Quaint seaside views of Port Washington from this Seafood “shack”. Casual dining and reasonably priced menu. Beers and sodas are plenty. Desserts are few, just two options. Come for the seafood and to enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating. Order first then you get seated by a staff member. Table sharing is possible if they are very busy. Must try the NE Clam Chowder, Lobster Roll, and Baked Sea Scallops platter, served with farro and vegetables.

Went there with a party of 8 on a late Saturday afternoon and the staff were very kind to us. They managed to seat us within a couple of minutes right by the water which was amazing. The food there was really good too, it is pricey but the atmosphere around you makes it worth it. I highly recommend the fried scallops platter, they’re crispy on the outside and the inside melts in your mouth like butter. The fried clams and the clam chowder were great as well. The shrimp tacos are a nice simple snack to get and a safe option for anyone who’s maybe not into seafood. I would say that the lobster rolls maybe needed a bit of seasoning on it or a sauce on it but the lobster itself is quality. I would definitely come here again, it’s a great place to bring your friends and family!

Nice local place for a lobster roll , clam chowder or some fried shrimp. This place is very organized with seating ( order first ) and the lines goes pretty fast. Burger was a little well but your not coming here for a burger. Lobster roll and the view period…

Was in the neighborhood and figured since I was near the shore to have lunch at a place with ambience. Butler’s Flat Clam Shack was ambience along with good food. Fortunately, there wasn’t too long of a line when I got there though ordering took a bit long as there is just one person at the window taking orders. Upon initial inspection, the lobster roll looked really small for the price but it was absolutely delicious and actually pretty filling. My kids got grilled cheese and the kids burger which they were fine with. The clam chowder was good, nothing to write home about yet we finished it. Nothing beats eating fresh seafood with a water view and the staff were all kind and attentive. I saw one asking a couple of women who had finished their lunch and were just chatting to politely let someone else have the table which made sense since there were people literally standing around with trays of food and nowhere to sit. This tells you how good the food is. I will definitely be back to try something else from the menu.

This was a great little place on the Manhasset Bay. Had the lobster roll that had a great buttery bun. My friends had burgers and clam chowder, and everyone enjoyed it.

Average seafood shack… good amount of variety. They do have ipswich clams though which is my fav but had better. Long lines on weekends, nice place to dine outdoors. Self-Serve.

Great food – lobster rolls, crab rolls, some other fish and seafood dishes, burgers, tasty fries. Eat in the outdoor setting overlooking the docked boats. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Friendly service, excellent lobster roll and the fries are also low-key fantastic. The tacos needed a bit more zing to them but were nicely fried. The chowder wasn’t quite up to new england levels and was probably a miss on a sweltering day, but was otherwise fine. We arrived just before a huge line formed which was nice but I think they’d benefit from having more tables with umbrellas to shield from the sun.

Nice location and view. Service good. Very crowded on Sunday afternoon. Nice young lady kept an eye out and lead us to a free table. Chicken sandwich just ok. Lobster roll very good, but for $28, you would think they would give special mayo, pickle and Cole slaw. Nothing special and Somewhat disappointing.
