“This place is so great. Stumbled in just now and ordered an egg sandwich to take on the beach…and of course had no cash. No ATM card. Owner didn’t hesitate to say “no problem! Enjoy!” So classy! Made our day. This is my go to place at the beach in 2026! Best October beach day vibes ever!!!”

“Excellent food, oversized sandwiches, great service”

“Recently i heard about Bittermans bbq ...I have to say i havent had smoked ribs chicken that good in a long time ! The portions were large and the meats were moist/tender and some of the best ribs i have had in years...The coldslaw was excellent and the mashed potatoes was spot on...The owner gave me a sample of the chili pulled pork on my potatoes...These fellows know about real barbeque ...The sauce /vinegar was the perfect sauce for the chicken ribs ...Im looking forward to making another visit and trying their cornbread as well!”

“Amazing food”

“This is an appreciation post for Bruno, the kind gentleman working at the register. It's my first time eating at a Smashburger and I asked for a recommendation. This man did not disappoint. I mentioned liking chicken sandwiches, so without hesitation, he steered me towards the Scorchin Crispy Chicken Sandwich WITH regular mac and cheese on top, and it was... dare I say... SMASHING 🙌 He was attentive, knowledgeable, and, most of all, sincere. Great first experience, definitely recommend Smashburger and this location, mainly because of my main man Bruno 🙏”

“My goodness, we recently moved into the neighborhood and we have tried a few sushi joints in the past couple of months. We have tried Mr. J's several time and I must say, it's probably the best sushi in the area. The quality of the ingredients is very good, extremely fresh, they use very little rice so you can actually taste the ingredients, and they roll the sushi really tightly so that it doesn't fall apart if you breathe a little too close.

The owners are extremely friendly, the restaurant clearly focuses on the quality of their takeout since they don't have any tables, which is great because they can focus on cranking out bags and bags of orders. The more you order, they give you free rolls which is really nice. Even my kid, who is a little picky, crushes his spicy kani rolls, not a single grain of rice left, which makes me really happy. Nothing fancy, but they consistently serve great quality food and service with a friendly smile. Can't ask for anything more.

I am a little curious about the name, who's Mr. J? J-San would have made more sense but since they make good food, I'll respectfully call them whatever they want me to.”

“OUR WAITRESS DAYANA WAS THE WORST ALLTHE MONEY WE SPENT. HOW DARE SHE TREAT ME BAD. HER ATTITUDE WAS HORRIBLE SHE GOT THE WRONG ORDER BUT I EAT IT ANY WAY. TOO SLOW ON GETTING THE UTENSILS.

“Visiting my childhood home town from Boston. Childhood friend and I drove by Bayview Kitchen on our way home. Initially thought it was a kitchen reno store then realized it was a restaurant. Decided to try. Always up for adventure. What a WOW! Staff from entry to restraunt were warm and friendly. Love the decor sleek and so clean. Service was great. Now the important part..the food. We both had the j*** chicken tostada which was super delicious. Ingredients were so fresh.. Right amount of spice and ingredients with a nice kick. Got a chance to speak with owner and chef. They were so proud of their restaurant and looking to hear our thoughts on our meal. We told them it was extra special. They are looking to provide fresh quality soul food to the community and I would say they exceeded our expectations. Wishing them success and looking to return on my next visit to Amityville. The outside stone work decor is so beautiful. Thank you for a great food experience. Give this place a try I believe you will not be disappointed.”

“We celebrated my son’s 21st birthday yesterday and really enjoyed this hibachi experience! Ted and team were professional, friendly and provided a great entertainment to all! Thank you so much from our family!🎈🎊🎉”

“I love everything about this place. The cookies. The atmosphere, the wall with the huge cookie. The people there are extremely nice and I just love watching everyone bake their cookies, and they are very sanitary too!! Cookies are absolutely the best I come here very often. I threw up eating the large Reeces Peanut butter though. It was absolutely bomb but I just can’t take sugar like that.”

“I just had another amazing lunch at Zest. The portions are VERY generous and the food is always amazing. The chef is a culinary artist.”

“Random find for me, was at the thrift store and got hungry and decided to stop in but WOW! Best Indian food I’ve had on Long Island so far. Spice level crazy, not one bite was bland, all cooked and spiced to perfection. Thank you!!!”

“Yesterday was the first time I have been to Popei’s. What a great night! From the moment we walked in the owner/chef greeted us. We sat outside in the tent with the great musician. He was very interactive, took requests. People were singing along, It’s was very enjoyable. It was very clear our waitress, Janice was extremely busy but also very thorough careful and caring. It’s obvious she cares about what she is doing and works very hard. Upon my ordering, I mentioned a food allergy Janice double checked that things were OK before she submitted the order. 2 other people came to verify before cooking my meal. The food was SO GOOD! Big portion sizes. Gave my mother dessert to celebrate her birthday. Overall, it was an absolutely fantastic night. We will be back. My only suggestion would be when the musician is taking a break to lower the background music. When he wasn’t singing, the music was still incredibly loud and we had difficulty hearing each other at the table.”

“Got some tacos in the driving skeet. The tacos were terrific and the vibe was cheerful for such miserable weather. I probably would go here after dark, but I'm definitely coming back!”

“What a wonderful find Amazing Thai is.We have been there twice thus far and the food is fantastic. Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The owners Ken and Joy are so sweet and accommodating. If you love Thai food, Amazing Thai is a must try!”

“Today we had my daughter’s high school graduation party at Red Volpe ! it housed 50 people in their aide party room- we chose buffet style- we did cash bar - and it was AH amazing ! Salvatore (the owner) and his staff were on point ! Thirty teens plus the rest of the crowd can’t stop raving about the food - chicken francais- chicken parm - vodka pasta- caesar salad- rolls - mozzarella sticks- meatballs- we got to choose what we wanted and we designed the menu ! Sal scooped italian ices for dessert and I also brought in NoFoDoCo custom mini doughnuts. I sat in the bar area and Sal made amazing drinks- blueberry smash is one of my new faves ! We also created a little space for photo back drop ! This local place is a great addition to Bethpage and cannot wait to frequent it for dinners and lunches. I have also had their pizza which is delicious as well !”
