    Cruising and stopping for fish and chips.
    Manuel C.

    Small hidden gem on maintain highway. I always have passed and wanted to stop and finally one day was today. I was cruising in my classic car just having me time and I stopped and had the cod fish and chips. It was so good. I talked to Kathryn/ Kathrin and Patty. I had a nice cold pumpkin beer with a rum and just had a nice time. I really want to give this small place a nice review as they had very good food and company. I felt like I was in Montauk. I will be back with my family. Thank you. Manny

    Cute local joint on the South Shore. Food was delicious. From the appetizer to dessert everything was great. The waitress was wonderful too. Everyone talks about the main course, but the lowly side was a standout. The homemade Cole Slaw is not to be missed. Can't wait to come back and try dinner.

    Fried clams and potato salad took

    Really impressed!! Hubby had amazing calamari! Sauce was spectacular. Super fresh! His fish tacos were to die for. I had the stuffed clams. OMG!!! Soooo good!! Fried clam strips were hot and yummy. Potato salad took me back to my childhood. Strongest Long Island Iced tea I've ever had. Great for the price!! Don't walk but run to this spot. AMAZING and fantastic food and staff!!

    Fried shrimp plate without fries because I up charged for a salad.

    Great server and attentive runner! My mom has been on a lobster roll mission. She has had 3 in one week! This was the third and she said it was by far the best. I had fried shrimp which had a cornmeal breading. The shrimp was tasty and not at all oily. The baked clams were not super flavorful. Chicken tenders were prepared like the shrimp and were a hit. The place is kind of a time capsule-it is tried and true amongst the locals.

    Fried sea bass

    I ordered fried platter-sea bass. It was very good! As you tell by the picture! Husband got a lobster roll-good taste very fresh but really small...average 5$ per bite. Grilled chicken Caesar salad was fair. Service was 4/10. Sat outside....ambiance eh! Could use a wash down of the table! Overall rating 6.5/10

    Clam with red sauce

    Place is a gem hole in the wall discovery in Bellport. Small eat in place. Service was friendly. Food was good. Small portions compared to other places. For the menu my only critique is they don't have the price for the lobster roll listed. I could have asked the waitress of course, but to my discover as I was awaiting my food to arrive was they had a small white board on the wall with "lobster roll" 36 which means $36 lol. Please just put it on the menu for full transparency.

    Wow what a great place for dinner! I got the Baymen special and got a ton of food for the price. The mussels were incredible and I could almost drink the sauce. My brother got the steak sandwich, and while the steak was great I wouldn't call it a sandwich. Will be coming again when in need of some good seafood!

    Baked clams

    I love seafood. Traveled and lived all across America, Europe, and Japan. Varney's is a total hidden gem. The service is friendly and welcoming. The place extremely cozy and welcoming. Now the star of the show is the food. We ordered baked clams, mussels, and lobster roll. I was impressed with the freshness and taste. Never judge a book by its cover. Like many other reviewers, Varney's is one of those places you want to share with everyone and hope it's only there for you. I urge you to come share this experience with this family owned restaurant. I will be back when visiting Long Island.

    Food is good, but the place needs to be cleaned big time. Tables and chairs are sticky. Dishes and silverware are disgusting. Lots of flies.

Thought we were going to be outside on the enclosed patio and knew it was going to be raining so we were thrilled to be seated inside by the fireplace instead. Price fixe was $65 pp so a bit steep but the bottomless drink options definitely helped. We enjoyed everything we ate and the service, restroom cleanliness and atmosphere were all on point. Will def return!

I ordered a simple cheeseburger with nothing other than the patty, cheese, and lettuce to wrap it in. Was also given a side salad, which I asked for just lettuce, nothing else. She ordered a cheeseburger cooked med/rare, with everything expected to come with it. The entire time we waited for our order to go, the owner was at the bar staring us down, and made us feel uncomfortable. We left as soon as our food came out, which was unusually quick. We left to go eat at the marina down the street. We opened the bags and saw that we didn't get what we ordered. My salad had crushed croutons mixed in with the lettuce (I'm gluten free for medical reasons) and I couldn't pick them out. Her burger was well done, no bun, and the food have her a stomachache. On top of that, they didn't give us any cutlery or napkins. Our food was given to us in black tied plastic bags, and we didn't check because we were ready to leave due to the passive aggressive hostility of the owner and the other customers eating by the bar. Our orders combined came out to $45, plus her tip. We ended up throwing out most of the food. This was my friend's first, and last time coming to Avino's, and this is my last time. Overpriced low quality food that the staff can't get right. Don't eat here.

I had asked for horseradish to go with the fresh oysters initially. after he ran my card and took the payment the 1st time i noticed I didn't get the horseradish so the employee looked at me and said $2.00 plus tax and credit card fee. I clearly didn't have cash just my debit card so he proceeded to then ring me up for the smallest container of horseradish and then taxed me again twice on the purchase ! In addition to that when he charged me for a everything he forgot to charge me for the oyster which I pointed out the amount didn't seem to add up it seemed to cheap so he checked and he realized he didn't so he then ran my card a 3rd time with both tax fees. I was beyond words I just spent well over $300 and you couldn't say it's okay no worries doesn't that usually come along with fresh oysters lemons and cocktail sauce.... I would come here all the time but after that experience I'm not even sure anymore. Something as small as that turns away loyal customers because after it's all said and done you should have included the condiments with the purchase.

Upon entering I was greeted by what seemed to be the entire staff, which pleased me me . The decor is classic and dimly lit. Making the atmosphere very intimate and inviting. We were greeted by our Waiter(not a server) who diligently explained the evening special. He took our cocktail order and listened intently because I I am a particular customer who demands my Martini just so, in other words....a pain in the ass. The bartender actually came to our table for me to make sure he made my Martini correct. Wow! My Bride Robin ordered the Classic Country style chicken , I ordered the Duck which was usually served with a peach chutney, I asked if the chef would be so kind to make me a orange glaze sauce , he was more than willing to do so. Needless to say both dishes were impeccable and wonderfully prepared. After our main course I ordered a Sambuca with coffee beans and we both ordered the Crème Brûlée garnished with fresh Raspberries and a spearmint sprig. voilà voilà voilà!!! This dinning experience was comparable to the best houses in Manhattan if not better. I am a traditionally trained Chef and I was obliviously beyond impressed. It is my personal opinion that this restaurant is an incredibly hidden culinary gem here in Patchogue . I implore you to not let the opportunity to dine here pass you by. To the owner and entire staff... I say KUDOS to a job well done . Thank you and you may look forward to seeing myself and my family in the very near future.
