Restaurants in West Babylon

“This Place is the SPOT for BBQ. If someone tells you, you live in NY and know nothing of BBQ eat here and you will know all you ever need to know. BBQ Done and served RIGHT. Pork is pulled to order and in front of you! Pulled pork was fantastic. Ribs were better. Prices for what you get were cheap. This is high quality food and an whole lot of it. BBQ sauce is excellent”

“This place has excellent food all around. The wings are big, cooked to perfection and all of the sauces are delicious. John the owner takes pride in his business and it shows in the quality. Go here for a bite, beer and a game.”

“Always such a great experience. The owner Frank always is accommodating. It’s a family owned business and the food is phenomenal!”

“Everything is GR-8! Easy to find.”

“Angie’s Soul House is hands down one of my favorite spots on Long Island. The food is made fresh every single day, and you can taste the love and care that goes into every dish. It’s hard to find good soul food on Long Island but, Angie’s gets it right. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing this place is a hidden gem and definitely worth the trip.”

“We had been getting our pies from Pizza King for years now, but decided to try some other things on their menu. Wow, the stuffed shells were fabulous along with the eggplant rollatini being as tasty as my own. Their prices are very fair and I would not hesitate to host a party using their catering.”

“You just can’t beat Jessens Deli.”

“If you’re craving an Italian dining experience that transports you straight to the heart of your Nonna’s kitchen, look no further than Cafe Gio in the Lidl Shopping Center, West Babylon, NY! From the moment we stepped into this unassuming gem tucked off Sunrise Highway, we were enveloped in an atmosphere that exuded authenticity, warmth, and culinary passion. This is not “just a meal”—it’s a direct love letter to true Italian cuisine (and I’m still swooning over every bite). Let’s start with the menu (!), a veritable symphony of Italian classics and innovative dishes that could satisfy even the most discerning appetite. The selection is vast, offering everything from Neapolitan and artisan pizzas to seafood, pastas, and entrees that make you feel like you’re dining in a rustic trattoria in Italy. The diversity is staggering, yet every dish feels crafted with precision and heart. We were a party of five, each with our own cravings, and Cafe Gio delivered beyond our wildest expectations! First up, the Roma Chicken. Oh, where do I begin? This dish was a revelation—tender chicken breast sautéed to perfection, crowned with spinach, melted mozzarella, and bathed in a delicate light pink brandy sauce. Next, the Chicken Parmigiana. This is not your run-of-the-mill parm. The chicken cutlet was impeccably crispy yet juicy, blanketed in a vibrant, house-made tomato sauce that had just the right balance of tang and sweetness. Topped with a generous layer of bubbling mozzarella, it was served with a side of perfectly al dente pasta. This dish alone is worth the trip to West Babylon—it’s comfort food elevated to an art form. The Shrimp Parmigiana was another showstopper. Golden-fried shrimp, plump and succulent, were nestled under that same glorious tomato sauce and mozzarella. Paired with a side of linguine, it was a plate of pure indulgence. And then, the Chicken Francese. This dish was a masterclass in elegance. The chicken, lightly battered and sautéed in a lemony white wine sauce, was bright, zesty, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Now, let’s talk about Jill, our server, who was nothing short of a superstar. She was the epitome of salt-of-the-earth—warm, genuine, and attentive without ever being overbearing. Jill’s infectious enthusiasm for the menu made us feel like we were dining at her own table. She checked in just enough to ensure our glasses were filled and our needs were met, all while sharing a smile that made the experience feel personal and heartfelt. Her knowledge of the menu was spot-on, and her recommendations were pure gold. Jill is the kind of server who turns a great meal into an unforgettable experience. The ambiance at Cafe Gio strikes a perfect balance between casual and inviting. Located in a strip mall, you might not expect the cozy, family-owned vibe that greets you inside. The dining room is spacious yet intimate, with a clean, welcoming aesthetic that makes it ideal for everything from a quick lunch to a celebratory dinner. Once you enter the door, prepare for the magic to unfold. Buon appetito!”

“You guys make the best calzones anywhere. They are stuffed to the gills and baked to perfection.”

