I love restaurants that have been around for a while, I figure they must be doing something right. That is the case with the Modern Snack Bar since 1950. I finally got to eat here. This is one of the best Reubens that I've had, fabulous juicy lean corn beef that was well balanced with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. It hit the spot. The menu was a good mix of comfort foods and the atmosphere was the charming, wood paneled dining room and a counter as well. The service was great, making sure everything was spot on and all reasonably priced. Thank you!

Always an amazing meal. Feels like you're eating at a family members house and you're having home cooked food. The staff is very friendly and pleasant and provides fast excellent service. The fried chicken and the peach pie are amazing.

Just not the same as it was all those years ago,but what is?The food was bland and overcooked for my taste. The place was known for value,but we didn't see that at all. I'm glad we went back after all the years,but we won't be back. If I were you I would go and see for yourself, you may like it, but it wasn't our cup of tea any longer

We've been going there for decades, best soft shell crabs and best pies around.
Love this place!!!! Old fashioned; super clean, and the food and service are not notch . It's like going back in time where people actually cared about what they do, and it shows !! Highly recommend trying this out. You will be hooked on it .

It's always a treat to stop in here on my trips out to Riverhead with Mom. Had a chicken pot pie and was amazing. Completely filled with chicken and vegetables. Mom had crab cakes, and they were better than the crab cakes she got in Virginia Beach last week. Hers came with zucchini and mashed turnips. They are way better than mashed potatoes. Of course, we had to leave with 7 slices of pie. We couldn't even come close to eating it there because we were so full from lunch. We took home Lemon Meringue, 2 Salted Caramel Cheesecake, 2 Peanut butter cup Cheesecake and my favorite 2 Strawberry Rhubarb pie ?...mmmm
Service is always great there and you feel like you're dining in a relatives house more than a diner. There is nothing "Modern" about this place and feels very homey.
Parking: 20-30 (if not more) spots in the lot with 2 handicapped ♿️ parking spaces.

By far one of the best restaurants around. The food is like delicious home cooking. The desserts are amazing I highly recommend the prime rib . It’s a throwback when you walk in ,very nostalgic place.

I haven't been here in years. The food was great, the staff was very pleasant, and the service was quick. I don't think the decor had changed at all for a very long time, yet that was comforting. The prices certainly changed, but the meal was worth it.
Consistently good...for 74 years.
