Food was good not hot, if you sit outside there are way too many birds. Not relaxing outside. Prices are good. The number calling for food gotta get better, you can’t understand her. Line was long but they move

Seafood City – City Island, New York During a recent trip to New York, I had the pleasure of visiting Seafood City in City Island to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and it was a fantastic experience. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of parking and seating available. The service was quick and efficient, and the prices were very reasonable, adding to the overall value of the meal. We tried a variety of dishes, including raw oysters, fried lobster tails, broiled lobster tails with garlic pasta, Manhattan clam chowder, a cheeseburger with fries, chicken tenders, and fried shrimp. Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection, except for the garlic pasta, which was a bit bland. Despite that, the quality of the other dishes made up for it. One of the standout features of Seafood City is its family-friendly atmosphere, which includes a small arcade for children to enjoy. It’s a great touch that keeps kids entertained while waiting. One thing to note is that Seafood City is cash-only, which can be inconvenient, though they do provide an on-site ATM (with a fee). Overall, I highly recommend Seafood City for its excellent seafood, reasonable prices, and family-friendly environment. I’ll definitely stop by again when I’m back in town!

Everything tasted fresh and wasn't overly seasoned! Great atmosphere with area for children (and adults) to play at, nice spacious indoor and outdoor seating as well. There are ATMs available if you need to withdraw some cash.

Is a great place for you to go eat and spend time with friends and family. Prices are typical for New York area. The place it’s loud and very crowded. It’s very organized and for fast food is very clean. The menu is really extensive for mostly finger food. Indoor and outdoor seating available. It has a beautiful view.

I was told by my colleagues that this was a teacher's place, meaning a restaurant where teachers go to celebrate the last day of school, a momentous occasion, etc. This place had everybody there...teachers, families, younger generation hanging out near the mini arcade. There's music, drinks, seafood, burgers, hot dogs, fries. You can opt to sit inside or outside. Casual wear.
