A mussel-centric menu that has some great desserts as well.
Jacqueline XuFebruary 11, 2013
Awesome French onion mussels and lobster Mac and cheese. Truffle fries is ok though. Great staff.

Yummy... Go with the Thai mussels.. You won't be disappointed! They even packed the broth up for me to bring home.

Flavorful mussels, $1,50 oysters on happy hour and some drink specials
James H.November 17, 2019
Oysters were good but smallish. Fried clams were good. Not impressed with classic mussels. Sauce was lacking flavor and mussels were small. Beer draft was good. Bread was excellent. Okay overall.

Kristen PeiranoDecember 21, 2014
Inconsistent.... A ton of shells in my meal and the sauce not nearly as good as my precious visits. Also they pour the smallest glasses of wine

Thai curry mussels are great! So are the truffle fries!

Parma mussels are all they're hyped up to be. Save the bread to dunk into the sauce!

From the fresh french fries to the pots of mussels (try the bisque or the fungi) this place is amazing! And you cannot leave with out trying the donuts
Nasira Ju-manAugust 3, 2015
Amazing mussel flavors and their doughnuts are so fluffy!

So good. Had a great time. Leave room for their donuts!

Come for the mussels, stay for the donuts
Mona FetouhJuly 3, 2013
The salted caramel donuts are amazing. Great, very fresh mussels too.

“The name, though reminiscent of a Tarzan boast, is apt: Flex Mussels forgoes European and American tradition and puts the mussel on steroids.” Read more

I want to try everything. Thai = check. Maine and The Southern tonight
Lauren GilchristJuly 11, 2012
Same deal as downtown. Mobbed on Thursday night. Saturday afternoon is better, try for one of the three outdoor tables.

Go in through the back door on East 50th Street instead of through the front on Rockerfeller Plaza on busy days.
Karen Au YeungApril 19, 2015
Don't forget to order the donuts at the end of the meal!
Nina LoSchiavoJune 24, 2015
The parm mussels are insanely good. Don't skip dessert.

The warm salted caramel doughnut is to die for. Came highly recommended by our waiter, too.

Just amazing. Try mussels with a curry base!
Giovanni MelendezNovember 13, 2015
The parm mussels are awesome and so are the donuts
Aneesh SehmbiJanuary 30, 2011
Ask for the boozy donuts. They're not on the menu, but they're an alcoholic donut. Tonight's special is a White russian!
Lance LacoffFebruary 10, 2013
Came for the mussels, and they were great, but the salted caramel doughnut changed my life.
Matthew KutnickDecember 30, 2011
Bisque and Parma are favorites. Be sure to try the Old Bay Fries and Doughnuts also.

The Dijon mussels were our table's favorite.
Barrett LaneMay 29, 2011
The Maine mussels are a must; steamed mussels in a creamy broth with parsley, bacon, and lobster. Fries are ok.

We had the Classic and the Parma, they were good but the mussel pot is still my fav

Get an off menu alcoholic doughnut, the s'mores one, and the salted caramel one.
Emilie FMarch 25, 2014
Good but Classic mussels/Truffle fries too pricey:for 50% you'll have the same not so far elsewhere.Chocolate donut was amazing.Caramel too salty.Service was yet impeccable.
