“What a find! When a little snow scares off lesser cafes from opening, Hometown pulls up the slack. Old school rugged mindsets and hearty meals for more than reasonable prices.I'm glad my usual breakfast stop was closed, Hometown is my new favorite!Eggs bacon toast and coffee done right. Came out fast after ordering. You cant go wrong.Fabulous service. I noted everyone knew customers names as they entered. That is a great sign. It was like being at an aunts home or at Grandma's.Cozy place with a fireplace going too!Forget the diners, hometown is the perfect stop.“
“Waitress was really nice and accommodating.The food came out pretty fast.But even without extra jalapeños and BBQ sauce it was pretty bland.Think most of the food is from frozen so it's ok for the price. But my the kids Mac and cheese was dry and had no real cheese or flavor.The blackberry fribble was great I'm lactose intolerant and I suffered for it but I finished it haha.Overall great for dessert. But even with the kids menu and options, the food is lacking. Also the Mac and cheese bites are basically little mozzarella Nugs. Not Mac and cheese!Kid-friendliness: Great options for kids. But taste isn't great. I have a picky Eater she's eat plain foods but even hers was too bland. Dry Mac and cheese with no cheese at all. Basically just yellow macaroni. She added water to it. And asked where the cheese was ?“
“Without a doubt, this is one of the best Applebee's I've been to in a long time...The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. The staff is great as well. Friendly, and on point.The manager / bartender, Crystal, is a gem. Hardworking, outgoing, and a pleasure to talk to. I look forward to coming here after a long work dayto relax, have some beers at the bar, and a great meal.Keep it up! You're all doing a great job!“
“We were promptly shown to our table and the chef/owner came over to welcome us. The passion for his food was evident. The lobster bisque was highly recommended in the reviews and they were 100% right. The best I've had with big lumps of lobster meat. Everything else was as delicious and enjoyed by everyone. We will be back!“
“I always have the skirt steak..it’s my favorite steak. Hubby always has the filet.. Both are delicious. The onion soup is also very good. The Sangria is delish…They do have a price fix menu… which has both the skirt steak and the filet… always a fabulous meal..“
“Vegetarian options: Chef is always so wonderful when we ask to adjust popular apps to be vegan friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: My MIL is in a wheelchair and they always go above and beyond to make her happy and always find a place for her chair.“
“Best steak! Insignia who?????? Paces is the way to go, first they got the best bartender in town glean and the manager Patrick the manager one of the best persons I’ve meet in a restarunt as well, both treated me with respect and like family !! Deff will be back and food amazing and drinks are to die “
“We enjoyed dinner at The Linwood on Easter Sunday. Excellent service... great cocktails, delicious crispy cheese curds. Halibut was delicious! My husband had the sliders which he enjoyed. Two people had the gnocchi. My friend thought the gnocchi dish was good but a bit strong perhaps because of the chorizo. We drive from the north shore to the south shore for The Linwood... and we're never disappointed!“
“We had my sister’s baby shower here over the weekend & we’re thrilled with how everything came out. The party room is very spacious and comfortable. The food was delicious and the service was amazing! The staff was super attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend considering Nosh for your next party event!!“
“We've been to the Lake House many times. The food is always good. Service was good. I thought prices were very high as compared to the portion size. I don't know if I will be returning any time soon and judging by the relatively empty dining room, maybe many others feel the same way.“
“Spacious yet cozy. We came in the final hour before closing after attending a wake in the area, the staff were friendly hospitable and the food was fresh, plentiful and delicious. Happy to hear another location of The Shed, closer to me, is coming soon.“
“When you walk in, you immediately smell the BBQ in the air. Food is very good. Needed a vegetarian meal and was able to find a veggie burger on the menu that was delicious. Great atmosphere. Fun for a night out with friends or with the family. Bathrooms are not the greatest though.“
“We ALWAYS LOVE dining at RCD. The ambiance is awesome. The food flavors are masterfully paired. The service is friendly.I get the strawberry fields salad with chicken. My husband got The Who; I wanted to eat his too lol! The Truffle fries are everything good and more.The owner is pleasant. She has a passion for RCD and it shows. I enjoy our conversations.I continue to bring new guests and all leave happy and well-fed.You will love this place. I do!!!“
