Without repeating my last review both the food and service were outstanding. Once again our server Christine did an amazing job ( serving both the bar and dining areas) while maintaining a welcoming demeanor throughout. Even got to meet the cook who once again visited the tables asking how were the dishes. Corned beef sandwiches and French onion soup were delicious and well portioned as usual. Fantastic local Irish Pub offering outstanding customer service along with delicious food dishes at reasonable prices. A local gem not to be passed by when in the mood for a Guinness, some appetizers or a burger or sandwich.

Food is outstanding Traditional Sunday Roast... choice of 1/2 roasted chicken, or beef brisket, or fresh roasted turkey or fresh Irish Ham. Served with all the trimmings Baked stuffed Clams are a must, amazing sandwiches, burgers and homemade French fries second to none. All dessert's are homemade and Guinness Brownie served with soft serve ice cream. Service is outstanding as well, shout out to Kolleen our waitress absolutely fantastic. Clean and decorated still for Christmas, magical night watching snow falling out the windows and the Christmas lights on and tree lit. Highly recommend this outstanding Irish Pub and restaurant where you can find Guinness and Harp on tap to fill your pints.

It's exactly what you would think of when you think ghetto bar in the 'burbs. BUT, the bartenders are always super friendly, and surprisingly trustworthy. I gave the bartender my card, asked him to only give me $50 worth of booze for the night, and I had all I wanted, bought my friends plenty of drinks, and then still had enough to give him a $15 tip. Now, I advise young good looking women to NOT go alone. I'm sure it's fine, I'm sure nothing will happen, but if you want to be oggled in not a particularly pleasant way then, go alone. But, if you're in a group, it's perfect. 30 of your nearest and dearest friends, and it turns into the best place to be in in Commack/E.Npt for miles around! Cheap drinks....i've never eaten there, but apparently it's pretty good. Plenty of parking...... KARAOKE night is on Friday! It's a new thing, and again, the place is usually empty so you'll have to bring your own possie, but it's worth it!

Met a friend at Shanahans who frequently raved about their chicken wings. And to be quite honest…read morehis chicken wing recommendation was spot on! I will admit I was a little skeptical when driving there. Pub is on Old Dock Road in a wooded section of the closed Kings Park Psych Center property. Looking past the abandoned buildings you arrive at the pub which gives off that upstate, neighborly even home town vibe. There is a large outdoor patio area in the front offering ample seating weather permitting. Inside features a full bar with seating along with high top tables and a small dining area off to the side. Hearing there was some confusion regarding how/where to place food orders we settled for the bar. After promptly being welcomed and getting some advice from the bartender I ordered the Carolina Golf chicken wings. These were the best wings I have eaten by far. These wings were meaty, crunchy and flavorful with that tangy sweet Carolina sauce and are reasonably priced. I'll definitely return and try the other flavors when in the area. One note be cognizant of the deer when coming or going. I saw a few deer meandering about the property while there ( deer can be viewed on the rear property where a cell tower is located). Overall a small but cozy pub the features outstanding chicken wings along with friendly service. When in the mood for wings this is the place !

The barmaid was nice and friendly when I ordered take out. Equally nice in person. However the…read morequality of food left much to be desired. Medium burger was well done. Menu says it's served on a "large English muffin." This was no English muffin. Try white bread. If these were the "famous jumbo wings," i'd love to see the "not so famous tiny wings." These were not jumbo, but the average size most chicken wings are. The final insult was the miniature container of blue cheese dressing which maybe two wings could be dunked in. Of course, you could buy more. But it was pretty lousy tasting. They claim it's homemade. They sorely need a new recipe.

Delicious food and great service in a cozy pub atmosphere…read more We ordered a variety of appetizers and each one was done really well and set up expectations for the main meal. The Owner Frank popped out of the kitchen and suggested the beef stew served in an Italian bread bowl, as it was new to the offerings. We ordered one of those as well as the Jack Daniel's burger. The burger and fries were really good but we are glad he suggested the stew. It was seasoned perfectly and the gravy infused bread bowl was a real a treat. You can tell when the chef loves food.... We will be back

So that $18 bangers and mash is charged at $22 without any warning. The $10 quesadilla appetizer becomes a $14 main entree when fries are added without the waitress clarifying which you want. Fries are not eaten and returned but still charged to you for the extra $4. So your meal Is suddenly $8 more without you ever being consulted until the check arrives. Bad business. Bad customer experience. Shame because we really like the place.

Grafton Street Irish Pub in Hauppauge really leans into what it is at its core--a local pub that…read morehappens to serve food lol. This place isn't trying for polished restaurant experience, and honestly, that's kinda part of its charm. It feels like the kind of spot where the bar comes first and the kitchen supports it if this makes sense. The atmosphere is a neighborhood hangout feel. You can tell it's a local spot--people walking in were greeted by name, and there's a familiar, lived-in vibe that makes it feel welcoming if you're a regular, and easy enough to settle into if you're not. Food-wise, the corned beef on both the Gaiety and the Finnegan's Wake sandwiches stood out--tender, flavorful, and generous. Both sandwiches came with fries, and while I appreciate skin-on fries, these leaned a bit soggy rather than crispy. Overall, this is a solid spot if you go in with the right expectations. It's less of a destination restaurant and more of a go-to pub where you can grab a drink, and enjoy pub food. If you're looking for a lively, casual bar with good portions and a strong local following, it delivers--even if not everything on the plate is perfect. I think I'd like to make an update review after trying a few more dishes. At a glance, 3.5 with overall good experience.

As expected, it was a casual pub style spot with a bar and a small dining area in the back. For this Friday afternoon, it was quite busy. It was bustling with almost all the tables taken by the time we left. Our server was friendly and upbeat. She offered suggestions based on our preferences. We both ordered the same thing - burgers. They came out quickly. The burgers were big and yummy. They satisfied our craving perfectly.

I've been here on numerous occasions hoping that maybe this would finally be the visit where everything clicked. Unfortunately, it just hasn't happened. My experiences have been so-so, and more often than not they've been slightly disappointing. My biggest complaint has always been the food. My take has been it's been bland or uninspired. The French onion soup was just ok, and seemed like no effort putting this together. No provolone cheese option when I've ordered which is crazy. The Caesar salad tasted diluted, with lettuce that seemed waterlogged rather than crisp and fresh. Just overall underwhelming. The food is not necessarily terrible, but just mediocre and forgettable. Portion size is another problem. For what you're paying, the plates often feel surprisingly small. One example of this was the "Big C Burger," which was honestly a huge letdown. With a name like that you'd expect something substantial. Instead, the burger was tiny--maybe 4-5 ounces at most. At first glance you could barely even see the meat because the bun swallowed it. I ordered it medium and it came out completely overcooked, cooked to death really. The bun didn't help either--dense, dry, and overpowering the already small patty. The whole thing just felt poorly executed. Even the little details were off. I asked for olive oil on the side for a salad and what came out was clearly some generic vegetable oil. It felt like a lazy substitution, the kind of thing that makes you question how much care is going into the kitchen overall. To be fair, the one thing Faraday's consistently gets right is the atmosphere. The restaurant is has a cozy charming space with a warm pub feel. The indoor dining area although small has character and a comfortable vibe. The outdoor area is really nice too, and perfect for setting for a nice meal on a comfortable day. Service is good. I've not had any issues with any servers ever being inattentive. Occasionally some order mixups but quickly rectified. Unfortunately, that inviting setting hasn't translated to memorable meals. After several attempts over the years, Faraday's has remained one of those places that seems like it should be good--but for me, it just never quite hits.
