The pre-fix price is phenomenal, and it has a luxurious feel to it while keeping it somewhat casual.This place looks horrible from the outside but I’m so happy to give it a chance. Perfection!This is my go-to place for date night, the crab salad is amazing. The steak is perfectly seasoned/charred.“

“Went here for the first time. I was immediately impressed by the fact that when I ordered a lamb gyro they cooked/heated up the meat along with the gyro flatbread on the grill. This way my sandwich was piping hot and tasted fresher than places that usally keep a hot tray for the meats and dish it out. Service was also friendly. I will be back!“

“The food here is fine. No culinary adventure, but respectable. The people here however are wonderful. Friendly, pleasant, and really make you feel welcome. Great place to get your grub on, and before your leave, get the best carrot cake you've ever tasted.“

“Really beautifully done restaurant.. the decor is very warm and homie feeling but still very classy and super nice. The food was very good , I loved their fried pickle's and the steak was great! A lot to choose from on the menu too. Had an awesome time with my mother and sister here ❤️ definitely will go again“

“We booked my sister's surprise 30th Birthday at the Tap Room in Patchogue and had the BEST experience! Both bartenders were so kind and accommodating the entire time! Also, booking was a breeze! I was in great communication with the Event Coordinators throughout the entire process prior to the party. They were always prompt in answering questions and super friendly. Everyone at the party loved the food (we ordered a few trays of apps) and did the open bar package. The night couldn't have gone any better!“

“Peter’s is our new place for breakfast when we go out. We used to go to the place down the road but the staff at Peters is so warm and welcoming! Our breakfast always comes out quick is plentiful and reasonably priced. Peter’s will be our place from now on, you won’t be disappointed !“

“I’ve done the “One Bite” tour around Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island—I’ve gone to the hole-in-the-wall word-of-mouthers, too. Vincent’s Pizza Truck is undoubtedly up there with the best of them. The plain pie is perfectly dressed; the crust, thoughtfully caramelized with the right hint of char. Expect a crisp bite with great chew and the right balance of sauce to cheese to top a pie as thin as these. Do not skip out on an opportunity to eat here. The staff is always friendly and well-spirited, really rounding out the experience as a whole.“

“For a vegan, nothing much to choose from without modifying menu options. Servers were polite and ready to help. Music was a bit too loud, but patrons seemed to really enjoy the place.Vegetarian options: Needs expanding and more creativity. So many restaurants now have a Beyond burger, salads without cheese/egg, etc.Kid-friendliness: Kids not offered activity like coloring page/crayons, doesn't seem children-oriented.“

“We have eaten in the Athens Diner a number of times, for breakfast, this time lunch. It is clean, the staff are happy to serve, the food is delicious and served attractively. I had a roast beef on whole wheat bread, so good! Thank you so much! Oh! Parking has always been esay!“

“First time here for a late lunch. Our server was excellent and the food ordered was very good. Onion rings were especially good. Food came out timely. Side salads are a nice size. Good basic pub food with reasonable prices and good sized portions. We'll be back.“

“The service was outstanding. Most everyone 3 ot of 4 enjoyed their meal, Chicken Pot Pie, Short Ribs, Steak Sandwich, Crab Cake Sandwich. My brother wasn't entirely happy with Crab Cake Sandwich. Too much bread not enough crab. The wings were definitely Buffalo, I enjoyed, others thought to much heat. More for me! We had a very good time altogether, I will definitely be back.“

“Had a great lunch here with a coworker. Views were great and the food was very good. The Thai chili wings and the cob salad, I can attest, are spot on. The only thing keeping this place from five stars with me is the dining room is a bit cramped. Nevertheless, I'll be back with the wife. She'll enjoy it too I'm sure.“

“Family owned restaurant with that being welcomed into their home feeling. Great variety on menu, portions are plentiful, food always delicious.I love visiting Dina and Billy, sons Anthony and Jimmy! Their staff is always friendly and welcoming.Every visit is a joy.“

“Traveling back from a trip on a Sunday. We didn’t want to go to a chain so googled Mexican restaurant near me and this came up. It’s a small diner and was crowded. Language barrier was a tiny bit of a challenge but made it work. The food was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. I mean so, so good! I’m so glad we stopped hereParking: Their parking is limited and tight, however we parked very close in a nearby shopping center. Only about 1 minutes walk away“

