    GGS Pork
    Meri L.

    Came here with a dear friend to catch up and have a bite to eat. Service was atrocious. It took a very long time for someone to come over to us to take our order after we sat down. We started with some apps. Wednesday is bogo on apps. When we went to order drinks our waiter told us they were out of Pinot Grigio. We ordered our apps; spinach dip and everything pretzel. While we were in the middle of eating, our waiter said he was leaving and someone else would be taking care of us. Okay, no big deal..we came in the middle of the lunch/dinner turnover. Well...nobody ever came and we wanted to order meatballs after we finished our apps. I saw a server at another table and called him over. We told him we wanted to order some more food. He asked if we closed out our check. We told him no and explained that our waiter had left for the day. He told us there was miscommunication. What?! Anyway, we ordered our meatballs and they came out within 5 minutes. On to the food... The spinach dip was good. It came with crisp bread. Flavors were on point. Giant pretzel was good too. It came with 3 different dips...queso, mustard and scallion cream cheese. I ordered GGS pork meat balls and my friend ordered the classic meatballs. The pork meatballs had great flavor...there was a slight kick but not overwhelming. My friend enjoyed the classic meatballs. Food was tasty, but service was terrible.

    Food is pricy and just Meh. Nice looking place and got seated immediately on a Saturday night, it wasn't really busy in there but we were disappointed in the food.

    Lobster sliders (minus one cause I ate it)

    Walked around Patchogue and ended up here as we knew the place and was a long time since we last were here. My husband and I made the perfect choice! We shared the Lobby Pot Skins which looked different, he had the Classic and I had the Lobster Sliders. It was all delicious. It also wasn't too crowded as we got there at a decent hour, which was nice. Our waitress was excellent, very attentive and checked on us to make sure if we wanted anything or not. The ambiance was perfect not too bright or too dark. I would definitely come back again.

    Scampi Wings

    Food is very good, some hidden gems like the scampi wings people seem to miss. Reasonable prices. Employees are nice, engaging, definitely a place to be a regular at. Friday and Saturday night, it's the place to be for socializing.

    Crispy Burrata

    We went on a Saturday around 5pm, no wait and we were seated immediately. They sat us in the back room which was nicely decorated and tables spaced well. We ordered the Crispy Burrata which was absolutely delicious, fried perfectly and the pesto underneath takes it over the top. We also ordered the chopped cheese, lobster roll sliders, and the sampler of the day. For dessert we had the peanut butter cup explosion thingy. Everything was exceptional. Will definitely return to try everything else.

    Good vibe, good drinks, good for. Coming for year. Try the weekend brunch. And bottomless drink.

    There's TOM in the background - he's so awesome!

    So we found ourselves in Patchogue on a Sunday afternoon in early spring ... we walked a bit on the main street area looking for a spot to hang out, have a beer or two and maybe grab a bite. That Meetball Place caught our eye -- and who doesn't love a MEATBALL, right?! Well we had such a great time and made the right pick - highly recommend to others. Thanks to our great bartender - funny, personable, attentive & great.... and SHOUT OUT to Chef TOM FAZIO - you're the best. We couldn't figure out what to order - Tom says, "I got this" - and it did not disappoint. Awesome selections and we all enjoyed. We will be back - thanks again.

    Place was a nice atmosphere. Went on Sunday and was the only place on the strip open before 1130 with no wait so we just happened to check it out. Food was pretty good. Service was great. They played the football game. Didn't try the drinks unfortunately but the entire vibe was nice.

    Bottomless mimosas that were truly bottomless.
    Joseph C.

    My wife and I stopped in here for Sunday brunch, not knowing what to expect. It wasn't packed when we got there, but we took our time and enjoyed the bottomless mimosas, so by the time we left it got pretty packed out. Good ambience, extremely attentive staff. Our server, Kayla was great. She made sure our mimosas were topped off and was attentive the whole time despite the influx of diners. The executive chef, Tom, also stopped by our table to see how everything was, and offered us a shot after we complemented the service. It's the little gestures that go a long way. The food was very good. I had the Hangover Potatoes and my wife had the Frittata. My only critique is the poached eggs that came with my potatoes were slightly overcooked, but it was good nonetheless. I'd recommend this spot for brunch that's easy on the wallet.

