“excelente calidad, buen servicio, entrega rápida“

“We haven't been to Friday's in years and really only went to use a gift card. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The service was good and the music playing in the bar area was on point. All in all, a very good experience.“

“Buen lugar limpio buen tratado alas personas“

“(Translated by Google) The food is delicious, and with the variety, there are options to eat local food, and also to be able to request an order to make at the moment, if you are passing through the town, I recommend that you try it.(Original)La comida es deliciosa, y al variedad, hay opciones de comer comida echa, y también poder pedir una orden para hacer en el momento, si estás pasando por el pueblo, lo recomiendo que lo prueben.“

“Didn’t order in person-but through DoorDash, and even then the customer service was amazing! A dasher had came and collected my food, confirming the order with the DoorDash app that they were here for my order to which they gave them my food-rightfully so. The dasher canceled the delivery resulting in another driver being sent out and the previous driver keeping my food. When the second driver got there the manager had called through DoorDash via the dashers phone and notified me that it had been stolen and the order should be canceled, refunded and put through again if I wanted. So I did that and reordered to which they called again and let me know that due to the inconvenience they’d be upgrading my drinks. I appreciate the care they took in remaking my second order and insuring it was properly delivered afterwards. As well as their amazing ability in resolving solutions even if they’re over the phone through DoorDash!“

“We love our McDonald’s ❤️❤️❤️Everyone is so nice and the food is great as always“

“Had a double smash with fries. 100 percent recommended. this place is awesome.“

“First time there tonight. We got the Third Rail chicken sandwich, a double cheeseburger, and tater tots. Delicious!!!!! Price is great and so is the food! We will definitely be back!“

“We love Cosmos! Their food is great, ice cream is amazing and the staff are all so nice! We’ve even had a birthday party there and the kids had such a good time. :)“

“Food, service, and atmosphere are perfect. Seated right away by a very nice hostess. Was explained thoroughly of all the specials occurring, and had my questions asked about the type of beef and how they cook them. They have new lunch specials which were the bomb. My girlfriend got the chicken taco special and I got the beef burger special. Burger was amazing and I was too full to try her tacos lol. The beef really is immaculate, and the potatoes are hand cut and soaked every morning for the fries.

If you’re in the outlets and you’re hungry don’t go to the other places… this is the spot!!! 🏆“

“Dinner with wife and friend. We all ordered burgers.“

“Amazing food and service ! So glad I finally tried it . Took my family there for New Year’s Eve. It was perfect. Looking forward to going back.“

“Holy smokes…literally! Dare I say the best BBQ I’ve ever had in New York? I’ve had ridiculous BBQ all over the country. This brisket is LEGIT!!! Maybe a top 2 or top 3 brisket I ever had. Passed the tug test with flying colors! If I had to nitpick anything it would only be a slight lack of a smoke ring? But the smoky flavor was definitely there and juicy AF! The ownership is amazing and super friendly! Your life will only be better after eating here. Y’all need this BBQ like now! Do it 🤌🏻👊🏻“

“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.“

“Had lunch with my girlfriend yesterday and the food was incredible! Service was fast and professional and the restaurant was clean! Would highly recommend“

“We tried the Classic Smashed Burger Tacos and the Mac Attack Burger at Burgerology — everything was seriously impressive. The sauces were perfectly balanced, the mac & cheese was incredible, and the burger tacos were absolutely amazing. Prices were very reasonable for the quality, the owner was extremely welcoming and attentive, and the staff were all super friendly. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re around Stony Brook.“

“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!!“

“Surprising find, never heard of them before we passed them while coming back from an appointment. We were late and starving - everything takes a tad longer to get because it's all made fresh per order, so patience (and time) is a consideration - but the food was bangin good. We liked their egg on burger options (something we do at home) and the meet was juicy and fresh.

Wish there was one near us in Nassau!“

“We went to Karvers with 30 people after a memorial service. Our waitress Rachel was friendly, exceptional, organized and very attentive. The food was a 10 out of 10. The quality, flavor and portions were perfect. You guys knocked it out of the park!!!“

“good burger. clean. friendly. nobody annoyed me. that's a miracle“

“Delicious home cooked Italian food. Relaxing warm and cosy atmosphere.“

“I absolutely love this Cafe! The food is ALWAYS fresh and very hearty. Everything I have gotten so far has been absolutely delicious. This is my go to place for lunch during the work week because they are very health conscience and reasonably priced. I particularly like ordering online where I can add or delete any of the ingredients to my liking. They have a huge selection of food so there is something for everyone. They have a Breakfast and Lunch menu that includes Omelets and platters of all kinds for breakfast, burgers, salads, wraps, paninis, soups, quesadillas, regular & fish tacos and vegetarian wraps and much more. You can even eat your lunch on an outside patio area. 10 out of 10.“

“Love this place!!! Decorated beyond for every holiday, great food and excellent service. My daughter’s compliments to the chef!!!! 🌹💞💌“

“I had a great experience at this burger spot! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The burgers were juicy, the fries were delicious, and everything came out hot and quickly.

