Lundy's of Brooklyn

Best New Restaurants in Brooklyn, July 2025: According to Eater Editors | Eater NY

"Lundy’s, which first opened in 1920, had been a seafood icon of Sheepshead Bay until it closed in 1979, then reopened and shuttered in 2007. Now it has been reborn in Red Hook, across from IKEA. The restaurant — under new owners — is slightly downsized, but you can still reliably walk in with a large group. The menu features items like “the Shore Dinner,” a prix fixe with a choice of seafood starter, fish, chicken, or lobster main, and pie for dessert. But you’d be just as welcome going a la carte, with shrimp cocktail and linguine with clams at a bar stool. Some recipes, like the clam chowder and the complimentary biscuit basket, are leftovers from the old days. There’s no frills here (complimentary), which is what makes it feel like it could’ve been open in this location for decades." - Emma Orlow
