Marinos Seafood Market & Restaurant in Cranford

Great food!

I have never had a bad meal here.Everything is always fresh and well prepared.

Best seafood in the area, great prices

Good, simple, fresh cooked fish dine in or take out, or if you prefer taken it home and cook it yourself.

Met my girlfriend there for lunch at 1:30. By 2:15 we still hadn't gotten our food. Mind you, we only ordered a fish sandwich, chicken fingers, crab cakes and french fries. And mind you, there was NO ONE ELSE in the restaurant from the time we arrived. At 2:10, when we asked how much longer we had to wait, we were told "as soon as possible". We asked to have our food packaged to go since we were on our lunch break. When we got back to our respective offices, the food was horrible and the portions were ridiculously small. We wasted our lunch breaks for food that wasn't fit to eat when we finally got it. NEVER AGAIN!

Disappointing. Evidence of fresh ingredients in the display counter, but indifferent preparation and recipes sucked out all the joy.

Fresh fish, delicious dinners, wonderful service and a small but beautiful restaurant.

I love Marino's! Fresh seafood made to order. Cute cozy and friendly restaurant. Sheronda is in town and we had a nice time!

When i got into their restaurant it was totally empty. No guests...I ordered to go. Total supposed to be around 25 but when i got home and checked my receipt. They overcharged me $10! And my fried flounder was horrible.New England clam chowder was salty and old taste.Never want to come back!!!

Very good fish and seafood.

Good food

We ordered from Marinos a week ago and all 4 meals were delicious. Probably the best stuffed flounder I've had. We will be ordering again tomorrow to celebrate my wifes birthday. Can't wait!

Great place.

Great fresh food and great service.

Great local seafood place. BYOB. Delicious seafood. Cozy atmosphere.

Excellent food but somewhat pricey. Best clam strips anywhere!

My wife and I went there for Valentines Day and let me first say the servers were really nice but the food was not good at all. The only thing we had that was ok was the buffalo shrimp. My wife had the swordfish and it was very chewy felt like it was a steak. I tried the spicy crab soup was very thick and salty. The server took it back and substituted for the New England Clam chowder which tasted a little better but still salty. For the Entree I had the Shrimp and Scallop Scampi which was very bland and not even hot. I did not want to send it back because I already sent the soup back.. But from my understanding this place is very old school and not looking to make any changes. This place is in need of some serious upgrades. My stomach is still hurting from the food..there prices are too expensive because it did match the quality of the food. Will Not be returning there.

Underrated, and generally undiscovered restaurant with delicious fresh fish.

Went for Valentine's, looked up the food and prices online, was really expensive but we figured it was for Valentine's so screw the price, thought it was going to be a super fancy restaurant or something. Almost didn't believe we were in the right place when we got there, it was a little hole in the wall with chintzy decor and one waist-apron-ed waitress! We still ate there and the food was good but to justify that price you'd have to double the portion of food or take the atmosphere and service up about 20 notches, I'm talking tuxes for the servers and white linen table cloths.

Food was delicious!!

Two different take out orders - 1. Seafood bisque - more of a chowder - certainly not bisque. It was mediocre at best.2. Spicy crab bisque - again more of a chowder - not a smooth bisque and I was VERY disappointed to find IMITATION seafood in the soup. Plus it was NOT spicy. Ordered 1 quart and 4 pints, and received 2 packets of oyster crackers and 4 slices of bread. Coworker got Manhatten Clam Chowder and he said it was bland and lacked flavor.Trust me - If you're looking for good soup - SKIP THIS PLACE!

I ordered shimp over the phone. I was clear about wanting it deveined and peeled. They quoted me a price and when I showed up, they charged me 25% more. The employee acknowledged to the manager that he had quoted me that price. The manager did not care and still charged me $30 dollars more. She wasn't even polite about it. Needless to say, I'm never buying from that place again.A lady who heard the whole thing caught up with me outside and mentioned how disappointed she was to see the manager's attitude.

Great quality food and nice atmosphere. Underrated local gem, the seafood always taste fresh.

Fresh & tasty seafood. My family is not big fan of seafood outside of home, but this place has become our new seafood favorite spot.

I ordered haddock, the spicy crab bisque, and a salad with Bleu cheese dressing.I though the crab soup was great, pretty spicy!The Bleu cheese dressing was probably the best Bleu cheese Ive ever had, very strong and unique, I'd buy this by the tub if I could.The haddock was very good, but the tartar sauce was excellent. I'm not even a person that normally likes any restsurant's tartar sauce but this one was worth noting.

Fresh seafood family owned institutions

Very friendly staff, food looked good only gave it 3 stars because it has a very dark and gloomy atmosphere which is not appealing and they are a restaurant not a seafood market and has a very small selection of fresh fish. Other than that I would shop there again

Food is fresh and delicious. Most if all the staff and service is excellent!

Amazing fresh and home made food, Wonderful service

Excellent food, great atmosphere! Nice people! Worth of coming back!!

I thought it was just ok

Food is always great! Had fish tacos which was so good and fresh.Intimate setting. BYOB.

The food is fantastic as is the waitress.

Talk about old school! This is a great place. Good fresh simple seafood dishes. The fried shrimp are the best especially when served with a side of linguine marinara. I've been eating there for years and have never had a bad experience.

Love the food, portions are small....

LOVE THIS PLACE! Best seafood in Cranford!

Luv

We had an excellent time at this restaurant. We liked the extraordinary ambience and the food. The waiters are very attentive. I am content we eventually decided to visit here.

Food was delicious but portion size for price was not satisfactory. Tartar sauce was out of this world.

The best seafood around. No wonder why this has been around for over 70 years! To be honest I haven't had anything I didn't like. Kudos to the cooks!

Don't pass up blackboard Specials , you won't be disappointed. And no meal is Complete without dessert ,Triple Chocolate layer cake is the way to go .If you're lucky enough to be there when they have it. There has to be a reason why they have been there over 20 years

Excellent food and service and convenient prices. The fish is really fresh and the place is cozy. It's also BYOB

Fantastic cuisine and atmosphere

This is our favorite place. Best seafood we ever had. Everything on the menu is amazing.

Hadn't been there for many years. Had the beer battered fish. It was amazing.

Nice place. Good food . Pleasant atmosphere . Nice service
