Good food. Little over priced tbh. Was expecting little more out of the soup-new England. But it was fine overall

We are frequent customers to Babylon fish and clam for take out. I think its going to stay that way. We decided to go their on Friday for an early dinner, around 4:30ish. There were a few diners there, plenty of outside tables. We approached the hostess who asked if we wanted to sit in the sun or shade. It was a little warm so we opted for the shade. She gave us our menus and left. My husband and I decided what we wanted, closed the menus and waited. And waited. And waited. There were 3 waiters standing around by the hostess stand, with the hostess, talking and some fooling around. One start to approach us but went to the table behind me asking is there was anything they needed. Again we waited. The wait staff did look over at us several times, no one came by. A waitress came out from inside and started walking toward us, bypassing us for the table behind us asking if they needed anything else. OK. Finally I put $20.00 on the table, showing this is the tip they MIGHT get if one of them takes our order and I set the timer on my cell phone to see how long it would take for one of them to come over. Another waitress catches my eye, along with the money and timer and starts to walk over. OK she's going to take our order. NOPE. You guessed it, went to the table behind us again. I picked up my money, cell phone and my husband and I walked out. We were waiting there a good 10 minutes and not one of these jerks came over, introduced themselves or took our drink order. I overheard them talking to each other asking themselves how long were we sitting there. One waiter tried calling me back and I said "Look you are not the only seafood restaurant here. We are going over to Pier 44 thank you". (Pier is 2 doors down). I also said "by the way, tell the owner (I used her name) the we (I used our name) said hello". My husband went to school with her and used to do a lot of work for them. All I can say is this is what we can expect with this generation coming into the work force. The place was not crowded, there were more wait staff than customers and they are standing around talking and fooling around and expect to get paid and not do any work. read more

Subpar lobster roll on a basic hotdog bun. No frills. Clam chowder was also weak. Friend got the swordfish. It came with no vegetable beside a baked potato. If you eat outside you'll be staring at a parking lot. Not worth it for the price or taste. Disappointing! read more

I used to frequent this place when I was younger w my family while boating in the summer I remember it being so much better the food this time was okay at best my husband and I had a bunch of apps as dinner the shrimp cocktail was okay and the baked clams where terrible they where a bunch of mushy stuffing with very chewy little bits of clam and the seasoning was awful the scallops where tiny and over cooked the mussles where way too large in size and the sauce tasted like jarred sauce the seafood bisque soup was thick and clumpy and sooooo over salty I cant imagine the chef tasted any of his food before sending it out I think its time for a new chef I think they might need a visit from Chef Gordon Ramsay or it might be time to close up shop needless to say we will not be returning and I don't recommend wasting your money their read more

Just for the record, one of these two stars are based strictly on the friendly and helpful servers and host we encountered. They were very patient with my elderly grandmother who is full of concerns and requests, and is very soft spoken. They were of course friendly and helpful with the rest of us as well. Great service all around. That's really the extent of my praise. The food was downright terrible, and not inexpensive either. The seafood stuffing in the stuffed mushroom appetizer (and stuffed fish entrée) had no discernible seafood flavor. It was a bready and bland distraction. The flounder and the mussels both seemed to of been frozen products. Dry and bland was a theme. I grew up visiting Long Island, and eating here, it's not what it once was. The biggest disappointment came in a chowder cup. My wife who is from Utah and didn't grow up on chowder was excited to try "the real deal". Her first comment after trying the seafood chowder, "it tastes like cake batter". The famous flavor of Long Island roux. A pasty concoction of butter and flour, a bit of cream, and a few pieces of frozen seafood. A menu item that will help fix your peeling wallpaper in a jam. Nice restaurant and great front of house staff. If that's all you seek in a dining experience, then party on Wayne. read more

