Reviews for Southside Fish and Clam in Lindenhurst, NY
Throw back in time. Large fresh fish market/restaurant. Placed order at counter, sat and waited for number to be called.... Beverage orders at different counter, separate ring up!? Bartender also shucked fresh oysters... Strange set up but seemed towork. The Captain's platter was very good, with the exception of shrimp which were hammered and everything needed a little moreseasoning. The Scallops were sweet and tender, baked clams and cod were delish. The whole lobster from Nova Scotia was alsosweet and tender. Had to bring claws back to be cracked. I was a little put off by the refrigeration as beverages were not coldand the gelato looked like it was melting... Although the fish was excellent I wondered if refrigeration was ok in the back. Mgmt was very patient with us as we lost track of time catching up with relatives from out of town and didn't realize they weretrying to close. Overall good experience and would go back/ recommend to others. Read more
My family and I have been coming to this place for over 20 years now, and I'm sorry to say we will no longer be returning. The... quality of the broiled lobsters has dramatically worsened. Last two takeout orders - lobsters tasted gamey and rubbery, likethey had been reheated multiple times, and the coleslaw had gone bad and needed to be thrown out. Terrible and verydisappointing. We will need to find a new place for lobster now. Read more
I've been coming here for 35 years and Southside has always been consistently good. I now live out of the country and whenever I... return home to Long Island, I make a point of coming here for lobster and littlenecks. The staff are always friendly and theinformal atmosphere is very relaxing. Read more

If you want a basket of fried fish, you'll do well here but if you want a facny experience, this place is not for you. Portions... are a good size. The people behind the counter always seem rushed (and it's usually not their fault). Other customers are notnice especially after a beer or three. The fish decore is perfection. Read more
I love love Southside. They always take care or me and treat me like family. I have never ever had a disappointing meal! Happy... Holidays oxo Read more
Haven't been back in over a year. The price has gone up on some menu items, but the seafood tasted fresh, so can't complain too... much. The twin lobster has a MP so that'll go up and down with supply and demand. There has been some changes such as freerefill on a soda purchase which is great. Look for the specials of the day and you'll get a satisfying meal. Read more
Food is decent. Tables are sticky. Lights were flashing. No soap in ladies room. Oh, and cockroaches on the bar. Not clean at... all. Read more
