Old Fields is an amazing little spot as well as a personal favorite. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. The space is quiet and cozy....fireplace included. Nice bar up front as well with a few tv's. The food menu on any night is a notch above anything in the area. On Sunday night, they serve a fried chicken dinner that is insane!! 3 huge peices of pan fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw and an awesome biscuit. I plan my entire day around this meal. I usually call in advance to make sure it's on the menu...and try to be there before 7 because they will sell out. This is the Holy Grail of fried chicken! read more

Had dinner on a Friday in May at Old Fields. We hadn't been to the restaurant in many years. What a great meal we both had. My fish and chips (I actually substituted mashed potatoes for the fries- super accommodating) was excellent. My husband had the pork chop special and is still talking about it. Seems like the place fills up with locals fast, so consider going a little early. read more

Went on a Sunday evening with my family. It's a "warmly" decorated place. The menu has some really decent looking items on it. They weren't super busy. Our waitress was very nice, and truly felt responsible for the events that were about to unfold, even though none of them were her fault. I ordered the duck French dip and requested no onions, with asparagus instead of fries. My bf ordered a well done burger, my dad a medium well burger, and my stepmom a rare burger. It took a fairly long time for food to come out- mine was extra loaded with onions, my bf and dads burgers were rare. My asparagus didn't come out, and my stepmoms onion rings were missing. We sent back the burgers and duck, and 20 mins later the waitress tells me they can't serve it without onions because they're cooked together- why they didn't say that over an hour ago when I ordered it ? I said ok, just bring it with as little onion as possible and I'll pick it off. 10 more mins my bf and dads burgers come back, onion rings finally come out, he bites into the burger, now it's medium rare. He gave up and loaded it with ketchup and ate it. My food was still nowhere to be found. Finally my asparagus comes out, and it's barely cooked..whatever I'm hungry and I eat it. Everyone is pretty much done and my duck finally comes out with scant onions, I pick off what's still on there, eat it and it's delicious. The waitress says she doesn't know what's happening, the kitchen is just having a really off night and apologized constantly. They offered a free dessert which we declined. The 2 stars is for the ambiance and the waitress.. I don't quite understand what was going on in the kitchen on a fairly slow Sunday evening that everything went so wrong. read more

Quality food. Great atmosphere. Local and famous. Limited menu, but that just means you can't go wrong. Great for a night with the wife or some buddies. read more

All i can say is WOW! Food was beyond incredible! We got the buttermilk popcorn chicken for an appetizer to go along w our Mezcal old fashioned and mango jalapeño margarita. Perfect first round! For dinner, hands down the best steak marinade i've ever had in my life. Also split a burger- which was also 10/10. Our waitress Meghan was exceptional- super attentive, friendly, and informative about menu options. If you haven't been here - GO. You will not be disappointed. read more

I had my husband grad party here. There were about 22 of us. Everything was great. We had the back room all to ourselves. The bartender, servers and manager were awesome. They were super fast and polite. The food was amazing, the brunch drinks were nice and strong. We also brought in our own cake. Will be back often. read more

Went last night. The prices are outrageous. My husband and I had two salads and appetizer. We had about two drinks each. With tip the bill was 232. We used to come here all the time. The bill was always a lot less. I know everything is more, but $19 for a glass of wine is outrageous. My husband's salad was almost $40, actually $39. Not sure what is going on, but we won't be back. This is a bar restaurant. It isn't upscale. Look elsewhere. read more

I chose this place because it had four stars on Yelp. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the service was good and we were seated in a timely manner. If there's one criticism it's that the dining room was noisy. I ordered the flat iron steak with grilled onions. It was cooked exactly how I liked it and tasted wonderful. The sides -- mashed potatoes and asparagus -- were also quite good. My dinner companion had the oysters as an appetizer and said they were also very good. Is Old Fields a destination you go out of your way to find? Probably not....but if you find yourself in Suffolk County it should be on your list. read more

It's decent food, but the prices make it seem like it's Peter Luger or something. I like both the Marinated Flat Iron and the Marinated Skirt Steak. I like the atmosphere, it's rustic and cozy. Service is good, just a bit expensive for what it is. read more

Nothing beats an in-person old fields experience! The food and staff are incredible. The portions are large and we usually always have leftovers to take home with us. We loved our meals this time around - especially the wedge salad ! For a party of 3 our entire dinner came to $170 which is a little pricier than what other restaurants in the area. But, definitely worth it. read more

We've been to Old Fields a couple of times. We probably would go more if they had a better beer selection. We almost didn't go tonight. The Lark and Jackson's were the other restaurants in the running. Both of those places have better beer lists. However, since we were close by, we decided to go to Old Fields. The food here is always solid. The burger I had tonight was outstanding. Probably the best burger you can get in the area. The burger was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The kids loved their burger and fries. We also enjoyed the calamari appetizer. The Manhattan clam chowder was so so. On the down side was the beer list. My wife and I couldn't decide what to drink. The only IPA on draft was Ballast Point. With so many great local breweries, why have a mediocre west coast brand? I don't understand that decision. The rest of the taps they had were ehhh. My wife went with the Sculpin and I went with a Prosecco. For whatever reason, both drinks were not that cold. We dealt with it. I'm sure we'll go back to Old Fields. But probably not anytime soon. read more

