Finally tried Rockwell's bar and grill tonight. Local spot and was packed on a Saturday night. The owner/manager was super friendly and accommodating and the southwest egg rolls were fresh and delicious. Those are all of the positives. Onto the negatives.... The waitress was absolutely horrific. It took 25-30 minutes for her to even realize we were there. You'd think after that mistake she'd be more attentive.... Nope. The table next to us was also getting a little irritated. I ordered the special spicy rigatoni and chicken cutlet. The sauce was very good and mildly spicy but the chicken was tough and not good. Actually tasted old. My husband had the skirt steak and said it was a bit fatty and just OK. Ordered a second margarita but it never came... they didn't charge for it but still annoying. It was pretty busy in there but by the time we left it emptied out. They charge 4% fee if you use a credit card which I found a bit steep compared to other establishments. All in all, I'd try them again for just drinks and apps and maybe check out the bar area. The outside looks super nice to enjoy weather depending. They open at 10am and happy hour is 10am-5pm.

It is Sunday, and what better way to spend it than hanging out with friends at a local pub to catch the NFL game? The place I chose was Rockwell's Bar & Grill, a spot that offers the classic Long Island bar and grill vibe, friendly, casual, and lively, perfect for watching sports. While it is not exactly right around the corner, it was conveniently on my way back home after a day out on the eastern Long Island fork. Rockwell's atmosphere really hits the mark; it is the kind of place where you feel at ease, surrounded by sports fans and the buzz of the game. They also have a daily Happy Hour with 2-for-1 deals on draft beers, wine, and house mixed drinks, which works for me. The menu is full of classic American comfort food, burgers, crispy wings, and their popular steak sandwich. They also serve appetizers, salads, and a variety of entrees to satisfy different cravings. For our meal, we ordered the chicken and shrimp fajitas--they were delicious. Our server was outstanding, attentive, and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. Plus, he kept us updated on the game and other sports highlights, which is a rarity these days. One thing to note, though, is their satellite dish program. We could not get some of the games we wanted to watch that were not on the usual local channels, so the selection was a bit limited. Still, the overall experience was fantastic way to unwind and enjoy Sunday football with good food, drinks, and company.

Rockwell's is your classic Long Island bar and grill. Great for watching sports and chowing down with the boys. Staff and service is top notch. Lovely personalities filled with tender love and care. It was Black Friday and not too packed at 2:30pm. I can hear my cousins discuss NFL sports betting. What a wonderful afternoon. They won their bets! My Philly cheesesteak hero paired with the Sierra Nevada Hazy IPAs were to live for! All-in-all gotta give this joint a solid 4-star in my books. It's a wrap. Put a bow on it.

This place is such a fun and positive atmosphere. The food is delicious but I'd come back just to support these people. It's so inviting and the people (workers and loyal customers) make it feel like home. This didn't even feel like Long Island. People were so supportive and made it their mission to make you feel like you belonged. Not sure I was at a restaurant or a support group. I met the very personable owner, Tom sr., his lovely "best friend" (his wife Donna), very personable and handsome young son Tom who was bartending, Cesar the friendly busser, Shannon the sweetest waitress and Joann the lovely hostess. This family owned business is an example of what we need in this world. When Joann (a loyal customer) lost her husband in 2020, Tom offered her a hostess position to get her out of the house and start living again. She told me how grateful and how amazing it is to work for the family. The love between Tom and Donna radiates a contagious positive energy throughout the room. Come to Rockwell's to lift your spirits

Side salad

Think saloon instead of pub. Definitely a country western vibe going on, with songs like All My Exes Live in Texas and artists like Hank Williams Jr playing. Full size bar with separate dining room. Comfortable seating. My husband ordered the starter portion of Texas Baby Back Ribs. Generous portion and with an added cup of soup it made a meal. I tasted these and immediately wished I had ordered them. Nice and tender, dry rubbed, topped with sautéed onions that made it a perfect dish which I would recommend and order again. I had the flat iron steak which was cooked perfectly to requested rare but unfortunately came out cold. Meat and green beans both cold. Waitress was so professional in handling it, apologized profusely and had another plate made PDQ. The wait staff were very polite and prompt, much better than you tend to expect in - well, a saloon. I was also pleased that there were low carb options to substitute for potatoes. My side salad had great fresh mixed greens and julienned carrots but the tomato and cucumber were a bit overly refrigerated for my liking. Overall good and would return, especially for those ribs.

Rockwell's a worth a shot depending on what your looking for. This spot has a large bar area and has a decent size dining area. The restaurant is kinda a best of both worlds if your looking to have a fews apps and drinks at the bar watching the game, or looking to just have dinner. The menu gives just enough options that anyone should be able to find something. The steak sandwich was a good pick; meat cooked just as ordered and seasoned well. Also ordered the spring salad, and 20 wings. The salad came as described, and was fresh. I was slightly disappointed by the wings though. Definitely not as meaty as compared to other local spots, however was sauced nicely. A drawback I want to add is the noise level. It can get very loud in there and something you may want to consider is that you may have to almost yell across the table to have a conversation. It also can be too noisy for kids from my experience. Overall, it's worth a try, and nice to support local businesses. I give this place a solid 3.5 stars, and would consider going back!

