and looked well made. I tried both seafood and vegetable dishes. All were fresh and tasted delicious. I care about fresh seafood. Prices are not cheap, but with seafood, quality really matters. There also appears to be a sushi restaurant onsite, which I'll have to try next time I'm in town. Roslyn is fortunate to have several local gourmet markets and this counts.“

“Was driving back from New Jersey a couple weeks ago and there had been some accidents and a ton of traffic so we decided to take a unplanned detour and stopped in Great Neck. Happily we found a Great Mediterranean Seafood Restaurant/Bar AND saved on drive time! 😜 The server greeted us with a basket of Warm Grilled Pita & Humus, on the house. Pictured we have the Grilled Anchovy & Chilled Roasted Beet Salad with Scallion & Raddish, Tuna Tar Tar with Guacamole, Seaweed Salad & Raddish Apps The Fish 🐟🐡🐙🦀🦞🦐🦑🐚 was Super Fresh & Plentiful and Plenty to choose from! I even saw the Host presenting a table 2 Whole Fish to inspect, compare and choose from 👌👌👏👏 FRESH! An Incredibly lite white airy Chilean #Seabass and Broccoli with garlic, olive oil, sundried tomatoes and chickpeas, was, for me, perhaps the star of the whole show. Grilled Olive Oil #GROUPER with Roman Green Beans 👌 Lastly a Kid's Steak Tidbits order with Fried & Broccoli.. Pearl was Impressed! Skirt Steak.. whole basket was only like $12 $7 #margaritas 👍👍#fullbar #liny #longislandfoodie #freshfish #mangiawithmaggi #Greekfood #mediterraneandiet #lowsalt #nosalt #healthyfood #goodeats #tellthemmaggisentyou“

“Our experience at Dagim was very positive. We started with the corn and palm salad, dressed perfectly. Then shared the Whole Branzino which was excellent and the green sauce was to die for. Owners very appreciative for your support and Melissa our server was very friendly and on point. We will return.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great dining experience. Superb cuisine!!“

“It was a special after-the-beach day birthday dinner at Artie’s and it was fantastic! Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“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.“

“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..“

“Sehr gute Küche, freundliche Bedienung und angenehme Atmosphäre“

“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.“

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

“Wow Wow Wow, Need I say more. My wife and I came down to city Island to try The Famous Sammy's. We traveled from Atlanta Georgia and had the pleasure of meeting the owners. Some of the most nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Now let me tell you, This is not your ordinary sea food. This food is above all others. I can go on and on about the food just by the reviews will tell you. Just put it this way I will be back on jan 3 for my Birthday 🎈. See you guys then.“
