I was nervous about my visit to Uncle Joey's because the hype is so strong, and I figured there was…read moreno way it would live up to my expectations. Somehow, it still managed to exceed them. First and foremost, these were hands-down the best rainbow cookies I've ever eaten. Such a decadent chocolate layer, a generous amount of jam, and a perfect flavor to every element of the cookie. Rainbow cookies are my favorite cookies, and I've never had anything close to as good as these. Then, there's all the other rainbow inspired items that I couldn't resist. The cheesecake square is SO rich and decadent, but a must-buy - just don't try to eat it all in one sitting. The rainbow crumb is phenomenal as well, and the jelly layer at the bottom really hits the spot. The rainbow stuffed brownie was incredibly rich and fudge, the chocolate chip cookie was excellent, and the rainbow black and white is up there for one of my favorite items from the day! The chocolate covered donut was also incredible. I'm glad that I don't live too close, or I'd put on so much weight, but that I live close enough that I can stop by on occasion for some delicious treats.

The hype is real! We were finally able to stop in after two years of talking about it. We came on a…read moreSaturday. We were lucky enough to get a spot right in front even with the street ahead being closed for a carnival. It's smaller inside than I thought it would be, but there were only a few people inside at the time. The line moved quickly with the friendly and helpful staff. Everything has a rainbow cookie base. The rainbow cookie mix is great on its own. Whether it was donuts, cookies or cheesecake, everything was amazing. We got a little bit of everything to try. My two favorite were the black and white cookie, and the pignoli cookie. We were far from home so we were unable to buy the ice cream. I will definitely be buying it my next trip. Five stars!

An Amazing Hocus Pocus Dine-In Movie Experience! ‍…read more What an amazing experience at 317 Main Street! We attended their Hocus Pocus dine-in movie night, and everything was beautifully put together! From the moment we walked in, the Halloween decorations, spooky lighting, and themed table settings created the perfect atmosphere. It truly made the evening feel special! The six-course menu was so creative, with each dish inspired by the movie. From the Witches' Brew and Dragon's Fire Wings to the pumpkin risotto stuffed acorn squash, Ghost Pasta, and the adorable Dirt & Worm dessert, the presentation was fantastic! I loved how much thought and creativity went into every detail. The themed cocktails were also a wonderful touch! Watching a Halloween classic while enjoying a specially curated dining experience made the night even more memorable. The atmosphere was fun, cozy, and festive, and the entire setup was impressive. 317 Main Street really knows how to turn a simple movie night into a unique experience! I absolutely loved the concept and would definitely come back for another dine-in movie event. Highly recommend!

We had a few people over for a small get together and decided on the Chicken Cutlets & Mac & Cheese package as well as the BBQ package for dinner. The abundance of food from both packages was just so exciting. There were chicken cutlets, macaroni and cheese and caesar salad with croutons in the package deal. Says it feeds 4 people but with the amount of food given I would say 6. BBQ package included ribs, brisket, chicken, corn bread and coleslaw. You can order on the website or call the restaurant and present a time when you will pick up. We all just dove in and had a bit of everything and some went in for 3rds! It was just that flavorful. With all of our bellies full we still wanted dessert. We chose one package with oreo mousse cups and one package with fresh berry cups which contained blueberries, strawberries and blackberries. You get four cups of each but definitely it is enough for 6 people in my opinion. Everything was wrapped and sealed in trays and containers and neatly placed in the bag. I highly recommend these package deals for the price because you will have leftovers for a few days. Perfect for a hectic and stressful week that we call life. You can even take some to lunch as well. The food was fresh, plenty of flavor and did I mention leftovers!!! LOL

Francesco's is here If you want good selections of fresh made Italian pastry, cannoli, just baked cakes, bread, biscotti, and butter cookies. This is a friendly small town local shop with local people working. Stopped in seeing lights on, decorating being done inside and outside on the windows, baking in the back etc... and the most Gingerbread Houses ever seen, then realized they were being courteous when I asked if they were closing soon. It was well after and they were happy to pause from their busy pace going on and get me a few things to go. Nice Christmas cookies looked and tasted great.

And it wasn't a mistake because the cake said happy birthday on it. ( they fully are aware of what they did) We had an unfortunate incident Monday where my sister took my mother the birthday girl to the bakery in Massapequa to chose her cake and the staff lied to my mother and gave her a strawberry banana and chocolate cake. ( barf) They Just blatantly lied about having a specific cake and we didn't find out until after the cake candles were blown out and the cake was sliced open. How disappointing. Waste of money and unethical! Would you like like to be in this position? My mother was so disappointed and upset. On top of that the cake was HORRIBLE! What a scam!

