50 Best American Restaurants near Oyster Bay

“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.“

“A must try place whenever you are in Oyster bay. Awesome food and staff! Highly recommended 😊“

“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.“

“I started off looking for “just a bar” and stumbled across Teddy’s. What I found was a modern interior with a pleasant staff that was willing to accommodate anything and everything. Oyster Bay is not the friendliest place for minorities but genuinely, I feel like I am home at Teddy’s. Thank you!“

“Excellent food, beautifully crafted cocktails, warm , comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend the coach Meeting House“

“Love it; really exquisite“

“As a little reminder, I was the outsider today. So I don't want to send the wrong message to a local celebrated Bar N Grill. Let me start by saying that Pine Hollow Road is a very busy street, with vehicles traveling at speeds in both directions, so be careful crossing. DEL'S BAR N GRILL does not have a parking lot. Parking on the streets are free except on Fridays which is limited by time so read the signs (pictures enclosed).
I gave this establishment 3 stars on the food that I had. I am not representing the whole menu. *I will say I had the most delicious crunchy juicy buffalo drum sticks I have ever tasted in one sitting and that was for starters. I then ordered the Snouders Burger with fries. The burger was a bit greasy and unappetizing, the fries were thin and over cooked. Fountain drinks like my ginger ale and my friend's coke lacked sweetness so order without ice if you can. Service was very attentive and polite. Tables opposite the bar sit high and there are a enough to satisfy a large crowd. There also is a Juke Box. Today was fairly empty inside when I arrived. The TVs were a little loud with WHEEL OF FORTUNE not sports. Separate Men's and ladies bathroom clean and presentable with strong electric hand dryer and almond smelling hand soap. ATM on the wall in bathroom location. Pricing was reasonable. All in all I would have to say that even though I wouldn't eat here again, to a local, it still looks like a good watering hole with friendly conversations.

“Excellent food, oversized sandwiches, great service“

“We love going to Foster—at this point, you could say we’re regulars. We typically sit at the bar. We especially love their specials, and I’m still thinking about the elk burger I had last year (please bring it back!).The oysters are always fresh and delicious, and the fried chicken is absolutely amazing. Recently, I’ve been loving the salmon with corn and shishito succotash and blueberry teriyaki. Honestly, everything is consistently fresh and delicious.

John, the bartender, makes excellent cocktails—many with fun names like Silence of the Lambrusco. He puts a lot of care into his craft, from house-infused ingredients to thoughtful presentation. He also always keeps you hydrated with their house water, which I truly appreciate.

Happy hour is a great deal and is available at the bar only, Wednesday through Sunday from 5:00–7:00 pm, and all night on Mondays. We love ordering the wood-fired Margherita pizza and fried chicken wings for $12.36, along with their house margarita at $10.30—delicious and affordable.

When we do get a table, the service is always spot on.

We feel lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in our neighborhood.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🍽️✨“

“I cannot say enough about the Library Cafe, the staff and the food! We had a 50th Birthday Party in the upstairs private room overlooking the bar. The food was delicious and there was PLENTY of it!

“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.“

“Had such fun at the murder mystery!“

“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♥️“

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!!“
