50 Best American Restaurants near Brentwood

“Been eating at Applebee's all over Long Island for over 20 years. Definitely feels nostalgic eating here again, but I never felt compelled to leave a review until now.

Food is always amazing, definitely hits the spot. Late night half-off-apps, but we wanted to try some of their new items.

At the top, their new Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos were fantastic! I hope they stay on the menu.

Always wanted to try the O-M-Cheese Burger, and apparently all their burgers are cooked on a flat top. I prefer that vs grill, and the sizzling cheese plate definitely is a nice touch. Delicious!

Boneless wings are always good, a nice dependable standard. Love the Garlic Parm.

My all-time favorite, the Chicken Quesadilla. Still tastes the same as I remember as a teen.

Definitely don't skip this location, was super clean, food was great, and service was stellar. Big shoutout to Alex who exhibited excellent customer service the entire time. Management seems really tight there, will definitely come back.“

“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.“

“I became a regular diner to Riley’s a couple of years ago. Gotta tell ya, the food is as good as any high restaurant I eat at and I dine out a lot. Fun, delicious, quality menu that has never once disappointed on any item, ever. Yes it is mostly basic pub food but so are 50% of the restaurants on Long Island now and Fibbers is perfect and priced more than fair. Can’t remember the servers but the two ladies are always right there, refills on drinks, food on time and always with a smile regardless how busy they are. Come back soon guys! You are the best of EI“

“Enjoy every time we go delicious“

“Great food, great atmosphere, and a friendly staff all at a reasonable price. Highly recommend The Rock Burger!“

“The food was excellent, and the bus staff was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our waitress was not very warm or inviting, which affected the overall experience. After she brought us the bill, we waited around 10 minutes for our card to be processed while she was doing side work, and eventually another staff member had to run it for us. It just felt a little odd to be left waiting that long when we were ready to pay and leave. Overall, the food was great, but the service could have been more welcoming and attentive.“

“update below: Went for a Disney bingo which was so fun but we ordered a special on the board (both the same) and we both got sick. I wrote and email expressing my concern , which they responded quickly and tried connecting on the phone but they dropped the ball and did not respond to my follow up call nor my follow up email week has gone by. It’s nice in there I would’ve considered returning.

Tim, the manager called again and we had a nice conversation that I much appreciated. Offered gift card which was very kind. Sometimes things happen, if I business is willing to make it right and show humility it’s a good business. I’ve updated this review in high hope of returning and having a good experience and updating to 5 stars!“

We will absolutely be using Lily's again in the future and recommending it to anyone looking for a venue.“

We each had the Grilled Salmon, Lobster and Shrimp Trio with Mashed potatoes loaded with Lobster Sauce on top and a side of their broccolli which was insanely delicious!!! We will most definitly coming back. Staff was very attentive and friendly and very accomodating. Thank You for such a wonderful experience!“

“Walk off the ferry in Ocean Beach and walk into the best restaurant on the Great South Bay. The location, service, and food are unsurpassed. The Curry Shrimp is spiced to perfection. It is a generous portion, but you will want more. Lunch or dinner is a Five Star experience.“

“I was invited here for a dinner by our Boss who is also an Honourable member of this club. This is place is truly beautiful. Nice water-view! Inside of the place is even more beautiful! Nicely decorated and very Private place! The food was delicious! I’ve tried their fried Calamari and crab cake. One of the best appetizers I’ve ever had! Their Grilled Salmon for the entrées is out of the world! Highly recommended place for dinner! If you know someone who’s the member of this club, try this place out! You won’t regret!“

“Great place for the kids and family. My son had an amazing birthday 🥳 we love this place.“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“excellent food, the service is awesome. Colleen was excellent. cocktails are awesome. they have unique specials.“

“I did a take out order at the East Islip location. The food was good but the super melts do not seem to have much meat on them like they use to. If the prices are going up with less portions that’s going to be a problem for Friendly’s. I would hate to see them go out of business because I love Friendlys too!!“

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

“Went to the Northport location this morning. I had the Tex-Mex Benny Bowl. Loved it! Something different, our server Karen was outstanding. Attentive, without being annoying. Even had my favorite hot sauce, highly recommend.“

“DELICIOUS food with wonderful, accommodating waitstaff. They always take my request to make the gnocchi with the hay & straw cream, mushroom snd truffle oil pasta sauce. I go here for birthdays celebrations to brunches as often as I can. Try their Malbec and flourless chocolate cake which is naturally gluten-free—in fact, their brunches have almost all gluten-free options. The coffee is smooth and just wonderful. The outdoor dining experience is as if you are at a party in Europe. They already see me often for 10 years—I love food and this gets my repeat business. Try it at least! See if it becomes a favorite of yours!“

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

“Amazing food!! We look forward to them coming to Dark Revolution every time! Thanks guys!!“

“Great food at a reasonable price. Outstanding wait staff and Danny the bartender is the best!“

“We had a wonderful time at this new restaurant. Thrilled to have it in the neighborhood. TJ our server was fantastic and throughout the night - service, food, and wine were spot on. Sure it’s a bit pricey but it’s Northport. What are you going to do? We wish only the best to the owner and her team. The owner was sure to stop by our table and all the tables to check in. Such nice attention to detail. We will most certainly be back.“

“Yesterday I had my daughter’s bridal shower at the Lakehouse. The event coordinator, Annalisa was a pleasure to work with. ALL of my guests raved about the food, service and atmosphere. Some of the men stayed and Annalisa set them up outside on the deck for lunch instead of inside the bar since it was a beautiful day. She also suggested having dessert served outside which could not have been better. My guests enjoyed the beautiful view and all of the outdoor seating. I would highly recommend having an event here.“

“Their Thai shrimp tacos are amazing !!!!! Best food truck in Long Island !“
