“Farrells, West islip03/13/24Found myself meeting someone at Farrells, in West Islip, this evening..They called and canceled while I was waiting for them to show up, so I ate alone ?♂️I ordered the burger my usual medium rare, with cheddar, the bun toasted, and fries extra crispy..Holy Moly, was I surprised about how good this burger is.My surprise came from me never hearing from anyone that Farrells had a good burger!!! I think Gerry Ryan let me down on this one.??And, I asked for an Old Fashioned, and was told " "they dont make them"?Irish bar, so I'll cut them some slack?☘ Fair enough, I had a Harp, which I thoroughly enjoyed, cold, crisp, and freshThe burger came to me a near perfect medium rare. Kudos to the Chef!The taste of the meat hit all my tastebud cylinders.Salty, earthy, unctuous tastes, were all there.I'm not sure what Brand Angus they use, but it's a definite winner, in my mind.You could tell they "hand press" this hamburger, in house; just from seeing, and tasting the loose structure of the meat as it sat in the bun.Not Top 5, but definitely a "Top 10" on my Burger scale? Excellent burger.Good price, as well, $15.25, with friesI think they need a new pretzel bun, but that's just one man's opinion. It wasnt bad, but...The hand cut fries were also really good...Very crispy on the outside, pillowy soft, and a prominent potatoy taste, on the inside.The service was excellent, with the busy bartenders being very efficient with their movements.Most of the tables were filled, and more than half the bar stools were filled, when I was there at 6pm, and service did not falter.Parking was relatively easy this evening at 6pm ish, as there is a parking lot behind it, and there is street parking..I have passed there when the lot was filled to capacity, and most of the close street parking was taken, and have had to park a distance away.As I was paying the bill, and complimenting the burger to the bartender, she shared that Burgers are 1/2 off on Mondays and Thursdays?They also have a lot of Happy Hour Food specials, that are on their website, like 1/2 price wings one day, $4 Taco Tuesdays, and other things I didnt pay attention to, but noted, for future reference ?Farrells of Brooklyn ,263 Higbie LaneWest IslipRight before the Higbie, Udal Rd split03/13/24“
“Great place and I'll keep going but they need to improve the food. Please owners get with the kitchen/cooks. E.g the Turkey club..not sure what it was but never seen a Turkey club like that and it wasn't great . Again great place and the food isn't terrible ..only okay..and I've heard this from several people . If they address this food issue it'll probably make huge difference in business.“
“Vegetarian options: Chef is always so wonderful when we ask to adjust popular apps to be vegan friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: My MIL is in a wheelchair and they always go above and beyond to make her happy and always find a place for her chair.“
“Best steak! Insignia who?????? Paces is the way to go, first they got the best bartender in town glean and the manager Patrick the manager one of the best persons I’ve meet in a restarunt as well, both treated me with respect and like family !! Deff will be back and food amazing and drinks are to die “
“We enjoyed dinner at The Linwood on Easter Sunday. Excellent service... great cocktails, delicious crispy cheese curds. Halibut was delicious! My husband had the sliders which he enjoyed. Two people had the gnocchi. My friend thought the gnocchi dish was good but a bit strong perhaps because of the chorizo. We drive from the north shore to the south shore for The Linwood... and we're never disappointed!“
“We had my sister’s baby shower here over the weekend & we’re thrilled with how everything came out. The party room is very spacious and comfortable. The food was delicious and the service was amazing! The staff was super attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend considering Nosh for your next party event!!“
“We've been to the Lake House many times. The food is always good. Service was good. I thought prices were very high as compared to the portion size. I don't know if I will be returning any time soon and judging by the relatively empty dining room, maybe many others feel the same way.“
“I ordered superbowl catered food from Riley Fibbers in East Islip. The whole process was seamless. I placed my order earlier in the week, paid, and was asked what time I'd like to pick my order up. When I arrived to pick up my order they had a server in charge of all the to go orders and everything was ready and waiting. All trays, and containers were clearly labeled. The portions were great and all the food was delicious. I frequent this location often knowing the large range of drinks and beer on tap, the owners and employees are great and pleasant, and all their food including their specials are always delicious! Go check them out, there are 2 locations in East Islip and Selden.“
