The owner and his wife are the sweetest people! Unfortunately it was rainy and cold the day of our event but they went above and beyond to make sure the pizzas were flowing and stayed HOT throughout our 3 hr lunch span.“

Bar maids and wait staff are pleasant and attentive, some of which have been there many years. A very nice, community place to eat or have drinks.“

Awesome dive bar that is highly recommended if you want to hang with friends,listen to good music,eat great food and just unwind in one of the last dive bars around.Parking: Sometimes you aren’t allowed to park back if there is an issue with the towing company for that particular lot. Generally there is more than enough parking on the street the next bank of parking the street over which is literally 60 feet away.Wheelchair accessibility: Around back not the front entrance.“

“Outstanding! We went for Mother's Day. Party of 7. There was no outrageous Mothers Day offerings. Just straight off the menu with specials. Patrick was so accommodating and got us the best corner table. Ryan greeted us at the bar for drinks and was awesome while waiting for our preferred table. Alexandra and Katlin were amazing with service as was the rest of the table staff. Food was unbelievably good. This restaurant is simply the best!“

“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!“

“I have been coming here for business lunches since January 2024. I have NEVER been disappointed. The owner is very nice. The bartenders (especially Kayla and Nick) are as great as they come and very friendly and attentive. The waiters are nice, although when busy, the service is kind of slower (at the tables-as expected during rush times). I have had lunch both at the bar and at a table. My go-to meal is the lamb chops which are always amazing. Perfectly cooked and served with a dipping sauce. Other dishes of note that I order repeatedly are the Korean BBQ Wings, Caramelized Onion Flatbread, Steak Sandwich, Pork Chop, and Salmon. There are a lot of other choices on the menu that I haven't even tried yet. Every client or Vendor that I have dined with here was very impressed with the food and ambiance. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to eat in the Hauppauge area. I know I'm coming back!“

“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!“

“We are very pleased with the professional way Catering Manager Lisa Morgan packaged our catered order. Ms. Morgan made sure we had everything needed to make our celebration a success. The food was delicious!“

“THIS IS AN UPSCALE RESTAURANT, that has all the features of such. Including expensive dishes and drinks. But that's the point isn't it? You wouldn't go there if the prices were reasonable. The people that frequent this restaurant are proud to spend $100+ a head. And of course this is easily accomplished by purchasing appetizers, main dish, desserts, and of course multiple drinks.All this being said if you can afford it you will not be disappointed. Make reservations in advance.Kid-friendliness: Leave the kids with the sitter.Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure about wheelchair accessibility, but if I was in a wheelchair I would think this place would be too crowded.“

“Great chicken sandwiches, 3 different ones between us and everyone raved about them and drinks were great!“

“Beautiful steakhouse in Port Jefferson village. The waitress was very attentive. I have been here 3 times in the past 4 years so it's over a span of time. The service is consistent. The wait staff is outstanding whoever trains them kudos to them its rare lately to see consistently trained staff. The food is fantastic every single time. Every dish is executed outstanding. The specials the chef never disappoints!! Always creative with their dishes. Love the place!! If you are looking for a great place in Port Jefferson try this place. But try and get there early or make reservations. We went on a Saturday around 5pm and it wasn't too busy so we got a seat right away. We walked around Port after and when we went back to our car to leave at 7pm it was getting packed.Parking: It's Port Jefferson village if you get down to Port early you can find parking in the paid lots on the weekend if you don't go down early enough it's a struggle to find parkingKid-friendliness: I saw several tables with kids. It's a little expensive for kids but if you have the money why not.Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the ground floor do no stairs. There is ramps to get in and the staff is very accommodating so you shouldn't have any problems.“

“The food was great and being tthat it looked like they need more help. The server was great and very friendly“

“The service was excellent, as usual. Chris, our server, was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, pleasant and even had us laughing at times. Our meals were very good. Risotto, Chicken Milanese and the Chicken Schnitzel we all shared them amongst ourselves, they were that good. We were all very pleased with our meals.“

“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.“

“great burgers and super friendly staff“

“Came because of a recommendation for the wings from a friend. Got the boneless and the on bone. Golden Carolina and Honey BBQ flavored. Neither disappointed. They were fantastic! The coating stayed on, it was crispy, and tasted good. The sauces were very good tasting. The chicken was tender and juicy. I will be back.Parking: The lot gets packed pretty quick. You might have to park across the street.“

