48 Best Burger Restaurants near Middle Island

“This place has really good food!! I'm really picky too, it was so friggin good. They had a deal going where you choose your foods and they make you a platter/dish of food that I could not finish in one sitting, neither could my unc lol it was a lot of good food..did I mention it was only $7 a plate?! Usually $10, which is still totally worth it. I also tried their fries, OMG they're like Checkers Rallys fries but thicker!! So delicious and fresh!! All the food was fresh and the restaurant was immaculate. I will be going back here to eat. Hey, if you live near there...you're foolish to not eat there. I gave them 5⭐“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to the Tap Room (Patchogue) (specifically the Patchogue location). We were invited to a family party, buffet-style. I reached out to the restaurant via email, because I wanted to make sure they could accommodate my daughters food allergies -- eggs, soy, sunflower seeds, tree nuts and peanuts, or I would plan ahead and pack snacks she could safely eat instead. The Culinary Director, Joseph Walsh, called me the next day. He spoke to me for awhile, went over her food allergies, made some suggestions, and assured me that he would come up with something she could safely eat. The morning of the party, he sent me an email to confirm we were coming and his suggestions for a safe meal (rice and beans sauteed with bell peppers, chicken cutlet w/ no egg, and a mixed fruit salad). I emailed him back that just rice and beans and the fruit salad would be fine, because she doesn't eat chicken. He emailed me back, concerned that rice and beans and a fruit salad wouldn't be enough, but I assured him it would be fine because she's only 7 and has anxiety over trying new foods at restaurants (understandably), so sticking with rice and beans and fruit salad, which she's comfortable with, would be perfect. At the event, Joseph told my relative that he wanted to talk to us, and when we arrived, he came to introduce himself, told me that he was making sure everything was prepared separately and would be ready for her shortly. Absolutely fantastic service. We truly, truly appreciated all his care and effort, because that's sadly not the norm most of the time when we try to eat out. Thank you Joseph at the Tap Room in Patchogue!“

“Food is fresh and delicious! Prices are fair The only suggestion I can make is that the Mount Sinai location’s dining area is loud. Carpet or curtains might help lessen this issue Even so, the food and service is excellent and I highly recommend it!“

“Delicious breakfast, I really enjoyed it.“

“The food was very good. I had mussels which were great and the skirt steak that came with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables that was very good. The steak was cooked to my liking. My wife had the Mac & cheese bites and risotto with chicken that was great. Overall the food and server were excellent and I would recommend this place to friends and family.“

“Varney’s is awesome! Whether you go for a lobster roll and margarita in the summer or French onion soup in the winter, they just always knock it out of the park! Not to mention they have the BEST mussels - red or white!“

“Awesome burgers 🍔 the staff was wonderful and super helpful explaining the menu and their recommendations! We are burger snobs and this is top 5! Can’t wait to go back!!!“

“Everything! Spiro is such a nice guy. I live in Florida now and I sure miss Moriches Bay Diner! The make the BEST Goulash 😋“

“Had the pleasure of choosing Tara Inn for lunch today, every establishment can learn a lesson from the customer service that my friend and I experienced. Upon walking in we were greeted by Peter, Tara’s husband and son-in-law of the founder who named the bar for his daughter 47 years ago. We told him it was our first visit and he offered us seats and welcomed us. The regulars at the bar guided us through the menu and we each had a burger with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles for $1 per burger expecting very small burgers we were surprised to find them standard sized and deliciously prepared to medium. My friend had the fried shrimp and I had a $13 steamed lobster! Excellent! They offer daily specials and one of the gentleman at the bar told me their steaks are very good. Every staff person went out of their way to make us feel at home. A charismatic women came out from the back and introduced herself as Tara she thanked us for choosing to lunch there. Why can’t other places realize the importance of making a first time patron feel welcome. I
Had a great afternoon enjoying the excellent variety of beers that they provide on tap. The charming decor has probably changed little since the ‘70s and that adds to the vibe. If you want to go to the friendliest bar on Long Island, head over to Tara Inn.“

The highlight of my visit was the exceptional service provided by Riley. Riley was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making great recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. Her professionalism and genuine warmth made us feel valued and well taken care of throughout the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant not only for its delicious seafood but also for the outstanding service. I will definitely be returning soon!“

