What is there to say about one of the few remaining successful neighborhood pub/restaurants in Suffolk Co? Cavanaugh's is a Blue Point tradition. A gem in the community. Try the delicious burgers and the best wings I have ever had on Long Island. Crispy/tender and just the right size. 20 oz Porterhouse for under $30? Nice sandwiches too and standard pub fare like Shepherd's Pie and Meatloaf! Daily specials too. Don't expect linen napkins and foo-foo white gloved service: they have casual dining with small tables and it can get crowded/loud. It's perfect during the week and for the burger lunch special where you can join the colorful locals who adorn the bar. I wish that I could give it 6 stars since we've eaten here for years and never had a bad meal or experience. read more

First time visiting this local Irish pub. Immediately on entering, I knew the ambiance was something special. Every inch of the walls are covered in history, developing over years of service and customer loyalty. Service was great with a kind and attentive staff. The food was very good! I enjoyed the mini tacos appetizer. My entree, while more of a roast beef sandwich than a proper Philly Cheesesteak, was quite tasty. The big standout, however, was the incredible Bailey's Cheesecake for dessert. Super tasty, highly recommend! read more

We love our Cavanaugh's! This place still hits. We went with the fam on a busy Sunday because it's 2 for 1 wings during football season. We ask for them to be extra crispy and they hit like they do every time. We also get them mild because the sauce is also that good. It doesn't need the heat. My moon burger was a work of art and after all those wing, I had to take most home. It's ok because my burger made for a great dinner. It's a real local spot with a bunch regulars there. It's a place where everyone knows your name and I hope it stays for many years to come. read more

Decided to try this tiny little pub after a recommendation. It's exactly as everyone states it is. It's a small hometown pub with years of memories in frames on the walls, 5 tables and a bar. Very "Cheers" like. We were told we can sit anywhere upon entering and a waitress came to our table within seconds asking for our drink order. Very attentive. Food came out quick and hot. Burger was ok, could have used some seasonings... but the sear was great and cooked just as asked. read more

Service is . I love the place but the food is drowning. A filet needs a gentle sear. Not a charcoal crust. Filet was dry and tasteless. Sides were cold. Shrimp was over cooked. Like i said. I love the place and I'm a local but the food is ehh. Please improve. read more

Great local pub with incredible food and drinks and cold beer! You literally feel like you're in Ireland . We will soon become regular patrons. Nice people too! read more

This place is a staple in Bayport/Bluepoint. I have been coming here since my college days when I dating my wife and still here now with a family of 4. The owner Chris is one of the nicest guys I have meet. On certain nights he's here to Brett his customers and always remembers my name even if I haven't been here is a couple of months. The food is except and reasonably priced. I love coming here for their porterhouse specials and to catch the games. The service is great and the place has an old school Irish bar feel. They have great drink and food specials daily. This is one of my go to places for a great night out with the family and it's better than going to a chain restaurant. read more

I've passed Cavanaugh's for years but never went in until today. Bar's are not typically places I frequent but I would absolutely come back to this one. I visited around 1:30 on a Friday and there was a good amount of people both at the bar and seated at the tables but the vibe was relaxed and comfortable. There were about 10 tables in the back and about 5 in the front by the bar. The bar had about 10 seats and was a full service bar. The Friday lunch special "a Burger & Bud" was what I ordered. It was a burger on a bun served with raw onion, a pickle and French fries with either a pint of Bud or a pint of soda. The burger was juicy and cooked exactly as I ordered. The server was nice and everything came out quickly. They have specials for everyday of the week. The patrons are a mix of young, middle aged, and older so it's a place for everyone. read more

Went for lunch with another couple. Everything wr ordered had to be sent back for redo...either cold or just inedible...pastrami sandwich was not pleasing to the eye or the palette. Best thing I had was the pint of Guinness! Would not return read more

Great small pub restaurant. I have been several times I keep going back!! Food is great tasting and amazing value. They don't try to be something they are not which makes them perfect. Their specials are fab. Staff are always smiling and on point. Guinness is great. Steak dinner is the best. read more

The atmosphere is great for a local pub. The food was good and seemed fresh. The three stars are because the bartender was rude. I'm sure he's been there awhile so maybe he just felt like embarrassing me would make him look important. When I asked for a particular condiment he said he would see if the kitchen could make it. I was surprised because it was something I would suspect came from a bottle not freshly made. So I replied "no I don't want them to have to go through the extra work to prepare it". The food was good enough on its own. He answered by loudly asking me "how do you think things are made and where do they come from?" I quietly ate my food and left. As long as he's behind the bar I won't be back and as I said I'm pretty sure he's been there awhile so, you win. read more

