Morningside Cafe

I’ve been eating Crabman Mike’s food from its inception on 125th street in Harlem and I’m so excited to see him bring his amazing food to a brick and mortar in Morningside Park! All these years later the food and flavor do not disappoint and are even better than what I remembered! Whether you are in the neighborhood or traveling in to experience the Cajun flavors…the food is well worth it and the service was great! He’s brought a gem to the neighborhood that’s worth exploring! I had the blue crabs and peel and eat shrimp with corn on the cob and potatoes. It was delicious down to the last bite! Can’t wait to return for more!

10/10 the food was amazing, prices were great. It was clean and we got cool bibs to keep us clean. They even showed us how to properly open up the crabs which was super nice because we were struggling. But again food was 10/10 and the staff is also 10/10.

Morningside Magic! If cozy charm and top-tier got together to open up a parkside eatery, it would be Morningside Cafe!! From the moment you walk in, you're wrapped in the scent of fresh seafood deliciousness. The hot dogs are yummy good too!! The proprietor Crabman Mike is friendly and lightning-fast. Perfect for lazy Sundays, power-through Mondays, or anytime you need a bite of pure happiness. Morningside Cafe is my new happy place!

My two sisters and I went this past Sunday to celebrate one of my sister’s birthdays, and let me just say — Crabman Mike did not disappoint! From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely incredible. The food was out of this world. Everything from the blue crabs to the snow crab legs was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The fresh, plump, juicy corn was sweet and buttery — the kind that makes you close your eyes with the first bite. The clams tasted like they were just caught fresh from the sea that morning and brought straight to our table. Every bite was a reminder of why we love coming here! The beer and spritz selection is another win — Crabman Mike carries beers you don’t usually see anywhere else, and his variety is top-notch. And if you’ve got a sweet toot

I was just there, spent over $40, and did not get exactly what I ordered. My food isn’t hot, it was wrapped up, and handed to me like it was my exact order. I was excited to try the blue crab, instead I get shrimp. The one star is for the customer service.
