Great local bar, really amazing food. Down to earth establishment. When I'm in Ronkonkoma, this is the bar I enjoy most. Music playing in the background at just the right volume that you can still have a conversation, plenty of parking. When you walk in they assist in helping find a place to sit. Very clean and comfortable. Our waitress provided menus and explained the house specials. For our choice this night we enjoyed a couple of Black and Tan beverages. For appetizers we shared buffalo wings. For our dinner, MJ enjoyed the Tuscan supreme chicken hero and I enjoyed the fish and chips. Definitely a place you come back to. read more

It's been a minute since I've written a review (okay maybe only a few weeks, but even so). For those interested, my abode location on this lengthy island has shifted from Nassau to Suffolk and so I find myself getting into new food spots and new...Shenanigans (did you see that coming?). This aptly-named little hole-in-the-wall spot was (takeout) dinner for my fiancée, her family, and yours truly about a week or so ago with pleasant results. Shenanigans definitely has that local feel. A kind of business that nobody outside of the area knows, but if you live around these parts, you've been here, had a meal here, or have some kind of story that involves here. I can't say I fall into any of these categories (yet) as the one meal we did have wasn't even in this divey yet welcoming location. I picked up the grub and got that combo of feelings from the booths and high top tables, little gaming screen machines, beer signs, and the whole bar (which takes up most of the space). While waiting, some Led Zeppelin and Hall & Oates played on the digital jukebox (good choices) and the employees were friendly and kept letting me know the food was almost ready (even though it took a little longer than we expected). Most of the customers seemed a little older, but I felt comfortable enough hanging out and could see myself stopping by for Happy Hour at some point down the line. Once the grub had been grabbed, I drove back to open our bounty and found some pretty tasty food. My build-your-own-burger with sautéed mushrooms and onions was solid and the interestingly-cut potato wedges were a perfect side (plus slaw and a pickle). My fiancée also enjoyed her burger and so did her parents. We shared some wings too which were put in a Jack Daniels BBQ sauce. Though they could've used an extra slather, the wings themselves were great. Not too shabby. Overall, I'll say my first experience of Shenanigans was honestly not filled with too much of that word. But hey, that's a good thing in some ways. Though I look forward to getting a chance to find myself in some...you know...here in the future. Glad to get a quality review back on the board at a nice little local spot in my new location. read more

We go here frequently, why? It's a nice cozy place to go to. They have been following covid guidelines and make sure you do too. Masks on, sanitizer on the tables, and signs everywhere. It's a small cozy bar and you won't be forgotten. They have different themed nights. Musingo is my personal favorites plus you get gifts too if you win!! Food is always good typical bar food- you can't go wrong. This time we tried their potato leek soup, pirogies, fried shrimp is always a go to, and flank steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables. You just can't go wrong. Always a favorite go to. read more

We had a our grandson's baptism celebration here on Sunday. The food was amazing. Many of our guests complimented on the food. Matt and Brian were amazing. They were very attentive to all of our guests. I will definitely have another function here. Thank you so much for making our day so special. read more

Local pub vibes with good food, nice regulars and staff. Been here dozens of times over the years and have never felt out of place. Quick draw. The French dip and buffalo wrap are my go-tos, but the burger and beer special is perfect for when I'm in the mood.... Oh and the fries are really good. Prices are very fair. Lunch specials are great, and that's my time of day to go out so this place is always an option for that for me. Keep being awesome! read more

So this is a restaurant with a full bar, that accepts credit cards as payment and had it's own parking lot. As you enter you'll notice that they have outdoor seating with a canopy, although they don't allow for smoking. The Bar Area is located in the center of the room with a U-shape to it and the kitchen is located behind it, towards the rear of the building. They offer an ATM, 4 Arcade Games such as Cards and Slots, multiple TV's, TouchTunes, and they play QuickDraw here. Occasionally they'll have live music playing and Trivia Night. There's separate restrooms for men and women. They have a fairly large and diverse menu of food to select from, but the kitchen closes at 9pm. The unique feature to this place is it's wall that are full of hand drawn cartoonish portraits. This place has a fun vibe about it and is worth checking out. read more

Not really impressed with this place. Heard it was a local hangout. The food is average pub food. Hardly any beers on tap with a basic selection. The bartender speaks so much she forgets about her job. She's nice but man work and talk not just talk. read more

Had lunch there for the first time and I will definitely go back. Food was good. Service was nice and the atmosphere was comfortable.