Service was fantastic! The food, ok. My friend and I ordered the exact same dinner and the results could not have been more different. My turkey BLT had inedible, dried burned bacon on it and if they put two slices of turkey on, its an exaggeration. To their credit, the waitress immediately brought over a plate of much better bacon which I replaced. But why did this have to happen? When I'm thinking about the person preparing my plate, I'm wondering if they would be willing to eat the thing they served me. My friend complained that there was too much turkey (not real turkey btw) and her bacon was abundant and cooked perfectly. I mean, really? Several weeks ago the service was just downright ODD. Our server was Caity B and we were thankful she wasn't there last night. I tried to ask for a fried egg on my BLT and you would have thought I asked her the most insane question in the world, rather than try to accommodate a simple request. There was more intangibly confusing behavior that made dinner just weird. We've really enjoyed dining here as we live locally and it's usually consistently good. I didn't feel that way the last two times. I hope it's just a fluke. read more

Cavanaugh's - Overcooked, inedible, crumbly bacon? - Pubs Near Me - Blue Point, New York

Great food, great prices and even better people. My absolute favorite pub in the area or maybe of all time. It's that good - the sports memorabilia on the walls and CEILING is a sight to behold. Sneaky kid-friendly too - their servers are super attentive to anything my little rugrats need (Chicken tenders before entrees, apple juice, etc.). I pride myself in being a regular. read more

Great local pub. Bartenders are great, servers are usually nice local kids. The food choices are what you would expect at an Irish pub, but the wings are stand out (order dry rub and get the sauces on the side). They have great daily specials and the food feels homemade, just good comfort food. I often order steaks there, they are very reasonable. I look forward to going and always have an enjoyable time. read more

Food was the best!!! Service was the best service that we have had in at least a year. We dine out at least 3 times a week. This is our first time at Cavanaugh's and everyone was so friendly I felt like we had been going here for years! Love everything about it and we will definitely be back. read more

I love this place, everyone is so friendly, it's alway Crowded and I realize why the food is delicious!!!!

Fabulous food. Local and friendly pub. You're always made to feel welcome and important. Casual and fun.

The best steak and at a reasonable price. The Onion soup is the best I have ever had. This place is an absolute charm. The staff and the owner care for their patrons. We dine there frequently, great restaurant. read more

We went in for dinner on a Tuesday night and really enjoyed it. We brought our 2.5 year old so we were a little nervous when we walked in and smelled cigarette smoke. It was probably just coming from some of the guests bc I doubt they allow smoking. They took us to the back dining area and it was perfect. The staff was SUPER friendly. The owner stopped by to check in on us halfway through the meal which I always think is nice. We enjoyed the food- they give perfect portion sizes and reasonable prices. My husband had a massive steak which was the special for only about $20, he said it was delicious. We will definitely return. :) read more

Cavs has been a lesser frequented spot for but definitely a place I've been going literally since before I could remember. See, I was born premature, I needed round the clock attention much like now and I had an au-pare (fancy word for a live in nanny) anyway, he worked at the time for the nearby Claire Rose, naturally he had and still has an infinity for Cavanaughs and why not?? I've seen pics of me as a young tyke with a bud light can and a green Cavs sign in the background more than once, so you could sorta say I was raised a bit here. I went today and realized that after every storm, I've gone to none other than Cavanaughs. What a great place to seek shelter though. Warm, inviting, and open! A dark, Irish, hometown feelin', sports pub with good grub. When I go here I stick to the basics, and the basics for me are their wings, and burgers. So the wings come out crispy every time, sitting in a bit of buffalo flavored oil nothing too spicy. The burger is cooked how you order it and is more than sufficient for the price, I dig the bun and the broil I the burger, I just don't believe lettuce and tomato should be an additional fee, however they do include onion and fries! Get the waffle fries (spicy or not, same difference) The French onion soup is good but it's always been too sweet... A darkened sugared broth that needs more onion, and maybe even more bread, but I still order it from time to time. Service is good and they show every football game on Sunday. Sunday is two for one wings and they have daily specials to follow suit. Check them out when yer in the mood for that good, local, hole-in-the-wall, hometown favorite. read more

Absolutely BEST fare here alongside the main rd. Cold beer on tap, delightful hard ciders. Hamburgers are cooked to temperature even though it takes a period of time. Order salads, appetizers and beers to pass the time. Food served piping hot, soups are delightful to the Irish palate. A must try en route to Long island east end. Or venturing back to nyc. Smoke parking, I'll be back. read more

Love Cav's.... It's an institution in the Blue Point community. The bartenders and servers are all very friendly, the owner Mr. Cavanaugh is very warm welcoming and attentive. The crowd is a mix of families and local bar patrons. A common place for the fire department volunteers to blow off some steam. They have tons of tvs for sports and OTB as well. I had the bacon cheeseburger Cavanaugh's platter and it was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The onion rings are really good as well. They always have specials for beer and wine and each night of the week has different specials and deals. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. read more

Hometown Favorite! Great Bar Food. Its just GOOD! No need for 85 characters to say that!!

First time stopping in based on a friend's recommendation. Place was hopping for a Tues night. Was told we might have 1/2 hr wait but a table opened up in the bar area and they seated us right away. We had the wings and Bavarian pretzel for an appetizer with a few drinks and ordered the steak specials. Food was quite good and price was very reasonable. Owner stopped by the table to see how everything was and was genuinely a nice guy. Hometown vibe. Would definitely go back. read more

Hometown feel. Good place for burgers and sandwiches! Friendly service and food consistently good!