If i could give this place 0 stars, no, negative stars i would. The hostess gave me and my friends attitude when we were only nice asking if we could order our food bc it's been 30 minutes. The server Annie is an angel though, sweetest person ever. Besides that, the scallops were so rubbery I couldn't even bite into it. The shrimp scampi was a watery buttery and garlicky sauce with 5 shrimps thrown on top. No seasoning, nothing. We also waited an hour 20 minutes for our food only for it to not even be fresh or good at ALL. The scampi was $22 and all we got were 5 shrimp thrown on top of linguini. I ate everything because i had nothing to eat today so whatever. And why the fuck is the pasta so damn watery I had to try to season it with crushed pepper and cheese. I can make this shit better at home. I'm pissed off that not only did I wait for shitty food, the attitude thrown at us was worse. Never coming back here again, the ice water was the best thing i had today. read more

This is a cute little place NEAR the water but no water views. There is an outside seating option. Tables are tight. Food was good, nothing outstanding. Stuffed flounder with crabmeat, cheeseburger, cod, scallops. Portions are a little small. Service is excellent. read more

How can you be right next to the water and serve frozen clam strips. So excited to come home to NY for some great local seafood and I just paid $14 for f-ing fried frozen clams. Shame!! read more

We went here with a friend for a nice little meal by the water. It's by the water, but it isn't on the water. We walked by a band, around the seafood counter, and to the bar. There seemed to be a lot if people working in the place. Bartender was friendly while we waited for the table, which was quickly available. The place was decorated with little nautical things. Our waitress sat us, took the remaining drink order, and left us to the menus. We ordered steamers and a dozen oysters. When the food was dropped off, it was 11 oysters (which was fine since they were okay) and they had run out of steamers. No big deal. Waitress came over and asked how the steamers turned out. No one told her they were out. She asked if we wanted something else, but by then, we were ready for dinner. I had the crab cakes, which were okay. Nothing special. The staff was nice and friendly, but there was a huge communication issue between the staff. The place was a little tight and loud. Seemed like it could have been an off night. Overall, the food was okay. Prices were high for what you get. read more

Just came in for two quarts of New England Clam Chowder. It took so long and we were told that they ran out so they had to heat more. When we got home to eat it, it was TERRIBLE there were hardly any clams, it was very bland, and very few potatoes. Never again......what seafood restaurant runs out of chowder at 5:30 pm.....ridiculous read more

Brooooo worst damn seafood restaurant I have ever been too. First off we waited 30 minutes to order to only get an attitude by this server and her quote while pointing fingers, " I ain't your server". Our server Annie (sweetest person ever) was so apologetic the whole night to my table and my friends table. After placing our order, food took 1 hour 30 minutes to come out which pissed the shit outta me and my 6 friends. My scallops were so bad to the point you could tell it was frozen for who knows how long and so rubbery like nahhhhh (came home to an upset stomach). My friends shrimp scampi was so watery and unseasoned like any amateur cook can make it better then the way this place did. At the end of the night, we divided into 3 bills and all the bills were overcharged and we had to wait an additional 15-20 minutes to get that settled like they really trying to scam 7 college students???? Overall review, WORST F**KING SEAFOOD RESTAURANT. NOT WORTH THE $160 TOTAL FROM 3 BILLS COMBINED. LIKE WE CAN BUY OUR OWN SEAFOOD WITH LIKE $50 AND MAKE A BOMB ASS MEAL. read more

I was hoping to find a good seafood spot in my area and i was optimistic that this would be a place i would come back to eat on the patio. The service much more polite than at Southside in Lindenhurst and much faster as well. However, I wouldn't spend my money there again on these sad portions. I paid $35 for a flounder, shrimp, and scallops combo. I got 3 shrimp, a small slab of fish, and maybe a little over a tablespoon of scallops along with a small potatoe and a cup of soup. read more

Babylon Fish & Clam - $35 combo. I just opened it and haven't eaten or picked at any of it. This is it. - Seafood Near Me - Babylon, New York

