“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!“

“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 :(“

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

“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“

“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. :)“

“Such a sweet little spot! Definitely a spot by for your afternoon bev. Love the constantly changing taps of beers, you get explore all styles. As someone who just likes to try new beers and hang out somewhere, this is the spot for it. I also appreciate them always having NY crafted beers.
The coffee in the morning is definitely a nice touch for your local morning caffeine needs for your commute to work!“

“Fun time at anniversary party yesterday.“

“Ask them about their chef’s table. Better than Manhattan!“

“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.“

“My husband and I love DOX. Not only do we love the atmosphere, the view, the food, and drinks but what we love the most are the staff! I wish I knew everyone's name because I would give them all a shout out. Our server, whom we have followed wherever she goes (that is probably one of the main reasons we frequent DOX now that I am thinking about it), Dana, is super! She is attentive and genuinely cares about her customers. She remembers our names, what we like to drink, and what we usually order for food. Dana makes us feel welcome every time we see her, with a smile on her face. Thank you Dana for always making us feel at home at DOX! Great job!“

What was supposed to be 2 rounds turned out to be all afternoon and into the evening. She made sure to keep us thoroughly entertained and hydrated. I highly recommend this bar and Sam as the bartender. We will be coming back...“

“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 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 ❤️❤️“
