Stopped by while at the beach for some seafood and drinks. The lobster was fresh and tasty, definitely the highlight. Cheeseburger and fried calamari were decent, and the drinks were pretty good. Overall a nice casual spot to grab a bite and enjoy the boardwalk vibe.

Nice place with tasty food and great boardwalk views! Food is mainly fried, fries were really yummy though! Lobster roll is $24 which we opted out of trying. Overall nice spot for grabbing a bite and a beer while enjoying Coney Island.

Paul’s Daughter is a family-run spot, now operated by the original owner’s daughter, offers a nostalgic slice of New York beach culture.   The menu is a classic lineup of boardwalk bites. Fresh seafood, juicy beef franks, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and savory Italian sausages. Pair them with hand-cut fries, crispy chicken tenders, corndogs, or a hearty knish. For something sweet, enjoy funnel cakes, fluffy cotton candy, creamy soft serve, and refreshing Italian ices. Wash it all down with a cold beer or a frozen margarita. Paul’s Daughter exudes vintage charm. The casual, divey ambiance is complemented by outdoor seating that offers ocean views, making it a perfect spot to relax and soak in the boardwalk vibes.  We ordered the corndog, fries, and a cheeseburger, each one was absolutely incredible. I’ve never had this kind of comfort food taste so good. Honestly, I could’ve gone back for seconds of everything.

One of the best lobster rolls I’ve had anywhere in the world (homer in paris, street food in montauk also incredible). A touch of citrus and chive perhaps contributing, plus the butter grilled roll. $26. Right along the boardwalk/beach. Rest of the menu may not be as good. Burger, fried calamari or clams, etc.

I go here for the raw clams... Cherry Stones and Little Necks and the beer on tap... Always delicious and refreshing. FYI.. go to the side bar where the tables are at and make your order if the front window has a line...

Paul's Daughter is a Coney Island classic and the food absolutely delivers. The lobster roll was fresh, packed with meat, and one of the best I've had—juicy and perfectly seasoned. Fried clams and jumbo shrimp were crispy and not greasy, and the corn dogs are a must for that nostalgic boardwalk feel. Service was quick and friendly; they handled the line efficiently even when busy.
