Best for take-out or delivery, though dine-in option is available, if you don't mind the smell of fresh seafood on display for sale, steps away. The atmosphere is friendly and ok for a quick bite, but it's not exactly inviting as it mainly functions as a fresh fish store and quick kitchen, but there are casual outdoor seating options in the warmer months. No wait service, it's all casual and self serve. The entrées are served with a side of steamed yellow rice, or French fries, fresh lemon and a fresh lettuce, tomato, and cucumber salad. A delicious choice for dinner on any given night cooked to perfection . 1/2 pound filets / steaks (around $10-$15) or 1 pound filets / steaks (around $20-$25). Strongly recommend trying some sides too, the shrimp ceviche is really good, so are the fried clams, fried scallops, and fried or broiled shrimp. The people working there have been there for decades and are always friendly and polite. Food is prepped quickly, prep times are not long.

Food-wise, I had the potato pierogies, street corn, mozzarella wedges, chicken marsala tidbits, and Bantry wings (dry, with the sauce on the side, it was supposed to be honey sriracha but tasted like plain sriracha). The street corn and pierogies were my favorites; the wings were alright. Service started off well but slowed down as the crowd grew. They seemed short-staffed for the influx. Overall, a decent spot to catch a game, just be ready for a wait.

I've been here twice - my recommendation is the Court Square Breakfast Wrap, which was quite good and came with a big serving of home fries. I did recently get the two eggs with toast and turkey bacon, and this was not as great; the bacon lacked flavor and the food was a bit too greasy. The ambience is solid and reminiscent of a classic old-school diner, and service is quick. Overall, this spot is super convenient and a solid (and maybe one of the only) late night spots in the area. If you want some decent diner food or a place to grab food late at night with friends, this is the spot. Otherwise, I would look first at the other great food options in the area!

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 8 Four of us came here because I heard their fish and chips are very good. I am a sucker for this famous British/Irish deep fried goodness. Well, I can say without a doubt that this version is excellent (8.5/10) as described. The dish comes with three pieces that are crispy and tender. However, they gotta make a better tartar sauce than the ones they served in packets. Also, we switched out chips for onion rings. They were fantastic! I also really enjoyed their French Onion Soup (8/10) and the Shepherds Pie (7.5/10). The soup was flavorful without being too salty like most restaurants, while the pie had relatively fluffy mash potato with tasty ground beef mixture. The only item that was a slight letdown was the Chicken Pot Pie (6/10). The puff pastry was decent and so was the cream sauce. The problem was the overcooked and dry chicken breast meat. Our server was very friendly and always had a smile on her face. Btw, even though the space was basically a dive bar, the energetic 60's and 70's music was definitely a plus. Therefore, I gave it a slightly higher score for decor. All in all, this was a great experience.

And that is why I boycotted them. Everything was very lax at that time, with little enforcement from the SLA. In October, my partner and I headed back to try their Irish breakfast and to see how things had improved. At the time, a large party was being held in their backroom, and we were not prepared to wait forever. We asked to speak with the owner, Mike Peacock, and told him we had to be at church to ring the church bells. We appreciated his dedication to getting us our food on time, but to be really honest, the Irish breakfast was not the best that could have been made.

I cannot believe I lived in this area this long and never had their brunch! Shame on me!!!!! When…read morewe walked in on a saturday at around 1:30pm it was pretty packed. There was seating in the front in the corner. I was very happy about this because its snowing outside and I love watching the snow fall. They have $11 Bellini with $5 refills which isn't so bad. I ordered the Fluffy omelet with veggies. I was pleasantly surprised when I bit into the goat cheese. Cheese is always a win in my book!!! The eggs were made well there was NO shell thank kittens! There was also a garden salad with toast! I love that we get our own butter to put on the toast, some places put too much butter. $17 for my food in case that is important to anyone. :::BATHROOM ALERT::: LOVE that it is unisex. Its very roomy! There is a nice wooden changing tables for the mommas and the papa. The bathroom is kept clean which is always a green flag! You treat the bathroom good usually the food is good. Good amount of soap and toliet paper! Very happy about this! The service was good for how packed it was, I appreciate the wait staff! I love that there was a little cherry at the bottom of my Bellini. They have whatever game playing and music at the same time. I wasn't watching the American soccer game just enjoying the vibes and the music. The menu is a QR code, no paper menus lets go!! They have a lot of draft beers here that you can check out in other yelpers posts. The non alcoholic section of booze is very cool, everyone is included. This place is also kid friendly. This place isn't for you if you're impatient to get drunk! The decor is a wood feel like you're upstate in a cabin. Very cozy! I love the steam punk looking lights! Very rustic feel to the corner spot that we were sitting in. I didnt catch their wifi password but I'm sure if you ask they will give you the password. There is outlets under the bar to charge your phone. Also in the front where we were there was an outlet in the other corner. While they don't take reservations I could see myself coming back with a group to sit in the corner. I wonder what their Friday nights are like. I don't recommend takeout, come to their location and enjoy the food fresh.