Had a good lunch and I may be back...however be careful if you pay with a DEBIT card, they still charged me a service fee of $1.81 when they shouldn't have. I cant stand this new era where businesses feel it to be prudent to pass the buck because they dont want to pay the CC companies for their services...I dont use a CC, I use a debit card and idgaf if it's a $1.81...its my money!! If I dont pay the extra 10 cents for gas using my debit card why are you charging me an extra 3%. You pass it on to me, I pass it on to your server, 17% vs 20%. The food was good, the tap beer okay...liked the place, just annoying that this is the way my 1st experience went. read more

I've lived in this town for almost 20 years but only walked in for the 1st time on Sunday. I was expecting a local hangout but was pleasantly surprised by the place. Standard pub decor and the like, the food was pretty good and the prices were fine. I'll be coming back. read more

Could use some updating. The wings were pretty good but we only stayed for 2 drinks. Older crowd but a good pub scene if that's what you want. Going for a better vibe that'll keep us there next time read more

Went back recently to see a friends band play, MUCH better vibe and the service was better...and the food was pretty good. Much better than before, I have to admit. read more

I went for the first time with my lifetime friend It was like walking into " Cheers" Very friendly casual vibe , had lots of laughs with some of the regulars The food is fresh and tasty the prices are reasonable and the bartenders make you feel right at home I've been back several times since then read more

Best wings hand down ! I order there anytime I am having company over or watching a football game

Love this place. Great food. Great service ..Best Bartenders ! Thursday night musical trivia is fun with an energetic crowd. Actually anytime we visit this bar we have fun ! Highly recommend this bar ! Make sure to say hi to our favorite bartenders Eva and Julie!! Tell them Ginger and Fred sent you lol ! read more

Food was okay and service was good. The crowd, however, consisted of many older people. That would have been fine if they were not all racists, with one gentleman saying the following (to patrons' agreement): "Them wetbacks are taking our jobs!" "I'm going to buy Confederate flags and put them all over my yard." "This country ain't free no more. Now you don't serve to gay people and you can get sued for a million bucks!" "He likes black people." "**** it I don't care anymore, I'll vote for Trump. He says things others are afraid to say." If you can stomach such a crowd or agree with them, many of whom appear to be regulars, then by all means eat and drink here. I'll have the next beer elsewhere. read more

Little hole in the wall joint with a friendly vibe. Mostly locals and an older crowd frequent this place. I've never eaten here, only had drinks. No cocktail menu or even "real" wine to choose from, but I understand it's not really that type of bar. Good for simple drinks and catching up with friends. read more

We just moved into the neighborhood and stopped by one day because it's the closest bar to us. It's small, but has a great atmosphere. Drinks are good and fairly priced. Food is amazing. read more

Small place and local crowd. Really didn't expect much and was very much surprised. The food was really excellent. The Reuben sandwich was fresh and delicious. The bratwurst was excellent quality. Cooked well with a nice snap and served with finely shredded sour kraut that was sautéed to be slightly crisp and warm. read more

First time there Friday night and had a great time with a few co workers. Love the fact that its a comfortable place to grab a burger and an ice cold beer without a real young crowd. Food came out in about 15 min and my burger that I ordered med rare was in fact a perfect med rare. Place was clean even with the place pretty busy. I'm going back again Friday. Cheers read more

Want a quick burger and a cold beer, this is the place. Went here after a long day of shoveling snow and was met with a friendly bartender. He took our order and served us drinks super fast. I'd say it falls into the hole in the wall bar category and I say that as a compliment. Go have a burger and a beer you'll be presently surprised. Super cheap too. read more

Love this restaurant and the service was EXCELLENT!! I didn't know what to expect when I first came here because bar food can usually be hit or miss but In this case it was a HOME RUN! I got the Reuben sandwich and it was out of this world and my husband got the steak and it was delicious cooked to perfection. The waitress Patty is phenomenal and I recommend asking for her if you go, she's there on Friday and Saturday nights. Patty takes care of us whenever we go there and really goes the extra mile and makes us feel like the restaurant appreciates our patronage. We also do take out once in a while, which is so convenient now that we have a little one at home. The wings, sandwiches and mozzarella sticks are outstanding too! Oh and the prices are decent too! 10 out of 10 read more

Went for the St Patrick's Day takeout dinner. 2 meals, $37 .00, $45 WITH TIP. Very dissapointed,,,Corned beef overdone, Cabbage (60 % of dish), undercooked and bland. Carrots tasted like they just went in the pot. Potatoes were perfectly cooked, more potatoes less cabbage would have been good. And the soda bread was delicious despite falling apart. For the 2 tiny pieces they gave u with it. read more