“Old fashionedOrdered the Bacon Old Fashioned.Knob Creek is the house Bourbon for thisThe brown sugar 'simple syrup' is a very prominent, forward, taste in this drink. Next time I would ask for different simple syrup, if they had it. It was just a tad bit too sweet for my liking. If you like" sweet, sweet", this is for you!Liked the oversized square ice cube..Does the job of keeping the Old Fashioned very,very cold..$14 is a good price for an Old Fashioned, these days.The burgerI didn't bother to count the amount of burgers on the menu( pictured), but there are a lot...I got the plainest one possible, as usual..The first one came out raw, and they cheeringlying, and apologieticly, brought me another one. They couldnt be nicer about it!!!.. I dont mind a tad under medium rare, but raw doesn't cut it for me ..It was good..You could tell they make it, in house.. It was a nice meat blendI got the pretzel roll as a choice of that, brioche, and sesame...meh..I'm starting to really dislike rolls..It added nothing to the burger. Maybe if they toasted it?Brie cheese is a new one for me..It was okay, and I liked it..I order the Garlic fries, as fries do not come with the burger...$6.50 for a very large order of fries.In the end, it was a good burger..$15Not in the Top Tier, by any stretch of the imagination, but a completely respectful burger.. Maybe top 25The 1st server, who took my order, and took the burger back to the kitchen, could not have been nicer! The second server, bartender, Natalie was very engaging, prompt, polite, professional, and humorous.Parking can get hinky in the Port...Sometimes it easy, other times, you wonder why you went there?..I was there at noon, on a Sunday, so it was easy“

“😀Great Burgers!!!!!! I'll be back!!“

“We love Brooke! Me and my friends come to this Applebee’s at least once a week, and she’s hands down one of the main reasons we keep coming back. Always friendly, on top of everything, and remembers our usuals like we’re regulars at a hometown diner. Brooke’s vibe is just unmatched—genuine, patient, and quick with a laugh. If you’re lucky enough to get her as your server, your night’s already a win. Give that girl a raise!!“

“everything! my son would say French Fry's and chicken Fry's. He absolutely loves them.“

“Amazing drinks music is awesome vibe is so great“

“Went this evening to DQ with my 3 year old niece. The staff were so super friendly to her. Service & food was great! The new manager came over to our table to introduce himself & make sure we were satisfied.“

“I don't eat fast food a lot, but the Burger King on Medford Ave in Patchogue is one of the few places I enjoy. The food is exactly what one would expect from such a franchise; not much to report there that people don't already know. What sets this restaurant apart is the team and the atmosphere. From the counterstaff to the manager, I am greeted with eagerness and a smile. And not one of those fake corporate smiles; they genuinely make me feel welcome. The service is fast and attentive to detail. The facility itself is also clean, and has comfortable seating with wifi and private nooks that make it a great place to sit down with my laptop to get some work done. My business, Vision Martial Arts, is just a few buildings down, and while I love it there, a quick change of scenery and a bite to nosh on is sometimes needed to get the entrepreneurial juices flowing. Glad we're neighbors!“

“I was their yesterday and I haven't been there in a while but I had a great experience starting with my waiter Traves, extremely professional and very accommodating gentleman, the food was delicious and very large portions, the beer was ice cold on a 96 degree day was awesome, I will definitely be back very soon and hopefully Traves will be my waiter, see you later JOEY C.“

“Visiting Hurricane's Bar and Grill in Port Jefferson was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere. The menu boasts a fantastic array of delicious dishes, from juicy burgers to mouthwatering seafood options, all prepared to perfection. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The cozy ambiance, combined with live music on select nights, added to the overall charm of this gem. We were blown away by the talented musician who entertained us throughout the evening, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. Whether you're looking for a casual dinner with friends or a lively night out, Hurricane's Bar and Grill is definitely the place to be in Port Jefferson. Highly recommended!“

“went with a large group last night and we were blown away on how accommodating they were. the food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“This Applebee’s is probably the nicest one I’ve ever been to!
Went as a large group for lunch, and didn’t call ahead (apologies wasn’t my idea!) but they were very accommodating and everything still came out fast.
The food was very good, and as I mentioned did not take long from order time to table. Portion sizes are also very large for the price! Looking at $10-$20 per person without drinks. (Average for our group was about $15 before drinks)
The waitress was very nice, and spent an appropriate amount of time checking on our table to refill drinks and see if we needed anything. Never felt like I had to ask for anything, and also served everyone a water which I always think is a nice touch.
Overall, great spot to grab lunch. The deals they have during the week also make it a great spot to go during a lunch break. Super sad I’m visiting as I’d love to come here again.“

“I am beyond impressed with the owners of this establishment and how they take such good care of their staff. These sisters go above and beyond to cater to all types of neurodiversity's. The restaurant is incredibly clean, the staff are so hard-working and dedicated. Extremely impressed. I highly recommend this location for a great place to work and a great place to eat. Five stars“

“I had an issue on uber eats where my food wasn’t made correctly from a separate location. I called and honestly wasn’t the kindest at first because I thought I wasted my money. Both the worker at the front and Kevin the owner were so so kind despite it and helped this issue and made me a new order for half off. They were extremely kind and caring and I apologized over and over for my mistake as I also didn’t realize it was a separate location. They were so kind and so helpful I really appreciate their help as well as how this was handled.“

“it's worth the extra few minutes to go here because the McDonald's in Mastic is horrible bad service and always get the order wrong.. never any issues in Moriches“

“I wish I could give it a full five stars but they tend to do worse when ordering delivery. In person, they're great. Delicious, fresh, hot, full five stars. Delivery brings it down to four stars, sadly. Somethings always missing, unfortunately. Like, I've ordered a coffee with meals via delivery and over the course of a dozen deliveries it's been missing every time.“
