Every summer I go on a hunt for the best lobster roll. I like to try new places since my go to place decided to change their recipe. This is my third lobster roll this summer, and this the best one of the season for sure. It is pure perfection. This is a small nook outdoor restaurant in on the bay of Islip. Honestly loved the vibes and overall atmosphere. My friend always says I find the best lobster rolls. Try it for yourself, you won't regret it. Please don't change your recipe!! read more

The waterside view is wonderful. The rest is just ok. You order from the window and they bring you your drinks and food. We had 2 cocktails a fish sandwich platter, and a fish sandwich. It came to $78. Paper plates and plastic ware is used. Lackluster service. The food is fine. I wanted to love it. Please make it better! I would love to love this local spot! I'd rather go to Whalers and spend my money there. read more

I feel anytime Al fresco is the call to order- how can you go wrong? Outdoor, patio dining. No table Service aside from the delivery of your order to the table. Lots of fried items and priced some what on the high end for burgers n fries (which btw- sign says choice of potato which means; regular fries, waffle fries, sweet potato fries or onion rings) There is a grilled chicken sandwich if you want to move away from the fried category. Limited Beer, wine and tropical Drinks. Slice of watermelon for $3.50 . For 2 crispy chicken platters, 1grilled chicken platter and Straight up Turkey burger-no fries-3 waters and a Sauvignon Blanc.... $98. And they forget the pickles on all platters. . However, nice sunset, bay breeze and good company. read more

We were at the Islip Beach on Friday August 16th ..... We paid in Cash a Total of $28.13 for 2-Sabrett Hot Dogs @$3.95 & 2-Frozen Strawberry (NON-Alcoholic) Drinks for our Grandchildren. They did not get their drinks when served the Hot Dogs and waited for a while & had to go the Counter to ask for the drinks ...they had to go back to the receipt with the name you give them. It appears these drinks cost about $10.00 EACH? Why Does Syrup & Crushed Ice cost this much? ..... Since they do not give Receipts... I did not think much of it until after we left ...also do not like the idea of no receipt and listing of what you ordered. read more

This place is okay for a quick bite to eat and drinks with a beach view. I wouldn't come here specifically for anything on the menu. I ordered a cranberry juice to sit and watch some waves & get some sun. Half way through my drink... I found what looked like a booger in my drink .. gross. But their waffle fries are not bad! Neither is the view! You can sit anywhere and get a good view of the water. It's relaxing here. read more

Told hubby I felt like sitting by the ocean and listening to live music. Looked up this place on Yelp and they delivered. Ordered fries and onion rings to munch on while listening to the one man live band (he was really good and his variety of song choices was fantastic!). The fries and rings came out piping hot just like I like them. They have a playground area next to the restaurant so there were families out enjoying themselves. The prices were a little high and the place could have been a little cleaner. Didn't use the restrooms so can't report on that but it is right by the beach. It seemed to be the seating area and restrooms may have been more the town's responsibility than the restaurant's, not sure. The beach itself is quite rocky and could use some weed reoval but all in all, it was great for just sitting there listening to the waves and some mellow tunes. My only one real complaint is there was a woman vaping right in front of the walk-up counter in clear view of the no smoking sign. When I asked the cashier did the sign include the seating area, the woman overheard me and got up to go down to the beach area. I appreciated her removing herself before anyone had to say something directly to her but I think the staff should be trained to politely ask them to follow the rules without any of the other customers having to say something first (the cashier told me it's common that people break that rule). read more

Found this gem on a whim and random Sunday drive. The food isn't fancy but tasty and filling. We have been there for snacks and breakfast. Both kept me pleased. Boneless chicken wings were over crusted but that was the suppliers issue, and a tad dry but dipping sauce helped. Breakfasts are a pleasure, all fresh made. Try the blueberry pancake it's amazing, as is the ciabatta egg Sammie's. Coffe is good but the breakfast mix drinks are a pleasant surprise. These folks aim to please and the fact that you're sitting at the edge of the Great South Bay watching the world wake up it fantastic. Oh and they have live music most every night. read more

I felt like I was on vacation. The summer crisp early summer breeze combined with the playlist of incredible beach music made the atmosphere wonderful. For a while I forgot I was in NY. The restaurant is not hard to find . The space is limited . Unless you plan on picking up something and walking near by. I must say this is not the most scenic beach. So when you look out with the feeling of vacation and you don't see blue waves , it's kind of a let down. But that's no reflection on the restaurant. My husband and stumbled on this place and we really enjoyed ourselves. We loved the atmosphere . The service was quick and friendly . The food came out promptly. We didn't really order a large meal. Just a hotdog , coconut shrimp and drinks. Now about the taste of the food . Ok, that's why I have the place four stars. I would say the coconut shrimp was not the best. It lacked a certain jovial coconut taste . The fries were pretty standards . The Prosecco was just on the verge of alright . If the food was better , I think this place would have got the five stars. Although I may not order food but just a white claw. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Came here after seeing a sign on Main Street in Islip. I've been looking for a good outdoor restaurant that serves good drinks. What better than on the Great South Bay? This place is right on Islip Beach. I was lucky enough to not have to show an Islip ID because I said I was here for the restaurant but I'm not sure what the normal policy is. I ordered the caprese salad and a piña colada. First off, I'm super picky about my piña coladas. This one was BANGIN. Super creamy. Super yummy. And NOT MADE FROM A PRE-MADE MIX!!!!! The caprese salad was HUGE, presented beautifully, smelled delicious and was AMAZING. Can't wait to come back Monday night for dinner with my mom to hear the live music!!!! read more

