Great food large portions good price lovely staff. Great beer and wine choices . Northport is a great location to visit

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Enjoyed the cozy outdoor dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good and friendly service. Seafood fresh and tastily prepared

Stopped here today for a late lunch with my boyfriend. Although I'd read more than a few so-so reviews, this was the most packed out restaurant on Main Street so I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Let me start by saying it wasn't a bad experience but it certainly didn't exceed my expectations. The food was good, but a bit bland in my opinion. My boyfriend ordered the L.A. chicken sandwich with fries which was pretty average. Tasted like a less rich version of a chicken parm to be honest. I ordered myself a cocktail (the Hugo Spritz) and one of their specials - the wild Montauk cod. The drink was just okay - menu said it was Prosecco with a splash of elderberry liquor and mint. Really tasted like a tall glass of Prosecco mixed with seltzer. The cod was a nice cut of fish but very bland. It was served baked and topped with crabmeat and a lemon butter sauce with sides of mashed potatoes and veggies. Even after adding salt and pepper I found myself wishing I'd ordered an extra side of sauce as it was the most flavorful thing on the plate. In addition to the bland food and drink, the wait time was unexpectedly long. I will say they were pretty busy when we arrived but we didn't have to wait for a table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had a beautiful courtyard for outdoor dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I popped inside to use the restroom and the bar was pretty packed with patrons watching the soccer game.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Still, it did not explain the longer than usual wait times. I may give this spot one more try since I live in the area and saw some other yummy looking menu items but I really hope it's improvement to this visit. read more

Food: Some of the food we got were really good, some were bland. We had 18 oysters for the $1.50 HH oyster deal before 6 pm. They were great. Their key lime pie was pretty good but that small portion for $12 was robbery, no price listed on the dessert menu. The sliced steak sandwich was decent, but still somewhat bland. Cheeseburger was average. Linguine clams was pretty bland and portions were small. Clams were good. Service: Bella served us, and we didn't have any issues. Thank you. Atmosphere: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables were sticky, my plate was somewhat dirty, and there's a handful of lantern flies while we were sitting down and dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd come back for the oyster deal and Arno Palmer. read more

I stopped here to grab some wings and was pleasantly surprised at how amazingly delicious they were. The bartender was very nice and pleasant, as we conversed about music. He also suggested a drink that was very tasty. I will be back very soon. This spot rocks!! read more

I've been here before and ate outside on the patio and the food was delicious. First time going inside and immediately greeted with a big warm welcoming smile by the bartender. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for; laid back and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a man playing guitar and singing great songs for background music and at a perfect volume.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is lovely and the drinks were yummy! read more

