    Fish delicious
    Elisa R.

    Warmly welcomed. Seated immediately Water and delicious garlic butter bread which was toasty and wonderful. Fish was cooked to temperature. Drinks were fresh and crisp and delightful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place gets SUPER busy... so ensure to come early.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar is a great place to have a cocktail and an appetizer while waiting for the table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Valet is accommodating for everyone especially those needing a little assistance. A must try...

    Came to Popei's on a Saturday night while visiting friends in Long Island. Thank God we had a reservation because the place was packed out. After eating I can see why! First off there is valet parking so no need to panic when you pull up to the small parking lot. Second, make a reservation, especially if it's the weekend. Third, come hungry... there are so many delicious options and the seafood is extremely fresh. We were a party of 8 so we ordered a bunch of different options, even the kids enjoyed everything. Prices are average and this establishment is definitely family friendly. From what I could see, you can tell this restaurant has regulars so be prepared to fall in love and keep coming back for more!

    This is a must try place!! Food here was delicious especially the 2 lbs Steamed Lobster w Butter!! Their bread was crack!! New England Clam Chowder & calamari were both delicious & fries were crispy & yummy too!!! Soft Shell crab was good just too much breading!! Service was excellent!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was nice as well!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I could eat Popei's Pork Chop every single day. 3x a month is not enough! That's how Yum this is!

    What can you say about a local place with amazing seafood and Joe behind the bar and kitchen. Shelby makes an amazing expresó martini and if you sit at the bar the ambience is "Cheers" like. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You make friends with the regulars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is quick and attentive but the reason you come here is the food. The food is perfectly on spot. The Long Island bisque is an amazing blend of white and red clam chowder. The mussels in lobster sauce are orgasmic (lol) and the steaks and chops are perfectly cooked. I have been coming here for years and realized that I had yet to post this review for fear of losing my seat at the bar.

    Took the wife out for Mother's Day and we haven't been here in a bite and man did we have a great meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First the location is small but it does pack a HUGE punch![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sat across from the bar at a high top, the bartender was our server and he was super friendly and knowledgeable. We started with some garlic bread for the table (complement of the house) and then some calamari (delicious) and mozzarella sticks (average). For entrees my wife had the snow crab dinner which she absolutely loved with a side of Cajun waffle fries. My son and I had the strip steaks. I had side of angel hair with garlic and oil and he had the straight fries. The steaks came with vegetables and corn on cob. Everything we had was delicious and the flavors were on point. So a side note, this location is in a strip of stores and parking is tight BUT they provide valet service which is a bonus in my book and the crew outside is great. If you're looking for tasty fresh seafood or a delicious hot steak this is your place!

    Popei's (pronounced like the Sailor Man) is in a strip mall. It has gotten so popular over the years that they now have valet parking. We just always park across Wantagh Avenue. It's easier. The ambiance is nothing to speak of with 2 rooms, the bar area, and the main dining room. Unfortunately, as soon as you walk in, there's a horrible smell that lingers that has been there for all the years we've gone. Is it mold? Is it the bathroom all the way in the back? Is it dirty rags they use to clean this place? We don't know. Luckily the service and food make up for it. As soon as we sat down, our waitress came with the most delectable garlic bread and asked us if we wanted drinks. She came back in what seemed like moments. We ordered appetizers: I had the biggest, chewiest, cherrystone clams on the half shell with lemon and a nice horseradishy cocktail sauce. I've been into oysters lately, so when I ordered these clams, I forgot how delectable they were. Fresh and briny perfection. Hubby got the Long Island Chowder which is a mix of both Manhattan and New England Chowder. Again, perfection. For the main meal, hubby got an everything seafood pasta and I got a seafood pasta covered in Ricotta and Mozzarella with broccoli (must have those greens!) mixed in. We each took home more than half. We'll each add more pasta to our dishes as there was so much seafood in our dishes. Leftovers for days! Our waitress even remembered to ask about the email giving me $15 off my meal as a birthday gift. Great freebie! I would say go. Definitely. Just be warned about those couple of things and you'll have the best time.

    Visited my favorite Clam bar and had the crab legs which were at a "Market Rate" of 60.dollars. i was not disappointed! Everything was delicious right down to the Baked Potato and Broccoli with a few steamed Carrots. My friend had the swordfish which she said was really good. We also enjoyed our server. I think her name was maybe Kayla? I know she was a kindergarten teacher. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was so lively and warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We even had a great time with table buddies![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Took dessert to go. Chocolate cake, (not so good), and Red Velvet! Hey Joe, can a sis get a little key lime pie? This is where you want to go when you want to eat ....and feel the Love!

