Bayside Clam & Grill

Friendly is the one word that describes this place. You feel welcomed and that's not always the case these days, not here though, the staff goes out of its way to see you are being taking care of. This is a casual local place specializing in seafood and the menus give you many options. I just wish there were more non-fried choices. Still though the relaxed atmosphere, closeness to water, live bands, and most of all Friendly staff will keep bringing us back for sure! Check out the clams on the half shell, fried calamari, and Hawaiian Scallops (coconut crusted) entree, all excellent! And so much more to try...Oh the Blue Point blueberry beer was very refreshing, as is their own "Bayside" draft too!

I visited this place for the first time mid-day on a Friday accompanied by my wife and my 11 year old son and I have to tell you the service was excellent, the manager is very friendly, The waitresses were prompt and really nice, the food is tasty and delicious, The drinks are good but personally I'm not a big fan of plastic cup and cutlery, the view from the deck and grass area are magnificent. I definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again.

My husband and I just went here for lunch and it was so good. The view was amazing and so was the food. My husband got the crabby patty and I got the Pina colada coconut shrimp. Very tasty and very generous portions. Definitely recommend.

This place is a gem. Unbelievable views. Food is pretty good as well. We had a family gathering. Staff was very attentive. Live music was good as well.

We came here for my birthday. Food and atmosphere was really nice . I also loved all the deer hanging around the place . Recommend and I would definitely come back.

We had a great time sitting outside, listening to live music, enjoying great food and drinks. I had the blackened mahi, which was delicious. It is laid back, with a great vibe and people dancing to the music, hanging out on the lawn. Great time was had by all! Check it out and have a blast!

Last night we went to a wonderful restaurant/Bar and music on the shore of south Sayville. The band played 70/80 music with two great singers. All was performed at the crowded outside open air Bar. There were about 200/250 people all eating and drinking while a great band played all night long! Dancing on the lawn and even pets are allowed... what a great place to enjoy with family and friends! They even have games for children to play at as their parent danced the night away.

I'm thrilled to give Bayside Clam Bar and Grille a five-star review! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. The waterfront view added an extra touch of charm to the dining experience. The menu is a seafood lover's dream, with a wide variety of fresh catches and delectable options.

For the main course, I opted for the lobster roll, and it exceeded all expectations. The succulent lobster meat was generously portioned and nestled in a perfectly toasted roll.

The service was impeccable, with the servers being attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The overall dining experience was delightful, and I can't wait to return to Bayside Clam Bar and Grille for another memorable meal by the waterfront. If you're in Islip, NY, this restaurant is a must-visit for exceptional seafood and a wonderful dining ambiance.

We were camping across the inlet at Heckscher State Park and looking for a waterside restaurant for dinner. What an awesome choice to come here! Live music, friendly staff and delicious food! Oh, and a nice view of the marina and the bay. 👍

It is a good place to eat simple brunch in a place with a good ocean view.

One of my favorites. The wings are great, great service.

Stopped in for a quick lunch - beautiful day, nice harbor scenery, great baked clams!

Checked this place out recently on a Thursday night (decided to avoid the weekend crowds which was a good choice). Waited only 15 minutes for a table and while we waited, enjoyed the view of the marina. The waitresses were all running around and working hard to make sure everyone was served, as the place was fairly busy. The drinks and food were delicious! It was so nice to have a place with a view of the water where both my husband (a meat/seafood eater) and I (not) could enjoy a meal. He is a tough critic and gave he lobster roll a rave review. I’m very excited to go back again!

This island continues to amaze me. You would never know this place was down this little street. Located at the marina again unseen from any major road. People fishing for and catching snapper off the docks. I found it on yelp and marked it as a place to try. Well, I just tried it. Holy sh#t. It's off season so there working with a limited menu. I got the pinapple teriyaki tuna. Cooked perfectly. Comes with crispy spinach, I spoke to the chef, it's just deep fried after being steamed but it gives it a salty, sea weedy taste that compliments the tuna perfectly. Then throw in the wasaby mashed potatoes and the dish is off the hook, excuse the pun. Lots of specials during the season that I missed this year. Won't make the same mistake next year. There season ends labor day but they stay open untill November with this limited menu. Still plenty to choose from.

What a beautiful spot.
Staff is awesome!
Bands are great.
Local gift, enjoy

What an amazing place! Stopped in last night, just to check it out and had the absolute best time. EVERYTHING was extremely fresh, the service was 5 star, and every single person in there was friendly. We ended up having dinner and hanging out and had so much fun. We absolutely can’t wait to go back. Highly, highly recommend. Family friendly too. Love this place!

The owners are out to give clientele the best food and atmosphere on the bay in the east islip marina amazing views and food what more can you ask for . Love it

Great food great people great entertainment.
You will love this place . I promise you that much. Trust me 🙏. Hands down number 1 on the. Bay.

Went for dinner and drinks this evening. Drinks were strong and appealing. Dinner was fabulous. I am on a strict diet because I have diverticulitis and must be careful with what I eat. I had the lobster special and it was spectacular. I will be back. Staff was kind and attentive. Music an added treat. Had a relaxing evening after a hard working day.

I love eating at the beach. Call it dine in but we were on the deck toward the beach. Band was playing Sunday afternoon . Good Pub food. Good drinks. Delightful.
