It has literally been over a decade since I've visited City Island. I definitely remember it…read moredifferently. That said, I do remember Sammy's Fish Box as a good spot to visit. I came with my wife and while there wasn't much going on in the town, Sammy's was the vibe we were looking for. The restaurant is huge and kitschy. You feel like it's a diner on steroids. Just look at the massive menu with items written in fine print. We saw everyone walking away with leftover bags like they just went grocery shopping so we decided to order less. We went with the Sammy's Broiled Combination and the Piri Piri shrimp appetizer sized. But before we even ordered, they dropped 3 types of bread with pickled vegetables. We are basically full better the food even arrived. Our waiter was swamped. They were definitely understaffed for a Friday afternoon unfortunately. That said, the food was good overall. We won't necessarily be back to City Island anytime soon but if you're here, Sammy's isn't a bad choice.

Drove through NY and needed a quick bite to eat and started looking at Chinese food restaurants…read more This place had one of the highest ratings and I can see why! The food was done within 15-20 minutes and we loved everything we ordered. Everything tasted authentically Cantonese, not spiced or super flavorful. Just your basic, comfort food. Exactly what we needed on our drive home. This place is located in an okay neighborhood area, but we didn't have time to sit down and eat. There's limited seating. We saw a lot of people waiting for takeout. The food was so hot and tasty when we picked it up. We got: BEEF TERIYAKI STICKS So tasty, cooked well with a slight char to it and seasoned enough to give it flavor, but nothing overwhelming. CRAB RANGOON These were so crispy and creamy, so freaking good with lots of crab and cream cheese with every bite. FRIED CHICKEN WINGS These chicken wings were GOOOOD! Perfectly fried crispy outside and juicy chicken inside. The flavoring of the outside was very flavorful and made every bite so satisfying. Wish we got an additional order! SAUTÉED STRING BEANS This is a comfort food for me, just your basic green beans sautéed in super light soy sauce and garlic. YUMMMM! BEEF CHOW FUN Another comfort food of stir fried beef and bean sprouts. So tasty and the rice noodles were perfectly fried and chewy. PORK FRIED RICE This pork fried rice was super tasty, but different. The rice was more pilaf which I absolutely loved and there was so much barbecued pork in it. Wasn't saturated in soy sauce which is how it normally comes, a really light and tasty fried rice. HOT & SOUR SOUP I love hot and sour soup and this was sooo good. It wasn't too sour, flavored and spiced just enough to check all the boxes and left me wanting another bowl full! Spent over $50 and got a free 2-Liter soda too! Will definitely stop by this place again on my future drives through or to NY!!!

THIS REVIEW IS SOLELY FOR THE UBER EATS DELIVERY PORTION**7/24…read more I ordered a large amount of fish and French fries. I know you are reading to find how the fish was, because the reviews on Maxine's on the Boulevard have really good ratings. Well, I can't tell you how the fish and fries were, because I used the Uber Eats app to order my food and I never received the food, even though the order shows complete in the app. I gave specific instructions and I even provided my telephone number so that the driver could call if he had problems, because delivery drivers will drop your food anywhere, IN MY EXPERIENCE! I gave a 20% tip as well. I called Maxine's on the Boulevard, and they say the order is out, if you have a problem call Uber Eats. I went downstairs to the salon, and they did not receive an order. One worker said that the guy was waiting for 14 minutes and no one showed up. Let me tell why the driver waited, he never followed the instructions. The delivery was a standard delivery because when you pay more the delivery doesn't arrive any faster. The order was made at 3:18 and with a 40-minute delivery window or at 4:00 pm. The app showed an ETA of 4pm. The driver arrives early and stood outside, not bothering to call the number provided. I will go as far as to say, maybe I did not hear the new delivery window alert. Why did he stand at the salon and not come to the apartment build? I remember that I used to delivery Uber Eats and I went to Red Lobster, delivered the food, told the customer to check the order before I leave. There was a problem. I drove back to Red Lobster to retrieve the missing lobster tail. Red Lobster said that they were closed, long story short, I drove back to the customer, lobster tail in-tow. I was not going to leave without the customer's missing item. I was representing a company, so I did what I had to do to make sure that the customer was satisfied. Not bragging but you don't get that service nowadays, some workers are unconcerned whether you get what you pay for or not. Do you know that I was salivating for this delicious fish and savory French fries, Crinkled cut at that! Frish on a Friday, you can't go wrong unless you do as I did and use Uber Eats. I am too hangry at the moment... Inspire more, Yelp more!

Everything was delicious. The lobster was enjoyable, the scallops were flavorful and well seasoned, and the fried shrimp was crispy and went perfectly with the tartar sauce. Even the fries were good. The dining experience is very casual. Ordering feels a bit like standing on a busy lunch line, and it can get pretty noisy inside. There also aren't enough indoor tables, so you have to keep an eye out for a table while you're getting your food. I'd give it four stars because the food was definitely worth the trip, but the limited seating and hectic atmosphere take away from the overall experience.

Enough to be useful, but not giving folks a whole dissertation on the Rasta pasta I'd do: I went here for the first time for a Galentine's Day event my friend was hosting, and overall, I had a good time! I ordered the Rasta pasta with jerk chicken, and whew... it was SPICY! I can handle spice, but this was really spicy. I couldn't even finish it there and had to take it home, where I could eat it in peace with plenty of water lol. It was also a little saltier than I would have preferred. The ambiance was cool and had a nice, chill vibe. It was pretty crowded and noisy while we were there, so it was sometimes hard to hear each other. There may have been another event going on that day, so I'd definitely come back on a less crowded day and try the food again. Overall, I enjoyed myself and would definitely go back!
