    Basic but good! While the place was very crowded and it was quite slow to get my lobster roll, I genuinely don't have any complaints about the lobster roll itself - it was fantastic. I can't say that the people behind the counter were the nicest though it was busy so they were probably overwhelmed. The ambience of the place is an indoor-outdoor grab and go type spot so almost exactly what you would expect for a lobster roll place. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my lobster roll and would get one again from Red Hook.

    Lobster roll and chips
    Hadiya M.

    Sometimes you just really want lobster. You know the soft, buttery, melt in your mouth texture with a hint of sweetness? And that's what you will find here. I walked over here on a Monday afternoon to refuel after sunbathing and it was so worth it. I ordered a lobster roll CT style with Cape Cod chips on the side. They didn't have the passion fruit mocktail I wanted but no biggie. My roll came out after about 5 min. It was packed with just the right amount of tender lobster meat liberally doused in butter, though more of a brown butter flavor to be precise. The bread was toasted but soggy already and the scallions added a nice color contrast. The lemon wedge is needed for that acidity. I would say the portion size is fairly good, and the taste is super fresh. I highly recommend you come here and try one for yourself as you enjoy all that Rockaway has to offer!

    Fish tacos

    Part of a building on the beach with multiple food/drink spots. Got fish tacos from here and they were really good. Nice crispy texture held up even under the slaw and green sauce. Which were both fresh and zesty. The area is packed with people and communal style picnic tables. Sometimes there's live music. You will not find parking around here for sure.

    I really enjoyed my time with my family at the beach with my parents and my dog and wanted to order some delicious food. We came by the Red Hook Lobster Pound in hopes of finding something good for lunch. However, they ran out of almost everything and didn't seem to bother stocking up on things for the weekend, which is weird because it was the summer on the beach. We ordered avocado fries, which turned out to be guacamole on french fries. It was interesting and tasted good, but overall confusing and disappointing.

    Connecticut style lobster roll

    I love going to the Red Hook location and I was so thrilled to stumble upon the Rockaway Beach 97 location within the Rockaway Bazaar. Their lobster is always fresh, with huge pieces. They offer 2 styles Maine and Connecticut. Maine has lemon mayo and Connecticut is with warm butter. I went Connecticut style savored every single bite. Fries were tasty and portion enough to share. Service was friendly, and the location can't be beat. Already looking forward to my next visit!

We ordered the sampler appetizer (which consisted of wings, fish cakes, and the spicy shrimp )and we also got an order of the lobster dip with tortillas. For our entrées, we got an order of the oxtails with rice and peas and their version of Rasta pasta with jerk chicken. Everything was cooked very well and tasted good. Nothing really stood out, but it was solid. My friend and I both thought that the food might've been actually a little bit on the bland side.

Veteran Jamaican Chef Devon Strachan prepares dishes from his home that are commonly known, but with his own twist. This is as close as you can get to a five star Jamaican seafood restaurant in the coast of Jamaica, but in NYC. Very clean inside, & very attentive & friendly service. Their whole fish (multiple styles), fish cakes, baked macaroni & cheese, lobster, & oxtail are all the best West Indian versions I've ever had in NYC. They also feature live music on weekends, with a mix of reggae, soca, jazz, & the obligatory classic rock cover bands. My only complaint is that they are not open for lunch during the week - in which case I wld eat here even more often! Writing this review & thinking about their food, is making me too hungry, so I'm going to end it now!

    This place is a hidden gem, literally HIDDEN…read more Parking is almost impossible, but on this quiet night we were able to score a parking spot(s) Inside, great views, awesome place. Drinks were better than fine. Service was attentive. Food was excellent- apps: we grilled octopus- really good; mussels also really good. Entree - most of our group of six had a cod special that was a big hit. Others had the Chef's Bolognese, and I had a (massive) Veal Chop - all got rave reviews. A little bit pricey - but where isn't it these days. So bottom liked this place a lot - not sure I'll come from Memorial Day to Labor Day because of the parking and how busy it gets - I assume it'll be - but man, I'll certainly be back.

Two of them were clearly not fresh. I asked the waitress to replace them, and she called the owner over. I explained that I had gotten sick from eating a bad oyster before and was concerned about the freshness. He took the tray away and said, "Then you shouldn't order oysters." That response was rude and unprofessional. At that point, I should have canceled the rest of my order. We also ordered two pasta dishes. The Squid Ink Linguine was just okay--nothing memorable. The Spicy Sausage Gramigna was disappointing because it was supposed to include broccoli rabe, but there wasn't any in the dish. Overall, the poor quality of the oysters and the owner's dismissive attitude made for a very disappointing dining experience.
