    I've passed Ben's crab for many times. It's right next to the highway. So be careful when you drive into it from the back. The Cajun rice with shrimp was amazing for only 19 dollars. They gave me so much shrimp and rice that I almost couldn't finish. And I'm someone who eats a lot. The catfish basket was amazing. The fish was fresh, juicy and tender. The seasoning was on spot. Every corner of the crust had some Cajun seasoning on it. The crab spring roll was a little bit hit or miss. I won't recommend it. The shell was a bit hard. But it's alright. My friend had the gumbo soup. She said it's amazing. It smelled amazing and the serving was great for like 8 or 9 dollars. They were super friendly. The environment is clean, bright and friendly. It was busy but with a good amount of loudness so people don't need to shout across tables to hear each other. The restaurant was also super spacious. Great for group hangout. There's also a bar. They also offer a lot of wine on their menu. We had 2 people ordered about 60 dollars. 30 max per person. Totally would recommend this place to anyone who loves seafood and Cajun flavor. I also love they put lemons on drinks. There's plenty of parking space outside for free.

    I haven't visited this location in a while. I was craving a seafood boil and I was in the area. I gave this experience 4 stars because there was a smell when I entered the restaurant. It smelled like a wet mop near the entrance. Maybe they were cleaning prior to opening but hopefully they can address that. I made it in time for happy hour. I ordered a lemon drop martini and catfish basket to start. The catfish basket was well prepared. The lemon drop martini was on the strong side but it was good. For my entree I ordered Combo B which consisted of a whole lobster, shrimp, potatoes and corn in the Ben's Special Cajun Blend sauce. The portion was a great amount and I was satisfied with my meal. Everything was delicious and the boil was well prepared. It was flavorful. Next time I won't get a whole lobster though because I had some difficulty cracking some of the shell. I'll do lobster tails instead. Overall I had a good experience and I left there satisfied. The team provided excellent customer service and they were very helpful and polite. I'll be back soon. Happy Hour is Monday-Friday from 2pm to 6pm.

    My best friend wanted to treat me to a seafood birthday dinner after our great beach day on Long Island and he recommended Ben's Crab. He's a true seafood lover so I trust his judgment. I've actually never heard of this establishment until he mentioned it. They opened their first location (Oceanside, Long Island) in 2017 and apparently it was a hit! They have expanded in Long Island since then by opening two or three other locations (and even opened one in the Atlanta GA area). Because of Ben's Crab, cajun seafood became Long Island's hottest new restaurant trend. Drinks: We didn't order any since we had plenty of adult beverages at the beach earlier. We did get water though :-) Food: I must say I really enjoyed it. We each had the bbq honey garlic wings and fries combo as our appetizer. Could it have been the endless cocktails we had on the beach earlier that heightened the taste of the food? Possibly! I mean we were starving and craving for this food. Whatever the case, those wings and fries were tasty and we enjoyed. As far as entrees, I chose their Lobster Mac & Cheese and my buddy chose their Shrimp Cajun Pasta. We both really enjoyed our entrees (evident from our plates being empty). My Lobster Mac was well seasoned, flavorful and creamy. Yum! We also appreciated the fact that our food didn't take long to come to our table. There was a DJ on site playing some great R&B/Hip Hop tunes. The space is large enough to dance. The customer service was wonderful as well. I will definitely return to Ben's Crab in the near future.

    Four years since my last review/experience with this establishment and it's still amazing! From the food, to the service and ambiance. This isn't a seafood boil that is oily, greasy and flavorless. This seafood boil packs a punch of flavors, it's so delicious and for the month of December they're offering buy 1, get 1 snow crab legs and king crab legs. That is AMAZING! Literally 2lbs of seafood for the price of one. I tried their pomegranate martini, highly recommend. It was a creeper. The peach lemonade with vodka is also very delicious, you'd think it's lemonade with no alcohol but it has plenty. Haha, thank you to my server who played magical tricks and really was a pleasure to be around, he was super nice, funny and helpful. Ben's crab thank you for another great experience after so long, happy you did not go downhill as an establishment. I will be back and it won't take so long!!

