50 Best American Restaurants near Oakdale

“I want to start by saying the buffalo chicken egg rolls are the best and I mean THE BEST Buffalo chicken egg rolls I have ever had. I got garlic parm wings as my main and they were also delicious. Came on a weekend and it was very busy with live music so make reservations!“

“Great food great staff indoor outdoor dining“

“The food is delicious in large portions, waitress is attentive and knowledgeable, very nice atmosphere.“

“#weddingplanning Here is your luxury wedding venue with a million dollar View. No pun intended. Jonathan Berrios & James Hann made the planning and execution of the day so easy. And here is a secret...It was affordable. The food was incredible and plentiful. Great Chefs. Another secret...add the raw oyster station. We went with 100% out of doors and it was spectacular. Fits 100 easily. Places for shade and sun and a great gazebo for the ceremony. We can't recommend it more. We did our wedding but this could have been a 50th birthday just as easily. Another secret is bring your own acoustic player for the music. We had a friend play and it really set the mood for the day. So, The View in Oakdale is a perfect spot to start a life together, party for someone reaching a milestone or hell, just a great happy hour with friends on the water.“

“Very relaxing cozy tea room, delicious deserts and finger sandwiches, many teas to choose“

“I just had another amazing lunch at Zest. The portions are VERY generous and the food is always amazing. The chef is a culinary artist.“

“I was greeted by the most pleasant, professional young lady named Ayanna. She immediately brought us to the table of our choice and then inform us that she would also be our server. She did not leave until she informed us of menu options that she thought we might be interested in and asked us if there was anything that we needed right away. When I told her to give us a little bit of time, she pleasantly agreed and did hesitate to frequently check on us to see if she could meet our needs. I ordered a cocktail for myself and a drink for my son, who accompanied me, and we placed our dinner order. Our food was served promptly and it was hot and delicious. Throughout dinner, she checked on us frequently to ensure we had everything that we needed. She also made pleasant conversation which I greatly appreciated as this was my first time at an Applebee’s location. She has gained you a customer for life. The food and the atmosphere was wonderful, but Ayanna definitely may be experience worthwhile.“

“Love this bar so much. My friends and I go there all the time after our gigs, and the server Joanne always takes such good care of us. The food is delicious, the vibes are cozy, and everything is super clean. A great place to have a drink or bring your loved ones!

Vegetarian options: Not a veg heavy menu, but I'm sure if you asked for options they would make something for you. It's just that kind of place.

Parking: Parking can be tough, especially on the weekends.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly“

“Delicious breakfast, I really enjoyed it.“

“great food. and good ambiance.“

“Had the best private party experience! We booked my sister's 30th surprise party this past weekend and the staff was excellent and accommodating as well as the event coordinators we were in contact with prior to the event. I highly recommend booking a party here!“

“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!!“

“Visited NoCo for the first time Sunday. A great dining experience. We go out for dinner quite often and this is one of the BEST! Very professional staff. Annise the manager is definitely an asset to this restaurant. We had the watermelon salad and the fig salad. We had prime pork chops for dinner. Gelato and pecan pie for dessert. Everything was ABSOLUTELY delicious. Will definitely revisit and probably become a regular!!!!!“

“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.“

“Husk and Vine has been our go-to date night spot for years, so when it came time to plan my mother’s 70th birthday celebration, we knew exactly who to call—Chef Fran.
We wanted a Polynesian-themed menu, and if anyone could bring that vision to life, it was the Husk and Vine team. Chef Fran and his culinary staff are known for their creativity and fusion, and they absolutely delivered.

Chef took the time to listen to our ideas and dietary needs, crafting a menu that tied everything together beautifully. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was!

If you haven’t visited Husk and Vine yet, make sure you do. It’s truly a must-visit experience.“

“good burger. clean. friendly. nobody annoyed me. that's a miracle“

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

“BEST WINGS (simplest way to put it) Discovered them out East and now they're in Islip. Anthony's wings will ruin everybody else's. Crispy without being greasy and sauces are A+++. Go there.“

“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.“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great music. Great people.“

“The tasty food options are always changing, with some favorite staples remaining. The cocktails are also seasonal, which I love. Ambience is cozy and quirky. They're in between locations right now so no liquor license, but they let us know ahead of time and we were more than happy to BYOB (and in my case a premixed Manhattan—they provided me with a coupe glass and ice to shake my cocktail). Looking forward to checking them out on Main Street soon.“

“Sunday afternoon and we stopped in for a bite. Our server Charlie was very busy but did an awesome job. The food was really good. My dish pasta arrived hot and perfectly cooked. My wife's steak was tender and well seasoned. Very good experience“

“Outstanding food ! Great value. Great staff! Go as soon as you can!!!“

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

“We had a very nice meal here back in October. Our server, Shannon, was outstanding and took excellent care of us. The location is fantastic, sitting right on the water and made for a very pleasant meal. We had the calamari appetizer (very good), the Sauteed Flounder, which was okay and not worth $40, and the Gourmet Burger. I thoroughly enjoyed the burger. Since we came over on our boat, we weren't drinking, but the bar area looked pretty cool. We will come back again.“

