Rockin' Fish

Northport is a beautiful Long Island town right on the water. Filled with local shops and this cute restaurant. Go for the muscles and mixed drinks, be sure to sit outside.

Recently moved to Northport and haved enjoyed exploring and discovering all kinds of good bar/restaurants, beach, harbor and overall "village" vibe; now I know why everyone lives here forever...:) When my "oldest" friend Ross (friends since 1969!) decided to get together catch up a bit, we discussed a few options and Rockin' Fish was the winner and it certainly was a great experience! Located in the heart of Northport Village, small place (our visit being in winter, obviously large outdoor area not available), no reservation, Friday at 5:30, parking available right outside. Offered a sweet bar-style table by the window with smiles and friendly manager. No rush attentive and friendly service by everyone. Prix-Fixe menu not only if you are attending a play up the block (we weren't) and Ross ordered off that menu. I had the Cod Fish tacos appetizer and Salmon entree. Both excellent and delicious. My usual Moscow Mule and Ross had a flight off the beer selection. The waitress Liz was great. Really nice, cool chick! Was very attentive and cared very much if we were happy with everything. Even listened to our stories lol...She gets 10 stars 🌟 ⭐️ lol. Overall, Rockin' Fish is certainly a great part of the Northport Village Sweet vibe. Go and enjoy, with family, friends or a romantic date-night. ☺️

Friday 6/20 at 6pm. Service, atmosphere, and drinks were fine. I really never write bad reviews but, The food was basically inedible. No taste and no seasoning. Steamers had no seasoning or taste. Crab cake and fried oysters were so overdone, they were terrible. Fries were the only thing we finished. Not sure what happened to this place.

My wife really enjoyed the variety of oysters offered. The hamburger was OK, but the fries were really good. I got the pork chop pizza, glad it had no crustexcept for some bread crumbs. I enjoyed the dish and the sauce on the cutlet was great. I would have loved a vegetable like green beans or spaghetti squash to go with. They could have left off the jalapeños. Food was very tasty and service was very good.

Loved the outside ambiance and the food was delish! It was Mothers Day and we were spending time the 2 of us, but I Frankly felt bad when the check came and a Cosmo was a whopping $22.00! Of course if the kid is driving mother will indulge on that special day, but I didn’t want her to feel like I was taking advantage 😂 either! She is a good kid and paid the bill and insisted I not kick in. It was $18.00 for the drink and a $4.00 up charge for a martini 😉 Was it because it was Mothers Day?

"We had a truly delightful outdoor dining experience, made even better by Christine’s impeccable service—attentive and top-notch. The food was equally impressive, with the seafood specialties standing out as particularly delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking exceptional cuisine, a great outdoor ambiance, and warm, professional service."

This is a very cute place in downtown Northport Village. This is an older building which many of them are, so the exposed brick as part of the decor is very cool. The old door at the entry foyer is definitely cool. The food is good...not unbelievable.. but good... The prices are a bit high for what the portions are and the quality of the food... The desserts were probably the best part... The red Sangria was "ok" not fabulous. The waitress Stephanie was great. Really nice, cool chick! Was very attentive and cared very much if we were happy with everything. She gets 10 stars 🌟 ⭐️ lol. The place is pretty small and also a little too bright... All in all was cute and decent.

We always have dinner at Rockin' Fish before going to the Northport Theater. The food is always excellent and served with a smile. Vanessa knows us and what we both like to eat!! I love the relaxed atmosphere and how it's decorated!! Comfortable and welcoming!! Thank you Vanessa! Claire and Dan (burger well, well, well done!)

Great service and even better food. Nice ambiance as well. The best in Northport. I love the fresh seafood.

Food is great, and the menu offers something for everyone. I love the vibe inside (very relaxed, great service, friendly waitstaff) and out on the patio during warm months, as well. I live in Northport and I'm a repeat customer. Definitely recommend.

We stopped in for happy hour beer and oysters and sat outside under some umbrellas. It was very pretty. Service took some time. The IPA was refreshing and the oysters were so clean and delicious!! We started with 12 and got 6 more after.. Worth the happy hour deal! I've had dinner here some time ago and it is always great quality!

