    This is a must try place!! Food here was delicious especially the 2 lbs Steamed Lobster w Butter!! Their bread was crack!! New England Clam Chowder & calamari were both delicious & fries were crispy & yummy too!!! Soft Shell crab was good just too much breading!! Service was excellent!!! Ambiance was nice as well!!

    I could eat Popei's Pork Chop every single day. 3x a month is not enough! That's how Yum this is!

    Took the wife out for Mother's Day and we haven't been here in a bite and man did we have a great meal. First the location is small but it does pack a HUGE punch! We sat across from the bar at a high top, the bartender was our server and he was super friendly and knowledgeable. We started with some garlic bread for the table (complement of the house) and then some calamari (delicious) and mozzarella sticks (average). For entrees my wife had the snow crab dinner which she absolutely loved with a side of Cajun waffle fries. My son and I had the strip steaks. I had side of angel hair with garlic and oil and he had the straight fries. The steaks came with vegetables and corn on cob. Everything we had was delicious and the flavors were on point. So a side note, this location is in a strip of stores and parking is tight BUT they provide valet service which is a bonus in my book and the crew outside is great. If you're looking for tasty fresh seafood or a delicious hot steak this is your place!

    Our favorite bartender.

    What can you say about a local place with amazing seafood and Joe behind the bar and kitchen. Shelby makes an amazing expresó martini and if you sit at the bar the ambience is "Cheers" like. You make friends with the regulars. The service is quick and attentive but the reason you come here is the food. The food is perfectly on spot. The Long Island bisque is an amazing blend of white and red clam chowder. The mussels in lobster sauce are orgasmic (lol) and the steaks and chops are perfectly cooked. I have been coming here for years and realized that I had yet to post this review for fear of losing my seat at the bar.

    Visited my favorite Clam bar and had the crab legs which were at a "Market Rate" of 60.dollars. i was not disappointed! Everything was delicious right down to the Baked Potato and Broccoli with a few steamed Carrots. My friend had the swordfish which she said was really good. We also enjoyed our server. I think her name was maybe Kayla? I know she was a kindergarten teacher. The atmosphere was so lively and warm. We even had a great time with table buddies! Took dessert to go. Chocolate cake, (not so good), and Red Velvet! Hey Joe, can a sis get a little key lime pie? This is where you want to go when you want to eat ....and feel the Love!

    Popei's (pronounced like the Sailor Man) is in a strip mall. It has gotten so popular over the years that they now have valet parking. We just always park across Wantagh Avenue. It's easier. The ambiance is nothing to speak of with 2 rooms, the bar area, and the main dining room. Unfortunately, as soon as you walk in, there's a horrible smell that lingers that has been there for all the years we've gone. Is it mold? Is it the bathroom all the way in the back? Is it dirty rags they use to clean this place? We don't know. Luckily the service and food make up for it. As soon as we sat down, our waitress came with the most delectable garlic bread and asked us if we wanted drinks. She came back in what seemed like moments. We ordered appetizers: I had the biggest, chewiest, cherrystone clams on the half shell with lemon and a nice horseradishy cocktail sauce. I've been into oysters lately, so when I ordered these clams, I forgot how delectable they were. Fresh and briny perfection. Hubby got the Long Island Chowder which is a mix of both Manhattan and New England Chowder. Again, perfection. For the main meal, hubby got an everything seafood pasta and I got a seafood pasta covered in Ricotta and Mozzarella with broccoli (must have those greens!) mixed in. We each took home more than half. We'll each add more pasta to our dishes as there was so much seafood in our dishes. Leftovers for days! Our waitress even remembered to ask about the email giving me $15 off my meal as a birthday gift. Great freebie! I would say go. Definitely. Just be warned about those couple of things and you'll have the best time.

    Pick 2 Lobster & Crab Legs
    Danielle P.

