Jordan Lobster Farms in Island Park is one of those iconic Long Island seafood spots where freshness isn’t a marketing line—it’s the entire identity. Known for its straight-from-the-tank lobster, buttery sides, and relaxed coastal vibe, this local institution delivers the kind of meal that keeps both seafood purists and casual diners coming back.

Food & Drinks
The star of the menu is, of course, the lobster. Whether you order it steamed, broiled, or stuffed, expect tender, sweet meat that tastes like it came off the boat minutes ago. The lobster roll is a must-try—packed with generous chunks of claw and tail, lightly dressed, and served on a perfectly toasted bun. Pair it with the crispy fries or creamy coleslaw for the full experience.

If you’re not in a lobster mood, the fried seafood platters are excellent. The fried clam strips and jumbo shrimp are golden, crunchy, and never greasy. The raw bar—featuring oysters, littlenecks, and shrimp cocktail—offers ultra-fresh options that make great starters. For something heartier, the baked stuffed shrimp and seafood bisque are crowd favorites.

The drinks menu is simple but refreshing. Expect cold beers, summer-friendly cocktails, and easy-drinking wines that pair well with seafood. Nothing fancy—just exactly what you want with a lobster dinner.

Ambiance
Jordan Lobster Farms blends old-school charm with seaside casual. The market-style setup, nautical touches, and outdoor seating give it a laid-back, beach-town feel. On warm days, the patio overlooking the water is the perfect spot to crack into a lobster.

Families, couples, and groups all fit comfortably here, and despite its popularity, the atmosphere stays friendly and unpretentious.
