“This was my first (and won’t be my last ) visit to Drifters Kitchen and Bar. I had the Stuffed Shrimp and Key Lime Pie. Everything was delicious. From the way the food was plated , the delivery to the table, the waitstaff ( Danielle our waitress) and perfectly cooked food. I can’t say enough.“

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

“Food is excellent every time we go. Service is outstanding. The place is in a strip mall, which is a little weird but it's nice enough inside with enough room between tables for privacy if you want it. My only complaint is they have many dessert options (like 9) and only one of them is chocolate! They need more than just a chocolate cake option. Not one of the other desserts has any chocolate in it! JMHO and we have been here several times and it's always amazing.“

“I love the atmosphere and the food and cocktails! I haven’t been for a very long time. I am handicap, I use a walker and sometimes a wheelchair and your place is not accessible The ramp is steep and you cannot get to the rest rooms. I’m sure you don’t have many complaints regarding this issue, but I would love to be able to enjoy your tiki bar/ restaurant once again. Thank you !“

“My mom and I hosted a baby shower here, just this past weekend, and we feel we need to scream from the rooftops just how amazing it was! The staff was phenomenal, anything we needed they were right there to help! The food was stellar and all of our guests were talking about how they wish they could load up to go containers from the buffet! If you ever have to throw an event, do yourself the favor and check them out! The owner is the nicest guy and really just went above and beyond to help make the shower perfect! If I could give more than 5 stars I would !!“

“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“

“Waitress doubled tip that we left on card. The Friendly’s in Shirley - food was good. It appears the waitress doubled her tip (the tip usually gets posted to the card at and of day separate from bill which is posted immediately). She was young pleasant, light skin, light brown hair with patches of blue and green in her hair. No where near worth a 16 dollar tip.“

“The Bellport offers great food in a very pleasant atmosphere. In addition it is in a nice location for a stroll to the marina afterwards.“

“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“

“My family and I went backcountry camping in the wilderness section of the campground. The beach was beautiful with lots of interesting finds from the ocean! It can get very cold and windy, so keep that in mind when planning your attire and camp set up.

We also stumbled across an interesting arrangement of props that could either be a ritualistic site of a religion I don't know about or an art exhibit. Still pretty cool though!“

“Everything was so delicious“

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

“We love Wings. The food is great. Staff very friendly. Its a nice cozy place to have breakfast“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to the Tap Room (Patchogue) (specifically the Patchogue location). We were invited to a family party, buffet-style. I reached out to the restaurant via email, because I wanted to make sure they could accommodate my daughters food allergies -- eggs, soy, sunflower seeds, tree nuts and peanuts, or I would plan ahead and pack snacks she could safely eat instead. The Culinary Director, Joseph Walsh, called me the next day. He spoke to me for awhile, went over her food allergies, made some suggestions, and assured me that he would come up with something she could safely eat. The morning of the party, he sent me an email to confirm we were coming and his suggestions for a safe meal (rice and beans sauteed with bell peppers, chicken cutlet w/ no egg, and a mixed fruit salad). I emailed him back that just rice and beans and the fruit salad would be fine, because she doesn't eat chicken. He emailed me back, concerned that rice and beans and a fruit salad wouldn't be enough, but I assured him it would be fine because she's only 7 and has anxiety over trying new foods at restaurants (understandably), so sticking with rice and beans and fruit salad, which she's comfortable with, would be perfect. At the event, Joseph told my relative that he wanted to talk to us, and when we arrived, he came to introduce himself, told me that he was making sure everything was prepared separately and would be ready for her shortly. Absolutely fantastic service. We truly, truly appreciated all his care and effort, because that's sadly not the norm most of the time when we try to eat out. Thank you Joseph at the Tap Room in Patchogue!“

“Such a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, I ordered the Chef Custom Platter and also ordered the caramel churros, which were absolutely delicious. The portions are great and as someone who looks at ingredients and seed oils, they use cold pressed extra virgin olive oil in all their foods!“

“this place is a gem. the food is fresh and tasty. the people are friendly. variety of food...burgers, tacos, halal (tasty chicken over basmati rice with lettuce and toppings) ....too much to list.... we've ordered from here twice and will be going back often!! I want to try a vanilla milkshake soon. very easy to get to. no traffic to fight either. GO HERE!!! *****“

“Excellent Service and atmosphere 🙂“

“Had dinner last night with a friend, food was excellent and the Fall sangria even better!“

“Great place. Thank you from the US Military Vet MC“

“The Metz family has always supported Jimmy’s Diner, with everyone who has owned it!!! And it’s always been terrific people that we love.“

