“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“

“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.“

“Nice experience, very different and eclectic menu that changes every Wednesday. But do have some house staples.“

“Great food, great service, reasonsble price.“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great music. Great people.“

“NOCO has quickly become our go-to date night spot. The food is absolutely delicious, the drinks are crafted perfectly, and the whole experience just feels special every time. We also want to highlight Livia, the bartender, who has taken such great care of us during our last two visits while sitting at the bar. She’s warm, knowledgeable, and her recommendations were spot-on. She genuinely made our time there even better. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!“

“I booked my mother’s birthday party here and from start to finish they were awesome to work with . Emily was so sweet and accommodating and the food is excellent. On the day of the party the staff was so attentive and went above and beyond -because of them the day was perfect . Thank you for a great experience !“

“I was greeted by the most pleasant, professional young lady named Ayanna. She immediately brought us to the table of our choice and then inform us that she would also be our server. She did not leave until she informed us of menu options that she thought we might be interested in and asked us if there was anything that we needed right away. When I told her to give us a little bit of time, she pleasantly agreed and did hesitate to frequently check on us to see if she could meet our needs. I ordered a cocktail for myself and a drink for my son, who accompanied me, and we placed our dinner order. Our food was served promptly and it was hot and delicious. Throughout dinner, she checked on us frequently to ensure we had everything that we needed. She also made pleasant conversation which I greatly appreciated as this was my first time at an Applebee’s location. She has gained you a customer for life. The food and the atmosphere was wonderful, but Ayanna definitely may be experience worthwhile.“

“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!!“

“I didn't even realize this Friday's was here, so many have closed that I used to frequent. Our server was Anthony B and he was lovely. He reviewed our entire order before walking away, our food was delicious and came quickly. He checked on us several times and a very pleasant attitude. We will definitely come back and I hope to see him again.“

“Absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was so yummy we didn't have time to snap a picture. Two pitchers of mimosa, huevos ranchero was perfect so delicious ? even the kid's chicken tenders and fries, they devoured it (I stole a tender too haha).Customer service here is top tier and our server was the best! The vibe is amazing, everyone was so friendly. Will definitely visit again!!“

“Sunday afternoon and we stopped in for a bite. Our server Charlie was very busy but did an awesome job. The food was really good. My dish pasta arrived hot and perfectly cooked. My wife's steak was tender and well seasoned. Very good experience“

“Last Wednesday I was at Davis vision works and we walk to the restaurant for lunch whem we get the we were standing up for almost 15 minutes waiting for someone to give us a table. finally whem someone come to us and without asking if we need a table rigth away he say is was 15 mint wait, me while the restaurant wasn't even packed it was a lot of table empty and even like that he was going to make us to wait more. really bad service and rude attention. we have money to pay it wasn't like we were asking for a free table. people are really racist at this place. I don't recommend“

“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!“

“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.“

“My family and I visited on Sunday, November 16, 2025, and had Gianna as our server. She greeted us with a smile and gave us time to decide what we wanted to order. She made appetizer recommendations, and we went with the loaded fries.

The main meal arrived HOT; maybe I should have waited just a minute to sample my skillet meal! Gianna was always available for us and made sure that our glasses were never empty. She is a valuable asset to Applebee's East Islip.

We WILL be asking to have Gianna as our server from now on!“

“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 .“

“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.“

“Enjoy every time we go delicious“
