“So scrumptious I can taste the quality! First visit and it’s worth it! I will never go back to Burger King, McDonald’s nor Wendy’s ever again! It felt so good biting on a burger with no antibiotics or ammonia like other places in the past. What a gem this place is. And the music was perfect during my visit. Thanks for the stellar service to Jocelyn and Diana and Dominick and Tisha on my 1st, 2nd and 3rd visits!“

“Had lunch with my girlfriend yesterday and the food was incredible! Service was fast and professional and the restaurant was clean! Would highly recommend“

“We found Local Burger last year and have visited many times since. The food is delicious, the service is fantastic and the Owner, Alyssa truly cares about her customers. Last visit we had Kerri as our server and she really did great. We opted to sit in the back to avoid the Saturday night crowd. We were concerned the service might be slow because we were the only ones in the back but we were wrong. Kerri came back within the first 5 minutes to greet us and take our order, she was friendly and pleasant. Our drinks came back just a few short minutes later followed by our food shortly after. Kerri also came back pretty regularly to check on us. All in all, we had a great experience at Local Burger. If you want a good burger, I highly recommend you try it if you haven't already. Also, this is a small business so better to support them than the big, corporate chains that only care about money.“

“I'll start off by saying with only 1 person working the grill the guy deserves a medal for how fast he accommodated a family of 6. We tried pretty much the whole menu. I enjoyed the tots and fries but not crazy about the onion ring batter it was quite thick. Burgers were what you'd expect but the real star for me was the crispy chicken sandwhich. I got it with pickles, mayo and added pepper jack cheese - it was bomb.“

“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.“

“Great customer service and great onion rings“

“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.“

“The burgers are to die for!“

“Delicious home cooked Italian food. Relaxing warm and cosy atmosphere.“

“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“

“Great service & nice atmosphere ☺“

“Love the place Love the food Love the service Love it Love it 🥰“

“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.“

“These hamburgers made me find God. As a former devout atheist I’d previously pledged my life to cussing out Catholics in the smith-haven mall. But these hamburgers let me see the light. The exquisite delicacy that are these hamburgers left no room for wonder over whether God does or does not exist. He’s real, everything’s real, the one piece is real. Without these things, confections of this caliber would not -NAY, could not- exist. Biting into these juicy delights made me weep tears of joy, unlike the tears of sadness I shed when my wife left me for Tyrone. I want to thank the hamburger chefs here, the inventor of the hamburger, and God for my newfound faith.“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“Simply put, great!! High quality and taste too.“

“Food was great and our waitress Chloe was wonderful“

“This place just does it right! We keep stopping in and diving deeper into the menu and trying different things, we love all of them. Our 11 month old was with us this weekend and our server was awesome with him as well. Five stars for the food, the staff, the menu, the beer choices, and the local watering hole type of vibe the whole atmosphere has!“

“Lived near this place and drove past it a million times for 10 yrs now... never went in. My hubby has with friends a few times. Wanted to get a bite so I suggested going there... glad we did! The food was fantastic! Lots of friendly faces behind and at the bar. This just turned into our new go to!“

“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“

“Muy rico el desayuno 🥞 100% Recomendado“

“Nice spot. Quaint, good food, lovely staff… attended some great Sayville reunions here…. Really really wish you were open for lunch.“

“Stopped by Ends Meat Eats on a cold day, and man — this place hit the spot! I ordered the lobster burger and pulled pork tots with Dr Pepper BBQ sauce, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The lobster burger was buttery, perfectly seasoned, and loaded with flavor — you could tell it was made fresh and with care. The pulled pork tots? Unreal. Crispy on the outside, tender pulled pork inside, and that Dr Pepper BBQ sauce ties everything together with the perfect mix of sweet and smoky.

What really made the experience stand out was the owner — super friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the food. It honestly felt like eating at a friend’s house who just happens to be an incredible chef. Between the cozy vibes and amazing food, this spot turned a freezing day into one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

Highly recommend — Ends Meat Eats deserves all the love!“

“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!“

“Ive always love checkers since I was a kid and this location has always been a favor for people around here. There's a large outdoor sitting area. That's nice for lunch during the summer. Every time I go here, no matter what time of day the staff is always extremely friendly and put out the food quick too. You also have to try the fries !“

“The manager today was super friendly, food was good, loved the soda choices!“

“Their service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We were expecting less as it was a mini Burger King in side a convenience store by a gas station. They exceed or meet the food quality of a full-size store. We were asked if we needed any extra sauces with a smile. I have now found a stop on my route and will stop by again.“

“A true local sports bar with small-town vibes, cold beers, and TVs always tuned to the game — but don’t let the no-frills atmosphere fool you. This might be the best pub food on Long Island, and that’s a hill worth dying on.

The brisket sandwich is smoky and stacked, the Philly cheesesteak hits all the greasy, glorious notes you want… but let’s be clear: the pastrami sandwich is the main event. It’s piled high, ridiculously flavorful, and good enough to make you forget whatever team you’re rooting for is probably losing.

Come hungry, leave happy, and don’t expect anything fancy — just great food, strong local energy, and zero pretension. This is the kind of place that turns first-timers into regulars.“

“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“

“Shayna is the Best ! She’s at the drive through every time I go and she always greets me with a smile, great service and always makes sure my order is exactly how I asked. Go through the drive through and say Hi to her. You’ll be happy you did !“

“On a Tuesday in the evening for dinner, I went to Burger King to buy dinner for my family and a Hispanic women, I think her name is Rosalin and her personality is beautiful, she took my order perfectly and everything was beautifully organized, it was super clean, I was impressed at the sighting before my eyes, five stars would recommend, I loved my experience!“

“The chicken is so gooood 😋. I went to their spot in Selden, it was a really nice open clean space, very friendly staff. Food was ready and hot 🥵 and now they’re opening on in Huntington 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🎉“

“The food was just OK. The price of the little burgers is crazy expensive. The chicken rings are normally pretty good, this time they lacked flavor. Service was so, so, couldn't hear the person taking our order, so had no repour when she did interact with us, didn't even ask if we wanted sauces. For a bag of cheese burgers 10 baby burgers, and a bag of chicken rings and a small fish nuggets was like $30. Never see anyone in the restaurant. The night we went there was only 1 car in line.“

“It’s White Castle. The place has been around 100 F——n years. Need I say more? Everyone love the Castle. GO GET SOME!!!!!“

“Good food nice people me and my fiancé love Eating there“
