    GREAT!! Fried shrimp. Their batter looks like it's a cornmeal mix, which makes it a bit like a high puppy. The service was fantastic and I enjoyed how helpful they were. Will definitely be back around another time. The rest of their food looks amazing too, but the employees recommended the fried shrimp specifically. Cocktail sauce is spicy and they have great homemade tartar!

    Top of the Rock just leveled up! Introducing the Skylift -- the brand new glass platform that lifts you 30 feet above the 70th-floor observation deck, floating you over 900 feet above Manhattan. The moment it started to rise, I was speechless -- epic views of Central Park, the Empire State Building, and the entire NYC skyline all around me. As it rotated, I felt like I was in a movie scene. Then the floor went transparent... absolutely wild. Went at sunset, and the city lights + LED glow from the platform made it feel like a futuristic sky lounge . It's $35 extra on top of the regular Top of the Rock ticket, but so worth it for that adrenaline rush and those unforgettable photos. NYC, you never disappoint. Would you dare to step onto the Skylift? #TopOfTheRock #Skylift #NYCViews #CityThatNeverSleeps #TravelGoals #foodieinthebigapple2025

    I love this place! We went to the aquarium near here after riding on the subway for almost two hours to get here, hung out at the beach for a little bit, and were so hungry and ready to eat! I got chicken tenders and fries, the chicken tenders were very good, a little bit too much crispy part though. I don't mind that part though I loved them. My mom got the lobster roll and she also liked hers! After we finished our food, we were ready for dessert and we got soft serve ice cream, yummy! I loved the ice cream and the food. The vibe of the place was great, nice music playing and tables to sit at. The people were kind, I think the girl taking our order was new because she was asking her coworker about how to open up the cash register and stuff, but she did a great job! I had leftovers of the chicken tenders and I ate them the next day. Sadly, I did throw them up but I don't think it had anything to do with the food or quality of it, I was motion sick and had already been looking at my phone for a while (don't worry I wasn't driving.) So definitely come here if you like food like this! Also, for some reason the website said it was closed but then we walked in the direction of it and it was open, which was weird but I don't mind!

    While taking a break from Luna park, I order their Lobster roll ($26) and their chicken tenders and fries combo. The lobster roll was really fresh and delicious. I would've went back and ordered another one if it was not $26 that was how good it was. The chicken tenders and fries were pretty good for an amusement park restaurant. It was tasted freshly made. That is all I can ask for.

    We wanted to have lunch and spotted this outside the amusement park. It's was very packed limited seating and we were eyeing the lobster roll. For $26 it better be good! Competing against others for seats. The lobster roll was very fresh and tasty but a bit pricey. The chicken tender was ok and so as the fries.

    The drinks are strong. The shrimp was ok. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great. I'm just enjoying Coney Island as a tourist and this place caught my eye. Right on the boardwalk, it's not hard to miss. I wanted to try the corn dog, but I'm guessing I came too late. Even though the shrimp was just ok, I'm sure I'll still come back. My son finished off the rest of the shrimp from the plate and we headed down the boardwalk.

    Fried clams ($10ish) and Watermelon margarita ($18ish)- very tasty clams and marg with no buzz... :-(

    I don't understand the subways. Running the streets with 2 teens and a small child had my nerves on level TEN. We ended up at Coney Island and I was in need of an adult beverage and a snack while the kiddos frolicked in the sand. Like a couple of the others yelpers said, I didn't expect much from this stand...didn't look like much. The fried clams and watermelon Margarita grabbed my attention on that hot summer day. The clams were, shockingly very tasty! No overly thick batter, not chewy, not greasy! Very light! That tarter sauce tasted homemade with fresh dill and pickle chunks! The drink tasted delicious and refreshing but unfortunately, it was a little on the weak side. I get it, they don't intend for one to get "turnt up " but $18 for a yummy slushee in a plastic cup seemed a bit steep...we are not longer in Dallas...(although Dallas is slowing turning into NYC) . I digress, It definitely hit the spot in my time of need. When I'm in the area again, you'll see me at Paul's Daughter!

    Lobster Roll
    Pamela P.

