    light and tender calamari
    Nicole J.

    Omg love the food here. I had fried calamari and fries, it was amazing. The calamari were so tender and fresh. The fries were cooked just right, have already been back 3 times

    Always a great experience here! I ordered the half lbs of clams and head-off shrimp, with a side of favorite - garlic noodles! My partner opted for the fried shrimp, which came with a good portion for the price ice. The person in charge was warm and friendly. We witnessed him chatting with several customers, making everyone feel welcome. The venue was cold.

    Very good

    Very good ,The seafood is delicious and not too expensive. I've eaten at this brand many times at many branches. I recommend it. There's a promotion on Thursdays, which is good.

    Shrimp and Garlic Noodles

    Favorite place to visit in New York. I come each time i visit my sister. Fast friendly service.

    Adult CapriSuns. I think this was the berry vodka concoction.

    I have passed this place quite a few times over the past few years and was like let's check it out. I'm glad that my impulsive side won out. From start to finish everything was pretty fantastic. Our hostess/waitress was pretty much on top of everything, and we did not have to wait more than 2 minutes for anything. Overall, the food (and drinks) were pretty fabulous. My partner and I went with the two pick boil (shrimp and mussels) plus sausage. Shortly after digging into the bag, I wished that we added one more crustacean to the mix. While the two pic boil was enough, I think that I was being greedy with the consideration of adding one more seafood item to the bag. We did add an order of fried calamari to our feast, but it did not compare to the seafood boil. Looking forward to visiting again.

    Great place. And amazing staff they're super attentive. The food was great. My only wish is that they put more sauce inside the bag. Also I ordered a lemonade drink and it had no flavor. it tasted like watered down lemonade :( Overall great place for some seafood boil.

    Funnel Cake Fries with Vanilla Ice Cream
    Jessica H.

    Got the fisherman platter with soft shell crab and seafood boil with shrimp, sausage, corn, and potato. The soft shell crab was 3 LARGE whole crabs and was so hot and crispy. Loved seasoned Cajun fries, too! Seafood boil was pretty tasty and 2 pounds was enough for two. And the funnel cake fries and delicious! Great pricing and service, will def be back!

    Coleslaw, Garlic Noodles, Shrimp Basket
    Cheryl P.

    We ordered a few things here via ubereats for dinner the other day: the fried shrimp basket (came with fries), and sides of garlic noodles and coleslaw. We were impressed by how crispy the fries were even though they were delivered and the noodles were very flavorful (not to mention that they were a relatively unique side to offer in the first place). We wished that there had been a few more shrimp in the basket serving, and that they had been dipped in a thicker batter (may be just a personal preference though), but overall we really enjoyed our meal from here!

    Pick 2 Cajun Boil
    Natasha L.

    I've ordered their seafood boil via DoorDash twice now - both times I got shrimp and mussels dressed in their signature sauce (with an extra request to have that extra spicy haha) and with a side of garlic noodles. Their sauce is so TASTY! And their shrimp has been good both times - I got the head-on shrimps. I like getting the garlic noodles on the side and alternating between eating it as is and then dipping it in some of their thick, delicious sauce. The mussels I've gotten both times are a little on the smaller side, but they are still pretty good and I'd definitely get them again! The fact that they give you additional garlic noodles or fries for getting two boils is pretty generous (and just portion-wise, they are definitely way better than another place that does Cajun closer to the Harlem area). The boil also came with potatoes as well as orn the second time I got this (I only got corn the first time haha but I love me some corn). Really filling and definitely allows for a second meal! I'll probably be ordering from them quite a few times in the months to come :)

    Sausage, clams, corn, potatoes and shrimp

    This restaurant charges an automatic 18% gratuity for tables as small as four people WITHOUT telling customers that they're doing this.

    Is there a happy hour? If so, when is it?

    I don't know maybe. Call the location and ask

    What's in the fisherman's platter?