“From Christmas week, 12/26.I'm a bit behind with Burger reviewsThis burger was awesome.I have been here before, last September, but did not post a review here about itI ordered it my usual medium rare, and they cooked it exactly the way I liked it.The meat blend they used is spectacular....It really hit my tastebuds the right way.The bun was fresh, a bit soft, but held up well against the juicy burger..The price was right , $14.50 WITH bacon and cheese.The fries were crispy as I like them.My dining partner had the French Onion Soup, as it was one of the Specials. She said it was up there with one of the best she's had in a while.The service was great!!! Our waitress was quick, professional, upbeat, and funnyIt was busy, as they have a few popular specials on Tuesdays, one being a $22 porterhouse.. The table next to us both ordered it, and they said they loved it.Thanks MerissaThey have their own parking lot, but it fills up quick..There is also street parking. I've never had a problem thereThis burger is in my Top Tier , Top 5 territory..Which is getting very crowded.I'm going to have to budge my stubbornness thinking I can decide the 5 best, when there are truly numerous "TopTier" burgers on Long Island, and on my Radar Screen; which is all of Suffolk County, and an occasional foray into the 516 territory.Cavanaughs, Blue Point“

“Normally service is very good 5 stars, but this visit the girl was not friendly or helpful. She couldn’t remember what toast I ordered and the potatoes were soggy and when I said something about it, she just walked away when she could have offered a replacement. We asked for napkins and she brought them when she brought the check. We will have to stay with our regular server Mike next time.“

“We have been going to swolehouse for sometime now. Everytime we come here we are always greeted with a smile. The owner is so nice and all the employees there are just as knowledgeable! We usually go on Thursdays and the sweetest lady is working there. The meals taste absolutely amazing, along with their shakes! So happy we decided to try swolehouse! We are now hooked!Highly recommend“

“First time ordering food from here and we will definitely be back. Clean dining area, very friendly staff and DELICIOUS food. We had the chicken tenders, onion rings, chopped cheese hero, macaroni and cheese and Cheddar Chicken sandwich. Everything was cooked and presented perfectly. We even had leftovers to take home. DEFINITELY recommend ordering from here.“

“Had my wife's retirement party there last Sunday and that was the second catering event we have had there. We had over 70 people and they easily accommodated us. The food was fantastic, wait staff was courteous, friendly and very professional. Well done Flanagan's and thank you very much.“

“We love this place! Food is ALWAYS Excellent! The owner Santos is a pleasure to speak to. This place is the perfect option when you don’t want to cook and don’t want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on dinner and way better than those places that are super expensive . Highly recommend !“

“We had to try Whiskey Neat in Patchogue after reading a negative review and the owners response!! Impressed that the owner stood up for his restaurant with a legitimate come back! The food was so good as well as the drinks, all served properly. My husband had the pastrami sandwich with a side of broccolini. I had the seared scallops with a side of roasted carrots. All of the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Nice to have some quality veges cooked to perfection. We definitely will be back! Unfortunately we left (9:15 PM) before the DJ was completely set up. Great job Whiskey Neat!!“

“Love this location, it’s so clean. Been there several times! The host Jesse is nice and friendly. Our go-to servers, Alyssa C and Rob A, are attentive, fun and sweet. They give us the best service. The manager Jill is also very sweet!I definitely recommend this location!“

“Phenomenal quick lunch late afternoon snack Open airy friendly clean accessible withampleparking Always beautifully decorated for all holidays. A must try Food is cooked fresh, pizza is piping hot and several options Vegetarians , GF, and traditional freshmade to order or a slice of pre-made if you prefer! Restaurant is nicely situated Bartender is friendly and welcoming too. Whether pizza or a hero or dinner everyone sits in same area!“

“Peter’s on the Green is a little hidden gem at the Bellport Country Club. My review is based on my wine which tasted a bit sour but this is coming from someone that is hard to please LOL. My sibling and I visited at the end of November 2023 for an afternoon lunch on a Saturday. Our meals came with a salad, mine was Greek and it was delicious. My brother got a chicken dino and I ordered an Uncle Peter (chicken, cheese, pasta…) and we shared a yummy dessert. We both took leftovers home and enjoyed them at a later time. I think the menu selection is great, location is gorgeous and the bathrooms could use an update. Overall, it’s a solid option for a nice lunch.“

