The space is newly renovated light blue and airy. Mary has created a unique experience in the West Village and we love her unique dishes of seafood glory! Love! Love Mary!
J ASeptember 7, 2017One of my favourite places in NY! Everything was amazing. The restaurant is really cute, and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We wished we could've ordered more so we could try every dish!
Foxxy BApril 14, 2017Enjoy the Black Sea Bass (grilled), fries, sparkling rosé, & friendly staff. Place is small, so expect a wait (table for two on a busy night is easily 30+ min).- On your first visit, go ahead and get the lobster roll. Second visit I'd try the cod fish sandwich. Plan for it taking you a good hour to get through all the shoestring fries though.
Kate FrawleySeptember 4, 2016The shrimp burger was Amazing the lobster rolls are really delish! The oysters & the banana bread pudding was supreme! Service exceptional! One of the best meals I have ever had!! 5 stars hands down!
Chefs FeedJanuary 19, 2017"This is hands down the best lobster roll you will ever eat. The best seat is at the bar overlooking the kitchen, where they prepare the freshest and best seafood." Read more
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014The rest of the menu consists of seafood dishes with a global influence: yellowfin tuna sliders, Peruvian tilapia filets served with leeks, shiitakes and ginger, a shellfish bouillabaisse and more. Read more
Jonathan SeninJanuary 28, 2014Shoe. String. Fries. Eat 'em with a fork. Overall: good setup. Light atmosphere in an open kitchen leads to relaxed eating. You're here for the fish not for the fantabulous.- Lindsay CAugust 18, 2015I love Mary’s Fish Camp! Start with the spicy campechana with crab, shrimp, avocado and serrano. For an entree, I highly recommend the grilled whole fish (the dorado is my fave)!
Thomas StroblOctober 5, 2014Lovely spot, nice staff and really good food. Try to catch a seat precisely between 6pm and 6:30pm, it might be full afterwards. We had the Lobster Roll and the King Salmon; it was fantastic.
Nathan ChessinMay 6, 2013The Atlantic Cod sandwich was one of the best fish sandwiches I've ever had. It was off the hook! Perfect seasoning, great dressing and soft but crunchy bread. Brussel sprout salad is also a must.
Erica JaffeJune 5, 2014Order this and you will not be disappointed: elotes (Mexican corn), beet salad, fish tacos, oysters, deviled eggs, hot fudge sundae and banana cream pie. Come hungry!!!
Xx XxMarch 10, 2018Classic seafood in a single, warm space. Excellent service. Get the Canadian steamers and a whole grilled fish! Fries are also amazing :)
Robert AccetturaDecember 15, 2015Do you like fish? If so you'll like this place. No? Look elsewhere. This is a very seafood heavy menu. Good quality and good portions. Cozy dining room, gets busy.
Ben K.June 17, 2017My favorite lobster roll in NYC. Love this place. Cozy and and a revolving menu of fresh seafood.
Joshua FishmanJuly 15, 2012Gonna wait whenever you arrive to this tiny amazing seafood joint in the WV! Arrive at 9ish, go find a drink to sit at 10... Kitchen slows down and great service! A must try lobster roll!
Holger LüdorfOctober 27, 2012I didn't want to believe it but the lobster role is that good. Little creamier than usual but very good. Check the oyster selection, too.
Kim AnehallNovember 18, 2018Lobster roll a wonderful bite of food with solid chunks of lobster worth sinking your teeth in. Yummy!
refinery29August 3, 2014What to Order:Lobster roll with fries; Don't leave without considering the homespun dessert roster (blueberry cobbler; ice cream sundae). Read more
First We FeastAugust 4, 2014Sit at the counter with a tray of Moon Shoals, a bottle of wine, and maybe one of those famous mayo-heavy lobster rolls stuffed into a Pepperidge Farm bun. Read more- Haley Hughes BryanJune 10, 2012Lobster roll is buttery & delicious but very small portion compared to price ($28!!) Come early; any later than 7 pm and you'll be waiting for 2+ hrs. Great food overall if you don't care about price.
FaFFySeptember 12, 2017Very fresh ingredient!! Nice place to stop by for oyster n drink. Fish also fresh. Recommended place in this area!!
Stacy SalameJuly 8, 2015The best lobster rolls ever! And the cole slaw was good, has capers and not too saucy. Worth waiting in line for this place!- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014The lobster roll is pretty damn good, two buttery buns stuffed with mayo-smothered chunks of lobster and served with hot French fries.

Annie MarkhamNovember 25, 2012Great! Fresh! Yums town USA. I loved the use of spice with the seafood. And the kitchen is open and right in front of you which means you know there's no funny business goin on ;)
- First We FeastAugust 4, 2014Order this: East Coast oysters, lobster roll, whole fish of the day, hot-fudge sundae Read more
Steve MannelSeptember 17, 2011I'd vote for the fish taco's as well. The lobster roll is very good, but too mayonnaisey for my wife. And the lobster knuckles are fun and tasty if you are skilled at removal.
Mark BApril 24, 2016Amazing Lobster Roll & French Fries. Lovely space. Perfect for lunch. Great, friendly staff!
Kent GouldOctober 22, 2011This is a west village staple-- now I know why. It's delicious, not pricey, and easy going. I had the sea bass special pan roasted. It was amazing.
Christina CosterJune 25, 2015Lovely, quaint little seafood joint in the West Village. Must get the lobster roll- its fab!
New York HabitatNovember 29, 2011The lobster roll and fries here is just ridiculously good. Stuffed with lobster with a pile of fries on the side, sometimes you just have to indulge.
tze chunAugust 13, 2014The corn and lobster chowder is a hearty (non-cream based) starter and the shrimp burger is to die for!
MichelleSeptember 26, 2013The mussels on the menu were divine but the clams were a little unfresh for me (a blackboard item). Get the lobster if they haven't run out
Damian BayonaDecember 15, 2015Local west village restaurant that's cozy and popular. Prices and portions reflect the neighborhood 💁🏻
Get the lobster roll - if you haven't figured that out yet! But also, fried oysters and clams (steamers) are awesome. Best homemade tartar sauce on earth!
Joe BastianichMay 2, 2012One of my favorite places to eat in NYC. Incredible seafood. If they have beach point oysters get them!
Anna BoffettaApril 22, 2018Get the lobster roll with fries, it is their specialty and never goes out of style
Tasting TableMay 4, 2012Try the lobster roll--winner of last year's Lobster Roll Rumble. Mary's Fish Camp will be a fierce contender again in our 2012 Lobster Roll Rumble: Read more
The Corcoran GroupMay 24, 2011Get here early before they sell out of their divine Lobster Roll. Otherwise, you'll have to settle for their godly Shellfish Bouillabaisse.
Bobby DacronOctober 12, 2013Lobster roll, bouillabaisse , mahi mahi , skate ribs ....actually the whole feckin menu- Justin LintzAugust 13, 201852 dollars for a 1.5 lb steamed lobster? 35 dollars for a lobster roll? Food was no where near worth the price
Emily WilsonSeptember 3, 2015Look out for the specials and always leave room for the hot fudge sundae
Inge Van HeckeMay 1, 2013I LOVE this place, nice vibe, fun crowd, great lobster roll, super fresh fish
fish tacos if they have them. and the bread pudding was awesome.
Sayli AlonsoApril 9, 2013Clam chowder was off the chain!!! Really enjoyed the shrimped toast and deviled eggs too.
