Martin S.November 12, 2014The mussels were cooked perfectly. The classic is a classic done right. The duchess of bergamot is an amazing cocktail. The bread was heavenly too. They change their draught beers often.
Elliot WehnerJanuary 11, 2015Mussels mussels mussels (and oysters too)! More choices than one could ever imagine. Just ask the server for his/her fav - sure it will be great! We had the san daniele and acadian (pictured)
Halley MarieJuly 27, 2019Got the number 23 mussels of the day and the lobster mussels in a red sauce (asked for them cooked without butter) - both were amazing! The cocktails were okay and the donuts are a must!
Stephanie TanOctober 11, 2021Mussels are cooked to perfection here. I got the Thai broth and it was everything I needed on a rainy day. It also comes with sourdough bread and it’s 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
My favorite restaurant in NYC! if you're in the mood for something light get the Thai mussels. If you want something heavier go for the Parma and add mushrooms! And don't forget the donuts for dessert
Elizabeth BursteinJanuary 9, 2020Loved the classic and angry lobster mussels w truffle fries. One bourbon drink very refreshing! Ordered the guac but could have done w/out
Lauren MacJuly 29, 2015They know how to do broth here. Get the truffle fries and donuts for dessert! Flavors mixed well, and look for the fun instructions on the hallway wall too.
HeidiMarch 25, 2017Lemon curd doughnut hole is a sleeper hit. Would come here just for that even though it is a restaurant. Mussels and frites are of course good. Tuna carpaccio and Kumamoto oysters if they have them.
Jane KatzNovember 19, 2015get a glass of the organic sancerre- it is so crisp and refreshing. Dijon mussels are a bit overwhelming but most others are delicious. If you like big hunks of bacon, get the funghi!
Andrea FerreyrosJanuary 31, 2016The donuts were truly amazing!! We got s'mores, pb&j, wild blueberry and salted caramel. The vanilla bean dipping sauce topped it off!
Giulia MJuly 20, 2018Excellent food! Quality is always amazing - it's crazy to never get a single bad mussel, ever!! Don't forget to try the oysters, other mains, cocktails and desserts too!- Sam BrownNovember 5, 2012Get the Thai Mussels, grab your first one and use the shell from that as your "tongs" for the rest of the meal! So much easier than actual cutlery. Side: Truffle Fries. Cocktail: Flex Side-blast.
Amaury TouchyourTrililiMarch 5, 2018Got the fungi and San Daniele mussels, very good I really recommand them. The sauces were so good! The sauvignon blanc was great as well. Super experience!
Jacob LindbladAugust 9, 2016A friendly, casual eatery. We had oysters for starters, super fresh, 4 different kinds. The mussel pot itself was delicious & beautiful. Great wine menu too.
Andrew GattoMarch 1, 2015Cool seafood spot. Has the appeal of a popup place and the food doesn't disappoint. I enjoyed the Maine mussel pot and the Virginica Oysters. Good for dates too.
TiffanyApril 19, 2016Get a few pots of mussels to share with friends! Recommend the Thai, Parma, classic and fungi flavors. Also get some truffle fries to split.
Marco WinklerOctober 19, 2018It had been years since I had eaten at Flex Mussels, probably 5 years in fact. The food was still excellent, particularly the filled donuts for desert.
Victoria U.July 9, 2014Always accommodating and a great place for groups. Sharing several mussels and donuts makes for a wallet and stomach friendly place.
Cecilia Francesca PINEDAAugust 7, 2014CarbCounters!: Debating eating the bread while waiting for the kitchen? Save bread for leftover broth after you've finished the mussels. Truffle fries: more truffle flavor plz.
Sarah SpagnoloDecember 5, 201423 different types of mussels: I chose the Cleopatra. Super friendly service and cool art on the walls.
Alexis BendjouiaOctober 19, 2015The fish tacos are underrated! A must. Then the Thai and fra diavolo mussels for sure.

Annie TolochinskiAugust 13, 2016About 20 different varieties of mussels, they all come in an individual pot. Good bar area.
Go with a group so you can order a bunch! Try the Thai, Parma and fungi with some truffle fries to start
You can't go wrong here, the mussels are delicious. The Parma is insane - its heavy but kind of mind blowing. Truffle fries are a must.- Teresa WJanuary 9, 2012new winter happy hour - all you can eat mussels from 5:30-6:30. guys who work here are great. don't miss the salted caramel donuts; they're to die for!

tif laceyJuly 5, 2015lobster bisque mussels were amazing. their donuts were the perfect end to a rainy, cold night in the west village.
One of my favorite places on the planet! I regret not knowing about this place sooner. The Thai mussels have maximum flavor!
O LOctober 29, 2022Loved it. Great vibes. Amazing selection of muscles. Make sure to get the doughnuts for dessert.
The shuckers at the bar are great fun. All of the mussel selections are great! I'd opt for Thai over Brazilian-don't bother saving calories and go for it!
Ashley SmegielskiJune 28, 2013This place is amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Bring friends and dunk in each others broth.
Cynthia LinSeptember 9, 2016Snooty staff. There's a good variety of flavors to choose from, but the mussels aren't marinated in them long enough
Ernest SakyiMay 2, 2019Great place for oysters, if you love them. $1.50 some days. Great food as well.

Rich RendeiroMarch 13, 2014The truffle french fries are great! Mussels are fresh, very delicious. The ambiance pulls everything together.
Gilt CityDecember 3, 2010Sink your teeth into the Thai mussels, infused with coconut, lemongrass, and ginger; or, take a trip to Bayou country with a gumbo-laden serving of shrimp, mussels and andouille sausage.
