    I haven't been to the Texas Ranger since they were located by the Freeport train station. So I was nearby and tried out there chili burger and there Hamburger special. The chili burger was not as I remembered it but it was pretty good. Maybe if I ate it there it might have been better. But the Hamburger Special was just a I remember delicious. The young lady at the counter was very friendly and my order came out promptly. And the prices weren't bad neither.

    Texas Ranger Special burger.

    Staff was pleasant and conscientious. Burgers cooked to order and tasty. Sides were very good too. The Texas Ranger Special burger was served with very fresh meat, slau and special sauce and more. Shakes were delicious and a good value. Only negative- Demerits for styrofoam packaging on To go orders.

    I live in Rockville Centre, with at least 5 burger places in walking distance... and I still drive to Freeport every time for The Weekender. It's my all time favorite. It has cheese, hash browns, bacon and a fried egg on it. I think about this burger on a daily basis, if I'm being honest. It's delicious. Their shakes are great. Loveeeee their onion rings and the fries are good too. The place is small but the service is fast. The people who work there are friendly. Don't forget to tell them how you like your burger cooked, they don't always ask. (If you do happen to forget, they won't overcook it, you'll get it medium.) I have been here at least a dozen times and it's always been everything I would ever want. And you'll spend less than half what you would end up spending in Rockville Centre, and you'll be at least twice as happy.

    Whiting FISH SANDWICH

    I ordered the fish sandwich. The sandwich was microwaved after it was fried. My lettuce were brown and hot. The bun was hot but hard (characteristics of being microwaved). I DON't recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a fresh meal. If you want leftovers this is tour place.

    Great little burger spot. Got the Ranger special and the chili special, both very tasty. Burgers came out pretty quickly. Cashier was friendly. I can't think of anything negative about my trip here. Would stop by again for sure.

    Driving down Atlantic Avenue in Freeport some months back, my wife let out a little shriek of joy when she saw the sign for "Texas Ranger" being lifted into place. She informed me how the Texas Ranger was a staple of childhood and she was so hoping it was going to be the same as she'd remembered. Always up for a burger joint, I gleefully volunteered to get takeout. We both ordered the Ranger Burger, fries and I got a Chili w/Cheese. The Chili was good, but not too flavorful. The Burger was buried under a mountain of Cole-Slaw, which I understand is a thing and was listed on the menu, but it's just not for me. The fries were good, but not as good as Five Guys or BurgerFi. Overall, it was an average burger experience that may be improved (at least in my estimation) by forgoing the coleslaw topping.

    I visited Long Island a couple of weeks ago to see my elderly mother. She was celebrating her…read morebirthday and wanted to have dinner with a very close friend, so I looked for a place to get my own supper. Of course Long Island has lots of diners, but they are all unique, and I would say that based on my experience, Imperial is one of the best. I did not want your typical huge diner meal, which is much too much food, so I went with a nice dinner size Mediterranean Salad. The food was excellent - top quality fresh ingredients, put together beautifully and delicious. I was equally impressed by the service. When I travel to New York, I will often run into people who are not particularly friendly or helpful, including many who work at restaurants. This was not the case at all at Imperial. They were kind, and eager to give me a great experience. For a diner, it was not too noisy, and everything was very clean. Prices were very fair too. The only thing lacking .. and I saw this a lot in New York, was non-alcoholic beer. I cannot drink alcohol, and this is something I really enjoy with my meals. Imperial does have a variety of "Mocktails" .. so there are options for folks like me ..but it would be nice to see some beer options for the growing number of people who either cannot drink, or prefer to avoid alcohol. This is definitely a good choice if you are looking for a nice diner. Highly recommended.

