    Cheeseburger Nachos & Return of the Mac Burger
    Debora F.

    Always a solid choice! Burgers are always great, and I love that I can walk in without a long wait. The service is friendly and efficient every time. My go-to burger is the Return of the Mac. The milkshakes are so good too & definitely worth getting.

    We attended breakfast with the Easter Bunny this morning and we had a great time. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. There were crayons and Easter coloring pages. The bunny moved around, took pictures and gave high five throughout the entire event. My girls enjoyed themselves.

    Always a good lunch here. Burgers are delicious and the sides are great too. I like that you can customize everything and it comes out just right. We have been here quite a few times. The decor is fun and casual and the staff is awesome every time!

    Burger burger burger baby! Woohoo! Great stuff here. Quality good ol American fare here. Burger joints beware, this place is fire. Grass fed burgers and dogs?!?! I'm here ALLL day. Brussels sprouts cooked to delicious perfection? I say yes I can come here, get my cheat meal in, and not feel totally guilty either. Sketch and fun arrangements of burgers and dogs, fries to compliment, and why not, lemme get a shake with that! If ONLY, they'd switch over to frying in beef tallow in lieu of those dreaded seed oils, then that's a rap, this place would be firing on all cylinders. Service is super friendly and every time have always been happy to make simple accommodations; don't want the bacon and sauce on your Brussels? No problem, on the side. Want to give a local beer a sample? No problem. This place comes together nicely with great food, great service, and fun and comfortable atmosphere. I'm not from Bayshore, I'm a good 25-30 min away and gladly will be coming back for more. Highly recommend. 5/5. And yes, I signed up for their rewards

    I have been here many times and they have been in Bay Shore for many years. As someone who doesn't eat animal products, my review comes from that point of view. The restaurant is very clean and inviting. It is table service or you can get takeout/delivery. The menu items are very reasonably priced. There is a full bar, and three seating areas (high tops, regular tables, and back/outdoor/enclosed). The bathrooms were clean and the service is very friendly. There is only really one menu main that I am able to get, and that is the quinoa burger, but I am very appreciative that there is that option. You can also "build your own burger," so that allows for variations each time which makes it a little bit more exciting. The sides are also good, and I appreciate that the "brussels sprouts with bacon" can be made without the bacon, it's not pre-made. The drinks were also very good! When I'm craving a quinoa burger, I know I can get one here!

    Fresh made milkshakes

    The best burger spot on the Island. We go at least twice a month. The service is always on point and the atmosphere is cozy and fun. Try the shakes and ask about seasonal flavors. There are so many choices on the menu that are amazing and I like to create my own burger.

    Having been to the location in Patchogue, I was familiar with the menu. When my coworker said she was ordering here for lunch I deceived to order with her. I ordered the Captain Chicken and truffle fries. Captain Chicken was hand breaded chicken with slaw, pickles and chipotle ranch. It was just okay. I didn't taste any chipotle ranch, and it was smushed. The truffle fries didn't have any truffle taste at all. They tasted very basic. I had garlic aioli on the side which was decent in flavor. My coworker created her own burger with mushrooms and cheddar. She said the mushrooms weren't fresh, and they tasted canned. She also ordered sweet potato fries which she enjoyed. An average lunch. Would order here again if my coworker wanted to, but it's definitely not my first choice for places on Main Street.

    I ordered a burger with lettuce, fried egg, pickles, mushrooms, and peanut butter on the side. (I saw a burger on the menu with PB and wanted to try it but didn't want to commit to a whole burger with it) The burger came with no mushrooms and PB on it, so I had to return it. Then it came out fine - with the exception of it literally being the smallest burger I've ever came across. The width of the burger was the same size of the lettuce - no exaggeration. Needless to say, I was starving by the time I finished it it maybe 4 bites? So I ordered another dispute not wanting to but I was in a rush and hungry. The second i would put money was even smaller than the first. I will NEVER return for a burger.

    This was my first time here . My husband is a huge burger lover so we came here with my daughter and son in law to celebrate his 70 th BD! The decor is pretty cool with a lot of LED lights. There's plenty of seating , regular tables and high tops . The atmosphere is super casual! We were greeted by a very friendly server and were quickly seated . You can order beer and cocktails here so we started off with some drinks , I had the Mango Margarita and my husband had The Peach Bourbon Tea, both made were excellent and well made ! Besides burgers they have several chicken selections , hot dogs , a variety of sides and milkshakes . Onto the amazing burgers ! My husband had the Shroom Burger stuffed with Swiss, bacon , mushrooms and sautéed onions and I had the Cannonball , bacon , cheddar cheese lettuce, tomato, pickles , onion ring with BBQ sauce .. perfectly prepared and so,so delicious! We ordered several sides to share , onion rings , these were nicely crisp , sweet potato fries , so sweet almost like desert , crispy Brussel sprouts and Parmesan Truffle fries ... they were all scrumptious! Also the prices are reasonable , for your money you are getting a well made grass feed burger ! You can't go wrong! I I highly recommend you trying these burgers , we certainly enjoyed our meal and plan to return!

    Local Burger is one of my favorite place and I love taking people here when they come to Long Island! Every person that I have brought has not been disappointed in the quality or the service! I recently got the pretzels for the first time and they were AMAZING! I love a good soft pretzel and these were SO soft and salty (only thing that would make it better is cheese)! The mac and cheese is a fan favorite and I get it every time I go. It is so creamy and the noodles are cooked perfectly!

    Three star reviews are never meant to be negative. Sometimes it's just how things go. Nothing is…read morebad per se, but nothing is necessarily great either. That was kind of the case a few weeks ago at Dark Horse Tavern in Bay Shore. I came here with some buddies for dinner on a Sunday night and things were totally fine. I mean like I said, I can't speak to anything being truly negative. Dark Horse had a relatively spacious and inviting interior with a little holiday flair. Our waitress was friendly enough and our food came at a good pace. And what I ordered wasn't too shabby...though I guess if there's anything to say about my three star feelings, it might be there. Now Dark Horse did have a decently-sized menu, but after visiting a brewery prior to this dinner trip, I was feeling something simple like a burger. Featuring a juicy Lucy sounded like a win as did the idea of Cajun fries. Those spuds were rather good, though the juicy part of said Lucy wasn't really that juicy. Despite having never been to Minnesota, I know this type of burger really needs some gooey cheese coming out of it and this one lacked that. The burger itself was good, but like an "easily-forgettable" good. The same could be said for their Dark Horse Lager beer. I've been to other Dark Horses on the island and have seen (and I believe had) this brew, but for whatever reason it just seemed very bland and basic. Perhaps after having some more elaborate beers prior my tastebuds were looking for something with more zing, but I can't say for sure. All I know is between this and the basic burger, I really didn't have anything great (or ultimately negative) to say. Overall, yeah I suppose some of that sounds negative and a three star review feels a little meh towards other prospective eaters and readers of this review, but that's me telling the truth here. If I were in Bay Shore and someone suggested Dark Horse for dinner I probably wouldn't say no because just about everything will be decent enough, but if you're specifically asking me for recommendations in the area, I'm probably going to mention a bunch of other places instead. Just sayin'.

If you're looking for something fancy, this is definitely not the place for you, but if you're looking for a small, intimate dive bar with good food, this is it. The only downside is since the bar is small, the bathroom situation is rough. There's only one stall in the women's room, so if it's busy, be prepared to wait. And they could use a bit more variety when it comes to beer on tap.
