    Vegan jackfruit sandwich
    Christina R.

    We only just left and I am sitting in the car writing this review. That's how good it is. First off this is not a 'sit down' place. There are only a few tables and there is no table service. You order at the counter. We did not know this before coming so that being said, we did take a table and sit. We were greeted warmly and the ambiance is very casual. The line at one point went nearly out the door for take out orders. The food came out fast and we were checked on to see if everything is okay. The food was AMAZING. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich and I ordered the vegan barbecue jackfruit sandwich. It was absolutely amazing. We opted for 3 sides: Mac and cheese, cornbread and baked beans. I did not love the Mac and cheese but loved everything else. Just so good from start to finish. Great work guys!!

    BBQ platter
    M T.

    We stopped in for lunch after searching BBQs in the area. We ordered some wings, brisket, ribs, onion rings, mac' n cheese and cornbread. The place is small with about 6 tables. The wings were good, and the brisket had a decent flavor and was falling apart in your mouth. The ribs were lacking meat and the flavor was just ok. The onion rings were mostly batter and overfried and the mac' n cheese was cheesy but had a lot of pepper on it. The cornbread wasn't bad and was moist. One thing that I noticed was two of the cooks in the back weren't wearing gloves while cooking. It looked like one of them was all the way in the back, possibly cooking the meats, and the other one was working on the fryer, just grabbing the food without gloves or a hat/hair net and throwing it in the deep fryer, but I guess everything gets killed in the hot oil. Overall, the food was nothing great.

    It's a good place for BBQ ribs. Price went up pretty high compared to the menu a year ago I saw. I got here Sunday around 5pm and want to order half rack of ribs but they did not have enough left so I had to get mix of rib and sausage and 2 sides with corn bread. Cajun fries was alright. The onion rings look great but had no flavor. Sausage wasn't that great. The ribs was fantastic. The place is small with 3-4 tables to sit. There was one table with 4 guests dining in when I was there and somehow the staff bring out empty basket that supposed to be full of fries, so they definitely need to impress their service. One big thing, if you want to order ribs, make sure to call in first or come in way early before their close time or you will end up like me with the food I didn't plans to order.

    Side of onion rings

    My review is really a 3.5 star review but we gon' round up to 4 because that is the right thing to do. The restaurant is located in a strip mall type place and there is a good amount of parking but unfortunately, the dining area is very small. If you are a large party, I would recommend getting your order to go. The staff is all very, very friendly and they were working very hard to fill orders in a timely manner but even still the time that passed from our order to our food was uncomfortably long. Like so long that we watched another couple eat their whole meal, clean up, leave, and we were still waiting long. I mean, I guess the food is THAT good that order are coming in and the food is cooked fresh on the spot but still, the wait time is an issue (especially if you are hungry) On to the food: we got a little of everything including a pulled pork plate, a meat tornado, sides of onion rings, fries and cornbread. The meats were tasty and the portions were ample. The sides were fried expertly. The cornbread was moist but could have used additional butter, perhaps on the side. We also got the sauce tour but were very disappointed in the viscosity of the sauces and the flavors (sadly, our favorite one was the sauce that came out of the jar) but we are also sauce snobs so take that with a grain of salt. I would absolutely eat there again and you should go and give them a try so they can bank some money and get a bigger spot! Maybe try ordering ahead too to minimize the wait.

    We tried to get into here about a year ago and they ran out of ribs so we decided to come back another time. We finally did and it's pretty great BBQ. We got the ribs, brisket, wings, Mac and cheese, baked beans, broccoli and a ton of sauces to dunk. You really only need the BBQ sauce or none at all because it's fantastic on its own. This is a very small delish little spot, like 4 tables small, so you may need to do take out. Slow down when looking g for it because you could pass it it's that small. The staff are very nice and accommodating, they assisted us with what to order. There's so much to choose from so it's honestly hard to make a decision what to eat. Try it out!

    Frank Sinatra?! I like this place

    Any place that has AC/DC crankin' and playing Baywatch on the TV is my kind of place. Big Belly Que is a BBQ spot that reminds me of Sempre Fame BBQ in Floral Park. Nothing fancy, just a couple of hard working folks trying to make some good 'Que. Located in the old Pudgies spot, Big Belly Que isn't big at all. It's really small inside with just a few tables, if you had 10 people dining inside it would be tight. Big Belly Que is nice for grabbing a family BBQ meal to go. My wife & I walk in and grab a seat. We ordered a family meal to go but decided to first dine inside. The family meal has a lot to offer! We ordered some deelish Onion Rings, Two Types of Chicken Wings, Coleslaw, Baked Beans, Corn Bread and Mac & Cheese with shells. As far as meats, they ran out of sliced Brisket! The family meal doesn't come with ribs so we had pulled pork and pulled brisket. Everything tasted pretty good, there was a lot of sauced up meat so I really couldn't judge their BBQ ribs or brisket. The owner was super nice, he came out and explained how the business started with his partner. He's a local guy who opened this business in March. We had leftovers for lunch the next day, the family meal was a nice choice for us.

