    Breakfast bowl
    Steph W.

    Ambiance (5/5): Their indoor section was bustling on the weekend. There are a couple countertop seats as well. There's a covered outdoor section where we sat since they were dog friendly! Service (5/5): The establishment was very busy with every table basically full by 10:30am. However, they were attentive throughout the whole dining experience. The staff were super warm and friendly. Hot drip coffee is self-serve! The specials for the day were written on a chalk board in the outdoor dining area. We opted to try their: Lemon Ricotta Pancake (5/5): So so so good! It was thin and had a forward taste of the lemon which I loved. It tasted great even without maple syrup.' Breakfast Bowl (4/5): I don't think there was anything to write home about but their poached eggs were great! I should have assumed that the bowl was going to consist mostly of potatoes.

    Today my boyfriend and I drove through Mattituck and stumbled on Love Lane right off of the Main Street. Since it was lunch time - we were driving around trying to choose a place to eat and decided on Love Lane Kitchen, honestly very randomly. Right when you come in, you will notice that the place is filled with loads of corny but cute signs about love. There are couple of tables, a communal table in the middle and a bar you can sit at. The whole place had a very homely feeling to it. We were seated at the communal table since all the little tables were taken. We were serviced in a reasonable amount of time and were checked on often but not excessively. It is a small small space with lots of workers, so I imagine it wasn't hard to get someone's attention if you needed anything. Workers were pleasant and made small talk. The menu isn't very diverse in items, but definitely reasonably priced. We ended up spending less then $60 (before tip) for two meals and 3 drinks. I ordered the Goat Cheese Panini ($16) and my boyfriend decided to have Sliced Steak Sandwich ($22). My goodness my panini was delicious! It definitely qualifies as one of the best meals I had so far this year. The ingredients and bread chosen complimented each other very well. I definitely enjoyed it and would love to come back for seconds whenever I find myself in the area. As for my boyfriends steak sandwich - he gave it a 8/10. He told me the steak was cooked well and the sandwich tasted average. He is a hard man to please and an 8 is quite a high score from him. Overall I am very happy we decided to eat in this particular restaurant, and would love to be back soon.

    A cozy little place.

    This places gets better every year. So many great choices on the specials menu, especially (but not only) for seafood fans. The blackened salmon sandwich is divine. Good price for great food and service always terrific.

    Good little diner in Mattituck with quick service on weekends. Decent prices. Wait times can be 15-45 minutes or so. We chose to sit at the bar and were good right away. Ordered a stack of flapjacks, two sunny side up eggs on the side, and a Cuban sandwich with fries. Flapjacks were excellent. Syrup was a little thin so we ended up using a lot. Cuban was very good too. Not too dry or anything. Would get it again. Fries were alright Coffee was as you'd expect - average

    Super cute and busy restaurant on the main street of Mattituck! Came here with some family on a Saturday afternoon and were quoted a 20-30 minute wait for a table for 6. Unfortunately, we did have to be seated on the patio because there was no table large enough inside and it was pretty hot outside. I would really love if they could add some fans to the outdoor seating area for next year! I ordered the Pretty Bitter ($7) mocktail which was aptly named. If you are a grapefruit lover, this is the perfect choice for you. I also ordered the Baja Fish Tacos ($18) which were very dry and had the texture of cardboard. While the mango salsa was delicious, there was not enough moisture to save the seared fish. I also got to try the Chicken Avocado Mango Salad ($19) which had a very sweet mango dressing and some pale (possible poached?) chicken breast. I think I would have liked some color or some grill marks on it. My favorite entrée that I tried ended up being the Goat Cheese Panini ($16) which was absolutely phenomenal. It was packed with grilled seasonal vegetables like zucchini and squash with a healthy schmear of goat cheese. This is something I would definitely order again and again. Some comments from around the table included: - "This chicken is really dry" in regards to the Chicken Guacamole and Bacon Panini ($19) - "The steak is a little overcooked but I love the parm fries" in regards to the Steak Frites ($22) Overall, it's a decent place in town for some brunch but I thought the food was solidly average. I will say however that the service is great and they provide a QR code on your bill so you can pay via phone.

    Sliced Steak Sandwich.

    LLK has the best steak sandwich on the North Fork. I hope this picture does it justice because the hangar steak is always perfectly marinated and so tender. Hangar steak is usually tough, but this is the opposite. Horseradish mayo and fresh red onions. So good.

    Salmon-Avocado toast

    I stopped into Love Lane Kitchen recently, I have not been there in a while & wanted to grab a nice healthy breakfast. I had one of the specials which was salmon/avocado toast. It was very good. The service was friendly & and the restaurant was clean & comfy with all the Love Lane charm Mattituck has to offer.

    We came here for lunch after getting off the ferry. Service was super friendly! The specials board had excellent choices as did the regular menu. Pastrami and a Cuban was a lovely meal. Also, appreciate the self serve water dispenser! Busy place and for good reason. Definitely worth checking out!

    Five starts, especially for service. It was such a nice day out yesterday that my husband and I wanted to take out food to-go rather than eat inside the restaurant. We placed the order (chicken fingers and fries with pickles and a sandwich) and advised we'll be waiting outside. I didn't think they'd actually bring us the food (we figured we'll check in after a bit) but they were kind enough to bring us the food and take our payment outside. Another worker must've realized they forgot the pickles and brought it out to us. They were extremely kind and the food was delicious!

