    The food was out of this world . We got the Alaskan king crab legs and the snow crab legs and they were as fresh as can be . The service was 10 out of 10. Our waitress was so sweet and accommodating can not complain . The ambiance was really cute . Love it . Music was a bit too loud for my liking but besides that I would definitely return . They also offer valet which is a huge plus .

    We had a fantastic lunch at this restaurant today! The hospitality was top-notch from the moment we arrived. Our server, Gina V., was delightful, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. The owner, Joe, also stopped by our table to make sure everything was perfect, which truly showed how much they care about their guests. The last time I dined here, I ordered the 4-pound stuffed lobster, and it was so memorable that I couldn't resist ordering it again. It was just as delicious as I remembered--loaded with shrimp and scallops, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. I chose the New England clam chowder as my side, which was excellent as well. The portions were incredibly generous, and I ended up taking most of my meal home to enjoy later. My husband ordered the stuffed shrimp and flounder combination and loved it. He said the fish was very fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Once again, we left thoroughly satisfied.

    Delicious food with huge portions. The staff is always pleasant and accommodating. Every dish is fresh and made to order.

    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!!! Ambiance was nice as well!!

    Mussels Pot with white wine, garlic & oil (dinner menu/$23)...incredible!! Especially with their garlic bread for dipping!

    I haven't been to Popei's in many years and was happy to see that they're still around! On this occasion, we went for a friend's birthday lunch. They have a lunch and dinner menu, with lots of selections! We wanted to dine family-style, so 3 of us shared 3 items from their lunch & dinner menus, and 2 desserts: -- Complimentary Garlic Bread: Fantastic!! We asked for extra so we could have it with our mussels pot. -- Mussels Pot with white wine, garlic & oil (dinner menu/$23)...Incredible!! So flavorful! Especially with their garlic bread for dipping! This was our favorite dish, and the perfect portion for 3 ppl to share. Get this! -- Pompei Special: a variety of seafood over linguini w.butter garlic sauce (lunch special/ $24): this was good but slightly bland. It would have been better with the white wine garlic & oil sauce from the mussels pot. But the seafood was fresh and plentiful. -- Stuffed Flounder w.lump crab meat and veg (lunch special/$19): very good. This was a lunch portion, so not ideal for sharing but a great meal for one person. -- Spumoni Truffle Ice Cream ($11): this came cut in 4 pieces, and was easy to share. Delicious and very satisfying! -- Tiramisu ($12): this was good but ordinary. I would try something else next time. This was a great meal. We wanted to have soft shell crab but it was still a little early in the season, so we'll have to come back next month to have some! Customer service was welcoming and friendly. There's a small parking lot in front of the restaurant. It wasn't a problem during lunch but I can see it being more difficult during dinner and weekends.

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

    It's an absolutely amazing restaurant.

    Good afternoon, Well, finally got back to a wonderful seafood restaurant. This past week was restaurant week and the place was jumping. As always, we are never disappointed with the service or the food. This restaurant has truly found the magic that makes this business hop. I suggest downloading his app and giving it a try. Better than any restaurant in Freeport. Always fresh products and new features.

    Stuffed artichoke and stuffed clams appetizers

    Love Popei's Bethpage. Food is great. Lively atmosphere. Great for families. They have non seafood entrees also.

    Our favorite bartender.

    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. You make friends with the regulars. 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.

    New cocktail menu.

    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.

    Angel hair with garlic & oil

    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. First the location is small but it does pack a HUGE punch! 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!

    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. The place gets SUPER busy... so ensure to come early. The bar is a great place to have a cocktail and an appetizer while waiting for the table. Valet is accommodating for everyone especially those needing a little assistance. A must try...

    Do you have booths or just regular tables?

    I have one corner booth, the Rest are regular tables.

    Hi! Are you guys doing any all you can eat specials yet? Thank you!

    Tuesday Wednesday all you can eat crab legs Tuesday and Thursday are all you can eat shrimp

    Are there any AYCE deals going on currently?

    No I’m sorry, not yet!!

    Are they still offering AYCE snow crab?

    We are not offering the all you can eat specials at the moment due to the fact that we cannot get the abundance of the crab legs needed. Hopefully soon things will be getting back to normal and they will be coming back. We do have crab legs though… 

    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!!

    Are they offering to-go drinks seeing as there is no sitdown eating allowed?

    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

Everything tasted fresh, not frozen or overly salted like some buffet places. The sides and accompaniments were solid too. For the quality and unlimited seafood, the price was very reasonable -- definitely one of the best budget-friendly seafood options on Long Island. Whether you're craving fresh seafood or just want a fun, satisfying meal without breaking the bank, I would highly recommend Sexy Crab. Great spot for families, couples, or groups.

    Management skills -…read more Extremely disappointed with the way this restaurant handled a situation that was entirely their mistake. 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

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! We will definitely be ordering again! PS - they are a small, family-owned business, and I love supporting businesses like that that really care. Give them a try!
