About

Johnny’s Reef has been a staple of City Island as an open-air seafood cafeteria serving customers for over 60 years. In this time, our mission has never changed: To Serve the Freshest and Most Delicious Seafood City Island has to offer. It is thronged by Bronxites—Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Cubans, Italians, Irish, Jewish, Albanian, Slovenian, as well as people from Manhattan, Queens, Westchester and Connecticut, along with foreign tourists who have heard about its All American largess. It is as close to being in a true melting pot as any institution in the five boroughs.