    Good affordable seafood right in front of the beach, we had the lobster roll, fried shrimp, calamari, clams strips with fries, corndog and for beverages beer and the frozen strawberry margarita. Everything was great specially the lobster roll and shrimp, the calamari were not as soft and lacked flavor and the clam strips that felt like fried flavored flour with no filling. I wouldn't order them again. Coney Island is not famous for its high quality food and Nathan's is probably the most popular option but since I was looking for something different I found this place online and the overall experience was good, is good to have alternatives rather than average pizza slice and hotdogs. They have seating area outside which most restaurants lack in the boardwalk and that's a plus. Their menu also includes non seafood items for picky palates. Like hamburger and chicken tenders. I would definitely come back and would recommend, service was nice and fast.

    Frozen Strawberry Margarita

    Cute spot for a drink or two. The food didn't look appealing to me but it's nice to sip a frozen strawberry margarita and a "Bramble On" and enjoy the ocean.

    TLDR: Essential Coney Island food! Come for the raw cherry stone clams. Vibe: 4/5. Situated right on the Coney Island boardwalk, Paul's Daughter is a ginormous walk up food stand serving up seafood and beach food favorites. Even though this is a predominately walk up style restaurant, they do offer a few tables and chairs for patrons to sit and enjoy their food. The counter layout is pretty straight forward, with several registers where you can order the menu. With that being said, there is only 1 place on the far right where you can order the raw clams (near the shucking station). Service: 4/5. The staff at Paul's was friendly, quick and efficient during our 4th July visit. We were able to belly up to the raw bar counter and order the entire menu, with our food coming out shortly after. At peak hours, lines can get a little hectic with not always the best sense of organization, but that can be said with any walk up restaurant on the boardwalk. Food: 5/5. Serving up all of your favorite beach foods, Paul's Daughter goes a great job in execution. On our lunch visit, we ordered a few corn dogs, clam strips, fries, calamari and the the raw cherry stone clams on the half shell. As to be expected, the fried foods were tasty and enjoyed by all. Perfectly friend and with generous portions. The highlight of the meal were the raw cherry stone clams. Shucked fresh to order, the clams were ginormous in size and offered a great eating experience. The clams were firm and steak like in texture but with a sweet and salty taste that some may say is more palatable than raw oysters. At $19 a dozen, not a terrible value when considering the touristy location. Overall, if you find yourself craving some quick seafood bites on the boardwalk, you can't go wrong with Paul's!

    vibes are so cute and beachy

    Lobster roll was surprisingly good, very fresh lobster!! Chill, cute, dive bar beach vibes. Kind service even though you order at the front. I would skip the frozen marg, it was small and watery. Otherwise good. $26 Lobster roll, $12 Frozen Marg

    Rude bartenders and tiny drinks. I ordered a $14 paloma and this is what I got. Rip off. Add more mixer if you need to.

    Great place for some beach eats. I had a good knish, and the the clam strips were great. There's just something about eating by the ocean.

    Oh K-Dog - Crispy Fried Korean Rice Hot Dogs!

    Cute little Korean dog place! I ordered the premium beef Potato dog, which came out crispy and…read moretasty. There's a variety of sauces available too and the dog itself is really big. The service was also super fast, about 5-6 minutes from when my order was placed to my hands. There's no seating, but it's easy to walk around and enjoy the city with. I tried the garlic sauce and loved it. I opted not to add sugar to mine but I have had it with sugar before and it is good!

    OhK-Dog on Orchard Street is a fun & flavorful twist on the classic corn dog. These Korean rice…read moredogs are made with rice flour instead of cornmeal, giving them a super crispy texture & a unique flavor that sets them apart. I went for one filled with gooey mozzarella--so satisfying--and loved how it still kept the nostalgic corn dog look. There are over a dozen creative configurations, including versions with potato cubes or rice cakes, each with its own quirky appeal. Once you choose your dog, there are 2 more steps: pick a dry topping (I chose cinnamon sugar, which added a sweet-savory contrast) & finish it off with sauces from a lineup that includes ketchup, mustard, gochu hot sauce, and sweet chili. My only wish is that there was actual seating (it's more of a grab-and-go spot) & the wall being wide open made it feel a bit drafty. Still, the food is worth it. Definitely a fun East Village stop if you're craving something indulgent & out of the ordinary.
