    Grilled chicken with cheese.
    Angelica G.

    Friday night dinner with my nephew. I ordered the grilled chicken ranch without a bun or bacon. I made sure to alter the waitress that I was ordering Gluten Free meal. The service and staff were great, as usual. We arrived, and had the option to sit wherever we wanted. I believe we best the rush hour.

    Still so good! Service is always great and the ambiance inside is so nice. I love the way it's decorated. Such a good burger!! I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was cooked perfectly. The fries were also pretty good- and the prices aren't bad either. If you're craving a burger- this is definitely the spot to go to.

    We came in on Sunday, June 7, 2026. We were looking for a dog friendly place and called ahead and it was not a problem. We were served promptly (I believe his name was Jacob- but not sure) he was GREATand was extremely friendly and helpful. Food was delish- I had the PB Burger (My FAVE!) and my boyfriend had the Hangover Burger which we also loved. We split the 50/50 Fries and Onion Rings. We hung out and had a few Blue Point beers and then ordered the Nachos which we also loved. We will definitely return!

    I thought the burgers were very good here. I had the Local Burger and the Skin On Fries. The place is very casual and has a laid-back vibe. Service was nice, and I didn't have to wait long for a table on a Friday night.

    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

    Brussels sprouts, truffle fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries

    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!

    Smushed sandwich
    Meri L.

    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.

The wings were tasty, but they were small in size. The steak was just okay. The flavor was good, but the portion was pretty small.

Our waiter was friendly, attentive, checked on us frequently and showed our pup some love, which we appreciated. We enjoyed our experience and the dog friendly outdoor seating was a plus. The food was more along the lines of typical bar food, so I would say this is a good spot for drinks, wings and a casual bite rather than a destination for the food itself.

I would eat here again, but I wouldn't necessarily say I'm feigning to go back! If this place was local to my house, you could bet the ranch that I would be there more often. I was not disappointed, but I also didn't get that. Wow, factor that I was expecting.... I wanna miss food at a place that I haven't eaten at. I want that one bite that keeps me wanting more and this was a good meal, but didn't quite hit the mark as far as food experience service. Would recommend but I don't think it's worth it for the travel of 40 minutes

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'.

Unfortunately, the problems started long before the actual event. It took multiple attempts on my part just to book the room. I had to repeatedly initiate contact and follow up because my messages were not being answered. I had reservations about moving forward, but I really liked the room and had heard good things about the restaurant, so I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the communication only became worse as the bridal shower approached. About a month before the event, I called and received no response. I repeatedly had to reach out to get basic information about my daughter's bridal shower--questions regarding table sizes, what I could bring, and other details that should have been communicated proactively by the person responsible for coordinating the event. I was even told to call back two weeks before the shower, yet I was continually left hanging when I tried to get answers. At that point, it became very clear that my event was not being treated with the attention or professionalism I expected. I tried not to let it bother me because this was my daughter's special day, and I wanted to remain positive and enjoy the celebration. Unfortunately, the day of the shower confirmed many of my concerns. I was charged a 20% administration fee, which I find extremely difficult to justify given the level of service and communication I received. The person responsible for the event did little more than take my order. There was no meaningful coordination, no personal attention, and no sense that anyone was invested in making sure this important event went smoothly. He did not even greet me when I arrived for the bridal shower. I was not properly introduced to or informed about the bartender or waitstaff, and there was a general lack of communication and coordination throughout the event. The staff was also extremely unfriendly and unaccommodating. The service felt unprofessional from start to finish. There was very little warmth or hospitality, and the lack of smiles or basic attentiveness was particularly disappointing for an event that was supposed to be a happy and celebratory occasion. Several of my guests independently commented to me about the poor service, which confirmed that I was not simply being overly critical. A bridal shower is a special milestone, and the person hosting it should not have to chase down the restaurant for basic information or wondering whether anyone is actually paying attention to the event. I chose this restaurant because I loved the room and had heard positive things. Unfortunately, the poor communication, lack of professionalism, unfriendly staff, and questionable administration fee overshadowed what should have been a wonderful experience. The room may be beautiful, but a beautiful room does not make up for poor service and even poorer communication. I would not host another special event here, and based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant for anyone planning an important celebration.