I've been to this place many times but today was just awful. Went there for lunch and my dish was tasteless tired and very small in portion size. Honestly it felt like the food was prepared several days ago. The person I went with only ate half their lunch had a hair in their drink and became violently ill about an hour later. There are many other restaurants in Northport. This one's off the list.

The cod BLT, is greasy and the bread is old, used to be one of my favorite resturants in Northport. They lost the quality, and me.

We had a good lunch here, nothing special. Service was quick and our waitress was very nice. I got a white sangria which was just okay. I got blue point oysters which were tasty but not nearly cold enough. We split the Caesar fries app which was the best thing we had. Husband had a chicken Caesar wrap which he said was pretty good. The outdoor seating area was cute and cozy and is dog-friendly. Like I said, not a bad experience just nothing special.

Clams came in a lot of tasteless liquid. You could tell it had garlic in it but it was not good. The butter was also lacking in buttery taste. The lobster tacos were tasty but they were extremely tiny (2 inches long) and just not worth the price for what you got. We weren't thrilled with this place and will go elsewhere next time. I will add that we also had oysters on the half shell and those were delicious.

Enjoyed the most beautiful patio dinner at Rockin Fish. The weather was perfect and the food was even better! We tried several plates but the Crab Cake BLT topped them all! Our server was very kind and attentive the whole meal. The ingredients were all fresh and flavored well. It was a bit on the pricier side but not bad for Northport

Popped in randomly and got a great late lunch outside. Good beer selection, cod BLT was generous, and the tartar sauce tasted homemade. But my favorite part was the sautéed lemon oysters - oh my goodness, I'm obsessed. They were served with a little scoop of mashed potatoes. I'm definitely ordering that again! Service was relatively fast too.

My wife and I ordered dinner food from the menu and it was pricey. I ordered Fish and chip and for the price of $30 I thought I would get fresh fried battered fish. They gave me 2 pieces of small fried fish that looks like Gortons Battered Fish from frozen box and French fries and a sweet Cole slaw in a small plastic cup. It was awful. My wife had Baked Clams mainly made of bread crumbs and little bits of mince clams. She said that it was outrageous that they $25 for 5 lousy baked clams. Anyway, that was our first and last time for Rockin Fish. Can't believe they in business!!

Lazy chef. No lunch menu. Seafood not fresh. Restaurant depot food. Everything comes with carrots broccoli mashed potatoes. It's not the fifties. It's a shame- with such a nice staff and beautiful location.

First off me and my girlfriend and her friend sat down on a fine night. It was pretty empty but here and there some folks gathered round for a nice feast. We decided to sit indoors and as drink starters we got Shirley temples and I got a lemonade. The Shirley temples were good I tried my girlfriends but the lemonade was not it guys, way too sour and left me honestly really disappointed because I wanted something good to go with my wings which were my meal because them by themselves are a lot. My girlfriend and her friend both got chicken tenders which were good they said one got normal fries and my girlfriend got the truffles fries which were really nice I tried them, not my favorite side dish but she liked them a lot. I enjoyed the wings with a side of buffalo sauce and blue cheese really good overall, crispy, tasty, and savory. The chicken tenders were good but I love wings more and I enjoyed the meal. Overall pretty chill nice place in Northport town I enjoyed it and recommend it just don't get the lemonade, I'd like to come back in the future and try some of there dishes for sure! Cheers!

Most items are frozen. Service was good, food was not. It's incredibly frustrating how bad the food is in northport village. This place is good for bear and maybe the oysters, that's about it.

It's a tone-deaf menu. Apparently, the chef has never heard of climate change and definitely has no idea about what we have done to our oceans. Even the vinaigrette has eggs in it. The black bean burger isn't vegan. I had to make my own salad dressing because all of the dressings contain animal products. The salad was gross. Olives canned, tomatoes orange. I'm pretty sure I work here now after making the dressing but I haven't received a pay check yet. One vegan option. One? Nope. The staff gets 5 stars. Super friendly, Kind, and helpful. The chef? Owner? Zero stars.

