What a great seafood restaurant! Greenpoint Fish & Lobster has a fresh seafood counter to purchase items as well as a full restaurant. Be sure to make a reservation, as this spot is popular, especially on a nice weekend. We recently had a weekend brunch at one of the tables outside. Everything on the menu sounded good, but we decided on a couple of their specials. Started with the razor clams, which were cooked perfectly and topped with fresh herbs. We also had the fried soft shell crab sandwich with the side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was well balanced with the crunchy crab and herby aioli. The Caesar was light and refreshing. The fish and chips came with two fried filets of white fish and a basket of classic fries. The fish was lightly battered and flakey. The house made tartar sauce was a good complement to it. One of my top meals this year so far! Perfect summer meal! read more

Very simple place no frills with a few tables inside. We came in for a lobster roll while the food was very good, Service was not that great. Our waiter once he bought us the lobster rolls he then disappeared never returned to ask if we want more water. I would return again for the lobster roll or any other dishes, but I will not tip 20% in the future. read more

This restaurant gets pretty busy so best make a reservation in advanced. The lobsters rolls are phenomenal. When there pick up some fresh at the market in the front. Fish is fresh and prices are reasonable read more

Definitely a place to go for seafood! Not sure if I'd return for pasta (was not el dente and a bit overcooked), but this is definitely a place to go to for clams, oysters, lobster rolls, and fish and chips. It's a very cozy restaurant with a separate store front to purchase raw seafood. There's perhaps about 6-10 bar seats, and maybe 7 tables tops. The lobster rolls and fish and chips were executed extremely well, and we even got to watch our food being freshly cooked/prepared in front of us. Definitely will return! read more

Been wanting to come to this place for a while. Finally got here and it certainly didn't disappoint. Pretty decent size crowd flowing in and out. Food is really fresh and flavorful - not too salty! Really wanted the spicy salmon burger but they were sold out. On my list to try is their pot pie made with their fish of the day. Signs of a good place when a pot pie order will take 30min plus (made to order and made fresh). Only thing missing would be if this place also had a full bar. Beer, wine and soft drinks are a plenty. For a wintry Sunday night was happy to make it in here. read more

When I think seafood, I think Greenpoint Fish & Lobster. This place is truly a Greenpoint institution for happy hour, oysters, and amazingly fresh seafood. My go to's here are the oysters, shrimp cocktail, fried scallops (off menu) and the tuna burger. The seafood is always fresh and they have happy hour every day until 6pm which includes $2 oysters and beer/wine specials. The best time to go is in the warmer months where they have several tables outside. read more

Put our names in at 7:40 PM on a Friday for 2 people and were seated at 8:50 PM. (We were quoted 30 mins, but lol what can ya do). Got a drink and snack at Ask for Janice while we waited (highly recommended). The east coast oysters were amazing, which made up for the wait. Also loved the fish sandwich. Seated razor clams (special) and small Caesar salad rounded out the meal. Will be back for oyster HH and/or with a reservation! read more

This place is so lovely. When you walk in it's a fish market, then you see the open kitchen and seating area. They greeted us when we walked in, w head no reservations but were seated immediately luckily it wasn't a busy time. We order the lobster rolls Lobster bisque Clam chowder We order a lobster roll with fries and one with salad. The side were great, fresh cut fries are my favorite. Side salad came with a tasty vinaigrette. Lobster roll was packed with well lobster. Crispy toasted roll, very buttery. Honestly the best lobster roll. Lobster bisque was lovely, had some cinnamon & other spices in it, which added a depth of flavor I never realized lobster bisque needed. Truly unlike anything I've ever had before. Clam chowder was just ok. read more

Really great spot! I came here to celebrate a birthday and the waitress made it such a special experience. Food was awesome. We did the oysters, crudo, shrimp cocktail, lobster bisque and the whole lobster. Everything was excellent. They did a touch of olive oil and salt on the crudo and the shrimp and it blew my mind. SO tasty. It's also super cute inside, no frills but still very nice and a good date night vibe. I recommend the counter seats. Was cool to watch the chefs prepare our food! read more

One of my absolute favorite seafood spots in New York I honestly love this place it's become a go-to for me and my girlfriend. We came by on a Friday around 5 p.m. and tried all the specials for the day, plus some oysters. Everything was incredible. The seafood here always tastes super fresh and flavorful you can tell they really care about the quality and taste of their dishes. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the service is always on point, and the area itself is great to walk around before or after your meal. This spot never disappoints. Highly recommend! 5/5 read more

Absolutely love this spot. Upon walking in I saw a small fresh market with 2 lovely workers . The reso itself is rather small but they do have plenty of counter and outside space.