This used to be the place I'd go for decent food at a reasonable price. But over the past couple of years the food has gone downhill and the price has gone up. Any of their specials are usually good but their portions have really shrunk. I had the mahi special and it was good except it wasnt that hot. My wife had their fried calms and they were very chewy. Service is good And if you want to sit outside get ready to see the parking lot and smell the car fumes. read more

The one star is only for the severs only, this place is a complete RIPOFF. Over priced garbage food that you can buy at Costco. This place could be ok if it used Fresh Seafood not frozen crap. US Open or Hampton prices $$$$$ Pass on this one. read more

Nice little spot. My wife and I, really enjoyed our meal. The oysters on the half shelfs where delicious.

We found this place after leaving the beach. Craving for some seafood we figured a place named fish & clam must have good seafood! NOT!! The prices weren't bad which is no excuse for the poor quality in the food. We started with the oysters which seemed to be the only thing that was actually fresh. My husband got the seafood bisque which was not a bisque at all! It had more corn starch than seafood in it. We decided to get a bunch of appetizers instead of entrees and each one was more disappointing than the next. The shrimp cocktail- should have been called defrosted shrimp. The Cajun popcorn shrimp- I've had better at Popeye's. The fried calamari which you can pretty much get at any pub these days- tasted like the clam strips at White Castle. And the mussels with white wine just smelled scary. We were all disappointed and after we got the bill felt ripped off. This place should invest in fresh seafood or change the name of their establishment. read more

Went here for my mother in laws birthday recently. The service was great. Staff is friendly and attentive. While the seafood tasted fresh, we found the food to be over priced for the portion size and most of us were disappointed with what we ordered. read more

Waiter recommended "chopped" baked clams for an appetizer. What we got was some flavorful muck and an over cooked clam in a shell. Hubby's Manhattan clam chowder came out ice cold. I took this time to sneak out and smoke a cigarette, yeah I know. So I get back and the soup comes back, now it is luke warm. A tad salty. At least the packaged oyster crackers were fresh. We ordered the twin lobster tails with the "steak fries". Thirty minutes later two very over cooked and for me inedible lobster tails were served with some knock off Red Robin fries tossed on a bread plate. Please take note that due to the new chips in credit cards you have to inform the server prior to swiping your card how much you would like to tip. I threw my debit card at the hubby, told him to make a call and headed to the car. For a small place there were a bunch of servers not doing much. Also had to ask for some.defrosted then toasted bread. The table behind us must have gotten all eight baskets that were alloted for the night. read more

Appetizers were only ok. The dinner was very disappointing. Seafood pasta dish sucked, no taste. Ordered a drink w fresh raspberries, none arrived w the drink. . read more

I will have to say I have nothing but excellence things to say about this establishment. Service and waiters we're so friendly and respectful. Greeted right when I walked in the door by the owner himself. As soon as I sat down drinks were served and the appetizers were on there way. And shortly after enjoyed some of the best seafood I ever had In my life. So fresh and with just the right touch of seasoning, and a very generous amount for a reasonable affordable price. I would highly recommend this restaurant if your looking for a great meal in a great family environment. You will not be disappointed!!! read more

Went for lunch on Saturday. Both bad entrees. Fish taco special was a small battered fried piece of fish with a little shredded lettuce in a soft taco. Got 2 with sides of bad guacamole and sour cream. Salsa edible and black beans for $18. My boyfriend had chicken sandwich. Roll bigger than slimy chicken with tiny piece of red pepper smothered in cheese. Pesto in container on side. Also like $18. Never again. read more

EI was very disappointed tiny portions,the staff was pleasent but,seemed want to upsell what ever we ordered. The lobster roll was terrible,very expensive! We spent $102. For three people we were over charged $52 which they corrected..but over all it a huge disappointment read more

The outdoor deck at Babylon Fish and Clam is my favorite place to sit on a sunny afternoon. I think they make the best Manhattan Clam Chowder I've ever tasted, and the service is always friendly and warm. read more

Everytime i visit family i come here ! Most of my meals come from this place. I love it Jeanine is the best server !

