    GRILLED Oysters (6)

    We had the grilled oysters, lobster roll, and lobster bisque. The food was very mediocre. The lobster bisque was a little too cheesy for my liking and the lobster roll wasn't particularly appetizing. The lobster roll had lettuce and some sweet sauce that was off-putting. We also did not get served water for our dinner which was unpleasant. The restaurant wasn't busy so I expected our server to be more interactive and present. Although the restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere with string lights, we are more likely to not return.

    We were a very large group on a Friday and Kelly was so gracious and kind to us. They can accommodate a solo diner to large groups and everyone eats well. Very generous portions and the bar is very very well done.

    In the ever-long search for a good lobster roll on Long Island I somehow came across Cajun Claws for a delivery dinner. Well I'll be as brief as this meal was. The lack of lobster, I really couldn't look past. I've had lobster rolls from a few places and this one took the cake for the biggest skimp job on lobster meat. It wasn't even inside the split roll, just placed on top to make it look "stuffed". It's a shame as the fries were very well seasoned with an old bay type of seasoning and the yuzu mayo was lovely. The lobster roll itself is unforgivable however, I tasted the buttered bread roll itself more than the lobster, and when you have to ration your meat, it makes for a tedious meal. My quest for a good lobster roll on Long Island continues.

    We.came here as a large group. They accommodate us. We order the shareable olatters. Comes with shrimp, mussels, scallops, potatoes, sausage. Plus other delicious food.

    After not dining here for over a year, my boyfriend surprised me on Valentine's Day with dinner here. My expectations were very high, as I had been dreaming about their seafood boils since the aforementioned last time we dined here. I was nervous the food wouldn't be as great because of the holiday and how long it had been since we last dined here, but I was wrong! My boyfriend and I started with their tangy chicken wings which in all honesty, were the crispiest wings I've ever had. The flavor was great and the portion was perfect. He ordered a blueberry margarita and was very impressed with it. Not overly sweet but not straight tequila as he put it "a perfect balance, thank god". Now for the main event. The boil. My boyfriend spoils he and we agreed we would do the ultimate boil and a smaller boil for us to share. It was the perfect amount of food. The ultimate came with potatoes and corn, for our main we chose the snow crab legs, crawfish and calamari in their original sauce with a mild spice level. The crab legs were phenomenal. Buttery, big pieces and something I'll be dreaming about until next time. The calamari was okay, definitely not the shining star but still cooked perfectly and flavorful. The crawfish were also delicious. Next time we go we definitely wanna kick up the spice level, it wasn't enough for us but you live and you learn! For our smaller boil, we got scallops and mussels in the Cajun claw sauce with a medium spice. That was the best decision we made. The sauce was extraordinary. I couldn't stop dipping EVERYTHING in it. The mussels were a stand out and everything was perfectly cooked. We had an amazing time here for Valentine's Day and I would love to personally shout out our waitress who did a great job for her first day! Not an easy gig taking on a holiday like this. The owner was also giving out roses to every lady as they left, while I didn't get one, he must have not seen us go, my experience was unforgettable.

    Patchogue in Long Island, New York is starting to really become busy with many businesses opening up in development and main street with plenty to do when you walk around. Cajun Claws if you're in the mood for anything seafood or boil, it sits right on main street and has a different variety on the menu. We came as a table of 13 people. Some of us were in the mood for an entrée or selecting a boil. I ordered the soft shell crab burger. I haven't had it anywhere else and wanted to try something new. Last time I came here I had a boil, but it was way too much for me and wanted to try the soft shell crab burger to switch it up. (I forgot to take pictures and make a review a couple of years ago when I came to Cajun Claws). The food was good, service was immediate and our waitress was attentive and always came back to check if we needed anything. The only part I would complain were the French fries were too crispy. I thought it was just my meal, but a few of us who had fries were also too crispy too. Overall, the food was delicious and fresh. Parking is readily available, whether you're on main street or going to park by the lot near Cajun Claws. We came on a Sunday, free parking was available. If you're up for a boil, seafood, come through to Cajun Claws. Plenty of time to walk around main street just in case you get a food coma!