    nashville hot chicken sandwich

    this place is unstoppable with the goodness, from the ribs, to the nashville hot chicken to that crazy hot dog with the baked beans on it i have yet to try anything bad..... well except for the time i accidentally ordered the ground beef burrito rather than the brisket burrito... don't do that, it was not good, especially when expecting to bite into a brisket burrito

    This place is so awesome. Had a big craving for BBQ in the Long Island area, and stumbled across this place. It's a smaller place, probably seats about 12-16 people at most. They had an awesome deal for their meats samplers. This is one of the first places I've been where both the meats and their sides were equally delicious. I ordered their ribs and pulled pork with a side of Mac and cheese and onion rings, with their cornbread. Their meats were tender, sauces elevated it to the next level. Their Mac and cheese was certainly one of the best flavored Mac and cheeses I've gotten at a bbq spot ever. Also they use shells so that holds up their creaminess of the Mac. Onion rings were crunchy and delicious. For me, personally, their corn bread was super moist, which I wasn't too much of a fan of but regardless everything was super spot on. I sampled their sausage and their brisket, and wow. Definitely going to order one of those on my combo platter next time. Brisket was juicy and tender. Sausage had a great smoke and slight sweetness, which a good chew. Their hot dog for kids was the size of an adult hot dog, but had a nice bite. Not to mention their fries are nice and crispy. The other side I sampled was their broccoli tossed with garlic I believe, but they really season everything so nicely. Their combos run for about $20, what a great bang for your buck. Love love love this place and will definitely come back!

    When we lived in Levittown there was a Hurricane wings on Hempstead Turnpike. It's now long gone…read morebut I always liked them better than that other big wing chain. That's why when we passed this location in a recent outing, I knew we needed to try it out. I got what use to be my usual, the cyclone boneless wings and it was just as I remember. They cyclone sauce is hot sauce mixed with ranch. The sides left something to be desired but you don't go there for their sides. You go for the wings and the sauce and the friendly fun, shipwrecked themed atmosphere. The people are nice and friendly and we enjoyed our lunch before making our way back home.

    Love the taste of Hurricane wings and knew that coming here would totally be worth the visit!!…read moreThere was a lot of open tables and seats, so we got seated easily. Our server left us for a long time and took almost 25 minutes before we got our orders taken. The wings were all cooked very well. My favorite sauces (despite not being a spice lover) is from their Signature sauces list: Firecracker (which tastes creamy and ranch-flavored but with some sweet chili flavors) and Dynamite (spicy honey mustard taste) as they are delicious. We got a great deal ordering on a Monday because there are daily specials *highly recommended to look at their daily deals. We were able to order 10 wings for $12.99 so we did about 4 orders of that!! They're the same price if you get boneless or bone-in. Both options tasted great, really just depends on how you want to eat them. The fries are extra on the side and are also fried well. Other sauces that were yummy are Mild and the BBQ (no spice at all and was a nice hint of sweetness). The classic flavors also hit well and were very yummy! A random plus about these wings is that even if you eat them as leftovers a couple of days later, they don't go soggy or shrink like other places!!! They are still closely delicious to as if they were fresh and have a good texture when eating them.

    For as long as I can remember I have wanted to check Faraday's out. Today was the day for lunch…read morewith my dad. As expected, it was a casual pub style spot with a bar and a small dining area in the back. For this Friday afternoon, it was quite busy. It was bustling with almost all the tables taken by the time we left. Our server was friendly and upbeat. She offered suggestions based on our preferences. We both ordered the same thing - burgers. They came out quickly. The burgers were big and yummy. They satisfied our craving perfectly.

I've been here on numerous occasions hoping that maybe this would finally be the visit where everything clicked. Unfortunately, it just hasn't happened. My experiences have been so-so, and more often than not they've been slightly disappointing. My biggest complaint has always been the food. My take has been it's been bland or uninspired. The French onion soup was just ok, and seemed like no effort putting this together. No provolone cheese option when I've ordered which is crazy. The Caesar salad tasted diluted, with lettuce that seemed waterlogged rather than crisp and fresh. Just overall underwhelming. The food is not necessarily terrible, but just mediocre and forgettable. Portion size is another problem. For what you're paying, the plates often feel surprisingly small. One example of this was the "Big C Burger," which was honestly a huge letdown. With a name like that you'd expect something substantial. Instead, the burger was tiny--maybe 4-5 ounces at most. At first glance you could barely even see the meat because the bun swallowed it. I ordered it medium and it came out completely overcooked, cooked to death really. The bun didn't help either--dense, dry, and overpowering the already small patty. The whole thing just felt poorly executed. Even the little details were off. I asked for olive oil on the side for a salad and what came out was clearly some generic vegetable oil. It felt like a lazy substitution, the kind of thing that makes you question how much care is going into the kitchen overall. To be fair, the one thing Faraday's consistently gets right is the atmosphere. The restaurant is has a cozy charming space with a warm pub feel. The indoor dining area although small has character and a comfortable vibe. The outdoor area is really nice too, and perfect for setting for a nice meal on a comfortable day. Service is good. I've not had any issues with any servers ever being inattentive. Occasionally some order mixups but quickly rectified. Unfortunately, that inviting setting hasn't translated to memorable meals. After several attempts over the years, Faraday's has remained one of those places that seems like it should be good--but for me, it just never quite hits.