Came here from a bad experience. We were the only customers but it was quite early. The waitress was super sweet. The owner was there and he was really nice too. I had the seafood gumbo, my first time, and it was really good. Large bowl of mixed seafood and an awesome sauce with some finely diced sausage. My husband got the crab meat stuffed tilapia and that was good too. My daughter got a bowl of pasta with marinara sauce and I have never seen her eat so fast in my life. So glad that the bad experience at another restaurant had us brought here. I wished I lived closer, I'd go more often. read more

Friendly staff, fun and relaxed atmosphere. Great spot for a broiled seafood sandwich and a beer or glass of wine. Casual and easy going unpretentious food. We had the crab salad sandwich and broiled flounder sandwich and the shrimp cocktail. read more

One of my favorite seafood joints in the warmer months. Great food, honest prices, and maybe an umbrella drink or six if I am dining on the outdoor patio. This is a completely low key joint, show up in your shorts and flip flops. Friendly service, you can expect to wait on nice nights. read more

Just OK, not great, not terrible. Definitely not a terrible experience, just not "wow". Hard to give a higher review for a seafood place on Long Island, after all there are 1,000 seafood places. Maybe cut back the menu to half and include something we can't get in every single town on Long Island. (??) Real Cajun (sprinkling cayenne on it does not make it cajun), maybe French, Southern or Asian? Something. It was like a Red Lobster with fresh ingredients. read more

This is the third time visiting this restaurant, and I have grown more negative. They have a disappointingly minimalist attitude. While the food is good, the presentation is lacking. No bread is served, which seems very cheap. I ordered the fried clams, which while good-tasting were few in number, accompanied by a baked potato. No vegetable or salad is included. so all in all the restaurant is not a good value. The next time we visit an LI beach, we will look for another place. read more

Ordered food to be picked up and it was GREAT! Had mentioned the last take out was a little light and tonight it was perfect!!

Went Sunday for dinner with five people. Had a couple of cocktails then came the appetizer's, baked clams, coconut shrimp, oysters Rockefeller and steamers. One was better than the next and everything was nice and hot. Next was the seafood bisque which was like a meal in itself and seasoned perfectly. My fried fisherman's platter was outstanding and my wife's twin lobsters were cooked to perfection. What made the night even better was the owner Franz. Friendly, accommodating, he makes you feel as though you are at home. We will definitely be back. Thanks Franz! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for my birthday dinner and everything was excellent. We started off with the chopped bake clams which are my new found favorite and the crab meat stuffed mushrooms they were very fresh. Then we both had a cup of soup I had the seafood bisque which was hot and creamy and my boyfriend had the New England clam chowder it was very hardy with fresh clams and potatoes. i also had a salad ( it came with my meal) the lettuce was mixed greens it was a dinner size it was good as well.For our entrees he had snow crab legs were sweet and fresh and I had the stuffed shrimp with crab meat it was delicious . By the time we left we were both really stuffed and satisfied . The service was excellent very attentive with all that food the bill came out to $98 which I thought was good for all that food plus cocktails. read more

I love coming here for lunch and dinner. They have the freshest seafood and the service is amazing. They are always attentive and ask how we are doing and if we need anything. If you ever go here, try their baked clams or the salmon! Both my favorites! read more

My favorite restaurant. I've been eating here for 40 years. I moved away to CA, but I come here each time I visit NY (3-4 times a year). I often get the fried seafood platter. Everything tastes fresh even after battering and frying. I like sitting outside at lunchtime when it's warm. Everything I have had here is wonderful. The service is always warm and efficient. read more

Absolutely love this place, price is a little high but the view is worth it, I also love that they are dog friendly I've brought my pup twice and the nice waiter I believe his name is Mike is so friendly and welcoming he brings a water bowl for my dog, LOVE IT!! read more