“Amazing!!! ? from start to finish the first time I called I spoke to the Carl the owner who guided me through it all. I had a party for my mom tonight in the cottage. Everything was beautiful. The food amazing! The sweetest staff you will ever meet! Special thanks to Kayleigh for always answering my emails . We will always use this place !“

“Relaxing atmosphere and so many sandwich choices. I had the Brooklyn Dip with onion rings and it was delicious. The appetizer sampler platter was good-included wings, fried mozzarella sticks and potato skins. Reasonable prices for the entrees.“

“love the staff here. So friendly and their vegan pizza is so good!!! They even keep vegan pizza for you to order by the sliceI normally get a Sicilian with half roasted red peppers with onions and the other half eggplant with garlic. It's so good and my non-vegan friends like it too.“

“It's a nice sports bar in a shady looking location, who cares? They have giant TVs that make it enjoyable to watch whatever sport event is on. I came here for a ranger game so the entire place was packed with ranger fans. We were seated right away even though it was busy. I love love fried pickles so of course I had to try them, but I have to say they were a little on the thick side, so just alright. I have to say I really really liked their guac and chips. I feel like these chips were so crunchy and thin that it really made me want to eat the entire thing. I prefer these thin crispy tortilla chips to those hard thick ones. We also ordered wings. And I got a salad, I asked for it to be topped with crunchy onions. I have to say it was surprisingly good. Getting a salad in a bar can be sus, but this one was good! Looking for a place to watch the game, check this spot out.“

“We visit Long Island a few times per year and we never miss a visit or two or three to the Lake Grove Diner. The food is delicious, fresh and plentiful. Peter is so hardworking and friendly. We thought he was the owner as he treats this place as if it were his own. The staff is great. We love this place!“

“4.5 stars is about rightThis is my first time here never been here before I didn't even know it existed went into watch the Jets game really great place for TVs everywhere I mean they had everything on You know it's like watching the Jets they're terrible They lost terribly their season's terrible so they have a few other things on there's like a college game on and then there was like some MMA women's fighting It was just a lot of things to look at.Very pretty young bartender and Alexis and I didn't catch the other woman's name but they were both really niceHere's the exampleAnd the reason why I gets one star offI ordered a Miller lite It was flat so there's your one star off really flat I haven't had a Miller Lane foreverNow he's with a bunch of guys and they were drinking Miller lite out of a pitcher.When I went to leave I said Oh I just had the 1 Miller lights to no worries I'll put it on their bill You don't owe.anything.Now that's a great bartender bartender knows their patrons and when they're coming back when the by when the buyback all those of things something other places could really use and learn about is buybacks and courtesy.So I asked for some change just so I could tip her five bucksI'll definitely be back here especially to watch the Jets lose!Possibly for the super bowlHave the shrimp fajitas for sureFriends said they were good ?“

“Been wanting to try this place for a long time & it’s a shame I slept on it. Food was amazing - so hard to decide what to get as so many menu options sounded great. Pizza was awesome, Martini Monday is a great deal. Can’t wait to return to try more entrees.“

“Honestly this Friendly’s location is my favorite they always make the food fresh and everybody it’s always friendly. I ordered three kids meals and they were made with such care. I will certainly be coming back to this location. Thank you and have a good night. I’ll see you soon. Again, good night sleep well sleep well. I’ll see you again soon. Good night again. See you soon. OK? Good night!! What are you still doing up?“

“Wow. Mine and my boyfriend’s first time here. Everything was amazing. We ordered the chilli espresso wings and Mac and cheese to start, the food came out so fast and was unreal. I got the chicken wrap and my boyfriend got a burger. Everything was amazing, from the service to the food I was so impressed. Will definitely be back!“

“The guy who worked there last night is a GEM! I ordered online close to closing and he still asked if I wanted cheese in my hero, put it on for me, and stuck it back in the oven. He also told me that if I called directly to the restaurant for a pick up order, it’s a few bucks cheaper. I had a rough day at work and needed comfort food that wasn’t fast food and he just made it that much better. Thank you!Eggplant parm hero also hit the spot! Will be back.“

“2nd time here. Love the games they have to play, like speedball, Pac-Man, board games, card games etc. They have a great happy hour selection at the bar. Live music. Great time to spend with friends. My drink ? was good, shared an appetizer and my roasted veggie tacos ? were yummy.“

