Base my reviews off what you pay: *Place was pretty empty, it was raining. Went at 5PM on a Saturday. Price - $130 (2 appetizers, 2 drinks, 2 beers, 1 shot, tip) Food - 2/5 - underwhelming but ok. Service - 3/5 - was on par and quick. Ambiance - 4/5 - nice vibe. Overall - 3/5 - ok spot. Food was a bit disappointing. Ordered Truffle Fries and Tuna Nachos. Truffle Fries were for sure not real truffle (guess that is expected for $12). Nachos were decent but tuna was an odd color. Drinks were pretty good, Sand City Blueberry Beer was really good. Service was fine, really no interaction, little stiff but was quick and on par. Inside was actually really nice. Definitely recently renovated and a cool vibe. Bar was a brass top. Overall ok spot, not worth going out of the way for. Best Dish - Sand City Blueberry Beer Would Return - Not Likely read more

Food was good. Wait staff was friendly, but slow. GM and hostesses were incredibly unfriendly. Will come back but hoping they tighten up as it gets busier in the summer! read more

Had dinner here with a friend and it was such a good time. The vibes were super chill right by the water, relaxed crowd, friendly staff. We started with oysters which were fresh and delicious. For our mains we had the lobster roll and the Skipper burger. Both were awesome, the lobster roll was buttery and packed, and the burger was juicy and super flavorful. Drinks were on point too. I had the sangria and a glass of Malbec, and my friend had the spicy watermelon margarita which was good it had a little kick to it. Ended with tiramisu, which was light and creamy, great way to finish the meal. Overall, solid spot for a laidback night out with good food, good drinks, and a nice view. Would definitely come back! read more

We stopped in and sat outside which was great as it was a beautiful evening. Northport is a great town for that. Service was good. Professional and friendly. My wife loved her vegetable panini however my swordfish was disappointedly dry. The sweet potato hash was good but a little bland. Cocktails were good but nothing special. This place has so much potential given its location but was disappointing tonight. read more

This food was really mediocre. I picked up my chicken burger and it smelled weird not just that but it fell apart. It crumbled just like the dust on the back of my bricks in my home. I'm very saddened by the taste of this. I thought it would taste good but it taste weird. It tastes like pickles and sour cream. I don't like it. Tzatziki is the main ingredient and that's probably why I didn't like it onto the fries. They were pretty good. I even took them home. It's all good catch up was really good although I tipped my frying one too far got too much ketchup, it tasted weird to catch a pee, but I did enjoy the lemonade which was pink. It tasted like fresh fresh lemon, and pink. I don't know how to describe pink as as a flavor, but it tasted pink. Lastly I had this pepper. Actually, it was a banana pepper it was very spicy I really enjoyed these peppers, but this one really got in the back of my throat. The flavor lasted for like 30 minutes, man. I despise this pepper if I could punch someone it would be this pepper. Anyway I'm going on a rampage. This was a mediocre meal. My friends seem to enjoy it, though one of my friends got the beef burger. He doesn't wanna explain it because he's shy, but I think he enjoyed it fairly. I think I'm not gonna come back here. It tasted too bad. My friend said he liked the burger, although I did not anyway I'd say come here if you wanna waste your money on mediocre food there's way better options in my opinion like restaurants across the street. I must say the service was very nice. Our waiter was phenomenal and they were very quick with our food like really quick like I blinked and then they were there all of a sudden. If you like my review, please leave a reaction. I try to be as honest as possible in my reviews and leave a little humor and literature in my reviews. Thank you. read more

Enjoyed a nice meal here on a busy Saturday night. I highly recommend the goat cheese filled ravioli, which you can tell or made fresh on the premises. The ravioli is served with black figs, pork cheek, and a delicate port wine sauce. Such an excellent curated dish. Although Allagash is featured on the menu, they do not have it in rotation. I tried instead a Blue Point Toasted lager which turned out to be quite a refreshing beer. It's nice inside, sound quality is great to hold a conversation. If you are new to Northport, plan on heading out a little bit earlier to secure a parking space. read more

The place looks nice, even thought it was crowded. Good service as well and the burger was big and tasty.

Really good spot. No complaints at all. We have been here a few times. Fish is fresh (raw included) and tasty.