    Pescado

    I tried to call to make a reservation for this upcoming Saturday and it says the voicemail is full and it doesn't allow me to speak to someone. Is there another way I can make a reservation? I would love to visit on Saturday to celebrate a birthday!

    Try calling the general questions line. I called and was put through. You might be calling the wrong number?

    Is this the same owners as the one in fort lee New Jersey?

    Yes.

    What types of drinks do they have in the adult Capri suns?

    I believe one of them was a kind of rum punch. They put their own spin on tropical cocktails.

    Had SUCH an amazing experience at Bird Dog the other weekend - some of the best food and service…read moreI've had in the Village in a while! Our server (I think Brian?) was super attentive and charismatic, and walked us through the menu right away. The server had the whole floor and the place is VERY tiny, but I never felt like the service was fake. Wine and beer only (to alert my cocktail lovers), but luckily for us we were in the middle of dry January so although I very much appreciate a cocktail it wasn't too much of a problem. What really shines is the food - just WOW! We were a table of three so we each did the Three-Course meal and shared: Biscuits to start: AMAZING! First Course: Burrata, Pimento Cheese, and Collard Greens Second Course: Ravioli, Gnocchi, and Tagliatelle. Special shoutout to the Reuben-flavored ravioli and Chicken & Dumpling flavored Gnocchi Third Course: Nashville Fried Chicken, and Catfish Everything tasted so so so good and original - I've quite literally never had anything like any of the pastas we tried. The one tiny critique I have is that I don't think a slice of white bread under the fried chicken was necessary. I know it's tradition but I didn't need it with all of the other amazing amazing food we had. All of the desserts sounded absolutely amazing but unfortunately we were all so full and had a show to run to, but I will 100% be back hopefully multiple times and will know for the next time to save some room. Overall 10/10. Definitely recommend getting a reservation as the entire space is maybe 15 seats total!

    Been wanting to try this southern pasta spot in WV for a while and finally had the chance to stop…read moreby for dinner. It's an interesting spot, split seating into two locations but single kitchen. Both seating spots are pretty small/intimate, so expect to get to know your neighbors! We did the pre fixe, so started with the sweet potatoes and hush puppies. The honey butter that comes with the hush puppies was the highlight, so delish but rich. Next the pastas: star of the night! We got the Miso Carbonara Tagliatelle and the Lamb Ragu Orecchiette. Miso carbonara was rich and scrumptious, umami bomb. I'm normally a cream sauce girlie over red, but the lamb ragu stole the show. Super tender chunks of lamb and the pasta was perfectly al dente. Incredible pastas! The mains were okay, pork chop was a bit too salty and the fried catfish was really underwhelming. Service is good, very friendly and efficient. Decor inside is cute too. I think I misordered, if i came back would def stick to the pastas and maybe try the fried chicken. They apparently have a pasta happy hour with half-off pastas, would come back for that.

    The food here is incredible. Large portions and prices that are refreshing to see in this economy…read more I was visiting from the south and had given up on finding a solid, delicious dinner until I lucked up on this restaurant. Service was great and the restaurant was pleasant and filled with natural light. We didn't have a reservation but there was no problem to be seated quickly and served promptly. Took off one star because a member of my dinner party had trouble returning their side of collard greens due to it being too salty. A staff member who wasn't our original waitress, pressed them to choose another one. So I'm not sure if this restaurant allows you to take an item off the bill if it misses the mark but I'd still return in a heartbeat.

I was warmly greeted right away,…read moreand the staff took the time to actually chat while my table was being prepared, which made the whole experience feel genuine and welcoming. The food is the real spotlight. The smothered chicken with collard greens and mac and cheese is a must. The yams were perfectly done but definitely on the sweeter side, so just something to keep in mind. I already know I need to come back to try the fried chicken next time. If you are looking for a traditional Southern brunch at a true neighborhood staple, this is the place. I only wish I lived closer.
