On Wednesday, I called to confirm my Yelp reservation. Laura was unable to locate it and had to create a new one. I asked if she could be our server that Friday. After I got the confirmation text, I joined their loyalty program. My good friend Cynthia found a spot in the parking lot across from Burnett's Marina - Bait & Tackle. We had a lunch reservation at Eat At Ditch to celebrate our birthdays. I asked to sit at a shaded table on the back patio because I liked the beachy vibes. Once seated, I told Laura about my food allergies and restrictions. She offered great suggestions and provided excellent service. Drink Ancho Average Marg - The margarita had a strong, delicious flavor and was served in a pineapple with a Tajín rim. Food Yuca Poppers Wings (bbq sauce) - Mmm, finger-licking goodness! Me: Seared Tuna Taco (no cilantro) - I ordered the Seared Tuna for the first time, and it will be my last. I didn't like the texture. Jerk Shrimp Taco (no pico de gallo and cilantro) - The chipotle aioli on the jerk shrimp with spicy slaw was incredibly flavorful. It was my favorite taco, so I ordered another. Baja Fish Taco (no pico de gallo and cilantro) - The crispy fish with lime crema and red cabbage was delicious.

Love the beachy vibe here! This place is dog friendly with convenient parking nearby in a gravel lot (across from Burnett's Marina - Bait & Tackle). Came here with a good friend to celebrate our birthdays and we opted for the back patio. Our server, Laura, was fantastic and even brought a bowl of water for my dog. ORDERED: DRINK: Ancho Average Marg - this margarita was strong but delicious. It's served in a pineapple with a Tajín rim. APPETIZERS: Yuca Poppers - it was delicious. Wings (bbq sauce) - it was delicious. ENTRÉE: Beachfire Chicken Taco - this is more for the flavor. I love the spiciness of this taco. The chicken was a bit on the drier side. Carne Asada Taco - the flavor and texture were very solid. Seared Tuna Taco - I really like the texture of this taco. Jerk Shrimp Taco - it was very flavorful and the shrimp were perfectly cooked.

I've had this place bookmarked for a bit. Today I was in the area and had some time to kill. Figured I'd stop in for lunch! I opted to sit at the bar. Evan was the bartender and he was awesome. To drink I had "cool as a cucumber" which was delish and refreshing. It belongs at a pool bar! For my meal I went with the taco lunch special which included two tacos and choice of a few different salads or clam chowder. I decided on the jerk shrimp taco and the ahi tuna taco. I did this not realizing you can't mix-and-match for the lunch special, my error. Because I'm indecisive, I asked Eric to surprise me with either of them. To my surprise I was given both! Talk about pleasing the customer. Both tacos were really good! I loved the flavor that each one delivered. I also really liked that although it was corn tortillas, the tortillas were not doubled like corn tortillas typically are. The New England clam chowder was also great! Even though it was over 100° today, soup just felt right. Haha I would absolutely return! Food and service 5+ stars! read more

Food is fantastic but prices are outrageous. We'd love to go back but the pricing makes it tough for it to be a "regular" spot.

absolutely love this spot! Came here in the summer, and came again in the winter and vibes are always a 10 out of 10! Obviously the summer the vibes are amazing but in the winter it was just as fun! The food is delicious! And the drinks are great! I got watermelon mocktails , which are so delicious and refreshing. definitely make your way here! And you don't have to wait for the summer to get here, they are opening year-round for great food and good vibes! read more

Just ok - not a place I need to visit twice - the staff was friendly and attentive - everything just seemed disorganized - they had a margarita event going on in the back, so maybe that was the reason. The food was just ok - it's for sure a locals spot. read more

This is an update to my original review. Shaving 1 star off. Food: 2/5 - I had 5 tacos. They were not cooked well. They had too much sauce on them and were just sloppy on the plate. Service: 4/5 - No issues. Waitress was attentive and friendly. Ambiance: 5/5 - Nice sized and has a good feel to it. Bright and cheery. Cleanliness: 2/5 - No issues in dining area. Bathrooms could use some repair. When you leave bathrooms you can see into the kitchen which were not clean. Chefs were not wearing hats. Parking: 3/5 - The big bumpy dirt lot they had looks closed. Now their is a flat lot on the right side which is better to park in. Value: 3/5 - Taco Tuesdays is a good deal if the food comes out right. Overall: 3/5 - On this visit, the food was not as good as it was on my first visit. The quality notably slipped. I may not return. read more

