As seen on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives -- and it lives up to the hype! We stopped by The Pit Stop a second time after seeing it featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives with Guy Fieri many years ago and wow -- it still did not disappoint! We ordered the steak paninis, steak wraps, and onion rings -- all absolutely delicious. The steak was perfectly seasoned and tender, and everything was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. You could taste the love in every bite. Even though we took our food to go, the staff made us feel right at home. Super friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The vibe inside is classic and cozy, with booth-style seating that gives off that real-deal diner feel. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Pit Stop is 100% worth the visit. Great food, great people -- exactly what you'd expect from a place Guy Fieri would put on the map! read more

We had lunch here today, and it was excellent. The lady that took our order was very nice, the place was very clean, & the menu was displayed beautifully & creatively on a giant blackboard. My friend enjoyed a chicken sandwich and I had the BEST vegan bowl anywhere! We talked about why all the tables were not filled, and we both said at the same time: it must be the name. I would have not chosen to eat here if I did not ask the sisterhood chairlady at my Temple where they got the delicious wraps. My friend and I agreed that it should be called the Gourmet Grill, or Tasty Time. read more

I had lunch here 3 days last week. I visited my family, and The Pit Stop is within walking distance. The staff is friendly and working as hard as they can. However, lunch service can be a bit slow. We were there for over half an hour on Wednesday around 2:30 pm. I liked the cheese fries (however, I also wish they sold "small" fries, rather than only medium or large). I tried the clam chowder and it was delicious and very fresh. The clams were large and chewy. My uncle likes their burgers and hot dogs. Everything needed a little extra salt. Visited by Guy Fieri for Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. read more

Always consistently good. They now have bowls! Kinda pricey but the food is pretty good. Not a place you'd expect to pay $25 for a salad, but very good. Not their fault, it's the state of our times, inflation and costs during these are ridiculous. I do love a good wrap and salad from here. read more

Always an easy delivery. And always good! They always call if they need to replace something.

Excellent food! Ordered online and probably arrived earlier than said time and it was ready and waiting for us. Will definitely visit again if in Merrick NY again! read more

Food is just meh and the selection for wraps is pretty boring imo. Chicken Wrap is mostly vegetables with barely any chicken. Second time coming here, but will definitely also be my last. If you like Americana type food, then you'll probably enjoy it here. Nothing special at all. I cannot recommend the food read more

My wife and I come here whenever we can. It's amazing how they have such a huge menu but no matter what you order they cook it great. Never had a trip here where we were disappointed. Staff is friendly. When the owner is here he's a great guy ! Worth giving it a try ! read more

I've been coming here since I was a teenager. Pretty much every time I get the crispy chicken panini. It's great. Great bread, tasty chicken, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, and literally the only balsamic glaze I will eat. Literally the only balsamic I will eat. Anywhere else, I'll send back anything which has TOUCHED balsamic. Here I lick my fingers. And they always do the fries right--don't have to ask for well-done, they just do it. Manager and owner are very friendly, and they've occasionally done teacher/community worker appreciate days, where they give a discount. Even though it's counter service, they'll come out and take your tray away if they're not absurdly busy. Such a nice independent business. read more

Horrible, got the sesame chicken wrap, asked for no tomatoes, and got tomatoes on the wrap. My chicken was dry with some fake sesame sauce. Guy fieri fraud because this restaurant is actually awful. My buddy bezos got a plain cheese burger that made the car smell like shit, full of grease and in his own words "fake." will not be back! read more

Ordered delivery and everything was ice cold. Burger was dry and the bacon was hardly cooked.