Had an amazing dining experience at Greenpoint Fish & Lobster! From start to finish, everything was spot-on -- the casual, laid-back vibe paired perfectly with the incredibly fresh seafood. The oysters were absolutely the highlight for me -- so fresh, briny, and perfectly shucked. You can really taste the quality, and it's clear they take a lot of pride in what they serve. I also loved how knowledgeable and friendly the staff were; they made some great recommendations that did not disappoint. read more

Absolutely delicious! 4 of us walked in (after putting names on the waitlist) on a Saturday at lunchtime and were seated right away outside. We were on a bit of a time crunch but service and food came quickly! Everything was fresh and delicious. The lobster meat in the lobster roll was absolutely perfect. Loved the $2 oyster special, too! Cute inside but small, so the outdoor seating was perfect. I do wish they had cocktails (maybe even canned options?) but otherwise everything was wonderful! read more

Greenpoint Fish & Lobster have long been on my radar. I was meeting friends for dinner and we decided to meet here. The dining room is tiny and that's one of the negatives of the spot. It's not really conducive for a leisurely and lingering dinner with friends. On the other hand the food was very good. Excellent quality and very delicious even though it's a bit on the pricey side. I'd say 3.5 stars. If they got a bigger space and it was a more comfortable experience I'd round up to 4. read more

Currently dreaming about their fish tacos topped with cholula and everything else that I ate there. Food was fresh. Staff was amazing.

Love the midday happy hour deal here! For $2 each you get high quality oysters, incredibly flavorful and more fresh than most other oyster happy hours. Seating is a bit tight but in the summer they open up the patio which has a chill vibe and a great place to relax with a few drinks and seafood. Service is pretty decent and they have a surprisingly nice restroom too. read more

Whoa! And Moe thought New England seafood restaurants were at the top of the pyramid..until I sauntered in here last evening. Our table of 4 devoured salt water deliciousness until we couldn't take any more. Briney plump oysters slurped commando without any sauce. Lightly fried bay scallops melted in my mouth like candy of the sea. My main was crazy fresh swordfish in panko with a caper lemon butter sauce. My table mates thought their meals were fine fine fine too. Anyway, next time I feel like heading to Boothbay Harbor, I might as well go down to Greenpoint Fish and be just as happy. This place almost redeems my terminal annoyance with Brooklyn. read more

You must get the scallop! It's so fresh - just add a squeeze of lemon and the chives that are hiding under the roe. The roe is the star of the show - it is lightly seared so there is a chew but the inside just melts in your mouth. I would come back just for this scallop dish. The oysters are fun to try and freshly shucked to order! They rotate the type of oysters - we were lucky and got to try the "fat bastard" oysters which was plump and juicy. The front of the store is a market and the back has some small tables and a bar for dining. It is nothing fancy but the food is fresh. read more

This is easily my new favorite lobster roll in NYC! Came here on a Saturday night - I would recommend making a reservation as tables are limited and there was a line when we left around 7pm. Inside has a few tables with a really nice space, but the majority of their seating is outdoors. Service was quick and attentive! We ordered lobster rolls (mine was with mayo and friends was with butter) and a shrimp cocktail to start. The shrimp cocktail was well priced and very fresh. I loved the touch of a bit of olive oil and salt! The lobster roll was overflowing with fresh plump lobster meat and I loved that the mayo one was not overdone with mayo, it was super light. Side pickle was perfectly crisp! My only complaint is that I wish the fries were more crispy, but other than that it was an awesome dinner! read more