My birthday treat from a friend brought us to Drift. I had made a reservation a few days prior. (On a side note, when I called, the man who picked up just said, "Hello." I had to ask if I had the right number and was calling Drift.) Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted. There was a band playing and it was quite crowded and for the next two hours, we proceeded to scream over each other to hear. Our waitress never said her name. Or maybe she did. Couldn't hear a thing. But what I do know is that the tables on either side of us were seated after us, had their drink and food orders taken before us, received their food and drinks before us, and were constantly communicated with throughout their meals. Not us. The waitress was frazzled and didn't really care about us. An extensive drink menu which made me want to order one of each, I settled on the Sunburnt Summer which as you can see wasn't exactly filled to the rim but it was tasty. The appetizer we chose was Esquites. Warm and bubbly and delicious with crispy-what-appeared-to-be homemade chips. I had the Korean Chicken Sammy. Just the right amount of heat. I would go back but not at night and would hope I don't get the same waitress. I'd like to give Drift a 3.5 because of the service but alas.... a four it is. read more

Food was amazing. Visited on a Sunday for brunch they provide happy hour options from 12-7pm. We ordered a bunch of appetizers. Mussels, a corn dip, it came with house made chips, yucca poppers, pork belly and steak tacos. Everything was delicious no complaints. My husband ordered a Paloma and I offered a Bellini. We sat at the bar service was great. Affordable prices. Nice atmosphere. Plan to visit more often. Hidden gem by the water. read more

We looked at the menu and tried to order fish on Ash Wednesday only to find out most everything that was fish base. Was not available because they were out of Cod. No substitute! That makes no sense for a restaurant on the water. We got up after we finally got the info from the waitress and left for Sea Levels which was excellent. read more

Outstanding! We really enjoyed the beach-themed atmosphere and the food was fantastic. We started with the street corn which was so good, and hubby had sirloin steak and I had the lobster grilled cheese as our main dish and both were incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire experience at this adorable place. This is quickly going to become a favorite! read more

Nice place with great atmosphere! I tried the tacos and they were pretty good and my friend enjoyed a lobster roll. We also had the yuca poppers as an app and they were super delicious. Wait staff was friendly and overall the place had a nice California beachy vibe. I'll say the menu was a bit limited imo but I would return. read more

Our first time at Ditch and we already cannot wait to go back! We came in on a Friday night and sat at the bar. There was a one man band playing acoustic music, he asked if we had any recommendations and played our song right away! He played soft rock and a ton of country. His voice was amazing and it definitely set the mood. The restaurant is pristine inside. Started with margs and apps. The margs were strong and delicious, you could tell they were made with fresh ingredients! The sesame duck wings were tender and delish. Not pictured were the yucca poppers, we devoured them before snapping a pic. Mouthwatering!! Can't wait to come back and indulge in dinner next time. Ended with espresso martinis. Our bartender was awesome. Quick with refills, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu! Not to mention he makes a mean margarita! This may just become our new happy hour spot! read more

I had lived in California for a decade and let me tell you...this place nailed it! Loved the ambiance, the staff was kind and the food was great. Tacos were done nicely. Everyone enjoyed themselves. It seems like a little out of the way but that adds to their charm. Go and catch them on Taco Tuesdays!! read more

Had a nice time at ditch. Medium sized restaurant so the crowds dont get to crazy and they have bar, indoor table and outside table seating. Theyve got a pretty extensive menu, salads tacos sandwiches poke and some other bowls. It might be a little too many options tbh but what I had was pretty good. We started off with the fried calamari and the fried yuca. Both were nice. Calamari was pretty standard and the fried yuca was a nice mix of salty and sweet. I had the watermelon salad and a carne asado taco as my entree. I liked the watermelon salad alot. It was refreshing. The taco was alright. They serve them cali style, super fresh on housemade corn tortillas, but on the smaller side. Here's the thing. In cali the tacos are like $2 or $3 bucks not $5 or $6 and all the tacos at our table were super cold. Everything came out at once some Im assuming they prepared them in the wrong order and some dishes ended up getting cold. Perhaps the brightest spot was the cocktails. Theyve got really good and pretty well priced (odd prices like $12.55 tho) drinks. We all really like them. read more

