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

The food was amazing, the bartender himself took the tip from our change lying next to the drinks... he gave it back because we pointed it out to him. The atmosphere was ok... there was a live band playing... it was nice to listen and dance a

Went there yesterday for late lunch and drinks. This place did not disappoint. Service was exceptional (Danny and Michele), bartender made an amazing dirty martini and the food....NOT YOUR TYPICAL BAR FOOD. Wings were amazing and the steak sandwich was so freakin delicious. I can't wait to go back to taste more menu items. They have live music on Fridays and Saturdays. OMG also bingo on Wednesday nights with I beleive 1/2 price wings. So if you wanna place to chill, have a few drinks and feel like yr family.. this is the place

Went there last Thursday for the buy one get one burger special. I think the regular price for their burgers is a little high, but for buy one get one they were very good. They had a pretty decent lunch crowd. Good selection of beers on tap. Bartender, who was also the server for lunch was terrific. Got our orders for how each of us wanted our burgers cooked right.
