Johnny's Famous Reef Restaurant

Everything is freaking great. Been coming here for over 10 years. The Manhattan clam chowder is delicious. The fish and chips and the shrimp and chips basket is awesome. Definitely recommend!!

Crowded so don't bring in a stroller! Food is great. Have cash, they don't take debit/credit. You can eat inside IF you find space or outside on the water.

The piña colada at this (cash only !) seafood joint is only $6 —it's a basic drink, whipped up with a special house mix and a lot of Bacardi, but it'll smooth out that long ride back on the 4 train . Read more

Has prices tacked up on placards around the ceiling, and bargain-basement fish , clams , oysters , and frogs legs , all fried and served with french fries and washed down with milkshakes . Read more

Basically everything is good here. Steamed or grilled lobster Mmm. Clam strips piled high. Hennessy piña colada , patrón piña colada , ANY piña colada ha ha. Super cheap beer .

Been coming here since i was a kid & my parents before me,best spot in city island for cheap food and great drinks.Try the tomatoe clam chowder and squeeze some lemon i promise you wont be disapoi

Cash only , but big portions make it a decent value . Plenty of outside seating and a portion of the patio has a retractable roof that can be closed to protect from the weather.

Anyone who knows what's up drives past all the pretenders and heads to Johnny's. Fried clams , and throw the scraps to NY's most acrobatic seagulls.

Go for their specialties-fried food! Do NOT get the corn , looked like it had been there for days... the fried fillet was delicious.

Dens was right steamed shrimp with garlic and butter is the way to go. Place was a bit thuggish but was an experience. Make sure to walk around and take pictures near the dead end blocks.

Unless you want to get roasted alive or shat on, do not sit outside. The food was delicious: think big portions of fried seafood that makes you want to weep tears of joy. Split the fried shrimp .

This is a great place for cheap seafood ,but they also have chicken,burgers , and other things as well . TRY the $4 drinks, can't go wrong with that price! loved this place <3 i will come again~

I always want to try something different, but the fried lobster tails are too good! Don't feed the birds, while eating. You'll have a swarm, that won't go away.

For quick seafood without the long wait . Cafeteria style with convenience. All the varieties of seafood you could want!

Strongest drink is the Planter's punch for $7! Or get a Henny Colada if you want something a little sweet ($11).

If you want decent seafood and a water view in a very casual setting...this place works! Eat the fried shrimp (yum!)...but stay from the fried clams (not good!).

Cash only , self service. Nice outdoor seating . Beer $3-4 and seafood $12-15 for almost any plate, that btw can easily be shared (they are big).

Food and dranks are good and prices are affordable !!! Dats a good 1-2-3 combo .... Good enuff for a K.O. !!! Thiz spot iz CASH only ... But ATM iz available on da spot !!!

The clams here are huge and fresh. The best on the island . Skip the fried shrimp though, they are small compared to other places.

Great price great food Piña Coladas awesome!!! Great way to spend time with great friends!

Very good clam chowder . The white is better.

Can't go wrong with the fried shrimp . The fried baskets come with a lot of fries -- be warned.

Can’t go wrong with the fish and shrimp here.

Great place for a cheap seafood meal. Fried soft shell crabs are a good deal given the portion size. Grab and eat outside on picnic tables with a nice view of the water.

They are open from 11am Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. :)

$14 for the softshell crab basket is a steal! It's my favorite menu item here.

I know you want the fried shrimp , but trust me, get the steamed shrimp with butter and garlic . Get half lemonade , half ice tea and skip the corn .

Cheap booze. Cant go wrong with a $5 Piña colada or $2.25 beer can.

The Fried shrimp are nice & juicy, and the tartare sauce better than you might expect. Watch out for bones in the whiting though.

Low brow and low key dining. You are welcome to bring a giant beach umbrella to get out of the sun.

Skip the soggy fries . The Piña coladas on the other hand are a must have!

Had the raw Oyster 's so fresh and tender delicious!!!

Steamed shrimp with garlic , corn on the cob and a salad with homemade dressing ! Delish!

Good food. Would be a nice summer spot with there outdoor seating area .

Love the fried shrimp and clam strips .. decent price for the clam bar !

Always come to the end of the end road

Everything, as long as it's called seafood .

Tonys was much better .. but it burned down so I guess if you don't want to eat @ any of the other 80 restaurants this will do... the crowd is kinda ghetto.. especially in the Summer months .

relaxing, light breading on scallops !! yum

If you like eating greasy seafood in a hot parking lot this is your place. Drinks are cheap at least.

Quick and cheap ... Love it! Also best drinks ever!!!

That's my motherfucker spot right there all day everyday

Cash only . But you probably have enough in your pocket.

Come during the week. It's infested with the GHETTO during the weekend.

Their Calamari is great + beautiful women all around

Great steam seafood !!! I LOVE the soft shell crabs !!

Daiquiri 's and Littlenecks are the way to go. Soft shell crabs aren't so bad either!

I love my sea creatures battered and deep fried with tarter sauce on the side!

Fried everything is delish!

Come early; grab a few Piña Coladas ; grab dinner elsewhere.