    Side of bacon

    I've wanted to come here for quite some time. Being that it's a 40 minute drive I put it off. I was going to be in the area today so I decided to stop in for breakfast. It was only me, so I opted to sit at the counter and not take a table. I was given menus and advised where the coffee was as it is "serve yourself." I ordered a breakfast bowl which consisted of breakfast potatoes, eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado and pico de gallo. I also had a side of bacon and coffee. The breakfast bowl was just okay. Nothing really to brag about. Breakfast potatoes had decent seasoning. Bacon was cooked nicely. I also had coffee. I was not a fan of "serve yourself" as you have to get up numerous times if you drink your coffee throughout your meal. It also gets crowded at the coffee area so your food gets cold. Eh. Not sure if I'd drive the 40 mins again.

    Came here this morning for breakfast with my family. Great service & cute spot. Makes you feel at home. I had the BEC on focaccia, my son had French toast & my husband had the steak & eggs. All really good! I'd go back!

    I've heard a lot about Love Lane Kitchen over the years and took a ride out to check it out. It is a small quaint little place with both indoor, outdoor, and tent seating. They have a number of food and drink options that should satisfy most people. The seating was close but everyone was very friendly, service was good and food came out timely and correct. If you're in the area and have time to stop by, it's a great place to grab something to eat. It's nestled in the heart of town with many other businesses close by that offer hours of activities.

    Good service & tasty food. Very lively inside the restaurant too! Would recommend and go back!

    This was our second time visiting there. Cute and quaint place in an interesting location because…read moreyou're in a residential area. I ordered the vegetable panini and it was delicious. There was a hair in it (I've worked in a restaurant before so I was extremely understanding about that). I sent it back for a new one and they took it off the bill without me asking. My husband ordered the burger and he devoured it. The truffle fries are a must. Last time they had a better more varied beer selection. This time they only had one IPA on tap but it was good. Overall a great experience and I'd come back again!

My wife had called to…read moreconfirm if we needed a reservation for two and she was told no and that they would ensure us we had a table. Once we got there; with our luck, the restaurant was full and we had to wait a few mins because their system was down. Which is understandable. As we wait, the couple after us had made reservations for 2 and their table was ready. First impressions matter to me and there is no reason for inconsistency when it comes to reservations. Finally, after a few more mins, they found us a table. Once we sat, and we ordered some water, they decided to moves us again to another table. Now im bothered but I didn't want that to ruin my night. The waitress took our order for drinks and food. The whisky sour was ok and our wait for food began. The couple next to us had their appetizers and main entrees served before we even got our appetizers. I understand it may have been busy, but everyone around was getting there food quicker, lack of attention. We finally got our entrees and the dishes were ok. My duck was cooked perfectly but my wife's dish lacked some flavor. She had to be careful because the fish had fish bones and we had thought they had taken those out. As we waited for the food I noticed that the owner was walking around and greeting the customers and finding out how the food was. I believe that every owner should follow this man's footsteps because he was very attentive to all and I feel that he turned our experience around for the better. Once we finished, he asked us about the food and what brought us there. Conversation with him was great and easy. We mentioned to him that my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and he surprised us with a dessert and coffee. This dessert was incredible and his sweet gesture made the experience so much better. I hope to return one day and give them another chance. I would say try this restaurant and make sure you make reservations because the restaurant is always full.

Last year I saw that they had a lobster roll special for $19.99. Add a soda for $1. The Windermere odd a beautiful place to go and enjoy lunch or dinner and some live music on the weekend. They have outdoor dining with plenty of umbrellas if you choose, or go out onto the sprawling lawn and relax in a Adirondack chair by a fire pit and enjoy the surroundings, and the waterfront. We had a lovely table and a great waiter with personality. Michael H was a lot of fun to chat with during our lunch. He insisted on me mentioning his awesome hair ! He took great care of our table and provided great conversation. We were a part of 5 and we each ordered the lobster roll warm. You could get cold too. The lobster rolls were really delicious and generous and a great deal for $19.99!!!! It came with no sides so we ordered the onion rings which were perfectly crisp and stacked on a tall skewer. We also ordered fries as well and most importantly, a round of there very delicious martinis and a gin/tonic. Our day at the infante was perfect, michael the waiter was great (shout out again) and the lobster rolls are the best deal around! I highly recommend going there and seeing for yourself!

    Redemption! I always…read moretry to keep an open mind when visiting a restaurant, especially if it's new. Well, I'm happy to say this one has matured very well. Just walking in, we were warmly greeted, then quickly seated. This place is "picnic style", so you're given menus at your table, but order at the counter (I personally like that vibe). Anyway, we ordered their 1/4 pound, five-meat sampler (pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket, a competition-style rib and a whole smoked sausage) and they converted me. Everything was nothing short of awesome. Both the pork and chicken were juicy and tender, the brisket this time around was smoked to succulent perfection and the rib was nothing short of excellent (not 'fall off the bone", but with that perfect competition "pull" that really won me over). The sausage I learned was locally sourced and a great compliment to the platter. Enough for two with small appetites to share. The sauce is still in small cups, but as I was told, there had been so much waste left on empty plates, that they had no choice to serve it that way, and I get that. Restaurants run on very thin margins these days. I had the spicy version again and really enjoyed it. Add in some live music played by a couple of good ole boys and since my first visit 9 months ago, this place has turned into a legit Long Island BBQ joint and will now be part of my usual rotation. I still think the hush puppies could have used a few seconds less in the fryer, but the flavor profile was spot on as was the corn fritters. But we left happy and full...I'm glad I was able to get back and try it again. Plenty of parking, all cards and a very laid back experience. Great for families or a stop by while cruising the north fork of Long Island. It's a gotta-go in my opinion. Nicely done!

There is plenty of parking and a ramp if needed. There's a bar and an eating area. There's also an outside area that looks like it is pet friendly. This is a very nice place. I wish we lived closer.
