5/12 On May 9th, I saw Trotters bar during my scrolling session on the app. On May 12th I contacted my plus one and asked them to yelp up a good place to go. she came up with two places and Trotters was one and it made the list by unanimous decision. Finding the huge parking lot in the back was very convenient but I should have walked to the front to avoid the stairs in the rear entrance. We made it inside to find that it greatly resembles a sports bar, with one hundred and one televisions plastered on the wall. Seriously, 100 televisions was enough, that one extra television was the one Domino that set everything in motion. I was so fascinated and trying to watch every television set in sequence. I needed a horses blinder in order to restrict my vision to focus on one televisions. Besides all of that, Trotters has a lively, upbeat atmosphere yet it did provide a touch of romance if you could focus. Santiago was our waiter. Very poised and possessing self-assuredness. Santiago provide exceptional customer service in all areas. His side kick assisted us as well with such professionalism. FOOD* Apps- spinach artichoke dip with corn chips. Blackened chicken platter w rice & broccoli. Chicken parmigiana penne. Lava cake Hot Tea The appetizer was very delicious and offered a desirable taste and the chips were not greasy. I received a generous portion of food that provide a meal for the next day. The blackened chicken was very good and tasty, if I would recommend a dish, this would be it. The broccoli was crisp with the rice as an excellent culinary paring.the lava cake was different. I was thinking it was going to be a hot lava cake but is was good regardless! The night was a good night and we really enjoyed this local treasure trove! Inspire more,Yelp more! read more

Went for a birthday party event tonight at Trotters. Angelo and Maria Venuto were there singing live . The overall consensus is that they are very entertaining and very Loud. The thing is, they do make people want to get up and dance , to a non exhistant dance floor with a little space in front of them. Who am I to say,, a table to the side of the door that 4 people sat at could have been moved and taken away with still room for guests to sit and eat. The fake roses on the table were pretty. Justin was a very fine waiter,. The fish special that I ate was good and served at a perfect temperature. I drank water , though the chocolate martini did look yummy. 42.00 plus a well deserved tip brought a close to the evening for me. read more

The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, definitely a spot I would come back to again. Highly recommend! read more

rude staff when picking up order, had to wait forever and was told to cancel when inquiring

Fun place with live music. Was there a few weeks ago and they had a fun band. The food and service is great with reasonable prices. You may have to wait to be seated but worth it. Bartender Nick was awesome and fast. I highly recommend this place. Plenty of parking in back. read more

Just a few miles away from the USB arena, and Belmont Park, plenty of parking in the rear of the building, food service was fantastic, more than just a local neighborhood bar, they do have a party room to the side, salmon, and the lobster broth was fantastic, the service was very friendly, A lot of repeat clientele, well worth the trip and experience read more

I have been here twice and both times I had an amazing time! The food here is great! I have had the brisket sandwich, the steak tidbit sandwich and the French dip sandwich, all comes with French fried that are so deliciously yummy as well. I will most definitely be coming back and trying out the rest of the menu! Stay tuned for more! read more

Good food. Good prices. Good service. Highly recommend. Look for Nick behind the bar.

Our experience was terrible. So let's start with walking in the back door! The parking lot was dirty... honestly? Have your team clean the lot if your landlord doesn't... The back door area was dirty and the lighting was too dim and not handicap friendly. After getting seated the server wasn't that polite and we had to ask about special and happy hour deals... The staff needs training... Some of the food came out cold and the server wasn't very attentive... asking for extra napkins was displeasing and we had to wait for drinks... So we sat at the bar for a drink before we left and it wasn't busy but the staff was pretty just socializing amongst each other and we had to flag someone down for service... music was playing but no juke box? we also viewed a staff member cursing at a young woman at the bar!?!?!? hopefully that guy is no longer employed there and that young lady is ok... Overall I would save your money for a better run restaurant... hopefully this review reaches the owner to not be blind to their business... Ratings: 1-5 Server: 0 Food: 3 Bar: 0 Atmosphere: 0 Darts: yes pool table: no Juke box: no read more

Our local watering hole. Don't let the appearance inside fool you, this place has been around forever for a reason. The food, for bar food, is really good and I never have had an issue with service ever. Everyone has been attentive and really welcoming. It's definitely a local spot but don't let that deter you from coming in. read more