Great food with great service one of a kind family place. Local as local can get.... Beer and burger

I've been going there for at least 30 years. Food and drink are always good. The staff is always great. Prices are good. A more traditional Irish style pub. Supports the local school teams and community. read more

Cav's is one of my favorite places to go when I'm in a mood for a nice, juicy burger. They're always cooked to perfection and dripping with delectable juices that soak just a little into the bun. I think I get the coleslaw as a side usually, but by the time I'm done eating the other half of the burger I said I "wouldn't eat" in the beginning, I'm too full to mess around with sides. I've come here for prime rib night also, which I think is on Wednesday's? Thursday's? One of the two. They serve up prime rib for $14.99 and it's sooo good! Definitely worth a try! They're chicken wings are also pretty damn delicious, and on Sunday's they're 25 or 50 cents a wing. When you walk in, it's a small looking place but they do have additional seating in the back, and the bar seems to always be packed with regluars. The only thing that I don't like about this place is the beer selection. I admit I'm a beer snob so I enjoy craft beers. They have the run of the mill domestic selection, and Bass on tap. I usually go with a black and tan when I'm here and call it a day. read more

Cavanaugh's - Bacon Cheddar Burger - Pubs Near Me - Blue Point, New York

Cavanaugh's is a rarity in today's world of souless corporate restaurants ... it is a local neighborhood pub and restaurant. The type of place you bring your kid after the big playoff game, music recital or on their birthday. It's the type of place you run into your friends and neighbors. A place where everyone is laughing and smiling and forgetting about the outside world for a while over good food and good conversation. If I were shooting a movie or sitcom about a hometown restaurant/pub, this is the location I'd pick. The atmosphere here is great ... it's broken in and comfortable but it feels clean and maintained. On the walls are sports jersies from the local teams and local photos and newspaper clippings. The front room has a long bar and some tables and the rear room is a bigger dining room with several tables. I believe they serve dinner or lunch making the bar the perfect place to come after a round of golf in the afternoon or to watch the playoff game at night. The dining room would be a great place for a family to eat ... while it has that great warm 'buzz' at dinner, it is not too loud to enjoy your meal and conversation at the table. The food here is great and the portions big. Everything is good quality and you can tell by tasting the food that no corners have been cut in its prep. It is pub type food but they make a damn good steak and have a little something for everyone on the extensive menu. My favorite would be the 'Irish Nachos', which are seasoned waffle fries loaded with cheese and served with sour cream and salsa on the side. Next up will be the Shepherd's Pie. A friend of mine had the T-Bone steak and it looked as thick as some of the NYC steakhouses I've been to! I've also been told that the French Onion soup is 'the best ever' by more than one person who has had it. The family that owns the restaurant are well known in town and the owner, Chris always makes the time to stop by and see how everyone's meal was. The waitstaff seem to have been working here for quite some time, which is a rare thing in the restaurant business these days and their knowledge of the menu and happiness to be working there are apparent in the way they interact with customers. Our waitress was great ... always smiling but making an occasional fun joke and cracking everyone up. If you are looking for great food in a fun environment, look no further than Cavanaugh's. This seems like an easy place to become a regular at. While lots of new restaurants pop up and then pop out in small towns and lots of corporate chains are opening all over Long Island, Cavanagh's has been in business for a long time for a reason. This is the real deal when it comes to a true neighborhood joint.Thanks for a great meal! read more

This is a local favorite. It's always crowded, especially the bar. Lots of regulars who come for the beer and to meet neighborhood friends. I'm giving it 3 stars for the food. It's fine for ordering hamburgers, fries, and old Irish favorites like beef stew. Other than that the food is just mediocre. On a recent visit, and we've been here 6 or 7 times in the last 10 years, we were disappointed in the meal. The chili was a thick clump of fried chopped beef with a very small amount of beans and almost no liquid. My corned-beef reuben wasn't much better with a fatty cut of meat and bread that was too-greasy. Potato salad was good but the cole slaw was swimming in mayonnaise. My husband had the chili also, which he could not eat. His fish and chips were fine, with a generous portion of fish. So, in summary, it's a neighborhood bar with friendly locals who love the place, and just mediocre food. If you like beer, hamburgers and fries, then give it an extra star! As far as I'm concerned, I'll wait another year or two before I give it another try! read more

My husband and I went to Cavanaugh's for the first time on a Wednesday at 7:45 pm. We were immediately greeted. We sat at the bar before being sat in the back of the restaurant. They had my favorite bee, pumpkin on tap and it was part of the happy hour special. We had heard Cavanaugh's has the best burgers. So everyone had burgers. They were think and cooked to perfect. We each ordered different fries, regular, sweet potato and waffle we couldn't decide which one we enjoyed more. Our waiter was funny and attentive. We look forward to going back. read more