Rockin Fish . The restaurant is nestled in the heart of Northport Village they have American fare and is perfect for lunch outside before a walk to the pier or for dinner. . I got the pretzel burger which is a must and the thin fries are cooked well and crunchy! They also had a pretty good beer list. . In short: - Good Food - Good Beer list - Great Location - Great for brunch - Close to the waterfront

Raw Oysters, This review was from a few months ago when they had their annual shut down the street fair with Antique cars and live music. I think it was called family fun night. I didn't hang out. Hea guys really! I've been coming here for years. I ordered half dozen Oysters $1.50 after 3:00. I sat outside what are the great side babe blood orange ambition brew that quenched my thirst. My Oysters came out on a bed of crushed ice with a slice of lemon and red sauce. Right away I noticed my oysters were smaller than the shell itself I picked it up and noticed my shell was cold but when I bit into it the Oyster it was warm with no oyster liquor. Did I just eat canned Oysters. Now I'm pissed I call my waiter and told him not to serve me this ever. He offered to redo my order. He came out with four oysters in a Moat. My shaved ice had melted. Really your to lazy to put my Oysters on a fresh bed of shaved ice. I was one of their only customers after 3:30. I have pictures of my moat. Thank God I can amuse myself.

Another great lunch at Rockinfish today. I simply don't understand the negative reviews. Service is always spot on and friendly. And every entree over the years has been exceptional. Today - the whole flounder, prepared simply with sea salt, lemon, a side of mashed and broccoli was tasty and fresh. And the Red Snapper with clams and shrimp over linguini was exceptional. The red snapper was so fresh and tasty its a must try entree. And there's always a wide choice of craft beer. At Rockinfish, you will not be disappointed. Great food, Great service, Great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating. And also, A shout out Thank you to Liz for the great service!

What happened to this place. I have been here previously and it was great. Not the case tonight. 1hr to get our apps. OK, after another 1/2 hr we checked and was told kitchen was extremely backed up and we would get our entrees in about another 20 to 30 mins. 2 hrs and no entrees. Waitress Grace was so apologetic

Very good pub food. Very dog friendly. Beautiful out door space. Staff is friendly and helpful. Lovely restaurant to sit outside and enjoy a very food meal.

Place has gppd food for the price. Restroom was clean. Drinks were good. Id come back in the future.

On Main Street is a restaurant that presents itself with that old traditional beauty of the town. The inside dining room and bar area are lined in the old brick building atmosphere of the early times of Long Island. The floors are wood floors with old traditional glass windows. There also stylish chandeliers throughout the inside dining room and bar that add to its ambience. Since we were being careful with the pandemic still being a concern, we dinned for lunch on their side outdoor patio. I noticed they had a variety of beers that included some IPA's from a neighboring microbrewery. I chose for the second time a local IPA. Since this was the second time in one week that I was having lunch at this restaurant, I decided to choose just appetizers; the tuna & fish fried tacos were my choices. The fish Tacos were delicious. The cheddar cheese, black beans, and spicy guacamole were the perfect dressing to complete the fried fish taco. The tuna roll had ahi tuna on the outside with crabmeat salad on the inside. Oh that was very good as well. Overall I very much enjoyed my dining experience and I was quite impressed with their staff which was always attentive & friendly.

I'm starving after having my hair done across the street so we sat outside and ordered mussels without chili peppers or jalapeños and chicken tacos for bf. Service is slow and it's warm out here! The mussels were tiny but the delicious marinara and garlic they were swimming in was worth 3 stars although it was very salty!! Bf's tacos were okay and they brought a side of "grilled" veggies that were really soggy and probably frozen and thawed out. I wouldn't recommend or repeat

The food was disappointing. I had Cod fish fry with French Fries. The Cod Fish tasted like it was frozen. The Fries were also for sure frozen. The rolls were not fresh. I do have to say the salad and salad dressing was good. Our server was very polite and professional. The ambiance is OK, nothing special.

I'm going to go with a 3.5 here because of its charm. Wait staff was a little bit odd? But maybe that's because we're not regulars... who knows. We got: Mango White Claw: me Bud Light: him Baked Clams: split and huge. These were the biggest baked clams we've ever had. Oh my. Classic Caesar Salad: me. Pretty good. Wish it was a little chopped as some pieces of lettuce were big. Tuna Roll: me. Solid and just the perfect amount of food for me. Skirt Steak Sandwich: him. Said it was pretty good not superb but good. What we did love was how we were outside and we felt like we were in our own little area in a quiet little bistro. Outdoor seating is a solid romantic spot. Will we be back? Maybe?