This was my first time at Trotters. We came pretty late in the evening. Maybe an hour before closing. The bartender informed us that the kitchen had just closed when we arrived. I was a little disappointed as I was hungry and looking forward to trying their food but definitely no one's fault. Bartender seemed nice enough. She was familiar with my honey as he has been there several times. I found my margarita mediocre. Had to ask for another shot to add to it. The crowd was not diverse at all I will say that. But if definitely give Trotters another try on a different night to try the drinks again and hopefully the food options. read more

I love trotters! Nick the owner is the man! The food is the best in the area, and the service can't be beat! Definitely my go-to whenever I'm around read more

Truly a sports bar. Something like 20 flat screens beautifully mounted so you can see the one you want from just about anywhere. Bar is nice and comfortable, seats plenty, hi tops in the bar area. A sort of separation with the dining area, but you should still be able to see your game from there. No complaints with respect to service, food, comfort, atmosphere. Bathrooms were clean and parking is available in a private lot. There's a nice little covered smoking deck at the rear entrance, too. My husband had the half rack ribs which he enjoyed, and I had a BLT which was well-filled, tasty, and just the right size. Sports bars aren't really my thing, but, if the need arose I wouldn't hesitate to choose Trotters. read more

Found this gem a few months back during the pandemic..passed by it a number of times and never went in until one day I said we are trying this place and all I have to say is wow!!! From the appetizers, main courses, specials, burgers everything has been delicious! We go like 3 times a week if not more and I am working my way through their menu which has quite a bit on it lol...I can eat the food over and over again. The staff is so welcoming and so sweet..love Helen and Georgi! the bartenders are on point. We go mostly on Wednesday nights Saturday or Sundays nights when our fav bartender is there Nick lol...but all the bartenders are great! They also keep the place very clean and the bathrooms as well. I am going to start taking more pics of their food and adding it to my review. So far here is the delicious Philly cheese steak I had and ate it all just like all the other food I eat at trotters. I never finish my food but here I do lol. As busy as they could get, the food comes out pretty quick that is a big plus too but I also do not mind waiting if i have to for the food, it is worth it to me. Also it is Close to home! Love!!! Update more food pics! Omg steak tidbit and red snapper special read more

ordered a meal for my wife and son via phone.. (My son was going to pick it up after he got out of the gym).. was told the item my son wanted was no longer on the menu.. texted my son that the item was unavailable would he want something else. He didnt read the text until 10 minutes after he got to the restaurant sitting at the bar waiting for the order. And the server who took the payment never bothered to tell him that the unavailable item was UNAVAILABLE. When they handed him the order and he saw it was only one item in the bag. My son said to the manager "my dad texted me that you dont have the item I wanted .. whats going on?" The manager or perhaps owner (female) said the item was "no longer on their menu". My son told her he looked at their menu on their website and it was "ON THE MENU" The server chimed in and said "I thought we weren't making that item anymore" The manager said "its not on the menu anymore but we can still make it for you" (that makes a lot of sense).... after he'd already been sitting there for 15 minutes... The Bacon Cheeseburger Wrap is STILL on your website's menu Trotters. My son to say the least wasnt Happy.. He was looking forward to what he ordered but wasnt waiting another 15 minutes. This place needs to employ staff who know what they are doing and know what IS and ISNT on the menu... And no one followed up with a phone call to try and appease the situation. An Idiotic experience! read more

The service was very good, and the ambience is what you would expect. The food however, was literally just OK and very salty.

I really believe Franklin Square to be the Long Island capital of pub/sports bar/grill type places - I can think of at least 6 off the top of my head. I would say Trotters is one of the better ones around. We stopped in for late lunch on "Football" sunday where there was a bunch of games on all the TVs in here and the most of the patrons dressed in football jerseys. We were seated at a comfortable high top. My wife had the BLT and she really enjoyed it - it was packed, very generously, with bacony goodness. I went with the fish tacos and found them to be decent. Before I ordered I asked if they came with any sides - the server said no, that I wouldn't need them. He was wrong because I could have used a little something to compliment them. Also at $15 bucks for 3 I felt they were a bit pricey for tacos only. The flavor was good, but the fish was lacking in what I was served. They had some sunday specials - inexpensive beer and sandwich combos that looked good so you can get a deal here. The service is also very good and friendly - no complaints there. The decor is nice and clean - typical, classic wood grain throughout. I would come back, but probably order something else. read more

