I had such a nice time here! The music was honestly better than some lounges I've been to agreat mix of Dancehall, Reggae, 90s R&B, and both old and new hits. Definitely a vibe if you like good music! The food was well-seasoned, flavorful, and came out pretty quickly. We were also seated right away, which I appreciated. The décor is cute, and I loved the homage to icons like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and other legends throughout the restaurant. I came to celebrate my birthday, and they made it extra special with a birthday song and bubbles, which was such a cute touch! Overall, great music, good food, cute atmosphere, and very nice service. I really enjoyed myself and would definitely come back! read more

- the boil was kind of oily - the crab and shrimp didn't catch the flavor well - shrimp and lobster is not de veined - shrimp as shell - ramen noodles in boil need yo be requested, they are not on menu - good soundtrack - good happy hour deals - alright wings - tasty fries - shrimp nachos were not bad - no h/h drink deals before 5, but they gave us deal on food - ppl started showing up around 5, there was barely anyone there prior - was not biggest fan of h/h rum punch or margarita - friendly service read more

This place had really great music! I would def go back for happy hour. But I do feel like they were really expensive. I wasn't a fan of the seafood boils they were really greasy but I do want to go back to try other things just because of the service and really great music. I also loved that they did have jumbo uno. read more

My first time here was 2 years ago and a very pleasant experience. Came to celebrate my wife's birthday and she had a blast - mission accomplished. We had a large party but the owner made accommodations, provided us with a nice birthday set up complete with balloons and there were games available for us to play at the table that helped make it an interactive experience. Not to mention the DJ was also playing good music. We got mixed reviews from our guests about their food but overall it was a great first experience. Fast forward to yesterday, vibes were similar. They seemed a little short staffed for a brunch day buy the server/bartender was doing the best she could with a very upbeat pleasant demeanor. We noticed the Manager come in as we were seated but she seemed reoccupied so we didn't get a chance to greet her. Our food came out and it was pretty good, my wife would've wanted her waffles a little more cooked but the food came out exactly how we ordered so she would know better to mention that next time. The main issue was there was a piece of metal from a metal cleaning pad in my Waffle. I mentioned it to the Server and she brought it to her manager only to come back and tell me she was told it was from when the Waffle machine got cleaned and she offered me a new Waffle. I had already eaten just about my whole meal so I didn't think replacing it would make sense. She gave us a round of shots before we paid the bill but I just would have liked it more if the owner had come and at least acknowledged the issue before we left. I didn't care for money to be returned or anything it just felt dismissive that she didn't address us directly. ​​​ read more

At first I parked on the street. Once I walked in I was the only customer. The young lady greeted me she was nice and she let me know there was parking around the block. The place is dark inside. Music is ok. There is one bathroom. The drinks are good. The boil is OK. They do let you taste the Sauces before buying. Overall the place is ok . I am glad I met my friend I am not going back because there was nothing that wowed me. It was just ok all around. 0 -10 they sit at a 5 for me. read more

I've had this place on my list for a long time. Finally went yesterday (Sunday) at 5pm for dinner with some friends. I'm glad I finally got to cross it off my list but wouldn't go back. It was a very underwhelming experience. The drinks were a huge disappointment. I had the lychee martini- way too sweet. The waitress offered an extra shot to curb that- didn't really change it. My friends had the hennyrita, passion fruit margarita, and a strawberry whiskey sour. The passion fruit margarita was the only decent one, the others had no taste, just not mixed well. The seafood boils lacked flavor. Two of us ordered the "Cajun mania" with mania special sauce which costs $50. You only get 1 cluster of crab legs and it was very small, 2 small fingerling/creamer potatoes, 1 piece of corn, 6 shrimp, and a whole bunch of black mussels. I don't think the quality/portion matched the price. Another friend had the pick 3 trio and chose shrimp, fish, calamari, and fries. This was $48 and it was worth it because the quality, taste/flavor, and portion matched the price. Everything was fried to golden perfection. My other friend had the fried lobster combo which came with shrimp and mac and cheese for $50. This was also worth the price based on the quality and portion. She said the mac and cheese was okay but enjoyed everything else. The service could be better too. The waitress was friendly but not very attentive to our table. We had to wait extensive periods before she even checked on us. Same to just get the check. The live DJ was really good though, spun a great mix of music but just a tad too loud for that small space. You could barely have a convo. read more

Not sure why the reviews are so poor. I visited on a Friday evening about 6pm, the music was so good- I felt like dancing as soon as I walked in. It was pretty empty - the vibe is really cute in here - the waitress was amazing - service was efficient and she was always checking in - even the busboy was quick to picking up our dirty dishes etc. I could never be mad at a 7pm happy hour - but my 1st drink (cosmo) not good 2nd drink was amazing (Margarita) we ordered crab boil - and lemon pepper wings both were amazing ! I will def be back. read more

The service was amazing. They were attentive and friendly. We had some tasty food. The music was good too. A nice mix.

