Bison Bacon Burger
Jessica H.

Finally had the time to try this place! Came here on a weekday night for dinner and was sat right away. Our server, Abbie, was great! Very attentive, patient, and informative. Food was pretty good, although they gave us the wrong burger (We didn't complain because it was the other thing they thought about ordering). Loved the detail in the decor, down to the napkin holders and car memorabilia! Would love to come back to try more things on the menu.

I'm not really a car guy but what a great experience. Really glad I checked this place out. **Food 5/5** The burnt ends sandwich was incredible - so tender and juicy with amazing flavor. Everything was cooked perfectly and had that nice crispy texture on the outside. Also got the berries gorgonzola salad with shrimp which was really good and tasted fresh. No digestion issues. **Service 5/5** Our server was super friendly and gave us some really good suggestions on what to order. Didn't wait long at all for anything, they were pretty quick. **Ambiance 5/5** The whole place has this really cool car theme going on. I mean they went all out with it - even the bathrooms are done up with the theme which I thought was a nice touch. Everything's bright and has a fun vibe to it. **Cleanliness 5/5** Place was really clean, didn't see any issues anywhere. **Parking 5/5** There's a huge mall parking lot right there so finding a spot was easy. No problems at all. **Value 5/5** Prices were totally reasonable for how good the food was. The portions were perfect - I ate everything and felt satisfied but not like I overate or was still hungry. **Overall 5/5** a homerun all around. I don't get how this place has any bad reviews because everything was great. Definately coming back here next time I'm in the area.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

DELICIOUS! Normaly I dont like to have lunch at places where they serve burger and sandwiches! I am not a fan of either! But this place completely changed my mind! Everything we eat from appetizers, to drinks to mean meal WAS SPOT ON!! Ah the the service was also fantastic, it was like having friends welcoming us for a meal! The place is relaxed, great for family, friends or a date!

Food is alright. Creative vibe with the car parts but it's honestly a little extra. At the price point I'm not sure it's above a Chilis/Applebees

Simple and good! We originally came here on a Friday. Very frustrating they don't take reservations and we couldn't wait an hour so we came back on a Tuesday night. The attention to detail is fantastic. The napkin rings, the cars on the ceiling, the motors, just everything is five star. I ordered a Malibu bay breeze but they don't carry Malibu. The rum they gave me was pretty good, just not the same. My husband enjoyed his alcoholic root beer. He ordered a burger and I ordered chicken fingers and fries with pickles. My chicken fingers were actually pretty good. I wasn't expecting them to be the best but they did the job. For the amount of seasoning on my fries, it lacked taste. My husband said his burger was cooked perfectly. I fee like that's rare these days. The chocolate chip cookie lava cake was a first for his. Hot and delicious! Probably wouldn't go out of our way to go back again but I'm glad we tried it.

Estate burger and truffle fries
Jenny L.

This seemed like a cool place to dine until you wait for their slow service and salty food. I wanted to like this nostalgic restaurant given its creativity, history, and location. However, the execution pales in comparison to the cute concept with cars, rags for napkins, and garage doors for window views. As a fan of the Ford GT40 for symbolizing how American ingenuity can beat and sweep the European race cars, such as Ferrari, at the Le Mans, I wish this restaurant could emulate their level of excellence. The only things that I enjoyed were the tower of onion rings on a funnel, truffle fries, and sweet potato tater tots. Otherwise, I had issues with the following: - Large slice of fish and chips with only malt vinegar and without tartar sauce - Estate burger was seasoned with a layer of salt to the point that it was inedible, especially if anyone has high blood pressure - The meat in the overdrive melt seemed so dry that I could barely swallow each bite without gulfing down their guava fizz mocktail, full of ice. This luncheon could be worth ~$35 per person if we could eat and enjoy it. Service took forever to get seated given tables seemed mostly designed for four people, not a family of five adults with a toddler. Moreover, the food took forever to cook and serve given they seemed to allocate more staff as hostesses standing around with nothing to do to chat than the few waiters and servers. The staff was friendly and helpful to earn tips, but the back-end operations would benefit from some major improvement in efficiency.

The bar
Tim N.

This chain is one of the more solid options with great burgers and barbecue as well as friendly service, a bar with diverse beer and drink options, great quarterly specials, and interesting, creative decor complete with some classic Ford cars, mounted engines, tire sinks in the bathrooms, and garage cloth napkins with hose clamps. I recommend the smoked brisket burnt end melt, the overdrive melt, and the high ocburger.

Here for lunch
Renee B.