    See all

Off…read morethe get go, customer service was great and offered a coat check free of charge for my jacket and umbrella since it was raining, definitely helped make it feel just a touch more upscale than your usual restaurant. Our wait staff was nothing but kind and patient with our moderately large party and checked up on us without being overbearing. Ambiance is very cool, and definitely leans into its classic and nostalgic feel of its name, but not in a campy way. If you bring a date here, they would be impressed by the nice tile and wooden features alone, but it's the food that is really going to blow them away, but we will get to that next. The menu and cocktails do rotate seasonally a bit, so your experience may vary on availability for some items, but if you come back often enough (and spoiler, you will want to), you'll see them comeback! We started with Caesar salad, calamari, and Korean fried wings with the easy standout being the fried wings, a bit spicy but delicious but buyer beware they are messy (don't worry though, they give you moist towelettes to clean yourself off), calamari was cooked exactly how it needed to be and not rubbery, and the Caesar salad was as good as I've had it anywhere (although there's was made with tahini, giving it a little sesame flair). For mains, we had a pesto pasta, steak frites with an au poivre sauce, with sides of jersey asparagus and mashed potatoes. Steak was cooked just right and I'd dip almost anything in that sauce, and the pesto pasta was a nice lighter and herby balance to the meal. Fries were perfectly crisp shoestring style and the other end of the potato spectrum was the delightfully smooth mashed potatoes and gravy. Asparagus has always been my favorite green, and adding a cream sauce with bacon only makes this version of it that much more enticing. Capping off with dessert, we had the chocolate Basque cheesecake, a brown sugar pie, and a pistachio cake. Choosing a favorite out of these is like choosing a favorite child I'm sure, but I am still craving more of that cheesecake, RUN do not walk to get that at the very least. Parking can be crazy in patchogue, there is a small attached lot and some street parking, but I'd advise using one of the municipal lots nearby and walking a little bit for your own sanity. One of my favorite dining experiences in patchogue to date, and will be happy to comeback here to try more of the menu for any occasion!

I've come here a couple times, mostly for happy hour since they have great specials on drinks and food during that time (a Sunday happy hour?? sign me up)! There's a rotating list of cocktails as well as the staples. Last time I got a potato chip martini of sorts, because why not, and it was actually super tasty! Brunch is also a good time to come with a limited menu so you're not overwhelmed with a little of everything on it. I tried the salmon caesear salad which was light with a nice dressing. We also tried the pancakes which were fluffy and delicious, as well as the steak and eggs (can't go wrong). Bottomless mimosas are also offered for $25 additional. I can't wait to do lunch/dinner here in the future.

On top of that, my damn car decided to up and die, so I've been bleeding money on Ubers just to get to and from work. I even had to go into work on my day off just to sit around waiting for the tow truck so they could junk it. Love that for me. After I handled business with the junkers, I said eff it and headed to Whiskey Neat. I was starving--no breakfast, running on fumes--and since my job's in Patchogue, I figured I'd finally try them for lunch. First of all... happy hour on a Saturday from 12-6?! Uhhh hello?? In my Angelina from Jersey Shore voice. And if you pay cash, you get the discount. Say less. They've got a fabulous small plates menu. I started with the French onion soup--ooey gooey mozzarella, cheese pull was undefeated. Soup was delicious too. I haven't had French onion in ages and it really hit. Then I had the pulled pork slider, which was really good, but BABY... those short rib croquettes? To. Die. For. I also had to get my classic deviled eggs. A little heavy-handed on the paprika, but still solid. Drinks were half off, so of course I indulged. Started with an espresso martini because I needed something to jumpstart my day. Then I had a French martini because duh--I'm a French girl ‍. That one was good. Finished with my classic cosmo. Not gonna lie, I've had better, but it did what it needed to do and helped me forget my troubles for a couple hours. Also great playlist of music. I got there and they were playing Ska. Love me some Reel Big Fish and No Doubt. Mixed with some Motown and Bob Marley. Made me remember the good old days.

