Oceanic Boil - Jackson Heights

I was craving mac and cheese and calamari and found the perfect place to try. Fried calamari was 10/10 and it comes with fries. Mac and Cheese (with cajun) was 9/10 just because I’ve had others that were a bit more flavorful but will absolutely recommend both and the place itself. The decor was so cute. (I had a takeout order)

I traditionally have lobster on my birthday but also craved a seafood boil. My family and I stopped in last week to celebrate, we made a reservation but it honestly wasn’t needed. We sat quickly and there were still seats available. My mom and I each had frozen daiquiris and boyfriend had a Sapporo. Service was OK but the food really delivered. I had 1 lb snow crab and 1 lb crawfish. My mom and boyfriend had lobsters. They estimated the size to be 1.5 lbs. I had mine mild with seasoning, theirs was mild. I had a lot of crawfish. The food was not overcooked. They shared some of the lobster with me. It was delicious and meaty. The waitresses were super kind and friendly to my toddler. He tries to befriend everyone he meets. The meal and drinks were about $200 with tip!

A cute & popular spot in Jackson Heights. Quick & Great service. Happy hour at 4pm was perfect for a nice dinner. Seafood was great. Also ordered a starter of fried oysters (not pictured).

I was really excited to try this place but found it very underwhelming. I had a takeout order of shrimp with the oceanic boil sauce and fries. The shrimp were firm and rubbery. The sauce wasn't bad but there wasnt much of it. It was also pricey for the amount of food. I think theres much better seafood out there.