“Painter’s is where portion sizes border on the absurd and service moves at lightning speed. On Father’s Day, with the parking lot packed, we braced for a long wait, but were seated instantly, perhaps by restaurant wizardry. The staff? Efficient, friendly, and impressively attentive despite being slammed. The craft beer selection? Solid, featuring multiple IPAs, including Sand City’s local legend, "Oops I Hopped My Pants." And the food? Each dish arrived in comical abundance, leaving us marveling at the sheer generosity of Painter’s kitchen. Massive portions, incredible flavors. As for dessert, Painter’s offers a parade of palate-pleasing perfection. A symphony of sweets so spectacular they silence self-restraint. Countless confections, crafted with precision, passion, and pure decadence. Bring an appetite, a to-go container, or maybe your Wegovy shot.“

“I was their yesterday and I haven't been there in a while but I had a great experience starting with my waiter Traves, extremely professional and very accommodating gentleman, the food was delicious and very large portions, the beer was ice cold on a 96 degree day was awesome, I will definitely be back very soon and hopefully Traves will be my waiter, see you later JOEY C.“

“We love Brooke! Me and my friends come to this Applebee’s at least once a week, and she’s hands down one of the main reasons we keep coming back. Always friendly, on top of everything, and remembers our usuals like we’re regulars at a hometown diner. Brooke’s vibe is just unmatched—genuine, patient, and quick with a laugh. If you’re lucky enough to get her as your server, your night’s already a win. Give that girl a raise!!“

“Exelente comida y Exelente servicio“

“Best restaurant diner around. Fabulous food. Best Greek salad spinach pie I have ever had. Homemade dressing is incredible!!!!! 5 stars all the way!!!! I will be going there all the time!!! Thank u so much!!!! Very satisfied customer Sue miranda“

“I have to visit when I’m the area. Very cozy and friendly place. The food is great!“

“Everyone here are so nice , and that is even including the customers who sit next to us , very friendly people.
We just pumped in here from the farm visit we have had on Saturday and amazingly the Saturday is kids eat for free!!
Food is good especially the wings, our server is so kind , helpful especially when we have three kids and the youngest one is only 3.
First time to be here and really want to come back again despite we are 56 miles away.“

“Italian hero delicious thank you so much that was so good 💕“

“Went for the first time at the recommendation of a friend. The food was tasty, hot and came out quickly. The waitress was pleasant and attentive and the atmosphere was good. A few different items (the perogies were excellent) and good portions. Definitely worth a visit.“

“This Applebee’s is probably the nicest one I’ve ever been to!
Went as a large group for lunch, and didn’t call ahead (apologies wasn’t my idea!) but they were very accommodating and everything still came out fast.
The food was very good, and as I mentioned did not take long from order time to table. Portion sizes are also very large for the price! Looking at $10-$20 per person without drinks. (Average for our group was about $15 before drinks)
The waitress was very nice, and spent an appropriate amount of time checking on our table to refill drinks and see if we needed anything. Never felt like I had to ask for anything, and also served everyone a water which I always think is a nice touch.
Overall, great spot to grab lunch. The deals they have during the week also make it a great spot to go during a lunch break. Super sad I’m visiting as I’d love to come here again.“

“First time there tonight for a birthday dinner. WOW is an understatement. Sat outside with a beautiful sunset view. We had the short rib special, the sea bass and the swordfish entrees and they were delicious! The mussels in white sauce to start and the (clearly) homemade peanut butter and chocolate & carrot cake desserts were phenomenal. Our waitress Jaimie was the BEST-so sweet and welcoming-all of her recommendations from cocktails to entrees to dessert were spot on. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Awesome variety of food and service always with a smile. Would definitely recommend ❤️“

“This place deserves 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ so I give the max of 5 stars and 5 bonus stars.
I have been going to L.I Wings-N-Things for 7 years, finally I get around to doing a review.
I recently ordered a few items, and I have to say, it was an exceptional experience. We tried the nachos, pierogies, 10-piece wings, and Rubin bites, and each item was delicious.

The nachos were loaded , the pierogies were perfectly cooked, and the Rubin bites were amazing. The wings are the best we ever had.

This restaurant definitely earned a spot as a family favorite. Highly recommend! Still after 7 years of going here.

Thank you,
David“

“What a delicious meal. Drinks were strong, service was superb. We can’t wait to come back.“

“We recently ate at the new Italian restaurant named Pulcinella at the rock golf club. We went for our 35th wedding anniversary and we are so glad we did. The decor, the service, and especially the meal were all superb. The portions were large and the prices were high average but well worth it. If you are looking for a great meal in a beautiful setting this is the restaurant you want to try. Reservations suggested.“

“Best Sicilian slice around“

“I have been here two times. Have ordered different food each time Both my grandson (32) and myself (86)simply love the food. Drinks are exotic and great. Can not wait to go back and order different foods as all are better then the last.“