    I've been coming to Popei's since I was a kid. It's always been good, but I think I'm bold enough to say that it's somehow gotten even better over time (or maybe I'm just old enough to appreciate it for what it is). There are few places you can go and eat this well at any price point, but the constantly evolving specials and weeknight all you can eat deals really allow you to get a true bang for your buck. Service is swift and friendly, ambiance is a very casual come as you are type of vibe. The garlic bread they have here is the best you'll ever have and should not be missed. This time around I tried the new "pick two" combo - I went with crab legs and a lobster, plus it came with a salad. My family also got the expectant lobster, a whole lobster stuffed with crabmeat and shrimp, which is outstanding. The steamers here are always fresh, sweet and delicious, and the jumbo shrimp cocktail truly lives up to its name. If you haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for?

    We had a family dinner here one Saturday evening. Because they were busy, we sat in the tent out back which was quieter and still warm. The server was great -- very friendly and checked on menu items to verify gluten wasn't in them. I only got a few photos of what we all ordered, but the food by in large seemed fresh and in large quantity. For dessert, we told them about a birthday and everyone sang! It felt like a being in a comfy seafood home dinner.

    Update. Same as last time, more crowded, different dishes, food was excellent (see photos below), very friendly staff (our waitress gave me a big hug before we left, even after I told her approaching open arms that I was already spoken for, which she dismissed as "cute," and smiling owner/chef shook my hand with a strong grip). It's a keeper.

    I recommend this place!! We ordered the blackened sword fish with vegetables and  accompanied by a baked potato. If you never tried sword fish it is like eating a piece of steak! It isn't flaky, but firm enough that you have to cut with a knife. Delicious! Our favorite fish to eat. Never a fishy taste!! The second dish we got was lobster tails with vegetables accompanied by a baked potato. This was good but on the saltier side! I would definitely try this place. Ambiance and decor very lovely. Good service as well!

    Kabir A.

    Hands-down their service is top tier. Every staff member in the room are friendly and pays attention to you. Warm smiles and welcomes are bouncing all over. Almost everything we had so just plain and simply good. One can debate over salt level, but that's personal preference. Really enjoyed their sweetened iced tea that was not so sweet! Will return soon!

    Crab legs, Thai Chili calamari and mussels marinara.
    Regis G.

    Crab legs, Thai Chili Calamari, and Mussels in a Spicy Marinara paired with Chardonnay and an awesome bar vibe. Every dish was on point. Highly recommend. We are going back this week! Jenny the bartender and Joe the owner are amazing!

    Seafood Linguini - The Works

    After a glorious beach day, we headed to Popeis Clam Bar in Bethpage to celebrate the birthdays of my girlfriend's two daughters--and what a perfect ending it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with their warm, friendly service. The seafood was outstanding--lobster, clams, and big steaming pots packed with flavor. Truly delicious and generous portions. The highlight? I asked for a slice of tiramisu with two candles, and not only did the staff pull it off, but everyone--staff and guests--joined in singing happy birthday. Such a fun, thoughtful touch that made the night unforgettable. Great food, amazing service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel part of the family. Couldn't have asked for a better way to wrap up the day!

    Ask the Community - Popei's Clam Bar

    Do you have booths or just regular tables?

    I have one corner booth, the Rest are regular tables.

    Hi! Are you guys doing any all you can eat specials yet? Thank you!

    Tuesday Wednesday all you can eat crab legs Tuesday and Thursday are all you can eat shrimp

    Are there any AYCE deals going on currently?

    No I’m sorry, not yet!!

    Are they still offering AYCE snow crab?

    We are not offering the all you can eat specials at the moment due to the fact that we cannot get the abundance of the crab legs needed. Hopefully soon things will be getting back to normal and they will be coming back. We do have crab legs though… Read more

    What time does the lunch menu end and the dinner menu start? Thanks.

    Lunch menu ends at 4:00 but, the dinner menu is served all day and night!!

    Are they offering to-go drinks seeing as there is no sitdown eating allowed?

    Yes we do!!

    What's the price on the AYCE CRAB LEG SPECIAL?

    Hi. They are $58.99.

