Lolo’s Seafood Shack is well-known in New York City as a culinary oasis of island and coastal flavors. Their unique blend of New England–style comfort food and Caribbean cuisine has garnered the Harlem restaurant recognition as a New York Times critical favorite. And this year, they’re honored to have been voted among the best seafood shacks in New York City by Zagat®!

The Zagat review draws attention to the quality of the restaurant’s Caribbean food, which includes street eats such as conch fritters and sweet plantains. But they have more than just Caribbean offerings; they also serve up classic Cape Cod seafood favorites like shrimp and snow crab steampots that feature unique sauces. An array of veggie side dishes, such as Johnny cakes with honey butter and Lolo’s fries with cotija cheese, pickled jalapenos, and herbs, provide a great option for vegetarians. Rounding out the expansive menu are sandwiches, baskets, and even lunch specials.

Lolo’s Seafood Shack has also opened their new outdoor beach bar, where you can sit back and feel as though you’re on an island vacation. Sip an ice-cold beer, enjoy a glass of wine, or splurge on a carafe of Lolo’s rum punch. A daily happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. features $5 drinks, which earns the restaurant the title of “Harlem’s Happiest Hour.”

Lolo’s Seafood Shack is a must-try culinary experience for anyone living in or visiting New York City’s Harlem neighborhood. With a creative seafood menu developed by Chef Raymond Mohan and a restaurant concept designed by Leticia Young, an experienced hospitality professional, it’s no wonder the restaurant stands out in the highly competitive culinary mecca of New York City.
