Captains Classic Hamburger
Stacy D.

This is a great casual spot right on the marina with a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful water views. The food was really good, the cocktails were just as enjoyable, and the service was warm and friendly. Perfect place to unwind and enjoy the scenery with a drink in hand.

Chef's Maine Lobster Roll with Sweet Potato fries
James A.

I'm calling this review "Come Monday". Why you ask? Because I came here on a Monday afternoon. We weren't expecting to see much of a crowd but when we were brought onto the deck, the outdoor bar was full and lively. There are some high top tables so we grabbed one along with some drinks (a landshark in case you were wondering. See, "Come Monday" makes even more sense now, huh)... Our server, Shaliq, was incredible, making sure we were well taken care of. And the food was awesome. The shrimp nachos were very tasty and the lobster roll was exactly what I hoped for with plenty of meat (at a very reasonable price).

I end up at the Harbor Crab every so often. Every time I've been there it has been a good experience. I am usually there late afternoon/early evening on a Friday for some reason. This time we got clams on the half shell, fish and chips, and the scampi that had shrimp and scallops. Everything was delicious, especially the scampi. Our server was wonderful and we got to sit outside on the deck. It wasn't the warmest night but it was enjoyable. The bathroom was clean, just as the rest of the place. I will continue to go back and would recommend you do the same.

Oyster Po Boy
William V.

I have been here a few times and always have a good experience. Came in on a Saturday around 3:30 for a late lunch. There were a few tables with people eating inside. There is also an outside seating area near the parking lot. I have also sat at a table that is on the dock. There is an inside bar as well as an outside bar that is right on the water. Today I had the oyster poboy. It came out real quick because there were not many people there. It came with fries and a pickle. It definitely was a little messy because it was so full hit I enjoyed it.

Mariscada
Dan H.

On the water in Patchogue, LI, this place has something for everyone in a casual, albeit dated, setting. Food was very good as one would expect, and they have specials every night. With a great bar overlooking the marina and ample outdoor seating it will become a favorite when visiting friends and family in LI. At a later seating on a Tuesday I ordered the mariscada and it was ok. It didn't have enough rice to absorb/complement the gravy in the stew to MY taste. My wife ordered the lobster roll said it tasted good with perhaps a bit too much onion. We returned the next day a bit earlier in the evening with my son and his spouse and was told the crab cake and hamburger sandwiches were very tasty. I will say the French fries they serve were just about perfect and can tell they used fresh oil both nights.

Came here for restaurant week. The service was good. Our waitress was so friendly. The restaurant is near a dock so on a nice day it would have a great view. Most of everything we ordered was delicious. For the price we were surprised by the amount of food given. I got the coconut shrimp and the shrimps were jumbo. The sauce that it came with was delicious. Hubby got the tuna wonton which was probably our favorite thing. I got the shrimp and clam del chef and it was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The clams had no sand luckily. Hubbys lobster roll wasn't that great. It was super salty and the lobster seemed overcooked. The fries were good though. We were so full that we had to take the dessert together. Hub loved the chocolate cheesecake but my chocolate peanut butter pie was overly sweet.

Was REALLY looking forward to coming back here for restaurant week and waited an entire year to return. We waited a while in the front for our table to be ready. Waited a while for our server to appear. Food was only ok this year. Nothing like how it blew us away last year. I ordered the Kona Scallops again because it was one of my favorite dishes last time. Not this time. It was not good. My husband ordered the strip steak, which was extremely veiny and chewy, along with a bad baked potato. The only thing that saved the meal was dessert.

Went here for restaurant week. The restaurant was not busy. Waitress was very attentive and took our orders. We went with prix fix menu. I had baked clams, meh. Very bready not very clammy. My husband had the lobster bisque and enjoyed it. We both ordered broiled lobster. Meh. It came with potatoes that needed to be thrown out a week ago and water logged corn on the cob. For dessert my husband had rice pudding(wall paper paste) and I had pecan bourbon tart, it was ok. Doubt we come back. The view was nice.

Harbor feast lobster, perfect!

