Amazing selection of fresh seafood. The swordfish we picked up was wild-caught, and it seems like most of their offerings are as well, which is rare to find. Everything looked very fresh, from the oysters and clams to the jumbo shrimp. I noticed they also had some frozen Chilean sea bass, so that may be something to try next time. If you love seafood, this is a great spot to pick up quality ingredients and make a standout meal at home. read more

I had the $40 Lobster Roll (Market Price) which was a generous serving of lobster and came with amazing fries and on a perfectly toasted and buttery roll. There was some seasoning on the lobster and I would have preferred it with just butter but this is something that I'd been craving for a while, so I left happy. My friend got the lobster bake which for $20 was an entire lobster, so I definitely felt like my roll was a bit overpriced, but alas it was what I was craving. Not the best lobster roll I've had but it hit the spot. Tip: There is a farm stand across the street that has the most amazing homemade ice cream for $4. If the freezer is empty make sure to ask if they have any in the back. read more

Cool spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Ordered fried crab sandwich which was good Fried chicken sandwich also very good Fish tacos were very good as well Yummy fries Order inside and they deliver your dish to your table whether inside or outside. Perfect for families! read more

Braun Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Cutchogue, New York

This is a regular for us. We look forward to going there. They have a great assortment of truly fresh seafood. I have never had anything that I didn't like from here and we have been going for years. I know there are other seafood markets out there but we're so hooked on Brauns that's the only one we go to now. If you want a nice fish sandwich or some to go food that's already cooked they have that too. We have done that a few times and we're equally impressed. read more

Very fresh fish, shrimps and oysters. Got the friend combo. The young staff very professional and attentive. I'm not a big fish eater but it was good. My two critiques would be it's so hot they need to pump up the AC and they need to season the batter cause it was bland. Easily fixed. read more

Stopped in for a piece of fish for the family. Bought a beautiful piece of cod. Friendly service and fresh fish.

This place is awesome! Their seafood is super fresh and the staff is so helpful! Def call ahead to make sure they have what you're looking for as they do sell out of high demand items. Got 3 lobsters (thankfully! Had I waited longer to call, they might not have had any!) Not unreasonably priced, either! read more

Braun Seafood - Tommy, and his beautiful preparation - Seafood Near Me - Cutchogue, New York

Great friendly service! unfortunately, the food itself is a total disappointment. Maybe I came on the wrong day, but the main entrées were burnt- the salmon and the swordfish (catch of the day!). Not just slightly burnt, but completely burnt taste. You really can't taste the fish- Literally, asking for colon cancer kinda burnt. The lady that came in after us complained about the burger tasting burned and disgusting. they were nice enough to switch her order. As my brother describes it, even the rice taste better than the fish. The fries and chicken tender was pretty good. My son enjoyed the garlic buttered mussels. Over alll, this place is over priced for a small portion of food. I'd say you're better off eating fast food. read more

A gem on the North Fork. They've been around since 1928 and, obviously, they've got seafood down cold (and hot). Get the mahi taco trio or, if they have it with swordfish, even better. Soups are excellent. The corn-and-shrimp chowder is a standout, though it's a special so it is not always available. The fried shrimp basket is recommended; the fries are superb. The fish market is also excellent. Thanks for great seafood, Ken and the entire Braun team. read more

The freshest seafood you are going to find on the North Fork. For years we have been enjoying their fish and shell fish at their outdoor picnic tables . In the past the staff has been snippy and unfriendly and it ruined the experience. Thankfully this season, the counterperson is polite, helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the sweetest most delish little neck clams on the half shell and tasty fried calamari to start. The soft shell crabs were a large size, cooked to perfection. Cole slaw was creamy and flavorful. read more

This review is for the seafood market - which is excellent! Stopped here twice last week. First time for a few pounds fresh clams and mussels. The best ever. Made a seafood dinner for 12 people and every shellfish opened up! Then got 8 huge swordfish filets and 2lbs of Salmon. Best swordfish I ever had. I thought there would be leftovers - but everyone polished their plates. Total repeat! read more

I bought the clam strip dinner at Braun's. Worst clam strips I have ever had. Tough little nibit's of breaded material with a lot of little balls of scrap material left over from the frying process. Other selections on the menu are good. I wouldn't buy the clam strips again. read more

Our new favorite restaurant on the North Fork!! Who knew after all the years we have been coming and staying on The North Fork that most restaurants are closed on Tuesdays. Not us! Lucky for us we had been driving past and after a quick u-turn we found ourselves a treasure of scrumptious food ....a very casual but very good seafood restaurant. We even drove out to Greenpoint and nothing open... The staff and the chef could not be friendlier. I alerted the young lady who took our order that I have a dairy allergy and she wrote it on our order. The chef came out a short while later to say that my choice was not a good one for me. He happily helped me with finding something that could work and he made it just so very yummy!! We will happily be returning and enjoying this delicious restaurant. Pat & Rick read more

Stopped for lunch, had the lobster bisque which was delicious and a large serving. Shared blackened Mahi-mahi and fried fish sandwich both generous portions of fish. Excellent food served with yummy fries. Wait staff was great. Five stars for food read more