Seafood mania is a restaurant located in Long Island. It has a crab spot theme, remind me of bikini bottom from the SpongeBob cartoon; nonetheless it had pictures and wall art that makes it stand out. Me and my friends started off with drinks and the drinks were okay. The food was good, the hot &honey shrimp was one of the best things that I tried off the menu. The fries and the fried shrimp was okay, I wouldn't get the fries again. My friend said the lamb chops and the garlic mash was really good. The lobster pasta was good as well, the sauce was a little salty but I also try to stay away from salt. So that may be the reason I felt the pasta was salty. The lobster shell was placed on top of the pasta for decoration be advised the lobster meat is cut in chunks and in the pasta. The restaurant had a hangout feel to it. Almost felt as if I was at a house party, someone had the aux cord playing music off of their phone. At some points I couldn't hear my friend talking and she was sitting beside me. This restaurant is more of a chill / casual vibe. Would not go here if you are expecting a classy / elegant vibe. The staff were friendly, and we didn't have much trouble ordering out food. The restaurant closed at 12 but around 11:40 they started putting up chairs and preparing to close while me and my party were still sitting there. I get the staff wants to get a head start so they can go home. So keep that in mind if you plan to go here to eat. Overall I'm not opposed to returning here to try it again , didn't have a terrible experience. But it wasn't the greatest neither. read more

Seafood maniaaaa did not disappoint at all, it was a regular Sunday and I wanted to get my girlfriend and her family together. It was a special weeekend to celebrate in the memory of her mother who recently passed. I chose this spot for the hookah, music, black owned , the food I saw previewed on Instagram and the drinks, let's not forget the UNO cards they provide Upon entering the staff was very friendly, attentive and welcoming. The music was blasting and let me telling you that DJay knows just what he was doing, he brought back all the nostalgia with the old school hip hop, R&B, reggae etc It was brunch so we had to do right by getting the 90 min unlimited mimosa, sangria or Bellini's. I of course got the Minosas, it was so strong I had to ask for more orange juice lol but it was good, I also took a sip of the sangria and Bellini which was very good. I ordered the Tres Leches French toast with fried shrimp on the side, my girlfriend had the shrimp and waffles, my friend has the salmon and grits, my other friend has the salmon and Rasta pasta. Let me tell you not one thing disappointed us, everything was was seasoned so well and tasty. We had a 1:30pm reservation and we stayed until 9pm, we we accommodated each and everytime we were asked to move for a prior reservation. The owner Sylvia thanked us with shots of Don Julio and we thanked her as well for her hospitality. we were a group of 7 people that really enjoyed hotter ourselves for the Sunday Day party brunch I'll definitely recommend this restaurant to others Music 10/10 Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 7/10 Drinks 10/10 read more

Lively vibe. I went here for brunch on a Saturday. First to arrive but the entire staff was attentive and accommodating. They are still working with the first opening menu so it seems a little paired down but definitely enough options. The kitchen accommodated substitutions which was a plus. The food was delicious. We had French toast with fried chicken wings and the fried fish and grits topped with a lobster tail. Seasoned well. Nice size proportions. And yes... the drinks were really good. Definitely need to come back for dinner. Music playlist was definitely a vibe. Only thing I was surprised about was how old and outdated the furniture and bathroom was seeing as this is a new spot. Everything gave the vibe of a bar that had been open for a few years. read more

I found this place on TikTok and I was super excited as a pescatarian bc lobster add ons are very rare. Firstly, I started with a reservation of 10 because I had family from out of town, we ended up with a table of 17 and they were so nice and accommodating!! We did the bottomless mimosas which they provided for at least 2.5 hours. Needless to say my family had a VERY lit time! The food was pretty good, I highly recommend the shrimp and French toast for brunch. Also the seafood boils are amazinggg! Definitely recommend read more

My sister just celebrated her birthday this past Sunday and a group of us dined in for brunch. The atmosphere was very inviting. The DJ played a lot of 90's songs which was great. We even played UNO at the table. The food didn't take long to come out, once it did, I can say that I really enjoyed the Tres Leches French Toast. The fried shrimp & lobster was seasoned well. There was lots of singing and dancing. We had a great time! The workers were very patient and pleasant to interact with. Can't wait to go back and try some other menu options. read more

Love the food here!! The Fried Shrimp was delicious!! Sylvia you have a winner here!! Can't wait to go back!! Come on guys come get some!!

