“While Windsor Terrace might be lacking in its culinary and late night bar experience, Farrell’s is thee hidden gay bar you’ve been looking for. Into Firefighters? they got em. Retired cops that won’t cuff or kink shame you (unless you’re into that) got that too. If you’re in keeping American conservative with a side Adam and Steve THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!“

“Pretty sure I just had one of the top 3 Reuben sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life, not even joking. It’s a Friday night and no shortage of customers here but still the service was fantastic, beer selection was great, my sandwich in particular was A++, and no one in my party had a bad word to say about theirs either. Definitely coming back for more!“

“great food. and good ambiance.“

“I was greeted by the most pleasant, professional young lady named Ayanna. She immediately brought us to the table of our choice and then inform us that she would also be our server. She did not leave until she informed us of menu options that she thought we might be interested in and asked us if there was anything that we needed right away. When I told her to give us a little bit of time, she pleasantly agreed and did hesitate to frequently check on us to see if she could meet our needs. I ordered a cocktail for myself and a drink for my son, who accompanied me, and we placed our dinner order. Our food was served promptly and it was hot and delicious. Throughout dinner, she checked on us frequently to ensure we had everything that we needed. She also made pleasant conversation which I greatly appreciated as this was my first time at an Applebee’s location. She has gained you a customer for life. The food and the atmosphere was wonderful, but Ayanna definitely may be experience worthwhile.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and the service. Highly recommend!“

“Love this place!!! Decorated beyond for every holiday, great food and excellent service. My daughter’s compliments to the chef!!!! 🌹💞💌“

“Penguin was here. Had a Chicken Caesar Salad“

“Had the experience of a lifetime when we did the chefs table. Chef Eric Levine was amazing and the food he prepared for us was like no other we’ve ever had. Six wonderful courses. Janice took care of our table and was equally amazing. I was so happy to be able to share this experience With family and would definitely do it again.“

“I did a take out order at the East Islip location. The food was good but the super melts do not seem to have much meat on them like they use to. If the prices are going up with less portions that’s going to be a problem for Friendly’s. I would hate to see them go out of business because I love Friendlys too!!“

“The food is amazing, Definitely coming again. You have to try the lemon poppy uuuuuuuuum“

“Best food I ever had is at your place“

“Every time I come to Long Island, Applebee’s is my go-to spot. The food is always delicious, and they keep adding even more tasty options to the menu that never disappoint. The staff is super friendly and always makes you feel welcome, which makes the whole experience even better. I love the atmosphere—it’s close to the airport so you can see planes flying by, and inside you’ve got big NFL games on the TV screens, which is perfect for game day. Plus, being able to order food and play games right from the mini tablet at the table makes it both fun and convenient. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat when I’m here!“

“Food here was so good and pretty big portions!!! The price and service here was so wonderful, and the waitress was so kind and helpful! Will definitely be coming back here again! :)

Previously was a vegan restaurant and I am pleased to say the new owners (now called Hispano-American Restaurant serving hispanic food) are doing an amazing job with the service and food!“

“We did our wedding luau celebration Sept 13. From booking with Holly to the end of the night everything was perfect. Holly explained all our options and answered all our questions. The price was right the food superb, Anthony bartended for us and he was great. No one, and there was 50 of us, waited for a drink. He set water out and helped us hang decorations. Holly was also there the whole time and I'm sorry I didn't get the 2nd servers name, but everyone was fantastic. Lily's, that's your dream team. Anyone looking to book a party here, do it, you will not be disappointed!“

“Went on a Tuesday night which happened to be Karaoke night. It was a fun evening with a full house of people of all ages. I had the Lobster Bisque (excellent) and the fried clams, also good. I intend to make it a regular stop. It is outdoor dining only.“

“the fish bowls are such a good drinking investment lol !!“

“My husband and I tried Jackson Hall American Bar & Grille for the first time tonight. Place was very busy. Had a very nice vibe when walking in. Our server Danny was great! Very friendly. Checked on us several times. Had no problem making recommendations. Chef Michael came by several times as well. Was very friendly.We started out with Mussels in a lobster sauce with chunks of lobster. It was delicious! We then had the honey crab legs. They were so tasty. The crab was so meaty. There is no way you will leave this restaurant hungry. Portions are fantastic! We ended the night with cheesecake. It was the perfect ending to our meal. We will definitely be back to try more stuff on the menu!“

“Vietnamese food was something that took a long time to get to Nassau County. I use to only get it when on business trips. Now I come here as often as I can. Every item on the menu is excellent. Beef Pho is so good! Atmosphere is nice and clean and the service are great too. I'm going again today!“

“Mussels over pasta salad , coffee dessert“

“I go here all the time with my friends we enjoy the place the workers are nice and positive and very fun to talk to and very out going. Michelle is the best one the food here is also amazing I love their waffle fries and the boneless wings.“

“The food served here was very good, i had the sizzling sirloin 10/10. Aside from that I had accidentally left my purse at the dinner table while taking a call and my party had left without knowledge that my purse was there. Before i could notice i was already an hour away. The manager at this location and his staff were very helpful with this issue. When i found proper arrangements to get my things they secured my items and made sure nothing was taken. Very appreciated thank you 🙏“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“It's a basic diner. Breakfast food was acceptable but nothing to write home about. The waitress was quite busy and never brought a condiment I requested and we had to flag her down for the check despite being finished eating for a good amount of time. They recently renovated and the interior has no diner charm, it's just fairly generic but clean looking.“