    Pick 2 Lobster & Crab Legs

    I've been coming to Popei's since I was a kid. It's always been good, but I think I'm bold enough to say that it's somehow gotten even better over time (or maybe I'm just old enough to appreciate it for what it is). There are few places you can go and eat this well at any price point, but the constantly evolving specials and weeknight all you can eat deals really allow you to get a true bang for your buck. Service is swift and friendly, ambiance is a very casual come as you are type of vibe. The garlic bread they have here is the best you'll ever have and should not be missed. This time around I tried the new "pick two" combo - I went with crab legs and a lobster, plus it came with a salad. My family also got the expectant lobster, a whole lobster stuffed with crabmeat and shrimp, which is outstanding. The steamers here are always fresh, sweet and delicious, and the jumbo shrimp cocktail truly lives up to its name. If you haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for?

    We had a family dinner here one Saturday evening. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Because they were busy, we sat in the tent out back which was quieter and still warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server was great -- very friendly and checked on menu items to verify gluten wasn't in them. I only got a few photos of what we all ordered, but the food by in large seemed fresh and in large quantity. For dessert, we told them about a birthday and everyone sang! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It felt like a being in a comfy seafood home dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Aba H.

    Update. Same as last time, [[HIGHLIGHT]]more crowded[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], different dishes, food was excellent (see photos below), very friendly staff (our waitress gave me a big hug before we left, even after I told her approaching open arms that I was already spoken for, which she dismissed as "cute," and smiling owner/chef shook my hand with a strong grip). It's a keeper.

    Hands-down their service is top tier. Every staff member in the room are friendly and pays attention to you. Warm smiles and welcomes are bouncing all over. Almost everything we had so just plain and simply good. One can debate over salt level, but that's personal preference. Really enjoyed their sweetened iced tea that was not so sweet! Will return soon!

    I recommend this place!! We ordered the blackened sword fish with vegetables and  accompanied by a baked potato. If you never tried sword fish it is like eating a piece of steak! It isn't flaky, but firm enough that you have to cut with a knife. Delicious! Our favorite fish to eat. Never a fishy taste!! The second dish we got was lobster tails with vegetables accompanied by a baked potato. This was good but on the saltier side! I would definitely try this place. Ambiance and decor very lovely. Good service as well!

    Are they still offering AYCE snow crab?

    What time does the lunch menu end and the dinner menu start? Thanks.

    Lunch menu ends at 4:00 but, the dinner menu is served all day and night!!

    Yes we do!!

    What's the price on the AYCE CRAB LEG SPECIAL?

    Hi. They are $58.99.

    Any recommendations for someone who does not eat seafood? FYI, I have no choice in the matter as it was my FIL's pick for his bday dinner. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    I personally like the chicken parmigiana and the chicken marsala is good too

I arrived after missing the 3:00 p.m. lunch special, so before ordering I specifically asked the waitress if the dinner special was still available. She said yes. I then asked a second time if it was still $29.99 for one appetizer, one entrée, and one dessert. Again, she said yes. Based on that information, my guest and I ordered our meals. When the bill arrived, it was over $104. I immediately questioned it because it didn't match what I had been told. The manager came to the table and informed me that they no longer offer the dinner special. The waitress then admitted, in front of everyone, that she had told me the special was available. At that point, the restaurant had a choice: stand behind the information their employee gave a customer or refuse to take responsibility. They chose the latter. The manager's response was simply, "Sorry, you have to pay for everything," followed by, "The waitress will have to pay for her mistake." That is not my concern. As a customer, I relied on the information your employee provided--twice. Had I been told there was no special, I would have ordered differently. Expecting a customer to absorb the cost of your employee's mistake is unacceptable. What was even more disappointing was the complete lack of professionalism, empathy, accountability, or any attempt to resolve the issue. No effort to honor the quoted price, no partial discount, no goodwill gesture--nothing. Great customer service isn't about never making mistakes. It's about taking ownership when mistakes happen. This restaurant failed completely. You didn't just lose a loyal customer today--you lost future business and countless referrals. I will never return, and I certainly won't recommend this establishment to anyone. Accountability starts with management. Today, your management failed

Hawaiian Kitchen, based in Bethpage, absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the start, they were incredibly easy to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I had originally requested 2-liter bottles of soda, but since they didn't have them in stock, they proactively delivered individual cans instead to ensure our team had plenty of drinks. Now, for the food--it was phenomenal. Our office hasn't stopped raving about it! The Coconut Shrimp and Grilled Shrimp were huge hits, and the Angus Steak was incredibly tender. Even the Chicken Fried Rice was a standout, and all of their signature sauces were delicious. They also did a large house salad for us with the most incredible Ginger dressing. I had numerous people ask me where I found them, and I couldn't wait to order for their next small house parties or to pick up dinner on the way home. It was all so fresh and not greasy. We also ordered spring rolls that were so light and crispy, pineapple fried rice that was really delicious, and marinated chicken and steamed broccoli. If you're looking for reliable catering that people will actually get excited about, I can't recommend Hawaiian Kitchen enough. THANK YOU for making me look like a superstar!
