Marlon BrownNovember 14, 2015Great lil vibes, all type of food was prepared great. The ribs was fall off the bone & the lobster tails were succulent. We got the BBQ Feast.
Nakia HAugust 10, 2014Great value, quick service, and HUGE portions. Almost everyone takes a doggy bag. No need for appetizers because it's all so filling. Bottomless garlic bread is great to start...and end!
michelle.September 11, 2011Been here a few times & it's the best seafood spot in City Island. The garlic bread, crab legs, lobster & shrimps are to die for & the drinks are always on point. They make official Nutcrackers!! :D.
Andria GrayMarch 6, 2014One of my favorite places.The garlic bread is to die for and the lobster special an awesome, delicious value. A customer for more than a decade but last year we went 13 weeks in a row. It's THAT good!
Not ideal for vegetarians, but an OK penne vodka and some pretty amazing garlic bread. It's worth the trip for the experience, alone. It's quite the establishment. Come patient, long lines always!
Phil TangSeptember 23, 2012A feast is really enough for four people(four men) Order an appetizer to share and you have a great bang for your buck! My recommendation is order the steamers with garlic.- Carol BriscoeSeptember 11, 2015A must try is the combo lobster tails and shrimp. And the Baltimore style Snow Crab Legs is to die for. Steamed with Old Bay. Divine.
My favorite seafood restaurant on the island. Friendly staff, great food, excellent prices. Can’t wait for some more crab!
jimMay 30, 2016I had surf and turf Nancy went with lobster and Elizabeth with softshell crab. We left very stuffed. Food was great.
Joe M.August 17, 2014Make sure you come here for lunch. The fisherman's platter gives you a ton of food, appetizers and dessert for a great price.- Natalie Cupid-RileyJune 22, 2014Broiled salmon was delicious! Snow crab legs Baltimore style excellent! New England chowder was great!! All round good food!!
Ronny OemrawApril 20, 2015Great service from staff. Food is very good. There is parking next to the restaurant.
LyssSeptember 19, 2010The platters for 2 are huuge -- great for sharing between 3-4 ppl...i loved being able to sample different seafood rather than having to choose btwn all the yummy entrees. cooked well, very tasty
✨Adrienne✨September 8, 2011One of the best seafood restaurants in City Island. Try the broiled shrimps and scallops - SLAMMIN'!!! and don't get me started on the drinks... love their mojitos!
Erik CintronFebruary 20, 2020Another place that has seafood in city island. I think there is nothing special. They have good lunch specials. But nothing that says this is the place to go over any other place on the island.
Martha Ecuadorian_BombshellJune 23, 2014They usually sit you down pretty fast and the food is fantastic! Great spot for seafood for sure.
Brownstone Living NYCAugust 21, 2015Yummy food.. Great drinks.. One problem- too humid and hot in there.. They need to open the windows.- Carol BriscoeSeptember 11, 2015Snow crab legs to start, then either twin lobster tails or a combo. Can't go wrong with either.
Matt KerestesyAugust 31, 2013The lunch special is a must! Insane amounts of food for $15-$20. Dinner portion servings for half the price.
REAL garlic bread keeps on coming - so good. Ask for anything broiled for a garlic butter crust mmm. Crab Lover's Dream = Heaven.
Mercella MJuly 29, 2012the food was great. surprised at how good the graham cracker crusted cheesecake was. definitely get with strawberries!
Lupe AlvaroFebruary 10, 2015Good food great service had the shrimps parmigiana with spaghetti my friend got crab legs
Autumn RayneSeptember 24, 2016If going to eat at a place with crab in it might as well try them was not disappointed with the large portion and they were so sweet hummm- Larry FontanaMay 7, 2013Great lunch deals! Had the mussels and snow crabs and both were amazing! Great service as well!
Brigitte PerezJuly 6, 2014Penne alla vodka was delicious and HUGE! Easily share with two or three people.
Donnalicious 🦖July 11, 2011the Feasts for Two are a tad smaller than Sammy's - but MUCH fresher/tastier and $30 less... the rice served underneath the shellfish is much softer and tastier as well.
Roll DEeSeptember 14, 2011Ask for Billy C . Best waiter in the place ! He is friendly , courteous , fast and you'll be sure to leave with a smile !
Marc KujawinskiAugust 8, 2014Crab legs and shrimp are amazing... And the drinks are in point as well
Shona TraylorAugust 4, 2013LUNCH. SPECIAL IS ALWAYS. GREAT. ALWAYS LEAVE FULL. WITH NO ROOM FOR THE FREE DESERT.

kristin ferraraMarch 23, 2012Best place for seafood on the Island. Native owned! Support local business!
Badr AlbannaJuly 4, 2015The fresh fish was delicious but the crab cakes were far too breaded for my taste.
- RobertAugust 20, 2017This use to be a good restaurant my last two visits the food was bad, my most recent visit I got very ill from eating at crab shanty in the bronx, severe abdominal pain.
Kathleen VargasAugust 7, 2015Love the garlic bread but didn't enjoy what I had! Wish I had ordered the king crab cause my bf was going in with it. And the New England clam chowder wasn't bad. Alittle salty but good to eat
