My friend and I concluded a brewery crawl we were doing here at Long Ireland Beer. They didn't have N/A beer for me to drink, I opted for a seltzer.

The atmosphere here seemed cool, kind of on the German beer decor side in my opinion but still cool.

This was the most crowded brewery of all the ones I went to in Riverhead. Still a cool place despite lacking N/A beer.”

“Showed up in person on a Sunday night 40 minutes before they closed and placed an order for 15 people. My order was taken, cooked, prepped, bagged and checked out all by a single young man named Alessandro. Not only did Alessandro do everything from start to finish alone (with 3 other employees there) he did it with great customer service. As late and tired as he was he maintained his composure without a single face or complaint on any extra request I had (I.e. no white sauce or sauce on the side). Alessandro is an example of how all employees should be and Shah’s should be honored to have this young man on their staff!

P.S. I told him I got 15 drinks from the cooler and he respectfully asked to count them. Great job treating the business like it is your own Alessandro!”

They were so helpful when I said it was my first time there and explained I can get whatever I wanted and however much of it I wanted. I fear I will be here once a week.

Buffalo Wild Wings 1761 Old Country Rd, Riverhead Chicken Wings • $

“I have been going here for the past 10 years, and I can say this year alone; has been the best service and food that I have experienced here.

Hands down the best service I’ve experienced ever at Buffalo Wild Wings. I get my food at the best quality and an incredible service by all the staff.
Even on the peak hours on a Sunday noon games, they’re always well prepared for the orders/service.

One in-particular was Yazmyn. She always upfront and ready for my takeout/dine-in. Always gives the same consistency, great customer service, thinks first for the customer and is all well as a great contributor to my experience and others.
She’s great and the rest of the staff!
Highly recommend this Bdubz, over any on Long Island”

Wingstop 1053 Old Country Rd, Riverhead Chicken Wings • $

“Today (8/28/25) marks their grand opening, and I couldn’t be more excited! The place looks fantastic — super clean, organized, and full of great energy. Every single employee I met was friendly, upbeat, and clearly proud to be part of the new team.

I’ve had some mixed experiences at other WingStop locations in the past (sometimes they lose that charm over time), but this one? They’re absolutely nailing it so far. Great service, great attitude, and that classic WingStop flavor we’ve all been waiting for.

Keep up the awesome work, team — you’re off to an amazing start! Riverhead, come out and grab some wings… you’re gonna love it! 🔥🙌”