The food was terrible, with the exception of the wings, which were just okay. The Rasta pasta chicken was bland and unappetizing, lacking any seasoning. The rum punch was watered down and tasted awful. The hookah was decent, but nothing special. When my friends and I shared our concerns with the waitress, she reacted rudely and raised her voice at us, insisting, "Nobody complains about our Rasta pasta." It was simply our honest opinion, but she was incredibly disrespectful. I wish I had gotten her name; she was the one wearing glasses. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone read more

The establishment is cute. It has decorative fish and fishnets hanging from the ceiling and other cool decor. The margarita was good and had a punch to it. The lobster roll was delicious. It didn't come with any sides though. Their crab Mac and cheese was flavorful. However, it wasn't real cheesy and was very greasy. The plate had grease sitting in the bottom of it. Also the mac and cheese isn't on the menu but there's three options ie regular, crab, lobster. They also have hookah which is $45 cash only. They have three flavors. Refills are $20. The hookah didn't really hit. It started off good but quickly became harsh and died out. The place opened at 3pm. At 6pm when I arrived there weren't any customers. Lastly check the bill. It could have been an honest mistake but you never know; they charged for 6 drinks when I only had 4. read more

Came here for Taco Tuesday. For starters they have different opening times on their website and on IG so we were not sure if and when they opened and when happy hour started. We ended up getting there 5mins before happy hour was ending. Our waiting was nice. The $2 drinks and tacos come in 2, so you have to order 2 drinks and 2 drinks for them to honor the $2. As you see in the pic, taco was very small. Oh, and it's chicken taco's that are on the $2 menu. The taco was nothing to rave about. We honestly could've passed on coming here. The pics on IG DO NOT look like the inside of this place either. It's not spacious at all and it's the lighting is bad. read more

Seafood Mania - $2 Chicken Taco - Seafood Near Me - Oceanside, New York

I ordered from this place via Uber Eats. So I can only rate what I ordered. I ordered from the "Create Your Own Boil" option from their menu. What I received wasn't considered a "boil." I ordered the headless shrimp with turkey sausage, with their mania special sauce. What I received was only the shrimp and turkey sausage. No potatoes or corn. What boil do you know contains no corn or potatoes??? Their special mania sauce was VERY oily and had absolutely no flavor. Also, I ordered their sauce to be medium spicy and their was no spice to it at all. I'm not sure if I want to try anything else from their menu after this. read more

Saw this place on IG and wanted to give them a try. Decor inside was very cute and music matched the vibe. My server was very attentive and advised they were fairly new. All the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. Food also came out quickly. I would give the drinks about a 6/10 but I would surely give this place another try after they get more time to settle in. read more

The worst brunch experience ever. It took 45 min for French toast. It was ice cold. They offered to make it over but after waiting 45min we declined. The sangria was served in a champagne glass. The staff was so busy socializing with each other they forgot about ensuring our food was coming. The bill was 98.00 dollars for absolutely nothing. They added 15.00 gratuity for the horrible service and food we received. Sad to say I was looking to host my birthday brunch there. I decided to try them out first. Please be aware do not let the gram fool you. The Dj was go however the place was empty. read more

