Made the mistake of coming on the last day they were open. They were out of almost everything on their New Year's Eve menu! What was served to us was dry and overcooked. Our favorite server tried his best to make an awkward situation better, but there was not much he could do. We even heard the manager telling a table to "finish up your desserts; we are closing in 10 minutes"! It was only 5:30pm! We hadn't even ordered our dessert yet so we got it to go. They were even out of ice cream which was supposed to come with the dessert. No discount at all for our inconvenience of not being able to order what we wanted. They should not have even taken reservations for that last night. Terrible, greedy management to let that happen! Sad ending to one of our former favorite restaurants.

Honestly it's been an amazing time as always. I'm really going to miss this place. I do hope another spot opens back up on Long Island. This restauraunt was truly a cornerstone of Long Island. Thank you to everyone for years of unforgettable experiences!

Once a year for my Birthday I enjoy having Prime Rib, it was just what I wanted, done perfectly medium rare, I could not have been happier, we had a wonderful waitress who did not rush us and the whole experience was great. We do try to get here at least once a month, but that Prime Rib was exceptional!!

Great location for those who want a quiet meal. Service is always outstanding. I really hope this location stays open as there is a rumor of it closing.
Ed
Fun time, as always. So sorry they are closing . Will continue to enjoy an easy fun time until that happens

The cheese stuffed chicken breast why dried out. Salad was wilted on the end. Dark and not inviting. Waiter was very nice though. Would not go back

Love this place. Food is always exceptional and service is always great. Hope the rumors of closing are false. This place will truly be missed if that is the case.

This is still one of the absolute best chain restaurants Long Island has to offer! My boyfriend and I stopped in for a quick bite before catching a movie at the local theater and were not sure we would be served and eat in time before the movie. However, we were pleasantly surprised! We sat at the bar and decided apps and a sandwich would probably be able to get cooked quickly. Luckily for us our food came out in a jiffy! The cauliflower bites were delicious and had the perfect kick to them. Additionally, the French onion soup was the ideal food for a chilly Friday night. My boyfriend also enjoyed his meal stating his sandwich hit the spot and was exactly what he needed after a long day at work. Finally, my mocktail had a great amount of tang and bite and really made our quick bite feel all the more elevated and sophisticated. We were happy our bill was about $40 and we could not have been happier to be served promptly and be on our way to the theater. Of note, it is a little dark inside, but it was also a Friday night, so that may just be their preferred aesthetic. Keep up the great work, Houlihans! We cannot wait to be back, hopefully in less of a hurry next time!

They have greatly scaled back on the menu. Just not what it used to be. Very disappointed.
We went to have a date night this Saturday afternoon, chose Houlihan’s. Great start, was very attentive at the start since our section was empty at the time of our seating . I ordered the fajita combination which brings both chicken and steak. Instead the server brought out the toppings and fajitas, no chicken, no steak. When we mentioned it to our waiter, he rudely stated that they were firing it up now. After 5 minutes the server brought out the chicken. ONLY the chicken. Combination has both chicken and steak ! We mentioned it to the waiter yet no apology or an explanation was given nor did we ever get the steak. They disregarded my order and gave us what they wanted to give us and ignored us. First and last time we chose this restaurant.

I go here at least twice a year as I live far away. The trip is well worth it. The food is good and I eat in peace.
