Love bunker! Visited here on a Friday evening around 7pm. Plenty of tables with tvs all around. Don't have a picture but their Bavarian pretzel is one of the best!! Chicken tenders are crispy and French onion is delicious. Service is spot on always!

We came on a Sunday for a late lunch/early dinner and to watch the 1st playoff Rangers game. We had the garlic Parm and Buffalo wings which were amazing and the pretzel which is always a fan favorite!! Most of us had burgers which were so good and one had the Cobb salad which was also amazing. It wasn't crazy crowded which was nice especially when you are with kids so we weren't rushed and we could enjoy our food and the game! Will be back!

Been going here for near a year with my family and we love it here. They just adjusted the menu and the chef does great work. Alex is a great server who always takes care of us and does an amazing job. Great prices, great food and great service. Also great music.Kid-friendliness: Everyone has been super friendly when our daughter is there, to include the patrons. Everytime were there my daughter leaves a note and thanks for Alex.

Had a really bad experience, blonde bartender was wasted lost my friends credit card and then when asked about it tried to pretend it never happened. Tried to get help from management and they were not much help. Overall bad experience would not recommend coming here.

Food menu was slightly better than what you would expect from a pub. It was good, and fairly priced. Excellent beer selection. Service was fair to poor mainly because only one waitress was available for the entire dining room. We had to go to the hostess to ask for water, napkins and utensils. We waited 10- 15 mins just to get our check. Note to pay cash. They charge 4% extra for credit payments.

Nice bar.There are two areas inside - the bar area of course and there's another partition for dining in. We sat at the bar (in which you can eat as well).Now I won't pretend to be a beer connoisseur. Aside from 'cheap' beer, I'm more of a mixed drink guy. I don't know a thing about 'IPAs' or any of that. That being said, for those who do like beer, there are plenty of options in that regard. For those more like me with regular drinks, the bar had more than enough in selection.The lighting wasn't good, so I wasn't able to take menu snaps - but the menu had a good general selection. I went for the 'Thomas Jefferson' burger (w/ fries) and it was very tasty. I did see someone else order a Bavarian pretzel, so next time I'm here I'm going to have to try that. Really, the burger was so tasty I'd definitely try other things for sure.The bartenders were friendly, attentive, and frankly real good. The staff in general were all good.There were several TV's showing an assortment of things.This place shares the space with other businesses and there is a lot to park. The lot is a little smaller side, but you should be able to find a spot.Overall a comfortable place with a good staff and food/drink options - a nice bar in the area and one I'd easily return to.

Great atmosphere, and even better food! The spin dip is the best one I've had in a while. Perfect flavor, texture, and taste! The pear Gorgonzola salad was served in a healthy portion, and was so well balanced - shout-out to the dressing!! Great service, and would highly recommend this spot for lunch!

This place is a hidden gem. Prices are fantastic, food is amazing and very reasonably priced, the service was off the charts. Would highly recommend, Kristin and the rest of the staff were friendly and kind. 100% working this place into our rotation. Thanks for a great evening and will see you again soon. ??

Good food .... doesn't jump out at you as it is buried in a shopping mall. Patriotic Irish Bar...or a straight forward American tavern. Friendly wait staff slow paced but brought out some great food...burgers were juicy and delicious. If your in the area and have the time enjoy a good..very good

We had a business meeting in Wantagh, NY and had time for lunch. The choices were many, and incidentally we ended up at a place called Bunker Hill American Taproom ( It's on Wantagh Avenue, just north of route 27, on the left-hand side (going north). We peered through the entrance, not knowing what it was like inside, and found a posting proclaiming "Burger & Drink for $10". Ok then, we thought; "That sounds very reasonable deal - far better than the McDonalds, next door :)" We entered and found a very cool bar atmosphere. There were folks at the bar, large TV screens, and a nice sized dining area. I said to my wife; "This is a place I can see myself hanging out in." Mike greeted us and instructed us to pick any spot in the dining area, which we did. There were others having lunch, so we quickly felt at home. Mike followed us to our table and gave us the menu. Wow - They have quite a selection... mainly bar food, but a lot of variety, with some fine twists. I asked Mike about the place, asking; "What went on in the evenings and weekends? (it looked like fun)" He informed it was a popular place, with live music, and an extensive selection of beers on-tap... and he boasted with pride - great food. (And they have specials - see photo!) We told him we were in a bit of rush and wanted the Burger special. Within a short time, our amazing meal arrived! Not only was the burger meat perfectly cooked - and thick! - but I always note (and appreciate) when a restaurant takes care in selecting the bun for a burger - It was thick, with a bit of a crunch. The whole thing spoke of pride and the taste was incredible. I elected to have a salad, instead of fries, but my wife took the fries and said they were great. Anyway, that's our simple lunch experience. We recommend stopping by this place. We'll definitely be back! Thank you Mike!! PS - We did not tell Mike we would post a review before-hand.

Just ordered a bacon cheeseburger- no bacon. Burger was raw and that was after I put in the microwave for 40 seconds b/c the cheese was not melted. Called to let them know this, no answer. Its a shame. I used to love this
