Baby Back Ribs

Best baby back ribs I've had and I've had them all over the USA Full Rack is a big portion but still the way to go Not to sauce just the right amount Great service

Riblets dinner with mashed potatoes

We loved it. Recently moved into the area and so happy we tried it. The atmosphere is cozy. They give you a salad to start- fresh crisp so good. Bread basket too. They do their own root beer and the food always hits. The service is quick and pleasant. So happy we found our new spot!

Here's the Scoop! Love coming here for the rib tip special. Portions are large and tasty. Always have leftovers. Prices are reasonable and service is quick and food comes out very hot. I really like my food to be served hot not lukewarm. Celebrating my son's birthday. He loves this restaurant and I can see why. You definitely get your money's worth. There's a nice waiting area outside when it gets really crowded in the Summer

Sat at the bar. Had a nice time. Didn't realize they had a happy hour on Friday and when we got there we had just missed it. Darn. Food was very good. Bartender was very sweet and fun to talk to.

Great ribs

Service is great I just love the ribs there amazing I definitely recommend coming here

So my husband & I visited Mihana for lunch today, and we absolutely loved it. We arrived during…read moretheir lunch hours, but we were really looking forward to trying some dinner items, so we mentioned this to our server, and she quickly accommodated us. Amber was patient, pleasant, and helpful in providing much-needed details about the menu. I ordered the Open Combo Skewer and he ordered the Combo Hibachi with Chicken & Shrimp, as well as two sides of Hibachi Fried Rice. The food was delicious and hot. The meat and vegetables were well- seasoned not salty. Portion size was very satisfying, definitely enough to enjoy at a later time. We usually don't leave room for dessert but today we made an exception and went all in. The Oolong Tea Cheesecake was delicate, with light flavors and a smooth texture. The Momo Musu and the Mango Mousse Bear were exceptional. We immediately enjoyed the Peach and Mango flavors, the overall presentation, and the fresh fruit and whipped cream that accompanied it. (These two are a must when you visit) I've been eyeing Mihana for a while now, and am so happy we decided to give it a try. It was well worth it. Clean and Serene environment, that would be comfortable for a lunch date or a group gathering. This was really one of the best Japanese food experiences that I've had in some time. I highly recommend this establishment, and we can't wait to return!

We had Big Belly BBQ cater our recent event, and I might never smoke my own ribs again for a party…read moreafter this experience. Everything was delicious, perfectly prepared, and served with professionalism from start to finish. We went with the Carnivore Belly package and added skirt steak, wings, and a mix of sides. The BBQ was outstanding - meaty tender ribs, juicy pulled pork, burgers and dogs grilled to perfection. The wings were crisp and flavorful, and the fryer setup stole the show with piping-hot fries and onion rings that guests couldn't stop talking about. Even the sides (macaroni salad, harvest salad) were fresh and balanced out the richness of the BBQ perfectly. Booking, setup, cooking, serving, and cleanup were all handled smoothly. Our guests raved about the food, and we were able to just enjoy the day. It was the best of both worlds - the taste of authentic BBQ with none of the stress of doing it ourselves. Highly recommend Big Belly for anyone looking to elevate their party or gathering. They absolutely made our event unforgettable. My belly is certainly happy, and now big too.

Can't rave enough about the vegan options at this spot! I have never been a fan of jackfruit until…read moreI came here. The vegan "pulled pork" is so tender and melts in your mouth. The pretzel bun and so buttery and creamy. The loaded baked potato is so well balanced. And the best of all deep fried peanut butter and jelly. All of these options are vegan and they have a few other veggie options I still need to try. If you're vegan and in Long Island it's a must try! It's a great spot to takeout or casual dine in I hope they get a vegan coleslaw and mac and cheese too soon.

My husband got the paella. Portion was huge, he loved every different piece of meat in it and said the seafood was excellent!

The restaurant was busy, and they offered valet parking, which made arrival easy. When we arrived, our table wasn't ready yet, but the staff kindly asked if we wanted high-top tables by the bar, which we declined. The bar area is quite expansive and has a cozy feel, so I'm not sure why I didn't recognize the restaurant from my previous visit. Once seated, we were promptly approached by our server, who took our drink orders with promptness and friendliness. One thing that hasn't changed is the restaurant's lively atmosphere. Its noisy and can be difficult to hear each other, especially if you're sitting near a crowded table enjoying sangria. The lively ambiance is part of the experience, but it does make conversation a bit challenging. For our meal, I ordered the Lobster Meat & Shrimp in garlic sauce, which I found to be very flavorful. My partner ordered the Chicken Lemoine, and she enjoyed it very much. Overall, our dining experience was pleasant, and the service was excellent throughout the evening. Sangria 71, I will most definitely return for Happy Hour.

Wow Commack, you have something great going on here in Commack…read more We loved the Outback 20 plus years ago as our kids were growing up, and the Westbury location is a stone's throw from home. But over the years we stopped going, I just can't get past the heavy shellac blond oak everywhere, and the quality took a nose dive, IMO Lately, my extended family has been returning for their fabulous coconut shrimp, which at the Commack location was out of this world. At 4:30 pm on a cold mid January Saturday, the restaurant was already 1/3 filled and by the time we left at 6:30, they were on a fairly long wait list. Yet, the wait staff & front desk, could not have been more welcoming & delightful. What is really nice for teens to go with their friends, is they offer a nice 14.99 menu which is really nice, with upgrades and lots of choices available. I feel like they really do not advertise or make use of social media as best they can, so many people have just forgotten about them. But if you are in the area, I think it is a nice place for a simple meal that does not break the bank. I'd avoid rush hour times, although they do offer a "call ahead" which might move you up the wait list a bit. They also offer a 10% Veterans discount, how nice is that ? Both my dad & Lee have served, as did my daughters boyfriend.

Haven't been to outback in a while, and I've been missing out this whole time!…read more I went to try out the Aussie 3-course meal, and it did not disappoint! Portions were huge, and I walked out feeling stuffed. Service was great, our server was new, but did a great job and met our expectations with all our dietary accommodations. Ambiance was standard for a chain, lots of seating, and decent amount of noise, but wasn't too loud. Loved this meal deal, I got the 6oz filet (not pictured bc I was too excited to eat it) and it was delicious! I look forward to going back soon!

There was also a big party going on and we still got exceptional service and checked in on to make sure our food and everything was good. My husband and I both had the special, lobster bisque, which was delicious with some pieces of lobster in it as well. For dinner, I had the sea bass. Which they accommodated and did not put the pesto on it as I am not a fan of it. This was delicious especially with added chunks of lobster with it. My mom had the crispy duck. All the food was delicious. Drinks were great too! Dessert was scrumptious. I absolutely loved the Italian cheesecake with raspberry sauce. The ambiance was nice and open. Overall, the whole evening was lovely and I would definitely come back again, maybe during their happy hour so I could try more dishes. They have plenty of space in the bar area as well. Whether you're looking for a nice sit down dinner or a laid back evening with drinks and appetizers, this is a great place to go.