“Loved the atmosphere, the cottage pie.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice place in Port Jefferson Village, delicious coffee.“

We were impressed. Pricing not bad and portions were huge. We really enjoyed our stay and if in the area, we’d definitely return“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I had to make sure I hadn’t passed by the Pearly Gates and was dining with Saint Peter in heaven because this meal was the definition of perfection. You would think you were in Heaven. Everything was exemplary from the warm greeting upon our arrival, to the tasty seasoned bread that was immediately served. The wine list would meet any wine enthusiast’s expectations. Our adventure commenced with a first course of a soup, which was balanced with a cacophony of flavors that gave our palette an epicurean surprise. This was the first step in a journey that exceeded our humble imagination. The next course was a salad that set a wonderful standard for vegetables. The third course was a pork dish, so perfectly balanced and delectably resting on a risotto base. When we thought we couldn’t eat any more, they delivered the finest piece of filet mignon, so perfectly salted with sea salt seating on a chick pea curry seasoned mashed potatoes. The night concluded with a plate of dessert that could have been gifts from Mount Olympus, a collection of treats that the Royal Courts and Monarchs of Europe would have relished to feast upon. A delectable chocolate fruit cake, an Italian Bombilini cake with coconut rum cream and finally a raspberry cranberry tart with vanilla ice cream on top.The service was both sophisticated and amicable and friendly, as if we were dining with long time friends. Even the tap water, which was filter, was a wonderful surprise. We started with a carbonated natural spring water from Italy: Santa Barbara di Lurisia, which was a great choice. The entire evening, from soap to nuts, exceeded all expectations and created a memory that will stay with us until we can again return to discover what new gastronomic treasures await us.“

“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.“

“Joey is incredibly amiable and highly informed. He dedicates the time to ensure you receive the precise nutrition you need. Every meal is excellent. Be sure to try the peanut butter bomb!Parking: Accessible parking is available, with designated spots for those with disabilities.“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Absolutely and most definitely worth the hype! I love the cannoli stuffed french toast it's delicious and the coffee is also very tasty. It takes a while to come out but it's definitely worth the wait. We only waited 20 minutes to sit down which is normal. The place is super cute and the staff is friendly. I love the atmosphere and food! One of my favorite breakfast places!“

“We ate here last night and it was really delicious! They offer you stewed chicken when you first sit down and it was so delicious!! I’ve never had that a diner before. Our waitress was very sweet and very Efficient. We didn’t have to wait very long for our food. The dinner specials come with a salad, a soup and a dessert, which is a great deal! The atmosphere is nice and the diner is very clean! If you’re looking for a great diner experience, I highly recommend!“

“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 ?“

“We held my daughter’s first birthday party at blue blinds mansion in smithtown through husk and vine this past weekend and it was such an incredible experience! Maria and chef Francesco were phenomenal to work with throughout the whole party planning process and made sure everything went smoothly the day of. The staff that they have is absolutely amazing as soon as I walked in the door before the party they were ready to help and anything I asked of them they did immediately and responded with it’s your day whatever you need. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about the staff and how accommodating they were the entire day of the party. The food was amazing and it was the only venue I found that would allow me to set up all the things I wanted for the kids such as a bounce house, ball pit and crafts for the kids. If you are looking for somewhere to host an amazing party for any event blue blinds mansion with husk and vine is definitely the way to go!“

“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.“

“It is one of the most hidden gems on Long Island. If I tell you the food is so fresh. I mean you have to wait for it to come off fresh off the grill. The flavors are so mouth watering. Thank god it’s 25 mins from my home or I’d be there weekly. I do warn you that if you taste their tzatziki you can never go anywhere else. It’s to die for!!!“

“We stumbled on this restaurant when my Aunt Betty moved into her new Assisted Living residence nearby. Voila the Bistro has become our go-to for all celebrations, outings and most recently my mother's 97th birthday. The food is wonderful, their prix fixe lunch menu can't be beat, and the service and atmosphere are lovely. If you haven't been, it is definitely worth it -- and my tip to you -- get the chocolate bread pudding for dessert. Holy cow!“

“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!!!❤️“

“It was good, priced right. I wished the portions were a little bigger. Drinks were very good and 2 for 1“
