Their milkshakes are really good too, and the fries stay crisp. The mac and cheese was a disappointment though, and I wish they had a spicier or at least more garlicky sauce. Their sauce leans more on the sweet side, which isn't really my preference, and is why I personally prefer Sheikh's more. But overall, not bad.

Unfortunately, not the best visit back. Now it is important to note this is my second visit back,…read moreas my first visit was of the upmost pleasant experience. So I'm not excited about leaving this review. Service: (+) What I will say is the cashier was very nice and welcoming and he seemed passionate about his job throughout conversation! He asked us what we tried the first time and provided explanations and different options on the menu for us to explore. Ambiance: (+) still clean inside (-) it's still SO COLD in the restaurant. We had originally ordered to stay, however after sitting there for a couple minutes while waiting for the order we changed it to go- prefer to eat at home where there is sufficient heat. (-) Another thing was we weren't able to hear each other over the very loud music playing. Not only while we were ordering (we had to ask for the cashier to repeat himself and had to repeat ourselves), but also when we were trying to talk to each other as we were waiting for food. Food: {we ordered the Yoyo Mix Plate, double burger, lotus biscuit milkshake, and Mac and cheese} (+) the chicken sandwich mild is still really delicious, although I'd like to see more coleslaw in it, in order to even out the flavors. (-) the smash burgers were dry. Not like the first time we were here where it was toasted but still moist. (-) lotus biscuit milkshake was good, but didn't seem to be as rich as the one we had the first time. It was watery- seemed to have ice cream to milk ratios off (-) Mac and cheese was my ultimate disappointment. I'm huge on Mac and cheese and the first time we came it was white cheddar and literally top tier flavors. This time around the Mac and cheese was yellow (?)... and it tasted like the Kraft Mac and cheese powder. Really not pleasant at all To me, CONSISTENCY IS KEY. I truly believe a restaurant has hit its peak performance when it achieves consistency. Here, unfortunately, it is missing. To me, the very evident change in the color of the Mac and cheese speaks volumes. It doesn't allow you to speculate whether maybe you might be tasting something different- it's just outright in your face different, and the taste is inconsistent. And not only with this, but also the other parts of the meal I had mentioned above. I can now see some of what had been mentioned by other yelp reviewers to be true. I don't believe I will be back- but do wish this restaurant the greatest success and hope they see this and take the feedback constructively.

These were good, crisp, hot, and the general tsos sauce it's coated in is bright, sweet, and tangy. Onto the main event. The french onion burger which includes a double stack smash patty blend of brisket, chuck, and shortrib, topped with caramelized onions, provolone, garlic aioli on brioche with a side of au jus. I tempered my expectations but this burger just blew me away. The beef blend itself is incredible and makes for a juicy and ultra beefy bite. The garlic aioli wasn't overpowering and the caramelized onions added that nice bit of sweetness. Dipping it in the au jus just took it to another level. I was truly in bliss eating this. The fries crazy enough were strikingly close to the ones offered at the golden arches, which I'm fond of. My only knock is that they were a bit well done so while they were very crispy, they were also a bit hollow inside. Our waitress was lovely on this night, shoutout Taylor R. She took the time to offer food suggestions for my friend and he ended up loving it. She also did the REALLY cool thing where she noticed my drink was empty and brought me a refill before I needed to ask. Will be returning for this burger.

It puts all other barbecue spots to shame. The chicken is so juicy and flavorful even without the barbecue sauce. The garlic mash is well-made and seasoned properly and the mac & cheese is gooey and creamy. I will definitely refer my family members to this place in the future.

I've eaten barbecue all over the country--from New York to Texas, including Austin and Houston--and I never expected some of the best BBQ I'd ever have to be right here in West Babylon on Long Island. Everything is smoked fresh twice a day: once for the lunch crowd and again for dinner. You can absolutely taste the difference. The ribs, pulled pork, and chicken are unbelievably tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. The meat practically falls off the bone, with just the right amount of fat to keep every bite moist and flavorful. I also recommend the mashed potatos with beans on top, and the chili mac & cheese. Get the BBQ trifecta like I did and I promise you'll be glad you did. The cornbread deserves its own mention. It's incredibly moist and delicious. My favorite way to eat it is lightly toasted until it's golden brown with a generous spread of creamy butter, but it's fantastic straight out of the bag too. The BBQ sauce ties everything together perfectly. It has a rich, smoky flavor with just the right balance of sweetness and tang. It's so good that you'll find yourself putting it on everything without overpowering the meat itself. What really sets Bitterman's apart, though, is the value and the hospitality. Joe clearly takes pride in what he serves, and it shows in every tray that comes out of the kitchen. He is such a nice guy too! The portions are enormous (there was enough for tonight and tomorrows dinner with my wife), the quality is consistently outstanding, and you leave feeling like you got far more than you paid for (you can't say that about many other restaurants these days). If you're looking for authentic, top-quality barbecue on Long Island, stop searching. Bitterman's has earned a lifelong customer, and I'll gladly make the drive back again and again. Five stars without hesitation. Stop by and tell them Jason sent you!