I attended my two sisters Company Barbecue Party today in Laurelton NY The food was catered by The Pitstop which my sister said her company uses all the time for catering events. I had pasta salad, potato salad, a piece of fried chicken, grilled vegetables and a turkey burger. All of the food was delicious, but what was the most awesome to me was the Turkey Burger. It looked just like a plain turkey burger on a plain bun - I'm like I'm not sure I want to eat this - turkey burgers are always plain and dry Well this was THE BEST EVER turkey burger I ever tasted. It was so moist inside and grilled to perfection, I did not even need ketchup or any condiment on it ! I wish I took a second one Thank you Pitstop for making my first experience trying your food and again that AWESOME Turkey Burger!, read more

Legit power bowl. Quick service. Ordered here a few times and it was consistently good.

yeah, no. Mahi Mahi was slim, dry and old,. bread was already soaked with the coleslaw juice,(usually gets soaked after 10 min not 1 minute) fries are great but few.. $22 combo. Sorry Pit Stop,. You were always a little pricey but delivered in quality and service, but if you're not going to manage quality, what's the use. Maybe you should stick to burgers and fries only. Had to go to Gyro Place to fill me up. read more

Delicious food. Good service. I'm looking forward to dinner. Friendly. Always a pleasure. One of the most yummy fast food places I know

Food was amazing! Definitely give this place a try if you like BBQ!!! The wife and I got the full rack of ribs and the fried chicken over a waffle. The ribs came with 2 sides of your choice and corn bread. Of course I also got the milk shake I would put the ribs up against anyones. Super tender, cooked perfectly and amazing bbq sauce. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Tasted great. The waffle was freshly made. The service we received was friendly and pleasant. Dorothy took our order and gave us some great suggestions for our meal as well. all of the employees at the restaurant were super nice and even though we came at rush time people were served quickly. We were going to take out but glad we ate there, just a nice pleasant meal for the wife and I for under $50 with a $5 tip for the staff read more

there was no one sitting down when me n my boyfriend walked in, but i was told its more of a grab n go place. the cashier showed us the specials and i got the pina colada salad which was delicious! and he got the roast beef panini. the staff were very nice and welcoming! very nice vibe in the store. would reccommend read more

One of my friends a few weeks ago said let's stop ar the Pit Stop Massapequa here for a salad. I ordered the blackened chicken salad minus the pasta (I watch my carbs ) is to die for. I normally get a salads from large franchises but for less than $15 I enjoy this "made with care" salad. I have traveled from Queens to get this salad. The workers are kind and they remember me each time I come in. While enjoying my salad today (the owner or at least I think he is) sat down and spoke with me about his travels and gushed while he talked about his wife. The Pit Stop which is just that is not the fanciest place but they are full of heart - Thank you for making my short time while eating an enjoyable one. Blessings. read more

Got charged $18 for this salad and got a really rude attitude from the blonde woman behind the counter when all I did was ask why I was charged so much extra for shrimp when I didn't get chicken or bacon. I've gotten the same thing before and was charged $16 (still too much to be honest) and it came in a larger black container. Really not worth it unfortunately- considering they have such a diverse menu. Definitely wouldn't order from here again. In response to the manager: as stated in the review- yes I've gotten it before and was not charged $18. Twice actually. read more

I remember when the pit stop was just a Burger joint, but now apparently it's a lot more; and I think I like it. The gentleman behind the counter saw me staring at their more than sufficient menu placards for sometime, so he pointed my attention to the daily specials in front of the register. I have to say several of them were tempting, including the Kung Pao calamari at the bottom: that was my choice. And the have to tell you, it was Delicious. Very tangy, Sweet with just the right amount of spice. Crispy pieces of tentacles bathed in that Thai sauce. They've got meat loaf and meatballs and zucchini spaghetti along with those tempting burgers, hot dogs and chicken with fries. And I almost had to grab some freshly baked chocolate chunk cookies and pies. So head here for dessert too. read more

I went to The Pitstop one day for dinner and was very happy I chose this place. The food was fantastic. I had the New England Clam Chowder soup and split Ribs and Chicken with my father. The ribs were cooked perfectly and the meat slid right off the bone. They were smothered in BBQ sauce and tasted great. The chicken was cooked just right. It was crispy outside and juicy inside. I took a bite of my wife's Cuban Sandwich and absolutely loved it. I will definitely be returning here and recommend it to everyone!! Enjoy!! read more

I recently catered an event at my home from the Pit Stop. The food was delicious and Dorothy was helpful . I highly recommend !!