“My 2nd time at this amazing establishment. The service was excellent just like the first time. I enjoyed an espresso flight that was so good!!! My husband enjoyed all his food and he's a hard sell. Only good things to expect from Restoration Kitchen & Cocktails!“
“I had my baby shower at Goldy's Gems in November of 2023 and was absolutely thrilled by the customer service, food and atmosphere. Our guests raved about the food and how their glass was never empty, thanks to the chef, servers/bartenders! It's such a trendy place and gives off awesome vibes. We enjoyed the shower so much, that we wanted to hold our son's Baptism at another one of the restaurant groups locations. We chose to have the event at Post Office cafe and once again they knocked our socks off. We were fans just on an ordinary day, so we just knew the events would be even better and we were right. Melissa, Chris, Chris and our servers/bartender once again were amazing in every way. During our planning we also found out they just had a renovation in our event room that made it look so bright and welcoming. The staff is extremely accommodating, especially on the day of when it comes to decor setup. We were able to bring our decor earlier in the day and then have someone set up about a half hour-hour early so that when our guests arrived all was in its place. The staff at Post Office even offered to assist with some setup as long as it was simple placement. If you are ever in need of an event space, I would highly suggest Post Office Cafe and Goldy's Gems or any restaurant in this restaurant group, you just can't go wrong!“
“Me and my partner went to this fine restaurant for our dinner this evening and we put expectations we're very much exceeded. Our server was Alyssa and she was awesome even though she was super busy she was able to be there whenever we needed her. We will definitely be back her soon, knowing that we feel welcomed with amazing service and great meals.“
“My family and I tried Park Avenue Grill because of their large gluten free menu. The brunch food was excellent. I tried the gluten free churro waffle bites, which were divine, and GF Tuscan eggs Benedict. There was also a decent sized vegan menu! Their specialty lattes were delicious. The atmosphere is cozy inside and they have an outdoor patio! All in all, I'm excited to go back and try more of the menu, maybe dinner next time.Dietary restrictions: They have an extensive gluten free menu and a dedicated space for itKid-friendliness: They had a decent sized kids menu that offers gluten free“
“This is a hidden gem in the heart of Farmingdale. Food was excellent! Our new favorites - Planteen and Mangú! Excellent, friendly and attentive service. Very lovely cute place! Love the yarn of basket on second floor. Couldn't resist but to sit on the glider & start knitting!“
“This place is awesome. We've been here several times since it has opened in Plainview and we've never been disappointed by the meal. Today we had the chicken wings as appetizer, the Reuben and the Eggs Benedict made up our main. Everything was totally delicious. The Shed lemonade well worth it. The service was fantastic, thank you Eraldo F. From previous visits we've enjoyed the chicken and waffles, omelet, chilaquiles(was a special, not on regular menu) and so much more!!!“
“We ALWAYS LOVE dining at RCD. The ambiance is awesome. The food flavors are masterfully paired. The service is friendly.I get the strawberry fields salad with chicken. My husband got The Who; I wanted to eat his too lol! The Truffle fries are everything good and more.The owner is pleasant. She has a passion for RCD and it shows. I enjoy our conversations.I continue to bring new guests and all leave happy and well-fed.You will love this place. I do!!!“
“we had an incredibly romantic valentine's day at whalers. delicious cocktails, perfect food, beautiful setting. we were so happy we brought our parents back the following week and had another positively exquisite dining experience. thank you, whalers!“
“New favorite spot!Came for breakfast here and loved everything about it!Service was excellent! Our waitress was lovely and helped us decide what we were having. the menu has staples and not so average but delicious options- win! Even the fruit was so so sweet!Had the ricotta hot honey sourdough with fresh blue berries and omelets that were cooked to perfection.AND great music! We will be back for sure!“
“My Wife and I hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Library Cafe, Melissa was our coordinator and she was flawless with the planning, she had answers to all of our questions and understood our budget limitations, adapted to our one off requests and ensured us a great time. The day of event, Mike was our guardian angel, as soon as we got to the venue he had set up our welcome sign and all of our accessories that we assigned to some of our bridal party. He was on top of drink requests, music, and food to the point our guests were complimenting how incredible he was. He ran a 3 person show single handedly with no hiccups. The food was delicious and the space was great to fit our large party. We will absolutely be booking with them again for a future event.“
