Menu is huge and food is great and great prices. Best New England clam chowder I’ve ever had that wasn’t in New England. Only downside was the whole place smells like bathroom cleaning products or something. Kind of like a strong disinfectant smell like in a public rest room or something. If they aired it out I would give 5 stars
Great Seafood on the Cheap. Looking for a fancy high-brow seafood restaurant? Look elsewhere, this is a blue-collar joint. The seafood is as fresh as it gets and is cooked very well, but not so fancy. If you were to visit relatives in Texas and asked them to take you to a local steakhouse that is short on ambiance but long on steak...well consider this the seafood version that you would take those same Texas relatives to.

Popei’s was the chosen spot to have a celebratory birthday dinner. The restaurant has two entirely different personalities: A lively and popular bar, and a quiet area with tables and booths. There’s an overflow seating area directly behind the bar. The large barn doors do a great job of keeping the bar atmosphere from drowning out the other seating areas.
Our waiter promptly greeted us and brought glasses of water for everyone at the table without us having to ask. We ordered the Thai chili calamari and had the option of having the sauce “tossed” on the calamari on the side. We chose to have it tossed but next time would get it on the side since the calamari loses its crispness from marinating in the sauce while at the table.
I ordered a penne dish with shrimp in vodka sauce and substituted linguine for the penne. The dish was served in a huge bowl that one of my dining companions could be used a bicycle helmet. The sauce and pasta were great. The one downside was the extremely bland shrimp. In addition to being bland, they ended up overcooking in the bowl. I would actually get this dish again but would ask for the shrimp to be blackened and would move to the surface of the bowl to hopefully stave off additional cooking.
One of my companions also ordered a shrimp dish and theirs was equally bland, but the ricotta sauce was great. The dish also contained crab, but it’s finely shredded, so if you’re looking for juicy, tender chunks of crab, this isn’t the dish for you.
The Ultimate Chicken Parm received rave reviews. The breading was done well and all of the flavors blended nicely.
Speaking of bread, guests receive complimentary garlic bread and it’s warm and tasty. Try not to eat too much if you’re planning on finishing your meal because the portions are Cheesecake Factory sized.
This is just my opinion but it would be nice if Popei’s offered lighter portions of their entrees (2/3rds the size) but includes a side salad for the same price as a regular entree.
The birthday person received a complimentary slice of cheesecake complete with candle and a Happy Birthday serenade by our waiter and another employee.
It wasn’t the best experience, but we’ve eaten here a few times and are pleased with the overall food quality, so we will eat here again.
Great seafood restaurant. Been here 3 times already. Had the linguine and clams in white sauce tons of clam meat with a bit of linguine. Love it! Had the stuffed lobster tails most recently: delicious but the risotto was heavy on the cream. Heavy for my taste but still delicious.
My wife and I were off from work and enjoying our spring break. The children were back in school after returning from their recent spring break. We wanted to go on a date to eat at a restaurant and to break away from the traditional chain franchise seafood restaurant. We found Popei's seafood. This restaurant is cozy and warm and very huge indoors with ample parking and a reserve wheelchair-accessible parking also available was a wheelchair-accessible entrance. There is a bar traditional setting with big-screen televisions and a mixologist. This restaurant broke away from the traditional greeter. You can pick your seats and tables. The young attendant was pleasant and courteous and checked in on us frequently. The meal was great and the restroom was clean
We went for a birthday dinner. We had a party of nine. The service was great. Our food came out at basically the same time. Everything was hot and tasty. Nice clean dining area. I also had a delicious cocktail called the Honeymoon, very good.
The food was really good and the service excellent. Villy and Danis were friendly and professional. We had the lobster tail and the swiss mushroom burger. Both were very delicious. The decor was beautiful designed I was told by one of the servers.
The best sea bass i have ever had hands down. Served with a lemon butter sauce with artichokes, spinach & tomatoes over angle hair pasta. And can't go without the overstuffed clams! Food never fails here! And the bartenders (especially Mike) are great.
I went to Popei's clam bar last Saturday
Loved the place. Stuffed mushrooms are insanely good!
The price is fair, portions are generous. Our server was a really great guy. Fun, good sense of humor and spot on service and order accuracy.
Looking forward to going back this weekend
Give them a try
Drinks were really good and consistent, food was delicious . Every plate was beautifully displayed. The service was on point and more than helpful with every request.
The seafood is top notch and fresh. Lots of options to select from. This is one of 3 locations, and I have tried 2. Both have knocked it out of the park. Have been coming here weekly.
I've been to Popei's restaurant and the food, service and atmosphere was Great!! But, today I ordered online and unfortunately, my experience was much much different; the scallops were severely under cooked and I had to put them in the oven. However, the scallops still weren't very good!!! The potato and salad were fine tho except there wasn't enough salad dressing!! I was/am very disappointed!!!
Excellent seafood restaurant near the outlets. The portions are huge
This is the first time at this location in Deer Park. The service was great and our waitress was very helpful. She even surprised us both with cheesecake for our birthdays. Portions are really good. I got the lobster and seafood fra Diablo there was so much I had enough to take home and feed two if us the next day. Great seafood and great apps.
Overall food was very good, well prepared and fresh! Service was amazing, atmosphere was very nice as well. Will definitely be returning when I’m in the area!

We had a reservation for 5. We were seated immediately upon arrival. We were greeted within minutes. The waiter was helpful. We placed an appetizer order of fried calamari, clams casino and godfather clams (they were no longer on the menu but the chef made them anyway.) The calamari was tender, the breading was crispy and although it's fried it wasn't greasy. The 5 entrees ordered were Seafood Sensation, Cold water lobster tail, Broiled Jumbo stuffed shrimp, Stuffed Eggplant and Lobster Salad platter. All the portions were very generous and required 4 doggy bags. Four of the entrees were very good. Although, the lobster salad had too much celery, it had a very generous amount of lobster. The stuffed lobster tail was over cooked. The waiter was made aware he went to the kitchen and came back offering another lobster tail or another entree. They had already eaten the sides and didn't want to try the tail again, so they ordered baked clams which were absolutely delicious. We shared a piece of cake with a banana filling with a Maple Butter cream. It was delicious, large enough for 3 of us to split. The service was exceptional. When we received the check, they had removed the lobster tail entree. The only reason for 4 stars was the lobster tail. We will be back again.
We had an amazing time!! No wait time beautiful aesthetics instagram worthy 110%! Service was great. I was little hesitant so happy to have decided to make it! Drinks and food were on point! We did not have time for photos the entire family enjoyed!
Great food and service and it wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be on Mother's Day. Be aware that many of the seafood entrees are MP. Although my favorite entree is more expensive I can still get 2 meals oug of it.
This was our first visit to Popei’s Clam Bar. The saying goes: your first impression is a lasting one😄It was great, because of our server (Gio) who was humble, very nice, very professional❤️(my hubby had king crab legs, yellow rice and veggies) I had lobster tail, baked clam,Greek salad, yellow rice)Our starter was the Mac& cheese bacon, lobster and crab meat) made fresh. Everything was delicious 👍The atmosphere was nice, the music was nice, and the price was right👏TY, God Bless you and your business🙏I will be back!
Husband and I usually do Uber Eats delivery from the restaurant. Food always arrives hot and fresh exactly as we order it. Everything tastes absolutely delicious.