Rockin Fish - Spicy margarita - Gastropubs Near Me - Northport, New York

Rockin Fish in Northport, NY, gets a solid three stars from me, the kind of place where you walk in expecting a seafood symphony and leave humming a decent tune but not begging for an encore. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Picture this: a cozy waterfront vibe with nautical knickknacks scattered like treasures from a tipsy pirate's chest, wooden tables that scream "I'm rustic but make it Instagramworthy," and windows framing the harbor like a living postcard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is average in the best way, not blowing your flipflops off with overthetop flair, but comfy enough to linger over a beer while watching boats bob like they're dancing to an invisible reggae beat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's got that smalltown charm where the air smells faintly of salt and fried goodies, though on busier nights it can feel a tad cramped, like everyone's invited to the same underwater party.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Foodwise, oh boy, let's dive in with some finflapping fun! I saddled up to the raw bar for oysters that were fresh as a mermaid's morning splash, plump and briny without any sandy surprises, paired with a cocktail sauce that had just enough kick to wake up your taste buds without sending them into a full conga line. The fish tacos? A tropical vacation on a plate, crispy battered cod hugged by soft tortillas, topped with slaw that crunched like gossip at a beach bonfire and a mango salsa that whispered sweet nothings of summer. But hold the anchor, captain, because the lobster roll veered into meh territory, generous chunks of lobster chilled to perfection but drowned in mayo like it was auditioning for a salad instead of starring in a buttery, toasty bun showdown. Sides were hitormiss too: the fries were golden gods, hot and salty enough to make you forget your diet, while the coleslaw played it safe, creamy but forgettable, like that one cousin at family reunions who shows up but doesn't steal the show. Portions are hearty, prices fair for the shore (think $20$30 entrees that won't sink your wallet), and the craft beer selection had a few local gems that paired like old fishing buddies. Service was the steady eddy in this oceanic adventure, average but amiable, with servers zipping around like speedy seahorses on a Friday rush. Our waitress had a smile brighter than a lighthouse beam and knew the menu like the back of her net, recommending the daily special with enthusiasm that felt genuine, not scripted from some corporate treasure map. She checked in just enough to keep things flowing without hovering like a gull eyeing your fries, and when my buddy's drink arrived lukewarm, she swapped it faster than a wave recedes. No complaints on timing; apps hit the table in under 10 minutes, mains followed suit without making us stare at the ceiling like bored barnacles. That said, it wasn't flawless, one mixup with a side order had us waiting an extra lap around the harbor, and the host stand could use a splash more warmth on entry, felt a bit like boarding a ferry instead of a fun feast. All in all, Rockin Fish is a reliable catch for a casual night out in Northport, where the vibes reel you in for average fun, the grub satisfies without wowing every palate, and the crew keeps the ship steady. I'd reel back for happy hour oysters and sunset views, but maybe skip the lobster roll next time and let the tacos steal the spotlight. If you're local or cruising Long Island's north shore, give it a whirl, it's no Michelin mermaid, but it'll rock your boat just enough for a threestar splash! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We stopped in for happy hour beer and oysters and sat outside under some umbrellas. It was very pretty[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Service took some time. The IPA was refreshing and the oysters were so clean and delicious!! We started with 12 and got 6 more after.. Worth the happy hour deal! I've had dinner here some time ago and it is always great quality! read more

Food was decent, service was poor. All I wanted was another beer and more tartar sauce for my less than appealing fish and chips. We were the only customers, and all three waiters ignored us. Their conversation together was more important than a paying customer. Prices too high for the experience. read more

The food was overpriced and extremely disappointing. The lobster roll was hands down the worst I've ever had. The spinach and feta meatballs were unappetizing, and nothing tasted fresh. read more

Food is great, and the menu offers something for everyone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the vibe inside (very relaxed, great service, friendly waitstaff) and out on the patio during warm months, as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I live in Northport and I'm a repeat customer. Definitely recommend. read more

We had a good lunch here, nothing special. Service was quick and our waitress was very nice. I got a white sangria which was just okay. I got blue point oysters which were tasty but not nearly cold enough. We split the Caesar fries app which was the best thing we had. Husband had a chicken Caesar wrap which he said was pretty good. The outdoor seating area was cute and cozy and is dog-friendly. Like I said, not a bad experience just nothing special. read more

Raw Oysters, This review was from a few months ago when they had their annual shut down the street fair with Antique cars and live music. I think it was called family fun night. I didn't hang out. Hea guys really! I've been coming here for years. I ordered half dozen Oysters $1.50 after 3:00. I sat outside what are the great side babe blood orange ambition brew that quenched my thirst. My Oysters came out on a bed of crushed ice with a slice of lemon and red sauce. Right away I noticed my oysters were smaller than the shell itself I picked it up and noticed my shell was cold but when I bit into it the Oyster it was warm with no oyster liquor. Did I just eat canned Oysters. Now I'm pissed I call my waiter and told him not to serve me this ever. He offered to redo my order. He came out with four oysters in a Moat. My shaved ice had melted. Really your to lazy to put my Oysters on a fresh bed of shaved ice. I was one of their only customers after 3:30. I have pictures of my moat. Thank God I can amuse myself. read more

In short: - Good Food - Good Beer list - Great Location - Great for brunch - Close to the waterfront read more

Clams came in a lot of tasteless liquid. You could tell it had garlic in it but it was not good. The butter was also lacking in buttery taste. The lobster tacos were tasty but they were extremely tiny (2 inches long) and just not worth the price for what you got. We weren't thrilled with this place and will go elsewhere next time. I will add that we also had oysters on the half shell and those were delicious. read more

