Portobello Eggplant Panini
Andrea F.

Looking for a quick bite in West Babylon, we stopped in here. Nothing necessarily special or outstanding per se, but nothing bad either. Food was solid and good. Nice portions served up with good service in a nice diner atmosphere. Very convenient location wise as it is right off Sunrise Highway.

Avocado toast
Christina C.

Let's start with the ONE pro---child menu eggs were decently priced and a good portion size. Cons-The avocado toast was supposed to be made on ciabatta bread- it came out like this and I just accepted it (my own fault). Took one bite and . The absolute worst avocado toast I've ever had in my life. The avocado was definitely some old pre-made guacamole they got out of a tub... tasted like plastic. It was ice cold. When I gave it back to the waitress when we were ready for the bill, I told her it was cold and terrible, so I didn't want it wrapped. I was told avocado toast is never hot. Well, isn't toast hot? Or at least warm? Bread was mushy like Wonder bread. She seemed annoyed that I didn't eat it. I never asked for it to be taken off the bill.. I should've known better not to order anything. Ambience was normal like a diner... somewhat dingy. It seemed like some shady people hanging around outside in the parking lot. I will not be returning and I highly suggest you find another place to enjoy a meal.

This place is a local gem. I have been coming here for a couple years and have nothing but great things to say about the food and people, especially Achilles. If you're in the area I highly recommend you check it out!

Consistent food, service, and atmosphere keep me coming here at least 3 times a week for my go to bacon cheeseburgers, pancakes, grilled cheese, or French dip. If you're looking for a great diner this is the place.

Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the food takes far longer than expected.

The waitstaff often seems disorganized, and communication regarding delays is lacking. I understand restaurants get busy, but after multiple visits, the same problems keep occurring. The food is decent, but not enough to make up for the long waits and repeated service issues. After giving this restaurant several opportunities, I don't see myself return

She did an outstanding job waiting on 14 people without missing a beat. Love this place not sure why there's bad reviews. If you are not into the unique experience just don't go. I hope to see this family continue to be successful and prosper.

Hospitality: -- the friendly, generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or…read morestrangers, creating a welcoming, comfortable, and safe environment, making others feel valued and at home. This brings us to The James, managed by Joe Giannino under the fat-cat "Standard Hospitality Group," owned by Andrew Affa & Steve Squirtiro. It's hard owning a business and keeping it profitable but not when it's an almost algorithmic formula driven money extraction system so commonly found today. It's more difficult dining out in the world today when it feels like hospitality is vacating. Vining more about high-revenue than humanity. By very definition, I wouldn't call a good portion of the hospitality industry hospitality at all, and I certainly wouldn't say the James offers any. What I love about food is what it does for the soul, & what I've always loved about providing and caring for people is the sense of community; connection during good times and difficult ones alike; That's hospitality to me. Breaking bread is one of the most fundamental human gestures of generosity and true wealth. When you have it, you share it not squander it, not hoard it or treat it like it's something to take from others and line your pockets with. That's why this experience disappointed me so much, because I believe with the myriad of options, we must be far more selective and far more supportive of local and smaller family run establishments. Today, for a table they would still fill and never notice, I tried to cancel a reservation out of respect -- respect for the staff, for other guests, and for my damn self. Being charged a cancellation fee when a mom is sick on Mothers Day, is not hospitality, it is not empathy. It is greed disguised as brand experience self worth. I have supported the Arlo from this same restaurant group in the past and probably would have happily returned too, based on the menu alone, but coldhearted, rigid policies like this change how a place feels. There are many family-run restaurants that understand flexibility and empathy. That kind of environment matters to me, and this experience will forever make me decide to support those places instead. I've recently learned to name positive outcomes when something negative arises, so I believe this time, it's great that it only cost me fifty bucks to never give this group another dime. Typical corporate hospitality is more what the James can offer. These types of COMPANIES feed themselves, not the community.

The Brixton is a beautiful restaurant with very relaxed and casual vibes. The word around town is that their drinks are awesome. What about their food, though? They originally would not seat us in the middle of the afternoon because most of the empty tables were reserved. We had to request to sit outside, which was empty, before they decided to serve us. Odd that they did not even offer that to us. The General Tso' Cauliflower was the only great thing served to us. It is incredibly crispy and flavorful. You almost forgot that you were eating a piece of vegetable at times. The Short Rib Brisket Sesame burger was shocking. $18 for two White Castles-sized sliders. It was easily consumed, and I was left much to be desired. This is most definitely an appetizer item, not an entree. The Chicken Waffle was good. Nicely deep-fried and packs a lot of flavor. The waffle looked dubious. If I had to guess, it might not be mad fresh to order. Essentially, it's 3 drumsticks/wings over a possibly frozen Eggo waffle. I would recommend a second dish if you are looking to get full. The Steak frites and Eggs Benedict were the final dishes served. It is hard to mess these dishes up, but the ribeye was nicely seasoned and cut up. The dishes were nicely displayed. Overall, this is just an OK experience. When the deep-fried cauliflower appetizer is the most memorable dish here, it is quite alarming. Portion sizes are on the small end, and none of the flavors for the entrees really stuck out. Perhaps I will come here strictly for the drinks next time.

To eat, we split a bunch of items - I'd love to see some more vegetarian items on the menu, but the absolute must order dish is the Lemon Pesto Pasta - I was quite shocked at how flavorful it was! We also tried the Italian Nachos (minus the meat - interesting flavor profile), the Zucchini Blossoms (good but needs sauce) and the Kung Pao Pierogis which were the only things I was not a fan of - just a bit bland. Dessert was my favorite part: the Reese's Pie and Rainbow Cookie Tartufo were absolutely delicious!

I ordered a chicken salad of some kind with avocado and salad. My son ordered the mac and cheese - it was the highlight of dinner! Absolutely delicious. His friend got the Thai calamari which was decent until he got to the bottom. It was soaked in seasoning and too sweet. My daughter got the buttered pasta - children's portion. I'll let the photo speak for itself. It was drenched in butter. On the bright side - service was great, most of the meals were excellent, waffle fries on point. I mentioned the pasta and showed our server the pool of butter. He took it off our bill without even asking. So ... 4 stars - 5 stars for local business service and just lost the one star for the less than stellar meal and app. Will probably be back!
