As you enter you order from the menu board- I ordered the $18.00 Whiting fish and French fries w/pickle (under my fries- I was looking for it lol). You get one large Whiting and a bunch of fries - no complaints. I ordered a passion daiquiris $10 - was pretty good too. In Seafood City - cash only -you order and wait for your number to be called - service was quick. The place is a ranch style atmosphere with red - school lunchroom tables inside and on the outside. They also have a variety of other food options. It's definitely a family style restaurant with reasonable prices. I would recommend this place. read more

Seafood City did not disappoint. I ordered the fried scallops, French fries, crab legs, and a frozen mojito. Everything was fresh and flavorful, but the crab legs were the star. They were perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The fried scallops were crispy and delicious, and the fries were fresh. The frozen mojito hit just right. Friendly service, enjoyable meal. I'll be back to try more. read more

So many seafood choices and specials! The rigatoni with shrimp & broccoli was tasty and just fantastic! The line is long but goes quickly. The seafood combo is big and really good. They have video games inside for the kids to play. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Nice view of the bay. We definitely will return again. read more

I felt like I was at the jersey shore with a twist. Seafood city is such a sweet spot in the heart of city island.. fast paced, out door seating, for families and friends just having a good time. I definitely recommend. read more

My first time coming to seafood city as my usual stop is at Tony or johnnys at the end. It's cash only and they have multiple lines for different t things . My kids ordered the shrimp and I ordered clams in the half shelf. My son also had the burger , I decided on getting a pina colada light which was $9 . The food was good and fresh and we were able to sit outside even though it was a little brisk hearing the seagulls adds to the ambiance . They have a small arcade section which is pretty expensive but the kids had fun. Lots of parking an no fights lol read more

Don't ever sell those teeny tiny snow crab legs ever again. Then you have the audacity to charge M/P. Take them off the menu until you go back to the jumbo snow crab legs you used to sell some years back. I'll take my money to one of the better seafood spots, where I can get way more bang for my buck. Get it together. read more

Henny coladas are always a favorite here and an NYC summertime staple that yoh can't go wrong with. Come with cash because they are cash only ! read more

Seafood City - Henny colada - Seafood Near Me - Bronx, New York

This placed is rightfully called "Seafood City"! The menu is extensive. It's very difficult to decide on what to get. If you don't come early, you will be on line for over 30 minutes. And it's another 30-45 minute wait to actually get your food. Unfortunately I was unable to wait to get food so I got a couple of drinks; Henny Colada and the Blue Hawaiian. Both drinks were equally delicious and strong. I can't wait to come back here and experience the food. Cash Only. read more

I wasn't prepared for this Instagram recommendation to actually live up to the hype--but Seafood City did just that. First off, plenty of free parking, which in New York feels like striking gold. Walking in, I was surprised to see a massive, cafeteria-style setup with rows of picnic tables. It wasn't the vibe I expected, but once I settled in, it worked for the casual, lively atmosphere. The menu is huge, filled with countless seafood combos at very reasonable prices. I ordered the Seafood Paella and Manhattan Clam Chowder. The chowder was a bit different than I anticipated--more like a seafood-infused minestrone--but still flavorful and hearty. The paella, however, really impressed me. Perfectly cooked rice (not gummy at all) with every piece of seafood tender, well-seasoned, and balanced throughout the dish. I chose to sit outside, which made the experience even better. There's an outdoor bar with frozen and on-the-rocks drinks, plus waterfront views where you can watch the boats lined up along the docks. The atmosphere, paired with fresh food and fair prices, makes this a spot worth the trip to City Island. Would definitely come back when I'm craving a casual seafood fix with a view. read more

An excellent fried seafood place with generous servings , and everything is super fresh.

Love this spot for chill vibes and good seafood. Its very casual so if you want more sit down with service don't come here. It's more cafeteria style wait with a number. I think the prices are reasonable and the drinks def have liqqqqaaaaa. Crab legs and french fries are my go to but the lobster tails are good too. Def stop by the bar! But please note they are CASH ONLY. They do have atms but of course that has a fee. read more