normally don't write reviews but my experience tonight I need to write one ... I've never felt such a racist environment first of all once we were seated our waitress was catering to only people she knew our drinks took forever and our appetizers took over half an hour is like she forgot our table people that came in after us got faster service from her and it was basically people she knew we had to ask another waiter for our food it was unacceptable she's lucky she received a tip only because my cousin wanted to give it to her I felt ignored and I never experienced this at other restaurants will not be going back the food was execellent but If your service isn't great it's irrelevant read more

We really like trotters and the live music is always a bonus. The food is fine and the atmosphere is a lot of fun.

Cute little bar/restaurant in Franklin Square. I was recently here for a baby shower in the private room. Room was large enough to accommodate our group but too small for anything over 30 or so people. Food was absolutely delicious. We had the baked ziti, chicken parm, and steak. Our wait staff was great and made sure everyone had what we they needed the entire time we were there. The actual restaurant area looked small and this appears to be more of a bar than anything else, however, the food is a reason to go back. Drinks are strong. There was no music playing in the private room but unsure if that's what the planner requested or not. Bathrooms are tiny and one stall in the ladies room is missing a hook but hey they're clean. Not a bad spot if you're looking to grab a drink, some food, or host a private event. read more

Just had my 50th Anniversary party there this weekend and it was absolutely perfect. The food and service were great. The party room is very pretty. We went back the next day to pick up something we had left behind and had dinner there again. Another perfect meal. Portions were so generous we have wonderful leftovers. Originally went there for a few paint nites and ate there before. Fell in love with the restaurant then. And even though we don't live close, we will gladly come back. read more

Bar was very what you expect. Waitress was very nice and helpful. The patrons were loud and i loved it. Back at home with the fughetboutit. Now the food. Great. Drunken burger was to die for. ALOT of food. Spinach dip was great. Will come again and recommend to anyone. Price was expensive but not unbearable. read more

I have been a fan of this place for a while but tonight was really disappointing! We had a 7 pm reservation and by 8:35pm we still have not been served. we have had our waitress before. She is terrible!!!! She pushes the specials and tells us "its Saturday night don't worry about the prices" or "don't you want a special?" when we don't order one. Tonight was extreme. We waited so long for any attention. Service was really bad. My brother and his girlfriend will not come back here! If my brother gets the same waitress he will leave and his girlfriend is just not coming back at all. We have really liked this place but tonight was a huge disappointment and it seems to be a lot on the waitress. The other tables were paid attention to, but we needed to track down our waitress (helen) for water and drinks and didnt get served.. and then i waited 1 hour 35 minutes and paid $25 for a very bland meal. Don't get the shrimp scampi! (Picture) I'm not a mean person. I've worked in a service role for most of my career. That waitress should be trained in customer focus or let go asap. 2 customers lost and 2 more open minded are on the fence just because we've had good experiences in the past. So sorry to say. Owner/manager take note! read more