    I've been to their other location in and the ambience, vibe and music was much better there. Came here for dinner around 5. It's a little confusing because a big sign says entrance in the back. But when you get to the back a sign says enter through another door. So we literally walked around the entire perimeter of the restaurant before entering. They have ample parking. We were greeted and sat right away. The place was clean and kind of gave diner/seafood shack vibes. Half the tables were empty. The server was nice enough but very pushy when trying to get our order. We kept asking for some time. We had already ordered drinks and apps. They have pictures on the menu so you can see what things look like. There was also things crossed off in marker on the menu. It was happy hour so most of the drinks as long as it didn't contain Hennessy was $9. I know times have changed when $9 is considered happy hour pricing. I got the pomegranate martini. It was excellent and authentically tasted like pomegranate. The martini glass it was served in was big and they filled it to the brim. My date got the blue Long Island. It tasted as it should. He also tried the pina colada. It was served in a Collins glass and that was unacceptable. It was tasty. All the appetizers come with fries and depending on how hungry you are, it could actually double as an entree. My date got the lemon pepper wing basket. The fries had Cajun seasoning, were hot and crispy. The lemon pepper wings were good as well. For entree he got the lobster Mac and cheese and I got the crawfish and shrimp boil. The Mac & cheese smelled good and it was topped with Parmesan Reggiano. Too much claw meat, and it was rubbery to me but he enjoyed it. The boil sauce was full of flavor. I got Ben's special sauce and requested spicy which is just one tier below their "fire". It wasn't hot at all so I guess I need to order fire to get some heat. You get 1lb of each shellfish, and three pieces of corn that could be one ear cut in 3 and three mini potatoes. Some of the crawfish was over cooked. But overall it was good and good portion. Could've gave 2 more potatoes. I didn't like that they automatically added gratuity for a party of 2. Especially since it didn't say that on the menu and that isn't standard. I would dine again.

    The smell when you walk in is a little off putting but none the less, food is good in my opinion. Nice size place. Saturday afternoon place was empty. Service was great. Friday & Saturday nights are loud & crowded....very upbeat vibe. Music is old school RnB which is great in my book.

    If I've said it once I've said it a million times, Bens just isn't it when it comes to seafood boils. Their seafood never taste marinated in the sauce and it always seems to be lacking. Now the pasta is good! Go there for that and the live music which can be overwhelming considering how small the space is but it's different and you'll like that.

    Small pieces of corn

    The last 2 orders I placed to go for crab boils didn't meet my expectations. My orders both times, the crabs are overcooked and sticking to the shell. I've never experienced this when I stayed in the restaurant to eat. I was highly disappointed in the size of the corn they give now. They literally take and ear of corn and cut it up into 4-5 pieces. The corn used to look larger in size in the bag. My daughters boil this time as well, had half a cluster. For $45 - the bag should at least have 2 -2.5 clusters. All in all Im disappointed in the quality of the food be bringing it home and eating in the establishment. I don't think it's right. Ben's has always been my go to but now im not sure.

    Super cute spot!!! Stopped by a friends House and we got hungry so we decided to look up some food and Ben's crab Louisiana Cajun style seafood popped up. We decided to stop by and check it out. The prices were decent a basket of fried shrimp with fries is $13. I decided to get a side of calamari as well fir $12. Since it is Covid we couldn't sit inside. But from the looks of it it looks like something that I would like to come back to. Definitely looks like a good vibe and the decor is similar to the beach. This is located by Hofstra university so do plan on seeing a lots of college students. Update.... I'm not happy with the chalky taste of the batter. The shrimp and calamari tasted fresh but the batter was not flavorful. It also felt like I was eating chalk. The fries had this powdered seasoning and that was necessary. Maybe trying out the steamed options might be best

    Lobster Mac and Cheese
    Yvonne G.

    Been eyeing this place for a while but never stopped in until recently. We started off with the sliders and I would not recommend them. Something about the meat was just off to me. I absolutely loved their spicy Cajun shrimp dish though. It was heavy but really flavorful. The lobster Mac and cheese was ehhh, probably wouldn't order again. They overdid it with the pepper. The servers were nice though.

    Fried Calamari  Cajun Wings Basket

    Came here for a birthday, group of 4, and we had a wonderful time. The food 5/5, drinks 5/5, service 5/5. I was honestly impressed. Out of all of the seafood boils I've tried, this has the best flavors. We had: - fried calamari-so tender and flavorful - wings- regular, nothing too special - we all got a mixture of crab, shrimp, clam combo boils in the Ben's special sauce - amazing - drinks: hurricane, lychee martini, mango margarita - all very good Our waitress was a doll, she recommended items and steered us away from ordering random things we'd probably not enjoy. It was super busy, but she still offered attentive service. Everyone was happy. I can't wait to come back lol.

    Large Shrimp Creamy Pasta (shrimp substituted for salmon)
    Devin T.

    What I Will Say Is That The Food And Drinks Came Back Before I Could Blink My Eyes. I Haven't Been Feeling For Anything Besides Fish Lately So I Asked For The Large Shrimp Creamy Pasta And To Substitute The Shrimp For The Salmon Fillet. I thought I was going to get a fillet of salmon but I got salmon chucks. I think the Cook was trying to give the dish the same appearance as if it were shrimp. My Food was a 2 out of 5 stars wouldn't recommend. My drink was really great the bartender poured my drink in front of me at my table I enjoyed that! Oh And My Waiter He's Real Cool Shout Out To HIM!