We went to Harbor Crab last night after seeing their Long Island restaurant week add. A solid 5 +++++ experience! Highly, Highly recommended. HC is way under rated on Yelp. HC is now my new favorite waterfront seafood restaurant on Long Island. We walked in cold off the street at peek dinner time on a Sunday without a reservation. Not always a good idea! As soon as we walked in, We were greeted by a friendly and professional hostess who quickly jumped into immediate action and hustled to get us the best water view table open. What a great first impression of the staff. We felt like celebrities walking into a trendy spot in Manhattan as they hustled to seat us. A+ on the hostess staff! The decor is kind of "Jimmy Buffet" casual with a bamboo and nautical displays throughout. There are two separate bar areas, an upstairs dining area, a main floor dining area, a main bar area and outside dining. The main bar area is surrounded by opening glass bar windows and glass overhead doors that open on warm days. You can see the water from almost every angle. The bar is very comfortable and there are a number of big screen TVs. A cool place to watch the big games. As soon as we were seated at our waterfront table our server came over, introduced herself, and gave us a quick rundown of HC's menu and took our drink orders. Our server was Iris, big shout out to Iris! She was great and walked us through the menu and specials. She also made some great pro recommendations. Our server Iris, was excellent she not only helped make our dining experience a 5+++ but she helped make us future repeat customers. Our positive experience with the staff and service is a reflection of a well run establishment. Good job team HC. For apps we had oysters on the half shell and oysters casino. The half shell oysters were large, plump fresh flavorful local oysters. The ousters casino were also quite good and unique. For mains we had the lobster Harbor Feast and the Restaurant week lobster and crab special. Both were delicious and huge portions! Our server Iris walked us through sauce selections, a big help! On the lobster Harbor feast we had the white wine and garlic sauce. This dish came with a whole steamed lobster, tons of muscles, clams, shrimp, potatoes and an ear of corn. The restaurant week special was a 1/2 steamed lobster, Snow crab cluster, dungene crab, shrimp, potatoes and corn. Both dished were delicious and huge portions. Both lobsters were delicious soft shell lobsters with perfect lobster meat. Everything was perfect! We will be back! Highly recommend Harbor Crab. One comment, HC might be a good spot for a private party due to the layout with different dining rooms and separate bars.

We called up at 7:45 pm and asked if they could take us alan 8:25 pm on a Saturday night on the summer and they said yes. Went here to have a nice seafood dinner by the water. I wanted to sit outside but my cousin thought it was too humid for her so we went to the 2nd floor to overlook the boats There were several interesting items at our table- coconut fried shrimp app (a little too oily), grilled salmon with broccoli rabe and squash and yellow rice - delicious - I had them out trying we teriyaki in the side - I'm glad I did because that was spicy. Someone else ordered fra diavolo with seafood (seafood was good but the very specific part was all the way at the bottoms of the bow tie pasta; salad suitors grilled chicken (good- she doesn't like seafood so this was a good option)and flounder stuffed with crab- which was just ok (a little too much breading in the crab mix The waiter was very attentive so that was good. they saw sometimes have bands and daily specials as well. Ig is set on the Patchogue river.Nice views floor sure!

Robert F.

So here we are again. Another exceptional service experience. Jake was attentive, knowledgeable and just fun. I would come here just to sit in jake's section. Seeing long time friends from 35 years is a good reason too. The food was great. Desert was the best. Peanut butter explosion. A must have. I wish I ate sea food so I can truly weigh in here. So the short ribs were good. The view must be great in the summer. So someone please respond and let me know what I'm missing?

Baked clams
Samantha P.

We went two weekends in a row which wasn't planned. The first time was so good we had to go back. The first time we got the fried calamari, baked clams and I got a burger and fries and my husband got the soft shell crab. The food was excellent especially the fries. Legit the best fries I've ever had. The second time we instead of the baked clams we got the crab cake and ordered all the other items again. The crab cake was amazing. Highly recommend

Secret Menu June 2023
Laura C.

Good food, some with large portions. Plenty of seating areas inside at a table or at the bar or outside on the deck. Great place for large groups. It was raining so we stayed inside. The waitress, Mimi? Checked on us often and had no problem answering our 240 questions. There's a "secret" menu but its really not a secret, it's the seafood menu that prices change often so it is printed separately which is a great idea. You can't go wrong with any of the crab leg meals and I recommend that you share them because there's plenty on the plate. Chicken Ceasars salad needed more chicken, it had an overload of croutons. Ahi tuna plate had a huge amount of pink ginger on it, would have preferred more veggies and less ginger. Rainbow cake was dry, Smores brownie dessert was moist with a deep chocolate flavor. Definitely will be back when the sun is shining. They do impose the charge card fee. Make reservations to ensure you're accommodated when the weather is nice. Private parking lot, handicapped accessible.

Do they take dinner reservations?

Yes they do, because when I arrived they asked if I had reservations, which I did not but was still seated without a problem.

Food was tasty - the drinks were perfection and the vibe was on point. We'll be back soon!read more