“A few months ago, I went here with my boyfriend for Valentines Day as we had made reservations. It was our first time going to this restaurant, easy back parking so we were able to walk over.The staff, were incredibly nice and friendly had a very welcoming and warm attitude, the setting was very romantic and very nicely set up although the seatings were a bit tight so there wasn’t much space but again it was Valentine’s Day so it was very busy.We ordered pretzel bites for an appetizer, it was very soft, and buttery! The beer cheese that came along with it was delicious as well! As for entree’s my boyfriend ordered the New Orleans Chicken Sandwich along with fries, which was really good and we both loved the sauce that came with it! I ordered Shrimp & Fresh Spinach Pasta which was okay, there was a little too much spinach and the shrimp wasn’t fresh tasting but the sauce was really good!Lastly, my boyfriend and I ordered a PB Oreo Brownie but unfortunately they didn’t have any more of it so we decided to go with the Lava Cake and share it. When the Lava Cake came we were a bit surprised by how small it was, so like each of us ate like two bites so in all fairness I wouldn’t necessarily recommend the desserts as they are very small portions but it was very good tasting otherwise I’d get this at like Applebees or something or somewhere elsewhere.Overall, I recommend this place for a nice and simple date with you and your partner since it has that atmosphere and the staff is super friendly, the food was great for the most part and I really enjoyed my time there so I will definitely be coming back!Parking: Parking is rather very easy, whether you park on the side of the street or access to the back parking lot that’s near the bank and Dunkin’ Donuts!“

“First time here. The fried shrimp and lobster bisque was delicious! The outdoor seating is nice. I'll bet that fire pit is amazing at night. Not sure if you are dog friendly so we left our furry companion in the car while we ate at one of the picnic tables outside to keep an eye on her. Definitely looking forward to our next meal here.“

“Every time I come here the food is great and so is the service, but it's a once in a while dine for me as it's a bit priceyParking: Yk, depending on the day and what time, there's either plenty of parking or there's no good spots.“

“Truthfully, to return to a restaurant I've loved since childhood is a happiness I am thrilled to be sharing with my own children now. Sadly, my childhood one in Ronkonkoma closed and all who had fond memories were SO incredibly sad. However, we will continue to be thankful for the ones still open and functioning! Kids were THRILLED when the mini mozzarella sticks returned after seeing them go due to the pandemic, and grateful that the online order was gotten ? correct! Thank you #TeamFriendlys!!!❤️“

“Have only gone for breakfast. Always consistent. Eggs over always perfect.French Toast is as good as homemade. I'm very picky about sausage links. Love them here.Parking: Located in small strip mall. Vertical parking out front more in back.“

“If you are on the island anywhere, make a reservation at Sand Castle. Chef Noelle Grant is a magician with textures and flavors and her staff is attentive and respectful. The view is stellar. Every meal is a highlight of our annual vacation. Not to be missed!“

“To start my review, I just wish there were more stars in the food and service category. Trio deserves 10 ⭐'s for both.This restaurant handles two types of food service, restaurant seating and catering for small to large parties. I've now experienced both. My most recent was a repast after a funeral. When everyone is emotional, the last thing the family needs is problems with the food service. Well, in our case, more people showed up than were originally expected. The staff at Trio didn't miss a beat. They set up additional tables in a flash and quickly had the tables set. We had buffet style dining and the selection was outstanding, with something for everyone. From soup to nuts, everything was delicious. They had fish, beef, vegetarian selections and even offered coffee and dessert. (by the way, if I had known how good the desserts would've been, I might have eaten a little less dinner.)The service is impeccable, everything is clean and fresh, the linens and tablecloths were spotless.I'd like to add that Trio is on the grounds of the Holbrook Country Club. You can grab lunch and drinks after you play, just show up and they accommodate parties of all sizes. You won't be disappointed!“

“Owner and bartender James is one hell of bartender. I love the pina coladas. Food is great and served by great servers. I like the southwest chicken wrap. Be aware that it's a cash only bar. There's an atm inside. Also digging the new paint!“

“If you love the water and boating this is the place to sit and have a good meal with a great view. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the server was very attentive. We've been here before and will definitely returnParking: We valet parked“