When we arrived, the hostess was pushing the all you can eat option for $60/pp so we said why not. (*4 ppl, 2 adults, 2 kids) The menu offered appetizers, up to 5 to expedite the order which was served family style (meaning the size was not for each individual). All good, ordered the basics - fries, onions rings, shrimp fish and oysters. Thought I would throw in lobster rolls (which were mini) because why not. And then the main meal we came for, seafood boil. Paid extra for lobster, which we all know is mostly shell and little meat. They packed the boils with sausage barely any potato but still we had leftovers. Nothing out of the ordinary...like any other meal you order apps & a main course. That is it. So we think let wrap this up what we didn't eat and head out. BUT NO....they want to enforce an excessive leftover policy which didn't make sense for our order. No second appetizers or meals ordered...no extra drinks. Paid for the xtras that wasn't included and then you want to charge $15/ lb to pack leftovers (in a ziplock bag no less) for the meal we paid for???? Absolutely NOT. I wanted to get a desert and sing my child Happy Birthday but instead was met with an unreasonable policy that didn't apply to our order. DONT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE!!! I understand that people may abuse the AYCE concept, but how does a restaurant justify throwing away food when they claim their policy is to minimize food waste!?!?!?! So I argued but I was exhausted by the baseless policy and agreed to a $10 charge. For a $350 bill, that $10 charge will keep me away from this restaurant chain forever. Ridiculous....they could have gotten additional $$$ from a drink, coffee and desserts. Instead they fought over $10 because the of a misleading policy.

    Foundry Tavern in Hicksville was a HUGE surprise for me. I knew the place had been completely…read morerenovated, but I honestly wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it was. First off, the inside is beautiful. They did an incredible job with the renovation, and I loved all the little details, especially the custom 300-pound manhole covers they're using as tables around the bar. Even better, everyone working there was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Now the food! We started with the Baked Clams, and these were legit. You could've served them to me at an Italian restaurant and I wouldn't have questioned it. The Nonna's Ribs were probably one of the biggest surprises--slow-braised pork ribs with cherry peppers and finished on the grill. Fall-off-the-bone tender, tons of flavor, and I loved that they weren't just drenched in BBQ sauce. The Firebird crispy chicken sandwich was fantastic, and the Steakhouse Sandwich with sliced NY strip, mushrooms, provolone, crispy onions and horseradish aioli was also very well done. But that Manhole Burger deserves some special attention. Beef, American cheese, caramelized onions and dijonnaise on brioche. Simple combination, executed REALLY well. This was an outstanding burger and absolutely something I'd order again. And I can't leave out the fries. They're hand-cut in house, super thin and crispy, and exactly how I like my fries. Think that addictive thin fast-food style, except made fresh and much better quality. If you remember this location from its previous ownership, give it another shot. This is a completely different experience. Beautiful restaurant, genuinely friendly staff and food that exceeded my expectations. Foundry Tavern is a Hicksville hidden gem that deserves more attention--especially for lunch. I'll definitely be back.

    Went to the Foundry Friday night…read more Off path location and not great parking. We had no reservations so we ended up sitting in the outside area. Cute little spot. Heard the guy next to us order a French dip and the waiter said great, we have only 2 left. So when he came to us I ordered and he said great timing it's the last one. Took 45 minutes to get our strawberry salad which was delicious. Another 3o minutes go by (and the guy next to me who ordered the other French dip had already finished and left) So the strawberry waiter, after more than 1.15hr walk over and says "hey, we ran out of the French so I ordered you the steak sandwich. Huh? 1 hour and fifteen min later you ran out and the other guy already ate and left? I said great, but I'm not paying for it. 10 min later the owner came out. He could not have been a friendlier, responsible and all around nice person. It wasn't that he not only covered my meal but the table but it was the way he handled it. Owning a restaurant is not easy and problems happen. Food - 8/10 Prices 9/10 Place 8/10 I would not only recommend this place but they have absolutely earned my business. I obviously can't give a 5 because of the incident but I will change this to a 5 when I go back and get the service I have a feeling I'll receive. This owner deserves the business because he knows how to run a business. Money follows the people not the other way around.

