50 Best American Restaurants near Hauppauge

“Amazing food and service ! So glad I finally tried it . Took my family there for New Year’s Eve. It was perfect. Looking forward to going back.“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“We've had great experiences at Nu. It's a quiet spot, usually, and the food is really great. We always get filet mignon or their pork chop, which is fabulous. Their wine list is great, and the service is always top notch. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to service. I like to have great service but also be left alone, which is exactly what they do. The servers have always been attentive and professional. They know what to recommend and can advise you on the menu. I have to repeat. Their food is GREAT! although I do always order the filet mignon. It's the best .“

“Beautiful, fun spot with great food and cocktails!“

“I have been coming here for years. Every single time I have gotten nothing but fresh and delish grilled chicken ! The gyros are to die for. The spinach pie is out of this world. The people are so friendly and kind. The place is always so clean. I highly highly highly recommend this place !!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Best experience I have had in a while . Superb food! Had the crispy wings , excellent crust. Easy access with a comforting natural light tavern feel . Really enjoyed the steak sandwich , cooked to perfection, and I’m craving the stuffed vodka chicken parm dish. Definitely going back for the burgers. Great find , so glad I went . Impressive chef!“

“Best food I ever had is at your place“

“The food was excellent, and the bus staff was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our waitress was not very warm or inviting, which affected the overall experience. After she brought us the bill, we waited around 10 minutes for our card to be processed while she was doing side work, and eventually another staff member had to run it for us. It just felt a little odd to be left waiting that long when we were ready to pay and leave. Overall, the food was great, but the service could have been more welcoming and attentive.“

“Everything that my family have eaten from this amazing place has been delicious! Only one more item left to try which gives us a reason to go back ! Then plan to do a lot of replete orders.“

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

“There are diners and there is Peter Pan in Bay Shore at a level of great heights. My wife and I patiently waited for its reopening and our expectations were above and beyond what we expected. The decor is modern and beautiful, yet it has that warm at-home feel. The Menu consists of a variation of eclectic items that greatly touches the culinary senses with delight. Owners Nick and Peter are often present to greet the customers like old friends and the staff are very friendly, professional and thorough. From breakfast to lunch and dinner we have always enjoyed. And to boot, there is wide variety of beverages to meet all tastes.
Thank you for being a part of of our lives, Peter Pan. Looking forward to partaking in your delicious meals for years to come!“

“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!“

“We booked Lily's for a Bereavement Lunch. Holly and Lauren were wonderful in helping us plan the table areas, the menu, the photo displays and the logistics. We highly recommend booking the Irish Coffee Bar as an addition to the menu. It was a big hit for our family and friends to toast Slainte to our beloved. Noah, the bartender, was friendly and customer focused. Quinn managed the buffet station and desserts and also did a super job. We would absolutely select Lily's again for any special event. Awesome service and great food.“

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! ❤🎉✨“

“Service and cuisine was excellent. Staff was very friendly and eager to please.“

“Thank you for the great job they did for Juliana’s shower“

“Been eating at Applebee's all over Long Island for over 20 years. Definitely feels nostalgic eating here again, but I never felt compelled to leave a review until now.

Food is always amazing, definitely hits the spot. Late night half-off-apps, but we wanted to try some of their new items.

At the top, their new Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos were fantastic! I hope they stay on the menu.

Always wanted to try the O-M-Cheese Burger, and apparently all their burgers are cooked on a flat top. I prefer that vs grill, and the sizzling cheese plate definitely is a nice touch. Delicious!

Boneless wings are always good, a nice dependable standard. Love the Garlic Parm.

My all-time favorite, the Chicken Quesadilla. Still tastes the same as I remember as a teen.

Definitely don't skip this location, was super clean, food was great, and service was stellar. Big shoutout to Alex who exhibited excellent customer service the entire time. Management seems really tight there, will definitely come back.“

“We really enjoyed our meal! Our meals came cooked to order, hot and delicious. The atmosphere was so cool. My son loved all the car theme decor. The service was great, the server was very knowledgeable about the menu choice and helpful. We can't wait to go back!“

“food was good, drinks were good. very loud. Had a reservation for 20, only had seating for 16. understandable on a Friday night but frustrating. Took quite some time for them to figure out out.“

“Had a great experience here last night. The food was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed some of the best baked clams I’ve ever had. The drinks looked very creative as well. The skirt steak was tender and marinated in a delicious marinade. The service was helpful but it wasn’t a rushed experience by any means. The patio is dog friendly as well. I will be back!“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“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!!“

“good burger. clean. friendly. nobody annoyed me. that's a miracle“