Seafood City - Broiled lobster tails - Seafood Near Me - Bronx, New York

This spot is doing THIS right!! 100%! There is plenty of parking. We came here directly AFTER eating at Tony's. OMG am I glad we did. Tony's was a disappointment. This place has personality. Check out my pics!! My brother ordered 2 dozen Oysters, Fried Lobster and Shrimp. The fries here and skinny short fries. The shrimp were delicious!! The lobster was also delicious. The CORONA was also iced cold. The oysters were huge and UBER FRESH! They were served with lemon wedges, horseradish, ketchup, Tabasco sauce. YUMMY!! If you are bringing children - they have an arcade area and the decor ALL OVER is FUNTASTIC! Outdoor patio has plenty of seating over looking the waterfront. All-in-all a fantastic end to a really unsatisfactory day. COME EAT HERE!! read more

Ok so it's the summer in the city and that could only mean 1 of 20 things.....CITY ISLAND! So I trek up to the Bronx on Memorial Day for some amazing seafood. My goddaughter says let's do Seafood City (they have a parking lot, so that was a win) Upon entry there is a sign 'CASH ONLY'....sigh. Because we carries that kind of cash in 2025. But of course they have 2 atms right there for $3. Sigh!!! Ok, so I get the cash and to the line we go. We order.....then wait. Prices are very reasonable. In the meantime I go to a different bar to get my drink. Now they are all the same size however, different prices depending on your quality of liquor. I got a piña colado (medium). It was really nice. Had to mix it up cause all of the liquor was on the bottom. The food comes about 20min later. It looks incredible. However, it's not seasoned to taste. No salt, no old bay....NOTHING!! The crab legs were very bland. The shrimp was blah! No butter to dip anything in. The rice was good, the corn on the cob was good. The French fries left taste to be desired. Overall, I won't go back here. Although having parking doesn't make up for the bland food. read more

This restaurant has been a part of my life for more than 22 years, and each time I go, it feels special and nostalgic. When I was a child, I can still recall thinking I was traveling to an exotic place, like the Caribbean, to have fresh seafood on the drive to City Island. Once we arrived I would grab my meal and run outside on to the seats, taking in the grandeur of the water's vista. I will not gatekeep Seafood City, the Bronx's secret jewel! If you're looking for delicious fried shrimp with a side order of french fries (which also includes a pickle and coleslaw), Seafood City is one of the greatest places to go. The shrimp tastes even better when you squeeze some lemon over it. They have a huge menu and also make delicious baked clams, crab legs, and lobster tails. The seafood here is incredibly fresh, you will not find anything like this in New York. The portions are substantial and the order of shrimp and fries, along with the sides, costs less than $20. The pricing is also reasonable. It should be noted that this establishment accepts only cash. However, there is an ATM on site for you to withdraw cash, or you can go to a local bank. There is plenty of space to park if you are driving because the lot is large. You can also take public transportation use the 6 line to Pelham Bay and then transfer to the 29 bus to get to City Island. This location is both indoor and outdoor seating, and is ideal for large gatherings. However, it is self-serve with no wait staff. I can not forget about the Pina Colada, which is the main deal, to Henny or not Henny? (IYKYK) The cherry is the best part, and you can choose whether or not you want alcohol in it. Personally, I like both! This beverage is ideal for a spring or summer day, and it's delightful to sit outside and enjoy the view of the water. They also have wine, sangria and other cocktails. read more

I came here with my family to have a Saturday night out and we had a great time. The weather was nice and sunny which was perfect for outdoor seating. A huge parking lot with lots of spots which was perfect. The place is only cash only which was annoying but they had atms inside which charge a $2.25 fee. The prices were pretty affordable and the lines moved pretty fast. They needed umbrellas for the outdoor seating because the sun was kind of intense. Also be aware those benches hurt after a while so its best to wear long pants because of the holes in the chair it can leave a mark on your legs lol. The food and drinks were good! The view is perfect of the bay, bridge and the sunset. The place wasnt super crowded which was good and I would return again. read more

We've been going to Seafood City for years. It's our go-to spot for the food, drinks, service and very spacious whenever in CI. Great spot to ride in on your motorcycle; plenty of parking. Pretty clean facilities. Quick service and the drinks are amazing. Not sure about some of these reviews saying they're watered down - oh hell no!! At least that was never the case when we've gone there over the years. Try their Henny colada (strong) and you'll see. The only con they don't have umbrellas at the bench tables to prevent the sun beating on your head. Overall nice place and definitely recommended. read more

I had a very uncomfortable experience here. I'm a regular customer and often eat here, which made this even more disappointing. I tried to pay with an older $100 bill. Two female staff members were very kind and checked it under a light, saying it looked real. However, another employee loudly questioned it in front of a full dining room, implying it was fake. He then wrote "fake bill" across both the front and back of my money with a Sharpie, damaging it. This was extremely embarrassing, especially in front of other people. The bill has since been verified as real. I understand businesses can refuse payment, but publicly embarrassing a customer and damaging their property is not acceptable. I hope management addresses this. read more

