Reuben, BLT with avocado, and onion rings
Julia S.

Been wanting to stop in here since moving to the North Fork - what an awesome time capsule! Popped in for lunch on a sunny Thursday and it did not disappoint. Reuben was delish and I had it with their great potato salad. My partner enjoyed his BLT with avocado and coleslaw. The onion rings were cooked perfectly. The milkshakes were such a treat and love getting the metal cup with the extra! Friendly staff, quick service, and fun atmosphere. Great spot on Main Street and can't wait to come back for breakfast.

There is no finer chocolate shake. One size is sort of medium. Homemade ice cream. Try the chocolate. They must add syrup because it's divine. Will run you $8 plus tip. Open until 2 or so most days call ahead. Nick the original proprietor is now gone after beginning this Riverhead downtown favorite but his family carries on with the same old fashioned luncheonette / homemade ice cream tradition.

Short stack, sausage, English muffin & eggs

Star confectionery is a great local spot. The owner Anthony I believe does most of the cooking himself, talk about quality control, lol! Some say breakfast is breakfast but I disagree they do it very well here and anyone who's had a doughy bad pancake knows what I'm talking about. I'm a big fan of the little sausages and I asked for a dark toasted English muffin and got it that way. I can't tell you all the times I get a soggy half toasted mess. Any way if you want to step back in time this is your place. Enjoy in good health.

Decent food, slow but friendly service. The restaurant has a nice local vibe and the menu has something for everyone. Avocado BLT, hot dog, & turkey sandwich all were good. I think the kids like the hot cocoa best though. Definitely a solid post-aquarium spot.

Anthony's best customers. Mark and Eric

Still the best breakfast or lunch in the North Fork. Tuna melt was tops. Pancakes were perfect and never, EVER get service without a friendly greeting from Anthony and staff. Thumbs up!

Blueberry Pancakes

What a cute little place! We loved the cute decor and the old times vibe. The soda fountain and the grill being out front let us see all the action. The tin ceilings and the tile floors added to the charm. We needed a hearty breakfast and we got what we needed. The blueberry pancakes were huge and fluffy and full of blueberries. The French toast was good. The omelet with bacon and cheddar was well cooked. The potatoes were just ok, a little dry, but it's ok because I was full after the omelet anyways. Coffee was fresh and refilled quickly. Service was friendly. The place was rather full so we did wait a bit but it's ok because we enjoyed relaxing and hanging out. Definitely will come back again when we are int h As a reminder - this place is cash only but there is an ATM inside.

This is one of those secret neighborhood gems that no one wants to get the word out. Star Confectionery is a quaint luncheonette that makes homemade ice cream, homemade lemonade, you get my vibe. Norman Rockwell would get inspiration from this luncheonette on Main St Riverhead. All this sounds great! The "Confectionery" of Star Confectionery, is why I'm here. For Years, I always swing by, too close to Easter to pick up a chocolate bunny for my wife. And every year I'm told, nope. your too late. Dang! Well, I stopped in April Fools Day to get a chocolate bunny for Easter 2019. Neighborhood people have been coming here for decades and have fond memories of Star Confectionery chocolate in their Easter Baskets. The proprietor makes these treats for because he knows it brings joy to his customers. And don't think your gonna rush in and bite off the bunny ears. The bunnies made here are SOLID milk chocolate! None of this hollow nonsense, they pour their homemade chocolate into a bunny mold made 50+ years ago. I grabbed two bunnies: One Milk Chocolate and One Dark Chocolate. The dark bunny, man.. I cut that sucka up the second we walked in the door to get chocolate wasted. Just some old school chocolate being made at Star Confectionery. If you want something different, buy a chocolate Bunny at Star Confectionery. They make a limited amount of bunnies, this is old school chocolate at its finest. A true Long Island gem.

Clueless, nasty, disorganized, takes forever to get anything. Time for a new owner.

Upscale American food at a beautiful riverfront spot. We got the Crab Cake and Lamb Chops off the…read moremain menu, and the Ciabatta Bread, Sea Scallops and Half Duck off the specials menu. The Crab Cake was a hefty portion and a delicious start to the meal. Spicy, tomatoey olive oil was great with the Ciabatta. Lamb Chops were cooked to medium and the blackberry fig sauce complemented it nicely. The Sea Scallop was a very solid dish overall, no complaints! The Duck portion was massive and succulent, although it was definitely an ordeal to extract all the meat. Initially they said it would be around a 45 min wait but the manager(?) came out and moved a few incoming parties around to accommodate us, awesome service. Thus, we were seated soon after arrival. Recommend for sure!

Our reservations were for 2:30 pm. I had my entire day planned based on these reservations…read more(vineyards etc) Get there at 2:25 pm and hostess said there is a 25 min wait. I told her I have reservations. She tells me EVERYBODY has reservations. Um ok no problem. So we wait. 25 min later still no table. We don't get our table till 3:10. We get seated. Waiter doesn't come to our table till 3:30 pm. Exactly one hour after our reservation time. At this point we don't even have time for apps. We order our drinks and main meal. Meals come out 25 mins later. I got the blt sandwich but there is no bacon on it. I didn't even say anything because I couldn't wait another 25 mins for a new sandwich. It's a beautiful place, food was good, but the wait between seating is, the waiter, and the food coming in was just not worth it.

This restaurant is amazing, the food is worth it…read more If I could, I would give 6 stars for how good this food is . The ribs are very good and the sides are even better! The lady at the counter was extremely nice especially when a family member got sick in the toilet. She was very attentive and asked what she could help. Thank you. The herb-crushed potatoes are to die for

This place is smoking no I mean they're actually smoking it's a barbecue joint and boy was I…read moreimpressed my first time there, unfortunately for me was absolutely amazing I say unfortunately because I haven't known about this place up to now I heard about this place through a friend and decided to go on a Saturday night before show in Riverhead unbelievable the food was off the chain delicious. When I first got there the parking is a little bit haphazard there's a small lot across the street if you're lucky enough to get a spot or possibly wait for one and there is some street parking but once you get parked and you get in there it's a quaint old school barbecue restaurant my only critique would be being my first time I didn't know the process I wish there was signs to Lead Me to where I order. There was no maderde at the stand by the door so when I walked in I wasnt sure where to go. They have a huge menu of food its very overwhelming but do not worry anything you pick will be good and worth it so work your way through that menu I realized that the inside tables were already full so we chose to sit outside, also a fun pla e to sit tables with umbrellas. You pay for your food inside at the bar and they give you a number and then you just wait around for them to bring you plates of unbelievable happiness all three of us ordered separately the wings were outstanding I ordered the brisket it was a sandwich with potatoes and beans unbelievable the coleslaw and mac and cheese also unbelievable please come and give this place a chance you will not be disappointed give yourself time to find a parking spot settle in at their outdoor or indoor tables and just relax and wait to be treated to amazing food my new regular stop I can't wait to introduce new people to this place one of the time watching their reactions as they take their first bite. They do all smoking on premises it looks like I'm very glad somebody recommended this to me and right now I'm recommending this to you give it a try this place is smoking