Great food and lovely ambience. This place is right on the water and is the perfect for a quick bite and/or a nice cold drink! Sal, the owner, is absolutely a gem. He greets each customer individually and makes sure everyone is okay. Thanks them for their patronage and makes sure to introduce himself to first time customers. He makes you feel like you're coming over to your family's place for dinner. It's absolutely wonderful. The prices are extremely affordable for any restaurant but especially since it's a beach front restaurant. There's enough beach to let the kids play, have fun, while you watch them and relax. This really is a lovely restaurant tucked away in the heart of Islip. Two thumbs way up. read more

It's a cute place for quick drinks but definitely not for food. We order the baked crab as well as the beef and chicken empanadas and I'm sorry to say but... they weren't very good. The empanadas were filled with some sort of mystery meat and very cold in the middle. The baked crab was also cold in the middle and piled high with melted cheese and imitation crabmeat. The woman who served us was very sweet but never asked why we barely touched our food. I guess she already knew the food was inedible and didn't want to mention it. Overall, great drink spot but eat at your own risk. read more

This is a great casual place to go if you want a nice relaxed beach atmosphere. The food is good and so is the service. You can order your food at the outside hut or a waitress will come to your table. Our waitress was awesome...I just can't remember her name, but she was from Ireland and had the nicest personality. They have beer and wine, but if you want a drink with liquor we were told everything is wine based because they just have the license for beer and wine. I tasted my friends Tequila sunrise, it was okay, but I decided to stick with the wine, which was really good. We really liked this place because of the atmosphere and the service, and recommend it for a nice casual time when you want to just hang out at the beach and relax. read more

Being new to the South Shore, we had never been to Islip Beach, or Key West Beachfront Beer Garden. This seems like a really great place to meet up with friends to grab a couple drinks and some apps after a long day. We had a beautiful view of the Great South Bay and Fire Island Lighthouse from our table on the deck and it was a perfect late summer evening. Our waitress was very attentive and provided prompt service, but she seemed to be the exception. Unfortunately, our mixed drinks came out pretty weak and seemingly watered down. The food is good and there's decent variety too (but it didn't help our appetites that we had to watch the kitchen staff drinking and eating while prepping our food). Then surprise! If you pay with a card there's a 3.99% charge that's not posted anywhere visible to customers (so you better bring cash). We will definitely have to visit again....Maybe it was just an off night. read more

If I could I would give this place a 10 star review. My family and I frequent this place often, since we like going to the marina and this place offers great drinks at a reasonable price. One of the great surprises was finding they serve breakfast here. Makes for great Sunday brunch with the family. Everything thing just so freshly made and flavorful, from the pancakes, to the eggs and breakfast sandwich platters with home fries. Mimosas are top notch and the lemonade is great. The vibe is very much south Florida and key west. Sitting at the table looking out on the bay on a summer day you would think it was some beach bar in Key West. I think what makes this place over the top is the owner Sal. He comes to our table, introduces himself and gives our kids ice cream on the house. Have a great convo and we leave smiling and go for a swim in the beach. Great service, great hosts, great weather and great food. Fantastic. Literally called several friends after to recommend. Cannot say enough other than we look forward to coming back. Will definitely try the burger next time, since Sal says that's their signature dish. read more

My favorites were the the bulgogi beef, paella, salads, the orecchiette (but I'm a sucker for this dish), and bread pudding. The team was also very kind with dietary restrictions, putting meat/dairy salad toppings off to the side, and making vegetarian and vegan bibimbap bowls.

Let's talk about that $25 Thursday girls' night deal a martini, fries, and a Caesar salad? Yes, please. I upgraded to the parmesan fries for an extra $3 and have zero regrets, they were crispy, cheesy. and salty perfection. Of course, I couldn't ignore the oyster specials. $1 oysters + discounted varieties ($1 discount on every type of oyster) Dangerous. I ordered a dozen and shamelessly took them all down myself Fresh, briny, and absolutely worth it. My friend went the "balance" route with the grain bowl and added shrimp, which looked just as good as it tasted. Everything we had was on point. Service deserves a shoutout. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing smoothly without hovering. My martini was perfectly made (strong but smooth), and the overall vibe was lively, energetic, but still perfect for catching up. The vibe really made the night. Great food, great deal, great company. Honestly, it's the kind of spot that turns a casual night into a whole experience. I'll definitely be back.

We live on an island , but for some reason it's hard to find good oysters here. They always deliver and from a variety of regions. However the lobster roll is pretty bad. It was a bit undercooked and tasteless. Everything else was good , beet salad, truffle fries, and service all very good. Will be back not ordering lobster roll

I went out for lunch with two friends for New Year's Eve lunch and, unfortunately, the food was…read morevery disappointing. I ordered a coconut mojito, but it tasted only like lime--there was no coconut flavor at all or any rum which would have been ok don't need it to be strong but tasted like you were sucking on a lime. Two of us ordered tortilla soup, which had no flavor! It didn't resemble tortilla soup at all. It was a thick, non-translucent broth with large chunks of carrots, barely any tortilla strips, and it was served lukewarm again - no flavor ironically the server said the soup of the day was spicy tortilla chicken soup, no spicy, no flavor, no bueno! One of my friends ordered a quesadilla with a side of rice. The menu described the rice as "toasted with garlic," but she said it tasted like plain steamed minute white rice with no seasoning. We ended with coffee and churros. The coffee arrived well before the churros, and when the churros finally came, three had cinnamon sugar and one did not at all. None of them were warm, and the dough inside was undercooked and raw. All three of us agreed that the food lacked flavor across the board. Thankfully, the company was great, which made the experience more enjoyable than the meal itself. Hopefully, this was just an off day for the kitchen, but overall it was a very disappointing lunch.