“Went on a Tuesday night which happened to be Karaoke night. It was a fun evening with a full house of people of all ages. I had the Lobster Bisque (excellent) and the fried clams, also good. I intend to make it a regular stop. It is outdoor dining only.“

““The food is absolutely outstanding, the service is incredible, and Chef Mike is one of a kind. Do yourself a favor — if you’re in the area, stop in. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“The food served here was very good, i had the sizzling sirloin 10/10. Aside from that I had accidentally left my purse at the dinner table while taking a call and my party had left without knowledge that my purse was there. Before i could notice i was already an hour away. The manager at this location and his staff were very helpful with this issue. When i found proper arrangements to get my things they secured my items and made sure nothing was taken. Very appreciated thank you 🙏“

“Did a mobile pick up order for work. Jillian (general manager) and Carl were so patient and helpful. I love coming here, staff like them, Scott and Mel are always so kind and accommodating. Love this place! Service is always excellent and food is perfect“

“To start my review, I just wish there were more stars in the food and service category. Trio deserves 10 ⭐'s for both.This restaurant handles two types of food service, restaurant seating and catering for small to large parties. I've now experienced both. My most recent was a repast after a funeral. When everyone is emotional, the last thing the family needs is problems with the food service. Well, in our case, more people showed up than were originally expected. The staff at Trio didn't miss a beat. They set up additional tables in a flash and quickly had the tables set. We had buffet style dining and the selection was outstanding, with something for everyone. From soup to nuts, everything was delicious. They had fish, beef, vegetarian selections and even offered coffee and dessert. (by the way, if I had known how good the desserts would've been, I might have eaten a little less dinner.)The service is impeccable, everything is clean and fresh, the linens and tablecloths were spotless.I'd like to add that Trio is on the grounds of the Holbrook Country Club. You can grab lunch and drinks after you play, just show up and they accommodate parties of all sizes. You won't be disappointed!“

“Stopped in to kill time while my phone was being repaired. I had the steak sandwich that was unbelievably delicious, couple bloody Mary’s which were incredible.
The staff greeted you with smiles and were very friendly.
And from 10am-5pm is happy hour so certain drinks are two for one which you cannot beat.
I can’t wait to try the entire menu :-)“

“Enjoy every time we go delicious“

“I go here all the time with my friends we enjoy the place the workers are nice and positive and very fun to talk to and very out going. Michelle is the best one the food here is also amazing I love their waffle fries and the boneless wings.“

“It's just an event space. Perfect for meetings and medium sized events. There was food served but it was catered by someone other then owners.

Parking: Location was difficult to find parking and the way the parking lot is very difficult to maneuver“

“Everything was so delicious“

“Our meal at Chatter's was great! The service was top-notch, thanks to Amanda. The food was served quickly and the presentation was great. Amanda really impressed us with her customer service skills! Chatter's is lucky to have such a dedicated staff member.“

“Absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was so yummy we didn't have time to snap a picture. Two pitchers of mimosa, huevos ranchero was perfect so delicious ? even the kid's chicken tenders and fries, they devoured it (I stole a tender too haha).Customer service here is top tier and our server was the best! The vibe is amazing, everyone was so friendly. Will definitely visit again!!“

“the fish bowls are such a good drinking investment lol !!“

“Best heroes ever!!! Been going there for 30 years!!!“

“Great restaurant ‼️💕🦋💕Beautifully decorated and the food was delicious ❤️“

“I took my mom here as I wanted to take her out on a date together. My mom deserves to get out and enjoy the lovely weather we have been getting up in the Long Island area. We came to this spot (by the way it's called "American Standard"). I think the bar/restaurant change the name.This spot offers live music, we enjoyed a guitarist play during the course of our stay here.We ordered the alligator fritters as our appetizer and catfish poh boy with a burger that had all kinds of galore in it.The food was fantastic, very delicious. The alligator fritters was phenomenal. It's rare to find a bar/restaurant to offer alligator in this area as there aren't any alligators or crocodiles nearby. It was well cooked, not dry. The dish presentation was cute.The meal was very filling as the burgers came with fries or side salad. The poh boy came with the same option, but my mom ordered salad. The food portions were perfect.The spot also offers a wide selection of alcohol, including many choices of craft beer. I highly recommend coming here to have a good time. It's very causal.“

“We just had our daughter’s Sweet 16 party at Butterfields, and it could not have been better! All our guests loved the delicious food and the lovely decor. The entire staff was friendly, accommodating, and professional. Highly recommend!“

“My daughter, granddaughter and I went there for an early dinner. Our server Joanne and the food made our experience really nice. Thank you very much.“

“Ford's Garage delivers a fun, auto-themed dining experience with solid burgers and a vast beer selection. The unique decor stands out, though some find prices high. Service was great and the atmosphere was quite unique. The food quality was consistent and delicious. I recommend!!“

“Last Wednesday I was at Davis vision works and we walk to the restaurant for lunch whem we get the we were standing up for almost 15 minutes waiting for someone to give us a table. finally whem someone come to us and without asking if we need a table rigth away he say is was 15 mint wait, me while the restaurant wasn't even packed it was a lot of table empty and even like that he was going to make us to wait more. really bad service and rude attention. we have money to pay it wasn't like we were asking for a free table. people are really racist at this place. I don't recommend“
