Drinks and food good. Service great! Nice place to stop in after work or for a nice dinner

Food was good but the service was horrible. There was maybe 4 tables with people when we ate here and our waitress was frantic and confused and running around like she had 50 tables to manage. The waitress messed up our check twice and argued with us when she charged us for something that was wrong. It's a shame because I loved the vibe and the food was good for what it was. I won't be returning. read more

Wish I could give it five. Drinks were great, hamburger was mediocre. We go there regularly and every so often the place disappoints. Felt a little rushed when it's known we come to see the music (which was wonderful) and we clearly annoyed the waitress. We always take care of the staff and don't take advantage if it's not crowded. It was not busy at all last night. We make sure we order things to make it worth the while of the restaurant and we introduce it to new people. I just feel like that at least deserves not be rushed. Most of the staff is amazing, but the waitress really wanted to close out her section. She even told us she wanted to go home if we could pay the bill, gave us the bill and then proceeded to disappear. My husband hates leaving cash on the table and tried to flag her down when he saw her and she ignored him and went in the back. It upset him to leave the money but we had to. She was in a rush. read more

Have been coming to the Third rail bar for years when living in Bellmore. They are well known for their burgers. Monday night is half off burger night. For a local bar they put out one of the better burgers. I highly recommend the Peter Luger Burger. They also have a huge selection of tap beers and if your an IPA fan you'll for sure find something you like read more

I came in to get a burger on a Thursday at 6:30. The place isn't crowded at all, and I had 45 min tops. I was seated promptly, and then after waiting almost 20 min not a single person has come to take a drink or food order. I'm literally sitting here writing this watching everyone get service beside me, staring at the bartender and the "host" who's just standing there a couple feet away. I'm walking out. This is nonsense. I can't waste my time if they won't even acknowledge me. Damn, it looked half decent too. Won't come back, clearly it's locals only. read more

20% gratuity automatically added to parties greater than 4 and written nowhere Had an underwhelming dish. The manager came over asked what was wrong with it. Listened to my answer and then proceeded to walk away without saying anything . It's a shame because the burger was incredible and possibly the best fries I've ever had. They hand cut them in the back. Will probably give them another shot. read more

Such an under rated place. Reasons why you should stop in if you haven't in a while: - They have not jacked up their prices - I can guarantee this is "eating" (lol) into their bottom line. You can still enjoy wings here, and they are as good as always. - Great family place, easy place to bring your parents or kids alike. - There's a hopping bar scene, lots on tap, inventive drinks, if that's your thing - Servers hustle. Kelly was on point. - Burger burger burgers - out of this world. No need to complicate them - a house blend with tasty meat. I'm not sure if they blend daily in the back, but I wouldn't be surprised. read more

Came out here to handle some things at Harley/Triumph so we decided to grab a bite somewhere close. We came upon this bar. It was nice because it wasn't packed. It was still early afternoon so there were ample seats to dine in. We ordered: - mild bone-in wings - sesame chicken bites: bite sized, lightly fried, and tossed in Thai chili sauce - 3rd rail tidbits Steak: smothered in mozzarella on a toasted garlic hero. Served with french fries and bbq dipping sauce. All the food was AMAZING. Going into a bar, I wasn't expecting much. I was surprised at how good the food was! Next time I'm around, I'll be sure to stop by and try other things on the menu read more

Stopped in at 6 pm tonight (Sunday). Someone guy was busy counting $ at the register, never acknowledged us. Bartender on her cell phone, never acknowledged us. Waited about 10 minutes, left and went to Willie McBrides. Served immediately! Friendly waitstaff! read more

Great wings and beer options, they were very welcoming of our little one. We will definitely be coming back.

