    6-29-25. Broiled flounder with mixed vegetables.
    Anthony S.

    6-29-25. My first time here. Not sure if this place has anything to do with the other Popei's locations in Nassau County.......I would assume so because the menu is very similar. Came with my family and we ordered some lobster bisque, New England clam chowder, Long Island clam chowder (which is half Manhattan and half New England), some terryaki wings and a pot of steamed mussels to start. For entrees we had Popei's Italia which was linguini with shrimp, broccoli rabe, sweet red peppers and cannalini beans in a buttery garlic and oil sauce. Also ordered a fried flounder entree with mixed vegetables......in addition to a few broiled flounder dishes with mixed vegetables. Lastly, we ordered a side of linguini with white clam sauce and linguini with red clam sauce. I tasted everything and it was an overall great meal. The linguini in both white and red sauces were tasty and generous. Terryaki wings were decent, but nothing fantastic. Broiled flounder was light and flaky and could have had a tiny bit more flavor but it was still very good. Steamed mussels in marinara sauce was excellent and the Popei's Italia pasta dish was by far my favorite. Packed with a nice garlicky flavor and full of shrimp. The garlic bread they bring to the table provides an excellent vehicle for sopping up all that tasty broth. Our waitress could not have been more accommodating. Very attentive and she provided some suggestions and great service. Casual ambiance and a comfortable setting. Nice bar area. Live music on Sundays in the summer. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving some seafood. As an added bonus, it's less crowded and less expensive than a few other seafood options you have in the Port which is only a short distance away.......and as far as I'm concerned, the food was better here anyway.

    My plate was the Captains Platter and everything was delicious! My boyfriend did the pick 3

    So we went to Popei's for my birthday lunch. The food was great and everything was delicious. We had gone on a Saturday afternoon and there was maybe 4 other groups of people with us. Service was a bit slow considering it wasn't busy but we always have a good meal here and will return in the future

    Bowl of lobster bisque.

    The restaurant is divided into two sections: a bar area and a restaurant area. The restaurant area is bright and welcoming with a sea fearing atmosphere. My wife and I arrived shortly after three. Based on the early dinner crowd, it is best to make reservations for anything after five in the evening. Our waitress, Nancy, was friendly and welcoming. I ordered a bowl of lobster bisque and the mild, calamari marinara. The bowl of lobster bisque could have been a meal unto itself! The calamari marinara is made with a light sauce just as done in Naples - Italy. My wife enjoyed her clams aglio ed olio and the broiled seafood platter, however, there was so much on the plate we both only were able to have a quarter of what we ordered... well maybe, I had a bit more. Suffice to say, Popei's clam bar has become a favorite place to drop in and have a great early dinner! The Takeaways 1. Good parking 2. Fantastic food to price ratio 3. Excellent service 4. Inviting local 5. Excellent food 6. Nancy our waitress was great Summing it all up... go hungry. If you found this review useful or you liked the pictures, drop me a like.

    Curious if there is a different cook there on Sunday? My daughter and I often order a dish through DoorDash that we love and it's always very delicious but last night we ordered and it was totally lacking in flavor, just not sure why! I hate being disappointed because we love getting food from there several times a month.

    I want to start by saying this used to be my spot. For many years when I lived in the area and when I came back to visit. The bartenders were always friendly, funny, awesome and just overall great, nice people. That being said, I was so happy when I walked in here on Thursday to find that they still had most of the same staff! I sat in the bar area waiting for a couple of friends. I had a glass of wine and I could not decide if I wanted clams or oysters on the half shell. Kelly suggested 6 of each! Perfect idea. The food arrived fast and delicious and I ordered another glass of wine, closed out my tab then went out on the back patio when the rest of my party arrived. They ordered a lamb lollipop salad which looked delicious! I will get that next time. Between the friendly faces, fair priced food and drinks and delicious food there is no reason not to give this place a try, or keep coming back to try all their different food!

    Had a very filling dinner here! I arrived around 7:45pm in the middle of the week with no…read morereservation, and we were seated within 5-10 minutes. You don't have to chose the $60 AYCE option, but I do think you get great value if you do AYCE compared to the packages that aren't. You get a dry erase marker and make your selections on the menu. I was impressed by the wide variety of options from soups like clam chowder to lobster rolls to vegetables to salads to the seafood options. I ended up trying scallops, corn, Dungeness crab, king crab legs, broccoli. I also tried both the house blend and the garlic butter sauces. To be honest, the butter was overpowering in both sauces so next time I would just try the original Cajun sauce. The portion of food you get and the quality is great! Decent amount of lobster in the lobster roll, and good amount of meat in the shellfish. I also love that they had the Knicks vs Cavs game playing. It's also cute that they change the song to a happy birthday song when they're celebrating someone's birthday. It's definitely a more casual ambiance but fun for celebrating birthdays. I also appreciate that they supply plenty of gloves, crackers, as well as bibs. It'll def be a messy eating experience! The only piece of feedback I'd say is we didn't get any refills on our waters during our meal, nor did we get a beverage we ordered, but otherwise our server was very friendly.

    The Monster Crab offers an AYCE lunch and dinner menu, that's inclusive of various apps, salads,…read moresoups, a raw bar, po' boys, rolls, seafood boils, desserts, and soda/juice/lemonades. We came here as a group for dinner, and, we all went for the AYCE - note they also have beer/house win/cocktails/martinis for a dollar on weekdays and $3 on weekends. We tried: +multiple order of Raw Oysters - these were pretty fresh +the Steamed Oysters - went for the Garlic Butter, Cajun, and the House Blend, with few orders being spicy and a few being mild +the Spicy Chicken Wings +the Cocktail shrimp +Fried Pickle chips +Fried Calamari +Fried Crab Balls +Fried Shrimp +Fried Soft Shell Crab +Fried Alaskan Cod +Lobster Bisque Soup +New England Clam Chowder +multiple orders of the Lobster Rolls +seafood boil bags of snow crab legs, peeled shrimp, and scallops in the Original Cajun, Garlic Butter, and House Blend sauces, some as Spicy and some as Mild; we also added corn, potatoes, and lobster tails Considering it was an AYCE, everything was actually fresh and well-prepared. The fried items, even though they had a good batter, does fill you up fast; try to stick with the seafood bags. Staff were friendly and attentive to our party. Note that an automatic 18% gratuity is added to all checks, regardless of your party size, and there is a 1.5-hour dining-in limit. +AYCE seafood +attentive staff

Located in a strip mall the place may be small in square footage but big on ambiance. We arrived about 6pm and were lucky enough to score a two seat table. It was almost filled to capacity with lots of diners enjoying their meals. With great Latin music playing and laid back vibe, I was looking forward to a great meal. John our server was polite and efficient. We started off with traditional Peruvian golden lager, Cusquena. Crisp and delicious! Two ceviche appetizers and two steak entrees. We're ceviche lovers and throughly enjoyed those dishes. The Honey enjoyed his Lomo Saltado. The traditional Peruvian stir fry dish. Strips of beef sirloin, red peppers, onions and tomatoes. Served with French fries and white rice. My Tacu Tacu Steak with rice and beans was a hit, and miss. The steak was tough and the rice and beans, really "starchy". It's hard to explain they tasted heavy and sticky. The portions are generous so I had leftovers for home. Surprisingly, the dish tasted better the next day. The menu highlights their Happy Hour and Wine Down Wednesdays. We're looking forward to returning for one or both :) of those! For some warm vibes, good service and fresh food this place is worth a visit. Thank me later.....
