Great 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 H

Great 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!

Been 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 Gray

One 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!

Jerrod

My favorite seafood restaurant on the island . Friendly staff , great food, excellent prices. Can’t wait for some more crab !

Phil Tang

A 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 Briscoe

A 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.

dara lynne

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!

I had surf and turf Nancy went with lobster and Elizabeth with softshell crab . We left very stuffed. Food was great.

Ronny Oemraw

Make sure you come here for lunch . The fisherman's platter gives you a ton of food, appetizers and dessert for a great price.

Broiled salmon was delicious! Snow crab legs Baltimore style excellent! New England chowder was great!! All round good food!!

✨Adrienne✨

One 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 !

Lyss

The 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

Martha Ecuadorian_Bombshell

They usually sit you down pretty fast and the food is fantastic! Great spot for seafood for sure.

Carol Briscoe

Snow crab legs to start, then either twin lobster tails or a combo. Can't go wrong with either.

Shona Traylor

Yummy food.. Great drinks.. One problem- too humid and hot in there.. They need to open the windows.

GADGETLOCK

Garlic bread is awesome n the red snapper . Be sure to leave a tip

Mercella M

Guy Flushing

Lobster , mussels , ice cream , coffee : the $18.99 special is fabulous.

Matt Kerestesy

The lunch special is a must! Insane amounts of food for $15-$20. Dinner portion servings for half the price.

Erik Cintron

Another 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 .

Marc Kujawinski

Crab legs and shrimp are amazing... And the drinks are in point as well

Linda

Great specials, friendly staff . & good food ! My pina colada was great!

Paula Harewood

Lobster and shrimp combo boiled and seasoned ...#Yummy

BxMimi72

Always a great amount of food! Always delicious! ????

Donnalicious ????

the 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 DEe
