Now that the restaurant has a full liquor license, this is a solid choice for after work drinks and oysters, or a burger and cocktail at the bar. [Eater 38 Member]

YES YES YES. Cape Cod in Brooklyn. Amazing lobster roll, whole belly clam roll, oysters, steamer clams w/ butter + herbs. Cocktail: chevette. Don't skip donut dessert w/ bourbon whipped cream. Mmmmmm

Big rock oysters are great. Everything I've tried on the menu is great. Wine is great. Cash only is straight up customer hostile though. You can afford 2% card fees with these prices.

The steamers are incredibly fresh and come perfectly prepared. The lobster roll is tasty but a bit small for the price. And they always have a good rotation of seasonal Narragansett available.

Made with the full fried clam, rather than fragments, the clam roll is the best in town, and there’s also no better lobster bisque, painted a pleasing shade of orange. Read more

My heart is as full as my stomach. Get the cast iron clams and a $3 beer. Split the French fries. Get the key lime pie topped with homemade whipped cream. Come back and try everything on the menu.

My friend and I shared the lobster roll and the fried clam roll - both were amazing! The donut dessert was also fantastic. Friendly service, cash only but ATM in the back.

Two things: 1) The burger and fries are prob my favorite in the area, and 2) The chicken and waffles for brunch changed my life forever.

Oysters are trending this week and Littleneck has some of the best in the Big Apple. Make sure to catch the $1 oyster happy hour from 5-7 PM to go along with the $5 drafts.

The food is fantastic. The beer is diverse. The clams are fresh and the music is great. I love this place! Get the clam roll and start off with some oysters or littleneck clams.

Village Voice is proud to welcome Littleneck to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. The delicious lobster roll is made with mayo and piled into a toasted bun.
Simran JaisingAugust 22, 2013
Classic buttery and fleshy lobster rolls. High quality, fresh lobster. Standard delicious mussels--not hard to mess up anywhere, but the accompanying toasted and buttered bread takes the cake.

Try the Maine-style lobster roll. Large chunks of freshly steamed lobster meat are dressed with a very light mayo and diced celery on a warm bun. A delicious contender in our 2012 Lobster Roll Rumble: Read more

order delish sweet potato hash w/side of bacon. + order coffee so you can experience cute tiny sugar dish & tiny cow-shaped creamer.
James CJune 23, 2013
Clam chowder was great the bacon dish was awesome and the oysters are a must try with so many styles. Cash only and gets crowded but totally worth a trip.

Whole Belly Clam Roll - Gigantic whole belly clams are fried as expertly as at any New England clam shack - greaseless, tender, crisp, and hot stuffed into a buttered toasted top-split hot dog bun. Read more

a very good resto. highlights are the excellent raw bar, a great scallop special, the skate entree and the whole belly clam roll. i'd skip the chowder if i were you.
Ben KnoxOctober 16, 2015
The oysters and ambiance are awesome! This place is very cool with a chill + sexy vibe. Def look forward to going back.

Waited 55 mins to get a burger and salad in an almost empty restaurant on Saturday, a bit ridiculous. Upside- oysters perfect shucked and delicious burger. Waitstaff needs lots of help
Lauren DowningAugust 24, 2013
Ugh. The key lime pie. Oh my god. One of the best things I have ever put into my piehole, and there's a lot of great eating to be done around here.
Sam LeeApril 19, 2014
Everything very tasty! But if ur a guy don't come here hungry unless u get 2 entrees. $1 oysters weekday 5-7pm only. Had them anyway, so many different kinds! Yummy!

Thai curry PEI mussels are phenomenal. So packed with flavor and a touch spicy. Ask for extra bread for the broth!
Halstead PropertyJanuary 27, 2012
Love the creative spins on classic seafood dishes. It made for a fabulous experience. The hot lobster rolls and whole belly clam rolls had us raving!
Beni ChhunApril 4, 2019
The food and service are great. Everything I’ve had there is fantastic. Cash only though, contrary to what Foursquare says.
Josh EagleMarch 14, 2018
Broccoli with anchovy aioli, wellfleet oysters, lobster roll, and the stellar service were all off the hook🙌
JoshuaJuly 13, 2014
Really good seafood. Cheap Narragansett and good clams. Dollar oysters 5-7 Monday -Wednesday. I would recommend the streamed clams
Rachel LandeJuly 19, 2014
Love this place. Oysters are always delicious and fresh. Really enjoyed the steamers & little neck clam special w kielbasa.
Iga JakubikSeptember 13, 2016
Oysters, Crab roll, clams all worth ordering. Great service too!
CristinaSeptember 23, 2014
Great happy hour of oysters and beers until 7pm! So good! Great ambience and service :)
Alex RainertAugust 6, 2012
Not in the mood for a lobster roll? Tuck into this heaping clam roll and you won't be disappointed.
Lears FoolNovember 8, 2015
The best $1 oyster happy hour I have ever experienced. Seriously. Delicious oysters.
Drea BernardiDecember 9, 2011
Loved this place the clam roll was ridic! We only wish that it came with fries. 5 bucks for a huge bowl of FF when all I need is a side is a lil cray cray.
Wesley VerhoeveAugust 15, 2014
Nice, small selection of well known/liked oysters (about 7 kinds). Nautical theme, great staff.
Alex RainertAugust 6, 2012
You like clams? The steamers here are fantastic. The cilantro, garlic and jalapeños give them a strong opinion too.
eric bornemannMay 20, 2021
Cute little place for shellfish and drinks. Hopefully the food isn’t from the Gowanus.
Serious EatsMarch 19, 2013
A real deal New England-style clam shack with great fried clam bellies.
samantha lawMay 13, 2016
Get there before 6 on weekends! Gets super crazy after that for dinner and lots of families.
ᴡ ElliotApril 19, 2015
The bartender recommended the Carmelita. He was right. (Plus a lobster roll.)
Damon GarrettAugust 9, 2014
It's cute here, but Brooklyn Fish Camp wins every time on the plate. Grab a drink and head up the street.
Alinutza VJanuary 7, 2016
I keep coming back because it feels like the perfect place to have oysters in the area.

One of the few brunches I can get behind. Shrimp and Grits and Chicken and Waffles ftw.

The pies for dessert are delicious. If you're there on a weekend night, make sure you pre-order a slice as they often run out!
Shawn ChengSeptember 21, 2014
IMO I would prefer butter and garlic over the light mayo in the lobster rolls.
SaraFebruary 18, 2019
Great east coast oysters, nicely curated wine selection.
Kiri MastersDecember 20, 2014
Sweet intimate and rustic atmosphere, good starter special. Generous Lobster rolls.
Owen IversonFebruary 19, 2016
nice place off the beaten path - just stopped off for a cocktail or two.
Shawn ChengSeptember 21, 2014
The muscles, get the Thai basil muscles. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 until you order these.
Valentina MonteJune 25, 2015
The lobster roll here is alright. It's no luke's lobster, but the $1 oyster happy hour is terrific!
Maxwell FoxmanJanuary 23, 2015
$1 oyster happy hour. Good drink list and tasty specials
