Really delicious seafood, excellent beer and wine in an informal and laid back atmosphere. The people who run the place and serve are really pleasant. It's not 'fine dining' or anything near, but the food was high quality ingredients, very well cooked and presented. Good value too.

Ate here recently with my GF late on a Sunday after she bugged me for lobster. They have a ton of options from entree plates to a la carte seafood to vegetable sides. We split the lobster dinner along with an order of popcorn shrimp and two beers. The popcorn shrimp were delicious, as was the lobster, and the lobster was served with roasted potatoes, corn on the cobb and coleslaw. All of the sides were very good, the potatoes especially had an almost-sweet quality to the seasoning that I found r...eally interesting. I also appreciated the coleslaw was not swimming in mayonnaise. The bill came out to about $60 before tip which seemed very reasonable. For comparison, the lobster dinner at Greenpoint Fish & Lobster is the same size and same price ($35) but comes with no sides.

The atmosphere is very relaxed; they have a couple TVs playing sports, the decor is reminiscent of any beachside seafood shack you've been to and waiters don't take your order - instead you order at the bar counter and then a server brings you your food.

It's far enough off the beaten path in Greenpoint that you shouldn't have to worry about crowds or waits. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for seafood and don't want to break the bank. Show all

After a rather disappointing evening in Manhattan, my boyfriend cheered me up by taking me to Brooklyn, specifically the Lobster Joint restaurant in Greenpoint. Being a proud Bronxite, and a visitor to the City Island seafood houses, I was wary of eating seafood in Lena Dunham land. Would my dining experience be ruined by hipper than thou hipsters? Crappy food?

Happy to say I was proven wrong.

It was after eleven at night, but a friendly waitress welcomed me and my boyfriend. Cool music f...rom the eighties played overhead, and I enjoyed the simple, down to earth atmosphere. Me and my boyfriend got down to eating business. We ordered lobster roll with fries, New England clam chowder, shrimp tacos. I ate the tacos and nibbled on the fries, while my better half had the lobster roll and soup.

By the end of the meal, my boyfriend enthusiastically finished his lobster roll and soup. I was impressed by the freshness of the shrimp in the tacos, the deliciousness of the guacamole. Bravo! Lobster Joint made my evening better than I thought it would be. Pic enclosed to show the goodness. Show all

This is a noisy fast paced eatery which serves a lot of take outs. Cocktails are great! No reserved seating, grab a chair where you can. Out hotel had listed this as a good place, and it was within a short walk of the Box House Hotel. We had dinner one evening and returned again for a late lunch. Food was superb and reasonably priced! Tables are shared which can make for a convivial atmosphere. Succulent oysters, crab and lobster (of course) with plenty of other tempting fare. Staff whizz around... but are attentive and very professional. Definitely recommend. Show all

We live in the neighborhood....so why only have reviews from visitors? The Lobster Joint has a large menu and daily specials that are always fresh, well-prepared and a good value. If you can't decide, Lobster Club Roll with fries. Done. Lobster, avocado and bacon, really could it be better?

Lobster claw bloody Mary is great. A really tasty bloody and then a lobster claw to throw it over the top.

Friendly, knowledgeable and attentive staff. Come with a crowd and sit under the tent in the ba...ck or come by yourself and sit the bar. You will be happy you did.

Oh.....and by the way, they do have some non-seafood options which I hear are really good too. I wouldn't know personally, Lobster Club Roll!!! Show all