Ok restaurant in Northport. Food isn't that good. Pancakes are awful fried and very very greasy. The breakfast burritos are small and overpriced. Service is excellent. Food took awhile but are waiter was great. The restaurant is open aired in Northport. It's super clean and decorated nicely. read more

Nice menu with unique choices but two of our party asked for a change to the way their entree would be prepared, which they said would be no problem. Both dishes came out without the change. Was it an oversite on wait staff or simply "yes them and see if they say something" ? Had they said no from the onset we would have simply chosen a different entree. They won this round but lost 5 future customers and that many exponential reviews by us. read more

We had dinner here on 4th of July and loved it! The host and our server were so very sweet and pleasant with our 2 young children. They have a great kids menu and have coloring pages for them as well. All the food was fantastic. Mussels, calamari, fra diavolo and the filet mignon were equally excellent. My son and I devoured the mussels. Their frosé was probably the best I've had (and it's my favorite drink). It is a very small dining area and the tables are very close together, which isn't ideal, but not a deal breaker. The bathroom is insanely small and very awkward. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back the next time we are in the area. read more

Atmosphere is nice, outdoor seating although we sat inside looked nice. Arrived around 4:20pm on a Wednesday and it was busy. Yes it is pricey but all restaurants in NY are and it seems they are all charging a credit card transaction fee. But the food was phenomenal, I ordered the blackened swordfish, nice sized and loads of lump crab accompanying over sweet potato and spinach. My son had a CHICKEN APRICOT HABAÑERO PANINI Sautéed Sage Infused Chicken, Apricot Habañero Mayo, Onions and Pepper Jack Cheese. He said it was very good. If your in the quaint little town of Northport try it. read more

Went here for the first time this weekend and I have to say they have the best Buffalo wings I have EVER had. They are perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Perfectly spicy but not too much - I really have not stopped thinking about them since we left. Our friends brought us over on a boat and I'm already trying to figure out when I can go back sans boat even though we live in CT. If the chef wants to share his tips and tricks with me I would greatly appreciate it. The crispiness level was 10/10 and as an avid wing maker myself I have never achieved this combo of crispy/tender. Highly recommend and would go back solely to experience these wings again. read more

Awful. Zero stars is not possible so I gave it one. Three very small pieces of fish in their Fish & Chips--- $37.00!! I ordered the house burger and the wrong one (more expensive) showed up with underdone rubber fat bacon and cold fries. The service was nearly absent and the table smelled of a dirty vinegar rag. The opening salvo of a salad was of course crazy expensive (22.00) and nothing special. In fact, crap. Insanely expensive and bad food will not bring me back. Never ever again. read more

LOBSTER BENEDICT WAS INCREDIBLÉ! I like a good brunch especially on Sundays after mass, this was the most filling and easy to eat eggs Benedict I've had. Usually I get Benedicts and this tops any regular AND lobster Benedict I've ever had. Truthfully haven't had a lobster one in a while so this was an extremely great suprise! The service was really very tentative and friendly. Highly recommend to visit skippers, get a coffee while your at it! read more

Skipper's is a pretty nice pub near the Northport waterfront. The location is its biggest draw, with a spot at the end of Main Street. When there's outdoor seating available, you can get a seat with great views of the harbor. The food is okay, but beware, you'll pay tourist prices for even the more simple dishes (think $25+ for entrees). We tried the oysters to start, then a few different mains, including fish tacos and a burger. Again, not too bad, but nothing especially noteworthy. We went at a peak hour (Friday evening when there was pleasant summer weather), and service was a challenge at times. Servers were all clearly slammed -- they were great when we were able to catch their attention, but don't expect things to move quickly during your meal. Overall I could see myself bringing friends from out of town here if I wanted to show them Northport village, but I don't feel any strong pull to go back myself. read more

Came here tonight for dinner. Last year we came to Northport and saw this place I was like next time we come let's go there! Skip ahead like a year later and here we came. Food was amazing. Service was great. Ambiance is amazing. My son was in his glory. It was a nice night out and we live like 30 mins away. What a cute area. read more

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The bodega tacos were amazing - fish was so fresh and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. They have an extensive kid menu even though it's not listed on the website and they also had crayons/paper for kiddos too. The vibe was super cute, service fast and food delightful! read more

Skippers - Bodega tacos! - New American Near Me - Northport, New York

Was here 2 years ago the food was decent. Went recently, and the food was awful. It had zero flavor, and was egregiously expensive. The fish and chips has zero flavor, the tartar sauce had zero flavor. $35 for what should at most be a $17 meal read more

