Harbor Crab: Delight in American Seafood and Burgers in Patchogue

On the water in Patchogue, LI, this place has something for everyone in a casual, albeit dated, setting. Food was very good as one would expect, and they have specials every night. With a great bar overlooking the marina and ample outdoor seating it will become a favorite when visiting friends and family in LI. At a later seating on a Tuesday I ordered the mariscada and it was ok. It didn't have enough rice to absorb/complement the gravy in the stew to MY taste. My wife ordered the lobster roll said it tasted good with perhaps a bit too much onion. We returned the next day a bit earlier in the evening with my son and his spouse and was told the crab cake and hamburger sandwiches were very tasty. I will say the French fries they serve were just about perfect and can tell they used fresh oil both nights.

We went two weekends in a row which wasn't planned. The first time was so good we had to go back. The first time we got the fried calamari, baked clams and I got a burger and fries and my husband got the soft shell crab. The food was excellent especially the fries. Legit the best fries I've ever had. The second time we instead of the baked clams we got the crab cake and ordered all the other items again. The crab cake was amazing. Highly recommend

I'm calling this review "Come Monday". Why you ask? Because I came here on a Monday afternoon. We weren't expecting to see much of a crowd but when we were brought onto the deck, the outdoor bar was full and lively. There are some high top tables so we grabbed one along with some drinks (a landshark in case you were wondering. See, "Come Monday" makes even more sense now, huh)... Our server, Shaliq, was incredible, making sure we were well taken care of. And the food was awesome. The shrimp nachos were very tasty and the lobster roll was exactly what I hoped for with plenty of meat (at a very reasonable price).

We called up at 7:45 pm and asked if they could take us alan 8:25 pm on a Saturday night on the summer and they said yes. Went here to have a nice seafood dinner by the water. I wanted to sit outside but my cousin thought it was too humid for her so we went to the 2nd floor to overlook the boats There were several interesting items at our table- coconut fried shrimp app (a little too oily), grilled salmon with broccoli rabe and squash and yellow rice - delicious - I had them out trying we teriyaki in the side - I'm glad I did because that was spicy. Someone else ordered fra diavolo with seafood (seafood was good but the very specific part was all the way at the bottoms of the bow tie pasta; salad suitors grilled chicken (good- she doesn't like seafood so this was a good option)and flounder stuffed with crab- which was just ok (a little too much breading in the crab mix The waiter was very attentive so that was good. they saw sometimes have bands and daily specials as well. Ig is set on the Patchogue river.Nice views floor sure!

Still our favorite place... not that the summer is here we will probably go once a week... I can't get a better steak sandwich, roast beef panini anywhere. I wish I could try something else but it's so good. My wife had the lobster roll and for $31 it's amazing. My son had shrimp scampi and he love it too... staff is great... Joanna Jo-jo was our waitress and she was great, funny and attentive. She remember what my daughters ate last week when they came in. Maria the bartender made my wife an Arnold Palmer with citrus vodka and was amazing.... Great view too!!

Came here for restaurant week. The service was good. Our waitress was so friendly. The restaurant is near a dock so on a nice day it would have a great view. Most of everything we ordered was delicious. For the price we were surprised by the amount of food given. I got the coconut shrimp and the shrimps were jumbo. The sauce that it came with was delicious. Hubby got the tuna wonton which was probably our favorite thing. I got the shrimp and clam del chef and it was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The clams had no sand luckily. Hubbys lobster roll wasn't that great. It was super salty and the lobster seemed overcooked. The fries were good though. We were so full that we had to take the dessert together. Hub loved the chocolate cheesecake but my chocolate peanut butter pie was overly sweet.

I end up at the Harbor Crab every so often. Every time I've been there it has been a good experience. I am usually there late afternoon/early evening on a Friday for some reason. This time we got clams on the half shell, fish and chips, and the scampi that had shrimp and scallops. Everything was delicious, especially the scampi. Our server was wonderful and we got to sit outside on the deck. It wasn't the warmest night but it was enjoyable. The bathroom was clean, just as the rest of the place. I will continue to go back and would recommend you do the same.

I have been here a few times and always have a good experience. Came in on a Saturday around 3:30 for a late lunch. There were a few tables with people eating inside. There is also an outside seating area near the parking lot. I have also sat at a table that is on the dock. There is an inside bar as well as an outside bar that is right on the water. Today I had the oyster poboy. It came out real quick because there were not many people there. It came with fries and a pickle. It definitely was a little messy because it was so full hit I enjoyed it.
