“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 !“

“What a spectacular hidden gem of a restaurant! I'll go anywhere for a good duck breast, this place absolutely delivered 110%. Right amount of char, the seasoning, and it was cooked to perfection. Smoked salmon and burrata apps were delicious. We couldn't be happier with the very attentive service, quaint atmosphere - and the food was really on point for such an unassuming location. Also, the hot rice pudding with golden raisins was fantastic, as close to grandmas recipe as I can remember coming across! Keep up the spectacular work!“

“The best breakfast and price I have found in suffolk county!!!!!“

“The restaurant food and service was very good. However, no one likes to be served a martini in a champagne glass. It’s like drinking out of a bowl of soup. You should serve your martinis in the proper glasses.“

“I became a regular diner to Riley’s a couple of years ago. Gotta tell ya, the food is as good as any high restaurant I eat at and I dine out a lot. Fun, delicious, quality menu that has never once disappointed on any item, ever. Yes it is mostly basic pub food but so are 50% of the restaurants on Long Island now and Fibbers is perfect and priced more than fair. Can’t remember the servers but the two ladies are always right there, refills on drinks, food on time and always with a smile regardless how busy they are. Come back soon guys! You are the best of EI“

“A must go to you will not be disappointed!!!!“

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

“I did a take out order at the East Islip location. The food was good but the super melts do not seem to have much meat on them like they use to. If the prices are going up with less portions that’s going to be a problem for Friendly’s. I would hate to see them go out of business because I love Friendlys too!!“

“We haven't been to Friday's in years and really only went to use a gift card. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The service was good and the music playing in the bar area was on point. All in all, a very good experience.“

“Excellent Brunch for Mother’s Day! We never go out to eat on Mother’s Day as the restaurants are usually too overwhelmed. I am so glad we came to Shands General this year. The service was excellent and everything was extremely coordinated. The food was delicious and our party of 6 had a great time. Highly Recommend!“

“update below: Went for a Disney bingo which was so fun but we ordered a special on the board (both the same) and we both got sick. I wrote and email expressing my concern , which they responded quickly and tried connecting on the phone but they dropped the ball and did not respond to my follow up call nor my follow up email week has gone by. It’s nice in there I would’ve considered returning.

Tim, the manager called again and we had a nice conversation that I much appreciated. Offered gift card which was very kind. Sometimes things happen, if I business is willing to make it right and show humility it’s a good business. I’ve updated this review in high hope of returning and having a good experience and updating to 5 stars!“

“Nicest people ever. Great bar and restaurant, service is fast, food is always good.

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 !!“

“We recently celebrated my daughter Sanaa’s Sweet 16 at Trio, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. The space was beautiful, well-maintained, and perfect for such a special occasion.

A special thank you to Elsa, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire planning process. She was professional, responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making sure every detail was just right. Her guidance and support helped make the planning stress-free, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day of the event.

Our guests had a fantastic time, and we received so many compliments on the venue. We are grateful for the outstanding service and would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a special event. Thank you for helping create such beautiful memories for our family! ❤🎉✨“

“I'm always reluctant to go to this Applebee's because the service is usually so bad. But looks like a bunch a new servers were hired. Charlie came right over and asked for drinks, took our orders and everything went the way it's supposed to. Food was really good and the 2 for $25 deal was a good value.“

“😋 Chef Charles for the evening was amazing. He made a fabulous 9 course meal for my husband and I. From setting a beatiful table with flowers to gourmet delicious food and leaving a perfectly cleaned up kitchen as if we ate out. However, having all the comforts of home. Not to mention his presentation of each dish was fabulous! Can't wait to have a big dinner party using chef! Thank you Chef Charles! Thank you our friend, Eva, for the beautiful gift of chef for the evening! Such a spectacular idea!“

“Watch Hill is a campground and glamping site inside Fire Island National Seashore, and it’s basically one of the most unique “nature stays” near New York City. You don’t get there by car—you take a ferry from Patchogue and then walk or use a wagon to reach your tent or campsite. The whole experience feels like a mix of beach escape, camping, and national park isolation.

It’s very popular in summer because of the ocean access, safari-style tents, and the fact that you’re staying right in a protected coastal wilderness area.“

“Location, location, location! Fabulous staff ! Fantastic food! Delicious cocktails what else could you ask for?“

“The food is delicious in large portions, waitress is attentive and knowledgeable, very nice atmosphere.“

“This place is exactly what you want in a breakfast spot. The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the home fries were crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the pancakes were light and fluffy.
Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Coffee stayed full, and our food came out quickly even though they were busy.“

“I have to visit when I’m the area. Very cozy and friendly place. The food is great!“

“Haven’t had a burger that good in quite a while…“

“*HALF OFF APPS AND TWO FOR 1 DRINKS DONT START TILL 10pm at East Islip location. Google will tell you 9pm but i suggest calling ahead to check your location beforehand especially if you plan on starving yourself beforehand!
*Update after waiting till 10PM and got the Wonton tacos of course. The spinach and artichoke dip and chciken quesdilla for half off! Plus a shirley temple. 25$ plus tip and tax. & The food was great for the price.
Way better then friendlys for the same price and bout the same as fridays for half the price.
Our waiter Jesse (male not sure if i spelled their name right sorry ) is so nice, understanding and just cool as heck he tried multiple times to get us our free app but the code wasnt working and thats ok i was full off the apps. If yall really want it you can ask to speak with the manager but i was honestly good . (Save it for next time if we get entrees.)
(We literally got there at 910PM)
He didnt make us feel pressured or bad for wanting to sit and just wait and even brought us waters. Just the nicest guy really! Thanka for takin care of us and treating us with respect we really appreciated it“

“My 9 year old had decompression and a duraplasty surgery at the beginning of the month. When we were discharged from PEDS ICU, claws was the first meal he requested. We absolutely love the lobster bisque. The lobsters rolls are so chunky and delicious. The crab cakes are divine. Now I’m starving. Thanks. lol“

“We went to Karvers with 30 people after a memorial service. Our waitress Rachel was friendly, exceptional, organized and very attentive. The food was a 10 out of 10. The quality, flavor and portions were perfect. You guys knocked it out of the park!!!“

“The best thing to do after arriving on the deck. Great atmosphere, simple great food. Wish they had pancakes and it would be perfect. The French Cinnamon is a must have. The burrito super nourishing. The granola very refreshing if you want some fruits. Cash only.

Warning: close at noon!“