“I had my baby shower at Goldy's Gems in November of 2023 and was absolutely thrilled by the customer service, food and atmosphere. Our guests raved about the food and how their glass was never empty, thanks to the chef, servers/bartenders! It's such a trendy place and gives off awesome vibes. We enjoyed the shower so much, that we wanted to hold our son's Baptism at another one of the restaurant groups locations. We chose to have the event at Post Office cafe and once again they knocked our socks off. We were fans just on an ordinary day, so we just knew the events would be even better and we were right. Melissa, Chris, Chris and our servers/bartender once again were amazing in every way. During our planning we also found out they just had a renovation in our event room that made it look so bright and welcoming. The staff is extremely accommodating, especially on the day of when it comes to decor setup. We were able to bring our decor earlier in the day and then have someone set up about a half hour-hour early so that when our guests arrived all was in its place. The staff at Post Office even offered to assist with some setup as long as it was simple placement. If you are ever in need of an event space, I would highly suggest Post Office Cafe and Goldy's Gems or any restaurant in this restaurant group, you just can't go wrong!“
“Me and my partner went to this fine restaurant for our dinner this evening and we put expectations we're very much exceeded. Our server was Alyssa and she was awesome even though she was super busy she was able to be there whenever we needed her. We will definitely be back her soon, knowing that we feel welcomed with amazing service and great meals.“
“Monday through Thursday 3:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. full bar full menu even longer on like Friday and Saturday or something like that. Sunday might be like an early night I think. But nobody's open like they are. There's a crowd. There's ladies this dudes I mean I guess if that's what you're into hahaha lol. Great “
“Only got a coffee but it was very good. Place is not very spacious but atmosphere is great. Old school classic dinette. Not many places like this around anymore. Employees are very friendly. No gimmicks, no new wave fusion cuisine, no "modern" decor, just good food at a good price served by good people.Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely not getting a wheelchair in these tight quarters.“
“we had an incredibly romantic valentine's day at whalers. delicious cocktails, perfect food, beautiful setting. we were so happy we brought our parents back the following week and had another positively exquisite dining experience. thank you, whalers!“
“Food and drinks were great. Our waiter came to our table as soon as we were seated and checked in throughout our meal to see if we needed anything. The pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries was really good.Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant and restroom are both accessible.“
“We went for my Mom's birthday dinner and we had a good time. Our server Spencer was lovely and the place had a nice atmosphere despite the lighting. It was very empty this Sunday evening but it took quite a while for our meals to come. The food was great with decent portions for the price. The chicken meatballs were filling and the passion fizz drink was tasty.My mom got an orange and vanilla creme brulee for her birthday on the house that she absolutely enjoyed. Just wish they had more non pork options and meals more kid friendly on the menu (we weren't the only party with children while we were there so definitely considered a family friendly establishment).“
“I was actually at Flanigan‘s a week ago. Our food was delicious, the wine was very good, but the best part of the experience was the waitress, Sarah. She never stopped smiling, even though she was running around like crazy came over several times to make sure everything was fine. She is a very special server.“
“We held my sister's baby shower at Snapper Inn on March 10 and it was an amazing time. The staff were so helpful, kind, attentive, and accommodating. The food was delicious, possibly the best penne alla vodka I've ever had. We had a beautiful view of the water, as well. Everyone had a great time, I definitely recommend and would absolutely use this venue again. Thanks so much for everything!“
“Just had my sister's 70th surprise birthday here with 50 guests. Fantastic interior completely new interior open space with second floor dance lounge. Service and food were great. The owner has been in the bar - restaurant business for over 50 years in this area. Down the block from Long Island Railroad.“
“We had an awesome server. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We had 2 appetizers, the mushroom flatbread and burata. Our dinners were awesome also. So many nice things to say. They were both filling and delicious. We had an enjoyable evening and will gladly come back.“
“Great food, great service and cozy atmosphere!!! Love that place! We had such a nice evening with friends! Music is not too loud so you have have. Lovely conversation with your guests. Food is fresh and delicious. And also my Allagash White beer came nice and cold in a frosty glass! We'll be back again soon!“
