32 Best Bar & Grill near Wantagh

“Visit Date: July 29, 2025 (Early morning, after midnight)

So I had a crazy few days lol. I went to the Nelly/Ja Rule/Eve concert, the next day I worked and drove my son and I out to WildWood, NJ to participate in a short part of my boyfriend's annual family vacation, Tuesday night I left Wildwood at 10 PM because I had a notary class Wednesday. After the concert my friend Jen told me she was going to be here with her other friends. So I went to meet them because I didn't get to see them during the concert. Jen is so amazing she's very generous with me even though she doesn't have to be, so she paid for my burger that I ordered here because I didn't eat dinner and when I got to Boss Crocker's I was hungry. I gave the bartender a $20 tip because if someone pays for my meal I like to pay it forward and give the waitstaff or bartender a banger tip.

The bacon cheeseburger was very good. They made it very fast, I don't know if it was the hunger but I loved it. They made it medium rare at my request and it was one of the best burgers I ever scarfed down.

The bar was a pretty good environment, it was a pretty chill crowd for a Sunday night, more packed than I thought it would be. I can't say much about the drinks I only drank water but give Boss Crocker's a chance!“

“Liked having dinner outside on such a beautiful day with great service from waitress Kaitlyn and the quick turnaround on order - a Melt which was delicious.“

“One of the best bars in Nassau. Great friendly staff, they make you feel like one of the crew quickly. Great drinks with a wide selection of Beam. As far as the food goes, there is not better place to get wings in the county. Wide range of heat and flavors, always made to perfection. Then of course there is the pizza that will beat most pizzerias round. They almost have a restaurant menu in a bar. There is not better place to watch any sports from horse racing to football and everything in between. The place has a lot of modern TVs so getting the game you want is pretty easy (just ask). Yes they do have WiFi as well. Highly recommend this bar.“

“We just had the BEST experience at the Farmingdale location. Food, DRINKS, our amazing waitress Hailey… all outisde in their beautiful “Backyard” space. Will recommend and make this a regular spot!!!“

“RVC best pub! Great burger. 🍔 great cheesesteak best chopped 🥗salad best place to watch sports. Enjoyed our visit.“

“This place is so great. Stumbled in just now and ordered an egg sandwich to take on the beach…and of course had no cash. No ATM card. Owner didn’t hesitate to say “no problem! Enjoy!” So classy! Made our day. This is my go to place at the beach in 2026! Best October beach day vibes ever!!!“

“It’s a great local bar with friendly staff, good food, terrific atmosphere & absolutely wonderful owners Gina & David. You want to feel welcome & at home, comfortable & relaxed, not judged or uncomfortable… than you need to try this bar. It’s GREAT!!!“

“Bunny, the bartender! Great lunch and libations..“

“Fantastic friendly service from Martha and the rest of the staff. The food is delicious!! Atmosphere wonderful with live music!“

“The food was definitely fresh and tasty. The prices were very reasonable. My burger was excellent, and French fries were crisp. The service was friendly and not overpowering. I felt the burger was a little over seasoned (salty). I like my food plain, and then I can season to my choice. It was a little loud. But it is a young person's pub/bar, so that is to be expected. Overall, a 21-34 year-old looking for a hang out would enjoy the food, pricing and sports bar atmosphere.“

“My wife and I stopped in to see Poppie who was a no-show tonight. Stayed to enjoy the early patron conversation. Loved Ali and her energy. Met Poppie's dad's GF who was an angel. Jimmy, Ali's replacement, was our best friend from the start and showed his 50+ years of experience. As for the burgers... yum and yum, yum. Do one soon! This is a corner bar that has a dart board and personality to be experienced!“

“Great food and good people“

“Omg this lil cozy bar and grill is so amazing! The owners are so sweet, the chef is Linda and she cooks the best and freshest dishes! The prices are cheaper compared to other local bars.

“Stopped for lunch and it was excellent. So much food we couldn’t finish. Been coming here since the 70s. Did not disappoint.“

“For a simple snack place by a pool, it has good price and decent food. Staff are really friendly. They can bring your food to the table as well. Even with half of the ice cream options unavailable, there were still many varieties to choose from.“

“Love it here! Everyone is like one big family and very welcoming!“

“I ate several meals here over a 4 night stay. Breakfast is delicious and the burrito is out of this world. Dinners are great and I especially loved the seafood pasta. Nice casados as well. Had lunch everyday here and I always got the ceviche. Excellent! Guillermo is an amazing host and a great guy. Lara, his daughter was a great hostess as well. Loved this place and it made me feel at home.“

“Great food, great music every time!!“

“We arrived at this restaurant for a meeting. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. Well, we were not disappointed. The staff were extremely nice and we had a great feeling. The meal was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed every moment and we shall absolutely come back again. We recommend this place to all.“

“Our clients love the private event space “The Garden” A stand alone venue with natural light ceiling & an additional loft area. GREAT for ALL occasions!“

“Great Place for a nice drink. great food and bartenders“

“This place is really nice. It’s a good vibe. The music was good. I do feel like they do need more experience bartenders that know how to make drinks and the hookah price that they charge plus the refill is really not worth it so I wouldn’t hookah here anymore But the vibe and aesthetic is what will bring me back here, the staff is really nice. I wish that they had a person who can be a waitress/waiter instead of always going up to the crowded bar to order food. But overall, I will definitely come back.“