Never do reviews but the experience was so good I had to, the food was diverse with options while all being executed so well. What makes the difference is the customer service, everyone was very sweet and helpful. All this out with a charming inside culminates for a good time. The owner is a class act, gave each of my friends a cookie on the house when we left. Absolutely will come back. read more

Posted closing time is not accurate. I arrived at this location at 8:30 sharp and the doors were locked.

I have only ever ordered for delivery (Grub Hub) or pick up. The delivery is always fast. The food is always fresh and delicious. My boyfriend swears their butternut squash soup is the best stuff on Earth. They have a very extensive menu- which is a little surprising based on the name and the small venue. They're more than just quick fast food bites! Whatever they're doing, they're doing it well! We usually order the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and whichever grilled vegetables. They have a huge selection for sides- including grilled, stir fried and steamed veggies, baked sweet potato, sweet potato fries, French fries, corn bread, rice, creamed spinach, roasted potatoes... the list is long, I suggest looking at the menu instead of making the workers tell you over the phone. read more

The Pit Stop - Grilled salmon with mashed potatoes & grilled veggies; large butternut squash soup - Burgers Near Me - Merrick, New York

Disappointing what this place turned into.. I've been going there since I was a kid to eat lunch during my break from my after school job.. The original owner must've sold or something... lady behind the counter's attitude gave off a vibe as if I was bothering her by coming in to spend money in her business... my chicken sandwich was 1 1/2 pieces of stale chicken tenders on a pale roll. They used to make food with love in there.. definitely not going back.... Would've been one star but the onions rings are good... oh yea forgot to mention I ordered a large meal and got a small drink.... Make it make sense.... read more

Just happened to pass by a few weeks ago and stopped in. Have been there twice since then for the $10 lunch specials which are great.

My boyfriend and I saw The Pit Stop on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and were so excited to try it! We were happy as soon as we walked in. Everything was so clean and modern. The gentleman who took our order couldn't have been any nicer, he was perfect. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and cheese fries. My boyfriend ordered one of the speciality burgers (the "All The Way" burger), onion rings, and a strawberry milkshake. Everything was phenomenal! I can honestly say that this wrap was the best wrap I've ever had. I think it even had some coleslaw in it. It was made to perfection. The cheese for the fries was also the best I've had. It exceeded all of my expectations. With that said, I only ate half of my meal (and I can generally eat an astonishing amount). I was happy later though when I got to eat the other half. Same thing for my boyfriend; he only ate half of his burger and onion rings, and made it about a third of the way through his shake. He was equally as happily stuffed as I was. The Pit Stop is now my new favorite lunch spot. They even have a bunch of healthier options for when I'm stricter on my diet. I have a BBQ coming up and grabbed their catering menu - I'll make sure to compliment anything else I try as I am expecting it all to be delicious! read more

The Pit Stop - New favorite lunch spot to indulge! - Burgers Near Me - Merrick, New York

The customer service here is insane.A nice man paid for my friend's food and we got free cookies

Can't go wrong with this well run and long time take out winner in Merrick. Quality food at reasonable prices.

Excellent, fresh food and an extremely friendly staff. Highly recommend! Delicious wraps and fries.