“Only got a coffee but it was very good. Place is not very spacious but atmosphere is great. Old school classic dinette. Not many places like this around anymore. Employees are very friendly. No gimmicks, no new wave fusion cuisine, no "modern" decor, just good food at a good price served by good people.Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely not getting a wheelchair in these tight quarters.“
“We went for my Mom's birthday dinner and we had a good time. Our server Spencer was lovely and the place had a nice atmosphere despite the lighting. It was very empty this Sunday evening but it took quite a while for our meals to come. The food was great with decent portions for the price. The chicken meatballs were filling and the passion fizz drink was tasty.My mom got an orange and vanilla creme brulee for her birthday on the house that she absolutely enjoyed. Just wish they had more non pork options and meals more kid friendly on the menu (we weren't the only party with children while we were there so definitely considered a family friendly establishment).“
“Monday through Thursday 3:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. full bar full menu even longer on like Friday and Saturday or something like that. Sunday might be like an early night I think. But nobody's open like they are. There's a crowd. There's ladies this dudes I mean I guess if that's what you're into hahaha lol. Great “
“Awesome food truck!!!! Have to say some of the best food I have gotten out of a food truck! Used him for a work event at the end of last year! People still talk about the event and the food! Had delicious sandwiches my favorite was the Korean sandwich with the Korean French fries!!! And the tacos…. Wish he had a spot so I can get them whenever I want. Chef Graham was very accommodating with the menu and the suggestions helped a lot! Thank you and I will be using you again!“
“We had an awesome server. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We had 2 appetizers, the mushroom flatbread and burata. Our dinners were awesome also. So many nice things to say. They were both filling and delicious. We had an enjoyable evening and will gladly come back.“
“The aroma of beef and bacon was so amazing walking down Main street, we had to pop in for a quick bite while running some errands. So glad we did. The staff was helpful and attentive. The cocktail menu was clever as well as festive. The menu has all the right snacks and hand helds for one or a group. The events board has something posted for every day of the week. We had the Drunk Chicken Sammy with sweet potato tots and the We're Jammin Burger with battered fries. The vodka sauce with burrata elevated the chicken to the next level. Fig jam and candied bacon on the burger was on point. I will definitely partake in snacks the next time we are there for HH.“
“This is one of our favorite places to eat and/or drink. The food is always outstanding. Although we were first disappointed to be seated in the back room, we soon realized that a fundraiser for Detective Diller's family was going on and we were happy to be able to listen to Mariano on the Piano. We had a lovely evening.“
“Had a very pleasant experience. Great dinner food. Had the turkey club panini and the veggie burger. I'd recommend both.The turkey club panini was a fresh take on turkey club. The tomato was still a bit cold which was odd, I thought it would be warm, but I had no issue with that. Good flavor.“
“Just had my sister's 70th surprise birthday here with 50 guests. Fantastic interior completely new interior open space with second floor dance lounge. Service and food were great. The owner has been in the bar - restaurant business for over 50 years in this area. Down the block from Long Island Railroad.“
“Great food, great service and cozy atmosphere!!! Love that place! We had such a nice evening with friends! Music is not too loud so you have have. Lovely conversation with your guests. Food is fresh and delicious. And also my Allagash White beer came nice and cold in a frosty glass! We'll be back again soon!“
“What a find! When a little snow scares off lesser cafes from opening, Hometown pulls up the slack. Old school rugged mindsets and hearty meals for more than reasonable prices.I'm glad my usual breakfast stop was closed, Hometown is my new favorite!Eggs bacon toast and coffee done right. Came out fast after ordering. You cant go wrong.Fabulous service. I noted everyone knew customers names as they entered. That is a great sign. It was like being at an aunts home or at Grandma's.Cozy place with a fireplace going too!Forget the diners, hometown is the perfect stop.“
