    Table by window obviously. If there is no wait, the service is good. The blue crab and fried shrimp were excellent.

    The piña coladas come in those neon colored plastic tubes and are crazy delicious. It's probably the pound of sugar in each.

    Can't make it to the Hamptons this weekend? Get a taste of ocean living right here in BK. Haven't experienced any of the service issues other people mentioned...

    Great Maryland crabs! Got just before sunset so you can watch the sunset as you eat great food.

    Come for the drinks, games and ambiance, but eat next door at Hometown BBQ. View from the top deck is ridiculous.

    Great place to grab a drink on a warm day. Can turn into a mad house though, and take forever to get a drink.

    Fork over your paycheck for the blue crabs. Just do it. And make sure to play in the backyard.

    Drinks are a bit weak. Other than that this is a seafood lovers paradise with a great view of the NYC harbor.

    Skip the laughable upcharge for cajun fries. Just sprinkle on the Old Bay already sitting on your table.

    The massive piña colada is freaking amazing! No matter how hard they sell you, don't get the extra shot of rum: it's gross.

    Four of the waiters/busboys got into a physical fight amongst each other right next to our table. Lots of swearing and scuffling. Food is good, though.

    Oysters for $1 on Mon & Tue is the best. Also try their fried shrimp with old bay.

    Great outdoor vibe for seafood, but the peal and eat shrimp were too mushy, the battered cod was tasteless.
