"This restaurant has been a part of my life for more than 22 years, and each time I go, it feels special and nostalgic. When I was a child, I can still recall thinking I was traveling to an exotic place, like the Caribbean, to have fresh seafood on the drive to City Island. Once we arrived I would grab my meal and run outside on to the seats, taking in the grandeur of the water's vista. I will not gatekeep Seafood City, the Bronx's secret jewel! If you're looking for delicious fried shrimp with a side order of french fries (which also includes a pickle and coleslaw), Seafood City is one of the greatest places to go. The shrimp tastes even better when you squeeze some lemon over it. They have a huge menu and also make delicious baked clams, crab legs, and lobster tails. The seafood here is incredibly fresh, you will not find anything like this in New York. The portions are substantial and the order of shrimp and fries, along with the sides, costs less than $20. The pricing is also reasonable. It should be noted that this establishment accepts only cash. However, there is an ATM on site for you to withdraw cash, or you can go to a local bank. There is plenty of space to park if you are driving because the lot is large. You can also take public transportation use the 6 line to Pelham Bay and then transfer to the 29 bus to get to City Island. This location is both indoor and outdoor seating, and is ideal for large gatherings. However, it is self-serve with no wait staff. I can not forget about the Pina Colada, which is the main deal, to Henny or not Henny? (IYKYK) The cherry is the best part, and you can choose whether or not you want alcohol in it. Personally, I like both! This beverage is ideal for a spring or summer day, and it's delightful to sit outside and enjoy the view of the water. They also have wine, sangria and other cocktails."