When in search of a place that would make my family of picky eaters happy (ie: a vegan, a…read morevegetarian, a traditionalist, and two that try to make the other three happy but like good food), WhiskeyNeat appeared like a gods-send on Yelp. I've been to Main Street Patchogue a few times before and I'm always amazed at how it's now like Huntington, with tons of eateries, bars and places to hear live music. It was a busy late Spring Friday night and my cousin told me if we were there just two weeks later (ie, post Memorial Day), there would have been lines to get in anywhere. So make resos! I made one easily earlier that day and when we arrived around 7:30, it was not packed, but it is pretty loud in there even half full. Our waiter, Jonathan, expertly took such great care of us from start to finish, even taking my father's dad jokes in stride. There's a solid cocktail menu, but I had a couple glasses of a better-than-decent prosecco. My cousin loved his espresso martini. For food, count on a couple respectable vegan entrees and I went with the Japanese eggplant with cashew ricotta. The eggplant is delicious, slightly sweet with a creamy rather than chewy (thank god) texture. The cashew ricotta is also tasty, but I do think it needed to be blended a bit more to remove the slightly grainy texture (the cashews might have needed more soaking). My father loved his French onion soup and pastrami sandwich. Separate paragraph for the fries. They deserve it. I'm glad we ordered these to share- it's an enormous platter of them. I appreciated that they were salted perfectly. I appreciate restaurants that can make satisfy a variety of preferences and dietary restrictions. The vibe here is festive and vibrant and a great choice for groups and families.

Hey Long Island, meet Memphis and Texas!! Wow wow woohoo!! Had an incredible experience at Bobbique…read morelet me tell you! Listen, I love smokin BBQ and really enjoy putting in the time for those long cooks as a hobby. So heres my experience and how I came to love this place. Came in on a gorgeous day in May, the BBQ season knocking on the door. I BBQ year round but tis the season is what I'm getting at; and was just jiving for some good smoked BBQ. Thing is I didn't have the time to get a cook going since getting home from work late so we decided to give this well recommended spot a shot. Wow what a great choice and sooo happy we came here!! Some things were ordered were the St. Louis ribs, pulled pork, BBQ chicken, jumbo BBQ chicken wings...sides were collard greens, red potato salad and mac & cheese: and every single item was outstanding. All came with the staple corned bread. I wish could have ordered the whole menu, everything looked great but sort of "aimed in the middle" I suppose. The ribs were tender, with a perfect bite pull. Great smoke flavor..just was a real nice rib. The pulled pork was juicy, and the BBQ chicken and their jumbo wings were on point; crispy skin and juicy meat. The collard greens, potato salad and mac & cheese were great sides to complete but they have much more sides to choose from let me tell you. Had a really unique experience and one of my highlights of the visit was having the pleasure and opportunity to meet and take a quick tour with chef and owner Eric, who takes real pride in what he does. It's immediately clear the passion, dedication, and respect he has for the craft of true smoked BBQ. Whats important to understand is how difficult it is to master smoked BBQ. Authentic smoked BBQ is NOT fast food!! Brisket alone can take anywhere from 12-18 hours to cook properly, and unlike many other styles of cooking, mistakes cannot simply be fixed quickly. If pasta is overcooked, you make another batch. If a steak is undercooked, you throw it back on the grill. If a sauce is under seasoned you can adjust it..etc BBQ doesn't work like that! To use brisket again..If a brisket dries out after an hours long cook (mostly started overnight before the restaurant even opens) that entire piece of meat is basically gone. You cannot "undo" it. List goes on for everything else... Quality BBQ is hard to come by, especially outside places like Memphis and Texas. Real BBQ is one of the few forms of cooking where the chef is controlling a live fire, timing, airflow, smoke, temperature, and consistency all at the same time. You gotta appreciate this stuff! Ladies and gentlemen, Bobbique is one of those unique places that truly respects the craft. This place is firing on all cylinders! You will taste the experience, patience, and hard work in every bite. I 100% definitely recommend making this your go to for great BBQ. Absolutely worth the visit. I can't wait to come back to this spot!

My wife and I have been to Bobbique numerous times over the years and have never been disappointed…read more If you are looking for authentic barbecue, great rotating beer selection, great live music and a solid bourbon selection this place is for you. Bobique offers a phenomenal selection of smoked and barbecue meats. Of particular note is the Saint Louis ribs. Dry rub, not to dry, not to Smokey. The pulled pork, brisket and sausage are also fantastic. For a change to the usual buffalo bar wings check out the wings here. A delicious change of pace. I can't understand why anyone would criticize the ribs here? They are awesome. If anyone thinks they don't "fall of the bone" check out my attached photo. Oh, by the way .. best baked beans ever! We typically order more food than we did tonight. I'll include more photos after our next visit. EVERY server, bartender, hostess is excellent. The owner is always present and dedicated to making sure you have a top notch experience. Come for the food, stay for the tunes.. Pinkies up!

Food: 2/5 - food was not as good as the last time. Pretzel bun sliders last time were significantly better, also messed up the cook on them (ordered well done, received medium). Had the Tuscan Panini and was 80% bread with a thin chicken cutlet. Very disappointing food this time around. Fries were definitely frozen with some seasoning sprinkled on top. Service: 2/5 - for a place being pretty much empty, you would've expected things to be quick. Not sure if short on staff but took us nearly 40min to get our food.

Not to mention tried to get into this place one other time besides the first time but there was nobody to seat us so we just walked in and walked right out. There are plenty of other spots in Patch, skip this one. Best Dish - None Would Return - No