“Never order the liquor. First, let me say the food is wonderful. The servers are quite kind. But again, DON'T ORDER THE LIQUOR. I asked for an Old Fashioned at first; I saw they had a collection of whiskey, so I figured it wouldn't be that big of an ask. Unfortunately, neither the server nor whoever they had working behind the counter seemed to know very much about making drinks. So instead I just ordered a Jack & Coke.$12.95 for a freaking Jack & Coke. That's insane! They'd make back the bottle in 3 drinks! Jack Daniels is NOT pricey. I've paid less for elevated cocktails in the city. And had they given me a good cocktail, I would've said that was a fair price. But no, they gave me a splash of jack with a heavy dose of soda. That's $8 max, not $12.95. I should've known better than to order it when I didn't see the liquor menu, I guess.Aside from that, the food is some of the best on the Island and the service is phenomenal. Tip 'em well, they deserve it.“
“Aji 53 was amazing all around from the moment we walked into the door until we left. The hostess, waitress, ambiance, food and presentation were impeccable! Everyone in my group had sushi, and I had the salmon teriyaki. Endings raved about their meals and cocktails. We'll definitely be back!“
“Stopped in here on a random Tuesday evening , and was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, atmosphere wasn’t too crowded nor dead. We were immediately seated and decided to try some food. We were impressed. Pricing not bad and portions were huge. We really enjoyed our stay and if in the area, we’d definitely “
“Just left and had a great meal. Sat at the bar and had wonderful service from the barmaid Justine. I had the boneless wings with oldbay which were awesome and for dinner I had the Cajun Chicken Caesar Wrap. It was great, bunch of chicken and great Caesar dressing which I'm guessing is homemade. I've had a few meals here and this is by far the best item on the menu!“
“I just love this family owned, well established restaurant. I was blown away by their Christmas decorations and open fire place. What a cozy place to eat. This doesn’t mention their food is always fresh and delicious!!! Great, convivial hosts as well. Would always recommend.“
“This is a woman owned business and she supports other local women owned businesses. The large, but cozy room in the back of the restaurant makes it a great place to have events. Thanks to the chef, who cooked 3 different types of pasta. In addition, the buffet style food was delicious. The waitresses were attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. The pictures were worth the visit.Parking: Large free parking lot is available in the back of the restaurant“
“We have been going to swolehouse for sometime now. Everytime we come here we are always greeted with a smile. The owner is so nice and all the employees there are just as knowledgeable! We usually go on Thursdays and the sweetest lady is working there. The meals taste absolutely amazing, along with their shakes! So happy we decided to try swolehouse! We are now hooked!Highly recommend“
“A hidden gem on Long Island. Everyone should know this place by now.Don't know where to start? Read the menu entirely, and you will know that the chowder soups are the best. Do not skip these soups. You'll want a bowl, not a cup, and even then, you'll be asking for seconds. Don't sleep on the seafood bisque either. Definitely buy some to take home.The appetizers were a bit small, but with the prices of everything these days, you get what you paid for. The crab cakes were delicious and full of crab while other places go heavy on the breading instead.We ended up having the shrimp boat, shrimp po boy, blackened catfish tacos and shrimp salad. Everything was flavorful. Big portions as well.I do believe they are closed for the month of February but I will be going back myself when it opens in March.“
“So glad we went! My wife and I came in thinking we would try the place out for hamburgers. Thanks to our superb waiter (I believe his name is Marty), he told us about the special that they had, and it was too good of a deal to pass up. The chicken sandwich was delicious, and truth be told would have been well worth it at the regular price, but as a special, it was a steal!For an app we decided to split the pretzel. It was quite large, had great dips to go along with it, and came out warm, fresh, and perfect.The chicken sandwich (we both ordered it) was flavorful and moist, and great sauces to accompany it, which we enjoyed with the French fries. We could not finish it all, but that did not stop us from enjoying the milk shakes at the end.I'm so grateful for the waiter telling us about the special, and he was extremely attentive and personable. I can honestly say he treated us as if we were dear friends, and could not have been better.Looking forward to going back and eventually trying the burgers, as they looked fantastic!!“
“I'll start off by saying I've come here 3 times in a 10 day span....I'm not proud of it but I am VERY happy to have finally tried this place. Standard pub/American sport bar feel, friendly staff and great food. I didn't even know I liked French dips until I came here. The sampler is great. While it's all your standard apps (wings/mozz sticks/potato skins/onion rings) they're all great. The loaded French dip is 5/5. Very happy to have finally come in here after wanting to try it for so long. They've definitely got themselves a new regular!“
