For me, this place is a study of contrasts. I have found their dinner selections to be expensive and run of the mill. The skirt steak was not worth the price of admission. On the other hand, I've become a big fan of their breakfast. Their pancakes are creative and dead on. Also, milkshakes are available during breakfast! Score!! I've also had their French toast which is mega yummy and their omelettes are good as well. The decor is bright, airy and fun. The place is quite kid friendly for breakfast. At night, I've found it to be a bit more of a bar crowd. Staff has always been friendly. Definitely check them out for breakfast. read more

It's truly unlike me to visit the same place twice in a short time frame. However, a separate group of friends wanted to go to dinner at JT's. I figured this was okay since I only ever had breakfast here - which I shared my review already. This review will be on the dinner experience. We were a party of 4 on a Sunday evening. The place wasn't too packed so we were seated immediately. Ordered a few drinks - and by gosh the moscow mules were GOOD. Perfectly the way I love them. Thumbs up! I ordered the chicken pot pie and was left a bit surprised and unsatisfied. When you hear chicken pot pie, you think of its classic recipe, dough cooked in a pan with all the vegetables and chicken cooked in a thick creamy sauce covered by the pie's doughy top. JT's version is not that. It comes in an iron skillet, with a very flavorless biscuit on top. Mine in particular was a bit burnt on the top and bottom. The chicken and vegetables were in a broth type substance which did not satisfy the cold-weather-pot-pie expectations I had in mind. The others at my table seemed to enjoy their meals. I would not recommend the chicken pot pie but would say the other items on the menu are probably a safer choice. Overall, the dinner experience is fine. I'm still a little upset about my soupy bland pot pie. Let me know if you have any recommendations for a good homemade pot pie! read more

Awesome food, great atmosphere, perfect setup. A little small inside but if I owed a bar that served breakfast I'd want it to be just like this place read more

This place is really great! It's a little hidden spot but one of my favorite restaurants. The cafe burger is literally one of the best burgers i have ever had. I usually eat the entire thing and it's huge! Their Acie bowl is also great, and very large. The atmosphere is really chill and sometimes they have a guy playing guitar. The waitresses are super nice and it just has an all around good vibe. read more

There's lots of restaurant competition in this area. Patchogue Village is not far away, but we decided to give this place a try. The unsweetened iced tea, is, well, unsweetened iced tea. Not worth $3.00, but it's supposedly "unlimited". Was never brought a refill. For the price, it would be nice if the brew had something special to it, such as what is offered at Local Burger Co. in Patchogue. The Manhattan Clam Chowder was rather good, I'd recommend not changing a thing, but maybe lower the price by a buck or two. The mussels were good overall, and the calamari was pretty terrible. I have never seen fried calamari rings so thin in my lifetime. Practically paper thin, and virtually nothing to chew on, unless you ate the head portions. Would never recommend ordering that dish, and management should consider re-evaluating the way this dish is served. All other foods were just average. The waiter was nice, attentive overall, minus the refills. And, apparently, not all sodas are included with "unlimited refill", thumbs down to that. Overall, I'd have to give a thumbs down because as this may be a halfway decent place to go, its certainly not the best by any means, and actually, it's not that cheap, so anyone claiming that it's "cheap" is not providing accurate information. Not worth returning when there are many other local places that are giving better quality food for less money and also have entertainment. read more

My first time coming here for breakfast today. It was amazing. We originally were going to go down to Toast Coffehouse but the wait is always crazy (and the parking) we sat at he bar for quicker seating. Bartender was super nice. THe food came in timely matter and it was awesome ! Super hot and exactly how the menu described. Can't wait to drop in for lunch or dinner!! read more

Delicious Food! Excellent service, very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Every dish that comes out of the Kitchen looks amazing! Can't wait to come back and try another one! Usually go for Breakfast but we have been there dinner to and the menu has an excellent choices and specials to pick from. read more

