Mary's Fish Camp is a small, no-frills West Village seafood spot on Charles Street best known for its lobster roll, drawing a steady following of regulars and visitors in a dining room with limited seating. Its compact footprint is the main reason it's associated with waits and tight seating rather than any single signature draw beyond the food itself.
Reviewers describe waits that scale with the hour: earlier meals tend to move faster, while showing up later in the evening (reviewers point to around 7pm and after) has been reported to mean significantly longer waits, with a table for two easily running 30+ minutes on busy nights. The restaurant's own site currently promotes reservations alongside dine-in and takeout, so booking ahead — or checking current policy directly — is a reasonable way to reduce uncertainty given the small space.

Reservations: Mary's Fish Camp accepts reservations - per its official site, the homepage advertises "Dine-In, Book Reservations & Order Take-out."
That said, reviewers commonly describe it as a small, tightly-packed space where a table for two can mean a 30+ minute wait on a busy night, and going later in the evening (after roughly 7pm) has been reported to push waits past an hour or more. (No live damnlines camera here yet — this is reported guidance, not a live count.)
The restaurant's own website currently advertises dine-in, reservation booking, and takeout, so reservations appear to be an option. Because seating is limited, it's worth booking ahead or calling to confirm current policy rather than assuming walk-in-only or reservation-only.
Reported hours are Monday through Saturday from 12pm to 10pm, and Sunday from 12pm to 5pm. Always double-check with the restaurant directly since hours can shift.
It's at 64 Charles St in the West Village, Manhattan.
Based on reviewer reports, earlier meals — lunch or an early dinner before roughly 7pm — tend to mean a shorter wait than showing up later in the evening, when the small dining room fills up fastest.
The official site does not specify walk-in policy details, so this isn't confirmed from the source used.
