Mac n cheese bites

I've come to Rudi's a few times. My friend Dave G does Karaoke here on a Thursday night it's currently his latest Thursday night gig. I don't really make the drive too often because I get out of work late and even though I drive far, Patchougue can be a bit much from my job, but I have come a few times. It's an awesome place. They run specials on the food for the time I'm there on a Thursday night and specials are always a good thing. The service is pretty quick. The bartenders are very nice to me always refilling my seltzer pretty fast. It's also a fun atmosphere and karaoke here is great! It's a fairly nice place to hang out.

I ordered a well done cheese burger and received a burger that was still ice cold inside

Full rack of ribs, fries, Rudi's Lager.

Rudi's Bar and Grill continues to be one of my favorite places to go for a beer, meal, and to see a game. There are food and drink specials every day. Happy Hour specials are also very good with drink specials. I tried the new Shrimp and scallop wrap. It is very good. The French fries are seasoned and nice and crisp, and worth the extra calories. The Caesar salad is very good, coming with plenty of olives, tomatoes, cheese, peppers, it is not just a plate of lettuce. The chicken wing orders are very good with Sunday having a 75 cent / wing special. There are twenty different sauces to choose from, so it would be very difficult not to find a sauce to your liking. There is no bad seating, with televisions and sports on in virtually every direction. I have previously had the beef hamburgers and the two types of chicken burgers. All are very good and well prepared. Just pick whatever appeals to you, and you will not be disappointed. A burger and beer special is available during the day, 11AM to 5PM, on Monday through Saturday. The selection of beers, including a rotating selection of craft beers from a variety of New York State and some out of state breweries as well as local breweries makes good reason for returning. Just ask to see the beer menu. Service is best at the bar with the bartender often also tending to the tables. Any delays that may cause is simply alleviated by planning ahead and ordering ahead or everything at once to avoid delays. Enjoy an afternoon or night out.

Apparently making a reservation is the smarter way to go so that you can hear your game announcers too. Our waitress was super nice but never refilled the waters. The ladies room was a bit of a wreck and they'd only been open an hour or so when I went in. It's kid friendly too, a lot of families watching the games so this can be a plus or minus depending on your situation. Prices are reasonable. All comfort food. They ran out of the lighter white sangria early on as well. No one was rushing anyone out. Will likely return for another game.

We had lunch on Labor Day at Arooga's on Main Street in Patchogue and it was such a great choice…read more Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and we scored a window table with perfect lighting. The menu is huge, tons of food, cocktails, and drinks to choose from. We started with the soft pretzel (a hit even with my picky husband, it practically melts in your mouth), sliders, and the Big Mac fries topped with buffalo chicken and mac and cheese. All incredible. The wings are the star here, an amazing selection of sauces. We tried five, including mango habanero and sweet chili, ordered well done with sauce on the side so the kids could customize theirs. We also got the black Angus burger cooked medium rare, cooked perfectly, plus chicken tenders for the kids. Save room for dessert, the ice cream cookie pizza, Reese's peanut butter pie, and funnel cake fries were all fantastic. And the arcade in the back was the perfect bonus, we won a couple of ducks and had a blast. Great vibe, generous portions, and something for everyone whether it's a girls' night or a family outing. Highly recommend, and parking nearby in Patchogue was easy too.