This place is just great. I've been here 3 or 4 times and always enjoy it. The food is delicious, especially the specials! The milkshakes are such a nice treat to find. On Mondays they have trivia, which is fun for something different. Staff is usually pretty friendly, and the food is really out of this world! read more

I've been to this pub/restaurant several times over the years when it was Sage. I love it as JT's. Whether you want a refreshing drink and listen to live music or have a sit down meal this is the place to go. I can't speak enough about how amazing the food is. I've never eaten breakfast here but based on their lunch and dinner I assume I would be very pleased. I ordered ceaser salad with steak and by far this has to be one of my top favorite places to now get steak(above some steak houses) it literally melts in your mouth. Family ordered other items like the hush puppies in jalapeño sauce and goat cheese, crab cakes, fried green tomato salad and chicken pot pie and they could not rave enough about the quality of the food. It can be a bit on the pricy side with food and drinks but worth it for a night out. Highly recommend :) read more

Best chicken noodle soup I've had since my grandmothers! Was a little sick so i ordered 2 pints of it and had it for lunch and dinner! Also great service and really good everything else! JT cooks with love!!! Order the duke at the bar..Tito's muddled fruit and club soda. read more

Best brunch I've had since Flo's closed the doors. Our server Holly is a rock star and always makes our visit just a little more special. All of the specials I've had are great, the Man-mosa ™ is my new go to for my AM drink. Can't wait to return and have another go. Maybe next time my wife and I will come later for a lunch or dinner. read more

Another yelp find, and definitely a solid five stars, we went there for a Sunday brunch to meet someone, we were seated immediately, the drink order was taken, and then they gave us time to sit and talk , they did not try to rush us out even though it was a little on the busy side, we had waffles which were wonderful, and omelettes also fantastic, but the avocado crabcake Benedict was to die for, I have had a lot of crabcakes, but never infused with avocado, usually it's just on top, these were awesome, definitely worth going back just for that read more

Had the skirt steak and it was grrrrrreat (to paraphrase Tony the Tiger). It's not fancy by any means so it's casual dining and there appears to be a good selection of tap beers. A nice place to eat and conveniently located at end of Nicholas road (97) and the montauk highway in bay port/bluepoint. read more

Wondered into this place after failing to get a seat elsewhere on a Saturday night without a reservation. I saw it had a good rating but did read any of the reviews so had little expectation. Much of the staff is young and not very polished, but over look that and this place will wow you. Ordered a couple of drinks from the specialty menu; blackberry bourbon ice tea and a blueberry vodka lemonade both very good especially since they're served in pint glasses! Ordered meatloaf and pot roast, meatloaf came out with a chicken pot pie ( oops wrong dish) we started with the meatloaf wow was this dish good including the mash and Brussel sprouts. After 5 minutes or so pot roast finally came out it didn't disappoint. To make up for the dish mixup waitress did bring over a round of drinks to make up for it, a nice touch. In the end TJs is a bar with live music that's not too loud and a menu worthy of a high end restaurant. read more

Off the hook good!! I can't stay away every time I go I am blow away by the food. The staff is great the place is clean. It's small and the food comes out a little slow but that's because it is all cook to order. A hidden treasure! read more

JT's food has ALWAYS been a favorite with my family. Even my mother, who was rather a connaisseur of crab cakes, said JT's on the Bay was the best!! Service is always friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is delightful! But the thing about JT I want to highlight right now is his generosity! In a time when Restaurants are not getting their business as usual, Justin has been sending trays of food over to our hospital with messages like "Thank you!" And "We love nurses" So I just want to say Thanks JT!! read more

Great food, beer selection, staff and atmosphere. I prefer their lunch menu because that was my best experience but they have an equally well balanced delicious dinner menu and often have live music. It's hard to drive by and not consider stopping in. read more