    Any recommendations for someone who does not eat seafood? FYI, I have no choice in the matter as it was my FIL's pick for his bday dinner. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    I personally like the chicken parmigiana and the chicken marsala is good too

We were seated within 10 min of arriving, meanwhile there were probably 100 people in the foyer waiting. We sat in the bar area at a table. Jef was our waiter and he was attentive with refilling drinks. The complimentary bread and cinnamon butter was good. We came to celebrate my brother's birthday and he is part of their rewards program. On their website they advertise that you get a free app on your birthday however he never got the email with the coupon. When we explained this to Vilma the manager, she basically blamed it on corporate rules and would not budge on allowing the free app. First disappointing experience! Make sure you ask for peanuts or else they don't automatically bring them. I thought the portion size for the price was great. I had the 3 filet medallions with rice, a baked potato and Caesar salad. Steak was cooked medium, just how I ordered it. I wasn't a fan of the chicken tenders as they weren't crispy enough. The ribs were delicious and fell off the bone. We ordered the chocolate brownie with ice cream for dessert and wanted to sing to my brother. We waited 15 min for it to arrive. When Jef arrived with it, there was no ice cream on top and no candle to sing happy birthday. We were disappointed and Jef apologized saying they ran out of ice cream and he couldn't find the candles. He asked if we still wanted to dessert but didn't say it would be comped (since it wasn't what we originally ordered) so we declined. Overall, the food was pretty average. Portions are large! Their customer service skills are lacking, but it sounds like they have their hands tied with lots of corporate rules and regulations.

    As someone born & raised in flushing who grew up eating hotpot/kbbq, and often still eats hotpot -…read moreI'm honestly very impressed by the quality of K-city. I will preface this by saying I consider K-city a 5/5 for Long Island - probably a 4/5 if K-city was in Queens tbh. If i was in the Nassau area I default to K-city vs. Kpot! I mainly go to K-city for the hotpot vs. the kbbq/hot food selection. The bbq is okay but the grill itself is pretty small. The prepared food selection is also okay, includes both hot food & sushi but I mainly consider it as food to eat while my hotpot is getting ready (lol). The broths are very legit with the variety offered being spicy (mala with the Szechuan peppercorns), mushroom, pork bone, herbal ( I believe is a mix of pork & chicken + herbs), tomato and mushroom. My favorite thus far have been the spicy & herbal! I appreciate that the meats are also included in the buffet section as well so I can control the quantity as opposed to some other hotpot/bbq places where the meats come pre-portioned. I think the main drawback of K-City as opposed to Spring Shabu (my personal 2nd favorite choice in nassau) is definitely the veggie selection & quality. Having said that, the veggie selection is okay and has the main things I get like the enoki mushrooms, napa cabbage, broccoli and noodles.

    A lot of people seem to give high praises of this place. Several friends and family even…read morerecommended to me. Of course the beast in me have to try! First off, yeah its a bbq/ hotpot kind of joint. AYCE of course. I have to say the little personal hotpots they give us are cute. The broth choices doesn't seem to matter tbh. Eventually you're chucking all types of seafood and meats that will make your broth good regardless. The pot is a bit on the smaller side if you choose 2 different broths. Hoping the 1 flavor one would be bigger but its the same. Cause of the split pot inside. As for the choices it's pretty standard hotpot stuff. Nothing too crazy to write home about. The grill side was a bit on the disappointment. Sure they have "marinated meats" but when I went they just chuck frozen galbi on top of the marinated meat. Not sure if they didn't have enough time for prep but I felt like the workers are just throwing things in for us animals to eat regardless of flavors. The cook station and sushi station was probably the most disappointing stations of them all. Majority of the cooked foods were cold. you would assume theres some kind of heat light warmer or steam bath to keep the foods warm but nope... most of them were just out and about and cold. The sushi station was lack lustered... selections were limited. Just your average carb city and fillers. The sashimi were not appealing imo. Overall, i felt like this place maybe good for younger audiences or family outings. Kids will like it cause of all the different types of fried/fast food styles. Also... just a tip for some of you out there. If you see raw oysters and raw clams with ice cubes on them... it's for HOT POT to COOK THEM IN! If you want the legit ones goto the sushi station for them... DONT EAT THE ONES AT THE HOTPOT STATION! MOST LIKELY YOU WILL GET SICK IF YOU DO! I'm pretty sure their were signs that state that ...but saw some of these "adults" SLURPING AWAY before even making it to the table... and im like...bro is gonna be on the toilet for sure... SO yeah.. BE SMART! READ BEFORE STUFFING YOUR FACE WITH THE RAW STUFF!