I had to go to the UPS store (avoided rude unpleasant character in Shirley), and saw Howard's Cafe. Looked it up here, seemed great. Went in, and greeted by really NICE people! And they have GLUTEN-FREE rolls! Caryn came to seat me and take my order. She was the BEST! She didn't know if the turkey burgers had breadcrumbs, so I went with the grilled chicken. I also decided that I deserved bacon, so got the Mary, Mary topping--bacon, mushrooms, and sautéed onions. Entrees come with a salad, which arrived in a bowl topped by another bowl, with two things of dressing and croutons on the side. Caryn didn't think that I could have the croutons, and she was right. The salad was iceberg lettuce, which I hadn't had in YEARS, lol, with tomato and red onion. And a shaker of BAC-O's!! Oh my. Hadn't had those in 30 years. Very salty, which explains why. There was a choice of skinny fries (boo), steak fries, or sweet potato fries. I got the steak fries, which were wedges. Yum! The grilled chicken was yummy and generous, the bun was TOASTED (yay), and the toppings piled high. So good! A tad dry, but Caryn brought me some mayo. I forgot to order cheese. Ack. This is a nice place, with a bar filled with convivial locals, a cheerful bartender, and the marvelous Caryn. There are booths and tables. The iced tea came with two slices of lemon! I was SHOCKED when I got the bill. SHOCKED. It was $20.06 for a LOT of food and an iced tea! I took half the sandwich home because I couldn't finish it. I did finish all the salad--and Caryn asked if I would like more (declined)--and all the fries. Astonishing. What a great value!! That seems so rare these days. I had looked at the menus of a couple of other nearby places. Very glad that I chose this one. Sad that it's not near me, but I'll be back.

Also, it was over 13 years ago when we asked the guy that played the guitar at their bar to play at our wedding. Now we are getting takeout here to celebrate our anniversary and I couldn't ask for a better meal. My visits to Tap Room locations usually involved their burger wrap. But this time I went with their steak sandwich and it was everything. I'm still dreaming about it. Snacking on a side of fries on our way home was the perfect ending to the day as they have amazing fresh French fries and I'm not a fry person. Also their version of burger sauce is pretty in point. I hope the place is as it was when I used to hang there. A quick in and out didn't allow me to assess but I would be down to grab a bit here when in the area.

Food: 2/5 - food was not as good as the last time. Pretzel bun sliders last time were significantly better, also messed up the cook on them (ordered well done, received medium). Had the Tuscan Panini and was 80% bread with a thin chicken cutlet. Very disappointing food this time around. Fries were definitely frozen with some seasoning sprinkled on top. Service: 2/5 - for a place being pretty much empty, you would've expected things to be quick. Not sure if short on staff but took us nearly 40min to get our food. Two couples received their meals before us after seating after us. Honestly did not have great vibes at all. Ambiance: 2/5 - inside itself was fine, cool things hung up and sports bar vibe but just felt lifeless inside. Hard to describe but you can feel it. Overall: 1/5 - despite the 2s, just can't help but give it a 1. Was fine the first time, definitely not returning back after second time. Not to mention tried to get into this place one other time besides the first time but there was nobody to seat us so we just walked in and walked right out. There are plenty of other spots in Patch, skip this one. Best Dish - None Would Return - No

When in search of a place that would make my family of picky eaters happy (ie: a vegan, a…read morevegetarian, a traditionalist, and two that try to make the other three happy but like good food), WhiskeyNeat appeared like a gods-send on Yelp. I've been to Main Street Patchogue a few times before and I'm always amazed at how it's now like Huntington, with tons of eateries, bars and places to hear live music. It was a busy late Spring Friday night and my cousin told me if we were there just two weeks later (ie, post Memorial Day), there would have been lines to get in anywhere. So make resos! I made one easily earlier that day and when we arrived around 7:30, it was not packed, but it is pretty loud in there even half full. Our waiter, Jonathan, expertly took such great care of us from start to finish, even taking my father's dad jokes in stride. There's a solid cocktail menu, but I had a couple glasses of a better-than-decent prosecco. My cousin loved his espresso martini. For food, count on a couple respectable vegan entrees and I went with the Japanese eggplant with cashew ricotta. The eggplant is delicious, slightly sweet with a creamy rather than chewy (thank god) texture. The cashew ricotta is also tasty, but I do think it needed to be blended a bit more to remove the slightly grainy texture (the cashews might have needed more soaking). My father loved his French onion soup and pastrami sandwich. Separate paragraph for the fries. They deserve it. I'm glad we ordered these to share- it's an enormous platter of them. I appreciated that they were salted perfectly. I appreciate restaurants that can make satisfy a variety of preferences and dietary restrictions. The vibe here is festive and vibrant and a great choice for groups and families.
