    Cluster Snow Crab

    I'm confused and upset that they don't have that amazing Buffalo shrimp on the menu (this was my go to at the Sayville location almost weekly for a couple years when I worked nearby; it wasn't buffalo sauce, more tangy) That being said, I love popei's clan bar, always have since I was a little kid. Bunch of memories so it's near and dear. Had some uber codes and decided to grab a bite, so fresh, so awesome, can't wait to try the entire menu after my very long separation from this place. Great to be back in Long Island after-all! - I've since had a bunch more: *Pronto Mussels - good, but that oily hot kick doesn't suit mussels in my opinion. *everything tuna over asparagus and avocado - meh, I wouldn't get this again, you get two deep fried spears of asparagus, it falls short on flavor and presentation *crab clusters - solid, not salty, delicious *overstuffed jumbo baked clams - love em, keep em coming *broccoli rabe - little bitter, as it tends to be often, I've had better but fine. *clam strips - I don't thing I've ever had good clam strips, I always want them to be better, just fried friedness lol, never worth it.

    Bowl of lobster bisque.

    The restaurant is divided into two sections: a bar area and a restaurant area. The restaurant area is bright and welcoming with a sea fearing atmosphere. My wife and I arrived shortly after three. Based on the early dinner crowd, it is best to make reservations for anything after five in the evening. Our waitress, Nancy, was friendly and welcoming. I ordered a bowl of lobster bisque and the mild, calamari marinara. The bowl of lobster bisque could have been a meal unto itself! The calamari marinara is made with a light sauce just as done in Naples - Italy. My wife enjoyed her clams aglio ed olio and the broiled seafood platter, however, there was so much on the plate we both only were able to have a quarter of what we ordered... well maybe, I had a bit more. Suffice to say, Popei's clam bar has become a favorite place to drop in and have a great early dinner! The Takeaways 1. Good parking 2. Fantastic food to price ratio 3. Excellent service 4. Inviting local 5. Excellent food 6. Nancy our waitress was great Summing it all up... go hungry. If you found this review useful or you liked the pictures, drop me a like.

    6-29-25. My first time here. Not sure if this place has anything to do with the other Popei's locations in Nassau County.......I would assume so because the menu is very similar. Came with my family and we ordered some lobster bisque, New England clam chowder, Long Island clam chowder (which is half Manhattan and half New England), some terryaki wings and a pot of steamed mussels to start. For entrees we had Popei's Italia which was linguini with shrimp, broccoli rabe, sweet red peppers and cannalini beans in a buttery garlic and oil sauce. Also ordered a fried flounder entree with mixed vegetables......in addition to a few broiled flounder dishes with mixed vegetables. Lastly, we ordered a side of linguini with white clam sauce and linguini with red clam sauce. I tasted everything and it was an overall great meal. The linguini in both white and red sauces were tasty and generous. Terryaki wings were decent, but nothing fantastic. Broiled flounder was light and flaky and could have had a tiny bit more flavor but it was still very good. Steamed mussels in marinara sauce was excellent and the Popei's Italia pasta dish was by far my favorite. Packed with a nice garlicky flavor and full of shrimp. The garlic bread they bring to the table provides an excellent vehicle for sopping up all that tasty broth. Our waitress could not have been more accommodating. Very attentive and she provided some suggestions and great service. Casual ambiance and a comfortable setting. Nice bar area. Live music on Sundays in the summer. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving some seafood. As an added bonus, it's less crowded and less expensive than a few other seafood options you have in the Port which is only a short distance away.......and as far as I'm concerned, the food was better here anyway.

    My plate was the Captains Platter and everything was delicious! My boyfriend did the pick 3

    So we went to Popei's for my birthday lunch. The food was great and everything was delicious. We had gone on a Saturday afternoon and there was maybe 4 other groups of people with us. Service was a bit slow considering it wasn't busy but we always have a good meal here and will return in the future

    Curious if there is a different cook there on Sunday? My daughter and I often order a dish through DoorDash that we love and it's always very delicious but last night we ordered and it was totally lacking in flavor, just not sure why! I hate being disappointed because we love getting food from there several times a month.

    My husband and I went to The Holstein Grill around 4:30 PM on a Sunday without a reservation and we…read morewere met cordially by the hostess who, fortunately for us, found us a table for two. We started out by sharing the fried calamari appetizer which was light and crispy on the outside and tender and tasty on the inside. The house made marinara sauce was a welcome addition. Our Caesar salads were fresh and flavorful. I particularly liked the shaved parmigiana cheese on top. For our entrees, I had the rack of lamb, cooked just the way I asked for it, medium. I loved the au jus which added an another dimension to the flavor. The lamb was tender and tasty. My husband had the 12 once filet mignon rare. He was so pleased that it was served exactly as he asked for it. He raved that the filet was absolutely PERFECT! It was so tender that it practically melted in his mouth. He truly enjoyed every bite. Our waitress was attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance was dark and quiet. We both agree that we can't wait to return to The Holstein Grill Steak House for another meal. This time we'll have to save room for dessert.

    The staff seems extremely disorganized. The girl who took our order was also the bartender. No…read morebiggie but we didn't know who to ask for anything.. my wife's steak of way over cooked but we waited so long she didn't wont to wait for another one. They did the right thing and took money off but the disorganized staff makes it a shame.. everyone was in the kitchen trying to figure things out and you could see the stress & dysfunction.. for such a small place it SHOULD GO SMOOTHLY. Every one was super friendly but that doesn't make me want to go back... Sorry but its how I feel.. if your going to raise your prices then raise your efforts & your standards..