First off me and my girlfriend and her friend sat down on a fine night. It was pretty empty but here and there some folks gathered round for a nice feast. We decided to sit indoors and as drink starters we got Shirley temples and I got a lemonade. The Shirley temples were good I tried my girlfriends but the lemonade was not it guys, way too sour and left me honestly really disappointed because I wanted something good to go with my wings which were my meal because them by themselves are a lot. My girlfriend and her friend both got chicken tenders which were good they said one got normal fries and my girlfriend got the truffles fries which were really nice I tried them, not my favorite side dish but she liked them a lot. I enjoyed the wings with a side of buffalo sauce and blue cheese really good overall, crispy, tasty, and savory. The chicken tenders were good but I love wings more and I enjoyed the meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall pretty chill nice place in Northport town I enjoyed it and recommend it just don't get the lemonade, I'd like to come back in the future and try some of there dishes for sure![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cheers! read more

Service was very good - [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance was sweet[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The food was just awful - the baked clams were mushy and the crab cake was also mushy. They both had a 'broiled' crust and a mushy mess inside. Expensive lunch and not even good. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Enjoyed the most beautiful patio dinner at Rockin Fish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The weather was perfect and the food was even better![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried several plates but the Crab Cake BLT topped them all!

Another great lunch at Rockinfish today. I simply don't understand the negative reviews. Service is always spot on and friendly. And every entree over the years has been exceptional. Today - the whole flounder, prepared simply with sea salt, lemon, a side of mashed and broccoli was tasty and fresh. And the Red Snapper with clams and shrimp over linguini was exceptional. The red snapper was so fresh and tasty its a must try entree. And there's always a wide choice of craft beer. At Rockinfish, you will not be disappointed. Great food, Great service, Great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating. And also, A shout out Thank you to Liz for the great service! read more

My dish was the Montauk cod with mashed and veg. The mashed and veg had a horrible taste and the cod was not that great (spitting out lemon pits and bone). Service was good and that's all they had going for them. read more

Popped in randomly and got a great late lunch outside. Good beer selection, cod BLT was generous, and the tartar sauce tasted homemade. But my favorite part was the sautéed lemon oysters - oh my goodness, I'm obsessed. They were served with a little scoop of mashed potatoes. I'm definitely ordering that again! Service was relatively fast too. read more

I'm starving after having my hair done across the street so we sat outside and ordered mussels without chili peppers or jalapeños and chicken tacos for bf. Service is slow and it's warm out here! The mussels were tiny but the delicious marinara and garlic they were swimming in was worth 3 stars although it was very salty!! Bf's tacos were okay and they brought a side of "grilled" veggies that were really soggy and probably frozen and thawed out. I wouldn't recommend or repeat read more

We always have dinner at Rockin' Fish before going to the Northport Theater. The food is always excellent and served with a smile. Vanessa knows us and what we both like to eat!! I love the relaxed atmosphere and how it's decorated!! Comfortable and welcoming!! Thank you Vanessa! Claire and Dan (burger well, well, well done!) read more

It's an excellent place for oysters. I recently had the Lemon Oysters: I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!

My wife and I ordered dinner food from the menu and it was pricey. I ordered Fish and chip and for the price of $30 I thought I would get fresh fried battered fish. They gave me 2 pieces of small fried fish that looks like Gortons Battered Fish from frozen box and French fries and a sweet Cole slaw in a small plastic cup. It was awful. My wife had Baked Clams mainly made of bread crumbs and little bits of mince clams. She said that it was outrageous that they $25 for 5 lousy baked clams. Anyway, that was our first and last time for Rockin Fish. Can't believe they in business!! read more

I'm going to go with a 3.5 here because of its charm. Wait staff was a little bit odd? But maybe that's because we're not regulars... who knows. We got: Mango White Claw: me Bud Light: him Baked Clams: split and huge. These were the biggest baked clams we've ever had. Oh my. Classic Caesar Salad: me. Pretty good. Wish it was a little chopped as some pieces of lettuce were big. Tuna Roll: me. Solid and just the perfect amount of food for me. Skirt Steak Sandwich: him. Said it was pretty good not superb but good. What we did love was how we were outside and we felt like we were in our own little area in a quiet little bistro. Outdoor seating is a solid romantic spot. Will we be back? Maybe? read more