Visit Date: December 4, 2015 I wanted to try this place and I had my opportunity on December 4 when I had to stop by some place for dinner on the way back to my town to meet my friend for the Old Fashioned Babylon Village Christmas. I had told her the restaurants in the village were probably going to be way too crowded to eat in because of this event and it was better if we got food on our own before meeting at the event. I had the quinoa burger and cheese fries. The burger was excellent made of quionoa and various grains topped with avocado the burger had a fresh, healthy taste to it. The cheese fries were delightfully sinful yet very simple. They used a soft squeezy type cheese that sometimes comes with movie theatre nachos but the restaurant's version was a little bit above movie theatre nacho cheese. Combined with ketchup and armed with a tiny wooden almost fork I gobbled the cheese fries up like no tomorrow. There's also some healthy fare available here as well (I'm afraid I'm going to have to sample that if I go again because my new nutritionist isn't going to let me eat crap every day like I'm accustomed to doing). The atmosphere is road stop divey but clean enough to eat your meal inside if you wish. The staff was really nice. They let me keep my drink at the counter while I went to the bathroom when my dinner was still being prepared. Definitely a fan and if I have a chance to eat here again I will. read more

Decent better quality fast food spot that has a wide variety of food choices. Been here a few times and the food is always decent. Not awesome but decent for a semi fast food spot. Last time I was here I got the philly cheese steak and a side of sweet potato fries. Philly was good and a pretty big portion. Fries were also good. Little on the pricey side though. Burgers and wraps are also good, like the other food though a little pricey. Milk shakes look good however never actually tryed it. Overall a decent spot if your craving a better fast food option. Almost like a diner to go spot. read more

Delicious fresh friendly service! You can't believe how many great innovative dishes they have! Salmon, skirt steak, several creative burger options. They are happy to accommodate what ever changes you might like although their are very few needed! Gluten free options. Vegan as well! Thanks for being a great local spot' read more

Food is ok , expensive and small portions. Can be a little nasty, owner is nice. Hard to park. They were lucky they got on Food channel show. Just an ok place. read more

Disappointing. The burger was very small with little taste. The roll took over and was too big for the patty. 2 much bread. The cheese was bland. The onion rings were almost tasteless. The place overall was not very clean for 11:00 am. There were fruit flies flying around bothering my food. Overall this was a lunch I could have made in my kitchen and not worth eating out. read more

$11.95 Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Comes with NO peppers. We had no idea what kind of protein (or animal) they used. If you want taste, this sandwich is not for you. And can they make it any SMALLER? Still waiting from them to get back to us on the OPEN FOOD fee. Raising prices and smaller portions, time for us to find another local place to support. read more

I use to order here all the time. Today i ordered a Chicken Avocado Wrap.. Comes with Lettuce, tomato Avocado.. Med onion ring, and a small shake.. The manager took my order, never mentioning she can make that a combo for me i also asked buffalo style with crispy chicken.. Came to 22.00.. i called back realizing that that basically is a combo, asked if she could adjust price, which she did.. Was very nice about that.. But when i recieved my order, my sandwich was totally wrong, There was cheese and No Avocado.. When i called back to her she admitted the person who made the sandwich didn't put Avocado and added cheese.. Still wasn't what i ordered, but then she was like well we adjusted the price for the combo.. Which i appreciated but Still.... The sandwich wasn't what i ordered.. So if you want to eat at a place that will over charge you, then give you the wrong stuff and still pay for it, this is the place.. Will be find another sandwich spot.. read more

Disappointment abounds at the Pit Stop. Stopped in today for what should be an easy grand slam for a place that Guy Fieri highlighted on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Surprisingly, the Pit Stop was not up for the challenge. Now let's not get ahead of ourselves. My lunch order was nothing crazy - a cheeseburger and a knish. When I ordered, staff asked if I wanted lettuce, tomato, and pickle. I responded no pickle, which was correctly noted on the receipt. Apparently the cooks interpreted that to mean "none of the above" because there was no lettuce or tomato to be found. Burger patty was flavorless and was most likely some kind of cheap frozen patty. The single slice of American cheese was not melted. And the odd brioche style bun was far too much bread for the paltry serving of hamburger. Knish was equally underwhelming. While it had the nice, golden crisp shell, the potato filling was dry and crumbly. It certainly wasn't like other knishes I've had. Am I willing to give this spot a second try? Maybe. But it won't be for what should be a staple of the menu. Nor will it be any time soon. read more
