50 Best American Restaurants near East Patchogue

“I love the atmosphere and the food and cocktails! I haven’t been for a very long time. I am handicap, I use a walker and sometimes a wheelchair and your place is not accessible The ramp is steep and you cannot get to the rest rooms. I’m sure you don’t have many complaints regarding this issue, but I would love to be able to enjoy your tiki bar/ restaurant once again. Thank you !“

“On a Saturday night, I decided to visit a restaurant that I had heard great things about. To my surprise, the restaurant was nearly empty, but it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences I've ever had.

Stepping inside, the restaurant exuded a different vibe right from the start. The ambiance music set the perfect tone – not too loud, not too soft. It was clear that this was a place where you could relax and have a conversation without any distractions.

The service was top-notch. The staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. It's no wonder that they have a 4.9-star rating – they truly deserve it.

Now, let's talk about the food. To start off, they brought out complimentary bread that was absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we ordered the ceviche, which was incredibly fresh and had a delightful kick reminiscent of Peruvian ceviche. We also tried the avocado crab salad, which had a unique and fantastic flavor profile. There was another appetizer, the name of which I can't recall, but I absolutely loved it.

When it came to our entrees, I sought a recommendation from our server who suggested the duck. It was an excellent choice – the duck was absolutely delicious. My partner opted for a lobster dish with sweet corn puree that was truly divine.

We couldn't resist trying a dessert, so we ordered the napoleon. Let me tell you, you HAVE to try it! It was simply amazing, and I still find myself dreaming about it.

To top it all off, the Owner/Chef was incredibly nice. He took the time to visit each table, ensuring that everything was running smoothly. This attention to detail truly made our dining experience remarkable.“

“Dined with Scot as our server Tues eve. The food was excellent, as it always is, and Scot made sure everything went smoothly. The appetizer came out quickly, and good pace between the app and the main course, which had generous portion and, as noted above, tasted great! He checked with us, and delivered drink refills as needed as well. We had a great time, and will certainly be back.“

“I had a wonderful afternoon with my best friend at the Mad Batter. It was my first visit and I was pleasantly surprised by the food, service and atmosphere. I appreciated the ample parking lot too. I think it would be a great place to bring young girls or to have an event like a bridal/baby shower.“

“I want to start by saying the buffalo chicken egg rolls are the best and I mean THE BEST Buffalo chicken egg rolls I have ever had. I got garlic parm wings as my main and they were also delicious. Came on a weekend and it was very busy with live music so make reservations!“

“First off I want to say I've been coming here for years and I just love coming here!! Everyone here is so nice and friendly which is why I always come back. The bartenders especially Kayla and Meagan truly are rockstars.
The food is always good and I really enjoy the atmosphere here and I will always be coming back
You have a really nice set of managers and the new general manager Jillian who took over the store is fantastic!!! She truly loves her staff and takes pride in her job and it shows!!!“

“It was great place to eat at too and good food also“

“I don’t normally post reviews, but this place was exceptional. The calamari was absolutely perfect! I tried something totally out of my comfort zone (short rib poutine) and it was delicious! The staff was very friendly. Place was packed, but service and food were amazing! My compliments to the chef!“

“The food is always fresh and deliciously prepared. Staff and owners are very friendly and accomodating for dietary restrictions (gluten free). Good bar too.“

“My mom and I hosted a baby shower here, just this past weekend, and we feel we need to scream from the rooftops just how amazing it was! The staff was phenomenal, anything we needed they were right there to help! The food was stellar and all of our guests were talking about how they wish they could load up to go containers from the buffet! If you ever have to throw an event, do yourself the favor and check them out! The owner is the nicest guy and really just went above and beyond to help make the shower perfect! If I could give more than 5 stars I would !!“

“Outstanding food ! Great value. Great staff! Go as soon as you can!!!“

“My new favorite restaurant! Everything is delicious and the staff is incredible.“

“Food was great. Kind of disappointed that I wasn't offered a refill to go when I asked for a to go box for my food. Guess the waitress was super busy.“

“This cozy spot on the golf course has left the best impressions! Hospitable staff, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide list of specials and wonderful variety. I recommend to everyone! It’s my go to for brunch with the kids and working lunches.“

“The Bellport offers great food in a very pleasant atmosphere. In addition it is in a nice location for a stroll to the marina afterwards.“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Lavasia during my visit, and she truly made the experience exceptional! From the moment we were seated, her friendly demeanor set the tone for a wonderful meal. She was incredibly attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always topped off and our meals arrived promptly.

