Butler's Flat Clam Shack - Seafood restaurant in Port Washington - 86 Orchard Beach Blvd, USA

Quaint seaside views of Port Washington from this Seafood "shack". Casual dining and reasonably priced menu. Beers and sodas are plenty. Desserts are few, just two options. Come for the seafood and to enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating. Order first then you get seated by a staff member. Table sharing is possible if they are very busy. Must try the NE Clam Chowder, Lobster Roll, and Baked Sea Scallops platter, served with farro and vegetables.

Nice local place for a lobster roll , clam chowder or some fried shrimp. This place is very organized with seating ( order first ) and the lines goes pretty fast. Burger was a little well but your not coming here for a burger. Lobster roll and the view period…

Updated review: If you go after rush hour (lunch), you will find a table, no problem! I do think you are paying for the scenic view by the water which is quite nice. To have lunch by the boats is very picturesque. High chairs for babies available. They don’t let you reserve tables until you order, which is good and prevents people from hogging seats. Great spot by the water. A (not so) well kept secret. Terrific lobster rolls and fries. They have other foods too like fried oysters, tacos, etc. Lobster from Maine. Extensive beer and drink selection. I wish this place had more umbrellas so that patrons wouldn’t have to sit in the sun. We ended up sharing a table with strangers which wasn’t bad. Food was delicious but pricey. Came on a weekday. Plenty of parking.

Went there with a party of 8 on a late Saturday afternoon and the staff were very kind to us. They managed to seat us within a couple of minutes right by the water which was amazing. The food there was really good too, it is pricey but the atmosphere around you makes it worth it. I highly recommend the fried scallops platter, they’re crispy on the outside and the inside melts in your mouth like butter. The fried clams and the clam chowder were great as well. The shrimp tacos are a nice simple snack to get and a safe option for anyone who’s maybe not into seafood. I would say that the lobster rolls maybe needed a bit of seasoning on it or a sauce on it but the lobster itself is quality. I would definitely come here again, it’s a great place to bring your friends and family!

Average seafood shack… good amount of variety. They do have ipswich clams though which is my fav but had better. Long lines on weekends, nice place to dine outdoors. Self-Serve.

This was a great little place on the Manhasset Bay. Had the lobster roll that had a great buttery bun. My friends had burgers and clam chowder, and everyone enjoyed it.

Friendly service, excellent lobster roll and the fries are also low-key fantastic. The tacos needed a bit more zing to them but were nicely fried. The chowder wasn't quite up to new england levels and was probably a miss on a sweltering day, but was otherwise fine. We arrived just before a huge line formed which was nice but I think they'd benefit from having more tables with umbrellas to shield from the sun.

Fun spot on the water to get a meal or drink! It's counter service and surprisingly quick. We went about 6 pm on a Thursday and our food came right out. Ample parking and the food seems fresh. I'm not sure if there's bathroom access or not 🤔
