    The drinks were good and cheap. My quesadilla burger was cooked to perfection. A quick dinner out with no wait is alright with me.

    Look at the picture. Guess which Salad cost more than $15.00. This was my second and last time ordering to-go. First time went smooth. Price wise and taste. This time I felt fooled with the costly tiny Applebees salad. Quinoa is a highly costly product. My suggestion, never order any salad with Quinoa. You will pay a high prices and you will feel rip off.

    Hi! and greetings to all my Yelp friends. Thursday nights are good for Thursday Night Football, local neighborhood bars, cold draft beers and best friends. Local Applebee's in East Islip has always been a neighborhood favorite meeting spot. And I mean there's not one time I pass this place driving on Sunrise Highway that this parking lot is not jammed. Tonight the bar was not packed at all, I guess our local Sports teams are no longer contenders and relevant. Gas keeps spiking up and the holidays draw near. I guess I will be number one customer again for a while. As most will be pulling in their belts and pinching pennies for the next couple months. Heck ! I'm still traveling on business and have to eat, so you'll be seeing me coming on through the door. I really enjoy the neighborhood connections that Applebee's has. Each local Applebee's bar becomes part of their hometown. Applebee's celebrates their local connections with pictures of the High School sports teams, Universities and cool Long Island sites to see. Each Applebee's is different. The towns and collages on the walls will be in tune with their location. I enjoy the pick 2 for $20 Specials Applebee's features, I usually upgrade for the small $3 and get the tender baby back ribs. The meal comes with two sides I recommend the mac and cheese and a stuffed baked potato. You also have a choice of getting 2 salads or a single large appetizer to share with your friend. Your choose. I generally always sit at the bar, even to eat. This has been constantly one of my Yelp tips. If you have the option sitting at the bar, this avoids the ridiculous long wait and service is always quick and with a smile. Your server is your barmaid who's right in front of you. I see the long wait for food and service being one of the main yelpers complaints in Many restaurant reviews. This is one of the reasons my visits and reviews usually rate a little higher than other folks. The reason why is I take control and make the occasion or venue fit my needs. If I sense my dining experience isn't going well, I speak up immediately with the manager. And right away I'll have a better day! Well the service and the food here was great for a sports bar. I was very pleased and will not hesitate to come to this Applebee's again. I guess that's why this place can be sometimes crowded. Folks know where to go. Where everybody knows your name. You got to go where everybody knows your name...I'm BIG JIM !

The place is big inside, with some nice outdoor seating with games for the kids. Service is quick and friendly. But let's get to the important part - the lobster rolls. I've been burned before, shelling out north of $30 for a roll and being severely disappointed with the lobster count. But at Jackson Hall they deliver! These things are HUGE! I went with the lobster bomb this time with crab, and it was great with the bisque. I wish the bread was more like a sourdough though. If you're a lobster roll fan, you need to give this place a visit!!

    I was telling a co-worker of mine about Al Fenza's Jackson Hall food video reviews on social media…read more Turns out my boss is a longtime personal friend of Chef Mike. So my wife and I decided to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary dinner at Jackson Hall. Lemme tell you...those videos and all the pictures are worth a million words. The food here is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! My wife and I shared The Lobster Bomb, and we each ordered a Connecticut Lobster Roll. The portions? They were HUGE!!! We both had plenty of leftovers to take home (and for a guy like me who can pack it in...that's saying SOMETHING!!!) The service? Jamie P was so sweet and kind. My wife who is Puerto Rican said Jamie was very amable. Absolutely true!! The menu is loaded with so many different and pleasing options. It's going to take several (and I mean SEVERAL) trips back here to try everything that's on the menu. Solid 15 out of 10 stars for Jackson Hall!! Can't wait to go back.

    Three star reviews are never meant to be negative. Sometimes it's just how things go. Nothing is…read morebad per se, but nothing is necessarily great either. That was kind of the case a few weeks ago at Dark Horse Tavern in Bay Shore. I came here with some buddies for dinner on a Sunday night and things were totally fine. I mean like I said, I can't speak to anything being truly negative. Dark Horse had a relatively spacious and inviting interior with a little holiday flair. Our waitress was friendly enough and our food came at a good pace. And what I ordered wasn't too shabby...though I guess if there's anything to say about my three star feelings, it might be there. Now Dark Horse did have a decently-sized menu, but after visiting a brewery prior to this dinner trip, I was feeling something simple like a burger. Featuring a juicy Lucy sounded like a win as did the idea of Cajun fries. Those spuds were rather good, though the juicy part of said Lucy wasn't really that juicy. Despite having never been to Minnesota, I know this type of burger really needs some gooey cheese coming out of it and this one lacked that. The burger itself was good, but like an "easily-forgettable" good. The same could be said for their Dark Horse Lager beer. I've been to other Dark Horses on the island and have seen (and I believe had) this brew, but for whatever reason it just seemed very bland and basic. Perhaps after having some more elaborate beers prior my tastebuds were looking for something with more zing, but I can't say for sure. All I know is between this and the basic burger, I really didn't have anything great (or ultimately negative) to say. Overall, yeah I suppose some of that sounds negative and a three star review feels a little meh towards other prospective eaters and readers of this review, but that's me telling the truth here. If I were in Bay Shore and someone suggested Dark Horse for dinner I probably wouldn't say no because just about everything will be decent enough, but if you're specifically asking me for recommendations in the area, I'm probably going to mention a bunch of other places instead. Just sayin'.

Driving up to the stand alone restaurant the offered plenty of parking and outside dining which was very attractive and looks relaxing. The young lady was very polite and attentive. She really was helpful as I am a stranger to the menu. I ordered a burger with double meat and everything on it. That was my mistake it wasn't working it was entirely too much. The plain burger caught my eye but I switched from my original thought. I had onion rings and they were cooked a lot different than what I have had in the past. I also had a hotdog. It came plain but that give you condiments. They hotdog was actually good. I just become messy Marvin when I eat hotdogs. I should have gotten ice cream. Maybe next time. The bathroom is pleasantly clean and I love the walls. This was a good experience! If I am in the area I would stop by again
