50 Best American Restaurants near West Islip

“Had a bunch of friends meet us there for a quick put together birthday and everything was great. Wings are amazing here- the kind you crave after you ate 25 of them. Thank you Sean (Bartender) for putting up with us that day!! You made it a smooth process for the birthday bay!!“

“Had the best lunch today. Food was amazing but the server was even more amazing. Donna rocked it!!! I will be going back soon!“

“I’d like to say and point out a server/bartender that works here at this Applebee’s in Brentwood. Each and every time I come here this employee consistently gives me and other customers I’ve seen dine here some of the best service and attitude imaginable. I don’t know what his secret is, but I love coming through those doors and seeing that his big built body is on the clock. Every other server/bartender I’ve had has been great, but then here comes Diego taking it to another level.

Especially the positive attitude that I see him giving his coworkers as well. Lord forgive me, but I would love to be working with this man because it’s one thing to be kind and respectful to your customers, but another to be that same way with your coworkers. Especially with the two hostesses that I usually see when I come in on the weekends, the curly-haired boy with the glasses and the nice girl with the curly hair. They’re always so welcoming, and Diego fits right in with them.

Nothing but professional, nothing but friendly that man is. I hope he gets recognized for the way he treats his customers and the people working around him. Shout out to everybody else in this Applebee’s for their immaculate service, INCLUDING DIEGO, because that man deserves his flowers too.“

“I cannot say enough about the Library Cafe, the staff and the food! We had a 50th Birthday Party in the upstairs private room overlooking the bar. The food was delicious and there was PLENTY of it! The bar/wait staff was both attentive and quick getting to all of us! The party was perfect right down to the music which they let us pick! Definitely having more events at the Library!“

“I became a regular diner to Riley’s a couple of years ago. Gotta tell ya, the food is as good as any high restaurant I eat at and I dine out a lot. Fun, delicious, quality menu that has never once disappointed on any item, ever. Yes it is mostly basic pub food but so are 50% of the restaurants on Long Island now and Fibbers is perfect and priced more than fair. Can’t remember the servers but the two ladies are always right there, refills on drinks, food on time and always with a smile regardless how busy they are. Come back soon guys! You are the best of EI“

“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!!“

“Had a Wonderful lunch at the Applebee's in Farmingdale! I was worried that I would not find something to eat because I am trying to watch what I'm eating, but I had a amazing salad with salmon that I can't even explain how good it was -- - totally more than I expected! It was delicious and something I am going to go back for as a staple! The service was great and the manager stopped over to say hi and see how everything was going. Totally appreciate that. If you haven't been to Applebee's in a bit, check out the Farmingdale location and get the salmon salad!“

““Excellent service from Issac today at TGI Fridays. He was very friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. He made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel very welcome. Service like his is what makes people want to come back. Thank you, Issac, for such a great experience!”“

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

“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.“

Beef Pho is so good! Atmosphere is nice and clean and the service are great too. I'm going again today!“

“The chef Francisco is a fine chef and his food tastes great. I have eaten here about 5xs already and he never disappoints. I highly recommend the tacos 🌮. I have also eaten the skirt steak which was delicious. He has a very nice presentation on all dishes. They also have fresh baked breads and the waitresses are all very nice and friendly. The dining area is nice and there is music playing and sometimes live entertainment. I want to try every dish on the menu. The restaurant has the potential to be a real gold mine because the food is definitely on point.“

We will absolutely be using Lily's again in the future and recommending it to anyone looking for a venue.“

“Have been coming here for past 20+ years. Same ladies serving for quite awhile. Hit or miss service, sometimes they are too chatty and ignore tables. Food is good if you are ordering basic diner fare; omelettes or sandwiches. The owner, a kind, older gentleman, always tries his best to make us feel valued. Heavy set mid 40's cashier is rude to customers and servers.
We will return here, out of loyalty to our neighborhood diner.“

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

“We worked the same event yesterday and I knew right away I would be visiting them for my lunch! So amazing and the ladies were super friendly! I tried the Taco, Bacon Mac & Cheese, Philly Cheesesteak, and Banana Nutella. I Hope to see them at another event soon so I can try the other flavors (I heard the spinach artichoke is a must have!)“

“The food was soooo delicious. My husband I were cwlebrating our 6th Anniversary and had a WeekDay Luncheon Date. Totally Superb down to the very last drop. We ate every buttery morsel. We each had the Grilled Salmon, Lobster and Shrimp Trio with Mashed potatoes loaded with Lobster Sauce on top and a side of their broccolli which was insanely delicious!!! We will most definitly coming back. Staff was very attentive and friendly and very accomodating. Thank You for such a wonderful experience!“

The host were super friendly and above and beyond accommodating for our party size

The service was top notch
Our server, Milton was super attentive and friendly

Food was delicious (but super over priced) $50 for a lobster roll?! & bread is not complementary ?!

The water view was the cherry on top“

“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!!?????“

“Had a wonderful experience at Halston's! The food was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed a perfectly cooked steak with creamy mashed potatoes, and the meal ended on a high note with a rich, delicious cheesecake.

The highlight of the evening was my waitress... she was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed. That's really all you can ask for in a great restaurant: excellent food and people who genuinely take care of you.

Kudos to the team at Halston's! I will definitely be back.“

“Excellent venue. Mesmerizing settings. Beautiful atmosphere too“

“In town on business and ordered take out from The Shed both nights. Food was fantastic. Will come back when the opportunity presents itself in order to sit down and truly enjoy a meal.“

“Beautiful, fun spot with great food and cocktails!“

“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!“
