- Bin YangMay 10, 2015All the starters are worth ordering but if you had to pick, I'd go with the conch fritters and jerk ribs. Crispy shark sandwich is meaty and juicy. Cool back garden for your summer delight!
- Time Out New YorkJuly 18, 2018An ode to Saint Martin beach shacks, this uptown seafood joint serves Belizean conch fritters with lime-zest rémoulade and baked shark with salsa verde on its Caribbean-teal backyard patio. Read more
- Lehi MirandaOctober 26, 2015I had the broiled salmon on Johnny cakes...AMAZING!!! Between the crisp cakes, the succulent salmon and the satisfying salsa, there were so many layers of flavor and texture! Heaven is in Harlem!!
- Jesse BagelsAugust 12, 2015This place is the real deal, the crabs and shrimp were huge and packed with flavor, wings were meaty and delicious, jerk ribs were dry and mild but pretty good, loved it!
- Eze UdeJune 27, 2015Johnny Cakes, Chicken Wings, and conch fritters to share - with a Shark & bake (to yourself)- all washed down with ginger beer.. If you're still hungry throw in an order of crab legs. Thank me later ✌
- MarcSeptember 2, 2017Tasting Table Top 10 Seafood Shacks (US):"... kitschy Caribbean hole-in-the-wall in Harlem is so legit you'll swear you were dining oceanside..." Conch fritters & snow crab legs (try coco curry sauce)
- Katie DAugust 14, 2017The food was very delicious however the service was fantastic. The folks that work there couldn't be nicer. Order up front, grab a beverage then sneak out back to sit outside while you wait.
- Harlem AmbassadorFebruary 26, 2015A Cape Cod\Caribbean mash up with an island focus that gives new meaning to seafood. Crabby dip with callaloo is a keeper. That salmon sandwich is right up there. Turn down that music! Back garden???
- MbaliJanuary 28, 2015Everything is yummy! The "chips" are addictive and the Crabby Dip (with plantain chips) and shark and bake sandwich are must haves 👌
- Foursquare InsidersOctober 7, 2015"Authentic Caribbean food in Harlem that's worth the trip. Grab a picnic table outside with your friends and order one of everything." - Alexa Mehraban, @EatingNYC Read more
- laurenJuly 11, 2015Great casual seafood spot, worth the trek to Harlem. Only downfall: no booze + not BYOB. Alaskan king crab, plantains & conch fritters are great. Lobster bake was good, but nothing special.
- Ilya KuznetsovMarch 30, 2018Tried the $5 special meals. The shrimps were amazing, burger was ok. Bear in mind - these are snacks, so the portions are not big at all. Great price for seafood.
- Sean SmithMay 8, 2016Shark and bake is delicious. Johnny cakes are super tasty. Crab is also good and plentiful. Be sure to check out the home made hot sauces.
- Untapped CitiesJuly 18, 2018It specializes in dishes that have a burst of island flavor, including Caribbean street foods as well as New England classics like Snow Crab Steampots. Read more
- Vanessa VeeMarch 1, 2017Tiny joint with a cool playlist and even better food. Staff is friendly and water is always available! All the stars.
- Natalie LeMossOctober 20, 2021It might not be the fanciest restaurant around, but the jerk spices and crab legs will have you coming back for more!
- Lea CeasrineJuly 10, 2015Finally got to try this neighborhood spot. Crab bake sandwich was so buttery + flavorful! Ask for Lolo's special sauce ;)
- Paul SantoraDecember 2, 2014You can't go wrong. I haven't had a dish I didn't like (so far). Next on the list is the cauliflower.
- Joseph O'DonnellNovember 20, 2017The shark bake is flaky, super juicy, and wrapped in a scallion johnnycake. Absolutely delicious
- You can't go wrong with whatever you get from here, but ask about specials when you call since the menu online isn't updated.
- Had the crab legs with lolo's sauce, dutty rice, and corn on the cob... Everything was delicious!
- Eaters HeavenDecember 12, 2017Fun casual place, food is ok. Come to hangout and relax, but don’t get hung up on the quality and taste. In the warmer weather it might be better.
- Lindsay KirkOctober 13, 2015Get the crab legs and shrimp in the special sauce, the conch fritters and plantain chips!
- Lea CeasrineFebruary 2, 2017Fish that will make you forget you're still in NYC, and not on the NorthEast shore.
- The crab dip and shrimp with Lolo's Special Sauce are my favorites.
- Patrick BaskinNovember 11, 2015Great concept and service. Food is good but a bit greasy so be prepared for a grease overload after dinner. Not healthy at all
- Alex RobertsonJanuary 11, 2017just a wonderful vibe to this place--they were very late with our food but it was hard to care too much.
- LaurenJuly 14, 2015"The shell-on shrimp are fresh and succulent, but anything swimming in Mohan’s coconut curry would probably taste great." via NYMag/Grub Street | The 30 Best (New) Cheap Eats in NYC [July 12, 2015]
