    The place is laid back and the food is very good. It takes sometime to come out but it comes out hot and cooked perfectly. The salmon was very good. It had a nice crust on top and was soft when chewing. It tasted very good. The shrimp in a bag was also very good. The sauce it came in was mild bit had goid heat and very flavourful. I appreciated that the shrimp was not overcooked or bitter. It was sweet and fresh. Staff was nice but they could be a little more attentive and check in a little more. The place smells good and the tables are simple. Definitely use the gloves and apron.

    I quite enjoyed my meal here. I was craving crab legs and this was one that popped up in Queens. They have a crab and shrimp combo for $55. The crab meat comes out so effortlessly. I got it in the flavor garlic butter with old bay. There were about 2 crab clusters and so many shrimp. I was able to get the shrimp headless but I also with the skin was removed. It was annoying having to peel it off for every piece. In addition to the seafood, it came with a corn piece and some potatoes but I also added garlic noodles. The meal was delicious overall and tasty. I got regular cocktails- a cosmo and passion fruit margarita. The cosmo was a decent size and boozy. In the end, we were offered complimentary shots and decided on tequila. I was very satisfied with my meal and cant wait to come back and use the %10 off discount.

    I traditionally have lobster on my birthday but also craved a seafood boil. My family and I stopped in last week to celebrate, we made a reservation but it honestly wasn't needed. We sat quickly and there were still seats available. My mom and I each had frozen daiquiris and boyfriend had a Sapporo. Service was OK but the food really delivered. I had 1 lb snow crab and 1 lb crawfish. My mom and boyfriend had lobsters. They estimated the size to be 1.5 lbs. I had mine mild with seasoning, theirs was mild. I had a lot of crawfish. The food was not overcooked. They shared some of the lobster with me. It was delicious and meaty. The waitresses were super kind and friendly to my toddler. He tries to befriend everyone he meets. The meal and drinks were about $200 with tip!

    Ordered takeout here on a Friday night through their website. The staff was very helpful when I called asking if they accepted credit card (they do) when ordering through their website (as the option online was just cash). I was surprised to see how empty the place was for dine-in but that just made my takeout order available faster. Would come back for dine-in, the store was dimly lit with warm reddish orange light and it looked like the perfect ambiance for a nice boil dinner with parties of 4. For takeout experience, the boils were contained in big and clear plastic bags, held securely with the aluminum foil container bases. It was securely packed so that the sauces didn't drip. I ordered the combo of lobster/shrimp with a mild oceanic boil sauce, 1 lb of shrimp with garlic butter, onion rings, and fries. The boil came with corn and potatoes. The onion rings came with a small container of bbq sauce. The fries came with spicy mayo. In comparison of the sauces, the oceanic boil sauce was flavorful compared to the garlic butter. The garlic butter is aromatic but lacked the flavor punches you get from the oceanic boil sauce. Highly recommend the oceanic boil sauce if you're looking for a signature sauce experience.

    I come here so often, bring new groups of friends & post about them on social media that 1) I should be sponsored and/or 2) get free meals here. I wanted to order the cajun gumbo last night but after seeing a review of someone saying it was bland, I didn't want to try it anymore. Anyways if you see this owner, feel free to reach out to me with your thoughts!

    Great food

    Great food. The shrimp and oysters were excellent and the sauce is on point. Very friendly staff too, great people. Very nice to have this place in Jackson Heights and will definitely be coming back!

    Came here without a reservation and got seated after a 45 min wait. Wish that the water wasn't served in a red solo cup for the price we're paying. Food was really good though. We got a combo and an additional 2 pounds of crab legs in their signature sauce. Soooo good, especially when you dip the potatoes in the extra sauce. Also got a side of Mac and cheese & garlic bread. Garlic bread was delicious and paired well with the seafood. Outside of the gloves being too big for our hands, everything was great and fresh. Would come again!

    Great way to start the New Year off right .This restaurant is very casual with the seating and they accept Apple Pay and Google pay .They've got a decently priced drink menu (recommended) as well as a lot of delicious appetizers to choose from (like seriously why was the Mac and cheese so good ?!?!) .The service is nice they seat you down give you the paper plate and cup makes sense to have paper and plastic items because that seafood boil sauce will stain as well as gloves and a bib .Me and my partner also had tried the fried calamari as well as just the crab legs combo boil with shrimp that we split (he's not into seafood boils but we share one ) .Just keep in mind the seasoning is a bit salty so next time I'd get the sauce on the side instead of in the boil bag .

    The garlic noodles here are SO good - I would order it on its own AND they're good when reheated too. The weekly special was grilled mussels with the seafood boil sauce and it was def worth grabbing for the table. The crab legs are good here, not rubbery! The flavors for the seafood boil aren't that spicy and could use more depth but it's a good spot if you're having a seafood boil craving. They also provide bibs and gloves if you don't want to eat directly with your hands.

