“I love the atmosphere and the food and cocktails! I haven’t been for a very long time. I am handicap, I use a walker and sometimes a wheelchair and your place is not accessible The ramp is steep and you cannot get to the rest rooms. I’m sure you don’t have many complaints regarding this issue, but I would love to be able to enjoy your tiki bar/ restaurant once again. Thank you !“

“What a spectacular hidden gem of a restaurant! I'll go anywhere for a good duck breast, this place absolutely delivered 110%. Right amount of char, the seasoning, and it was cooked to perfection. Smoked salmon and burrata apps were delicious. We couldn't be happier with the very attentive service, quaint atmosphere - and the food was really on point for such an unassuming location. Also, the hot rice pudding with golden raisins was fantastic, as close to grandmas recipe as I can remember coming across! Keep up the spectacular work!“

“The best breakfast and price I have found in suffolk county!!!!!“

“Great staff! Hannah makes a great margarita!“

“Delicious breakfast, I really enjoyed it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent Brunch for Mother’s Day! We never go out to eat on Mother’s Day as the restaurants are usually too overwhelmed. I am so glad we came to Shands General this year. The service was excellent and everything was extremely coordinated. The food was delicious and our party of 6 had a great time. Highly Recommend!“

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

“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“

“A must go to you will not be disappointed!!!!“

“We were there for my friend's baby shower. The food was excellent and we got a large selection of dishes. Our waitress, Nicole, was an absolute rockstar!! She helped with set up, made sure everyone had what they needed, and even helped calm down my friend's nephew who was having a bit of a meltdown. Would 100% recommend anyone to have an event there!“

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

“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“

“We haven't been to Friday's in years and really only went to use a gift card. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The service was good and the music playing in the bar area was on point. All in all, a very good experience.“

“Great food, great atmosphere, and a friendly staff all at a reasonable price. Highly recommend The Rock Burger!“

“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.“

“I just ordered wings tonight through DoorDash. And there was a mix up with my order. But the kind lady from Atomic wings (miller place location) was so sweet and contacted DoorDash immediately to get in touch with me. Once I called she immediately apologized and insisted on personally delivering the correct order. There aren’t many kind people in the world, but that woman is a complete angel. I wish I had gotten her name to give her a shout out. But I can’t thank her enough for her kindness!!! I hope she sees this and knows how incredible she is!!!“

“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!“

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.

The staff was helpful and accommodating, the menu options were extensive and delish and the chic atmosphere was the perfect setting for the vibe we wanted to achieve. I highly recommend Bayberry for your next event or night out ❣️“

“Great cozy little place with the greatest staff and good food. It’s a must try“

“DELICIOUS food with wonderful, accommodating waitstaff. They always take my request to make the gnocchi with the hay & straw cream, mushroom snd truffle oil pasta sauce. I go here for birthdays celebrations to brunches as often as I can. Try their Malbec and flourless chocolate cake which is naturally gluten-free—in fact, their brunches have almost all gluten-free options. The coffee is smooth and just wonderful. The outdoor dining experience is as if you are at a party in Europe. They already see me often for 10 years—I love food and this gets my repeat business. Try it at least! See if it becomes a favorite of yours!“