Probably my favorite place to eat by far. Service is amazing and there buffalo chicken wrap is amazing.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE E V E R ! IF I COULD GIVE THEM 0 STARS.....I WOULD! THE MOST HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH FOOD DELIVERY IN MY LIFE! ORDERED TWICE IN THE PAST 3 DAYS AND BOTH TIMES MY FOOD ORDER WAS WRONG! EXTREMELY WRONG! I CANT eat cheese and specified so. I clearly indicated on the online ordering form to NOT put cheese. and I even CALLED IN to make sure they understood my directions and to state I CANNOT have cheese..... WHAT HAPPENS!?! I get CHEESE smothered ALL over my order. granted they were gracious and apologetic and replaced it with the correct order. HOWEVER waiting an EXTRA 15 minutes wasn't in the game plan and as a consumer I shouldn't have to wait for food while the rest of my food waits in the kitchen getting EXTREMELY COLD and further and further from optimal freshness. but it doesn't stop there. gave them a second chance. ordered the SAME exact items. 1. they over charged me for extras that they did NOT charge me for in the prior order. 2. they claim they were charging me $2 for an extra bbq sauce and honey mustard. NO EXTRA BBQ SAUCE! NONE 3. they charged me for substituting cheese for eggs. when I received the sandwich I was NOT given the kind of eggs I specified. EVEN THOUGH I called in again to make SURE they knew EXACTLY what I needed as a customer. my food was STILL wrong! 4. when I received the food it was a disheveled mess of onions and meat slapped together. NOT AT ALL WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE FIRST TIME I ORDERED -_____- my eggs were cooked through like scrambled eggs! they were SUPPOSED to be very runny sunny side up. (FYI.....I CANNOT eat cooked through eggs they make me very sick...just as cheese makes me sick!) 5. when I called in to let them know my discrepancy I was met with extreme attitude. and was told specifically that "only uncooked eggs make people sick. not overcooked" (I was basically told I was a liar and that he knows MY body and medical history better than I do) 6. I was told by the manager in his exact words. "DONT TELL ME YOU DIDNT GET YOUR ORDER THE WAY YOU WANT IT. WE ONLY MESSED UP ON THING" ...... I did not know that managers were allowed to speak to their paying customers with such disdain. WORST ATTITUDE AND RESPECT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS EVER! SO PRETENTIOUS! SUFFICE IF TO SAY....ii will NEVER be ordering from this "establishment" again. GRUBHUB WAS SOOOO DISMAYED AT MY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.... THAT YHEY CONTACTED THE RESTAURANT AND GIFTED ME A FREE $15 OFF PROMO ON MY NEXT PURCHASE. *if not for grubhub I would be left with a VERY BAD taste in my mouth...literally* read more

Came her for a surprise brunch party and I must say, I was very impressed! This is a bar, but they have a nice party room in the back that looks nothing like a bar. Service was great as they took drink orders before the guest of honor arrived. Shortly after, the buffet was setup. They had staff to serve each of the stations and the food was actually pretty good! For a bar, this place was great. Service was good, food was delicious and the room looked great. I'm definitely keeping this place in mind for the next time I need to throw a party! read more

Ordered on seamless, I think compromises the food a little with delivery time and lack of presentation but the food was still good! The stuffed burger (+ mushrooms) was cooked well and not overloaded and the fries I couldn't stop myself! The bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers was in interesting take, but I didn't enjoy the flavor of the sausage inside. Could see us stopping by if we want a bite to try it out fresh. read more

I had dinner at Trotters last Thursday night because I heard good things since it opened. Our waitress was nice enough to seat us 20 mins bfre the kitchen closed. I ordered a reg cheeseburger, which was filling and fries, which were seasoned well. I wasn't impressed with their craft beer menu or cider/gluten-free selection (few to none options). But the service was quick, the staff is friendly and I'd def stop in for a late night drink and snack again. read more

No matter what I order it's excellent!! Prices good too. Try it once and you'll come back!!!

Really cool spot on Hempstead Tpk. Bright and roomy interior with a boatload of TVs all around, esp. over the bar area. Choose from bar seating, regular tables, or high top table. Staff are friendly and the menu has a lot to choose from. The nachos (we subbed in grilled chicken for the chilli) and my BBQ burger were both exceptional. The nachos were generously portioned with loads of cheese melted to perfection. The burger was cooked to a proper medium and had a lot of flavor. On Saturday nights they have a band playing starting around 9pm (which you may not be a fan of if you're trying to have a conversation at your table). Be prepared to hunt for parking. We tried for at least 10 minutes to find a spot out back and finally got lucky as a metered spot opened up just across the street on Hempstead Tpk. Overall, the food, atmosphere, friendly service, and easy viewing of games on all the TVs makes Trotters a spot I'd definitely come back to. read more

Helen was our waitress Saturday night. She was terrific! The service was great and her personality was delightful.

Only had some appetizers and they hit 2/3, which is not bad! May have been the best Coconut Shrimp I had in my life, fantail down. The Chicken Q. Was very good with fresh condiments to Compliment, and although I had high hopes for the In-House prepared Jalapeño poppers, they were nothing special and had something in them that we did not enjoy. Staff and Servers are great, and I will be back. read more