What really stood out was the atmosphere. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and very welcoming. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in.

It’s refreshing to find a place that not only serves great food but also takes pride in providing excellent customer service and a comfortable dining environment. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great burger and a pleasant dining experience!“

“This place just does it right! We keep stopping in and diving deeper into the menu and trying different things, we love all of them. Our 11 month old was with us this weekend and our server was awesome with him as well. Five stars for the food, the staff, the menu, the beer choices, and the local watering hole type of vibe the whole atmosphere has!“

“food was good, drinks were good. very loud. Had a reservation for 20, only had seating for 16. understandable on a Friday night but frustrating. Took quite some time for them to figure out out.“

“Great customer service and great onion rings“

“The burgers are to die for!“

“Today I came to visit and have a quick bite! The burger was phenomenal! And what made the burger even better was the outstanding service from Thomas! His energy and attentiveness makes me want to come back! I live in Huntington but would come back just for the service alone! Thank you Peter Pan for a great early dinner!“

“Muy rico el desayuno 🥞 100% Recomendado“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“We are from Illinois and came here to watch the bears game. Food was good. Service was awesome. Waitress and bartender were totally awesome. I believe there names were Lauren and shalean ?“

“I'm always reluctant to go to this Applebee's because the service is usually so bad. But looks like a bunch a new servers were hired. Charlie came right over and asked for drinks, took our orders and everything went the way it's supposed to. Food was really good and the 2 for $25 deal was a good value.“

“Simply put, great!! High quality and taste too.“

“Food was great and our waitress Chloe was wonderful“

“Great service & nice atmosphere ☺“

“We always had a enjoy ihop in Vernon hill last time we went the waitress name Ramon was very attentive and respectful with taking our order absolutely recommended“

“Lived near this place and drove past it a million times for 10 yrs now... never went in. My hubby has with friends a few times. Wanted to get a bite so I suggested going there... glad we did! The food was fantastic! Lots of friendly faces behind and at the bar. This just turned into our new go to!“

“Foods ok for what it is. I think I like the fries better than McDonald's. They put these huge speed bumps in the driveway to stop people from using it as a cut through. They are too high and I believe they can damage low cars even at slow speeds. I think it's a bad move.“

“Chef Chelsea creates beautiful, delicious plates using only the best ingredients. If you miss Pentimento Restaurant you will Love Level Up Kitchen! Get ready for a culinary treat!“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“Best burger I had in s long long time. Thank you service was great too“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“Stopped by Ends Meat Eats on a cold day, and man — this place hit the spot! I ordered the lobster burger and pulled pork tots with Dr Pepper BBQ sauce, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The lobster burger was buttery, perfectly seasoned, and loaded with flavor — you could tell it was made fresh and with care. The pulled pork tots? Unreal. Crispy on the outside, tender pulled pork inside, and that Dr Pepper BBQ sauce ties everything together with the perfect mix of sweet and smoky.

What really made the experience stand out was the owner — super friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the food. It honestly felt like eating at a friend’s house who just happens to be an incredible chef. Between the cozy vibes and amazing food, this spot turned a freezing day into one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

Highly recommend — Ends Meat Eats deserves all the love!“

“Nice spot. Quaint, good food, lovely staff… attended some great Sayville reunions here…. Really really wish you were open for lunch.“

“*HALF OFF APPS AND TWO FOR 1 DRINKS DONT START TILL 10pm at East Islip location. Google will tell you 9pm but i suggest calling ahead to check your location beforehand especially if you plan on starving yourself beforehand!
*Update after waiting till 10PM and got the Wonton tacos of course. The spinach and artichoke dip and chciken quesdilla for half off! Plus a shirley temple. 25$ plus tip and tax. & The food was great for the price.
Way better then friendlys for the same price and bout the same as fridays for half the price.
Our waiter Jesse (male not sure if i spelled their name right sorry ) is so nice, understanding and just cool as heck he tried multiple times to get us our free app but the code wasnt working and thats ok i was full off the apps. If yall really want it you can ask to speak with the manager but i was honestly good . (Save it for next time if we get entrees.)
(We literally got there at 910PM)
He didnt make us feel pressured or bad for wanting to sit and just wait and even brought us waters. Just the nicest guy really! Thanka for takin care of us and treating us with respect we really appreciated it“