What stood out most was her attention to detail, she remembered every special request we made and even went out of her way to offer helpful recommendations from the menu. Her professionalism and positive attitude made us feel welcome and valued as customers.

If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for her. She turned a good meal into a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and hope to be seated in her section again!“

“To start my review, I just wish there were more stars in the food and service category. Trio deserves 10 ⭐'s for both.This restaurant handles two types of food service, restaurant seating and catering for small to large parties. I've now experienced both. My most recent was a repast after a funeral. When everyone is emotional, the last thing the family needs is problems with the food service. Well, in our case, more people showed up than were originally expected. The staff at Trio didn't miss a beat. They set up additional tables in a flash and quickly had the tables set. We had buffet style dining and the selection was outstanding, with something for everyone. From soup to nuts, everything was delicious. They had fish, beef, vegetarian selections and even offered coffee and dessert. (by the way, if I had known how good the desserts would've been, I might have eaten a little less dinner.)The service is impeccable, everything is clean and fresh, the linens and tablecloths were spotless.I'd like to add that Trio is on the grounds of the Holbrook Country Club. You can grab lunch and drinks after you play, just show up and they accommodate parties of all sizes. You won't be disappointed!“

“Everything was so delicious“

“It's just an event space. Perfect for meetings and medium sized events. There was food served but it was catered by someone other then owners.

Parking: Location was difficult to find parking and the way the parking lot is very difficult to maneuver“

“Doreen Katen and her wonderful and professional associates and staff make renting your summer dream, or offering such a rental, a pleasant and easy experience. Expect a great experience, and you won't be disappointed.“

“Our meal at Chatter's was great! The service was top-notch, thanks to Amanda. The food was served quickly and the presentation was great. Amanda really impressed us with her customer service skills! Chatter's is lucky to have such a dedicated staff member.“

“This Applebee’s is probably the nicest one I’ve ever been to!
Went as a large group for lunch, and didn’t call ahead (apologies wasn’t my idea!) but they were very accommodating and everything still came out fast.
The food was very good, and as I mentioned did not take long from order time to table. Portion sizes are also very large for the price! Looking at $10-$20 per person without drinks. (Average for our group was about $15 before drinks)
The waitress was very nice, and spent an appropriate amount of time checking on our table to refill drinks and see if we needed anything. Never felt like I had to ask for anything, and also served everyone a water which I always think is a nice touch.
Overall, great spot to grab lunch. The deals they have during the week also make it a great spot to go during a lunch break. Super sad I’m visiting as I’d love to come here again.“

“Best heroes ever!!! Been going there for 30 years!!!“

“My family and I went backcountry camping in the wilderness section of the campground. The beach was beautiful with lots of interesting finds from the ocean! It can get very cold and windy, so keep that in mind when planning your attire and camp set up.

We also stumbled across an interesting arrangement of props that could either be a ritualistic site of a religion I don't know about or an art exhibit. Still pretty cool though!“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to the Tap Room (Patchogue) (specifically the Patchogue location). We were invited to a family party, buffet-style. I reached out to the restaurant via email, because I wanted to make sure they could accommodate my daughters food allergies -- eggs, soy, sunflower seeds, tree nuts and peanuts, or I would plan ahead and pack snacks she could safely eat instead. The Culinary Director, Joseph Walsh, called me the next day. He spoke to me for awhile, went over her food allergies, made some suggestions, and assured me that he would come up with something she could safely eat. The morning of the party, he sent me an email to confirm we were coming and his suggestions for a safe meal (rice and beans sauteed with bell peppers, chicken cutlet w/ no egg, and a mixed fruit salad). I emailed him back that just rice and beans and the fruit salad would be fine, because she doesn't eat chicken. He emailed me back, concerned that rice and beans and a fruit salad wouldn't be enough, but I assured him it would be fine because she's only 7 and has anxiety over trying new foods at restaurants (understandably), so sticking with rice and beans and fruit salad, which she's comfortable with, would be perfect. At the event, Joseph told my relative that he wanted to talk to us, and when we arrived, he came to introduce himself, told me that he was making sure everything was prepared separately and would be ready for her shortly. Absolutely fantastic service. We truly, truly appreciated all his care and effort, because that's sadly not the norm most of the time when we try to eat out. Thank you Joseph at the Tap Room in Patchogue!“

