19 Best Burger Restaurants near Port Jefferson

“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.“

“When ordering takeout, it’s hit or miss with the burger temperature. We order medium rare every time and sometimes it’s perfect, sometimes overcooked and sometimes undercooked. Seems like they need a better system for cooking to be more consistent.“

“Loves veggie patties but unfortunately they dont so it anymore along with the mac and cheese balls. Was very disappointed to find that. Waiter took a long time to get bacn to us because we were seated outside but the restaurant was empty so i dont see how it could have been that hard to keep an eye on us. The food was great tho so no complains there.“

“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!“

“I hadn't been to an IHOP in over a decade and never one back home on Long Island. I went with my eldest son to this one at his request (his first time at this location, too) and had a clean restaurant, friendly staff and excellent breakfast food. Definitely a pleasant experience - and funny thing... Even the to go container for the food I couldn't finish was top shelf! Honestly, it was better than a container I got from a $500 per person meal at a steak house!

I'll go back there again when I visit. Well done, IHOP!“
