Hungry Crab Juicy Seafood and Bar Island Park, NY 4245 Austin Boulevard, Island Park, NY 11558

"The portions were impressive. But the food left a lot to be desired. I ordered surf n turf and I only like 15% of what was on my plate. The steak tasted like it had been in a freezer for too long. The lobster had more mashed potatoes stuffing that meat. The tail was TINY. The broccoli looked beautiful but it also tasted like it had been in the freezer too long. The mashed potatoes were good but very oily. I also ordered the crispy calamari and it was oddly sweet…like the batter had sugar in it. Our server was really friendly and the service was really fast, but I probably wouldn’t eat here again, or recommend it."

"Hungry Crab is amazing!!!! Great portions and super tasty. Very nice ambiance and great decorations. Service was top notch! My wife and I went there on our anniversary and this place impressed us. Totally recommend 5 star all the way! By far my new favorite spot."

"This place has such a fantastic theme, and the staff and food make it even better! After a beautiful day at the beach, we decided to stop by for late lunch, and it was a great choice! The shrimp cocktail we ordered was good and tasty, but what really blew me away was the half-pound of boiled shrimps with garlic seasoning. It was absolutely mind-blowingly delicious and flavorful, and we couldn't resist ordering mashed potatoes to enjoy the leftover sauce with it! I also appreciated that the shrimp were de-veined, which is not always standard. The cocktail I had - the coconut margarita - was a bit of a letdown. It was super strong (no complaints there), but I couldn't taste any coconut flavor—just the tequila and lemon. The interior is fun, playful, and tastefully decorated with hanging seafood creatures. Unlike other similar places I have been to, this one is well-maintained and has a modern vibe with a nautical theme. It's quite photogenic, and we spent some time taking pictures of the decorations. The staff was exceptional! They welcomed us even though we arrived 20 minutes before the official opening time and seated us right away. Our waiter was very friendly and offered some great recommendations. Overall, the place is well-managed, and I'd be happy to swing by again in the future. They have dedicated parking, but there are also plenty of spaces available at the curb. It's definitely a place worth checking out! Visited on a Sunday, July 2023. Paid by card."

"Such a fun place to go with family, friends, a date!! Great atmosphere!! The service was wonderful!! Our server...Jean...was friendly and helpful. There were 6 in our party and it was the first time for some of us. She was patient and answered whatever questions we had...all with a lovely smile!! The restaurant was clean and the food was fresh. I highly recommend you try it out!!"

"I actually give this restaurant 4.5 stars. I just ate here with my wife for Mother’s Day. The restaurant has plenty of seating and parking. The food was excellent and the platter we ordered came with three lobster tails, shrimp, muscles, crab legs, clams, crayfish, fresh corn on the cob , potatoes and spaghetti. It gets 4.5 stars and not 5 because the crayfish were frozen and so when cooked were pretty flavorless. That being said the portions were large and everything else was delicious. I’d definitely go back to again."