“Amazing food!! We look forward to them coming to Dark Revolution every time! Thanks guys!!“

“Had a great dinner at The James. Our server Ramon took great care of us. We loved the raw bar, the crab cake, steak frites, and the beef Wellington. The éclair was the perfect finish. Manager Matthew and GM Frank were very accommodating. We'll definitely be back.“

“I just need to shout out Deli Zone b/c I've been coming here a few years and I always enjoy it. Everything is priced well, and the food is solid. Nothing fancy, just hearty and filling. I'm obsessed with their healthy breakfast wraps. My favorite is the Energy breakfast wrap. Just bomb. I stop in for breakfast and lunch often and usually order breakfast wraps and sandwiches. Service is always great...lovely ladies at the counter. Give them a shot!“

“I cannot BELIEVE that I have lived in Copiague for almost 2 years now and I have NOT been to Cantina Bay yet. Already one of my favorite places in the 3 Villages (Amityville, Copiague, Lindenhurst). Went back to back k Saturday and Sunday with my girlfriend. Going back tonight and again this weekend! See y'all there (am the tall Aryan looking dude - can't miss me ?)

Parking: Deep in Tanner Park. Hidden behind bushes. Turn left when you the Skate Park is on your right“

“I was in town from Florida visiting cousins & they heard great things about this place, so we figured we would try it out! Well, it did NOT disappoint in every way! The decor and vibe is really cool with a beach/nautical theme. The food and drinks were delicious! The roasted brussel sprouts & the Shepherd’s Pie was to die for! Our waitress, Nicole, was great and funny! The bartenders, Joe & Katie, made amazing & different cocktails and were so warm & attentive! They had a one man band singing who was really talented! We even met the owners who could not be more welcoming, friendly and attentive making sure we were having a great time and we were happy with everything! If I lived here, I would definitely come here often, and definitely will be returning on my next visit! Check this everything out for sure….and you’re welcome in advance!!?????“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“We've had great experiences at Nu. It's a quiet spot, usually, and the food is really great. We always get filet mignon or their pork chop, which is fabulous. Their wine list is great, and the service is always top notch. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to service. I like to have great service but also be left alone, which is exactly what they do. The servers have always been attentive and professional. They know what to recommend and can advise you on the menu. I have to repeat. Their food is GREAT! although I do always order the filet mignon. It's the best .“

“Recently decided to try a new place for lunch. They are always right on point about your order even if you make changes/substitution. The portion sizing is perfect, the food is fresh, it looks and tastes amazing. Cant say enough about how awesome this deli “

“This place in particular is close to home, but we going there not just because good food, good environment, and great service, the real reason is because my daughter loves their food and dessert and her friends visit this place also and they are planning to make this place a friends meeting place, in the near future.but you should go there and make this place your favorite place to dine out with family and friends.“

“Wanted to find somewhere relaxed to grab dinner and this was it. Very nice atmosphere, food portions were plentiful, and all of the ingredients were fresh. I had gotten chips, salsa, and guac for an appetizer; loved that it was both salsa and guac. Would absolutely return and recommend to others.“

“This is still one of the absolute best chain restaurants Long Island has to offer! My boyfriend and I stopped in for a quick bite before catching a movie at the local theater and were not sure we would be served and eat in time before the movie. However, we were pleasantly surprised! We sat at the bar and decided apps and a sandwich would probably be able to get cooked quickly. Luckily for us our food came out in a jiffy! The cauliflower bites were delicious and had the perfect kick to them. Additionally, the French onion soup was the ideal food for a chilly Friday night. My boyfriend also enjoyed his meal stating his sandwich hit the spot and was exactly what he needed after a long day at work. Finally, my mocktail had a great amount of tang and bite and really made our quick bite feel all the more elevated and sophisticated. We were happy our bill was about $40 and we could not have been happier to be served promptly and be on our way to the theater. Of note, it is a little dark inside, but it was also a Friday night, so that may just be their preferred aesthetic. Keep up the great work, Houlihans! We cannot wait to be back, hopefully in less of a hurry next time!“

“Excellent food and service . The theme is a diffrwebtvsgateceachvweel. When we went it was Indiana. I had the chicken and noodles it was fantastic . My husband had the rubs which were so tender snd delicious. The wings were cooked perfectly and sooooo delicious. I will definitely be back - drinks were good too!“

“Wonderful place !!! Nyasia the best barmaid in the place !!!!“

“Review of The Lake House, Bay Shore NY Dining at The Lake House in Bay Shore was an unforgettable experience. The food was delicately crafted, with beautiful flavors that truly excited our palate. Each dish was presented with elegance, and the service matched that same level of excellence—attentive, professional, and welcoming. The atmosphere was intimate yet vibrant, enhanced by stunning waterfront views that set the perfect backdrop for our meal. It felt both relaxing and refined, making it ideal for a special evening or simply celebrating the joy of good food. We highly recommend The Lake House to anyone seeking a dining experience that combines exceptional cuisine, impeccable presentation, outstanding service, and a breathtaking setting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“the best one around. love it“