I really don't give 5 stars often. In general "it's if you don't have something nice to say..". But the food, the service and the casual but professional atmosphere just deserves 5 stars. A cozy place where you won't have regrets.

Please don't eat here. The fish is frozen which means they don't go to the fish market every day - go figure. Second, the crabmeat was the imitation kind - yikes. Fish tacos were drenched in a sweet chili oil. Service was ok. It's just a bummer as when I spend money on a restaurant, it's not like I go out all the time.

Had a great late lunch here with drinks, truffle fries, oysters, and some cool mini-tacos. It was cooler so we ate indoors and my girlfriend and I got a Prosecco and a nice huckleberry spritzer from an Idaho winery named Ste Chapelle. We had the Parmesan broiled oysters (really good!), truffle fries with basil aioli, and mini lobster tacos. The lobster tacos were a little too small in my opinion and the Thai chili sauce was a little too overpowering, or at least there was too much sauce on them. Truffle fries were our favorite!

My gf and I came here for a double date with friends after hearing about the oyster happy hour (not for me, for them). Everything we got was very enjoyable. I got the Rockin' Fish Salad, which I ate every bite. We all shared the truffle fries and they were mouthwatering. My gf got the cheeseburger, which looked, smelled and tasted amazing. For a drink, I highly recommend the margarita made with agave wine. It was really good. Our waitress could have been a little friendlier. Would def come back!

Truly memorable! Seafood was so fresh and delicious, but what we will always remember was the owner sharing the secret of the mermaid with my 5 year old nephew. The entire staff created a magical experience for him..for all of us. Thank you!

The best linguine and white clam sauce...my sister was surprised I ate the whole thing! I never (NEVER) finish my whole dinner!

I am starting to understand the lower ratings. First off I want to say the food is good, the staff has always been friendly, I love the outdoor area! But the serving size for a glass of wine is always smaller than other restaurants in the area for the same price. Today's wedge salad...well look at the picture. A wedge of lettuce, yes with a few prices of bacon and tomato. I guess you make the salad yourself? There was blue cheese in a cup but it wasn't blue cheese dressing, the lettuce was crisp & fresh & the bacon was cooked just how I like it crispy, but it was a bit disappointing.

Food was good. We sat at the bar. Place is located on the corner so has views of streets. Bartenders were awesome and super friendly. Great drinks and very knowledgeable. Will be going back

If you want to indulge yourself in an evening of unpretentious, non-egotistical, and diametrical millennial ladder climbing dining, Rockin Fish continues to set the bar for simply a great night out. Even on a very crowded Thursday night, service was spot-on, and the food was perfectly consistent and fell well within our wheelhouse. The ambience screams coziness. With all the new, highfalutin restaurants opening in the area, there's a simplicity about this place that has made it our go-to spot since it opened. And, we're legitimate foodies who have a number of Michelin Star experiences under our belts. Regardless of all comparisons, and on its own, Rockin Fish continues to withstand the test of time. Can't wait to go back.

I stopped in for lunch to celebrate my birthday and I'm glad I did. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. I order the blue point oysters on the half shell n the oyster po boy. The oysters were so fresh n tasty. I loved the sake that they serve with them as well as horseradish n cocktail sauce. I first I was like what but it was amazing with the other condiments. The po'boy was delicious, perfectly fried oysters. Lightly coated tartar sauce with lettuce, tomato, bacon and cheddar cheese on a fresh roll. It was so good, can't wait to go back. Was able to be seated outside which was great since it was such a beautiful day. If you go I highly recommend the Bloody Mary it was dynamite with just the right amount of kick to it!

Best when the weather is nice for outdoor seating. Interesting menu choices and good service are the hallmarks here. Food is well executed. As weather becomes cooler inside dining is good if you don't mind a pub setting. Good choice if you're going to a show at the local theatre.

The outdoor seating is lovely and it's dog friendly! The oysters are awesome ! The fried calamari is delish ours and fresh!