“Perfect place to go to on any day, although the game atmosphere on the weekends is a party; crowded but not overcrowded and everyone is friendly. During the week it is quieter and easy to get a table. The servers know their jobs well and are attentive when you need it without overdoing it.The menu has a different selection from what I expected. There is delicious beer cheese soup, thinly sliced reuben sandwiches with sauerkraut and dressing, various salads such as fantasia salmon salad, buffalo wings, calamari, quesadillas and many more selections including a brunch on Sundays. I don't give 5 stars on food unless it is incredibly special, but this place deserves a very high 4 stars not only for the food but for the quick order taking and serving. Pricing is average unless you are a big drinker; if you are drinking, there are a huge variety of beers and other alcoholic drinks.There are about 50 live streaming tv's on every wall, including on the outside wall if you prefer to eat outdoors.Great place to go to with friends and family. Changing Times Pub has to be tried out!Parking: There are parking spaces all along the front and back of Changing Times, but there is also a large lot right next to the small group of connected stores that this pub is a part of.“
“So glad we went! My wife and I came in thinking we would try the place out for hamburgers. Thanks to our superb waiter (I believe his name is Marty), he told us about the special that they had, and it was too good of a deal to pass up. The chicken sandwich was delicious, and truth be told would have been well worth it at the regular price, but as a special, it was a steal!For an app we decided to split the pretzel. It was quite large, had great dips to go along with it, and came out warm, fresh, and perfect.The chicken sandwich (we both ordered it) was flavorful and moist, and great sauces to accompany it, which we enjoyed with the French fries. We could not finish it all, but that did not stop us from enjoying the milk shakes at the end.I'm so grateful for the waiter telling us about the special, and he was extremely attentive and personable. I can honestly say he treated us as if we were dear friends, and could not have been better.Looking forward to going back and eventually trying the burgers, as they looked fantastic!!“
“A hidden gem on Long Island. Everyone should know this place by now.Don't know where to start? Read the menu entirely, and you will know that the chowder soups are the best. Do not skip these soups. You'll want a bowl, not a cup, and even then, you'll be asking for seconds. Don't sleep on the seafood bisque either. Definitely buy some to take home.The appetizers were a bit small, but with the prices of everything these days, you get what you paid for. The crab cakes were delicious and full of crab while other places go heavy on the breading instead.We ended up having the shrimp boat, shrimp po boy, blackened catfish tacos and shrimp salad. Everything was flavorful. Big portions as well.I do believe they are closed for the month of February but I will be going back myself when it opens in March.“
“Totally loved my experience today. Food was off the hook, and the service was amazing. Our dishes came out hot and delicious, perfectly seasoned. The owner/manager was polite and friendly. The place is spotless. Music was great, too! Definitely worth a visit!“
“JTI's is thee BEST! I highly recommend this place! Nick and team helped us host a luncheon after my grandmothers funeral. They were incredibly easy to work with, extremely helpful, and always responsive. Their customer service is second to none and the food is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time.“

“First time coming here. Their breakfast was truly great. The Hershey pancakes hit the spot and it was perfectly done. Huevos rancheros burrito and the breakfast dish (eggs/cornbeef hash/home fries) were delicious. We also purchase their peanut butter cheesecake and rainbow cake to take home. I’m not a fan of cheesecake and when I tried it, it blew my mind. (Tasted great!) Rainbow cake was delicious as well! Definitely going back to try out their lunch dishes.“
“Absolutely loved this place! The food isn't the best I've ever had but it is freshly prepared. What makes this place is the warm and cozy atmosphere and the excellent service! I love the real fireplace blazing away in the center of this little gem of a restaurant.“
“Tricia's cafe is filled with a 50's museum like decor. Small but quaint, the food is absolutely delicious. Fresh made food, homey vibes, the servers treat you like you are part of the family. A small spot with plenty of flavor, love and good vibes. Definitely will be stopping by again next time I visit Robert Moses beach.P.S. Best steak quesadilla I have ever tried!“
“We were promptly shown to our table and the chef/owner came over to welcome us. The passion for his food was evident. The lobster bisque was highly recommended in the reviews and they were 100% right. The best I've had with big lumps of lobster meat. Everything else was as delicious and enjoyed by everyone. We will be back!“
