We only end up in this part of the world when we head to the beach, and after a long day in the sunshine and jumping in the waves, it's hard to beat Bungalow Bar. The kids can take a photo in the giant lifeguard chair. The adults can have a spritz or three. And everyone can dine on burgers, and fries, and baked clams, and fried fish sandwiches that are comically too large for their tiny buns. It isn't the finest seafood in the city (our mussels weren't great), you shouldn't stray too far off their staples (the ribs were fine), but they know their way around a fryer. And you're not really there for the food, but the vibes. The service is a little hit or miss too, but I truly appreciate that when they messed up, they bought us a round. We all need to be able to admit when we're wrong, and apologize the right way. With alcohol.

"The real Rockaways"…read more I come here every now and then after hitting jacob Riis and the boardwalk, since it is on the way to the train. This is a very laid back neighborhood bar with an older crowd where everyone knows each other. Upon entering you may get some stares (I do not mind awkwardness too much) but if you stay for a couple of drink the "locals" will warm up to you. A couple even bought me a birthday shot. The wife of the couple also introduced me to other regulars at the bar. Mike, the bartender, is a very extreme character, who (for some reason) thought I was there the previous week and I told him that I was a photographer. Who knows where he go that from but it was funny, nonetheless. The bar is pretty standard and divey. There is a pool table, a jukebox and a patio in the back where one can smoke. The drinks are really cheap and the bar has an option of pints or 10 oz of draft beer. So, I highly recommend to check this place out if you actually want to see and meet the real folks of the Rockaways.

Service was quic=k and attentive despite the lunch rush (a couple of corporate events, it appeared). The Garden Margarita was a tasty, "healthy" alternative to a standard margarita; the frozen mojito was a nice drink option too. The grilled chicken sandwich was very tender and juicy, with a delicious slaw on top. The Beach Hot Dog was served with kimchi slaw, but the dog (a Pat LaFrieda dog, no less) was sadly a bit mealy. Perhaps a little more time on the grill was needed. Overall, a decent meal in a beautiful beachy setting a block from Rockaway Beach.

Me and my mom came here and honestly we were pretty disappointed with the food and service overall…read more The atmosphere is casual but more on the side of polished casual. Its very lively. We started with the lobster mac and cheese, and it was just okay. Maybe a 4/10 at best. It was a loose mac and cheese and very cheesy but lacked an appropriate amount of salt. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't anything I'd go back for. Now the crispy tuna rice, SO GOOD! 10/10. That was easily the standout of my meal. The tuna was the fresh and firm, the crispy rice was crispy throughout, the soy sauce glaze was perfect. The whole thing just worked. Out of everything we ordered, this was the one thing I would absolutely get again. We also got the crab pasta, and this was probably the biggest disappointment. It was very bland and seriously lacked seasoning. The portions were also... off. By off, I mean small. My mother had received a bigger portion of pasta than me. When we pointed it out to the server, they mentioned that my mother got an inappropriate portion, meaning that hers was bigger then it was suppose to be. For the price, I expected more. The service didn't really help either. The wait staff was pretty dry, and overall the experience just felt a little underwhelming. Even the drinks were hit-or-miss. The coffee martini was actually really good, but just a heads up, it is on the sweeter side and apparently comes from a box/pre-made. I personally liked it, but if you don't like a sweet coffee martini, this is probably not going to be for you. We ended with the skillet cookie and ice cream, which was a nice way to finish, but by that point we were still pretty disappointed with the overall meal and dining experience. What really validated our experience, though, was hearing the table next to us say pretty much the same thing about their food. So it wasn't just us. The food overall felt lackluster, the preparation left a lot to be desired, and seasoning was definitely an issue across most of what we ordered. I would soley come back for the crispy tuna rice. Everything else? Definitely leaves much to be desired.
