Paul's Daughter

I have gone to Paul's Daughter several times to get food and drinks while walking on the boardwalk. The service is fast, and the food is pretty decent as far as boardwalk food goes. The prices are on the expensive side, but that would be expected in this area. I recently got the Lobster Roll, and it was quite minuscule for what I was paying at $24, but it had a good taste and was juicy. They have several tables for outdoor seating, but not enough for large crowds. They also have a small bar area as well. Overall, I have never had a bad experience here, so I would recommend anyone visiting to check this place out.

TLDR: Essential Coney Island food! Come for the raw cherry stone clams.

Vibe: 4/5. Situated right on the Coney Island boardwalk, Paul's Daughter is a ginormous walk up food stand serving up seafood and beach food favorites. Even though this is a predominately walk up style restaurant, they do offer a few tables and chairs for patrons to sit and enjoy their food. The counter layout is pretty straight forward, with several registers where you can order the menu. With that being said, there is only 1 place on the far right where you can order the raw clams (near the shucking station).

Service: 4/5. The staff at Paul's was friendly, quick and efficient during our 4th July visit. We were able to belly up to the raw bar counter and order the entire menu, with our food coming out shortly after. At peak hours, lines can get a little hectic with not always the best sense of organization, but that can be said with any walk up restaurant on the boardwalk.

Food: 5/5. Serving up all of your favorite beach foods, Paul's Daughter goes a great job in execution. On our lunch visit, we ordered a few corn dogs, clam strips, fries, calamari and the the raw cherry stone clams on the half shell. As to be expected, the fried foods were tasty and enjoyed by all. Perfectly friend and with generous portions. The highlight of the meal were the raw cherry stone clams. Shucked fresh to order, the clams were ginormous in size and offered a great eating experience. The clams were firm and steak like in texture but with a sweet and salty taste that some may say is more palatable than raw oysters. At $19 a dozen, not a terrible value when considering the touristy location. Overall, if you find yourself craving some quick seafood bites on the boardwalk, you can't go wrong with Paul's!

In my opinion, their lobster rolls are the best in the city, and possibly even in the world.

The rolls are packed with succulent, juicy lobster meat, which is cooked to perfection and served with just the right amount of seasoning, so as not to overpower the delicate flavor of the lobster. The rolls are served on a soft, buttery bun, which complements the lobster perfectly, creating a taste sensation that is simply out of this world.

People are friendly, view is gorgeous, prices are accommodating. Must visit!!
