50 Best American Restaurants near Locust Valley

“My dad took me to The Brass Rail for dinner a few weeks ago, and it was such a wonderful experience. I hadn't been back in a few years, but it immediately brought back so many great memories. I used to come here all the time for Sunday brunch, and it was so nice to return and be reminded of why I loved it so much.

The food was excellent, the service was attentive and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was just as welcoming as I remembered. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and made for a really enjoyable evening with my dad.

It's always special when a restaurant can maintain its quality over the years, and The Brass Rail certainly has. Looking forward to coming back again soon!“

We look fwd to coming back all the way from Uptown, NYC. I guarantee you’ll be mind blown with flavor. Come hungry 😋.“

“The food was incredible. Everyone enjoyed their meal.“

“West end has been one of our favorite places to dine for over 30 years. They have kept up the wonderful food and service even though Management has changed. The food was always outstanding and it hasn't changed. The service was always spot on and continues to be warm and caring. The four of had their prix fixed dinner and it was outstanding. The portions were the same size as the ala carte menu and the food was spot on. hadn't been there in a while because of some health issues but we will be regulars again as will our friends.“

“Food was excellent. Everything was fresh and well prepared.“

“It really just doesn't get any better“

“We actually never went to this location before, but had greatly enjoyed their prior second location in Port Washington. Expectaions were right on point. Food was excellent from appetizer to the main course. Maybe it's weird but I kind of respect even the small things like when a restaraunt offers to chose to serve in house brewed ice tea as opposed to something pre processed. The Brisket from todays specials list was perfect. This restaurant is 45min drive from home and well worth the trip. Thank You, we will be back.“

The experience was everything 💕I will definitely be coming back to try their delicious food.“

“Delicious food and great service!!“

“Denine was the absolute best waitress I have ever had. Trust me when I say she was the nicest, most polite, and genuine people I have ever met. Left such a good impression with all of us, and made the service and experience top tier. I have so many nice things to say, but most of all was so kind to us all. Will only be requesting her going forward. She deserves a promotion, a raise, and would be the best restaurant leader. Everyone should be like her. Thank you Denine.“

“We are very thankful to have had our daughter's 1st Holy Communion lunch at thyme. Pam and the entire team created a beautiful and bountiful celebration lunch. Our guests raved about the food - how fresh, plentiful and delicious everything was. We had several guests with dietary needs (peanut allergy, vegetarian) and Pam helped us craft a menu to accommodate our guests. The team for the day (Sean, Jon, and Natalya) were so attentive and we appreciate the staff and everyone behind the scenes that made the afternoon a lovely memory for our family and guests. We look forward to more celebrations and returning again to thyme!“

I'd definitely rent this place for an event, party!“

All of our glasses were served chilled, and the staff were extremely attentive and responsive despite the language barrier between us (I wish I spoke better Spanish and Portuguese!)“

“Husband & I were in the area & decided to stop in for lunch today & glad we did. I had the Lamb Gyro, came w/french fries & Beef Barley soup. Soup was delicious. Gyro had plenty of meat (lamb) w/lettuce, tomatoes & onions. All very fresh. Husband had Falafel which he said was absolutely delicious. We had a great lunch. The staff were very nice and attentive & restaurant was cheerful & clean. We will definitely be coming back to try their dinner next time. Highly recommend Opa Grille.“

“Cala Luna is by far the best restaurant in Mineola. Their lack of advertising and marketing keeps their business down. I recommend highly to anyone to try this place, they will not be disappointed.“

“Two door is amazing. They have a really good lunch service weekdays (burgers, grilled sandwiches, fries etc. It's not fancy but just really good honest food cooked to order. Chicken parmigiana on Thursday is a local phenomenon as are the Fish and Chips on Friday night. Both nights sell out fast. This place speaks for itself. There are few places with legitimate original character these days. Frequent them, embrace them and support them in all their rustic glory you'll be richer for the experience!“

“Amazing restaurant with outstanding food and breathtaking water views .“

“Great people, food and service“