“Just like the golf course this venue is one of the best hidden gems on Long Island! Beautiful room. Great staff. Amazing food. What more could you ask for?”

“Loved the mash-up of Honduran favorites and Italian American deli must haves. The breakfast items look inviting as well..looks.like a.good spot to pick up a well made breakfast and lunch that are so appetizing. The deli is inviting but a bit small. Only comfortable for takeout and seating for 1 or 2 people”

“When I say Giovanni‘s pizza is one of my favorite spots now it is one of my favorite pizza spots. Their pizzas are huge when you get garlic knots those garlic knots are huge so if you get six for four dollars you’re getting six huge garlic knots and they taste amazing. I love it. They’ve got beautiful desserts you have to try it. This is a definite to go place for pizza and great cuisine.”

“So authentic. Fresh ingredients! Amazing food. Loved everything...great homemade tacos and sauces✔️ Finally found my favorite spot.”

“Always a good time! Great customers. Awesome Staff. A place where everybody knows your name.”

“Updated (original review from June 2024 below the update):

This trip (our third) was much better than the previous two. It looks like the full menu is available now even during lunch hours. The hot lobster roll remains the only one on the menu, but it is good. Oyster raw bar was good. Burger was good, cooked to the preferred temp. Still no fruit in the sangria (ordered the special pumpkin sangria) but there was ice! No live music (late season in October), but they had music playing at a reasonable level.

We'd continue to come back.

Original Review (1 Star service, 1 star atmosphere (due to music), 2 star food):
DJ brunch I guess. Music was looouuud and a crappy selection, but when we got there, seemed like the crowd was two decades older.

Anyway, before heading there I called to make sure of two things:

1. They still had transient slips as we were coming by boat
2. They had a cold Maine lobster roll as my wife had been craving one for weeks.

The answer to both was yes.

We tie up and get seated, about 1:40pm. Probably close to 10 minutes before anyone comes over to take drink orders. 2:13pm, still no drinks but Amanda comes to take our food orders, which we put in for baked clams and two lobster rolls. She asks if it's OK to put it in at the same time because it might all come out at the same time. Really? We said no.

2:24pm drinks arrive.

Sangria looks like red wine, no ice. No fruit. Apparently you have to ask for that. Bloody wasn't very good. Seemed like alcohol plus watered down tomato juice and horse radish.

2:26pm app comes out. Six of the smallest baked clams I've ever seen ($19). So 44 minutes before drinks, 46 minutes for app.

Lobster rolls arrive 15 minutes later. They were hot lobster rolls. What a disappointment.

Amanda never showed up after taking the food orders. She came when we were done with the rolls. Asked for the check, paid and left.

The old Seagull was nothing spectacular, but after this experience, it is missed ...”

“This place is amazing been going here since I was a kid I'm 50 now wouldn't get ice cream any other place got to check this place out”

“Best broiled salmon 🍣 around.”

“I dont know what they do or dont do but the 12 different dishes we've had so far were good. The one thing I noticed is their dishes are less oily. They PACK the food in the containers somehow. Definitely our favorite place for Chinese. Cant wait to order next week.”

“My husband and I have found our go to spot close to home. Bartenders are friendly and we have made new friends with the other customers whenever we are there. We were just there celebrating my Halloween birthday at the bars Halloween party and we had so much fun! They should definitely have a DJ more often and even a karaoke night!”

“Great food and service at Popeyes 713 Sunrise Hwy! The chicken tenders were crispy, mac & cheese creamy, mashed potatoes tasty, and the sandwich fresh and delicious. Staff was friendly and fast — everything hot and perfect! 🍗🔥”

“Found the Sal and Jerry’s booth at the Tully Farmer’s Market and then, again, at the NYU Langone Farmer’s Market and I am OBSESSED!!! The eggplant bread is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted!! It is AMAZING!!! Today I bought the spinach bread as well and it is to die for too!!! So fresh and delicious! Thanks for making my day!!”

“A taste of the south from the far east. I never knew you could take chinese food and turn it into tex mex. But they did that here, and damn it tastes good. Also makes you tired and hungry again 3 hours later.”

