26 Best American Restaurants near Mastic

“Jimmy's is the best possible version of a solid, regular, old fashioned diner. The staff here is so incredibly nice, accommodating, and competent. We had a large group come in for brunch for my aunt's birthday. Despite the size, Jimmy's said it'd be no problem as long as we didn't mind waiting a little for a few tables to clear out. They managed to take all of our orders and get us food shockingly quickly.The food itself was all well prepared and delicious. If you are looking for a nice diner to stop by for breakfast or lunch, I could not recommend Jimmy's more. I hope I am in the area again so I can come back for another meal“

“My sister wanted to try JC’s restaurant after getting recommended by it by a coworker at first we were skeptical because of the area it was in but it turned out really good. It definitely exceeded my expectations. I got the steamed clams with garlic butter, jalapeños, celery and onion with some bread (you could add spaghetti to it) it was honestly the best steamed clams I ever had I would definitely get it again. My sister got a burger medium with a side of Mac and cheese the burger was really good, not too greasy really tasty cooked medium. We got dessert too, we got banana cheese cake and churros. The banana cake was okay it tasted like cheese cake more than it did banana. The churros was so good it was crispy but not crunchy and hard it was just the perfect amount of cinnamon not over powering just right with a scoop of ice cream and whipped cream it made the dessert prefect and is the best churros I’ve ever had coming from a person who always get churros as dessert wherever I go. Price wise it’s fair the match the food. And is definitely worth it. Custom service was really nice and attentive. All in all I would 100% recommend this place!“

“A charming, well-run restaurant that we are lucky to have in our town. Operated by wonderful people who make fabulous food. I can’t believe I waited so long to check it out. My father and I will be frequenting Wings Cafe for a long time to come.“

“At this point we’ve had 5 different orders. And all are awesome.Greek salad (x3 because it’s that good compared to anything else nearby… even all the Greek spots).Fish and chips (best I’ve had in quite a while, it’s a must try)Shrimp taco'sSteak bowlThe burgerWould recommend each of these!“

“We spent valentines at one of our favorite local places yesterday, it was really busy our reservation was at 7 the height of dinner rush. We enjoyed every aspect of JC’s from the hostess to the servers to the much needed delicious dinner and ambiance! We started with chicken nachos and garlic bread, main course we had Norwegian lamb chops on a mountain of potatoes yum! I ordered the panko chicken with baby rigatonis peas buratta in a sherry sauce and what a trip to flavor town! The food here never disappoints even when we order takeout it’s always delicious. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner what a lovely hard working lady! All that she does to provide the best experience shines bright through her staff and patrons. We tested out little cheese cakes that were outrageous I don’t even like cheesecake and I ate them at first not knowing what they were. they were creamy and yummy and delicious I didn’t know I could like something so much that I didn’t like anywhere else. The strawberry was Huge and I ate every last bit we were stuffed I had to take home almost half of my dinner which we ate today! Jcs you do a exemplary service to our town thank you for a wonderful night, my pictures don’t do your food justice but I’m posting them anyway lol!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I can’t say enough about this place. Been going here for a couple years with my family and it’s a great experience every time. The baked and steamed clams are top tier apps and you can’t go wrong with the tuna tacos either. For your entrees the salmon or bbq braised short rib are solid choices as well as any of their seafood dishes. Would highly recommend this little spot to anyone going on a date or going out with their family!“

“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.“

“If you can get past the extremely loud bar area to the quiet-ish dining room you'll enjoy yourself. The food is okay. Can tell a lot is cooked from frozen pre-made and overcharged but I guess that's business. Fish and chips clearly from frozen. Corn nuggets clearly from frozen. Disappointed in that because these things are not hard to make and I shouldn't really be paying $25 for a few frozen fish sticks.“

“Food is good and staff is nice, staff is young don't expect great service in the sense that they know the menu in depth. Friendly and kinda however, and also have a fun trivia night most Wednesdays. Don't buy their ramen though, ramen is my all time favorite food, I get it whenever I can. I live 5 minutes away from this place and never get their ramen cuz it's not very good. Great place for a burger and beer and to just hang out“

“This deli is so underrated! I can’t believe I’ve been so close the whole time and never heard of it! I decided to try after craving a gyro and was so impressed. I also ordered the bean and cheese pupusas which were fantastic. The spanish food is as authentic as it gets around here. Highly recommend this place!! Will most definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“You can't get better food for the price. They also have authentic German beer on tap. This is one of the few places where I will eat a steak because they cook them just as good if not better than me. I have a customer near the restaurant and eating here makes putting up with the traffic bearable.“

“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.“

“First time and definitely will not be my last!Matt, our server was great, informative and attentive. The food was amazing- I ordered lobster tail and Mac and cheese, flavorful and just right 10/10However, the hostess was not the most accommodating. We had asked to sit more towards the back and she said that the tables were reserved (restaurant wasn’t even full at 50% capacity).“

“Phil's was pretty nice. It's a decent sized place, the food was great. The waitress was forgetful,to the point she even forgot a whole order of ours. The kitchen had to rush making it so it wasn't exactly what we ordered but didn't want to send it back. Other little things were forgotten and had to be reminded of. The place wasn't too busy but maybe she was new. I understand being frazzled so it's no biggie. I will come back again and you should as well is worth a try like I said the food was very good.“

