    Chopped Cheese Fries
    Shaunda L.

    I really had high hopes for these chopped cheese fries from Drop out but it was a fail they used movie theater cheese that is used for nachos it was not good.. It looked appetizing and it probably would have been good if they actually used cheese that goes on and actually chopped cheese sandwich and not nachos from the movie theaters

    Cool bar

    The Bazaar is a little cornucopia of New Yawk style food. A wide range of above average fast food fare. There's Bolivian Llama Party that has eliote, nachos & different types of sandwiches. One standout was the Chicken Verde chicken sandwich with tender marinaded Pacena beer chicken, bacon, chicharron bits and a green quilquina sauce. Ed and Bevs serve Coney Island style hotdogs on a Martin Bun. There are corn, beef and vegan dogs. Fries come au natural or cheesy or chili style. I tried the vegan with BBQ sauce, onions and pickles for topping. The dog was good and the fries were crispy. I just wish the food was a little warmer. The lunch costs $15. Fletcher's Bklyn BBQ is here as well for the die hard brisket, chicken and pork lover. There is a clam bar that offers Lobster Roll($22),clam sliders and fried clam strips. Ample Hills is also here for the Bklyn diehard gotta have unique ice cream flavors. The bar serves everything from Margaritas to Coronas. It's a clean environment with picnic tables that are surprisingly comfy. The servers look like school kids but are cool and friendly. It's kinda cool to eat on the beach and hear the best of Disney as you munch( " You got a friend in me" to " Let it go") There also food trucks that serve Italian sausage and food tents offering sweets and alcohol. So if ur too lazy to pack a lunch like me today you will have some feasting on the beach options.

    Comostamos has some amazing shrimp ceviche. Pineapple and apple it was bomb.

    Pretty solid 5-8 food options for a secluded beach. They offered tacos and ceviches burgers hot dogs empanadas and nachos. The ceviche was toppp notch! They have a rotating cadre of vendors so it changes, not sure how often though. They also sell drinks you can take on the beach at one of the vendors. They offered a couple different beers straw-ber-ritas and some spirts. Some of the vendors take cards but its best to bring cash.

    I've been going to riis park beach since I was a child. The concession stands have been closed for years. Was so excited to see all of the new vendors these past few years. It's getting better and better every summer. Me and my family go all winter for brunch and drinks at Bay 9. Great food great drinks and of course you can't beat the scenery. Such a chill vibe.

    They've really done a great job of turning Riis Park into a destination. If you're sick of the crowded and still somewhat toxic beaches of Coney Island, Riis Park is just forty minutes away by car (or Beach Bus!). I've been to several iterations of the BK Night Bazaar, and the Riis Park one is a fresh take, which is completely different from everything else. I don't understand why all these negative reviews expected it to be the same type of dance party. It's on the friggin beach. The main focus is on the food, with some live DJ sets. But of course, it's on the beach, so you're free to come and go or do whatever in the sun. In terms of food vendors, they have a decent selection. There's Fletcher's for BBQ and Ample Hills for ice cream, both repping Gowanus (and I guess Prospect Heights). There's Wild Feast with the seafood tacos and the separate oyster/clam stand. There's Brooklyn Star with their event-only menu (delicious chicken waffle cones!). And there was Court Street Grocers in a completely separate area. Through Living Social, we bought food and drink tickets. It was $19 for $10 worth of food and $16 worth of beer or wine. There was also the option of a beach chair rental. Not a bad deal at all. The only thing that sucked was you couldn't use the drink tickets for mixed drinks (they had this Earl grey and gin slushy which was pretty tasty). In terms of the food vendors, Brooklyn Star has the best deal with $13 fried duck wings (you get 10 of them!). I've also had their chicken and waffle cone before at Roberta's block party and can tell you that it's also a solid choice. Tried the nachos and pork belly from Wild Feast, as well as the raw oysters and truffle oysters. Both very good, and fresh. They had some dessert and non-alcoholic drinks available, which you could make alcoholic at the drink station. There were also some local jewelry vendors and a sunglasses truck too. All in all, it was a great way to spend a Saturday and would definitely recommend making the trip out!

    A much brighter, much weaker reincarnation of BK Night Bazaar, with some more 'special passes' http://riisparkbeachbazaar.com/special-passes/ that are as much of a joke as they were at the predecessor. Our results at a July weekend visit: Ample Hills BROOKLYN FLOSS Fletchers -- too many others around Bolivian Llama Party -- no sign of 'em, but had at BK Night Bazaar WILD FEAST FOOD THE BROOKLYN STAR - no sign COURT STREET GROCERS -- separate kiosk..had elsewhere and unimpressed, plus all but alcohol and hot dogs & franks all sold out at 3pm LA NEWYORKINA -- didn't see here but scored elsewhere in Rockaways DALY PIE -- didn't see LIZZMONADE -- mixed in with the non-edible stands and a tremendous line CONEY SHACK -- separate truck past Court Street and Trop Pops EAST COAST ROAST BARZAAR -- no signage but think we passed

    Chow Chow Cone
    Nicole G.