“Great place. Thank you from the US Military Vet MC“

“Amazing breakfast! Awesome owners! We will definitely be back“

“Waitress doubled tip that we left on card. The Friendly’s in Shirley - food was good. It appears the waitress doubled her tip (the tip usually gets posted to the card at and of day separate from bill which is posted immediately). She was young pleasant, light skin, light brown hair with patches of blue and green in her hair. No where near worth a 16 dollar tip.“

“Burger excellent with fresh ground beef, making it a cut above. Bisque so good as always. Glad I got 2 orders. Patrice was very personable and it's awesome to see that the even though there are a couple of enhancements, the place still feels the same, down to the music... nice to have the Stones and Aerosmith in the background while waiting for my Togo order. (A non Facebook user went earlier today and asked me to let you know that although it has a few years since his last visit, Twomorrows is still a great, dependable, delicious place!)“

“My boyfriend and I love going to Applebees every Friday. We went in today on Wednesday for a couple apps and got Heather as our server. She was absolutely wonderful and made our date night that much better! The food came out amazing (as always) and everything came out at the perfect timing. This Applebees is the best on long island and every time we go we are always pleased. 10/10“

“ordered through slice and no where did it mention that I was ordering personal Pizzas. Ordered 2 pies thinking it would be enough for the whole family. Ended up having to order another pie from else where. Checked their website and it doesn't say anything about the size of the pizza either. pizza was good but I feel robbed“

“My daughter, granddaughter and I went there for an early dinner. Our server Joanne and the food made our experience really nice. Thank you very much.“

“this place is a gem. the food is fresh and tasty. the people are friendly. variety of food...burgers, tacos, halal (tasty chicken over basmati rice with lettuce and toppings) ....too much to list.... we've ordered from here twice and will be going back often!! I want to try a vanilla milkshake soon. very easy to get to. no traffic to fight either. GO HERE!!! *****“

“Painter's does a great job decorating for the season & supporting the community. When you visit the staff is attentive & knowledgeable. We often hang at the bar for drinks and apps unless we have the fam with us. Both experiences have been enjoyable on multiple occasions. Would highly recommend for a nice comfortable night out. Date night or family night, this place works.“

“Just had my son’s 11th bday party there tonight. Everyone had a great time.. The VR area only had 1 head gear working out of the 4 which was kinda disappointing, and the sky ride line was like a 30 min wait. But other than those 2 things we will be back for an open play day ?“

“Damn good soft pretzel. It’s huge with a processed cheesy dipping sauce that reminds me of everything my mom wouldn’t let me eat as a child and the tastiest honey Dijon sauce I’ve ever had. We had to come back to get it a second time.
11/10 ambiance if you sit on the dock at the right time of day, super cool secret tiki bar and friendly service.“

“First time going. There was four of us. We all agree the drinks and service were excellent. All of the sandwiches were okay. They all could have used more cheese. They were only able to cook medium and more so those of us who prefer rare meat are out of luck. Two for one price on the drinks was great. We tried the Skrewball milkshake for dessert not realizing it was $13. A bit pricy. Overall it was a good experience. It was unusual that we were the only customers there on a Friday night from 5:30 to after 7. There were a couple of takeouts.“

“Great food great staff indoor outdoor dining“

“Excellent service. Great food. Frank is always a pleasure to deal with and honest“

“Exelente comida y Exelente servicio“

“We had to try Whiskey Neat in Patchogue after reading a negative review and the owners response!! Impressed that the owner stood up for his restaurant with a legitimate come back! The food was so good as well as the drinks, all served properly. My husband had the pastrami sandwich with a side of broccolini. I had the seared scallops with a side of roasted carrots. All of the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Nice to have some quality veges cooked to perfection. We definitely will be back! Unfortunately we left (9:15 PM) before the DJ was completely set up. Great job Whiskey Neat!!“

“The food was standard for applebees. Our server was not very attentive, nor did he care to provide any good service, yet is a "closer", which means that's the best they have to offer. The manager walks around clueless. What else to expect from an applebees I guess.“

“Second time here for lunch. Food was excellent. Very generous portions. Enjoyed Rueben sandwiches with a side salad, onion rings, pickle and delicious coleslaw. The onion rings were crispy. We really enjoyed them as well as the rest of our meal. Our server was also excellent. Friendly and attentive. Will definitely return.“

“Good, solid neighborhood bar, you can’t go wrong. Friendly staff, good drinks and food. Nice pub atmosphere.“