The food was delicious and fairly quick! I had a craving for lobster and clam chowder, and this spot in Brooklyn really hit the mark for a seafood fix. The fish tacos and clam chowder were bursting with flavor--so satisfying. The bread that came with the lobster was a bit soggy and lacked taste, and at a whopping $35, I'm not sure it was worth it, though it did satisfy my craving. We ended the meal with a key lime pie that was simply divine!!! The service was fairly quick & smooth. read more

This seafood spot is top tier!! It's my new favorite spot to grab seafood and some wine, the happy hour is perfection. We got the east coast oysters, some of the best I've ever had. The green curry mussels changed my life the broth was sooo yummy I wanted to drink it. The baby scallops were also incredible and perfectly cooked. Couldn't have asked for a better meal! They even had my fav Spanish sauvignon blanc and gave us their key lime pie on the house. The service, atmosphere, and food are amazing don't hesitate to try this gem in Greenpoint! read more

sat outside at a little table that was pretty awkward. It really wasn't big enough and it was not stable . Our water spilled on us and it was just a little annoying. The place is very busy and the service is very, very good. I did not love the lobster bisque. I did love the razor clams special they had. The oysters were delicious. They definitely do not give you enough cocktail sauce, but we're very accommodating when I asked for more. The crudo was good but i'm not sure it's worth the price for what you get. The mussels are yummy. a bit spicy for me, but i can't handle any spice. lol. I would go back and sit inside. read more

Small, but busy seafood restaurant serving hot seafood options and also a raw bar. I highly recommend coming for HAPPY HOUR (even served on the weekends 12-6pm!) Make a res ahead of time, or put your name down and visit a local bar while you wait. We got a few orders of a dozen oysters ($19!!), the clam chowder, fish and chips, and daily crudo. The oysters are so worth it and I'd pair it with the fish and chips if you want something hot. Top it off with a crisp glass of rose, and you're golden! read more

Greenpoint Fish & Lobster was a great place to get a quick bite to eat! It has become my yearly tradition to get a lobster roll for my birthday, and they didn't disappoint. The amount of lobster you get is wild, and the salad was excellent. The chowder was good, and it was a significant portion. There was a seasoning in it that I couldn't figure out what made it unique to other chowders. They offered happy hour daily, and the staff was extremely friendly. It was a cute place to enjoy a glass of wine and a lobster roll. I will go back! read more

This is a small restaurant/fish market combo. I ate at the restaurant during its happy hour. The happy hour is a fantastic deal with a delicious East coast oyster treat and discounted wine and cocktails. We stayed for dinner and loved the lobster roll with good fries. My husband enjoyed his tuna fillet. The bottom line I look forward to a return meal. read more

This place is one of my lists of restaurants I want to go. During the day especially, early afternoon was a good time to go without line and craziness. Happy hour is from 12-6PM but for the drinks is only 4PM. I got 2 glasses of Muscadet, 1/2 dozen of east oysters and 1/2 dozen of clams. Also got cup of small chowder. Food is fresh and service is good. I just wanted to try to get to know if I will bring more friends for fresh seafood. Overall, the place is good and recommended come during the day, not on weekends. read more

My expectations were high: I'd been before on an especially hungover Sunday and was blown away. I remember enjoying a tuna tostada, but it was the fried fish sandwich that really left an impression. My order wasn't dissimilar this time; starting with a dozen oysters, and followed by the famed sammy (both of which I shared with a friend). The oysters were a 10. Middling in size (my preference), fresh and brimming with flavour. Then came the sandwich. Yes, it was delicious, but it was always going to be delicious. Tartar sauce, fried fish, brioche: as long as the chef doesn't have distain for the customers, it's gonna be great. I was forced to accept that during my last visit I had whatever the hangover equivalent of 'beer goggles' is. I was in such a state of utter desperation that disappointment was unlikely. But now, in the cold light of sobriety, I was able to see each of this burgers foibles. Chief among them, the dull, even obstructive mound of shrettuce that sat beneath (was it above? I'm not sure.) the fish. It added little (nothing), obscured a little more, and left plenty to be desired. Would I come again? Obviously. I have hungrily thought about this meal multiple times since walking out the door. But is it one of the best fish sandwiches I have ever had (as I thought may be the case)? Certainly not. It is a shame you cannot give half stars, because 4 is too low, and 5 is too high. I'll have to go with 4: great place, highly recommend. read more