Here's the Scoop! Came here after Church for lunch. First off upon entering the decor is impressive. It has the garage feel. The wall decor, seating and table set-up is very creative with C-Clamps as napkin holders. The menu has many tasty looking pics and descriptions of their entree line up. This retro designed restaurant has a comfortable seating with full variety of and specialty drinks. Outdoor seating is large as well. Many large screen TVs throughout the restaurant. The food that we ordered (see pics) was simply delicious. I was very impressed and look forward to diving deeper into their menu on my next visit. So Yelpers if you're in the area of Smithhaven Mall and want to have a tasty meal with a twist on some of your favorites, come and give them a try. Plenty of seating for large groups. Fast , friendly service. Portions and price tag are reasonable.

Ford's Classic Wings
Debora F.

This was our second visit to the restaurant. The first time the food was excellent but the service wasn't the best. Despite that, we decided to return because we really enjoyed the food. On this visit, we were seated right away, but unfortunately, no one came to our table for nearly 30 minutes--not even for water--while other tables that arrived after us were already being served. It was frustrating, and we were just about to leave. We flagged down a staff member, and shortly after, the manager, Javier, came over. Javier was incredibly professional, apologetic, and genuinely understanding. He immediately brought us water, took our order, and had appetizers out within minutes. From that point on, the service turned around completely. His attentiveness truly made all the difference. To make up for the initial delay, we were kindly offered a complimentary appetizer and dessert, which was handled in a very professional and gracious manner. Once again, the food was a solid 10/10. The burgers were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection, and the cocktails were good. While the evening started off on a rough note, the way the situation was handled left a lasting impression. I will definitely be back and hopefully with a smoother start next time!

I was so impressed and pleased with my time here. I took a friend on a surprise date and it was so cool for the both of us as car enthusiasts. The servers were quick and attentive, the drinks were tasty and well made and the food was an absolute knock out! I've been twice and can't wait for the next!

American Standard Burger and fries
Stephanie G.

Came here with friends and everyone enjoyed their food. The Ford/auto theme was consistent throughout with decor and uniforms to match. Super cute. My husband and I each got burgers and really enjoyed them. Service was fast and friendly and the place was packed which was a good sign. The crispy chicken sandwich also looked great and I will give that a try next time! Its connected to the Smithaven Mall so when we left we walked straight into the mall which was nice.

Tried Public House on a friend's recommendation and can't believe I never visited before…read more Although it's your standard American style pub restaurant if you're a fan of French Dip sandwiches this is the place for you. There's a good selection of FD sandwiches along with the usual burger, sandwich and wraps along with a decent selection of appetizers. The sampler appetizer included your standard apps: potato skins, mozzarella sticks, wings & onion rings with sauces was slightly overpriced at $22.50 but still good and could pass as a meal itself. The best choice was the French Dip sandwiches all cooked to perfection and well portioned served with French Fries. Callout to our server Jessica was outstanding. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable with some excellent sandwich suggestions. Restaurant features a full bar area, dining area with table service and a section of the dining area that can be converted to a private room for special events. Overall a great little pub with attentive, friendly ostaff serving excellent French Dip sandwiches at reasonable prices.

I was looking for a sports bar that would play the Knicks game out East. I did a search on yelp and…read moreone of the results was this bar. When driving to it there was parking out front for their customers which was great. Walked inside and there's plenty of seating either at the bar or at their tables. I asked if they can play the knicks game and they changed two TV monitors. Which was very nice of them to do. Anyways, their menu was very extensive. It took me a bit to look through it. I decided to order the bone less wings, the French onion dip sandwich, and last but not least the cheesecake with raspberry sauce drizzled on top. The wings were delicious and it fiee me up even though it was just an appetizer.

Add in the adorable atmosphere and video games at every table- this spot is top tier! The daily deals are a must. Mondays are free shakes with a $10 purchase. Those shakes are $8+ usually so it's a great deal. Staff is super nice and helpful here. Counter service but they run the food to your table. One of my favorite local spots- highly recommend!

Great concept, terrible execution. The good: The theme…read moreseemed fun, the tables all were outfitted with tv's and game controllers, the disco floor light up while waiting to order. The menu offered a fun take on classics and even a few item that were unique. The bad: The food was awful. Incredibly over greasy, served up in a plastic container, and completely over priced. 3 orders of chicken tenders and a chicken sandwich should not be over $90. And if it is, it better live up to that kind of price tag. This did not. Also for added frustration, the games at the table were not setup properly for multi player gaming, even though there were 4 wired controllers each, non of the games seemed to work in 4 player mode. Overall as I said earlier: great idea, but they need to get their house in order, because they are on a path to going the way of the arcade... out of order.
