Morningside Cafe — Restaurant in New York

My two sisters and I went this past Sunday to celebrate one of my sister’s birthdays, and let me just say — Crabman Mike did not disappoint! From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely incredible.

The food was out of this world. Everything from the blue crabs to the snow crab legs was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The fresh, plump, juicy corn was sweet and buttery — the kind that makes you close your eyes with the first bite. The clams tasted like they were just caught fresh from the sea that morning and brought straight to our table. Every bite was a reminder of why we love coming here!

The beer and spritz selection is another win — Crabman Mike carries beers you don’t usually see anywhere else, and his variety is top-notch. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth like us, don’t skip the yummy ice cream to top off the night — the perfect finish to an amazing meal.

The atmosphere is always awesome. Crabman Mike manages to attract the best crowd — from friendly neighbors to visitors from all over the world. Every time we’ve gone, we’ve met someone interesting, which makes the experience even more fun.

And of course, we have to mention Crabman Mike himself — he’s so engaging, attentive, and full of great energy. He doesn’t miss a detail — from making sure your condiments are ready to ensuring every guest is having the best time. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does, and it shows in every part of the experience.

Whether you’re local or visiting, Morningside Café with Crabman Mike is a must-visit. Amazing food, great people, and an atmosphere you’ll want to come back to...

For bad service I received soft , mushy , over cooked soaked in water or whatever blue crabs “maybe old”’ I was very unhappy and would have like for the issue to be rectified other that going back in fourth with someone who spent over 50 dollars for bs !!!! Please do not go here , this owner is very insensitive to customers feelings and not very understanding!!! Bad bad bad business I would never recommend!! Anything in a shell should...

I’ve been eating Crabman Mike’s food from its inception on 125th street in Harlem and I’m so excited to see him bring his amazing food to a brick and mortar in Morningside Park! All these years later the food and flavor do not disappoint and are even better than what I remembered! Whether you are in the neighborhood or traveling in to experience the Cajun flavors…the food is well worth it and the service was great! He’s brought a gem to the neighborhood that’s worth exploring! I had the blue crabs and peel and eat shrimp with corn on the cob and potatoes. It was delicious down to the last bite! Can’t wait to...