The only redeeming thing about this place is that they are open later than any other bagel shops by…read morea couple hours. The main thing is ... these bagels are average. They taste and are the size of bagels you'd get at a Wegmans, or a supermarket. They don't have that very, very lightly crispness on the outside with a flurrier inside. These are dense and as you can see by my pictures, they don't get really thick like the better bagel stores. The price is also pretty crazy. 7 bagels and two containers of cream cheese was almost $40. That's just plain robbery, especially for an average, or below, bagel. I think the pre-packaged cream cheese was around ten bucks per 16 oz. and it tasted like store bought cream cheese with scallions mixed in. It didn't have that kind of sour punch that cream cheese from the city has. The staff was also really flat and seemed gruff. I am sure it was towards the end of their day ... but a little smile or even a 'thanks for your business' would have gone a long way. I def. won't be back here. Nothing beats a NYC bagel but there are places on Long Island that are almost as good. This is not. Even if the bagels were half the price, I likely wouldn't bother with the calories Being closer to the city, I would have expected better than Suffolk County bagels but honestly, Huntington and Hauppague have some real nice spots

I peruse everything on the display and the most expensive bottles were within eye sight level, i noticed Amarone and Barolo starting at $48 and up. Clearly, this was out of my budget, guy at cashier area recommended the $50 and above bottles, of course he said they were good. I asked if they had any wines under $20, he pointed to the floor and in the very bottom, i found single bottles of reds. It was more like one of kind samples of items not very popular. Among them, i noticed a bottle of Piemonte Barbera 2010. From what i read on the internet this is a wine that goes for $14 online. However at this store it was $15.99. The area where i found the wine, had a bunch of other wines but some had no prices. Walking up to cashier, he said the wine was $17.99. I told him that is not what the label stated. The floor sales person stated it had the wrong price on the shelf and he corrected the cashier. Cashier person did not like that and he kind of had an attitude. I was going to just walk away but it was a 2010 vintage, so i had to assume is a pretty good wine and it gives me a chance to try it while staying below my budget. The description on label reads 13% alcohol level, the wine has notes of dried black fruit, earthy spices, long finish on the palate with balanced acidity. I only walked into this store because i was next door at dollar city picking up junk food. The lack of customer service and the attitude from the cashier were extremely poor. While the sales person on the floor was a lot better. Most certainly I will not be coming back. My to go spot for wines in Joe Canals but that is jn NJ. Which explains why when i visit Joe Canals, i walk out with cases of wines to fill up my wine refrigerator and my credit card charge is anywhere from $175 to about $550 ( specially during the holidays) With that said, I hope the management of this store is aware of the terrible service the employees are providing and perhaps that is the reason why people do not come back to the store. If anyone is a wine fanatic, i recommend Leiser's jn flushing Queens. Very good customer service, excellent prices, great variety of wines from Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy and you can certainly find good wines for under $15 that are top contenders.

As new customers who recently moved to the area, we shopped at ShopRite in Bethpage twice, and…read moreunfortunately, both visits left us disappointed with the checkout experience. During our first visit on a Monday afternoon, the store was fairly busy. When we reached the checkout, the cashier offered no greeting, no communication, and rushed our order through the register. What surprised us most was that there was no assistance with bagging our groceries. Having worked in the supermarket industry myself, I found the lack of customer service and basic courtesy disappointing. We left the store confused about whether customers are expected to bag all of their own groceries, as no one explained the process. Because of that first experience, we assumed this was store policy and were prepared to bag everything ourselves during our second visit. This time, the cashier was somewhat friendlier and at least greeted us, but the checkout process felt very rushed. We had 43 items and were actively bagging our groceries while my wife completed payment. Before we had finished organizing and bagging our purchase, another customer was directed to the checkout lane behind us and began moving our items aside to make room. The customer appeared frustrated, and the situation made us feel rushed and uncomfortable. Once again, there was no assistance from the cashier and no explanation of how customers are expected to manage bagging while the next order is already being processed. What made the experience even more frustrating was observing several employees elsewhere in the store appearing to have free time while customers at the front end were struggling to keep up with the checkout process. If the store's policy is for customers to bag their own groceries, that should be clearly communicated. If it is not the policy, then additional assistance at checkout would greatly improve the customer experience. We understand that retail is challenging and that stores must operate efficiently. However, customer service, communication, and courtesy still matter. Based on our first two visits, the checkout experience felt impersonal, rushed, and unnecessarily stressful. We hope management will review the front-end operation and consider ways to make the checkout process more welcoming and customer-friendly for both new and returning customers.