Burgers are off the chart. Loved the Peter Lugar burger. Cooked perfectly. Baked clams are the only ones I have found that resemble mine. They were not full of bread. So flavorful. Great selection of cocktails and trending beer selection. Best thing about our experience was the customer service, gratitude, smile, of Kaitlin! She was warm and welcoming! The atmosphere could be a little more cozy. Maybe some comfy chairs at the empty space on the left as you walk in. All in all. Will be back! read more

Went here the other day with a friend. Very typical bar/pub. It was early in the week, and the place was not packed, but there were patrons there. Our waitress was overwhelmed because she was the only one working, so the service was a little off and slow. We kind of felt bad. We got the Reuben Eggrolls, Pulled Pork Nachos, and a Chicken Caesar salad. The Eggrolls were really good. The nachos were okay. They didn't have any nacho cheese sauce, and the shredded cheese wasn't melted enough. The pulled pork was delicious. The salad didn't have any chicken on it, but we ate it anyway. It was good. They had no beer list, just a list of signature cocktails. If I wanted beer, I had to ask or go up to the bar and look. There were tv's with different sports games on which was good. Overall, I would go back, but maybe on a different night. read more

Came for karaoke night, for which they advertise a $3 domestic draft beer special. Well either they didn't alert the bartenders to this pricing alteration, or Coors Light has moved to a bottling plant outside of the U.S. Not cool guys. But oh well, I still like the food and the karaoke is a good thing to have. 7/22/18 Mets vs. Yankees turned out to be a rainout, but I couldn't deny myself some yummy sports bar eating. I skipped the popcorn at the movies because I'd rather get my calories here: my favorite, giant pretzel with beer cheese (without the game to entertain me, I almost skipped this treat) and the Sesame Thai Chili Chicken bites made a great combination. There were so many good choices to select from, even on a night when I didn't want a yummy burger. read more

Well this is my second review to be for this dump . . First review was 2 years ago and owners called me and called me to take down my review because has a bad encounter with their belligerent drink son after he was wasted and walked in and was cursed me and half the bar out by a drunk @$$hole . . Now finally come back 2 year later after months of people saying give it a fair shot and what a disaster ! Jimmy not that bad . You just had. And experience . Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me ! Never AGAIN ! From the unwelcoming entrance .. to sitting at the bar and no service ... cold food and a drink bartender Asking what you recommend and cold soup . To a sandwich I took Togo because it wasn't Hot .. probably because I watched the blonde bartender over serve herself Casamigos ! I'm glad she had a good shift cause my experience sucked ! Twenty years in in the restaurant biz and never met a place that just didn't get it like this place . If they wana be a coke head bar just stay in massapequa with the rest of them . It's literally embarrassing how this place is ran and the customer service that's given ! FOODS NOT BAD BUT IVE LITERALLY NEVER SEEN A PLACE WITH WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE ! Management and customer service gets a negative which means NEVER AGAIN ! Nothing you can say will take this one down ! Keep your free meal you tried to bribe me with last time and didn't deliver one ! read more

Solid spot for a nice burger and quench your thirst. Our group of 6 popped in around 7:30pm a few Fridays ago. It was busy (thanks to the HH crowd) but there were a few tables available and we were seated right away. Once the lingering HH crowd departed, it got very easy to get a table. The manager came by to bring over a couple of more chairs as we started out as a party of 4 and the high top table was not intended to have seats on the end and crowd the floor where servers and customers had to walk by. Still, he was nice about it and made sure we were comfortable and that no one had to stand. We appreciated that. Our server was bubbly and friendly and was good with suggesting what to get (or to not). I settled on the Peter Luger burger which was cooked to a solid medium and which pummeled my appetite. Everyone in the group seemed to enjoy what they ordered. Prices are decent. Parking just across the way, although was pretty filled up at the time of our arrival. Luckily, saw one patron leaving so I nabbed a spot maybe 50 ft. away. All in all: a chill venue with good food, fair prices, and helpful/friendly staff. read more

