Reviews
The crab legs were piled high on multiple plates, bright red and fresh, served with lemon wedges and warm melted butter right in the center so everyone could dig in. The portions were very generous and the crab was tender and flavorful. There were also big platters of mussels and clams mixed with herbs and sauce, along with pieces of lobster tucked throughout, which made every plate feel loaded and satisfying.
The paella was great and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The rice was fluffy and full of flavor, topped with shrimp, mussels, and herbs, and it felt rich, warm, and comforting. Another standout dish was the seafood covered in a bold red sauce. The crab and shellfish were coated generously, making every bite full of flavor.
There was also a mixed fried platter with crispy calamari, fish, and crab legs, served with dipping sauces and lemon. It added a nice crunch to balance out all the saucy dishes. Everything was served family style with serving spoons, which made the meal feel like a celebration rather than just a regular dinner.
Overall, Joes Crab Box delivers on flavor, freshness, and portion size. The food felt fresh, abundant, and perfect for sharing with friends or family. If you are looking for a place that gives you a true seafood feast and a fun dining experience, this spot is definitely worth it.

The atmosphere of the place is happy and joyful, the service was great. Thanks to Jeff for the awesome service!
Prices were a little high but the portions were decent. We were seated quickly and the food came out within the expected time frame.
Monstrous Drink was definitely worth it though.
Traveled a little ways and was expecting more.
Jan 15, 2025:Went to celebrate my birthday and was disappointed with the food. The service was not the greatest. I have been going to city island and to Sammy’s for over 50 + years. I always have had my waiters for over 20 + yrs. On this day my waiter was not in. I ordered mussels and half was empty but they gave me another one. We had tilapia fish and it was very small the last time it was a bigger piece. I also had chicken with linguine, and the chicken breast was burnt as well as the wing. I also ordered chicken and shrimp Parmesan with linguine to go. When at home to eat the shrimp was over cooked and no taste. To conclude the quality of the food has gone down and service. I do know many of the owners in many of the restaurants in city island too. I have always rated Sammy’s with 4/5 stars, for their food and service. I guess my waiters were not there on this day and it changed my rating based on the food and service. I have for years celebrated my birthday but this day was the worse. Note: first 2 pictures.
