    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    First time around, we ordered the family special. Well worth every drop of BBQ. Second time around, ordered the burger and Nashville hot, and honestly I wish calories didn't count. Someone call the mayor from flavor town, because this place is awesome!!! Also -huge plus for playing some great bangers. Who doesn't like 90's grunge and alternative playing while grubbing on some stellar BBQ

    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

    If there's one restaurant in town I've tried to give a fair shot to over the years, it's Faraday's…read moreof Smithtown. 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.

    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.

Between the warm, cozy atmosphere and a live band playing, it felt festive without being chaotic. It's exactly what you want during the holidays. We went full "let's share everything" mode, starting with the Wood-Fired Artichoke-Spinach Dip Pizzetta, and wow. Spinach, artichokes, béchamel, shaved parm, mozzarella, garlic dressing, and baby arugula all working together in perfect harmony. Easy 10/10. I'm still thinking about it and already planning my next visit just to order it again. Next up was the crab rangoon dip, which was rich, indulgent, and dangerously good. Followed by the beer cheese jumbo pretzel. They wee soft, salty, and exactly what you want alongside drinks. Zero regrets. We wrapped things up with the Kung Pao Cauliflower Bites, and they were such a pleasant surprise. The tempura cauliflower stayed crispy, the General Tso's-style sauce had just the right balance of sweet and heat, and the cashews, sesame seeds, and scallions added great texture. Drink-wise, we shared a bottle of wine from their solid selection, but I also have to shout out their massive cocktail menu, so many options that I'll definitely be back to explore it properly next time. The cherry on top? We made our reservation on Yelp . Between the food, drinks, live music, and overall atmosphere, Husk and Vine was a total win for a night out. Can't wait to return!

The table next to us was also getting a little irritated. I ordered the special spicy rigatoni and chicken cutlet. The sauce was very good and mildly spicy but the chicken was tough and not good. Actually tasted old. My husband had the skirt steak and said it was a bit fatty and just OK. Ordered a second margarita but it never came... they didn't charge for it but still annoying. It was pretty busy in there but by the time we left it emptied out. They charge 4% fee if you use a credit card which I found a bit steep compared to other establishments. All in all, I'd try them again for just drinks and apps and maybe check out the bar area. The outside looks super nice to enjoy weather depending. They open at 10am and happy hour is 10am-5pm.
