HH Heat Wave

Located at 88-12 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, this neighborhood spot specializes in heavily seasoned American comfort classics and fresh seafood. Beyond the boils, the menu features catfish, honey-glazed salmon bites, cranberry rice, and rich shrimp and crab mac and cheese. Because every dish is prepared fresh to order, the kitchen moves at its own pace, but regulars agree the wait is worth it. Seating is extremely limited, with only two outdoor tables on hand, making it a prime candidate for takeout. The restaurant operates Tuesday through Sunday.
