Great value.... </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/seafood/page/3#post-4332 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:44:27 -0500 Archivist 4332@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Oyster Bar at Grand Central. Oyster (or other seafood) stews arre about $10. At lunch they also have sandwich specials...they can be a bit spare, but are worth it, and all are under $10. If you eat it there, you'll also get a biscuit and flatbreads with butter for a little extra filler </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/seafood/page/3#post-4331 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:33:46 -0500 adamprato 4331@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>It's always funny when shills post like that on this website.</p> <p>Clearly we have different definitions of the word "inexpensive". </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/seafood/page/3#post-4330 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:58:57 -0500 StreetMeasOnsumer3008 4330@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>$25 for a soup?

For $25 dollars you can order a rich lobster bisque, big and hearty enough for two. Go in for lunch on Tuesdays and wine is half off, accompany with a salad or appetizer and you have a great meal for two, inexpensive, and a bit better service and decor than Red Lobster! Best you can do in Midtown. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/seafood/page/2#post-4312 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:55:11 -0500 Samwich 4312@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>i suppose...to each their own. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/seafood/page/2#post-4308 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:34:31 -0500 StreetMeasOnsumer3008 4308@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Well, I didn't even get to the service part at that location because they wouldn't seat my friends. I've been to Red Lobster before, just not the one in Times Sq. Red Lobster's food is crap for the most part. I like their cheddar biscuits and the fondue appetizer but everything else isn't special or fantastic for the prices they charge. I don't even order their lobster anymore (Cantonese-style lobster is a hundred times better IMO). I only order their shrimp when my friends want to go so might as well go to Bubba Gump's instead! </p> <p>Ruby Tuesday's has good burgers. I've eaten in their downstairs and upstairs area. If you want good service and a good burger with unlimited fries, make sure to go upstairs. The downstairs is a limited menu. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/seafood/page/2#post-4307 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:05:35 -0500 Samwich 4307@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>@StreetMeasOnsumer3008...red lobster food isnt garbage...you just got shafted...on service</p> <p>however regarding ruby tuesdays...regardless of their service or friendlyness...their food is garbage... </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/seafood/page/2#post-4304 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 08:40:00 -0500 sushiburger 4304@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>I hear Milos is good for seafood...

Actually I grew up going to Red Lobster 2-3x a month, though not the one in Manhattan (I don't think that was there), and as a kid always alternated between ordering steamed or fried flounder. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/seafood/page/2#post-4301 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:21:25 -0500 mghu777 4301@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Wow. I can't believe what I am reading. Bubba Gump's? Really? I find that place DISGUSTING. And I've been dragged there more times than I care to remember. They use WAY too much butter in their dishes. I'd have to say that Red Lobster is much better. However, if I want seafood, I got to BXL with a friend in midtown east for the mussels. 2lbs for 17 bucks. Split it and you are golden. There are like 8 different sauces that you can try with it, too. Worried about filling up? Psssh. Do it right and dip your bread in the sauce and you will enjoy a good lunch. Best part is that at lunch, almost no one is there. After 6 PM, can't be there without unintentionally humping someone's leg. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/seafood/page/2#post-4300 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:57:21 -0500 Ms.Noni 4300@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>What about McCormick and Schmicks at 1285 Avenue of the Americas?