Food poisoning. Long story short, great atmosphere, great staff (although they're a young and a little unattentive), good beers. Stay away from the bar food. Had a hot-dog, lobster mac & cheese, & fried pickles, had food poisoning a few hours later to the next following day. Chef/Owner refused to believe, said stuff was all cooked not under-cooked ETC. But sadly, food doesn't have to just be under-cooked to give food poisoning, it could be old or have been contaminated after being cooked. I would go for the atmosphere and the Sail Away nitro coffee on tap again, not for the food. Food is also overpriced for what you get anyways, NYC prices with pauper portions and low-quality. Probably wouldn't have posted this if the chef took it more seriously, But this is more of a warning to other patrons since I doubt they will check more into it. read more

Tried giving this place another go. Food was good that's the only positive thing I can say . Staff was unprofessional cellphones and gossip was more important than customers felt as if I was eating in a high school cafeteria. The girl up front does not know how to wear a mask properly and was rude when asked her to put it correctly over her nose politely. Never heard of an establishment that has no management in the building or any idea when he will return her exact words. It was disturbing to see other employees remove their mask to have a drink then sneeze directly into their hand while mask still around their chin and with that SAME HAND make drinks behind the bar . So many CDC guidelines were broken at this restaurant Best of luck JT but we won't be coming back read more

I am one of those people who really doesn't like breakfast. So finding a awesome brunch place is sometimes difficult. I was thrilled to stumble upon JT'S cafe. We enjoyed a fabulous brunch- with the perfect Bloody Mary! My brunch choice was eggs Benedict over crab cakes with avocado and asparagus, delicious! My friend enjoyed waffles with a perfectly cooked fried chicken cutlet. Waitress was excellent too. read more

Not sure what the rave reviews are for. Maybe its just a political race to have all your friends soeak about the food. 5 stars for price point but averaged with the 2 star food that gives you a 3.5. Add a mediocre service and your now a 3. Please work on it as you have a great location, reputation and my review will probably mean nothing to you but this is America and it is only My opinion. read more

Came here to celebrate my bday/engagement with my parents and future hubby. I ordered the chicken pot pie..which was absolutely terrible. No creaminess to it whatsoever..extremely bland and topped with a crappy pastry. Prob the worst I have ever had. Was so disappointed because I really wanted a good cpp! Fiance ordered the skirt steak and mac n cheese which he liked. Parents ordered some apps which were okay, at best. Here's the zinger. My dad apparently told the waitress it was my birthday and me and my fiance were just enagaged - so they brought out 2 tiny slivers of key lime pie (yuck..but apparently all they had) and sang happy bday and congratulated us. Then they charged us $8 per sliver of that crappy pie! I'm sorry but those slices were sooooo laughably small and usually when you get a bday dessert or something somewhere..there's no charge. That honestly was a "really?" moment. I will prob give this place another shot because I really want to like it and service was good. But it was nothing special...at all. read more

I guess you could say the food was ok, no complaints from our group. I did find the two girls working at the door to be rude and sarcastic. Liked it better as the Sage Cafe. read more

I was here yesterday and everything I ordered was so good I returned today.

Although the dining area is small, I was favorably impressed by the fact that I felt like I was dining in a restaurant, and not in a bar. The wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful, they made us feel right at home. The food was just OK. I ordered the crab cakes They were as good as any I've tasted outside of Baltimore, however, the portion was a little bit on the small side. I also ordered the Prime Rib, which on the menu said it was encrusted with Horseradish. The meat was flavorless and overcooked. We asked for it medium rare, and it was medium at best. I was disappointed. The entree did not live up to it's menu description. And, the price of the entree was $29.00. It did not come with a soup or a salad. I find this price outrageous. I will not be ordering it again. My daughter had the Chicken Pot Pie, and loved it. So, some of the food was good and some, not so good. Will we go back? Probably. But I think next time we will sit at the bar and drink instead. read more

