Beloved Island Park Lobster Restaurant Announces Return After Fire

ISLAND PARK, NY — After weeks of repair efforts, Island Park’s beloved Jordan Lobster Farms reopened to customers Wednesday, the restaurant announced.

In an update shared on social media, the proprietors of Jordan Lobster Farms said the restaurant would be reopening July 1, “after an incredibly difficult few weeks.”

“The fire tested us in ways we never imagined, but it also reminded us how fortunate we are to be part of such an amazing community,” the announcement reads. “The love, encouragement, and support from our family, friends, customers, first responders and incredible staff has carried us through every step of this journey.”

On June 13, the county fire marshal’s office said Jordan Lobster Farms had been the site of a three-alarm fire that broke out while the restaurant was open. That fire took over an hour for a team of about 150 firefighters to get under control, a task that was accomplished without any injuries, fire officials said.

In the announcement that the restaurant would be returning, one group was highlighted in particular as having been crucial to the return effort: Jordan Lobster Farms’ “Lobstertricians,” the staff behind the shellfish.

According to the announcement, the Lobstertricians, “showed up, rolled up their sleeves, and worked tirelessly to bring Jordan's back to life. Through the mess, the long days, and the heartbreak. The faces you see here are just some of the heart of this place, and we could not have done this without a single one of them - pictured or not.”

According to the restaurant’s website, the fish market at Jordan’s opens at 10 a.m. daily, with the restaurant space opening at 11:30 a.m.