My son and I were craving Seafood Boil. Not wanting to drive too far, we searched for one nearby. When I saw that Seafood Mania was new and women owned, my son, and I decided to try them out. First, I called to make sure they were open and then asked if they served a seafood boil. The lady on the phone was very nice. She told me that this was a soft opening and they had a limited menu. She told me the price which I thought was higher than others but we decided to go and just share the $70 BIG BOI which had Snow Grab Legs, Lobster Tail, Shrimps, Mussels, Potato, Corn. When we walked in, we were greeted by three women with a smile. However, there were more than just the three women there. Two or three more were seated at the bar, and they were very clearly part of the staff, but they didn't acknowledged us. I found this to be strange only because we were the only customers that walked in there and we have been to a few soft openings. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE, greeted us with enthusiasm but I guess not at Seafood Mania! Anyway, the server, who was one of the three who greeted us, showed us to our table. She handed us the limited menu. If I remember correctly, there was a Caesar salad, Mania salad, clam chowder, a few fried appetizers, skirt steak and two of their seafood boils. One of the seafood boil was $45 called CAJAN MANIA and it had Snow Crab Legs, Shrimps, Mussels, Potato, Corn. A lobster tail added was the extra $25 for the boil that they called the BIG BOI. The nice lady on the phone told me that it was good for a bag of leftovers the next day. That translated to a dinner for two to me. Since we were sharing the Big Boi, we decided to also order the Caesar salad and the chowder. The server told us that they were out of Caesar salad but they do have a Greek Salad which I guess they renamed as Mania Salad. In the menu it stated that it didn't have onions and olives so I guess it isn't a Greek salad? I asked if the chowder was white or red. She said white and that it was very good. I ordered it and it was neither white nor red. Well, maybe red but a real dark red. I actually think it was their mania sauce with tiny chopped pieces of canned clams and a bunch of what I believe was cilantro, also chopped but the stems were left in and it made for an unpleasant experience for my son and I. The server told us to give an honest feedback because they need to know if changes could be made. So I told her. She continued to smile, thanked me because the owners "really want to know," and then told me she would let them know. The Big Boi was served with fireworks that we could taste in the broth that once again had the same overpowering mania sauce. It did not come like the way your average boils are served. It didn't look like the way their Cajan Mania is presented on their website, in a plastic bag like we expected. The Big Boi came in a very big Martini glass. It only had 1 tiny corn and 1 small potato. I do believe that there's a good amount of shrimp and some mussels and although we didn't like the broth, it would have been a nice touch to serve this with Italian bread or any bread for that matter so we could dip it in the broth, an option for those that like the broth. I asked for ramen to be added, a $5 up charge. But my son was avoiding carbs and didn't want it. The cook was kind enough to serve it on the side. However, what was served was spaghetti tossed in guess what? Mania sauce! By the way, they bottled versions of this sauce for sale. I wish that it was communicated to me that they didn't have ramen to give me the option to say yes or no to the spaghetti instead of just serving it to me and hoping I wouldn't complain. At least they removed the $5 charge. After all, I didn't eat it after I had a taste. The ambience? It was too dark. We couldn't see what we were eating. How would we know if there are unknown floaters in there? But that was not the reason we asked for the light to be turned up a little. That was just an afterthought. Anyway, the place is nicely decorated. We enjoyed the painted walls & the usual sea creatures hanging above us & mounted on the walls. They have a nice couch in the waiting area. If you are going there, bring a sweater or a jacket. Maybe it was just because it was empty that we felt cold, but yeah, it was chilly in there. We also had to ask for paper napkins because they weren't provided. The waitress dropped off a pitcher of water on our table. I'm really not sure how I feel about that. I feel like it is the job of a server to serve and that includes pouring and refilling our glass unless we asked for the pitcher of water so that we wouldn't have to wait for a refill. Listen, the place is new and at the moment, like anything and everything new, there is gonna be some trial and error. I hope that this review is read as constructive criticism. The server was nice, the place looked nice. It just needs adjustments. read more

I recently attended Seafood Mania for the first time, for a friend's son's 13th birthday party. My friend rented the place for a few hours prior to its opening. For full transparency, when I heard it was a black-owned establishment, I immediately went in thinking the worst. However, let me tell you, their hospitality was unmatched! They were professional the entire event; the food came out hot and on time, and the parents had access to a full bar! Samantha was the bartender, and sis was a magician with the drinks. Khadijah was our beautiful waitress, and no matter how many times we stopped and asked for something, she didn't hesitate to assist, and her energy was welcoming. What I also liked about this place was, for this 13th birthday party, they provided the DJ (who hit all the smooth grooves; our kids weren't dancing, so he catered to the parents lol, we loved it), they provided a creative, well-thought-out menu, and get this, they also provided entertainment for the kids that was not asked of them. Large UNO cards for the win! Also, they provided the decor and the dance floor!!!! Thank you, Seafood Mania, for a job well done. We will be back! read more

I visited on Cinco de Mayo so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with the longer wait. However, the bartender was really nice, attentive and made good drinks! I had the salmon sliders and shrimp tacos ...so good! For ambiance...it's a 1. Definitely not a "date night" spot but more like quick bite, drinks and leave. I would visit again because the food was good but if the wait is as long, I wouldn't come a third time. read more

We came here to celebrate a birthday, 12 of us on a Friday evening. Our food order took 3 hours, food was cold, some people in our party left and went someplace else to eat. they told us they ran out of lobster that we ordered, they ran out of skirt steak that we ordered. When the food actually came, it came one plate at a time. Our entire table was not provided food at the same time with long gaps between each dish. Do not let me get started on how long it took for the drinks. I'm disappointed to say that I cannot recommend this place. The experience was a very unpleasant one. read more

We get the bill it's $424.23 and added gratuity. When asked why is there an 20% gratuity , they said bc it's an event . Lies lies lies a dj is an event ? After reviewing bill in full , she overcharged us and charges regular menu prices opposed to happy hour . After 25 min or reviewing bill, it came down to $173 . I'll never return ! Sad read more