We mess our first visit to Brauns after seeing their feature on News 12 East End. They have 2 areas, one that acts as a restaurant (no table side service)and one as a seafood sure where you can get fresh seafood. We first day in the restaurant. We ordered the the lobster roll and the lobster taco which were both amazing. We then went into the fish store where they have an amazing selection of fresh fish, great lobster specials and frozen seafood as well. I ordered a beautiful weakfish and red snapper which was fileted and porgy too. All the fish was truly amazing, fresh and delicious! We will definitely be back!!!! read more

I can't speak for the fresh seafood because we've never bought from that side, but their to-go deli food is to die for. The fried clam strips and friend scallops are incredible...and their homemade tartar sauce is just delicious. It's quite a far drive for us to visit, but when we're out on the north fork we always stop by to grab some lunch for the ride home. They have a nice outdoor seating area with picnic tables as well as a few tables indoors. Friendly staff and quick service! read more

For the restaurant: Very fresh. Stuffed flounder had a bit too much lemon for me. Fried calamari, excellent. Clam chowder, delicious. The tomatoes in the lobster roll was a bit odd. But ordering to go for 10 people they handled it correctly and ready in 40 minutes. read more

This was a great find. We walked over from our anchorage in the middle of Cutchogue Harbor. It's a paper plates and plastic forks type of place, but the seafood was amazing. Whole 1.25 lb lobster for $20 the day we were there. I had the fish tacos. Delicious. Very friendly service. read more

Had lunch there today. Braun's has a walk up area to order "quick" items. I tried the swordfish tacos. There were three tacos on small flour tortillas served with packets of hot sauce. The flavor with the hot sauce was good but couldn't really find the swordfish. Once I finally saw a little piece on my taco, it had not flavor. They also don't have any unsweetened ice tea or unsweetened snapple. Husband had a fried flounder sandwich on a brioche roll. The roll was thick and you needed to take off one side of the roll to enjoy the fried flounder. The fish was good. It was served with fries and slaw. Tables were far enough apart that you felt safe. It was a beautiful day to be outside! read more

LOVE! Food so fresh. Atmosphere clean and open. 5-6 tables inside, more outside. Definitely a great spot for lobster rolls or any other classic seafood dishes! (We had lobster roll & fish & chips. DELISH!!) read more

We are so lucky to live on Stillwater Ave. Brauns will never disappoint you. Now they have a new chef and she is beyond amazing!

Was there 2-3 months ago and the food was very good, however, something has changed since then. Baked clams mostly onion and celery. The fried flounder sandwich was tasteless and the taste of the Po' Boy was not identifiable. Not a good day. read more

A fantastic selection of fresh fish! I also appreciate how they label the origin of each type of fish, although they told me that all fish mongers are supposed to display that information. Super-friendly and knowledgeable staff and clean establishment. Decent prices! We got a couple filets of blackfish, and a couple blowfish. Excellent quality! We will definitely be back! read more

I've been here several time. A great place to get fresh fish. Awesome fish market but also a great place to pick up food to go. Salmon and flounder are delicious. They have a dill sauce that is to die for. read more

Casual seafood place - my first time after it recently reopened. We had the fried shrimp with fries and a shrimp burger - both were very good and the portions were great. Ate under a tent on a nice day- Is a good summer go to. Young Ladies in the place were nice too. read more

Braun Seafood is a local treasure. The restaurant and the fish market both serve consistently delicious fish and seafood. It is our go-to spot in the area for takeout, whether a fully prepared meal to eat at the picnic tables outside or fish to bring home and grill ourselves. If you are going to the restaurant, you can order ahead from an extensive menu or order at the counter once you arrive. There are a few tables inside -- nothing fancy, just a spot to sit down and eat the delicious food. When the weather is nice, the picnic tables outside are the way to go, and you can top off the meal with ice cream or dessert at Scoops and Grinds right next door. There is no table service, but the staff behind the counter is friendly, efficient and knowledgeable about the menu. If you are going to the fish market, you will be greeted with an excellent selection of fresh fish and knowledgeable and friendly staff to help you make the best choices. Overall, if you like fish/seafood and you are on the North Fork, you should know (and love) Braun's. read more

Braun Seafood - Outside lunch ! Steamed lobster, lobster poutine, lobster roll! - Seafood Near Me - Cutchogue, New York

While all the seafood at their fish market looked very fresh with potential to be cooked to perfection, the food ordered at the cafe was sadly not. The pan seared scallops was burnt to be chewy as erasers while the risotto was very salty, the side of cornbread was very dense instead of light and airy, the miso corn on the cob was missing the miso on the one ear of corn but heavily sprinkled on the other. The only reason it got two stars was because the miso butter cod was cooked just right as was the bok choy.. Just go buy the fresh raw fish and cook it yourself! read more

Wasn't a big fan of this seafood market/ eatery in Cutchogue that serves basic fried fish platters, soups, sandwiches, salads and steamed lobster. Started with two plump but blasé crab cakes that lacked flavor and crab. Got the fried flounder which was under seasoned and bland served over over salty fries. Tried the fried shrimp platter as well and the batter, like the flounder was just boring. Service at the counter was fine and prices are a tad steep. The fish was fresh but they seriously need to season the batter. Not going to return and not recommended. read more