The spice box was really tasty! The curry sauce was realllll addictive and the spicy/salty/smokey sweet balance hit perfectly. It's a bit oily and the chicken was slightly dry, but the flavor more than made up for it. If you close your eyes and drink enough of their beers on draft, you could probably convince yourself you're in Dublin after a night out. The ambiance was solid with a cozy indoor setup and small outdoor section. I can only speak for the ~5:30pm ambiance, but the night vibe here was apparently good enough that my friend's friend got a girl's number here. Service was chill and friendly. Price-wise, $23 for chicken and fries felt steep, but the very reasonable happy hour beer pricing balanced the scales. Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a classic Irish pub in LIC or if TikTok convinced you to hunt down a spice bag.

The staff are so welcoming and warm it's like being served by friends and family. The seafood options here seem bigger than other places, though they didnt have my favorite octopus on this day. There's also a huge variety of sides to pick from. The only con I can possibly name is that we both smelled so strongly like fried calamari after dining here that I could only smell calamari on our clothes at our new year's party several hours later! Maybe poor ventilation or just a very busy day. Cannot wait to come back to Astoria Seafood. Very casual dining experience - a must for seafood lovers no frills and great value.

You can order hot, readymade foods and/or grab a plastic bag and pick your seafood at the raw bar (an array of whole fish, fish fillets, squid, octopus, crab legs, squid, shrimp, lobster tails etc.). I picked out 4 squids and 6 scallops that ran me $21. They allow you to choose how the seafood will be cooked-- I fried my calamari and grilled my scallops. The fried calamari was the best calamari I've had. It was meaty inside and tender, with not too much breading, paired with yummy tartar sauce. Weirdly, when the scallops were served to me, there was 1-2 missing. Um ok? It was bathed in olive oil and was scrumptious. Overall, the seafood was super fresh and tasted amazing. I have to come back to try grilled octopus and whole fish! Also, the server lady was nice knowing it was my first time there, but as I was leaving the joint, she solicited me for tip, telling me that "tip was not included in the price paid". Weirded out, I gave her a $5 bill, and looked up the reviews of this place to find that sometimes the servers will approach you for tip and have even been known to chase you down the block if you leave without tipping. Super weird, but whatever, they work hard I guess. I'd come back... for now.

The ones we had been to in the past usually allows you to also pick different type of cooking style or seasoning but this place only cooks it their way. It's good for people who are indecisive but disappointing for people who want variety of flavor. They usually have a section of appetizers and drinks you can order on a separate menu as well. The staffs were very low energies when we visited on a weekend night. The overall ambiance and interaction made us feel a little uncomfortable. We ordered: - eggplant dip - fries - Greek salad (large) - cooked fish - calamari - octopus Honestly I was so disappointed with the food. It didn't taste as fresh and was overall too salty. The eggplant dip had a weird taste. Friend fries were not as crispy and unevenly distributed portions of salt. The calamari was nothing special. The fish was okay, and the octopus was so salty we actually sent back the dish. It was very difficult to enjoy it. The staff was so accommodating and actually took the dish off our bill. (Thank you!! - great customer service!). My favorite item was probably the Greek salad, but then again it's hard to mess up a salad. I would say this is my least favorite counter order style seafood restaurant in Astoria. My friend said great things about it prior to my visit and I really wish I would have liked it.