I've been to this place many times but today was just awful. Went there for lunch and my dish was tasteless tired and very small in portion size. Honestly it felt like the food was prepared several days ago. The person I went with only ate half their lunch had a hair in their drink and became violently ill about an hour later. There are many other restaurants in Northport. This one's off the list. read more

Lazy chef. No lunch menu. Seafood not fresh. Restaurant depot food. Everything comes with carrots broccoli mashed potatoes. It's not the fifties. It's a shame- with such a nice staff and beautiful location. read more

What happened to this place. I have been here previously and it was great. Not the case tonight. 1hr to get our apps. OK, after another 1/2 hr we checked and was told kitchen was extremely backed up and we would get our entrees in about another 20 to 30 mins. 2 hrs and no entrees. Waitress Grace was so apologetic read more

Very good pub food. Very dog friendly. Beautiful out door space. Staff is friendly and helpful. Lovely restaurant to sit outside and enjoy a very food meal. read more

Most items are frozen. Service was good, food was not. It's incredibly frustrating how bad the food is in northport village. This place is good for bear and maybe the oysters, that's about it. read more

Had a great late lunch here with drinks, truffle fries, oysters, and some cool mini-tacos. It was cooler so we ate indoors and my girlfriend and I got a Prosecco and a nice huckleberry spritzer from an Idaho winery named Ste Chapelle. We had the Parmesan broiled oysters (really good!), truffle fries with basil aioli, and mini lobster tacos. The lobster tacos were a little too small in my opinion and the Thai chili sauce was a little too overpowering, or at least there was too much sauce on them. Truffle fries were our favorite! read more

On Main Street is a restaurant that presents itself with that old traditional beauty of the town. The inside dining room and bar area are lined in the old brick building atmosphere of the early times of Long Island. The floors are wood floors with old traditional glass windows. There also stylish chandeliers throughout the inside dining room and bar that add to its ambience. Since we were being careful with the pandemic still being a concern, we dinned for lunch on their side outdoor patio. I noticed they had a variety of beers that included some IPA's from a neighboring microbrewery. I chose for the second time a local IPA. Since this was the second time in one week that I was having lunch at this restaurant, I decided to choose just appetizers; the tuna & fish fried tacos were my choices. The fish Tacos were delicious. The cheddar cheese, black beans, and spicy guacamole were the perfect dressing to complete the fried fish taco. The tuna roll had ahi tuna on the outside with crabmeat salad on the inside. Oh that was very good as well. Overall I very much enjoyed my dining experience and I was quite impressed with their staff which was always attentive & friendly. read more

It's a tone-deaf menu. Apparently, the chef has never heard of climate change and definitely has no idea about what we have done to our oceans. Even the vinaigrette has eggs in it. The black bean burger isn't vegan. I had to make my own salad dressing because all of the dressings contain animal products. The salad was gross. Olives canned, tomatoes orange. I'm pretty sure I work here now after making the dressing but I haven't received a pay check yet. One vegan option. One? Nope. The staff gets 5 stars. Super friendly, Kind, and helpful. The chef? Owner? Zero stars. read more

My gf and I came here for a double date with friends after hearing about the oyster happy hour (not for me, for them). Everything we got was very enjoyable. I got the Rockin' Fish Salad, which I ate every bite. We all shared the truffle fries and they were mouthwatering. My gf got the cheeseburger, which looked, smelled and tasted amazing. For a drink, I highly recommend the margarita made with agave wine. It was really good. Our waitress could have been a little friendlier. Would def come back! read more

I am starting to understand the lower ratings. First off I want to say the food is good, the staff has always been friendly, I love the outdoor area! But the serving size for a glass of wine is always smaller than other restaurants in the area for the same price. Today's wedge salad...well look at the picture. A wedge of lettuce, yes with a few prices of bacon and tomato. I guess you make the salad yourself? There was blue cheese in a cup but it wasn't blue cheese dressing, the lettuce was crisp & fresh & the bacon was cooked just how I like it crispy, but it was a bit disappointing. read more

I really don't give 5 stars often. In general "it's if you don't have something nice to say..". But the food, the service and the casual but professional atmosphere just deserves 5 stars. A cozy place where you won't have regrets. read more