Never going back....bartender (male) tried to rip me off....I put a $100.00 dollar bill down and got change for a $ 20.00. Guilty as hell. I guess a $100 bill and a $20 looks the same.... read more

Was there this past Sunday to catch the games with some friends. Place was clean and cozy with plenty of TV's. Marge our bartender was friendly, engaging and very attentive. We had a group of 6, sat at the bar, ordered food and beers throughout the game. Service was excellent ! Never had to worry about ordering another round as she was right on top of it. Bar offers great specials all week long, I'll be back ! Hopefully my Jets will win next time. read more

This place is known for its cheap burgers and lunch specials, but who knew it had such a good looking menu overall? And seafood? Lobster Bisque, 1lb of snow crab legs ($10), mussels in red or white sauce($8), or for the landlubbers; Half Rack of Ribs($9) or 14oz NY strip with ff's, onion bands and slaw($15). A decent place, but a weak local crowd at night. Internet Jukebox with a preference for Queensryche, and Karaoke hosted by DJ Joey and "You Are The Star Entertainment." Darts. A wall of horrible caricatures of the regulars. A U-shaped bar puts the bartender in the spotlight, and you can get a good eyeful of whats going on across from you. Tall glasses of Spaten Octoberfest on draft. read more

Great pub atmosphere. Food portions huge. Staff very friendly and fun. Loud but that is what a bar is. I come here for lunch and dinner often. Try this place and I think you will agree it was worth it. read more

You will not believe the delicous food that is served with a smile at this small local pub. Great Service and food and clean as well. High on my list read more

Food was fantastic really enjoyed my Ruben with fried potatoes and the on tap beer is great too it gets very busy there the atmosphere is enjoyable it has more of an older crowed to it but they are still very friendly to the younger group of us I will be eating there again. read more

Its an O.K. Bar. Bartenders are a okay, DJ and Karaoke are fun, not much dancing room, but okay. Met some really nice people there. Won't eat there food any more. Eat before you go . read more

I live locally and I love this place for food. great atmosphere, I would highly recommend to any one for great food and place to hang out., Very clean well maintained and great service. thanks Maxine!! read more

My girlfriend and I were driving through the area and passed by this place and before entering, I searched Yelp and was motivated to visit based on its reviews. We were met by a very friendly woman who sat us in the back away from the bar area. When asked if we'd like a drink, I ordered two New Castles and to our surprise, they had cold ones ready to be served! A real nice start! We ordered two burgers and they were absolutely delicious! Far better than we expected. After we ate, we decided to watch some football and had a seat at the bar. Chuck the bartender served us our drinks and he was friendly, welcoming and extremely affable. I mentioned to him that we found Shenanigans on Yelp and he relayed this to the owner who was sitting across from us. The owner bought us a round of drinks and was also a very friendly person. Overall, this pub experience was very enjoyable. The entire staff was friendly, professional, accommodating and the pub atmosphere is casual, relaxing and fun. It is a great place to watch sports and has many high def large screen tv's throughout the place. If I was a local, Shenanigans would be my local hang out. read more

I don't know what I expected walking into this place. Outdated gross and never had a chance to experience the food (thank god) because after waiting 20 minutes at a table that we were seated at- without even having a drink order taken, we left. Would never go again. read more

Was there this week for dinner food was absolutely better than anticipated. Better than a restaurant food especially since it's a pub. The waitress Julie was friendly and informed me of all the specials they have which me and my husband both got . I can't believe we had a great dinner and drinks for such a great price. Definitely would recommend to go there for dinner and drinks you won't be disappointed. read more

I stopped going here. The owners changed a bit ago. The worst part is the wench of a waitress and her scowl face that cant get an order right...don't bother saying how you want your burger cooked cause after the eye roll you should just accept the you get what you get attitude. I got sick of getting the non-drummlet part of the wing when ordering wings. The tap beer tastes weird but is cold. It used to feel like a friendly neighborhood bar but they kept looking for themes to draw in more people. read more

Great place to relax after a long day or just go for a great lunch. Food is great and staff is friendly. Love this place.

called to speak with the owner and the lady that answered was so rude!!! she was extremely condescending and disrespectful. not sure if she herself was the owner or just an employee, but as a customer I was really taken aback and appalled. my grandparents have been going here forever but not anymore... read more