Really disappointed tonight. We ordered takeout. When you order from a steakhouse you expect steakhouse. Ordered the burger which was incredibly dry and served with shoestring fries, what steakhouse serves shoestring fries? Where were the steakhouse fries? The onion rings were like the frozen ones I buy at the store in the freezer section. The pickle was good but definitely not your quality pickle. Also ordered the fried chicken dinner. The chicken wasnt completely cooked, very greasy and had fatty pieces. read more

There are two bartenders named Ron and the Rons are awesome! The food is amazing, but they need to bring the Davey Gravy back! It's a hamburger served between two grilled cheese sandwiches and it's amazing! Their bacon appetizer is really good as is their oyster platter. read more

Did doordash delivery from here. Missing taco. (18$) No utensils. For a pricey place, you think they would give you some. Truffle fries have no truffle taste to it. And the worse is the fried chicken. Batter is flavorless and they over fried it, so it's dark and bitter... Overpriced and horrible food. Maybe they only serve the good food when you dine-in from the other reviews I read here. But if you want delivery, avoid this place. read more

Once again. we were heading back to NYC from out East and had an hour to kill before meeting friends for lunch in between. I looked up my old Yelp review to find this place, as I couldn't remember the name. It's been a long lock-down and I can't remember the last time I used Yelp, and it was good to get "reacquainted " with the app, as I relied so heavily on it. Shout out to Ron Bon Jovi, who made us feel safe from a health standpoint, and who displayed his talented bar tending skills. read more

Took the family for my birthday. We were 10 in all. The service was terrible and extremely slow. The food came out cold. The waitress constantly got lost. I would not recommend this place to anyone for the amount you pay versus the poor service you receive. read more

REVIEW IS FOR ELLA'S POP-UP: SUMMER 2020 My wife, daughter and I had dinner at Ella's last week. I don't think they take reservations, but there were plenty of picnic tables along the sidewalk. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. My daughter had a kid's cheeseburger and fries, which were surprisingly good. Definitely better than expected. My wife and I had tacos - hers Al Pastor, mine, the fish. Delish. I had a margarita, which were tasty, for the price (maybe about $10?) It was good to get out, and eat al fresco. I wish the dudes in pickups didn't hang out the window trying to catch wait staff for takeaway wings, it was distracting. Park yourself and walk over like an adult. We used to eat at Old Fields back in the day before they got the flat-screen TV's and cocktail menu. My understanding is that the marinated steaks are still very much a thing, and will be back after the summer. I want to come back and give them a whirl, see if they still got it. Five stars b/c aside from Huntington Village (crowded) and maybe Northport, I don't think anyone is doing anything like this, anywhere. And as for to-go cocktails, my experience from most places has been plastic cups, not flasks, so I don't know where Lori Ann is going. And besides - if you're getting a fancy flask for your cocktail, you're paying for it. I'd rather my money go more to booze and less to container, but that's just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

We were seated immediately early Saturday eve ( 2 of us ) .. back room which filled upas we waited and waited for our food to be served.. even our kind waiter realized it was a ridiculous amount of wait time. Finally arrived. Burger was good. My husband's fish n chips nothing to write home about. Finished our meal and what joined us in our booth running up the wall but a roach! Got me sick! Stopped in LadiesRoom.. toilets backed up .. nauseating! Complained on the way out! NEVER TO RETURN! read more

This is an old place with dark paneling, a fire place and dark wood tables and booths. They marinate steak, have a somewhat watery lobster bisque and great tiramisu. The service is super helpful and all were really nice. This is a great old place to try for a quiet cold day for lunch or dinner. read more

I travel often for work and recently found myself on Long Island with a serious consideration: to drive roughly 3 hours round-trip to dine in the city, or to stay local. I can now say without reservation that my decision to dine at the nearby Old Fields was the greatest success of this most recent visit to NY. The entire staff is friendly and helps each other, from the front door to the management. As their guest, this created a spectacular experience from start to finish. The servers are extremely knowledgable but approachable. The atmosphere is on point and the food was delicious. Shortly after ordering, the manager delivered a complimentary portion of French Onion soup - the stock used as a base was beyond words. All while listening to some of my favorite classic rock jams. The only constructive criticism I have is for the chef: If it isn't helping your menu, it's not helping your reputation for incredible food. And most aspects of everything I ordered WERE incredible. Specifically, I noticed the following... Bleu cheese on the mixed greens was not moist/aromatic enough to add to the dish. Asparagus was slightly over-cooked I had a steak marinaded in signature 1956 that was heavily in need of salt. All of this to say: if you're on Long Island, make the drive. If you're in NYC, make the drive. It will be well worth your while. Thanks, all! read more

