If you like burgers and fries, salads and cold beer, I highly recommend checking out Howard's cafe. Super casual atmosphere. Reasonable price.

What a great surprise! The wife live close by, and and wandered into the local bar for some quick pub grub. Didn't expect much, but what a great menu! Lots of tasty choices, and at a pretty great price point. We've now hit it 3 times in 2 weeks and have loved it every time. The Rebaked, and the Garlon wings are both tastier spin on classic hot wings. All the food is prepared very well. Loving this place.
Used to be a special place. Not so much anymore. Service not what it used to be. I am, or was, a long time patron. I recall early on they offered linguine w/ clam sauce as a side dish to the excellent cheese burger w/ many toppings choices and the coldest pitchers of Bud. A "new" waitress actually argued with me that they never offered the linguine w/clam sauce. I said before you, maybe. She insisted she was there since day one. My table full of original diners were stunned. Noticed service took a nose dive. Last straw was when the owner told me "no males with sleeveless shirts in the dining room"? It's a bar/burger place. WTF? Have not returned since and don't plan to, anytime soon...

Great old school sports bar.... Locals only!!!! No, not really but you will feel like a local when you enter... great friendly atmosphere with good pub food. It's a staple in the patchogue area. The people coming here have been here for years and years.... It's the cheers of the south! Get a burger and it comes with pitcher of beer and a salad you get to make at the table!!!!! It's old, messy and great!

This is a 5 star dive bar and restaurant. Hasn't changed in 30 years, and there's a comfort to that for me. Wood paneling and sports memorabilia on the walls. Small tables and booths in restaurant area. And the bar is as neighborhood feel as they get. Spent many nights here when I was in college at St Joseph's. 30 years later, came for a meal and a drink. Service was friendly and fast. The menu is typical bar fare, with a flare for value! Meals come with soft drink, huge salad and for $3 upgrade a small pitcher of sangria or beer, equivalent to 2 pint glasses! We started with mozzarella sticks. Nice size, generous portion and perfectly cooked. With 3 in our party we got a huge side salad to share, and couldn't finish it. This comes with your meals. You choose your own dressing and get individual bowls to serve yourself. I love this! The burgers are amazing! So many choices. I went with a classic..The Artie, which is cheddar & bacon. It was cooked perfectly! I love that they offer more than just fries as your side dish. Regular fries, steak fries, baked potato, sweet potato fries or linguini you can choose from. I went sweet potato and they were great. Our server was so friendly and attentive. We enjoyed reminiscing and had a great meal at a great value. I forgot how much I love this place. I won't wait another 30 years before I come back.
Came home to Long Island to visit family and had to visit this great place. Things haven't changed. Still as good as I remember. When you enter there is a bar area off to the right. Then there is a bunch of restaurant seating parallel to the bar and in the back. The place was hoping and the waitress non stop moving helping tables. We placed our order and got the all you can drink beer. When ever a pitcher was empty it was filled up nice a quick. I always love getting the burgers. So many to choose from. They have a great selection.

Me and my family were hungry one night so we went to Howard's cafe. The service is incredible they are nice. The food is amazing the burgers are the best they gave you salad and the spicy Buffalo wings are my favorite.They have TVs everywhere great for watching a game there is also a bar. The seating is the best they have booths and tables and chairs. If you are looking for some good burgers go here.

A 4.5 star for sure. It's a dive bar with great food, kind of a hidden gem in Patchogue. It was busy for a Thursday--the dining room was full. The owner was walking around, seating tables, filling drinks, taking payments. It was nice to see him so involved, you could tell he cares about his business. I had the spinach and artichoke dip at mom's request and it came with bread which was nice as we both prefer bread to tortilla chips. Then I had the lobster bisque which was by far my favorite part of the meal. It was rich and creamy, it had a great flavor. The salad was kind of meh--iceberg, 4x5 tomato, red onion and croutons but the bleu cheese dressing was great. Then came entrees. My folks both had the Mary Mary burger and joined the clean plate club, they enjoyed every bite. I had the pastrami Reuben which was good but that's where my complaint and -0.5 stars comes in. The bottom of the sandwich wasn't grilled enough so it just kind of fell apart and they served the thousand Island on the side which was kind of weird. My only other complaint is that the server never came back to check on us leaving me and dad with empty drinks for most of the meal, but she was slammin' so I don't hold it against her. Overall a great experience and I would recommend. Great job guys.
