Re visited this restaurant and it was a waste . The clams were overcooked and tough and they are very heavy on the seasoning to were the food tasted salty. The workers also had a nasty attitude when I told them the clams were tough and did not Try to solve the issue .The parking is also horrible . Just take the drive to go to el puerto seafood Harlem ! read more

Food is regular, nothing crazy . I would go back I normally get steamed shrimp . When Bucca is there is 100% !! Overall good place when you're craving seafood read more

Found this place on Tik tok and i was starving. I was thinking this is nothing crazy just a good plate of food. When I got there I saw a lot of people coming in and out so that was the first indicator that it was good food coming my way. The lady at the cash register was real nice and friendly , gave me recommendations on what to get, what sauces and etc. I ended up getting a platter with crab legs , shrimp, rice and steamed vegetables. All of this was absolutely delicious. It came out to $31 and it was worth every single penny. The quality + quantity + price = perfection and that is all we as eaters ask for. It seems like this place is already popular so I'm gonna hop on the hype train and spread the word . Definitely coming back. read more

Foods good. Overpriced for sure due to having to set up your order for a plate combo at individual prices. Therefore the serving is dependent on how much you will budget. Service was okay. Ambiance is pretty much fish market feeling. Your well off calling in an order for pickup and eat it in your car. read more

I called a pickup order on 2/23 around 9:30pm. I was told that my order would be ready in about 20 min, my son went to pick it up on time to only be told that the food is not ready. The girl in front had him waiting for exactly 22 min until another female employee asked what is he waiting for. That 2nd female EE then tried discreetly to let the 1st girl know that the food was already sitting there. So my $65 order was sitting there the whole time, and lied about it when my son called them out on it by saying "no, it just came out". The food was cold, the lobster mac n cheese was horrible, the cheese and all items was cold and hard. The fried fish and shrimps were soggy from sitting in containers that were already hot, now cold!!!! As a first time customer, this will be my last time. This was unacceptable! read more

This is by far the best seafood spot around. Everything was fresh and delicious. Buca's hospitality was priceless. The ambiance made my sister and I stay longer than expected. Will visit again and again read more

Buca is ON point every time. The salmon and shrimp Philly or the fried platter are my go to. I love this place

First time visiting this seafood spot . I honestly will only order steam seafood next time. I don't usually eat fry food , so for me it was definitely oily. Very small location and extremely busy . NOT GOOD FOR FAMILY TO SIT AND EAT. NO FOR KIDS TOO . Mostly take out . I recommend this place if you want some steamed seafood. read more

Today was definitely an experience to were I will no longer return. My food was done in a timely manner but there was hair food in my food and there receptionist was very rude. The plus was that they remade my food. read more

Was craving seafood and I'm glad I came across this spot in Paterson. It was recommended by Yelp in my collections tab and boy am I happy I found this place. I created my platter starting with 3 fried shrimp, 1 fried lobster tail, corn on a cob and rice and veggies. I never tried fried lobster before but I did ask the gentlemen on the phone if it was worth trying and he said it's very good fried so I trusted his word and I'm glad I did, I literally devoured the lobster and shrimp. I ordered takeout and when I arrived to the place and drove back home which is about 10-15 min away the plate was still extremely hot . The portion size for rice and veggies can feed easily two people. I was disappointed because I wanted clams but they didn't have any so hopefully next time I order they will have some! Looking forward to coming back and trying their other items! read more

Yo! I came here with my cousin. He put me on to this place. The food is BOMB! Kinda pricey but worth it. You gotta be careful with what you order because one lunch can easily set you back 50 bones. But you are very likely to have leftovers for dinner. Oh.. And they don't mind if you go to the LQ down the street and bring in a six pack to have with your food. It's not a "date spot" unless you have a cool chick who doesn't mind making a mess. I'll be going back. Chick or no chick. read more

OMG where do I begin .... Mother's Day was approaching and my baby wanted seafood on the water so I was going to head all the way over to City Island in the Bronx. Mother Nature has different plans and it decided to rain so those plans got cancelled. I felt bad and started looking for local seafood spots on Yelp when I stumbled upon this amazing gem in Paterson. When you walk in the seafood is laid out fresh in ice. You choose what you want then tell them if you want it steamed or fried and just take a short walk, grab a shake across the street at banana king or just stand there and watch protection being cooked. The two guys working there were amazing and fast. They cooked everything perfectly and even gave me xtra Cajun when I asked him for it. The rice and vegetables will literally feed two people which truly shocked me for the price. The corn made my mouth water all the way home and my mouth is watering as I write this lol If you are from the area or passing by you have to stop by for their food! I order three platters with snow crab legs scallops shrimp rice corn and mixed vegetable PLUS an order of extra hot wings thinking they would be in those styrofoam containers but boy was I shocked when I got 3 full silver trays and only paid like 60 something plus I tipped because it's well deserved. Anyways go there I promise you will not regret it! It saved me an hour trip to the bronx and saved me about $100!!! read more