I didn't eat in but I did take out. There is outside seating and inside is nicely decorated. So I ordered the classic burger and it was literally the best burger I've had in a very long time. Moist and delicious, cooked to perfection. I was so stuffed but had to keep eating it of course. I will definitely be back. The staff was very nice and accommodating.

We were in downtown Northport, Long Island to eat a delicious lunch in a lovely alfresco setting in a hipster place. The interior of this Gastropub is a relic brick edifice that had to be over 150 yrs old. We said hi to our server, Melissa, a very warm & funny individual. We gave her our order and were promptly served our drinks. There is a nice- size bar if you prefer that. We looked at the Beer & Wine list and chose the former. Craft drafts $7 a pint. Plebe Beer $6. Also wine by the glass $10-12. I ordered the mini lobster tacos and they were very mini yet scrumptious. We also ordered salad, pulled pork sandwich and a 10 oz burger. All great. They also have a large variety of chilled seafood. For dessert we had fried Oreos with ice and whipped cream. Mmmmm Parking is metered and you need a supply of quarters in these old fashion meters.

So happy to have been able to celebrate my friends birthday at this wonderful place. A table for two and a menu filled with just the right amount of choices. We started with the mimosa flight -- refreshing choice of mango, pear, passion fruit and orange. Shared a plate of lobster tacos and the bruschetta with brie, jam, and strawberries. Delightful. We also enjoyed the Patrami Ruben sandwich with french fries. Definitely looking forward to going back because the other appetizers and entrees are worth trying.

We ordered fish and chips what a disappointment!! The fish was pre- battered and frozen. Not freshly prepared. How difficult would it be for Fish restaurant to use fresh fish & dipped in batter to order?

Came here 2x within the week because I think it has great potential to do well. The food is good...the reason for the 3 stars is for the prolonged service. Each time I came, the service was slow. It wasn't the servers...it's the lack of servers. I came with the family over a weekend and got there as soon as the Oyster Happy Hour started. Yes...Oyster. Happy. Hour! Each was $1 - Hence, the name "Buck-a-shuck Oyster Happy hour". It's awesome. Can't go wrong with that...ended up getting 2 orders of that! Our orders: - linguini & clam sauce - whole neck clams sauteed in white clam sauce. - fish & chips - golden fried cod served with fries & cole slaw. - bay scallops fra diavlo - sweet bag scallops tossed in a spicy fra diavlo sauce with linguini - pan seared black sea bass - with shrimp garnish, sautéed spinach and ginger garlic glaze. - 2 orders of the buck-a-shuck - Montauk Day boat Yellow fin tuna - served rare over garden fresh salad - flight of mimosas - guava, mango, passion fruit and i think strawberry Everything was delicious. If we didn't get the oysters, we would have been really hungry. It took a little while for the orders to come out....including the oysters. Using the restrooms here is torture during the summer! I went when it was super humid...it almost made me want to hold it. I do recommend this place, but they can and should get more servers. The wait can be ridiculous.

Not bad! We came here after every other place on Main Street had at least a two hour wait. The wait here was only 35 minutes so we figured grab a drink at the tap room and come back. Our table was ready roughly 40 minutes later with a table right in front, on the sidewalk, which made for great people watching on the first nice night of the season. Beer selection is pretty solid and they have Coney Island hard root beer so I was happy. I had one of the specials for the evening, the Greek style turkey meatballs with Greek salad and warm pita bread. The meatballs were great but very very filling. The salad was my favorite part of the meal, next time I might just get that because on its own it was delicious. The pita was nice and a bit charred. My boyfriend had the eggplant lasagna and could barely finish it. Overall a very good and filling meal. We'll definitely come here again.