“Great restaurants. Lots of Fun”

“Best ravioli on the Island - great selection and varieties of ravioli and delicious fresh pasta”

“2022 Always good *****
Last night 2/8/26 **
So I ordered a LARGE pie well done with Meatballs. Did this spot trade hands or lose its pizza man? IT was awful, a doughy mess, unstretched and not well done. Sauce was waaay to sweet/sugary. I'm Sorry guys but I gotta keep it 💯. My bad for not ordering from Mike's Underground but it was too late.”

“Very decent and nice boss, the dishes are authentic and generous, like many other locals, I recommend this restaurant to my friends.”

“A nice place to go for a coffee or a bite to eat. Mon. through Fri. during the afternoon hours there is a woman working who takes care of the coffee among her other duties. Panera is lucky to have her. She is always working hard and the coffee is always fresh and tasty. She is also friendly and personable with the customers . Just hope the management know what a gem they have in her.”

“very clean, always fresh, I've been a customer for40 years!”

“I just moved in to the area and wanted to try their pizza and I must say it was one of the best pizzas I’ve had. I had a chicken Caesar pie. Everything was well done. And the crust was also really good. The prices were better than fair. I recommend it to everyone in the area and I will be coming back.”

“The bagels are really good and the owner is a hard working, care taking person. You'll have a good experience and an incredible breakfast. Open up lunch soon too 🤞🏼”

“The staff here are very friendly and helpful. They also are fast and very efficient. When i see a long line, it usually moves fast. And when I come in alone, they always have order on time.
THank you so much for the good service.”

“The food is awesome and everyone is so kind and patient.Pete treats you like Family.”

“All was very good, and service was excellent! 7° degrees that night, so very few people were out, hence the atmosphere. I'm sure it's fine on a normal night.”

“I love coming here with my friends a lot and there pizza are super delicous and so are there wings, the employees here are super friendly and are so chill they could care less what you do in this place. You should really check this place out.”

“Definitely allow them some extra time to make your food, they are usually very busy. Delivery especially takes a while. But the food is always good and always fresh!! Definitely worth waiting for :)”

“I’ve had Subway from many many different location, but this one is my most favorite. The sandwiches have the perfect amount of sauce and ingredients. It just makes my day! Thanks to the staff :) (who I haven’t even met) <3

Vegetarian options: I think most locations discontinued the veggie patties. Not sure what happen.”

“I made a rush request for a large napoleon cake and they did a wonderful job according to what I asked. They were very helpful and Kathi was super kind all the time. Flavor of the cake was 11/10 super super delicious!!!”

“I love this place! I’ve been going here for years! My favorite thing about this place is the portions are AWESOME! Worth the money.. an insane amount of pizza choices as well which is always a plus; and awesome deals. My favorite is the Monday specials deals!!”

“We asked for very specific things like swap rice for lo mein, and we asked for the chicken (sesame and orange) to be small pieces cooked extra crispy. They did it every time and it was perfect. Good service, food arrives fast, hot and secure. It's delicious and great portions too. Highly recommend!”

“The food here is great. Great queso and chips! My kids love the kids meals. Some of the ladies who work here could be a bit more freindly...other then that love moes”

“My daughter is CRAZY PICKY with bagels and she loves yours!!!! I got in the car and said, “These have to be good, it was NUTS in there.” That said, you run a tight ship also with excellent customer service and the bagels are the best I have ever had in my life. She approves, too. Thank you!!!”

“The most delicious ice coffee I have ever tasted bar none !!!!!”

“Giving this deli all 5 stars…. It’s a cozy little deli in west Babylon to go grab a quick egg sandwich & coffee.

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible.”

“The food is absolutely delicious. Best Thai food I've ever had. The flavors beautifully complimented each dish and everything was cooked to perfection. The Chicken and Beef dishes were incredibly tender and did not have any fat, grizzled or unpleasant textures. The staff is extremely helpful, courteous and friendly. Highly recommend and we will be back frequently.”

“Absolutely delicious!! First time here -the owner has an excellent personality and let me try a falafel and I instantly ordered my sandwich! I will definitely be back- I highly recommend you try this place!!”