The location has two picnic style tables outside and a few small round tables inside. The customer service was spectacular. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and patient while answering all of our questions. We ordered two double cheddar bacon smash burgers and added a few complimentary toppings including lettuce, tomato, onions, and crispy onions. They also had several sauces to choose from. Since everything was made to order, the burgers took a little longer to come out, but they were fresh and worth the wait. We also ordered onion rings, which came out first and were also freshly prepared. For drinks, we ordered the Oreo Coco and a Strawberry Lemon Tea. We thoroughly enjoyed everything. My only suggestion would be to include a dipping sauce with the onion rings instead of just ketchup packets. Other than that, we had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

The burger was actually very good, they had plenty of toppings and options I would definitely recommend getting the bacon jam that was amazing. The tea I got was also very good and tasted freshly made. However there was some things I would fix. The fries and chicken tenders we tried were lack luster and very store bought quality. And they didn't really have any dipping sauces that weren't packets or pre jarred from the store. Also the lady who took our order also was cooking and cleaning I felt so bad. But, My god this lady can cook up a BANGING burger.

**GAS STATION SOUL FOOD EXTRAVAGANZA** **SOME OF LONG…read moreISLAND:S BEST WINGS** IT'S BEEN A CRAZY RIDE As Twimonisha Mason -the owner of Winnie:s Takeout - explained to me late one evening, she doesn't mind being called Winnie mistakenly by her customers, as the restaurant is named after her late beloved mother. In fact, Twimonisha began her journey cooking soul food with her mother at the age of eight, and even experimented as a young child with different recipes found in soul food cookbooks. And so, it can easily be understood how, many decades later, she has now become a master of her craft. But her journey to the present has not been without great adversity. For example, after using her family's savings to establish a flourishing restaurant in Amityville Village, the building and interior was heavily damaged by vandals. Even worse, their insurance company refused to pay for the over $100,000.00 required to repair the damages. And after struggling to reopen, and then surviving the Covid 19 pandemic, the building's landlord refused to renew the lease in 2022. A NEW BEGINNING Fast forward to 2023, and a new temporary location was found for the restaurant to operate - in of all places - inside the food mart of a Conoco gas station. And believe me this far from a perfect solution, as the space is very small, and as such it's take-out only. Also, they're unable to sell beverages because it would create conflict with the food mart. But as I'll explain, Twimonisha and her family have become experts at using this small space to create some of the best soul food I have ever experienced. OH MY GOD ! THE WINGS ! Ask anyone that knows me, and they'll tell you I absolutely love chicken wings of any type. And so - over the years - I've tracked down some of the best spots to satisfy my wing addiction. But after reading my Yelp friend Gail's recommendation, and then biting into one of Twimonisha's wings for the first time - I knew I had tasted something extraordinary. And admittingly, I've been looking to top that first bite here ever since - but I'm sure I'll be chasing that monkey for the foreseeable future. And these wings are always meaty and super crispy, so if you pair them with some of Winnie's fantastic sides, you've got yourself a killer meal. In addition, if YOU are interested in some wing nirvana, I reccomend starting off with the Lemon pepper, Fried Jerk, or Fried Garlic Glaze options. Even more, there's a ten Wings for $10 special, and you can order it with two different flavors. Mama Mia! SHRIMP ! Twimonisha does a fantastic job with shrimp dishes. The Fried Shrimp are crispy, salty, and a little sweet, and the Sauteed Shrimp version is delicious also. But I have to say, even though the Sautéed Jerk Shrimp here are not fried, they're still one of the best shrimp dishes I've ever eaten, and are definitely a must try. SPEAKING OF JERK... If you're a fan of Jamaican Jerk flavor, in addition to the shrimp, they offer really tasty Jerk Chicken, Jerk Ribs, and a flavorful Jerk Salmon. And since I mentioned salmon, it is also available Pan Seared, and Deep Fried. FRIED MAGIC I'm not sure if it's the batter used, the marination or even the cooking technique, but what I'm definitely sure of is that anything fried at Winnie's is crispy and delicious. So whether you order the Fried Wings, Chicken, or Pork Chops, you are in for a crispy magical treat. THE SIDES ! The meat and seafood dishes at Winnie's are perfectly complimented with some of the tastiest sides around. The Mac-N-Cheese is tender, has a cheese pull, and is cooked crispy on top. The Collard Greens are tender and flavorful. The Potato Salad is creamy, slightly sweet, and a little spicy, but they always run out of it, Oy Vey! And last but not least is the Candied Yams, which are without a doubt, the best I've ever tasted anywhere. And I'm not kidding when I say I've seen people order just a side of the Candied Yams, and then walk away with a big smile - they're that good! IT'S AN EXPERIENCE So to visit Winnie's Takeout, you have to drive on Route 110 in Amityville, and search for the big red Conoco gas station sign (there's no sign advertising Winnie's here). Then find a spot to park in the crappy-looking gas station, and proceed to walk into the time-worn food mart. And if all of this sounds a little sketchy to you, it is! But I love it! Because it's a perfect example of absolutely fantastic food being served from a place where you would never expect to find it. And as a matter of fact, I brought a good friend here for lunch a few weeks ago. And then, during a later conversation, he admitted to returning multiple times with others so they could sample the wings, jerk shrimp, and yams. So please give Winnie's Takeout a try, and I'll bet you'll have the same wonderful experience.

I was so happy to find Winnie's again! I used to go there when they were located in the village,…read moreand I always remembered how much I enjoyed the food. I had been looking for them for a while, so when I finally discovered they were now located inside a gas station, I had to stop by! Don't let the location fool you! There isn't any seating, so it's definitely a grab-and-go spot, but Winnie has NOT lost her special touch when it comes to the food. The yams were absolutely spectacular definitely my favorite! The macaroni and cheese was good, and the fried wings were crispy, fresh, and delicious. One thing to know is that the fried chicken is made fresh to order, so we waited about 15-20 minutes. But honestly, I'd rather wait a little longer and get hot, freshly cooked chicken than something that has been sitting around. I'm glad I finally found Winnie's again, and I will definitely be back whenever that soul food craving hits!