The food was decent for the price, my friend loved her pasta dish, but my steak tacos were a bit chewy. I expected to be blown away given it was $26 for two tacos. The staff are very polite, and the interior is really nice. Only qualm is how slow the service was. My friend and I came around 3pm for an early dinner and were practically the only people in the restaurant. It took 45 minutes for us to receive our entrees and we were there for 2 hours total, and spent about 20 mins after eating to be given the bill. Other than that, we had a pleasant time. read more

We sat outside the ambience of the town and view was very nice. The service was good, our food came out quickly, but it did take a very long time to get another round of drinks-over 15 min. The French fries were bond and a not very crispy. I liked the Parmesan cream sauce it wasn't too heavy, but there weren't a ton of veggies in the pasta. The mango daiquiri was the drink special and that was perfect-summery and refreshing. read more

Nice view but the food is overpriced, small in portions, and lacking in flavor. There are definitely restaurants in the area that are more worth your money read more

So here is my dilemma. Service is ok. It's a Friday night. The servers are working hard. They are hustling so I will over course over tip. But service was slow. The food was good not great. I wanted my steak medium rare and it was medium at best. Closer to medium well. But it's not a steak house. The buffalo cauliflower was special. Really interesting and I enjoyed it. Presentation was great and the remodeled resturant was very nice. read more

Came here the other night for a date night with my significant other. Atmosphere was nice, and the establishment was clean. Service was mediocre, at best. For our main entrees we both got the wrong orders, and staff never apologized once for the holdup in our meals. However, the food was good and fresh tasting. Our favorite was the New England Clam Chowder. Would come back to try again but hoping the service is improved. For over $100 (with tip) for the two of us, I'd hope they'd at least say sorry for a simple mistake. read more

We went to skippers last night the lobster roll was 43.00 and it was a mayonnaise sandwich overpriced and bad food

Brunch today with my family. To start with we needed to provide a credit card to guarantee the table... ??? Anyhow 4 out of the 5 meals were way off. Pancakes for my son were like a sweet cake, fish-n-chip batter was soaked I old tasting oil and soggy and my wife ordered Maui maki fish taco which was the worst. The fish was NOT Mahi. It was a dark smelly fish. I'm not going to mention the overcooked poached eggs... The place looks nice, the server was nice but food was not very good at all. read more

Wish I could give it a 3.5 It was Saturday night and my party of 4 didn't have reservations, the wait was only 30 mins wait and we must've came in right before the dinner rush because 15 mins in of waiting the bar, it got crowded! It was full by the time we sat down. The ambiance was good and so was our food. I shared the swordfish (came with black rice which I had for the first time and was good I highly recommend) with my friend with lobster bisque and fries for the table, my other friends got chicken and skirt steak. We also had calamari for the table and ended it with apple pie! It was a bit pricey here though! But might be back in the warmer months. read more

Went here with my friends a few weeks ago for dinner on a Friday night after booking the same day, was very easy to get a reservation and we were seated instantly. The renovation really transformed Skipper's, and it's great if you're into the beachy aesthetic but I personally preferred the original interior (at least they kept the portholes!). The food was pretty good but unfortunately very overpriced. I got the chicken tzatziki burger, which was the cheapest thing I could find on the menu that wasn't an appetizer. It was a little too heavy on the onions for my liking, but I enjoyed the meal. read more

Hadn't been to Skippers as we don't live in the area but boy has it changed. Used to be a dive bar good for a drink not so much the food. They have completely changed everything. Updated the decor and got a much much better chef who evidently used to work at Nobu so you know his food must be great. I got the Harissa Butterflied Branzino because it sounded different from any fish we had seen and it sure was. Great very different spices but not overpowering at all. Fish cooked perfectly it did not disappoint. For an appetizer the skillet baked brie cheese was amazing. Our server was amazing I promised I wouldn't forget his name and of course I did, so I'm sorry about that. He explained the dishes and the spice level of the fish to perfection. He was very helpful and attentive and we will go back and get his name for sure soon. read more

Not bad but not great, really very basic food that has no uniqueness. The calamari is just sorta fried without any flavor, the fish is also just kinda cooked without much flare. Skip Skippers and have lunch at Shipwreck or Whale's Tale instead. Also is it multiple Skippers or are they forgetting the apostrophe in Skipper's? read more