A really nice meal and experience at Ditch. A solid 4. Service was excellent, shout out to our server Taylor. A really nice drink and beer menu. Spicy Margarita is very good! For apps we had fried cauliflower with a Tai type sauce, was very nice and tasty served on a bed of field greens, we would order this again. We had a bowl of clam chowder which seemed house made and was quite good. We also had a Cesar Salad which was good enough to come back just for a Chicken Cesar power lunch. We also had the sushi quality seared tuna over couscous. Delicious and fresh! They have a nice bar and out door area. The main inside dining room is a bit on the small side but they have done well with utilizing available space without making the room crowded. The bar would be a great place to have a meal and watch a game. We recommend and will return. Next time Im going to try the yuca app, sounds delicious! Good luck to Ditch! read more

Recently tried Ditch and omg I've already been back two more times. Taco Tuesday is amazing the tacos are delicious, both times I went for lunch it was super quiet fantastic service. Also went back for a craft night, they're always holding events and my friend and I decided to check one out. Got the lobster roll which was good, but the yucca poppers are a MUST. Would definitely go back just for those and the tacos. Highly recommend. read more

we recently visited ditch in Bayshore! Ditch features a Mexican-like menu is the perfect spot for a quick bite! The interior has a coastal theme and is so cute! We recommend this place for happy hour taco Tuesday or for a dinner with friends!! They have a great happy hour menu and taco Tuesday specials with taco starting at $2! They also have great drinks options. We love their margaritas, frozen paloma, and rum punch! Additionally, their location is somewhat near the fire Island ferries, making this a great spot to hit before heading to fire Island!

The food was delicious. We had 2 of the Yuka poppas amazing. The mussels in curry sauce outstanding. Chicken and shrimp tacos and lobster roll. All for $88 with to rum punches that was just ok not the best I had but the service was good and the ambiance Luis nice inside and outside it was good read more

Came here on a gorgeous mid week day for lunch. Tip: If you check in, you get a free Yucca popper appetizer. This is a shareable size. It's basically a yucca mash, formed into a ball and lightly fried. It's served on a generous bed of mashed avocado and spicy mayo. It's a good combo. And amazing for free! I got the 2 taco and salad lunch special. The tacos are tiny.. the tortilla had maybe a 3"diameter... the fish taco had a single piece of fish on it, that was 1"×1", and mostly breading. The poco and sour cream were good. The tortilla is corn and homemade. It was good, just tiny. The pork belly taco had more meat.. about the size of a generous bao bun... good sauce... tasted like a bao bun, but in a tortilla instead... The salad, part of the combo, came also in a small bowl but packed. I opted for the spinach chick pea feta salad. There were 4 chickpeas, and it was drenched in oil... that overwhelmed the salad. The spicy margarita was good! Service was good. The ambiance was beachy and relaxed. Good music, good place to hang out. read more

We stopped in after a day at Robert Moses . We were surprised to see this was at the site of a prior restaurant Lalas which we also enjoyed some time ago. Interior was light bright and casual. It is off season so crowd was light but this will likely change with the weather. There were a few hiccups because of a bridal shower earlier in the day. They were out of red wine! It did make us wonder aren't there any nearby liquor stores to buy a few bottles to tide over your Sunday crowd? Aside from that we enjoyed a meal of a calamari appetizer and some tacos. The calamari was very fresh and more than enough for two to four people. We also tried four of the tacos (carnita, carne, fresh Baja fish and tuna.) All were $6 each. All had fresh ingredients and a variety of seasonings We will be back to take a deeper dive soon. read more

Service - good Place - nice lighting and cute decor, music choice was horrible, disco type and annoying Food- too salty and a bit cheap on the ingredients The beach kabobs were good, but too salty and they are cheaping out with the amount of shrimp. There were 2 on a stick and it would have been nice if there were 3 on a stick. Plus make the veggies chunky instead of slivers. Again cheaping out. The maverick burger was good. The drink- a margarita, was a hair weak, use a full shot, we can notice. Proper portions makes for good word of mouth and you'll have lines out the door. read more

Our server Maddie was very nice with a bubbly personality. Our first time dining at Ditch in hopes of enjoying crab cakes to discover it was not on menu. As an appetizer, we had the crispy calamari that came with a tiny side of Thai sauce. Delicious. The island rum punch was a little spicy but good. We decided to call it an evening without ordering entrees bc the music was loud which made it challenging to have a conversation. read more