Brauns used to have one of the best shrimp baskets on the north fork, but not today. Eating there this afternoon was a miserable experience. Fried shrimp tasted like it was cooked in old oil and the batter was awful tasting. Two others with me got fried baskets of fish, oysters, and shrimp. They agreed. Oil tasted like it was well spent. We used to have a clam bar, bar, and restaurant in Rockaway Beach, NY. We know seafood. Sad to see a great place like Braun's go down hill. I even asked the girl, "Did this place change hands?" To which she replied, it's still Brauns. I sincerely doubt that. $75 for three fried shrimp/ combo baskets and one soda. My only regret is not taking one bite and saying "Oh hell no, you can have nastiness back." But I ate half of the tortured fries. read more

Told 10 minute wait - after 25 minutes went up to counter to find my order just sitting there. They had forgotten to call out my name. Seemed quite disorganized. No apology rendered. Steamers - too sandy to even attempt to eat. No cups of water to dip / clean in Crab cakes - nothing special and serving size made me laugh when I saw them; thimble sized Scallops and shrimp combo - way way way overcooked. Scallops were extremely rubbery, perhaps because they had been sitting behind the counter too long. Swordfish - dry / flavorless Sides of potato and asparagus - overcooked Fish market ok (not as good as Southold fish market), but the grill is a hard NO for future meals. read more

This is a review of the seafood market not the restaurant. Braun's has been around for many years selling fresh seafood. They have a great selection of local fish including whole fish, fillets and shell fish. The price reflects seasonality of the fish. If the fish is in season the price is reasonable. If you are looking for something out of season expect to pay more. They sell the famous Peconic scallops when in season. This year looks to be a good season for local scallops, hopefully prices reflect that. Each fish tray indicates where the fish come from. They also sell prepared products such as clam chowders and lobster bisque. One item to look for that you won't find anywhere else is clam pie. Yes I said clam pie and it taste great and is filling. Great on cold winter days. They have a large parking lot. Staff is terrific. Always friendly and knowledgeable. Don't be afraid to ask about how to prepare certain types of fish that you are not familiar with. Lines can be long during the busy season but they move quickly. read more

I love lobster rolls and like to try them wherever and whenever I can. Many times there's too much mayo, celery or spices. But at Brauns it's just right. The lobster is the star. What was especially nice and rare to find is that the lobster was cooked perfectly. The meat wasn't chewy at all. It reminded me of the best rolls from maine. The only negative is the price. So I won't be having it too often but I will be back. Oh and try the lobster bisque too. One of the most flavorful I have ad in awhile. read more

I get takeout from Braun's every summer. This year, what a disappointment. The pan seared scallops were OK, but the side of swiss chard was 90% stems, and the 'white bean ragu' was just some white beans added in. 'Charred lemon' was a lemon wedge with one small charred line on it. read more

I love Braun, for fresh fish this is one of the best(as is Southold Fish Market) places on the North Fork, but if you are going to be a great fish market and restaurant you need to have the very best lobster roll. The salty tomato laden mess that they served on a hero roll - stinks. $30 - I ordered without looking at the price. This was my second and last lobster related mishap at Braun - last time I ordered a lb. of lobster salad and was very surprised to find shrimp in it. Very disappointing. Next time I will buy a lobster and make the lobster roll myself - by the way, the only bread you need for a great lobster roll is a hot dog roll. read more

I have lived on the North Fork for 20 years and I have always purchased fresh fish and seafood from Southold Fish Market: Charlie's portions, prices, and quality are unmatched. Driving on Rt. 25 the other day, my friend and I decided to try Braun Seafood for the first time ever. Big mistake. I ordered a shrimp roll on brioche and my girlfriend ordered the mahi-mahi on brioche. The shrimp salad was rancid- the smell, the taste, and the consistency were not up to restaurant-standard, let alone what one should find at a fish market! Even just two bites of this shrimp roll made me very sick and I had to throw the rest of it away. The mahi sandwich was only marginally better, still tasting like they pulled it from the back of the freezer, the sandwich consisted of mostly bread. They didn't even give us our side of coleslaw (as if that could've made things better). I have never been more disappointed or more disgusted with a meal in my whole life. Please, if you're on the North Fork and you want fresh fish save yourself and DO NOT go to Braun's. read more

Food was very good. Lobster roll was crying for more seasoning but was very fresh. My only complaint is the lack of urgency with the cooks. If you're willing to wait for fast food then definitely stop by and if you're having the lobster roll, request lemon and salt. read more

bad: food is fair quality, small portions for the high price only single-use plastic utensils no water available, customers must pay $2 per bottle menu at their website is an error msg, when inquiring about the blank menu online, answer was: "It should be there" poor response to a customer good: food served in cardboard take-out container read more

I love this market. Their pre made options are really great and the seafood is always very fresh. The stuffed clams are really good and the portobello mushroom stuffed with seafood stuffing is excellent. I like their fish sandwiches and wraps that are sold in the fish market restaurant next door. Nice location and parking always available. read more