Skippers South west corner on Main Street in Northport a few blocks down from Engeman theatre. NOT HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE - though sign is noted outside. Lots of qualms here. A tiny plastic ramp was placed on the entrance. It was not stable, secure or helpful. Hostess , 1 of 3, wouldn't let us sit at the only accessible tables stating that we didn't have reservations. Outside seating was directly in line of setting sun and too hot to sit there. Manager Tyler used his clout and moved us inside where there were plenty of available tables. Expensive cost for what we ordered but a filet mignon is the best cut. Have to go to the bathroom you are out of luck. Tiny narrow paths to a door to small to get thru with any kind of wheelchair or walker. Much thanks to all the people who came to our aid. Woman's room is also tiny and not accessible to change a tiny baby's diaper much less room for 1 or 2 people. Emergency exit steps down. So stressful, took time to unwind, tossed between leaving and just going home. Manager did share history of place and why curbs are all high. Seems floods from bay meet at the doorways. This old building was a bar in the 70s and bought out the meat store updating it in the 90s keeping with nautical theme. Service was slow and I got up a few times to ask for things like extra napkins, dessert menus and the check. When a next time comes up , we will cross the street and go to the accessible hotel to check out their restaurant. read more

Very expensive for what you get. I can't say it was bad, yet I can't say it was great. I think the problem with this place is that they want their cake and eat it too. They charge fine dining prices yet still want to be the local pub. It's a tough mix to balance. Don't get me wrong the food and service wasn't bad but when you are seeing $40 and $50 entres you're now in Blackstones and Prime territory and the quality and quantity just doesn't hold up. Yes. They have the real estate in northport village and the great spot. And years ago was a good spot for a burger. But for that price I'd go to salted, harbor house, or bistro 44 way before them. It seems to fill its niche of a last resort. read more

We stopped by here on a Sunday evening. It was great, everyone ordered was great, my 4 year old son ate his entire bowl of pasta and gVe it a two thumbs up. The service was amazing, very accommodating and fast. The ambiance was lively but perfect for family dinner, date night or even a fun girls night. You cant go wrong here! read more

Our first time here and most likely the last. The decor was nice and the bread was very good. The menu was limited and the waitress was not at all pleasant. The food was average, good presentation but pricey and nothing to write home about. I also thought the portions were small. The Monk Fish special was good served over spinach with gnocchi. Unfortunately the were only about 5 small gnocchi. The shirt steak was good but based on the size was, in my opinion extremely over price. Mind you this place has location going for it, but there are many other really good spots in the Village of Northport to dine without taking a bite out of your budget. read more

Ordered a burger medium (pretty standard) and it came out rare. Sent it back for another one but they gave me a well done hockey puck. Probably won't be eating here again. read more

Upon arrival, we were seated immediately. We choose to sit outside and enjoy the view. Despite the mediocre food and measly portions we had a good time sitting outside. The meals came out promptly, and the service was accommodating. But, the portions were just not enough. Nonetheless give these folks a try. read more

Another solid 4 for a restaurant in Northport. Why?! I'll tell you why. We arrived for our reservation and got seated in one of the booths with the porthole facing into the bar and I felt like we were tucked away in our own private little area yet again. So yay another cozy date night spot. We decided we would get: 2 Lobster Bisques - feeling extra and did not want to share with the fella. Also feeling bold because we never had it here before but figured it must be good because we are right next to the harbor. If they screw this up then something is SERIOUSLY wrong. Alas... they didn't screw up and they fulfilled the need. Also had a few nice pieces of lobster. We both sat happily like two little kids with our soup. Fried Calamari - we split - with a curry aioli. He could've totally skipped the aioli.. I couldn't have a lot of it but it was good. Chicory Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp - mine. I'll be honest I was so torn on what to eat as my main and it was alright. Shrimp were nicely grilled but dressing was a little too heavy on the anchovies. S'all good though. Skirt Steak with Chimichurri - something like that was his. He seemed to enjoy it except the roasted tomatoes with it. The tomatoes in my opinion were a little overdone. Will we be back? Yeah for sure. read more

Never again!!! Was going out w my husband for a nice dinner and it was not only a disappointment but total robbery. calamari was sub par, came with a weird sauce and when i asked for marinara they charged me $3 LOL. i ordered the pasta special which was supposed to be tortellini and when it came out there were 6 tortellinis, yes , 6 on my plate. my husband ordered cavetelli w crab meat , almost no sauce or crab meat no flavor was completely inedible. Please please save your money and eat else where theres so many better places to eat in Northport and the prices here are outrageous. NEVER AGAIN wish i could give zero stars !!!! read more