    Ate here today for dinner after work as a substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 398 Q. I had ordered both the lobster roll and 8 pieces of raw oysters that it tasted really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive, quite good, fast and pleasant. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

    Lobster Boil Shrimp Boil

    Came here on a Sunday Afternoon, Ambiance is very relaxed and chill, Good atmosphere and decent customer service. I ordered the Lobster and shrimp boil combo. The lobster was okay 7.5/10, however the shrimp was not clean or deveined. Every bite of shrimp had an intestinal lining track. Onion rings were okay, the boiled potatoes were way too big! Damn near cut in half instead of 1/4 size pieces which are easier to cut. Overall this establishment can do way better to become a number.1 contender seafood restaurant in the area.

    We ordered... Fried Calamari 1 lb. Shrimp (sauce: Garlic Butter + Lemon Pepper) 1 lb. Shrimp (sauce: Oceanic Boil) French Fries (not pictured) White Rice Great place for seafood!! Food was served hot, fresh and full of flavor. But...get ready for a big mess! We ordered their shrimp, which you can get head on or off. It was very tasty and filling! The calamari was nicely seasoned and also came with Cajun fries. Their fries are also so crunchy. While it can get a bit messy, put on your bib and gloves and dig in

    Hi Daniel, Yes. Monday through friday

    How many orders of 1lb King crab legs would be good for 6 persons?

    TBH i didn't find 1lb crab worth the money. I would suggest you to choose shrimp. and 2/3 1lb crab leg would be enough

    Is happy hour currently available?

    Hi Natalie, Yes 3-7pm. Monday through friday.

    Are reservations required?

    Nope!

    Is there indoor dinner?

    Indoor dining is banned again till further notice due to increasing cases

    Is your Salmon with Butter sauce gluten free? I have a gluten allergy.

    Hi Niecey, Thank you for reaching us. Our Salmon cook proccessing and spices are glutten free. But… 

    Are the owners of this restaurant locals of Queens?

    yes

    Is there outdoor dining?

    Yes we do starting last night Natalia :)

    What is the best sauce?

    Definitely amazing

    I found a strand of hair in my crab cake. Can you please wear hair nets while you are preparing food in the kitchen?

    We always wearing hat and gloves and plus masks recently when we were back to open a week ago. But, i’m apologize for what happened. I’ll direct this issue to our kitchen… 

    Why is the pricing online different from the website/menu? For example, if I order online through yelp, it says $17 for 1 lb of shrimp but the menu says $15 per pound on the website. Which pricing is accurate?

    It's 15 for 1 lb as I'm looking at the menu here in the restaurant.

    Egg allergy alert: do the garlic noodles have eggs in their ingredients?

    Hi Monica, Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, one of the ingredients to make the noodle is… 

    Is the shrimp cleaned?

    If you're referring to the "vein", or the poop-chute, it's not possible to do so and keep the shell on (and all of that flavor in) at the same time.

    Hi, if I called in advance before coming, could my sauce be made with olive oil instead of butter? (Dairy-free alternative)

    Hi Abida, all of our sauce always made the time before we open our door to public (process could take up to 3 hours). You can always request olive oil on the side, but taste would be little different.… 

    What is your delivery radius?

    Hi Lili, i’m sorry for such late reply. Our delivery radius up to 1 mile.

    I don't see it listed on their website, what & when are the happy hour deals?

    Hi Karen. Our happy hour time is 4-7pm. Monday - friday

    Is everything boiled in the same pot (such as the seafood with meats like pork/sausage)?

    Hi Abidush, We dont boiled everything in the same pot. Meats mostly we used grill

    Does the restaurant have 1 dollar oysters for happy hr?

    Ye they do have. 3.30-7pm monday through friday.

    Is it possible to order everything out of the shell and the shrimp deveined?

    I don't think so. Part of the experience is doing the deshellng. however, I suggest calling them up and asking. They are a friendly staff, and the owner is extremely nice.

The bartender described mine as an elevated and slightly sweeter Old Fashioned with that smokiness, which was quite similar. I appreciate the little details from the handwoven coaster to the patterned orange peel. Great spot for a fancy cocktail or date night as they also offer tables in the back and a food menu.

When I arrived, I was not provided a reserved table and had to sit at the bar instead. That was disappointing since table seating was part of the advertised offer. The service during my visit was also inconsistent. My server (Vanessa) was often unresponsive when I tried to order additional drinks and food, and I had to follow up multiple times to get attention. At the end of the night, my bill showed approximately $88.50 in food and drinks plus an automatic 18% gratuity. I was told the gratuity was not included in the promotional credit. However, I was not given a full itemized receipt showing how my $120 credit was applied, only a partial receipt for the food and gratuity charges. Overall, the experience did not match what was advertised in terms of seating, clarity of billing, or service. I would recommend the venue improve transparency around promotions and ensure staff are properly attentive during events.