Walking in, it is a long corridor yet very spacious, clean, and vibrant in personality. I ordered a Tex Mex bowl while she ordered a Fall Fest bowl. Each bowl came with brown rice, chicken as protein, and an assortment of toppings. We really enjoyed our salads as the portion were amazing, and the presentation of the salad bowls were on point. The staff who prepared the salad was very gracious and asked us whether we like the salad to be mixed, and how we like our dressings, etc. It's all the little touches that made us felt special as customers. I am glad that there are plenty of other choices to try, such as make your own salad, burrito, etc. Speaking of clean, the bathroom was immaculate and it goes to all these touches that make a place stand out. We will definitely be back.

They have different bowl options for you to make yourself with different proteins & toppings (see photos). While I haven't taken the opportunity to dine in yet I have tried a few of the frozen meal options which I'll review below: -Spicy Buffalo Wrap: 4/5 -Crispy Buffalo Wrap: 3.5/5 -Soho Steak Bowl:3.5/5 -Chicken & Jalapeño Quesadilla:4/5 -Spicy Chicken Flat/Wrap:3/5 I haven't been super impressed with any of the take away meals, BUT they are super convenient and seem to be relatively healthy. There's a large variety of things to try which is nice and they all have nutritional value and ingredients on the labels. The only thing I'll mention is that the heating instructions are the same for everything we've gotten so far and 2minutes on a wrap is much different than 2 minutes on a steak bowl. One of the wraps basically turned to a mushy mess. Overall I'm happy with the variety and convenience of getting meals here for a fair price. If they were more than $10 each I'd probably hesitate a bit but for what you're paying I think it's a good value.

I was in the mood for a salad and this place popped up in my search results…read more I parked on the busy street and upon getting out of the car, there was an empty six pack of beer bottles on the curb. Not their fault, but definitely a nod to that strip of somewhat vacant storefronts next door. Upon entering, I was greeted with a smile by the woman behind the counter. There was no paper menu to read quietly on my own. I had to watch her use a remote to change the screens on the TV. She answered any questions I had but I found it a bit uncomfortable that she had to say "let me know when you're ready to see the next screen" in order to see the next page of menu items. The food... I did a create your own and it included 5 items and I added chicken and a few other "fresh ingredients". This was by far, not my favorite salad. The beets were crunchy strips. The broccoli was shredded crumbs. The lettuce had brown spots on it. The quinoa was cold and hard. The feta was good. The kalamata olives were good. The chicken was horrible. I'm used to a whole piece of grilled chicken, warm, juicy and cut up on my salads. This was a big container of chicken shredded up into small dued out bits. Everything was tossed for me and the somewhat creamy balsamic dressing was too briny. Thank goodness it was on the side. When I got home, I added my own avacado, tomatoes and dressing. It was dinner time. If you're going to serve this kind of food, it should be fresh all of the time or don't stay open that late, only to serve the last of what was put out in the morning. I gave one star for the kindness of the woman and one star for the idea. I want to support small business but $20 for a less than mediocre salad bowl is not worth returning.

From the moment we walked in, the beautiful, upscale ambience set the stage for a wonderful evening, complete with white tablecloths that give it a refined feel. It's the perfect versatile spot--we saw many families dining together, but it would also be amazing for a date night or a fun evening out with friends. They also have a full bar with seating if you prefer a more casual drink or bite. Now for the food: it was absolutely delicious! I love that they offer both individual servings and family-style options where they serve you right at the table. The penne alla vodka was phenomenal, and the chicken parm tasted incredibly fresh. What truly made the night special, though, was the incredible service. Our server, Farris, was extremely attentive, kind, and on top of everything throughout our meal. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was exceptionally nice and constantly checked in to make sure we were completely taken care of. I had such a lovely night here.

"What. The. HELL"…read more *Manager/Owners, I don't want to hear your BS. I gave La Famiglia in Babylon a 5 star review with a party of 10 people. Look at my picture of that undercooked pork chop. My High School Friends all decide to meet for dinner. The summer flew by and we haven't seen each other in a while. We all decided on La Famiglia in Smithtown. The reservation is made for six and we're good to go. I arrived early, I know my buddy would be there early as well. We walk in on Saturday night and the place is slammed! From the bar to the every table, the restaurant is running on all cylinders. I buy a round of drinks while we're waiting for our table. Once seated, we're all catching up and I'm reading the menu. We ask if the Hot antipasto will be enough for six people, the waiter gives the thumbs up as the order was placed. First Course: Hot Antipasto Look at my picture, it's a huge portion of shrimp, calamari, baked clams, stuffed mushrooms, eggplant rollatini and mussels. Everything was going well until we started eating raw mussels. Both my buddy and I had raw mussels. We called the waiter over and showed him the raw mussels. Now the ladies are like: the entire platter is contaminated! The waiter said its fine and he'd take it off the bill. The waiter explained the kitchen is slammed because of the very busy restaurant. The plate wasn't removed from the bill, it was just a reduction in price. My wife's entree: Eggplant Parmesan Epic fail. The eggplant was sliced thin and stacked. Then, loaded up with cheese and sauce. Since the eggplant wasn't fried or seasoned, it was a flavorless stack of mush. My entree: Pork Chop Martini Special I had this dish before at a popular Long Island restaurant. I like the cherry peppers, it gives the pork a nice addition of heat. What was brought to me was a huge portion. I know the chef pounded the pork thinner but it still was a very large portion for one. Look at my picture, once I bought the remaining portion home, the pork was undercooked by the bone. I know the restaurant was crowded on a Saturday night. People seem to love this spot. Why the chefs in Babylon made us a great meal for 10 people but not in Smithtown?? La Famiglia means The Family. This isn't my family, this must be my in laws..

They told me they would not compensate for any of the medical bills that I have incurred.
