    Lobster roll
    Sarah M.

    So good for a meal out during covid! Came at 12 on a Saturday and got a table right away. Got the lobster roll, tots & my dad got the fried clams. All were 100% delicious. Felt super safe, clean and efficient! Service was quick as well. Highly recommend.

    Clam roll
    Kenny C.

    The Beach Bazaar lost one great seafood stand, but gained a new one that's just as good! They took over the space that was previously Wild Feast, smack dab in the middle of the indoor food court. As the name suggests, their specialty is clam, but they of course also sell lobster rolls since it's from the same people as Red Hook Lobster Pound (one of the best places in Brooklyn). I went with a fried clam roll. It came on a toasted buttery bun and was spilling out with clam pieces. And a hell of a deal for $12. My friends got the fried clam basket, and it was the same thing, but with more fried clams (and without the bread). You can add a side of tots to that. They also sell clam chowder, which seems suuuuper weird to me as a summer food. But to each his/her own, I guess.

    Clam and Lobster Sandwich
    Sumen T.

    I went all the way to this place to try the clam sandwich. I wish I didn't have to do that if I knew there was a place in Manhattan. Anyways, I think their deep fried clams there taste really great and fresh too. It was pretty flavorful and you also have a great view of the beach while you are enjoying it there. I would definitely come back here again but probably not travel all the way there. The area is a mysterious part of New York with tons to explore over there. The service there was quick and on point.

    Disgusting elote

    I got the shrimp roll ($12) and elote off the cob. The Shrimp roll was fine but still overpriced for the amount of shrimp given. The elote was a great dissapointment. The corn was completley burnt, stale and inedible. Tasted like it was burnt and then microwaved. When I complained I was told that there was nothing that could be done because it was supposed to be charred. There is a large difference between charred and burnt. I'm not usually one to complain about charring becuase I like the smoky taste but this just didnt even taste like corn. I just wanted one that didnt taste like pure charcoal. Waste of 6 dollars.

Flavors are there in the dishes served. Shrimp with pasta Alfredo - excellent flavor, shrimp cooked well (not overcooked). Pasta is great. Shrimp in garlic sauce - maybe scampi. Also excellently made. Fried calamari- not the best ever, but well cooked. Has that crisp that you expect. Marinara is yummy. What I'm not thrilled about, service. Got a table of 14 people. Waiter comes by asks maybe half the table for drink orders and disappears. Bussing empty plates is very slow. Checking on the table is occasional. Far from ideal. They brought dessert but no coffee or tea without requests. A big table needs more attention than a table of 2. Would I come back? Yea probably. Their outdoor deck is nice. Except for the mosquitos. Citronella candles on the table don't exactly set the mood

Nothing outstanding food or drink wise. 1.7 pound stuffed lobster $81. The stuffing was mostly breadcrumbs but the lobster was fresh and tasty. Baked potato and corn. Hubby had pork chop. $44. Cooked fine. Slightly dry but not awful. Flavorful with cherry peppers and veggies. The steamers were great but the mixture of white and red clam chowder was too thin. Grey goose dirty martini was good as was a mezcal margarita. Didn't stay for dessert. Wasn't thrilled. Was all ok but won't be back.

    As a native Breezy Pointer, I've been coming to Kennedy's for as long as I can remember--and it's…read morestill one of those places that never loses its charm. Set right along Jamaica Bay, Kennedy's nails that perfect balance between upscale and relaxed. The ambiance feels polished without being stuffy--white tablecloths, nautical touches, and sweeping waterfront views that make it just as good for a casual dinner as it is for a special occasion. The menu is a standout, especially if you're into seafood, cabernet braised beef short ribs, and expertly prepared dry-aged chops. And of course, a perfectly poured Guinness always hits different when you're by the water. One of my favorite things about Kennedy's is the atmosphere beyond the food. They frequently host live music--especially on Friday and Saturday nights--which adds a lively, local energy without overwhelming the space. What really makes Kennedy's special, though, is its deep-rooted history. Dating back to 1910--when the original building was ferried over from Coney Island--it has weathered everything from a nearby naval explosion in 1919 to the devastation of Hurricane Sandy in 2012. After a major renovation, it reopened in 2014, blending its rich past with a modern, resilient design. Kennedy's isn't just a restaurant--it's a Breezy Point institution.

Perhaps that's a sign of the times as I am always looking for hidden messages and I like to combine them with metaphors - I enjoy the search. Not in an out with the old and in with the new way, more of a this happened this way for a reason kind of way. Good or bad - there is typically a lesson to be had if we are able to see it. Its a big day for the my girlfriend whom I am actively working on becoming my doomer girlfriend. She always upbeat and positive and I just don't understand it, (anthrax, nukes, job reports, crime) but I respect it tremendously. Well, she just landed a new position and she is moving on in other aspects of her life, she has quickly come roaring back into color before my very eyes. The hidden message here is one of building a new home after an environmental storm at Breezy, too build a new life after a life of weathering personal storms and challenges, awaiting the still and the calm - being prepared for another assault all while building something unbreakable. And its certainly not just her, its in large part, me too. Lets get on to the food. A simple concept - fresh fish and chops prepared with love and respect for the fine folks that populate the surroundings of the bay. I do not consider Time Square or Rockefeller prime real estate, I do however consider this charming little spot where you can hear the children play in the dunes, between the neighbors prime plus. The Specials were beautifully stated by our waiter - I wanted to hear him twice and he did. Not confusing and not pretentious, prices and coruscation counts given up front, no guessing required - no jacket required either as I sported my Star Spangled shorts. Linguine flavored with chives, parsley extra garlic all balanced in a buttery white wine clam sauce. Light and flavorful, I tasted each shrimp, clam and mussel individually and completely. But before that three outstanding appetizers all with amazing sauces and dressings appeared. Lightly candied walnuts, fresh cranberries upon warm little delicate pockets of goat cheese with chilled green and robust light crisp leaves. My lady's Swordfish was top quality cooked to absolute perfection, a medium cook temp - light and flakey which reminds me of the Crab Cake as I wander back and forth from appetizer to entrees. I could smell the real crab as it was set upon the table - like the ones I caught here on the docks with killies (bait fish) in 1985. That salty and beautiful briny subtle kiss of the ocean. Shall I keep going? I can and would but I shall take no further time from you fine folks, my dear readers - HAPPY Fourth of July to you All!! HAPPY Independence Day!! God Bless America!!

A special note; We always have to ask for ice with sparkling wines, Bill Murray style. The Boathouse offers you their Prosecco on ice right away! And it's on tap!

So I wanted to eat in a place with a scenic outdoor dining experience. Bay House popped to mind so I called and sure enough they had outdoor seating 10 minutes later I'm being seated at a great table with a full view of the bay and Manhattan. Wow just perfect!! Mary Kate is my waitress and I order sparkling water. But then also ask for a glass of cab! Which is delicious. I'm seated right at the end of the deck so everyone climbing up the stairs greets me so nicely. Foe dinner I decide on chicken francese with mixed vegetables and a salad with oil and vinegar. It all comes so quickly and everything is delicious. The chicken is cooked to perfection and is wonderfully moist. The veggies again are so tasty. Mary Kate comes over a few times to check how things are. Then she tells me it's her first day and I'm her second table! Wonderful job!! Here's a nice tip!! I'll be back soon!
