Good. Breakfast was awesome, service was busy and hard to get but they tried. Nice vibe on Sunday with a musician playing.Another cool night there. It was St Patty's day. We used the Habitat for Humanity card. Free beers and good food. The Irish Egg Rolls and the Veggie Quesadilla are delicious. It was loud and fun. Crazy night in Patchogue! Tell 'em Barsnobs sent ya.

Went out for my birthday this past weekend. Mozzarella sticks were fire and so was the music. Great crowd. Will definitely be going

Sweet Jesus. 8 doordash drivers standing around watching an employee who was completely lost packing orders. 30 tins of food sitting for over 20 minutes waiting to be packed. If your busy , turn your tablet off or change to busy mode which allows your more time to prepare.Inexperienced merchant *

Recently visited for breakfast and wasn’t a great experience.The restaurant had about 4 tables seated (though one was a 10 top)Hostess seated us and we waited for approx 20 minutes with no server coming to us before I asked the hostess if we could order drinks. Was told she was unable to do that and that they were understaffed. It appeared they had a bartender (maybe 3 or 4 customers at bar) a server, and a busser. 4 staff front of house including the hostess.We eventually order drinks which came more than 30 minutes after being seated. Since the hostess was unable to take a drink order, couldn’t the bartender have come out and taken drinks orders from tables to help the server out?One of the tables that sat 20 minutes after us received their food before we did, because the server seemed oblivious that we were seated before that table. (Maybe the hostess could have let him know?)Food arrived more than an hour after seating. Not ideal when you have 3 kids who at this point are fairly restless. Had I known this would’ve been the case, we would’ve gone elsewhere.As we had to go somewhere soon after receiving food, we ended up having to get boxes and take the food home (I don’t think 90 minutes for breakfast was an unreasonable time frame)To add insult, when the bill came, each of the kids meals were charged at more than the menu price. Not sure how that even happens with pricing already set on the point of sale system?I understand staffing is currently an issue these days, but a bit of communication to let us know before seating, and more importantly, between staff members to help each other out, would’ve been useful. There appeared to be no leadership or savvy amongst the team members to help each other out. The hostess, standing doing nothing despite it not being particularly busy, could easily have been helping the server, or at least communicating with the customers, rather than sitting staring into space.Unlikely to return unless there are significant improvements in service.

Tonight my daughter was asked to March in the Patchogue Day parade with a organization called Patchogue and Medford youth and community services.So we decided to head down a little bit earlier and hang out with my favorite dog rescue. The better man distilling company. New York Safe Haven Animal Rescue, Inc. is responsible for bringing my additional family member up from Puerto Rico. They rescue Sato dogs so keep them in mind if you decide to rescue. #adoptdontshopSo while down in Patchogue with a few friends decided to have dinner at The village idiot pub. Food is always great there and honestly on a night like tonight I didn't think we would get a table. Who knew they had a cute little back room with two larger tables in it and we took up one of them.As we sat down the waitress access for our drinks and even made a few beer recommendations. They had a banana bread beer that was out of this world but stupid me forgot to ask who the Brewer was. It was so good I really enjoyed it and should have had a second.There were six adults and the boy child. Overall consensus of the group said the food was fantastic.The three appetizers that were brought to the table were crab cakes a cup of soup and french onion.They actually serve the cup of soup in a coffee cup. It looked like it was full of noodles smelled delicious.The French onion soup was really good. I know this is it go to for this menu and the wife enjoyed it.The guy that ordered the crab cake said they were really tasty. It came with three on the plate and looked really good.The boy child ordered wings and even tried their atomic sauce. He really liked the heat offered on the atomic but there is a pepper in it that he doesn't love the flavor of. He still dipped his french fries in it and enjoyed it.Bill got a steak sandwich and he said it was really good. He said the steak was nice and tender.His wife got a cheeseburger and said it was really good.My friend Scott got a sandwich called the moe. It is a French dip with mozzarella cheese. You can either get it with gravy or au jus. He got it with gravy and said the gravy had a great flavor.His wife got a basket of boneless wings. When she asked how many were in it they said there is no count they just fill up the bowl and they definitely did. I think she even brought some home. I forgot to take a picture of these.I got a moe sandwich also. I can tell you the roast beef was cut thin and the au just was full of flavor. I totally enjoyed this sandwich and got them with chips. The chips are served with a chipotle ranch which had enough heat to not be boring but not overbearing.The wife got a Mediterranean flatbread. This greak flatbread was really an appetizer. It was a Greek salad on a flatbread with chicken. It was properly dressed and the wife said it had a great flavor.We always have a great time when we go to the village idiot. They are an awesome partner of this page and offered the discount without even questioning. I wish I caught our waitresses name as she was phenomenal. It might have been Stephanie but I'm not 100% sure. I would definitely request her again.The village idiot has three locations. They are in centereach, Oakdale, and of course Patchogue. well worth the trip.

The bartender/manager was very drunk and started calling customers fag0ts and a lady a stup!d sl u.T when they complained about getting wrong drinks. We had a great time but he ruined the night for everyone.P

First timer...went with my bestie, sat at the bar. Great atmosphere! We're long time pub fans, and we felt immediately at home. Bartender was amazing, recommended a great draft we've never had before. Friendly, attentive, made menu recommendations, immediately fixed a problem with our appetizer. I wish I had gotten her name..she was awesome.The food was OK....7 out of 10. Not bad, but not noteworthy. We shared a spinach dip app...was so cheesy hard on top, it wouldn't "dip". A reheat made it better, but it was still tough to handle. My lobster bisque was very generous with nice chunks of lobster, but kinda lacked the "bisque" element, and a little over salty. Chicken wings were dry. My pal just packed her entree to go, so can't comment. She was too over-cheesed by the spinach dip. All in all, would definitely go back. The drink, the staff, the atmosphere...all aces. Food? Will give it another shot with different choices..the place was too good otherwise not to try again.

Why are there onions on my Moe? Got take-out and had nothing to eat as I can't have onions. They also took a lot of my favorites off the menu. Sadly I won't be back.

I ordered a salad online. I was waiting to pick it up for 30 minutes. They kept walking past me and forgetting to check for my order. When I finally got it, items were missing. Great food and atmosphere, but not great for take out.