I love this place! Great to watch islanders games. Great food; Bailey and Ashley are awesome bartenders, the male bartender insists on closing the bar early (12ish). Seems like a poor choice as they could make way more money... Chicken sandwich is one of the best I've had, great special nights, just need to find out who is bartending that night... Also has a good restaurant portion of you're not into sitting at the bar. Outside area for watching games. read more

Good pub food! Areas of improvement -Disappointed that most of the beers listed on the board were not available :( Guess they were super popular! - Super busy but it didn't seem like they had enough staff, so wait times were a bit extended when it came to ordering food, drinks, etc. Strengths: - Very nice server - he was just stretched too thin. - the Gigantic pretzel - blueberry ale - live acoustic music! I ordered the ticketer wrap! It was good. read more

Stopped by last night on our way to a local comedy show. Parking was good. We asked for a table, there were six open tables, (remained open for the 1.5 hours that we we there,) host said sorry no reservation, no table, please sit at the bar. Mike at the bar was very good, friendly, responsive and helpful. Drinks were reasonably priced; we ordered a giant pretzel and nacho's, both came out on the cold side, (I like a warm pretzel with beer cheese,) nice vibe and great beer selection! read more

Honestly they had some of the best wings I've ever had! Plenty of tvs to watch all your sports and a very decent size bar. The Peter Luger Burger was really delicious especially with the fried onions on top. It's super convenient to get to because it's obv right near the LIRR and sunrise highway. If you're looking for a pretty sweet bar for a night out with some really good food, definitely check out the 3rd rail! read more

Third rail is literally on the rail lol. You can hear the trains whizzing by as you eat. Nice spot to go to right off the train or if your a local. Food is above average bar food and ive never had a bad meal. This time we started with the large pretzel which was nice and fresh. Plenty for two to split. For my meal I got the balsamic chicken wrap with bree cheese and sundried tomatos. Was very good and the perfect size. Wasnt huge though so id go with something else if your a big eatter. My buddy got the rail burger which was huge. He said it was cooked well and was served on a nice fresh everything bun. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Bar wise they offer a nice wide selection of taps and offer some nice happy hour specials. read more

Wow guys, completely unbelievable. I don't know your name other than you're likely Jim's wife and Jim Jr's mom and own the place, but you have no idea how to treat your customers. Enjoy offering free stuff to all of your personal friends and then offering your table, after we had been waiting for an hour and told we could sit there, to your friends that just walked in. You were clueless to the fact that we had been waiting for an hour and WE were who the host was looking for a table for. Reservations for 6 or more, yet your friends that you needed to give your table to were a party of 4. We asked how many reservations were in front of us and were told there were only two, for parties of 10 and 6 and those tables were already waiting for them. When you were confronted, you lied and said they had a reservation. You continued your lie by saying that it was set up months ago. You knew we had our daughter and that she was hungry and waiting, but you decided your friends were more important and all you could muster was "I'm sorry" to us, when in fact you should have given your friends that message. Pathetic. Very disappointed in having supported you all these years after you purchased the place and for constantly recommending you. We'll be sure to tell the same people to avoid you going forward. read more

Best bartender ever, owner is a sweetheart, great service and delicious food, recommend to everyone

Wow! Whatta surprise! Once a month Son & I eat out to catch up on our busy lives. His hours are crazier than mines. On this day Son & I were headed to Left Coast Kitchen but was told they weren't serving lunch yet. What?! Huh? Ok. So we jetted & I grabbed my trusty Yelp app because son was very Hangry! 3rd Rail came up as a great burger spot nearby. Sooo glad we took a chance on this unassuming bar across from the Long Island Railroad. We were greeted & seated by our waitress Zayna. So sweet & pleasant. She asked for our drink orders & waited patiently while we settled on an order of wings & 2 burgers. Son got the Peter Luger Burger with Cheddar Cheese, Bacon, Crispy Onion Rings & Peter Luger Sauce. I ordered the Rail Burger which was Pulled Pork on a burger with Crispy Onion Straws & BBQ Sauce. Both were perfectly cooked, moist & flavorful! 5 star Pub Burger all the way! Oh I almost forgot about the wings the burgers were so good. The wings we got sauce on the side. Wings were perfectly Crispy how we like them & the blue cheese dressing had chunks of blue cheese in it. Soooo good! Zayna was an excellent waitress! She made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Great lunch for Mommy Son day. Would recommend in a heartbeat if you're looking for a really good burger with great service. Looks like a nice spot for Sunday Football watching. Check it out. 10-8-2016 read more