The Oysters are awesome our favorite place for oysters and their oyster happy hour is the best deal around. Bartender is super nice they have really good beer selection she remembers us even if we haven't been there a few months. Just live coming back to this place

One of my favorite things to do is take a day trip to Northport walk around, enjoy the beautiful scenery and of course visit Rockin Fish for some drinks and delicious oysters. It's the perfect spot for an intimate date or a fun day with friends! Food: I've only ever ordered their oysters and they're always top notch! They are served with horseradish, a mignonette sauce and a cocktail sauce. I love the sticks they are served with as it makes it easy to maneuver the sauces to get each oyster tasting just right! Drinks: They serve beer, wine and wine based cocktails. When we visited yesterday, my husband ordered the sand city beer they offered and it was delicious! I tried out their wine based margarita flight and loved it! Each margarita tasting was different and exciting. It was a fun way to drink while savoring the oysters we ordered. My husband enjoyed tasting each of my margaritas a little too much for my liking I think that just means we'll have to each get our own flight next time! Service: They operate on a first come first serve basis so if you come on a busy day such as the weekend make sure to come here first to add your name as it is likely you'll be placed on a wait list which gives you some time to walk around beautiful Northport! We did just that yesterday as it was prime time happy hour and very busy. We were seated right away once called and our server was helpful and attentive. Lasting impression: I absolutely love this place- it is so pretty offering indoor and outdoor seating. It's so nice to see how many people bring their dogs as well! I can't wait for my next visit if you are ever in the area make sure to try it out!!

Good service, friendly and funny staff, good energetic vibe. Looks like a fun little bar scene, albeit crowded, but as a non-drinker I don't have a strong opinion beyond that. The food - it's fine. Basically, exactly what you'd expect in the middle of Northport on Main Street. If someone said meet me at Rockfish, I'd be 100% okay with it. Nothing compelling enough on the menu that we tried that will have us rushing back though. I had some sort of veggie burger, again fine. But it did taste like it was prepared by someone who has never had one. Don't mean to sound down on the place, it's just a mega convenient and lively location more than a menu.

It was one of the first seasonable days, so we decided to head to Northport Village. After shopping, we stepped in here. The outside looked friendly and inviting. The inside is quite unimpressive. Bordering on dingy. There was a sign that stated patio seating was available, as it was a beautiful day. We asked to sit outside and the rude waitress told us you can but there's a really long wait. We opted to sit indoors. We waited for about 10 minutes, and finally a chilled glass bottle of tap water was served. Menus were delivered at this time as well. That just took way too long for the basics. The waitress returned a few minutes later and when I asked her for a drink menu/wine list, she pulled a small trifolded piece of regular white paper and threw it in my direction. No thank you. She returned 10 minutes later and got us a bottled beer and an extremely small glass of wine ... served in the incorrect glass. The menu is small, unappetizing and ridiculous. Everything is loaded or covered in condiments or supposedly fancy delicacies. The cheeseburger which my companion and I considered was $18. We would not have gotten the works ... just plain. The price was not justified. I requested another beer, and after approximately 8 minutes it was served ...without a new chilled glass. That was the last straw. When we requested our check, the waitress apologized that she was alone and that's why service was slow. No ... she was rude, service was poor and there was another nice waitress working. They clean the tables with apple cider vinegar, which is strong and unpleasant with a strong breeze. The tables are small and close together. Plates are carried right over other patrons heads. Not good. Parking can be difficult, even with the large lots by the harbor. I will not return.

Shout out to Vanessa and crew!!! Always service with a smile! Oysters, clams ( hit em at HH 4-6pm $1ea ) fish taco's, chicken wings and their killer Ruben chased with a dz or more craft local beers! (" BEER IS Good!") are among my fav when I stop by.

BEST and i mean best stuffed clams I have had maybe ever! This has to beat Spiros! Service was not the nicest, maybe just a waitress having a bad day, but overall the seating was quick, clean and lively fun rock n roll music! Loved listening to something other than modern pop!

I want to start off by highlighting how great the entire staff was. Everybody was super friendly and accommodating from the waiters, hostesses and bussers. They have outdoor seating with umbrellas which is very nice. We had the truffle fries as an appetizer and enjoyed them, they came with an aioli to dip. For my meal I had the crab cake BLT with a side salad. The salad was very fresh, a good size and good dressing. The crab cake itself was a bit on the mushier side than I personally prefer but had nice flavor. It had melted cheese, lettuce and tomato on it, it was supposed to have bacon but they must have forgotten to put it on (no big deal). They had a very extensive menu and I definitely would like to return to try more options.