    Great food options! The Chow Chow Fried Chicken Cone was amazing! The usual cone (chicken, mashed potatoes) with sweet maple syrup and pickled apples made a delicious savory sweet combo Ample Hills had their signature Riis Park ice cream with corn pops, bacon, and honey. Again the sweet and savory combo was delicious!

    The cashier corrected me saying they are actually called Bolivian Llama Party

    First time at Jacob Riis Beach ever. I usually go for Long Island beaches. We had some fries from Bolivian Llama Party, even though the menu reads Cochala, and some ribs and wings from another vendor. The fries was AH-MAZING, especially with the cilantro sauce aka the green sauce. SOOOO GOOOOD!!! My friend got the taco which looks amazing too. Came here on a weekday so obviously it wasn't crowded even though it was a weather perfect day. I can see how busy it gets on weekends. Not sure I would be as satisfied as I was when I have to go on line with 500 other people... But good place to chill with friends!

    Awesome beach, always clean. I believe the food stands rotate and I remember the food being much better when I was a regular here last year. Maybe just an off day, not sure. I watched the frozen food being prepared and it was just not worth it. Took 40 mins for a burger, chicken fingers and fries from Ed & Bev's. The razz frozen margaritas and froźe from the bar area were delicious, very strong and not SO sweet. Phone service is terrible on the beach, they should look into some free wifi.

    BOTTOM LINE: crowded alternative adjacent to Jacob Riis Park…read moreTIP/S: go early, exit early ...WHO: party of 1 WHY: curiosity WHAT: (Deets) I followed the crowd across the ball field to this beach. Compared to other beaches, there is less space to spread out because much of the land is roped off for nature preserve. Family friendly but folks were too close to one another IMO. I will say though, that the water seemed less littered with plastic and random waste, and I didn't have to tread through rocks and sharp shells to go in waist deep. That was a welcome surprise. WHEN: 7/12/20 WHERE: beach HOW: bike/ public transportation Q35 BATHROOM: 2 options, just off the water are port o johns. In the park area closer to the stables are separate gender restrooms.

Street parking is available but not that easy to get. I googled and read that the southern parking spots on Shore Front Pkwy are not for public use. Didn't want to take a chance so found one (north side) by Beach 95th St. Beach 95-97 area was pretty lively last Friday. Saw a schedule of events until 8/31. There was the surf music festival with live bands performing; also a stage performance of Romeo and Juliet at the Rockaway Beach ampitheater. Beach 97 has food vendors; lifeguard station. Update: Enjoying Off The Rails live performance on 8/29 right now. Restrooms were dirty and smelly though. I know that a lot of people use them but need better maintenance. Only 1 sink was left on 8/29. Showers were on the boardwalk making the area sandy and wet. The beach/sand was coarser and a lot more broken shells, some sharp, when compared to Long Beach NY which we've gone to recently. Waves were much stronger too.

As you approach you will see a gatehouse where those going to the cooperative must check in, and those going through pass on the left. I had no indication that it was private at this point. I drive on to the fisherman's entrance, I canister this is 222nd street, and parked. I had a lovely walk, going all the way to the point and back. Later, as I was checking out an old military tower, I was approached by a resident. He seemed nice enough but I quickly realised that he was trying to determine whether I belonged there. He mentioned more than once that the entire area was private and that the only way people can get access is by knowing someone who lives there. Later I read reviews that you are allowed to go to the park if you first get a free day pass from the ranger station at riis park, or hike from Fort Tilden. So know before you go!

It's magical if you like to be far from the maddening crowd, and can handle being far from a working toilet too. As you head further out, the beach has, thankfully, less garbage than by Fort Tilden, though you might find, as we did, when you stroll along the shore an occasional dead blowfish, jellyfish, a horseshoe crab. The music you hear will be surf, gently rolling in or hammering at the shore and the occasional screeches of birds. A top site for birding, this beach didn't disappoint and we didn't even visit at peak migrating times. Just be careful if you walk further up along the sands and watch for signs that tell you not to disturb the nesting areas. Nature's ecosystem is more fragile than you think. The beach is a trek from Fort Tilden. You do need a permit if you have a car as the rangers here do check. If you don't have a car, be prepared to hike, and hike, and hike from Fort Tilden. It's a shorter walk if you take the trails from Fort Tilden and might seem endless if you walk along the shore. For all those of you who post on your profile that you love beach walks, well, Breezy Point will offer you the chance to prove your words!
