The original Lundy Brothers restaurant was first opened in 1934 in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn New York. At one point in time founder Irving Lundy built Lundy's Restaurant to be the largest restaurant in the United States, seating over 2,400.


The Lundy's story is one of those heartwarming rags-to-riches sagas so common to New York City and to Brooklyn in particular. In the early 1900s, the tall, redheaded Irving Lundy started his career by selling clams from a pushcart in Sheepshead Bay.


By the late 1930s, his restaurant was serving seafood to hundreds of people on a summer evening, with hundreds more circling tables , peering over the shoulders of other diners, eagerly waiting for a table to become available. While some Brooklyn families flocked to Lundy's to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and Mother's and Father's days, others made Sundays at Lundy's and the shore dinner their custom after a day at Coney Island or Brighton Beach.

Today, Lundy's is a true landmark in the heart of Brooklyn and continues to draw people from all over the world to have a meal.
