City Island Lobster House: Bronx Waterfront Seafood
City Island Lobster House sits just off the first left after the City Island bridge, on Bridge Street overlooking a marina on the Long Island Sound. It has been the island’s go-to for whole lobsters, crab legs and jumbo shrimp, with a summer deck that lets you skip the weekend traffic crawl down City Island Avenue.
This is a classic big-portion Bronx seafood house — antipasto platters, garlic bread, tropical punch and lobster done a dozen ways. It is open all year, indoors and out, and offers free docking for boaters during the season.
What to Expect
City Island Lobster House does not run a verified happy hour. The bar is fully stocked and known for oversized specialty cocktails, but drinks are served at standard prices whenever you visit.
The Room
A casual, family-style seafood room with a marina-facing outdoor deck that comes alive on warm weekends. Expect a lively, unpretentious crowd of locals, boaters and day-trippers.