    Why have I not been here sooner?! A friend d who lives close by has mentioned Louisiana joes and I…read morecould kick myself for not coming here immediately! Louisiana joes looks like a small sandwich shop from the outside but inside it is a flavor factory. The staff was so warm and welcoming and were so helpful. We tried the pork sandwich, jambalaya and the Mac and cheese. There are so many great menu options, it was hard to choose. The jambalaya features shrimp, chicken and sausage. So flavorful and the portion size was excellent for the price. The pork sandwich was delicious - pork was super tender. But the star of the show - the Mac and cheese. We are Mac and cheese lovers and try it everywhere. Well congrats, Louisiana joes. You've officially taken the top spot for cheesy deliciousness. I just regret that we didn't add a protein. I wish they were open daily and had longer hours but I also love that they're not because the staff can have lives outside of work. Cannot wait to go back and try more!!!

    I have yet to be disappointed by Louisiana Joe's Sandwich Shop. Everything thus far (*ahem 2…read moreitems*) has been flavorful and has opened my taste buds to wanting to try more. The first time I went here, I ordered their shrimp and grits. Simply put, it's delicious. I've been back a couple times just for that. On this visit, based off another Yelpers review, I decided to give the grilled cheese with the beef brisket a try. Sandwiched between two toasted and I want to say buttered (don't quote me on this) brioche sliced breads with Provolone cheese melted on the bottom half and cheddar oozing out on the top half is the perfectly tender and healthy serving of seasoned beef brisket. I had to eat it as soon as I got it to savor in the moment and experience it in its true form. Hot and cheesy. The two cheeses brought the sandwich together nicely creating a savory dance on your tongue. The cheese literally oozes out with eat bite. As good as it was, I know it will not be a frequent meal to grace my belly, because personally, it's just too much meat *for me*. Considering this, I ate the whole sandwich in one sitting. I'm not usually a brisket person, but I was willing to give this one a try. Cheese, meat, and bread, sign me up. It is a lot to eat as far as the meat is concerned, so if you're not a crazy meat eater, don't be surprised if you only have room to eat half if not one full slice. I also wanted to try their corn nuggets, which looks like fried corn bread but rolled into a ball, but they didn't have it that day. I left feeling a little deflated at that, but my belly was full. I doubt whether I would have been able to eat that along with my shrimp and grits. Note: the longer you wait to eat it, the Colder it gets and its not as good as the first couple of bites *IMO* When the mood hits, I will definitely be back to try something else on the menu.

Appetizers, Empanadas, although flavorful, came lukewarm, at best, as if they had been sitting under a warm lamp waiting for their name to be called, instead of cooked to order. The Guacamole, the same. Brownish, as if it sat in the molcajete awaiting the next guest's order. Accompanying Plantain Chips the same. They should be cooked to order and served hot tableside. The Fried Cheese is a good addition. You should not taste stale oil that it was fried in though. The Mofongo (Chicken) was decent, although a tad stiff (it definitely needed the Amarillo sauce.) The fried Chicken Strips again, should've been hot but were lukewarm. The Mofongo's serving amount was smaller than what we're normally used to but it's a dish we could reorder. The Seafood tower lacked flavor and was overcooked. Every piece of Seafood curdled (Shrimp, Lobster Tails). The Crablegs seemed old, as they had black spots on some of the legs. The Tower definitely needed the Sauce, which seemed prebottled and not exclusive. It doesn't take much to make an Housemade Seafood Boil sauce versus just providing an oily pre-bottled one. The Grilled Chicken with Rice and Beans, seems like a safe bet but here are the issues/concerns: 1. The Grilled Chicken flavor was fantastic and the Char was perfect! The Chicken itself was rubbery and congealed, as if it was wet brined too long. Rendered it inedible. The rice was good but the Frijoles severely lacked flavor or a decent amount of beans. Fallen skin from overcooked beans does not count! The Drinks were worrh coming for. The Coquito, Berry Smash and Manhattan were all fuerte (strong) and REALLY good! BE CAREFUL to NOT PARK in the lot adjacent to the right. They do have a dedicated lot on the left, behind the main restaurant and next to their Hookah across the street by the docks. It's gravel so watch your heels ladies They play music so it'sa fun vibe. Puerto Plata is a good time if you eat first and come for drinks and music afterwards.
