Enjoyed a great Sunday Brunch at The Tap Room in Farmingdale. I've been here before for some drinks…read moreand apps, but since we are holding my bridal shower here in June, we wanted to go for brunch to get a better feel for that menu. Our server Jacqueline was very sweet and attentive. We had ordered a cider flight. 3 out of 6 tasted like an IPA and we asked to swap it out. They were very accommodating and swapped it without question. Our guests' Bloody Marys were strong and spicy. We tried the short rib skillet, short rib sliders, American breakfast and breakfast burrito. The short ribs were soft and tender and the garlic Parmesan potatoes were AMAZING. (My mom actually went and spoke to the event manager to make sure we could have them at my shower.) The bacon was crispy and eggs cooked perfectly. Brunch prices were very reasonable considering the portions and quality. Overall, it was a great brunch experience and we can't wait to come back!

First off, I hold Tap Room to a very good standard as I have been to the Huntington and Bayshore locations and have had great experiences however I was not a fan of the Farmingdale location food wise. I went about three weeks ago and had a pretzel and a whiskey burger. The pretzel was delicious but the burger was tasteless. I thought that maybe its an off-day or something. I came back this past week and had the 20 for $20 wing special. My wings were dryer than the Sahara Desert. I chewed them and had to spit them out. I feel bad saying this but im still going to come back. The food is typically good, great deals on drinks, the staff are always friendly, but the food lately was not good. I will definitely be back for a third try.

The Main Event is a 10,000 square feet restaurant and sports bar. There are two bars, more than 80 HD TV's, outdoor patio, and private room. We had reserved a section by the bar area and it is very spacious. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. We ordered and shared classic buffalo wings, extreme nachos, mozzarella sticks, and breaded chicken fingers. It was good bar food and the portions were good. Staff were very friendly. We will definitely be back!

Beautifully decorated for the season, nice touch, all in all great... But just DON'T go to the bar afterwards to sit and chill and we all order another round of cocktails, after spending $800 bucks... after the drinks came, another bartender that did not serve us tells us that the section we were standing in, (had purses on chairs) was reserved... for the same time we got to the bar area, told well their "regulars"! So, we moved a few bar stools away, finished that drink and we're DONE! One bad bartender can ruin a night, and she sure did!

I came here to watch the final of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Miami vs. Indiana with a couple of my cousins. The Ambiance of the bar is pretty good, a very cozy sports bar. For our appetizer, we started sharing the chicken buffalo wings, and fried cheese curds. The Fried Cheese Curds were crunchy outside and warm, gooey, and slightly chewy inside, a field of cheeses, very delicious a great option to share across a big party. The wings were crunchy, and well season, and delicious. I also order famous burger, The Ale House Cheddar Cheese, Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion Topped with Island Dressing, my burger was cooked medium and the cut was pretty good the bacon was crispy, and my meat was super delicious and juicy, For my drinks, I had the beer no alcoholic Athletic Run Wild IPA all night surprise it taste similar to an IPA. The bartender did a good job.

My wife and I split the filet mignon sliders with sweet potato fries, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. One of my sons ordered the wings -- honey BBQ and sweet chili -- and both flavors were outstanding. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and we will definitely be going back.

I came here on a weekday for lunch and sat at the bar with a friend. The bartender was great--attentive but not overbearing. There was a solid selection of beers and a good variety on the food menu. I ordered the Juicy Lucy and clearly struggle with reading comprehension, because I completely missed the part where it said stuffed with cheese. I was definitely surprised when I bit into my burger and cheese spilled out the back--but I loved it. Great pub food all around.

My brother has always wanted to try this place, but we never had a chance to actually step foot inside the Library Cafe. As the name suggests, the restaurant sits at the site of the old town library, and the bar area has tall shelves and a rolling ladder to pay homage to the name. To maximize the restaurant week menu, three of us tried different appetizers. The ahi tuna taco was the best of the lot- crispy shell and nicely prepared tuna filling. The Thai calamari was a little too overcooked and the sweet sauce was cloying. I didn't get to try too much of the French onion soup because my dad almost inhaled it whole, but it was gooey and comforting. I had the honey-soy glazed salmon with broccolini. The salmon was a little dry, but the glaze and cashew went well with it. Maybe a touch of spice could have improved the dish. The broccolini was nicely textured and not too bitter. My mom's fish and chips were underwhelming, though the not-proper "chips" were well fried and seasoned. It was not served with vinegar either. My brother had the Buddha bowl which he enjoyed and felt was a good health conscious option. I did love that they allowed my dad -- who was not feeling too well-- to order just an entree while the rest of the table had the restaurant week menu. I know some restaurants require all members of the table to order off the prix fixe menu sometimes. He had the burger, which was cooked very precisely to medium-rare. We did have dessert though we were stuffed at this point. The sticky toffee pudding cake was lovely, moist, and so decadent without being overly heavy. I ordered the wild berry cheesecake, and while the clearly house made berry compote was a nice touch, it was just a little underwhelming next to the sticky toffee pudding. Overall, we had a good time at the Library Cafe, and though service was a little slow due to sudden rush of diners, it was a fun little weekday dinner. I did see signs for their happy hour, which I'd love to try-- especially their cocktails named after writers!

Recently had lunch at the Library Cafe when visiting Farmingdale and was amazed at the interior…read moreambiance. One cannot miss the large wall of liquor bottles behind the bar. Never went to a bar that needed a rolling ladder to access the top shelves. The high ceilings ( believe it was a renovated library ) even allowed for a small sailboat to be displayed above the main entrance foyer. Shout out to the staff. We were immediately welcomed by the bartender and informed we could sit anywhere rather than wait to be seated. Our server Annie was exceptional: welcoming, friendly and attentive with some appreciative suggestions from the menu. The menu, excluding the St Patrick's March Menu, was your typical American bar pub food fare: appetizers, sandwiches, burgers and limited entrees. Started off with the onions soup which was cheesy but light on onion slices but very good. Passed on the St Pats March Menu ( except for the Guinness beer ) and stuck with sandwich options. The sandwiches came with a side ( other sides available with an up charge). The sliced steak sandwich, roast beef French Dip sandwich and classic burger were all cooked to perfection and served with either a salad or waffle fries. The Library features an extensive cocktail menu with creative names of famous authors and even novels. In addition there is a separate open air event area ( above and overlooking the restaurant floor ) for private events or parties. Overall a great place to grab a drink and enjoy some good food that's reasonably priced. Definitely will be back when in the area again. One note Street parking is limited but there are municipal parking lots nearby.

We ordered the chips and guac as an app I ordered the moussaka enchiladas for dinner and it was so good. The béchamel was so creamy and I loved the meat and eggplant inside My friends got the lamb shank orzo and birria tacos. We all devoured our meals. We also loved the dessert. The churro nachos. The chips were cinnamon sugar and so crispy and covered in dulce de leche, strawberries, banana and a scoop of ice cream. The baklava cheesecake was also great. Our waitress was great, she didn't rush us. The restaurant was filled with tables of friends of all ages and it was so nice to see. They also have bar seating. All of the dishes had a little Greek, a little Mexican and I can't wait to come back and try them!

The whole idea of having a mix of Greek and Mexican cuisine is cool and wonderful. I don't want to stray you away from this place.