Excellent burger and on Tuesday great taco deal ! Great service and of course good selection of beers read more

Fun bar to go to and our waitress was fun. I liked that there was a jukebox there with a huge selection but we dropped like $15 on it and it only played one of our songs :( (out of like 7) we got a refund for the songs that didn't play but i honestly would've liked them to play because that would've been fun. It was a nice place though with nice people and good bar food and drinks. read more

I've eaten here a few times and have gotten takeout a few times. Never had a bad meal until now. Prices are inflated and the amount of food is minimal. This is supposed to be a fish n chips dinner. If I was the owner and the kitchen was sending this out to customers I would be embarrassed read more

WTF just happened here? Great bar experience, Anthony is an awesome bartender. Makes sure your drink is full at all times, without being overwhelming. Came here last Monday, same perfect service. Watermelon salad was also on point. Food was on the money for HH. Buffalo flatbread was great, pulled pork sliders were OK (tasted old) - but it's happy hour. Can't get too crazy for $7 a plate. It works. The hamburger sliders we had to stay were great. Way bigger than a slider should be, very generous portion. Ordered hamburger sliders to go. Check out the picture. Are you kidding me? Someone in the kitchen takes a bite and then plates it? What the puck is wrong with these people in the kitchen? And management is allowing the back of the house to ruin it for the front? Bringing these back as soon as I'm done with this review. Avoid this place at all costs. By far the most gross thing I've ever seen. Department of Health is getting the next e-mail. So gross. Who does this? 20 minutes passes. So I just got back from the 3rd Rail, the manager was great and offered to buy me another set of sliders. I explained to him that I didn't want a credit, refund or a redo from a kitchen that does this. Like I mentioned previously, something like this warrants an email to the town. What sort of low-life's work here? I just wanted to let management and the people on Yelp know what just happened. More than happy to lose $8 to let the Town of Hempstead and let any Yelpers know what this place is putting out. To be safe, I recorded the entire interaction with the manager, he was equally appalled. Great place for drinks, but don't buy the food unless you want it pre-bitten. 20 minutes later. We also ordered the Moroccan shrimp to go, just fed them to dogs but they looked amazing. Again, don't let one person biting into burgers mess this place up. read more

Awful service. Do not expect to be seated & served if you are solo. Went to see music & dine. I was first directed to the bar. I asked to be seated at a table, was given a menu & ignored. Two parties came in after me, orders taken & drinks served. I tried to speak with the owner & the waitress acknowledged others were served, but said she was busy?! Owner didn't seem to care either. Everyone has an off night for sure. But this was the second time it happened. read more

LONG STORY SHORT. The burgers tasted like an actual grill. I might have nightmares about their ranch. The waiter looked at my empty water twice as he walked passed. I'm still staring at my empty cup. It's f**ing lit. Deff try this place out ASAP. Editing now to mention how the owner came over to my table questioning my review, with zero concern or apology. "Just wanting to know who Gaven C. was" I feel threatened. Editing again to mention that we ordered the burgers medium. Not well done. So now they're even lying in their reply. And we in fact did mention to the owner that the burgers were bad while we were there. He only spoke to the staff and then he left the building. Taking my anger out? No one was angry. Only unsatisfied read more

Relaxed, casual atmosphere, great food and the service was excellent. Prices are more than reasonable. I have had their burger, which is delicious, salads and most recently tacos with nachos and mozzarella sticks as appetizers. Food is always fresh. The owner is very personable and friendly. Highly recommend this local establishment. read more