I will never step foot back in this restaurant and I will make sure anyone I know doesn't have to experience the horrendous service my boyfriend and I did. Our server was an older women with dirty blonde hair. Did not even greet us, was very short and nasty to us and did not accommodate to us what so ever. Our food came out and she went on break without mentioning it to us and we were looking for her for about 10-15 minutes. No one even asked how our food was. I had to ask another server for another drink and my boyfriend had to go inside HIMSELF and grab more water from a water pitcher. She then acknowledged the fact that we were speaking to the "owner" after asking to speak to a manager, another older women with light blonde hair and asked "what did they need" instead of approaching us or wondering why we were upset. Worst experience of my entire life. I was told the place was understaffed but that doesn't justify the fact that we received horrible service. It was our day off and we wanted to enjoy a nice lunch on the water and instead we left very upset. I cant even believe there are waitresses in this location with that bad of service in such a nice area. It's a shame that a place with such great food lost two loyal customers who would take care of their staff. read more

Went there this Sunday after the beach and had possibly the best lobster ever. Oh and don't forget the skinny girl margartias. It was a perfect ending to a fun-filled day! read more

Babylon Fish & Clam - Yummy! - Seafood Near Me - Babylon, New York

love dining by the water in the summer and early fall when weather is sunny and pleasant. Came upon Babylon Fish and Clam and decided to stop. We chose a table on the outside deck. While it is not exactly on the water it still gives that nautical feel. All of us ordered appetizers,main meal and drinks. We all shared and tasted everything. None of us had any complains and enjoyed everything we ordered. The service was friendly and pleasant and somewhat comical at times adding to the enjoyment. We will definitely be back. We had an enjoyable time. Oh yeah...I forgot to mention about the music playing softly in the background...not loud --just enough!! We"ll be back. read more

excellent food the owner france is even more excellent ..if youre craving some time type of seafood dish you dont see on the menu ask and they most likely be able to prepare it for you price not to shabby either read more

Babylon Fish & Clam - baked clams and spicy grilled shrimp DELICIOUS!! - Seafood Near Me - Babylon, New York

After having a craving for seafood and a restaurant with outdoor seating while I was doing business nearby, my iPhone's trusty Yelp application led me here. Once I arrived, I could see that on the outdoor seating front, this restaurant was definitely going to fit the bill as the outdoor deck looked cozy and inviting, with many tables and chairs with plenty of exposure to the clear skies. While the outdoor seating area was nearly full with many happy customers enjoying various seafood dishes, I was seated immediately by a friendly and courteous hostess. I perused the menu and the fish specials, which consisted of cod, salmon, flounder, tilapia, and shrimp immediately caught my eye. Once my friendly and polite waitress, who was middle-aged and had blonde hair but whose name I do not recall came over, I asked her which of the fish dishes she would recommend, and she said that while she liked all of them, that she would go with the salmon or cod. I decided to go with Blackened Cod, which involved pan-frying it and adding spices to it along with a side of mixed vegetables as well as a Diet Coke to drink. While I was waiting for my entree, I enjoyed basking in the sun on the outdoor deck as well as listening to the background music, which consisted of standards like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Queen. My food came out about fifteen minutes later and I enjoyed, as I found the healthy portion of Cod to be moist, flakey, and pleasantly spicy thanks to the cajun spices that it was dusted with. In addition, the mixed vegetables, which consisted of sweet and savory zucchini, crisp broccoli, and sweet pieces of carrots only added to my meal. In addition to the delicious food, I found the service to be excellent, as my waitress was friendly, attentive, and efficient. When I was finished with my meal, I found that the meal was reasonable for $18 in change, as the quality was high and the portion size was ample. Overall, I would definitely return to Babylon Fish & Clam if I were craving seafood and I were in the area. read more
