“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.“

“Great food and great staff“

“I had the pleasure of experiencing SpyCoast food tent at my daughter's lacrosse tournament at Farmingdale State College this past weekend, and it exceeded all my expectations. Despite being a pop-up food tent, the service was incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Meghan was especially helpful and kind, making the ordering process a breeze. Jaden, the cook, was the happiest chef I've ever met, even on such a hot and humid day. His positive attitude was infectious and added to the overall great experience!

I had the bacon cheeseburger and my daughter had a grilled cheese, both of which were cooked to perfection by Jaden himself. The bacon cheeseburger was delicious and flavorful, while the grilled cheese was perfectly crispy and cheesy.

I went in with low expectations, given it is a food tent and it was over 90 degrees that day, but SpyCoast truly impressed me. I highly recommend stopping by their tent if you get the chance!“
