My first time at this Long Island institution, got all there classics the baked clam and the marinated ribeye, I now understand why this place has been open forever. I was absolutely blown away by the steak such a unique and can not miss experience if your on the north fork

It’s small and the walls are butter cookie yellow. The food is amazing though.

Classic North fork restaurant that's been around most of my life.
Great food quaint atmosphere and the marinated steak is the way to go.
I went on a night where they had a special, and though everything was good, the steak was a little bit thin. It was tender and well seasoned and perfectly cooked as always, but I was a little disappointed. Next time I'm going for the porterhouse and reliving my childhood memories.
Another great option is their marinated burgers. I kind of think that Cliff or whoever is running the restaurant these days are kind of like that guy in the Stephen King novel about a guy who has a Time portal in the the basement of his Diner and can go back 30 years in time and source local grass-fed Non-Commercially steroid-filled beef. Their steaks and…and burgers are always top notch, and their red clam chowder is outstanding.
The weekly steak special is a great deal, but if you want the real elbow room experience, come and get the porterhouse or the New York strip you will not be disappointed. I recommend that if there are two of you one orders the marinated steak one orders the non-marinated steak. Then you can compare and decide. Then come back here and weigh in on your thoughts. For me? I'm normally a salt pepper only guy when it comes to steak, but at the elbow room I will only go marinated because it's the only place you can get that unique Elbow room black marinade.
A MUST visit.

We are originally from LI and have been to Cliffs Elbow Room many times when we lived here. We are here for Thanksgiving and going to the Elbow Room was something we were looking forward to. We ordered the marinated Porterhouse steak and it was so tough, you could hardly cut it. The place needs a good cleaning too. Please bring it back to what it used to be and serve good, tender and juicy steaks.

Oh my goodness this place is just amazing - awesome food and a cool old fashioned vibe to it! We are going back again in two weeks - already planned it - and can’t wait! Nancy was our server and she is nothing less than incredible!
Really good prices for all the food you get. We both got a marinated steak special that comes with 3 shrimp and a side - we got mashed potatoes and gravy. Also came with a house salad that we both ate every drop!

The food was so wholesome! The steak caprese salad was so delicious! The maple bacon smash burger with sweet potato fries was also amazing. The fries had cinnamon butter to dip with. So good. Service was fabulous. We ate at the bar and Jackie was so personable and kind. We will visit here again for sure.
The first hamburger I have had in years!!! It’s was amazing!!! So delicious!!

Steak was great the price wasn't. Extremely overpriced $50 for a steak. I have the marinade recipe so I do my own. crappy salad average french fries. So if you enjoy being overcharged in a place that crams you in hence its name be my guest.

Visited Cliff’s for Steak Night. We hadn’t been there for years, but have always regarded The Elbow Room as a great casual steakhouse. I ordered my steak medium rare. When it was served, I was shocked. It was literally less than a half inch thick, cooked gray all the way through and cut like shoe leather. Our waitress was wonderful. She brought it back saying she can’t understand why they cut the steak so thin. She returned with a steak that was marginally thicker and cooked to medium, which was fine. Good Restaurants shouldn’t bother with specials if what they serve is not up to their regular standards.

11/29/24 Jamesport Cliff's Elbow Room. I ordered a poterhouse steak ginger ale and my wife ordered a filet mignon and a maple old fashioned. I was served a porterhouse and my wife was given a SHELL steak. The filet mignon served did not look right so we questioned the waitress who insisted it was a filet mignon. When she returned 10 minues later to see how we were doing, we questioned her again and at that tume she checked with the kitchen and they had messed up and given my wife a SHELL steak that was not good at all...dry and tough. The porterhouse was not that good also. Next time we are looking for a great steak, we'll travel to a Scotto Brothers retaurant such as; Blackstone, Insignia or Rare 650. I suggest you do the same.
