50 Best American Restaurants near Melville

“🌸 Halston was Off the Hook this past Saturday night. Pauley greeted us with a smile and brought us over to The Big Beautiful Bar which was packed while our table was being prepared. The 3 Big TVs played 3 different sports games that held our attention along with conversing with the professional and friendly bartenders. Looking out into the main dining room was a sea of great steaks, varied drinks , appetizers and desserts. Individual festivities were all about. We started our night off with the wedge salad chopped that consisted of mouthwatering bacon bits & colorful small tomatoes. We also had the hummus as well. Speaking of being “Off the Hook” , our dinner choices for the night was around the Sushi selections- We had the night’s sushi special that was absolutely delicious and super fresh - it was by far the best sushi we have ever had anywhere. Along with that special we had the tuna tartare that was mixed with avocado and mango as well as the Halston Roll to round out our palate .. Leaving the best for last- our server Gina 💕was back from vacation and was a friendly face as always and helped make our dinner decisions very easy . We were surrounded by fun tables and The Halston was a buzz and definitely the place to be on a Saturday night . Great food Great People Beautiful place !!! Our Saturday night date night place for all the reasons above.“

“Have been coming here, sporadically, for past 20+ years. Servers work hard. Food is good if you are ordering basic diner fare; omelettes or sandwiches. The owner, a kind, older gentleman, tried his best to make us feel valued.
We will return here, out of loyalty to our neighborhood diner.“

“Their Thai shrimp tacos are amazing !!!!! Best food truck in Long Island !“

“I had an issue with my room facing the open atrium area and the noise level from the bar extending past quiet hour. The front desk manager, Stephen, immediately addressed my concern and moved me to a room in a more desirable location. I also found the front desk and concierge lounge employees to be very friendly and helpful. My room service attendant, Holly, made sure my order was as specified and she delivered it with a smile!! I really appreciated her kind demeanor. I felt my business mattered to everyone I came in contact with at this Marriott property and would not hesitate staying here again when my travels bring me back to Long Island.“

The bar/wait staff was both attentive and quick getting to all of us! The party was perfect right down to the music which they let us pick! Definitely having more events at the Library!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review

I hosted a party of 20 at Applebee’s, and the entire experience was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, organized, and incredibly accommodating. Handling a large group is never easy, but they made it look effortless.

Our server Alexandra went above and beyond, keeping drinks full, orders accurate, and everyone happy. The food came out quickly, hot, and perfectly cooked. Not a single mistake, which is impressive for such a big party! Every guest raved about both the service and the quality of the food.

The team Projwal Pradhan, Alexandra and Angel truly made our celebration smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. I’m so grateful for their professionalism and kindness. We will definitely be returning for future gatherings!

Highly recommend this location for any event or large group, top-notch service and delicious food! 🍽️✨“

“5/5 stars! We had an awesome experience at this place! Amazing food & cute yummy cocktails! This is my new go to spot!“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for years and if you’re looking for a friendly atmosphere for dinner or to watch your favorite team, Sal’s Place is the place to go. There is a separated dining area so you’re not just crammed by the bar. No pool table, no fights, no hassles. Food is good with a large variety of options plus specials. The staff busts their asses to make sure your needs are cared for. If you’ve never been here, give it try and I promise you it won’t be the last time you’re there.“

“Excellent local establishment. Good food, good drinks, excellent service.
The venue is located about 2 miles outside of the town of Woodstock and there are many options there for food and boarding.
The sound quality at the venue is excellent.“

“I wanted to Thank Everyone at the Sunrise Diner for all the years they made my Parents feel like family whenever they went there. My Father has since passed but my Sister took my Mother there today and they gave my Mom hugs, told her they loved her and how cute she was. I was in tears when I heard this from my Sister. I am so Happy that my Mom has this place to go to to get out and feel so loved by so many. Over the years the Sunrise Diner has been a very Happy Place to go to. The service is the best we've ever had. They've treated my Family like Family. I cannot thank the People at the Sunrise Diner enough! They mean so much to my Family. And you can't beat their food!!! I've never had a bad meal their. Love all of you. Hope to get back to Wantagh soon and see you all! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH♥️“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about them! Having an extremely busy schedule makes it challenging to stay on track with healthy eating, but Rachel makes it so easy! It’s accessible, affordable and delicious! She is Uber knowledgeable about every aspect regarding nutrition and she guided me through different “changes” in my body. Rachel & her team guide you along your journey (be it weight loss, maintenance or just plain ol’ being healthy!). I highly recommend everything this company has to offer!!“

“Great new family restaurant with fantastic vibes. Televisions everywhere. Great bar. Staff and owners create a family environment. We have been there twice in 1 week and they remembered us when we walked in the door the 2nd time. Rueben spring rolls were a must both trips as was the shepard's pie. Meals are huge! Prices are great.“
