Moved to south shore Nassau County a few months ago and am struggling to find any restaurants or dishes I find myself needing to come back to. I’ve found everything (sans Blackbird Kitchen in Wantagh and various local bagel and pizza joints) perfectly average at best. Is this area totally lacking? What am I missing? What are the local hidden gems that will have me walking away dying to come back?

Every place that sells fried clams seems to only have strips. Is there any place that has whole fried clams? Preferably western Suffolk but I'll travel

Please share your go to deli spots across the island ! Much thanks

Title says it all. Looking for a new chicken roll spot. Craving a great one today.

Looking for great place to get king crab legs. All areas welcome. Focus will be western Suffolk but willing to travel.

Is it just me or is the food in Suffolk absolutely abysmal? The price points are not matching the quality, service etc. There’s a couple restaurants that are worth the expense and some I cannot understand for the life of me how they’re still in business. There’s some that are fantastic during happy hour but wouldn’t dream of paying their regular menu price.

I’ll take recommendations for places to add to my list! Please and thank you!

**Here’s my favorites:**

Tellers (during lunch and hanging at the Gold Bar)

Salt and Barrell (during happy hour for oysters and cocktails)

Birdie Bar (for the vibe and bar)

View (for the view and happy hour drinks)

Thai Station Cafe (authentic food)

Green Hill Kitchen (10s all around)

Little Creek Oyster Farm (10s all around)

**Here’s my non favorites:**

Whalers - went downhill after they removed the live music from the deck and can never play anything on those TVs outside. Service is frightening, the girls at the front need a class in basic hospitality. It’s a shame because the food is solid but I refuse to do it anymore

Babylon Social - overpriced chaos, nothing further

Jackson Hole - I don’t even know what to say about this place. The definition of highway robbery. Everything was bad and it’s a mob scene on a Monday night. I can’t understand it

Pace’s Steakhouse - overcooked seafood, poor reservation system (I liked the service so would try again but generally overhyped)

Tres Palms - a travesty food wise with a beautiful view, good staff and a stiff drink

Where are the best pints of Guinness on the island?

I wanted share a project I’ve been working on that I think this community would appreciate and hopefully find useful. It’s a website called foodiecheatsheet.com and its goal is to make finding happy hour deals, daily specials, and restaurant events as easy as possible to find.
This all started because I got frustrated searching through tons of instagram posts or facebook groups or restaurant websites for good deals. I knew there had to be a better way to find these specials but every time I looked there weren’t any websites that accomplished this, so I decided to create it myself. I don’t have any experience building websites so this was definitely a learning experience for me. Any feedback, suggestions or even restaurant recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
Looking for small size (chicken, cheese, fish, veggie) sandwiches.

Not White Castle either

Thank you in advance!

Since leaving the Northeast I have been searching for New York Deli potato salad. Not the one with egg and other stuff, just plain potato salad. The kind that every deli has.

I cannot find any that comes close.

If anyone has a recipe you will have my eternal thanks and blessings.

552 Franklin Ave, Franklin Square, NY 11010

For reference, I’ve had Umberto’s and I liked it. I’m open to both Nassau or Suffolk! (Also, I don’t judge people who aren’t vegan 🫶🏻 ) Thank you!! 💛

I am proposing to my girlfriend this Saturday at 2:30… I need some restaurant recommendations? Her sisters are a bit of picky eaters as is she lol. Looking for something along the north shore of Suffolk county that won’t break the bank as I am playing for everyone . Any and all recommendations are appreciated!! TYIA

Any diners in the area that still have paper placemats with their logo on them? It's a weird thing I collect and we're here for the week.