Just had breakfast at JT's Cafe. Everyone knows how critical I can be, never mind scorn that Greg and I didn't get the chance to open our breakfast/brunch cafe 2 years ago. Oh, and that I wanted Frank to be our head chef. So- without further ado- my review of JT's Cafe breakfast. Let me start by saying that we had all intentions of going to Toast in Patchogue, which, along with Flo's have been my wife's and my favorites by far. Unfortunately, there was a 40 min wait and we were starving, so we decided to skip Flo's and try JT's. Packed house, but got us sat right away with room for a high chair. After about 10min, Justin L noticed we had not seen a server yet, and apologized and took our drink order. The server was more than apologetic and it really wasn't a big deal because we noticed how busy everyone was. The Bloody Mary was on point. Absolut Peppar is the standard and it always helps when there is fresh shrimp included in the garnish. Toast tried to do shrimp too, had it last week, but you could tell it was frozen for a while and flavorless. Not JT's. Fresh and delicious! Strawberry Bellini hit the spot for my wife. Fresh strawberry purée was done right and they didn't skimp on the size. Now for the food. Holy shit, the BEST breakfast we have had, EVER! We seriously kept discussing every breakfast spot we had ever stopped at from Montauk, Patchogue, NOFO, Up Island, NYC, to Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, San Diego, Santa Cruz, Rome, Venice, Tuscany, Florence, London, Dublin, Cork, Galway, Macedonia, Vienna, Aruba, Rosarito Beach, and anywhere else we could remember we have had breakfast. JT's Cafe in Blue Point has by far been the best! Even as I'm writing this, I'm trying to find a better place in my mind, and still can't think of one. The best Chicken and Waffles we have ever tasted. Moist and flavorful chicken... WHOLE BREAST... On top of a crisp yet moist waffle with amazing sausage gravy and chives. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE! and the Corn Bread eggs Benedict with Avocado and Tomato. Oh wow! The sweetness of the corn bread, the hearty beefsteak tomato, just mixed so well with the perfectly poached egg, ripe avocado, and the exact perfect portion of hollandaise sauce. Great service. Great vibe. Amazing food. Erik McCormack jamming out great tunes at a perfect volume. Our breakfast could not have been better Still, kudos to Flo's and Toast and Fultons Gate for great breakfasts. Never mind our old stand by of Peters luncheonette that never disappoints... But guys, Justin And Frank are killing it! BANGIN'!! 6 Stars!! Great Job. So far as that mid conversation about what we are going to do for our baby's first birthday party, my wife stopped and said "Oh my god, that was an amazing breakfast"! Now back to your regularly scheduled bowl of cereal. read more

Great cafe for breakfast, brunch and lunch sorry I never had dinner here. The menu is wonderfully different for each meal previously mentioned and reasonable priced. The service was attentive and carried out quickly. With plenty of parking and easy access from CR 97. read more

Our first time here and it definitely won't be our last. Every staff member we encountered was polite, gracious, and had a smile. Our waitress Lauren was great, and made suggestions about the menu when I was undecided. The food was prepared well and the portions were large. Nothing tasted "frozen", everything seemed freshly made and we were very satisfied with everything. Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. read more

I gave it one star because you have to give at least a star. Went on a Sunday morning (March20), for breakfast. The hostess asked if we wanted to sit at the bar, there were 2 of us, we said we'd rather have a table. She rolled her eyes ......... She rolled her eyes !! The waitress came over 3 times to ask if "everything was ok". It didn't take long for us to realize they wanted us to leave so they could put tables together for a 6 person party. I ordered an açaí bowl so we were there an extended period of time. I thought the hostess and waitress were both rude and obnoxious. I won't be going there again read more

Came here for Sunday brunch and I was not disappointed! Got the banana foster waffle and it was a piece of heaven, my husband got the crunch berry french toast. He liked his meal but liked my meal better, it was pretty amazing. There was live music which added a cozy feeling to the place. I'd definitely recommend this place, and our server mike was also great too! read more