Bartender is a true professional, mixing cocktails that are imaginative and delicious. Lee's Black Manhattan was superb, a mix of Rittenhouse Rye & Amaro Averna, just so different and delicious, served up. After a difficult time trying to decide, I went with the Corpse Reviver No. 2 which is a delightful mix of London Dry Gin, Lillet Blank, lemon, Cointreau & absinthe rinse. It tasted like a light, fine lemon drop. We had already eaten but the menus all looked like they were filled with great options. We will create an UYE here..possibly even for a weekend day soon. They offer a very palatable HH and it would be great to return with a group of Yelpers soon.

My 3 star review is based on our overall experience over the years. If I was basing my review on this one visit alone, I would not even give it three stars. The ambience and service here are very good. Chachama is located in a non-descript strip of stores. The restaurant however is pleasant surprise . Classy , elegant and upscale. When you enter you are surprised because the interior is not what you based on the location and exterior. We started out with a few cocktails. I had an old-fashioned, which was quite good. My wife had a glass of Pinot Grigio. A very slim pour but she enjoyed the wine. For appetizers I had the butter nut squash soup. Good, not great. Somewhat Lacking in flavor but overall well done. My wife had the pumpkin ravioli. Again, good but not as flavorful as expected. For dinner I had the rigatoni. Similar theme to the appetizers. The presentation is beautiful. Definitely an adequate dish, but nothing to write home about. My wife had the black Angus braised short rib. It was terrible. Extremely fatty and virtually inedible. This was pointed out to our server. His response was "I will tell the chef". For dessert we both had the chocolate cake. Pretty tasty but an extremely small portion. I'm not sure if the quality of our dinner was due to the fact that it was restaurant week. If it was, that is not acceptable. I don't believe restaurant week should result in lesser quality and smaller portions. I believe you should receive the same quality and portion size you would any other day of the week. If this is the tactic they are using. It does not fly with me. After our most recent visit, I won't say we wouldn't return, however it has lost some luster.

The service was impeccable--our waiter was friendly, and really made us feel taken care of. But, as much as I wanted to keep coming back, the food just didn't live up to the expectations that the beautiful setting and upscale prices would suggest. I had high hopes, but some of the skepticism after reading other reviews which was unfortunately spot on: the food here is incredibly underwhelming for the price. Appetizers: Clams Casino: For $18, I was expecting a little more than six tiny clams, each one was rubbery, overcooked, and lacked any of the depth of flavor. Cajun Seared Tuna: I love a good tuna, and this one came close to being a standout. The sear was fine, and the temperature was just shy of medium, but the wasabi and teriyaki drizzle felt lazy. I've had better. Entrees: Mahi Mahi: Broiled, not seared, it wasn't terrible. The fish was a little on the dry side, but the overall flavor was decent, especially with the grilled pineapple topping. Still, for what it cost, I expected a more flavorful and tender piece of fish. Halibut (Dinner Special): This was really disappointing. Halibut is such a beautiful fish, delicate and buttery, but what I was served was far from it. The fish was overcooked, and the accompanying risotto was undercooked--nothing like the creamy, perfectly al dente risotto you'd expect at a restaurant of this caliber. It was bland, dry, and sorely lacking in seasoning. I had to add so much salt and pepper. Two mixed drinks, two beers, the two entrees, and two Apps added up to well over $200 (with tip). You're paying for the ambiance here, which is undeniably great, but the food just doesn't justify the cost. Despite the beautiful setting and excellent service, I'm not sure I'd be returning. Unless bad night for the cooks? Drift 82 has potential, but for now, it's more of a "look but don't touch" kind of place for me.