    We wanted to get Cajun seafood boil for a long time, and we found this place in Patchogue! We started with half a dozen oysters, which were very fresh and plump! We also had the Lobster Bisque, which was ok at best. Then, we got the Ultimate Boil with snow crab, head-off shrimp, and little-neck clams with medium Cajun sauce. The flavor of the boil was ok... not too rich and did not have enough salt. There was also small potatoes and corn in the boil. We would probably try a different sauce if we came back here. Also, the clams in the boil were really disappointingly small and flavorless. *They have access to their own parking lot which has more lenient free parking than the street, which is to the right of the restaurant if you are standing at the entrance*

    My Husband and came here for lunch. We were seated right away. Service was quick. We ordered the grilled scallops for appetizers and Cajun fries . Both were delicious! And the calamari boil with extra corn. It was delicious as well. We enjoyed it and highly recommend. Just wish I had tried a drink. I guess on the next visit!

    Grilled oysters, delectable grilled scallops and asparagus. Will definitely come again!

During Summer Saturdays, there is a live band playing in the evenings, which is great for energy. Sometimes, it may get packed so try to get in early otherwise you might have to wait.

You can always find something to eat...appetizers - to snack or share, seafood, pasta, salad, or panini. Go give them a try if you are in the area.

After ordering few beers and appetizers we were constantly asked by our server whether we ready to place another order it was almost borderline harassment to place additional orders. When we did receive the main dishes I was very disappointed in the quality. The chicken panini resembled a chicken burger patty that was both cold and tasteless. Even the cures were cold and slightly soggy. The burgers were slightly better luke warm but cooked and prepared to my guests request. The beers and music made up for a disappointing lunch/dinner. Restaurant featured a full bar along with outside seating overlooking the local marina. Tiki Bar appears to be a local favorite based on the number of customers who were acknowledged by name by the staff and like I said maybe it was an off day for the staff but I'll think I'll stick to the drinks next visit.

    So 2026 did not come in hot for me. My little romances with Italian Mr. Big and my half-Italian…read moreAiden? Yeah... both fizzled. On top of that, my damn car decided to up and die, so I've been bleeding money on Ubers just to get to and from work. I even had to go into work on my day off just to sit around waiting for the tow truck so they could junk it. Love that for me. After I handled business with the junkers, I said eff it and headed to Whiskey Neat. I was starving--no breakfast, running on fumes--and since my job's in Patchogue, I figured I'd finally try them for lunch. First of all... happy hour on a Saturday from 12-6?! Uhhh hello?? In my Angelina from Jersey Shore voice. And if you pay cash, you get the discount. Say less. They've got a fabulous small plates menu. I started with the French onion soup--ooey gooey mozzarella, cheese pull was undefeated. Soup was delicious too. I haven't had French onion in ages and it really hit. Then I had the pulled pork slider, which was really good, but BABY... those short rib croquettes? To. Die. For. I also had to get my classic deviled eggs. A little heavy-handed on the paprika, but still solid. Drinks were half off, so of course I indulged. Started with an espresso martini because I needed something to jumpstart my day. Then I had a French martini because duh--I'm a French girl ‍. That one was good. Finished with my classic cosmo. Not gonna lie, I've had better, but it did what it needed to do and helped me forget my troubles for a couple hours. Also great playlist of music. I got there and they were playing Ska. Love me some Reel Big Fish and No Doubt. Mixed with some Motown and Bob Marley. Made me remember the good old days.

    When in search of a place that would make my family of picky eaters happy (ie: a vegan, a…read morevegetarian, a traditionalist, and two that try to make the other three happy but like good food), WhiskeyNeat appeared like a gods-send on Yelp. I've been to Main Street Patchogue a few times before and I'm always amazed at how it's now like Huntington, with tons of eateries, bars and places to hear live music. It was a busy late Spring Friday night and my cousin told me if we were there just two weeks later (ie, post Memorial Day), there would have been lines to get in anywhere. So make resos! I made one easily earlier that day and when we arrived around 7:30, it was not packed, but it is pretty loud in there even half full. Our waiter, Jonathan, expertly took such great care of us from start to finish, even taking my father's dad jokes in stride. There's a solid cocktail menu, but I had a couple glasses of a better-than-decent prosecco. My cousin loved his espresso martini. For food, count on a couple respectable vegan entrees and I went with the Japanese eggplant with cashew ricotta. The eggplant is delicious, slightly sweet with a creamy rather than chewy (thank god) texture. The cashew ricotta is also tasty, but I do think it needed to be blended a bit more to remove the slightly grainy texture (the cashews might have needed more soaking). My father loved his French onion soup and pastrami sandwich. Separate paragraph for the fries. They deserve it. I'm glad we ordered these to share- it's an enormous platter of them. I appreciated that they were salted perfectly. I appreciate restaurants that can make satisfy a variety of preferences and dietary restrictions. The vibe here is festive and vibrant and a great choice for groups and families.
