“Hubby and I went there last night for first time. Great experience, amazing food and nice crowd. This is going to be our new go to spot on fridays.“

“Been going every Tuesday for 3 1/2 years to jam with The Barrel Inn boys! Good times!!“

“A terrific neighborhood Bar! Friendly staff, good food. Named after a famous historical East Meadow tavern from the 1800’s and near its old location! Come join the fun group of locals that hang there! Highly recommended!“

“For people who like an environment with quiet music, playing pool and having a few drinks accompanied by friends and/or family, this is the place, a place where you can talk without the interruption of loud music, not yet. There is food service but it is a delicious place to enjoy after a long day of work“

“The grilled pork chops are out of this world! Plenty of food, reasonable prices, friendly staff.

ADDED in 2024 - This review was for Taste of Portugal, not the boar hat wings. Sorry to see that Taste of Portugal is gone, I'll miss the pork chops :(“

“1st time at Margaritas, and I loved it. The service was amazing. Staff so friendly and shared jokes with us. I ordered the Jalapeno margarita... My favorite drink, and it was so delicious, and my meal was the 3 tacos platter. The steak was so delicious. We also order the guacamole and it was made to perfection right at our table. I also loved how the staff even came out celebrating a patrons birthday with a song. Definitely coming back. Next time with hubby for date night ? “

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! The service was great. The food and drinks were great! Management was also very nice. The DJ had the tunes, I felt like dancing all night! Lol. The bourbon brown sugar wings were so dang good! & so were the Jamaican honey wings. Fried pickles had so much flavor!! The mojitos, rum punch, liquid marijuana were all so tasty! This was definitely a fun place to stop at for a night out. We will for sure be going back on the regular! 10/10 would recommend. :)“

“Great staff and atmosphere“

“My best friend lives in Queens so she and I come to the Onion Tree every other Friday night. I wish this place was closer to me. I live in Yonkers. The food is superb, seasoned extraordinarily. The chicken is fresh, soft and cut into small bites. I always order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, or chicken tikka pizza. I have never had food that I enjoyed this much and I have tried all foods all over the world. I never get tired of this place. And the food is served quickly and piping hot. They’re opening a second place in Manhattan. We’re getting closer to Yonkers!! The drinks are awesome too. Barbra and Louis work behind the bar. They’re friendly and great bartenders.“

“This place was so cool! Could sit here for hoooours, chill, work and have a good time! Cute lil place (well not too little because there’s even an upstairs) …but ahh so cute and nicely decorated ❤️

Nice menu and the food was fresh!

Had the BEC breakfast taco and americano ☕️ delicious 🫶🏽

“The Bar tenders and the owner are always very hospitable and welcoming- even to newcomers. It is a quintessential community institution - where even if you are new to the village, you will be made to feel at home! All are welcomed - there are board games and always sports on multiple TVs- I have been coming to this establishment through several different owners and name changes- but the current owner is the best by far!“

The Local Ale House is a great place to meet friends, listen to great music on the jukebox and it is a very clean and classy place to enjoy. I highly recommend this great pub to anybody of any age group. 👍“

“The food is incredible!! And so are the drinks 👍Both my husband and myself were stuffed when we left. Jeff had the turkey burger and I had the lobster roll I asked if he wanted to split our meals but he liked his too much lol I had to eat most of the lobster off the top so I could eat it like a sandwich Took the picture after I ate a good portion off the top Mark and his crew are the best! Thank u again ❤️❤️“

“Came to JP’s on a whim. Had just moved here to a Oceanside from Miami a few days ago. The place was kind of empty but we were pleasantly greeted by Chris who gave us great service and was quite funny. A great bartender for sure, I would come back here just for him. The drinks are very well priced compared to home. Overall a great little local spot. Thank you Chris!“

“The best Asian Bistro in town! I went for happy hour and the staff was so friendly. I had the soup dumplings and fresh sushi. Service was quick and easy. I highly recommend. The largest party room I’ve ever seen. I asked the manager and he said you can project anything on the screen on the wall. I will book my next event here.“