I love whole in the wall spots. Sometimes they are the best places to eat. So we opted to try out a few things since the place recieved such reviews. We ordered fried and steamed food. They appear to season everything with the same old bay looking seasoning. So why did the food lack flavor? No real melted butter to add. Fried shrimp overdone!!! Steamed clams (a tough rubbery mess) and snow crabs.. overdone.. extremely disappointing. Waist of money!! Suggestion..just walk on by. Go to city island.. red lobster... anywhere else lol read more

This is a nice seafood spot. Everything is fresh and they have lots of sides and vegetable add ons. I had crab legs and shrimp, with corn and broccoli. The food was seasoned well and didn't take too long. I'll be returning. read more

This is the spot if you have a taste for some seafood and want a lot of food for your money. You select what type of seafood you want (fish, salmon, shrimp, crab, etc.), how you want it (steamed or fried). You can also have it served with yellow rice and your choice of vegetables. The guy puts everything to be steamed in the tin platter, adds butter and seasonings and then steams it. It's ready relatively quickly and always hits the spots. It's so good and chances are, after your first time you'll be wanting more relatively soon thereafter. read more

This is literally THE BEST seafood you will ever encounter. Me and my boyfriend eat here at least once a week and it never fails. Affordable and tasty beyond belief! Fried shrimp, rice, vegetables. Can't forget the butter and old bay seasonings!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I can literally eat here every day lol! read more

I'm a New Yorker so I always find myself comparing. Seafood mehhhh.... It's your typical seafood "to go" spot. I only visited this place because a co-worker stated the food was great however, not the case and it doesn't help to get back home and find you are 4 items short! read more

five stars and here's why- first time here and the chef was super patient with me as i had zero clue how to order i was able to ask questions comfortably so yes that kindness in itself gained them a star ad for what i ordered i did two salmon patties ($5/1) with rice broccoli corn yams and tostones as sweet plaintain is no longer avail. my honeyhubs did 15 shrimp ($1/1) with corn broccoli red potatoes i say this because it is raw seafood being prepared fresh just be prepared to wait will be returning pics soon to come read more

If you want bomb ass wings, crazy good rice (ask for extra butter and seasoning it only makes it a million times more amazing) and delicious food all in all go here! Expect to wait 15-20 minutes for your food once you order but trust me it's worth the wait! And prices aren't bad at all... 10 wings and a take out tray filled with rice and a snapple for $14. Seemed normal for me! Don't miss out! Call your order ahead is my advice and make sure you do take out its right in there. read more

Worst seafood we have ever eaten. We were 4 people. Items that we ordered were clams, fried shrimp, mussels, crab legs, skirt steak caesar's salad, corn on cob etc. The clams were fishy tasting and salty. The fried shrimp were dry and bland. The mussels also fishy and I think that's what got my friend's wife sick.( probably food poisoning) the crab legs were just ok. Skirt steak was too rare and had to return it. 2nd time, it was obviously recooked and it tasted like rubber. The only decent item was the Caesars salad. We should have complained to the manager, but we were trying to be nice and decided not to say anything. My past experience is that if you complain, you don't know what your going to get in your food. read more

Ok, this place marks 5 stars in my book for value. No where else will you get a dozen scallops for $3, a dozen mussels for $6 and a jumbo sized shrimp for a $1 each cooked to perfection, not to mention all their other fresh selection of fish and shellfish. The flavor is there, just watch them sprinkle their house condiments gloriously over your food (and that butter sauce of course). You can tell them how much or little of it you want and they also provide a few sauces on the side if you like. The service, I have to say is attentive, friendly and efficient! They do an excellent job both here and their takeout spot across the street. They have various high tables for dining in. Unfortunately they have no low tables for those who might find it difficult to sit up that high and no high chairs for babies or toddlers. They offer bottled drinks to go but they have no cups to give you some water or for you to serve yourself your own beer/wine if you bring some. The parking in that area is super tough, to add another inconvenience. But honestly, these are minor compared to the food quality, friendly service and price you will pay for a great meal. read more