Came here for a nice Thursday night football with my boyfriend. Sat at the bar and got the worst service. Sat there waiting for ranch that we asked for three times. Got an attitude. Because we wanted different sauce for our wings. She went back to the kitchen and still no ranch. Never again. My Bf and i sat at the bar while she told everyone about the kitchen closing and left us hanging. we also watched her eat and care more about her phone than people at the bar. My boyfriend and I waited 20 plus minutes for the bartender Laura to come back over to us to even ask us for another drink and or the bill, while we sit here with empty glasses. read more

Headed over here again recently with the expectation of the great experiences I have had previously and was very disappointed. We came in early Sat evening about 430 so place was relatively quiet, service was good and things were progressing smoothly until the food came... Soup special was corn chicken "chowder", which was more of a creamy soup lacking depth and not hot. The French onion Soups were so over salted they were inedible, we were literally not able to eat it other than the cheese. The Onion Ring "Tower" (Onion Rings stacked on a straw) is overpriced and they are just plain old rings with plain old flavor (dipping sauce was good) and the burger was so overcooked it was bone dry...very disappointing. Wings "Atomic" were ok but not enough sauce and needed a sweet backing(i love heat as the hotter the better but flavor important as heat for me). Service very good and She was understanding and helpful which meant a lot. Will never go back though. read more

We were in Bellmore and checked Yelp nearby restaurants and found The 3rd Rail...which was a great pick! When we entered we found a good crowd with a busy bar scene and tv's with sports on around the room. A real treat was when Beth L. , a fellow Elite came over and welcomed us...she is a server there and took care of us like we were at a family dinner. We got drinks straight away; 2 UFO lager beers and my Pint of Guiness! The place has a friendly vibe and the fun was just beginning.For Appys we got delish Nachos with Pulled Pork and a Crock of French Onion Soup...both good! For our mains: Bon G. and I got burgers...she the Rail Burger and I the Peter Luger Burger... The Rail Burger was the standard burger with condiments and mine had bacon, onion straws and cheese and prepared Rare was thick and juicy....both served with FF's. Daughter Amanda Jade had a huge wonderfully tasty Chicken/sundried tomato Wrap...was outstanding!!! Beth brought us desserts on her; molton choco cake with whipped cream and vanilla iced cream...outstanding! Also cheesecake that was smooth and delish. We all had a great time there and look forward to returning and hopefully Beth will be our server...cause she is the BEST! read more

Great atmosphere, food, and selection of craft beers, whiskey's, and cocktails. It's not every day you come upon a local Tavern that has all this. The food is truly excellent and varied. The 3rd Rail also has many TV's to view sports and live entertainment on the weekends. read more

I don't know why, but I had low expectations on the food and really just came here for the trivia. Unfortunately trivia was cancelled because no other participants were there yesterday (in the bar's defense it was the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and road conditions weren't the greatest so they told us that wasn't normal for them. Plus they gave us each a free beer to make up for it). Luckily the food reached above the bar I had set for it. We had a group of 6 people so we started out with a variety of appetizers, which are half off on Tuesdays *EXCEPT* for the pretzel and chips/guac which was a disappointment so we didnt order those as we may have otherwise done so. Instead of we got the loaded nachos with chicken, two flavors of wings, and fried calamari. The nachos were truly loaded and not skimpy on the ingredients. They even brought out little wipes after the appetizers. For my meal I had the greek salad with chicken. While it certainly isn't one of the best greek salads the ingredients were fresh and the chicken was a more then generous portion. It was enough chicken that I still didn't finish my leftovers for lunch today and have at least one more full meal out of it if I add more salad. Our waitress was really sweet too. We were slow to order and slow to leave and she did a great job of occasionally checking up on us without rushing/overwhelming us. I'm sure it helped that it was a VERY quiet night there, but we appreciated it. read more