Just had lunch at Seafood City and need to share a comment.. while I have been coming here for many years the shrimp and french fries tasted better years ago and the price was cheaper! Currently while the shrimp are a nice size they had no taste..the French fries tasted like cardboard for the current price.. it's still a great location for seafood but need to improve the quality of the shrimp and ESPECIALLY the FRENCH FRiES! read more

Great, fresh and reliable location. Food is always fresh and drinks are great. Make sure to Come with cash, if not there is an atm but i like to avoid fees. I like to come on weekdays because it gets super crowded on weekends and it's difficult to park let alone order food. Solid place and will continue to come here but avoid the crowds read more

Everything was delicious. I love the fried shrimp and fries basket. They always give a generous amount of shrimp and fries. I love coming here when the weather is nice. It does get a little crowded but other than that no complaints. It's a great place so a crowd is expected. read more

On this day, May 13, I went to seafood city, and I was in shock. One of the managers came up to my friend and I and asked if we were smoking weed and marijuana. Then he asked what we were doing with the food mind you we paid for it and we were taking home our leftovers I felt violated and very disrespected. Then I went to the owner and manager and they laughed. I couldn't believe it. I've been going this all my life. The worst experience ever be careful when you go there that you're not accused of something or smoking. I feel very disrespected. I am no child no teenager. None of that was necessary. It's messed up my dinner my and my whole day. I was disappointed on how we we were treated that employee approached us and questioned us about our food while we were packing up our food that was already pay for.he also wrongly suggested that my friend and i were smoking marijuana !...the interaction made us feel very uncomfortable I went up to him to let him know that we felt disrespected, and there were two other managers behind the counter and they laughed. I would like for someone in charge or their manager to kindly kindly review how they talk to customers and approach customers because this experience made me very uncomfortable we came to enjoy our meal and left embarrassed at the way he treated us!!! They laughed when I approached them to let them know that I felt uncomfortable and he lied in front of the manager and said he didn't say that. my friend is 72 and I am 65 and we felt unfairly treated. Please show your staff a little more respect. read more

horrible quality. The crab legs are old smell like ammonia and are unusually small; they were dried out and over cooked very disappointing. I also ordered stuffed shrimp also disappointing. the crabmeat is nothing but imitation crab this place need to be honest with what there selling because prices are market value and we're not getting quality or real seafood and last stop using oil they use straight oil instead of of butter read more

I enjoy the food when I go now always order the jumbo order with the shrimps the lobster the clams, the french fries the pickle or coleslaw I get everything even red snapper is delicious read more

The service is good. The place is clean these people really take care of you when you come here. The service is really fast. The drinks are decent. The prices are amazing. They do have an outside area where you can sit outside the summertime but there's nobody out there today cause it's kind of cold outside, but they also have a game area where the kids can play games and you can just take your time and eat your food and enjoy your company. People are having birthday parties and anniversary parties and celebrations here, taking pictures, singing, and having a good time I like it here occasionally. read more

This place is subpar both times I went the food was subpar and made me feel a little wheezy.

Hidden gem in the Bronx! Food was delicious worth ur trip in the Bronx! Everything was good and I want to come back for more. Location: It is located in City Island. Due to covid there is no indoor dining bur I've been here before and this is like a fast food chain. Inside has gaming station for kids. Service: not that much interaction, this is a self service, but you have to order and pay, then they will call your number. Btw this is CASH ONLY! Food: All that I've ordered here is good! BROILED SCALLOPS with RICE: this is the bomv! The scallops are perfectly cooked and seasoning is on point! LINGUINI with CLAMS, SCALLOPS, SHRIMP on CLAM SAUCE: this is good too, the pasta is al dente and the clam sauce was so tasty SEAFOOD PAELLA: this is another winner, a lot of seafood in here and the rice is so tasty! FRIED CALAMARI: we order this all the time because it is crispy and it comes with french fries. FRIED SOFTSHELL CRAB: this is new on the menu but it was good, too bad it is only 3 pieces. Price rating: 7/10, a little pricey but it is good food! Again, CASH ONLY! I've been here multiple times and it does not fail me! Get the broiled scallops and seafood paella, this is my top choices! So good! read more
