    wifey and I come to this diner often. The food is always fresh and prepared perfectly.I tried the chili cheeseburger special one the best burgers I ever had in a diner. wifey had a Swiss cheese burger and loved every bite. the people working here from the owner on down make you feel right at home. they also have a huge dining area for large parties with a nice size bar.

    Hubby and I come here often that's how good the food is here and the variety is vast from seafood to turf. This visit i had a cheese burger with Swiss cheese and onions. This was the best burger I've had at a diner, it was grilled to perfection. I am known to never finish my food, but I did this time. Hubby had a chili burger.

    Yeah that's the seat.

    They showed us to our seat and instead of showing us another booth or better yet wiping out our seat from the crumbs the hostess just swatted some of the crumbs and put our menu down. please see pic of what she thought was okay. Food was standard diner food, it was good and the portions big. Cleanliness not so much!

    My lunch club meets at the Nautilus every Saturday, and loves it! Everything about the Nautilus is excellent! The staff, the food, and the ambiance. It's open 365 days. Portions are huge, the staff is great!! I can't say enough about it!

    Wonderful diner, service was very fast, even for dinner, our server was very kind and got us drinks and all super fast. Chicken kebab was very good and went along great with the chicken noodle soup, that was all great, but the onion bread was something else, very very tasty, the diner itself was very nice, interior was modern but still had the cozy diner vibe, overall great experience!

    Came here with a big crowd after a funeral. They gave us a big table. The staff were attentive and very kind. The inside is modern, yet comfortable. We all had different food items and everyone enjoyed what they had. The portions are huge. The menu is extremely massive. A must try if in the area.

    Dried out Philly cheesesteak
    JB E.

    Didn't want a burger so ordered a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. I would have to see this is one of the worse if not the worst cheesesteak sandwich I ever had. It is extremely dry and bland, tasteless. I am pretty much a regular here but this food today bombed out. Why do the servers like to hangout in the kitchen instead of serving customers? Can't get a refill in a soda and waiting 15 minutes before I can ask for my check

    French Dip Paninis
    Amelia S.

    Giant menu with everything you can imagine, including some Greek dishes. Side dishes like coleslaw, potato salad (oddly, the potato salad has shredded carrots in it) and tzatziki left much to be desired. The pastrami Ruben was good. I love that they offer gluten free bread. Chicken souvlaki was ok. The Greek salad was simply iceberg lettuce with tomato, red bell peppers, onion, olives, and feta. Hummus was VERY chunky and thick. Not much tahini flavor either. French Dip panini was decent as well. Fries were very tasty - crispy and seasoned nicely. Service was friendly albeit a bit slow. Overall a decent spot to go if you're looking for a wide variety of dishes.

    Greek omelette
    Dave P.

    Diner on the east end of Massapequa on Merrick Road. It's been at least twenty years since I ate here. Menu is extensive with most standard diner far: all sorts of breakfasts, sandwiches, burgers and salads. I had the Greek omelette with toast and hash browns. The omelette was nice and fluffy and quite large. A huge amount if has browns which had mixed veggies. Good. My gf had the thanksgiving giving wrap which had Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce. She liked her meal too Service was quick and friendly. She stopped by the right amount of times.

It's nice to go to someplace new to me. It was hard to find parking because of all the snow from the 3rd snowstorm that is still not clearing the streets and sidewalks. Hubby dropped me off and found one. It's a kitchy looking place with many TVs and multiple levels. The door to the place looks like an English phone booth with 2 dialup phones in the entryway. Our waiter Joe was very nice. The girl who sat us gave us our menus right away. I had to wait for hubby to park, but I had time to look over the menu. All the choices sounded good. Hubby wound up with a Spinach Benedict with Roasted Tomatoes with nicely Crispy fries and a lemon Benedict sauce to die for. I got a Avocado Toast with Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onions on whole grain toast. The Arugula salad that was also on the plate was covered lightly with a lemony dressing. I added Cholula Sauce and it was so good. Another point I'd like to make is that the bottles of hot sauces were clean with no cruddy tops. That turns me off so good for them. I would definitely go back.

It was basically a deconstructed sandwich. Good flavor overall - could've used a little more pesto, but the mozzarella tasted fresh and was soft. Service was not the best, but I'll still go back when in the area.

The tavern was decorated for Halloween. It looked great! Our waitress, Kenzie, was super. She was so friendly, attentive, funny and very informative. I asked about an IPA and she said the Bronx IPA was the one to have. I asked if I could try one, she brought me a sample. It was excellent, so I ordered a pint. We talked and enjoyed each other's company. There was no rush, which we all appreciated. The girls said the bathrooms were spotless and very clean. We all ordered their famous French Onion Soup Hamburger with melted Swiss cheese, tomato, lettuce, and red onions topped with their special sauce (French onion soup). The hamburger was delicious cooked to perfection, and the French fries were hot and tasty. My wife loves this restaurant! She said, "This was the best hamburger I have ever had! They were really good! No kidding. We all decided on dessert, so we all had the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was so delicious! Wow! Great culinary experience, great food and great service and a very enjoyable time with my family and friends. If you're near Massapequa Park, the Dark Horse Tavern is a must. Enjoy your family and friends every chance you get. Safe travels and stay healthy. See you soon. All the best to you and your families! Happy Halloween!

    Visit Date: May 25, 2022…read more I came here to see VHS perform. My boyfriend is a drummer with VHS and I catch as many of his gigs that I possibly can. My son was with his dad that night so we loaded up his drums in my car after I got out of work got to prohibition and set up for the show. The food we had was pretty good. We got a half pepperoni, half cheese half sized pizza and mozzarella sticks. The venue itself is a little bit smaller for live music. But when the weather is good they have a window with barrel tables and seats so you can sit outside to hear the musicians play. I was alternating between being outside and inside. My boyfriend's mom who I love came to the gig as well so I was spending time with her outside and time inside dancing and checking out the band. The bar is pretty big and they have one more area after you pass the bathrooms with some tables for hanging out. I liked the feel of prohibition besides the space being somewhat small and the food was good. I can't say anything about the alcohol although I'm guessing except for specialty cocktails it's probably the same as anywhere else. I've been sober for over 2 years now so if I'm at a bar it's for music and food.