Now let's talk about the mozzarella sticks... Our son decided to give them another shot. The last time we were here, we thought they were just kind of average. Today was a completely different story. Perfectly fried, great flavor, and an AWESOME cheese pull. Huge improvement! My wife and I shared the onion rings, which had a nice thin batter, were perfectly fried, and were absolutely delicious. For entrées, we went with a burger, skirt steak, and snow crab legs. The burger was very good, the skirt steak was again very good, and the snow crab legs tasted fresh and were delicious.

For dinner I had the Frutti Di Mare (Fruit of the Sea) over linguine. Others had the lasagn, veal cutlet parmigian. No one was disappointed and we all left with enough food for 2 more meals. At Vincent's it like you're at your Grandmothers table and you go home with a care package. You will NEVER be disappointed when you eat at Vincent's of Carle Place. They have all the original recipes from Vincent's of Little Italy and they are the only ones that do. Catherine

    Vincent's is a top-tier Italian family restaurant. The food is always delicious, with plenty of…read moreoptions to choose from, the prices are affordable, and the drinks are great as well. I've visited multiple times, and it has never disappointed me. Honestly, no matter what you order, you can't go wrong because everything is delicious--down to their huge garlic knots and fried calamari. My personal favorite is the Trio, and of course I have to pair it with their passion fruit sangria! The experience is made even better by the great customer service. The waiters and waitresses are always friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which I really appreciate. Good food is one thing, but good service definitely makes the experience that much better. Between the delicious food, affordable prices, great drinks, and consistently good customer service, Vincent's is one of those places I can always count on for a great experience. Definitely a favorite and a place I'll continue coming back to!

    Great food, wonderful people, and exceptional hospitality keep us coming back…read more My family and I have dined at Nunzi's By The Water several times over the years, in both the summer and winter, and every visit has been consistently outstanding. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming. In fact, our experiences were so positive that when it came time to celebrate my daughter's college graduation, there was no question where we wanted to host the dinner. We chose Nunzi's for a celebration with 20 guests, and they exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Owner Al was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, offering thoughtful menu recommendations and helping us create a memorable experience for our family and friends. Also careful to note any food allergies, and accommodate dietary considerations like gluten free and vegan. While his suggestions were excellent, truthfully, everything we've ordered at Nunzi's over the years has been fabulous. The quality of the food is consistently top-notch, portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable for the overall experience. The service deserves special recognition. The staff is attentive, friendly, and efficient, making sure everyone's needs were met without ever feeling intrusive. They also have just the right amount of playful sass and personality to keep you smiling throughout the evening, which adds to the restaurant's charm. Whether you're looking for a family dinner, a girls' night out, a romantic date night, or a venue for a private event or special celebration, I highly recommend Nunzi's By The Water.

Compared to the farmingdale location the ambiance of this one is giving forgotten step sister aside from the back table(pictured on the website)they did up very nicely. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very sweet and managed a basically full bar attending to every guest with care. We ordered the Italian nachos which we loved and the Picasso. The nachos had a generous amount of crumbled sausage cheese and bruschetta as well as some spicy peppers. We really enjoyed the nachos. The Picasso was a nice size, but the sandwich lacked a little seasoning and needed a little more balsamic. It felt kind of dry. For cocktails we got the strawberry lemon drop, it tasted a little medicinal and the cucumber lime spritz type drink(I can't recall the exact name). This one was very good. An overall very mixed experience but I want to give it another shot even if only for the nachos

    First of all, my apologies to my wife. I was planning on splitting the New England clam chowder…read morewith her but it didn't make it home. In fact, it didn't make it out of the parking lot (see photo for evidence). I have no regrets, that chowder was full of chunks of clams, potatoes, celery, and corn. Buttery, creamy, and filling. Barely had room left for the Buffalo chicken popcorn shrimp but somehow I managed. Crispy, well-sauced, with just the right amount of punch. Took it to go but looks like a fun place to stay and eat. I was in and out with my food and still three employees said "Thank you, have a good day" or some iteration of that phrase. First time ever here, see you again real soon!

    Loved it! It's not a…read morebig place--just five tables with four seats each in the enclosed "outdoor" dining area, plus the bar, which seats another dozen or so. But that's part of the charm. Cozy. Hometown. The New England clam chowder was superb. The fried clam strips were incredibly light and airy--not heavy or greasy at all. The steamed shrimp was flavorful, and the green salad was impressively fresh. The coleslaw was just mid for me--it needed a little more punch--but that's definitely a personal preference. This isn't cheap fast food. We spent about $100 for dinner for two, including tip, with no drinks. But the quality of the food made it feel worthwhile. Anthony was an absolute pleasure to meet. He shared a little of his family's history with the restaurant and we discussed family, travels, and other adventures. That personal interaction made an already great meal even more memorable. Great little spot with excellent seafood and a lot of personality. We'd happily come back!