Ditch - Island Rum Punch - Bars Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

Service is friendly and helpful, atmosphere light, bright and beachy. Menu is a nice mix of appetizers, salads, soups, tacos, entrees and sides. Our server was extremely helpful in making sure that what I ordered was gluten free and even took out her own phone to show me a graphic of the menu ingredients and allergens. My daughter and I shared the chips and guac - authentic tasting and nice, dense and crunchy chips, though a little pricey for the portion. She had a side of the Cheesy Mac for her meal. It was nicely sized and we took home half of it for later. I ordered the tacos and salad lunch special. The Summer Salad mix of arugula, watermelon, feta salad was tasty, though there was a bit too much dressing and it really didn't need much at all. The two tacos I chose were the Seared Tuna and the Grilled Fish which was hake. Both tacos were solid in terms of taste. My biggest issue was that these were so tiny and not substantive in terms of the ingredients. I expect $5/$6+ tacos to be larger sized and portioned. The idea of smaller tacos with intention of ordering many if doing à la carte works if they are priced appropriately. If the location was actually direct waterfront, it might be easier to justify the price of the teeny, tiny tacos! Didn't try any of the drinks, though they looked interesting and refreshing. The beachy Mexicali concept is great and spot-on for the area, though there are other places on the island that offer similar options and provide more value. read more

I really wanted to try this place because it's close to the water. However, the food, drinks, and service proved to be worth it too!

Actually terrible. We came here for dinner and from the very start it was bad. When we walked in the overwhelming sent of fabuloso was horrendous. We sat outside and did not get plates, napkins or silverware. We had to ask a girl who was setting the table next to us. Me and my friend ordered a painkiller and what we got was mostly jailhouse orange juice and a half of shot of rum lmaoooo. Next we ordered the cauliflower app. They were OK but they really needed a dipping sauce which they didn't come with. We then decided to call over the waitress and get the bill and leave. While we were waiting for the bill to come a girl came over to clean the glass doors and once again we were hit with a horrible overwhelming sent of glass cleaner. All in all it was just bad. read more

Checked this place out for lunch mid week with my wife. The Vibes were right. Music. The palm trees, sat on front patio. The service, the drinks, the Pimento Dip app, the tacos and salad lunch special. The pork belly tacos were great! Will be back to check out the bar during the weekend. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. I had the Flambe catch of the day, it was Fluke. I also had Tuna Tartare and a Crab cake. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The fish was very fresh. The restaurant is beautiful on the inside. The reasons I am not giving 5 stars is because the menu was so hard to read. The name of the dish is a 10 font and the ingredients are a 4 font. There was also a social media event going on and there was constant flashes blinding us. Once I complained it stopped. We will be going back for more. read more

Came for lunch during restaurant week- it was our first time. Gauc, corn dip, poke bowl and Tacos were good. From what I gather, they have $3 taco Tuesday.

Ditch - Tacos tray and Hang 10 Marg - Bars Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

We went on 7/3 at 6pm and had tickets for the margarita making class at 7. At the door I was told that class was about to be cancelled due to pending storms (in a rude manner) Ok, but a very last minute call, at that point I already had a baby sitter and we already had ubered there. I made a comment saying there was no warning made and how it was planned to start in an hour. We sat anyway and it was empty at this point, we put in drink orders and an app and then our meal order and we got our food before the drinks even came. Now as we are sitting at 6:20 I do get a text saying the class was cancelled, again very last minute. The margarita was very good but the service was so slow that I couldn't have even ordered another and never had food come out before the drinks. We also had chips and guac as an appetizer and basically all the chips were stale tasting. I love a good taco spot so this was very disappointing. Now it's 7/8 and I still haven't received a refund from the class which I spent $200 on. I have called twice with no return phone call and it is very unprofessional to have to keep calling to receive a refund when i understand it was a holiday weekend but it has been days now. On our way out a bunch of people were very annoyed because they didn't receive any cancellation notice about the class. I would not return to this restaurant for multiple issues. read more

Ditch catered our wedding and we couldn't have been happier with the food, the set up and the service! Tracy went above and beyond and even cooked on site so that all the food was served fresh. The servers helped maintain the flow of the evening, from passing around the appetizers, to bussing and prepping the whole night through. If you're looking for a fun (and delicious) alternative to traditional catering, consider having Ditch at your next event!! read more
