Bird & Bao in Patchogue is hands down one of my favorite places to eat! The food is always…read moreconsistently amazing & the owner & staff are genuinely some of the nicest people. Every time I walk in, I feel like I'm being taken care of & it keeps me coming back way more often than I'd like to admit (I'm officially addicted). The Nashville hot chicken bao bun is my go to every single time. Perfectly crispy, spicy, flavorful, & just unreal in that soft bao bun. And the crispy brussel sprouts... honestly, they're to die for. I could three whole orders by myself without blinking. If you're anywhere near Patchogue & haven't tried Bird & Bao yet, you're missing out! I recommend it to everyone!!

If you're in the village of Patchogue, then you have to try Bird and Baos. Looks can be deceiving…read morebecause I can't tell you how many times I drove past here and never gave them a shot. I made my journey to bird baos on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, and my stomach was craving some baos! I came across the man working the front, Tom. Tom was extremely friendly and the best part of our interaction was the fact that him and the owner worked together prior and came up with this masterpiece of an idea to open up shop In the heart of Patchogue. I started off with their popcorn chicken, so flavorful with a mega crunch! But you have to dip it in their house sauce! It's the cherry on top. The baos were moist and delicious especially when you dip them in their bao sauce. I got the 2 bao combo that came with 2 baos of your choice, fries and a soda. Their fries are probably the favorite, they're the perfect combination of peppery and salty! Both a plus! The first bao was their Nashville chicken. Sweet and savory chicken in their soft bao bun topped off with some pickles. Packed with flavor! Second i chose the sweet heat bao. Probably my favorite out of all of them haha! Even Tom told me I made a great decision haha! Sweet and savory chicken with their house garnish of carrot and cabbage! Oh myyyyy it was delightful, wish I ordered 3 of each! Wonderful experience, even greater ambiance. Come stop by after a long day or a day of drinking, which both you'll find the satisfaction at Bird and Bao.

We all enjoyed our food but my brother was disappointed they had removed some vegetarian options from the menu. He was looking forward to the tomales and they were no longer offered. I had the garlic salad ($16) and paid the extra for the shrimp. $13 extra. That's fine, but you should get more than 3 shrimp honestly and it wasn't overall the biggest salad (and I don't often complain about stuff like that). The salad did taste delicious. My hubby got lettuce wrap tacos and enjoyed them, our daughter got regular tacos and thought they were good. My brother and his wife enjoyed their veggie burgers. Overall a nice time. I'd love the try the outdoor seating up on the roof.

Cheery place on a gloomy day!

OK. Back again as I said, I am very fond of this establishment. Tonight I thought I would try…read moresomething different so I had the pasta Fagiole . As an 100% Italian, whose grandparents were born in Italy, I am pretty critical on this dish. I will say this; all restaurants these days portray this as a soup. It really isn't. It's more of a thick stew. However, I'm trying to get used to this concept. Locale does the new version of this as good as you could possibly do it. The flavor is actually authentic to the way my grandmother used to make it. It's just thinner. I'm sure a lot of you have never had this any other way, so it won't be a big deal. That being said I 100% recommend it. As referenced in my early review, I had Nonna's meatball as well. This is a 100% authentic delicious Italian meatball. My opinion is unfettered. This is a fantastic Italian restaurant and you guys should all check it out.

Service - 3/5 - fine and on par. Ambiance - 3/5 - nice outside but nothing crazy. Overall - 3/5 - good spot for food. Ordered the guac and Shrimp Tacos and they both were good. The tacos were pretty killer, would come back for those alone. Service was fine, nothing to note. Outside of the restaurant is nice, bright colors and nice but inside is whatever. Good spot for food, hit the spot, would return. Best Dish - Camarones Tacos Would Return - Definitely

Enchilada Mole - it's a bit salty for me.

Off…read morethe get go, customer service was great and offered a coat check free of charge for my jacket and umbrella since it was raining, definitely helped make it feel just a touch more upscale than your usual restaurant. Our wait staff was nothing but kind and patient with our moderately large party and checked up on us without being overbearing. Ambiance is very cool, and definitely leans into its classic and nostalgic feel of its name, but not in a campy way. If you bring a date here, they would be impressed by the nice tile and wooden features alone, but it's the food that is really going to blow them away, but we will get to that next. The menu and cocktails do rotate seasonally a bit, so your experience may vary on availability for some items, but if you come back often enough (and spoiler, you will want to), you'll see them comeback! We started with Caesar salad, calamari, and Korean fried wings with the easy standout being the fried wings, a bit spicy but delicious but buyer beware they are messy (don't worry though, they give you moist towelettes to clean yourself off), calamari was cooked exactly how it needed to be and not rubbery, and the Caesar salad was as good as I've had it anywhere (although there's was made with tahini, giving it a little sesame flair). For mains, we had a pesto pasta, steak frites with an au poivre sauce, with sides of jersey asparagus and mashed potatoes. Steak was cooked just right and I'd dip almost anything in that sauce, and the pesto pasta was a nice lighter and herby balance to the meal. Fries were perfectly crisp shoestring style and the other end of the potato spectrum was the delightfully smooth mashed potatoes and gravy. Asparagus has always been my favorite green, and adding a cream sauce with bacon only makes this version of it that much more enticing. Capping off with dessert, we had the chocolate Basque cheesecake, a brown sugar pie, and a pistachio cake. Choosing a favorite out of these is like choosing a favorite child I'm sure, but I am still craving more of that cheesecake, RUN do not walk to get that at the very least. Parking can be crazy in patchogue, there is a small attached lot and some street parking, but I'd advise using one of the municipal lots nearby and walking a little bit for your own sanity. One of my favorite dining experiences in patchogue to date, and will be happy to comeback here to try more of the menu for any occasion!

I've come here a couple times, mostly for happy hour since they have great specials on drinks and food during that time (a Sunday happy hour?? sign me up)! There's a rotating list of cocktails as well as the staples. Last time I got a potato chip martini of sorts, because why not, and it was actually super tasty! Brunch is also a good time to come with a limited menu so you're not overwhelmed with a little of everything on it. I tried the salmon caesear salad which was light with a nice dressing. We also tried the pancakes which were fluffy and delicious, as well as the steak and eggs (can't go wrong). Bottomless mimosas are also offered for $25 additional. I can't wait to do lunch/dinner here in the future.
