    The fries were cold and soggy,
    Nina R.

    Stay away. "Kismet" is the wrong name for this place. Service sucks here. I saw a couple who were seated after us get their food before we did. I questioned the waitress and she replied with an attitude, "you ordered an appetizer so you gotta give us a sec." Snarky as hell. A "sec"?? We've been sitting here 45 minutes, waiting for cheeseburgers with fries. I guess the owner and manager don't care how rude their staff is or how bad the food is: the baked clams were purely stuffing, not an ounce of clam in sight or in flavor), and only 3 on the plate (the waitress forgot the forks and napkins) because this place is the only food between Robert Moses Field five and Ocean Beach. They know they will make money no matter what kind of snarky teen slings their slop. The manager clearly didn't pay attention to the weather report for this weekend: there were only three people to seat, serve, and bus on a sparkling fall day, probably the last good beach day for 2023 visitors on Fire Island. I won't be going back there again. Our bill was over $73 for cold burgers and fries. Boo hoo, Kismet Inn.

    Came here for a break from our hike from Field 5 to Kismet and not too many choices for food as nothing was open and it was either This or pizza. There is a outdoor area for seating with a couple of tables with umbrellas and a couple of shaded tables along the wall. We opted for a table outside. Let me just say that the feed was extremely disappointing and very unfresh. We ordered the mussels which were sandy. The calamari was like rubber and I'm not sure what type of flour they used for the coating. I actually had a stomach from the food afterwards. The only good thing about the meal was the nice cold beer on tap. It's like they have a monopoly in the area since only the pizza place was open and everything else either didn't open til Friday or it was further down and you have to walk there.

    Service took forever on a mild day. Food was okay. They got tvs to watch sport games. But the service is slow

    Grilled cheese and fries

    Wanted to come for a fun drink but new rules say you have to order food also so we got lunch. Unfortunately they didn't have a drink menu tho and I can't just invent stuff off the top of my head so I stuck to water. I got a grilled cheese and fries-fries were awesome, so crispy! The grilled cheese was pretty greasy but still good. My bf got a beer and the blt which was also good-very crispy bacon! We walked over here from Robert Moses so it was a nice day!

    The food here is just ok, but the location on the water is obviously fantastic! I prefer the Out for food, but if it's too busy or something, the Inn will do just fine.

    Outdoor dining next to the marina
    Sarah K.

    Situated right next to the marina, the outside dining experience provides an amazing view. I had the steak tidbits with mozzarella cheese, the baked clams, and my boyfriend enjoyed a nice salad. We can't say enough good things about the Kismet Inn. Screw Olive Garden, when you're at the kismet inn you're family. Our server Kailey was fantastic and helped with a great dining experience!

    Another phenomenal experience dining here!!! The portions are out of this world. Came here between…read morelunch and dinner and decided on the dinner menu. I had a caesar salad with lobster which was so delicious. The lobster was already shelled out so no need to worry about cracking lobster! Tasted so fresh and hit the spot. My husband got a burger and fries and no complaints there. Me and my daughter tried the fries and they were so good. My daughter inhaled her fried calamari either the cocktail sauce. Nice presentation too. I got an Arnold palmer and it was pinkish due to the pink lemonade. I am not a fan of their pink lemonade and feel regular lemonade would taste fresher and better. The service here was so on point again. Please give your Tinker Bell waitress a raise she was so great with us! I don't know her name but she was adorable and very accommodating to our table. Explained what they were out of and knew the dish well when I asked if the eggplant with the penne alla vodka was breaded. It was breaded by the way and eas delicious. It was nicely cut thin and came with this sourdough bread that was toasted and spiced so good. Not sure what the spice was but it was a warm toasty flavor. I noticed the waitress was doing a lot of work the restaurant was pretty full and she was the only waitress we saw there. Excellent job she does keeping up. If I could have left her a bigger tip I would have. I think the restaurant needs at least another waiter or waitress because of how crowded it can get. I would dine here again if I am on the island again. It's great for families and get togethers!

The Brixton is a beautiful restaurant with very relaxed and casual vibes. The word around town is that their drinks are awesome. What about their food, though? They originally would not seat us in the middle of the afternoon because most of the empty tables were reserved. We had to request to sit outside, which was empty, before they decided to serve us. Odd that they did not even offer that to us. The General Tso' Cauliflower was the only great thing served to us. It is incredibly crispy and flavorful. You almost forgot that you were eating a piece of vegetable at times. The Short Rib Brisket Sesame burger was shocking. $18 for two White Castles-sized sliders. It was easily consumed, and I was left much to be desired. This is most definitely an appetizer item, not an entree. The Chicken Waffle was good. Nicely deep-fried and packs a lot of flavor. The waffle looked dubious. If I had to guess, it might not be mad fresh to order. Essentially, it's 3 drumsticks/wings over a possibly frozen Eggo waffle. I would recommend a second dish if you are looking to get full. The Steak frites and Eggs Benedict were the final dishes served. It is hard to mess these dishes up, but the ribeye was nicely seasoned and cut up. The dishes were nicely displayed. Overall, this is just an OK experience. When the deep-fried cauliflower appetizer is the most memorable dish here, it is quite alarming. Portion sizes are on the small end, and none of the flavors for the entrees really stuck out. Perhaps I will come here strictly for the drinks next time.