Stopped in on a whim. Place had a great ambiance and setting. Trivia night was going on which seemed like a fun time. Not many vegetarian options, but that was ok when you randomly stop in beggars cant be choosers. The main dilemma with the visit was that the brussel sprouts we ordered HAD BACON IN IT, which had absolutely no distinction of being served as such on the menu. And even worse the waiter had the gall to say it was just "an extra crispy piece of brussel sprout". I tasted it because I'm not as strict of a vegetarian as my girlfriend and i know what bacon tastes like. Would never ever come back here. Cant rightfully give it 1 star because of the enticing drinking environment. read more

I live in Patchogue. We are *spoiled* for great restaurants in Patchogue (with new ones opening up all the time). I used to love trying the new restaurants and seeing which ones were worth recommending to my friends. (Which, honestly, most of them were. Like I said, spoiled.) And then I tried JT's Cafe in Blue Point. A year later, it finally dawned on me that we hadn't eaten out anywhere other that JT's for that entire year. This place is that good. I have never had a bad meal at JT's. They do a great brunch: waffles piled with fresh seasonal fruit, decadent French toast, the best cold brew coffee in the area and eggs Benedict with house-made corned beef hash. Lunch is the meal I've done least at JT's. The one thing I do know is that they make a mean Cuban sandwich and a *fantastic* burger. Get the dessert menu if you want to order the burger--their milkshakes are very much worth ordering with the meal. Dinner, though, is my favorite meal by far. The chicken pot pie is the best I've ever gotten at a restaurant--it rivals my mother's. Their steaks are as good as their burger--but I usually go for the skirt steak over the ribeye so I can get their delicious macaroni and cheese. Their pork chops are amazing, the portions are huge...I could go on and on! The vibe of the place is beachy and super laid-back; you think you should be walking out of JT's onto Jones Beach instead of Montauk Highway. Hubby and I regularly play cards at our table, especially at brunch. No one bats an eye. And the servers are some of the sweetest people. We actually bought a Christmas present for one of them last year! One important note, though: this place is *tiny* and does not take reservations. If you go during prime dining hours plan to wait a while for a table and hope for standing space at the bar while you wait. You might wonder if this place is worth the trouble. It is. It really is. read more

I've been meaning to review this place ever since they opened. After having about 20 five star experiences I've decided that I need to share. Justin (Owner) kept all of the positive aspects built up by Johnathan (Previous Sage Owner) over his 30 year endeavor but added a Salt Shore type of vibe with a circa 1971 VW Westfalia appurtenance parked outside attesting to it's laid back, classically styled beach atmosphere. Being of a restaurant background for 30 years, I recognize the quality ingredients used and that, at the sacrifice of cost percentages, they serve ample and well balanced entrees that over-satisfy an apatite as large as mine (a 200+ lb triathlete who needs his k-calories;) To sum this up, go there and see for yourself, you will not be dissatisfied with this new addition to Blue Point! Favorite items: Monte Cristo Breakfast Burrito Assorted Hash (Turtle??;) Bene's (I obviously enjoy savory over sweet but they have an entire section of the menu dedicated to French Toast!) Memorable Staff: Justin (Owner) Londi (Server) Lauren (Bar Tender) Holly Brian read more

JT's feels like a nice, chill, hole-in-the wall type of place with great food. Their brunch offers a lot of selections including excellent cocktails/milkshakes. The menu also has a lot of creative twists on classic breakfast options. Moderately priced and good service. read more

Brought mom here for mother's day dinner, my sister has raved about this place. The atmosphere overall is great, very welcoming and friendly people. We were seated immediately, and our server was very attentive from the moment we sat down. Great local beers on tap and a full bar for any drink you could possibly want. They write their specials on a paper plate, and it seems they constantly rotate out new dishes which is nice. Everything we ordered was delicious and incredibly fresh. I can't imagine that any of the food we ordered was made before we asked for it. Definitely recommend the crispy chicken wings, their house made sauce is delicious! What really took me back about this place was the incredibly positive experience we had here. I could not leave with a single negative thing to say about the food, service or anything else. I will definitely be coming back here! Highly recommended! read more

Went for brunch on Sunday, was pretty busy thank god we made a reservation because I was with a party of 7.