“We went camping here over Labor Day weekend. Our camping game is high (meaning we have lots of gear to make it super comfy), but trying to limit our equipment knowing that we have to carry everything from the ferry to the campsite was stressful. But we did it, and it was 100% worth it! Here is what we learned:It is buggy!! Bring Picaridin spray for the body. We had 2-6 oz cans between 5 people, and we used them both for the 5 day weekend. Spray tents with Sawyer insect repellent to keep the bugs away from the tents.If you have, bring a cart. It is quite a hike with your gear from ferry to campsite, and in the heat is it's not fun. You can borrow carts from the ferry station area. Ask the staff.Bring bungee chords to keep all your equipment in place on the cartsThere is camp store with all necessary supplies, but it is expensive. If you can organize and bring everything from mainland, it will be cheaper.There is boardwalk everywhere. Unless you are wilderness camping on the beach, you won't have to drag anything through sand (phew!!)Choosing a campsite: The map on the reserve america is not clear. Some campsites are two in an alcove area. If you are a group of two sites, you need to pick correctly. Site 10 is solo site. 11/12, 9/8, 7/6 are alcove, the others are in row next to each other. Unlike other campgrounds we have been to, these sites are on the smaller side. In our 11/12 site we luckily picked an alcove area, we had two sleeping tents and bug tent.There is a restaurant at the marina which becomes a disco on the weekend. The food is pretty good, cocktails are not bad!Beach is walking distance from the tents with a lifeguardLots of birds, and very chatty gray catbirds (bring ear plugs! I kid you not! One was right outside our tent at 5 am!!)It seems that a lot of families come back every year on the same weekend, and it felt like close community.National Parks have lots of activities during the day. On Monday they had a canoeing trip. You had to sign up the day of the trip to get a spot.Highly recommend, and we will make it an annual trip!I am not sure the glamping sites are worth the price but we have all camping gear. I can't speak of their comfort.“

“I ordered a door dash and the food was amazing. Still piping hot and everything so was so delicious my whole family ate in complete silence and there was not a crumb left. Definitely will be going in and placing some more future orders togo.“

“Awesome place, food and service was top shelf.And the price was super compared to the amount of food and drinks that were orderedParking: Located around back with plenty of spaceKid-friendliness: 2 Grandkids enjoyed the place and loved their food“

“I came late in the evening, traveling for business, and super hungry. Bistro 72 was a couple of minutes away from my hotel and therefore I decided to give it a shot.When super hungry I sometimes order too much food, which was the case here but I have to say both Nachos and Shrimp Tacos were super delicious and I’m happy that I found this hidden gem that is open until 11:00pm! Great for travelers! Cozy atmosphere and great staff, very professional and polite, like it should be!I highly recommend them and would definitely return it back in the area.Great job Bistro 72 ?Parking: Parking right in front of the restaurant.“

“The service was excellent and the food excellent, received in a timely manner. We went during restaurant week upon my son's suggestion since they've eaten there before. Very happy with his choice of painters, will definitely be back again, the steaks, scallops and everything was wonderful Michele the server was very attentive. A+++++“

“Whoever the breakfast chef was on 3/23/24 you really take pride in your cooking. I haven’t had eggs or any of the sides prepared like this in 20 years of dining out. Im 34. The eggs were cooked to perfection. Not a single dry mark on all of the various egg preps requested. Food came out in 12 mins. Friendlys is severely underestimated in this day and age. Our server Janeen was a blessing. Clear and loving. She went out of her way to ensure my son got a surprise birthday candle the day before his birthday.“

“My dad is a very picky eater with a small appetite. He ordered the senior tuna roll and fries. He ate everything on his plate, which is something I have not seen him do in years. The waitress let him take his ice cream to go. Very nice. Good job, Friendlys!!!! My mom and brother seemed to like their food. I liked my veggie burger and broccoli.“

“I went to Applebee's in Shirley with my daughter on April 6 and I wanted to order their chicken rice bowl. I really like it but I don't like the spices. I have recently been put on a diet with less salt and sugar so I asked my server if they could make it without the spices. He said he would try and he went out of his way to provide me with the best food and experience, he even went as far as to explain to me what he thought was really spicy and what he thought we should put on the side and omit. It turned out delicious and I appreciated so much him taking the time to talk to me. His name is Dereck N. and I truly appreciated him. Great job Applebee's Shirley.Dietary restrictions: I believe that there are very many healthy choices you can choose from if you are on a diet and they make it easy for you to change things so that it fits your needs. Unfortunately sometimes it can be hard to go out to dinner when you have restrictions and what Dereck did for me made it so much better for a person that is struggling with her eating habits.“

“My husband and I were out for a drive and decided to look for someplace to dine on the water. We came across this place by chance (Google) and couldn't have been more pleased. We arrived without a reservation and slightly underdressed; but were greeted by a delightful hostess, served by a very attentive staff, and the food was top notch. Our compliments to the chef. We look forward to returning.“
