    View from outside dining area

    Great staff, great atmosphere, live music, great prices. See you again very soon! Outside dining is breath taking. Food wasn't top tier but everything else made it really special.

    Fish & Chips

    Went here when I went to the rockaways one day and it had great food, good ambiance, service was very friendly, the manager was very accommodating, and I loved the vibe. Plenty of TVs to watch the games. It was a little chilly the day I went so I sat inside but I would love to return in the summer and try sitting in the big outdoor space. Will definitely be a repeat customer if I visit the area again.

    Seafood shrimp pasta

    The food was good minus the crab cakes for me, too much bread hardly any crab and the flavor was off. The baked clams was flavored so good but to wet for me...I like more grilled. The seafood/ shrimp pasta was ssssooo good. The grilled salmon was ok but needed seasoning. The mussels was excellent! The waitress was so adorable and attenative. The view was nice we sat outside. There was alot of seating and he vibe was calm. They had live music and good drinks. I will be returning.

    My friend and I came here after being at the beach all day and were seated outside. It was really nice until the sun started setting and was making us way too hot! All of the servers were really nice and the vibe was cool too with live music at 6:30 PM. For food, we shared the chips and guacamole (8/10 addicting tortilla chips and the guac was decent but refreshing) and the fish sandwich (8/10 for sandwich and 7/10 for the fries). I did feel like everything needed more salt added. We also got the cucumber cooler as a drink and that was super refreshing! A table near us had the Mac and cheese balls but those looked kinda dry? And sad. Overall a great beach bar/restaurant to hang at!

    I've been here a handful of times and always forget to snap pics and do a review but not this time! Great neighborhood restaurant to watch the sunset. Bungalow bar is big and spacious, with both indoor and outdoor seating on the water. Expansive menu, many things to pick from. I usually go with the fish sandwich but this time I did the burger! It was delicious and juicy. Frozen expresso martini was good but a little on the weak side. Service was fast and friendly and they have a good playlist going on in the background.

    The views from the deck dining is amazing. The wait time for our table was pretty long since we wanted to dine outside. The hostess was very nice! Our waitress seem to forget when asking for certain things such as a straw and a refill on drinks so had to ask a few times other then that this restaurant is definitely worth the try. As for the food I will say we all enjoyed our food. The pasta was fulling and we had to wrap some up to take home. The steak was cooked perfectly and the scallops were on the money. Drinks was also good! Would recommend this restaurant to others so if you're in far Rockaway check them out.

    Bungalow is one of my Far Rockaway favorite summer time spots. It's always a vibe. On a most recent visit, I met up with 5 colleagues to catch up while we are on summer break. We ordered appetizers for the table: flatbread with cream spinach dip, quesadillas, and fried calamari. The spinach dip was my favorite. For drinks, two of us tried the hibiscus refresher and those were so bad we immediately sent them back. The hibiscus never surfaced. All we tasted was an overkill of lemon or lime juice concentrate. We eventually settled on a what was a hard lemonade which was also pretty basic. As such, I've concluded they really need to bring in an expert to refresh the drink menu. For entree there were able 3 of us that had the shrimp tacos and we agreed they were just ok. The other girls thought their food was also underwhelming. Here's my recommendation: go for the ambience and sunset vibes which is 10/10 and keep your expectations of food and drinks at mid level.

    SAUTEED STRIPED BASS

    The family and I had a wonderful lunch all together (10 of us) for my aunt's birthday. The servers did a great job taking care of us! Everyone's orders came out just right, and drinks taken care of. The pitcher of white sangria was tasty; chock full of oranges with some lemons and limes, it was fruity, but not too sweet. The food itself was very good; from the simple pretzels, and guacamole and chips, to crab cakes, then the pan fried striped bass, everything was delicious. This is a perfect place for a casual drink, or a leisurely celebration, with an excellent view of the water. Just be mindful that parking can be difficult to find.

    Came here again for my birthday. Catherine our waitress was an absolute sweet heart. Everything was delicious and this time there was a live band. Bring back the dog house drink !!!!

    I've been coming to this restaurant for years. I'm surprised I have never left a review. After today's visit, I felt I really needed to. The food was really good. both my mother and I got French onion soup. I loved it because the cheese was so good. They definitely used Swiss or maybe Gruyere. my mother's shrimp scampi was yummy. I liked my warm lobster roll (Connecticut style ) $32. it was served with a little cup of coleslaw and some potato chips in a bag. The lobster roll itself was pretty small. I think for $32 I would've preferred maybe fries or something. A salad maybe. The place looks really good. Inside is cozy and casual sophisticated. They have a cute little potbelly stove. And it's decorated nicely They have a nice outside seating area. This is what people really come for. The bathrooms are very clean. The staff are professional and polite. this is definitely one of Rockaway's primary restaurants.

We ordered the calamari, mangosteen salad, and the branzino. The calamari tasted like it was not seasoned and the meat was a little more tender than I'm used to. The sauce it came helped with the flavor but you definitely need a good amount of it. The mangosteen salad was OK ... think I would have preferred the papaya salad. The pla lui suan (branzino) was quite good and I liked it very much - size was enough to share since we already ordered apps. Service was fine and wait staff gave us plenty of space to leisurely enjoy our meal.

    The we came in looked at the menu which looked very very good…read more The place looked even nicer/ clean/ nice band playing and the view was amazing as well. The service was definitely great everyone always walked by and asked if we are good or not. The drinks were great as well. Then came the curry puffs barely tasted like curry and dough although not bad but a bit undercooked. Then came the grilled calamari. ZERO flavor!! But the sauce wasn't bad so we had to ask for extra portion to drench it. And the whole thing was a really nice big portion BUT fully hard to chew, undercooked, the thin lining was still around some pieces and pulling as you tried to chew through , and the whole thing was just hard to chew and eat. Maybe 6 rings were ok to chew and were cooked through but zero excuse. We still want to come back and give it another chance but I really hated that we wasted a meal trying so under satisfying. Let's see.‍

It was a little far for me but parking was easy and it was a nice night out . They have a parking lot but I usually go for the street when I can . As we approach you can hear the music see the locals having fun and it was fairly busy . TV's everywhere ! Every sport you can imagine . My daughter and I shared some apps and had a beer or two and some soft drinks . The pretzel was just ok nothing to really rave about . The chicken quesadillas was really good enjoyed that the flavor was robust . The nachos my daughter mostly ate that's what she wanted most . She said they were good maybe just a little heavy on the cheese ? The service was good she was very nice and checked on us a few times . Noise level is high so not a place for conversation but that's ok it's a sports bar pub type so it was expected. The prices were fair and overall it's a good joint . I imagine a hot summers night and kicking back with some cold beer and some nachos or wings . Good location could be a bit sketchy but the clientele here is def all rockaway and I mean all rockaway ! I would give it another try in a setting as I mentioned a Hot summers night !

    Disrespectful, never answer their phone, have awful bands play mediocre music late into the night…read more Food is bland and as uninteresting as the people who run it.