“It is one of the most hidden gems on Long Island. If I tell you the food is so fresh. I mean you have to wait for it to come off fresh off the grill. The flavors are so mouth watering. Thank god it’s 25 mins from my home or I’d be there weekly. I do warn you that if you taste their tzatziki you can never go anywhere else. It’s to die for!!!“

“I had a party with 50+ people and thanks to the efforts of my Hostess with the Mostess crew, it went off flawlessly! I was provided 2 servers and a bartender and they began working immediately upon arrival. They were all professional, courteous and extremely pro-active! I didn’t have to ask them to do anything-they simply took the initiative themselves! I highly recommend this company as this was not the first time I used them and have always been happy the day after!!“
“I had an issue with my room facing the open atrium area and the noise level from the bar extending past quiet hour. The front desk manager, Stephen, immediately addressed my concern and moved me to a room in a more desirable location. I also found the front desk and concierge lounge employees to be very friendly and helpful. My room service attendant, Holly, made sure my order was as specified and she delivered it with a smile!! I really appreciated her kind demeanor. I felt my business mattered to everyone I came in contact with at this Marriott property and would not hesitate staying here again when my travels bring me back to Long Island.“
“Waitress was really nice and accommodating.The food came out pretty fast.But even without extra jalapeños and BBQ sauce it was pretty bland.Think most of the food is from frozen so it's ok for the price. But my the kids Mac and cheese was dry and had no real cheese or flavor.The blackberry fribble was great I'm lactose intolerant and I suffered for it but I finished it haha.Overall great for dessert. But even with the kids menu and options, the food is lacking. Also the Mac and cheese bites are basically little mozzarella Nugs. Not Mac and cheese!Kid-friendliness: Great options for kids. But taste isn't great. I have a picky Eater she's eat plain foods but even hers was too bland. Dry Mac and cheese with no cheese at all. Basically just yellow macaroni. She added water to it. And asked where the cheese was ?“
“Super team and a great family! Dom and his son’s run a tight ship with a great menu. It’s not you’re typical food truck. They have an extensive menu from soup to philly cheesesteaks, cubans, chicken cutlet heroes, pastas and on and on.Try the chicken bomber or on Friday the shrimp po’boy sandwich.They also offer premade home dinners to take home. Call ahead because they make everything fresh“
“AMAZING! We had a private party here and everything was perfect! Our guests have told us this was the best party and keep raving about everything! The food was delicious, as was the bourbon selection/drinks! The music they arranged for us was terrific! The service was top notch! The ENTIRE staff was so attentive, friendly and helpful! I could not have asked for a better evening for my husband's birthday. Chris was so helpful in arranging everything with me and had great ideas, as did the chef with the menu. Joe was fantastic in helping make sure the night was a hit. They even gave my husband a birthday gift, wow! I wish I knew everybody's name to mention them each individually because they were all so GREAT! We can't wait to go back for dinner and to try their other places. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to book a party or for a fun night out for dinner and drinks. Again, thank you all so much for making my husband's night truly magnificent!“
“The food was absolutely amazing and the service was great. Menu has a wonderful variety of food at a great price point. Very happy with my experience here and will be revisiting again soon.Parking: You can park on the street on behind the main street strip they have free parking lots that can get full quite quickWheelchair accessibility: Leveled floor“
“A great local getaway! A weekend visit or on your weekday lunch break... drive down, eat your lunch while enjoying the cool breeze and pretty waves. Bring the kids to enjoy the playground area. Cute Tiki Bar/Restaurant, Outdoor Deck, Outdoor Showers and Plenty of Seating, Tables, Benches and Gazebo for a shady retreat. Stop by and take a look if you're in the Islip area, just off downtown Main Street, South all the way to the end.“
“Food is great here. Had the cheesesteak Chiddys way. Amazing! Also had the Hot Dog with onions mustard and sauerkraut. I'm not sure if the bun was buttered but it was delicious. Also ordered Cheesesteak in a wrap instead of bun.Very good.Also ordered the chili, it was ok. I like my chili with a little more veggies and beans and a little more soupy. This was like an Italian meat sauce consistency and a bit too tomato-y if that makes sense . The place is cute and the staff was friendly and helpful in describing the food. Overall I would order again and will try other items.“