This review is for their summer 2020 outdoor pop up: Ella's. They need a better way of packaging cocktails for takeout. Most places are doing flasks or some kind of bottle with a screw top. They did a plastic-wrapped plastic cup. While the plastic prevented it from spilling on the car, it did come home a mess from spillage into the plastic wrap. Drinks were good, but not as good as what we've had in the restaurant. Guacamole was good and smooth, but quite a bit more acidic than I would have liked. Tortilla chips were tasty. The sticky fingers special--kind of like pizza rolls with n'djua and a blue cheese dip--were quite yummy. Would love to see those stay on the menu. The summer melon salad is quite delicious. Nice, ripe, sweet, and juicy honeydew and cantaloupe, fried provolone, prosciutto, pesto, and some shaved cheese. Really beautiful combo. We tried "The Blueprint" pizza. It was truly excellent, but came loaded with red pepper flakes (which weren't listed on the menu.) I can't do spicy, so while I appreciate that the pizza is objectively delicious, I couldn't eat it. We also tried the Dark Side of the Moon pizza--duck and Brie. I really enjoyed that. It's nice on the wood-fired crust--it gives it a really nice toasty element. Quite good. Overall we're pretty impressed with the pop-up, and will look forward to getting food again from there this summer. read more

Awesome burger! One of the best I've had in a long time. "The 56 Burger" so good! Even the cole slaw that comes with it is great! French onion soup also one of the better ones I have had. I will definitely be coming back. read more

to start i want to thank the excellent service from our waitress taylor normally i only write bad reviews but all i could say is good things about my dinner tonight fish and chips , and the skirt steak were amazing would highly suggest going here. thanks for everything! read more

Classic spot for a good burger or brunch item. Really fun place to go with friends - small groups or larger groups. They can accommodate a fairly large group. Wait times are worth sticking out. French onion soup is one of my favorites. Burgers knock it out of the park every time. Bloody Marys come with sassy additions other than the classic celery stalk. Decent beers on tap, quality cocktails, nice wine selection. I have really never had a mediocre experience here except the last time I came with about 10 people for brunch for a friends birthday. Brunch options include no sweet items like pancakes or waffles...not even chicken and waffles. That was kind of a bummer for my fiance. I had an OK BLT that brunch. Every other time we visit it's been a homerun of a meal, no question. It's one of my fiance's favorite places to go for delicious and perfectly made steaks with his guy friends. If not for that last experience, It'd be a 5-star. It will certainly not keep me from going back many times, and I can't wait to try their new BBQ spot in Huntington. read more

Consistently outstanding food, drink, and service since they first opened over 10 years ago. This is easily the best restaurant in Greenlawn. I have dined here over 40 times since its opening, and I have never once been even slightly disappointed with anything I have ordered off of the menu. Sometimes depending on where you sit, the dining area can get extremely loud, but that is a testament to how popular this place is. If you don't like this restaurant, you don't have good taste in dining. Simple as that. read more

The restaurant has been a Greenlawn staple since the 1950s. The steaks are well prepared especially if you like a marinated skirt steak. Portions are generous and the service is well above average. Not pretentious but comfortable casual. Very good bar. Brunch is crowded on Sundays. The fireplace is very inviting on colder days. read more

Went to Oldfields with a party of 4 - no reservation and only waited about 15 mins for a table. Once we were seated, it took a little while for our server to come to us, and because of that we got a complimentary appetizer which was super nice. The spinach and artichoke dip was awesome and their menu has many different options. I personally had the veggie burger which was good and the sweet potato fries were delicious. We ended the night with chocolate martinis which were delicious. It is a little pricey, but 100% worth the price!!! read more

Get food, atmosphere and service. Quaint location, good prices and can be dressed down or dressed up. LOVE the fireplaces in the winter, I wish their windows opened to the street in the summers. I frequent often because it's all around great. read more

This is a really sweet spot! The service is always good and bartenders are excellent with drinks! They seasonally have an excellent roast duck meal (not the duck sandwich-they could do without)! Otherwise any of their steaks and entrees are excellent I highly recommend. The menu does tend to change from time to time so your favorites move around. read more

Always a great meal. Love the burgers and the flat iron steak. Service is excellent and the range of cocktails is great too.

A well established older pub style restaurant away from more popular food destinations like Rockville Center or Huntington. This well known Greenlawn establishment just didn't do anything that 20 other similar places are doing, I immediately thought of Canterbury Ales, George Martins and a slew of other places that are just as good. Portions are on the smallish side and flavors were ok but nothing I couldn't get elsewhere. They aren't bad, they are just typical and that's disappointing for a foodie like me seeking out new flavors and twists on American cuisine. read more

I really wanted to give this place more stars because sometimes the food is good (not all the time- sometimes it is cold). I have to say that service or the hosts are very unfriendly and rude. Placing the order, I got a lot of attitude because I had questions about the menu. When I got to the restaurant to pick up, the food was ready but when I asked to add something to my order (ie giving them more business), I encountered more ofattitude and just generally rude service. Them telling me that I would have to wait now because there were other pick up orders ahead of me(making the rest of my food cold while I waited). I think friendly service is a significant pre-requisite of restaurant ownership. I got home and opened my food - "braised short rib chili". The entree size which was $20. There were two tiny pieces of meat in there (see pic). It was more of a minestrone soup than chili. Just awful and disrespectful. Not worth the dollar. read more