“JTI's is thee BEST! I highly recommend this place! Nick and team helped us host a luncheon after my grandmothers funeral. They were incredibly easy to work with, extremely helpful, and always responsive. Their customer service is second to none and the food is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time.“
“I have to say I love this bar.. we feel like family when we go here. Atmosphere is great. Food is delicious, service is great.. they need more places like this around. There’s also a location in westbury. I definitely recommend the HONEY GLAZE WINGS! Delicious!!“
“My wife and I made a quick stop for coffee and dessert. This place didn't disappoint.My 7-Layer cake was freaking huge and delicious. My wife enjoyed her Carrot Cake as well. They even did a nice job on my Expresso.In addition, our server Jackie, was terrific!It's definitely worth stopping in for a wonderful diner experience.“

“I had a party with 50+ people and thanks to the efforts of my Hostess with the Mostess crew, it went off flawlessly! I was provided 2 servers and a bartender and they began working immediately upon arrival. They were all professional, courteous and extremely pro-active! I didn’t have to ask them to do anything-they simply took the initiative themselves! I highly recommend this company as this was not the first time I used them and have always been happy the day after!!“
“Food is great here. Had the cheesesteak Chiddys way. Amazing! Also had the Hot Dog with onions mustard and sauerkraut. I'm not sure if the bun was buttered but it was delicious. Also ordered Cheesesteak in a wrap instead of bun.Very good.Also ordered the chili, it was ok. I like my chili with a little more veggies and beans and a little more soupy. This was like an Italian meat sauce consistency and a bit too tomato-y if that makes sense . The place is cute and the staff was friendly and helpful in describing the food. Overall I would order again and will try other items.“
“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!!!“
“WOWZA. Tula’s was truly an experience that we will repeat! We were there for date night and my husband and I ordered the Mezza to share. OMG! It was fabulous-I loved the variety and tastes of this vegetarian platter. We had dinner and drinks and coffee and not 1 negative thing to say. Roman, our server was wonderful! They made our evening even more fun! Thank you!! Can’t wait to come back!!!Vegetarian options: I love the vegetarian and vegan options. I am mainly plant based but enjoy a fish when I go out. But knowing Tula’s has such an expansive vegan menu I will definitely be dining here more often.“
“Tricia's cafe is filled with a 50's museum like decor. Small but quaint, the food is absolutely delicious. Fresh made food, homey vibes, the servers treat you like you are part of the family. A small spot with plenty of flavor, love and good vibes. Definitely will be stopping by again next time I visit Robert Moses beach.P.S. Best steak quesadilla I have ever tried!“
“Phenomenal quick lunch late afternoon snack Open airy friendly clean accessible withampleparking Always beautifully decorated for all holidays. A must try Food is cooked fresh, pizza is piping hot and several options Vegetarians , GF, and traditional freshmade to order or a slice of pre-made if you prefer! Restaurant is nicely situated Bartender is friendly and welcoming too. Whether pizza or a hero or dinner everyone sits in same area!“
“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 ?“
“Been wanting to try this place for a long time & it’s a shame I slept on it. Food was amazing - so hard to decide what to get as so many menu options sounded great. Pizza was awesome, Martini Monday is a great deal. Can’t wait to return to try more entrees.“
“A very nice and decent sized restaurant, was not busy at all when I walked in for lunch, our waitress was very nice and the food I ordered was very tasty and filling. Can’t go wrong with this restaurant. I just came here for the first time in a while, and now, I need to come here more often.“
“love the staff here. So friendly and their vegan pizza is so good!!! They even keep vegan pizza for you to order by the sliceI normally get a Sicilian with half roasted red peppers with onions and the other half eggplant with garlic. It's so good and my non-vegan friends like it too.“
“The food is soooo good every single time. The service is really good which I feel like is missing in so many restaurants lately. I always have such a great time here. I called an hour before wanting to come in with 5 people and they were so accommodating and wonderful.“
“I ordered superbowl catered food from Riley Fibbers in East Islip. The whole process was seamless. I placed my order earlier in the week, paid, and was asked what time I'd like to pick my order up. When I arrived to pick up my order they had a server in charge of all the to go orders and everything was ready and waiting. All trays, and containers were clearly labeled. The portions were great and all the food was delicious. I frequent this location often knowing the large range of drinks and beer on tap, the owners and employees are great and pleasant, and all their food including their specials are always delicious! Go check them out, there are 2 locations in East Islip and Selden.“
