19 Best American Restaurants in Bay Shore

“I just had another amazing lunch at Zest. The portions are VERY generous and the food is always amazing. The chef is a culinary artist.“

“My daughter’s Bridal Shower was amazing…. We LOVE The Linwood❤️“

“Had the best private party experience! We booked my sister's 30th surprise party this past weekend and the staff was excellent and accommodating as well as the event coordinators we were in contact with prior to the event. I highly recommend booking a party here!“

“The tasty food options are always changing, with some favorite staples remaining. The cocktails are also seasonal, which I love. Ambience is cozy and quirky. They're in between locations right now so no liquor license, but they let us know ahead of time and we were more than happy to BYOB (and in my case a premixed Manhattan—they provided me with a coupe glass and ice to shake my cocktail). Looking forward to checking them out on Main Street soon.“

“the fish bowls are such a good drinking investment lol !!“

“I took my mom here as I wanted to take her out on a date together. My mom deserves to get out and enjoy the lovely weather we have been getting up in the Long Island area. We came to this spot (by the way it's called "American Standard"). I think the bar/restaurant change the name.This spot offers live music, we enjoyed a guitarist play during the course of our stay here.We ordered the alligator fritters as our appetizer and catfish poh boy with a burger that had all kinds of galore in it.The food was fantastic, very delicious. The alligator fritters was phenomenal. It's rare to find a bar/restaurant to offer alligator in this area as there aren't any alligators or crocodiles nearby. It was well cooked, not dry. The dish presentation was cute.The meal was very filling as the burgers came with fries or side salad. The poh boy came with the same option, but my mom ordered salad. The food portions were perfect.The spot also offers a wide selection of alcohol, including many choices of craft beer. I highly recommend coming here to have a good time. It's very causal.“

“My daughter and I had lunch here on a recent Friday afternoon. The food was delicious. The herb fries were hot and crispy, and the cheese sauce is so good!! We had a burger, a chicken panini, and we shared the cinnamon sugar donuts. We sat outside as the weather was still mild. Server was attentive and pleasant. Looking forward to returning.“

“Love John the bartender. Great food and atmosphere“

“Toby Keith once sang, “I love this bar” and I couldn’t agree more! Kitty’s has amazing bartenders, an awesome owner (Chris) and a rockin’ new menu! I always feel so welcome and at home when I come here, couldn’t ask for a better place to hang out. Whether you’re looking to lay low and grab dinner during the week after work, or have some fun on the weekend, Kitty Mulligan’s is the best option!“

“Great cozy little place with the greatest staff and good food. It’s a must try“

“My Husband and I stumble across this place tonight and couldn’t be happier about it! From the moment we walked through the door on a busy Saturday night at 7:00pm we walk in simply based on a great name! The hostess Deanna was lovely and welcoming we were able to sit right away! The food was absolutely amazing and so were the drinks!! But the star of the show was the staff our waitress Emily was the best we have ever had! Just the right amount of attentive that we never looked for her and always felt taking care up. The busser also did an amazing job never a dirty plate on our table. We go out alot and I can’t remember the last time a restaurant covered it all flawlessly Service drinks and food. We have already texted friend excited to bring them here! Can’t wait to come back keep up the amazing work!“

“Delicious cocktails and food! We all had a difficult time deciding on a meal, everything sound so good! Friendly helpful staff, would totally recommend!“

“Great food, drinks, atmosphere and live music venue.“

“You will not find a restaurant on fire Island that is better. From the food, the host, the bartenders, the food aervers. Our waiter Ben is the best in the business. Makes you feel welcome, one of the best waiters I have had in any restaurant experience. If I could give 10 stars to this restaurant, I would.“

“We came there last night with about 25-30 ppl to get food and drinks and Ryan was only bartender/server on. He handled it flawlessly, besides our group there was at least another 15-20 ppl here, no waited too long for anything Can’t say enough awesome things about service and food!!“

“I grabbed a Cheesesteak for lunch (without cheese). It seemed very at authentic like the ones in Philadelphia. Sliced steak, sauteed onions and peppers. The bread was awesome. It carried this sandwich well. Great filling meal. As good as the cheesesteaks in South Philly.“

“Love Sue and the amazingly wonderful collection of items she has curated. Her taste is the very best!“

“Your employee, Samantha in Bayshore was exceptional. She manages more tables than i usually see one waitress handle and did so without seeming rushed. She was personable snd efficient..“

“Just wanted to say a big thank you to our waitress Alexis. She took excellent care of us and made sure we ate. She could see we had a hard day, and she treated us with care and made us feel like we were her only patrons. It was a very sweet and caring, I can’t say how well she treated us. Made our day a little brighter.“
