An oceanside classic. Good vibes, good food, great staff. Never disappointed in my meal here. And they almost always have live music in the summer! read more

After eating here for years (more times than I can count), I was shocked to realize I'd never reviewed EGP Oceanside. It's the "sister" restaurant to EGP Land and Sea in Island Park, NY--and honestly, both spots deserve your business. EGP Oceanside is a big step up from your typical local pub. The food quality, presentation, and menu choices really speak for themselves. On my last visit, I had the French Dip from the specials menu--somehow even better than the French Onion Dip I usually go for. Mussels (Black Pearls) are always a winner. If you want to eat a little lighter, the EGP Salad with caramelized d 'Anjou pears is fantastic. Their wings can go toe-to-toe with anyone's, the burgers are crazy good, and my all-time favorite sandwich, "The Thick Chick," better never leave the menu (same goes for the Steak Tidbits). Everything is made fresh, and the owners and servers are always friendly and welcoming. In the summer, the outdoor space adds another bar and often live entertainment, which is a great bonus. Great selection of craft beers. Plus, there's plenty of parking in the back. Just a consistently great place to eat. read more

Went in to order lobster Mac & cheese to go. The lady who took my order was friendly & told me I could sit at a table as I waited. My food came out within 5 minutes. I love getting the lobster Mac & cheese here because they're always generous with their lobster portions. read more

Perfect experience last night with friends. Drinks, food, and laughs - they even had some live music by the bar which enhanced the vibe. Very good service too - you can tell they care. That's huge. read more

Nice place with good Beer and wings. My friend and I sat at the bar. We had a good time.

Great food, loud atmosphere, good service. French dip sandwich with Onion Soup dip was delicious. The roast beef was perfectly cooked. The French onion soup dip equally wonderful. The bread was too soft to hold together so the sandwich was difficult to eat by hand. The tacos also looked great. The ambiance was bar like. There was a band playing in a tent next door making it a bit loud at times. It's a great place for food. read more

My Cousin had just married the love of his life and on the Sunday following were hosting a brunch for some of their relatives and closest friends. It was also the Bride's birthday. The location they chose was the EGP Gastropub, a place that I had never been to before which always makes me approach such happenings with added interest. As our group was on the large side, we were seated in what I guess is their party room and that is adjacent to the outdoor patio but with the skies being very gloomy and rain pending none of us went out there. It would eventually pour down rain but we were all safe and dry in the side room. The bar was an open one and the breakfast was a buffet. It featured the usual stuff like eggs, sausage, pancakes, waffles and bacon. I recalled a pasta dish but for me that never mixes good with a breakfast option. Everything tasted great and I made sure to go back for seconds. Staffers Victor and Karen were assigned to our group and as a result I never saw an empty drink or a messy plate laying around across the time we spent in the restaurant. Talk about fast and friendly, they did the place proud. I think there were about 40 of us in all and that is a lot to keep fed and hydrated. There was also a complimentary WiFi for patrons to use which was a bonus. This was a good time for sure but since I am very seldom in this part of the Island, I can't say for certain if I will ever be back there. If I am this is surely going to be a suggestion to whatever group I am a part of. Nice work friends. read more

Came here for a family brunch. The food for very average and the waitstaff didn't seemed trained on the menu. We had four waitresses while eating and each one could not answer our questions. The vibe is nice and the restaurant itself is very clean. read more

Food is more about presentation than quality. The food wasn't bad, I just feel a slacking quality ingredients. Waffle fries or overcooked and crunchy. read more

I'm going to keep this review short and sweet because merely thinking too long about the meal I had last night at EGP Gastropub will keep me up all night in hunger pains. Oh what a glorious meal it was. From their crunchy, cheesy and gooey deliciousness Mac n cheese balls to the tender, juicy and savory enigma that is their French dip sandwich.. not a single morsel was spared last night. Oh and how could I forget their nachos (sans meat). The combination of pineapple and jalapeño kept my taste buds perfectly on balance and ready for the next bite. On the way out to our uber, we walked through their bar, which we didn't even know was there! Everyone at that bar seemed to be having a great time as they were all smiles and laughs. The next time I come here, I'll definitely be asking for a seat there. read more

Came for brunch with my girls on a Saturday morning. We got there right at opening and it was pretty empty as we sat there the customers were strolling in. The music was on point with old school joints. The unlimited brunch drinks were good and strong ! And I like that they don't force the whole table to do it. On the brunch menue we shared the deep fried French toast with Nutella Duce de lèche and caramelized corn flakes. It was delicious even though we got to it way after it was popping hot. I had the EGP grilled cheese which was good for 3 days afterwards for me. Sadly the fried green tomato was not a green tomato and I missed that crunchy part of the sandwich definitely shareable. My friend had the chicken and waffles which were well done and chicken was well flavored. Then lastly was the lobster Mac and cheese which was tripped with fried cornflakes. My friend raves it was creamy and full of lobster !! Overall it was a great brunch portions are huge !!! All can be shared. read more

I don't recommend this place at all! I went in yesterday afternoon; service was fine. Food was terrible!!! We ordered philly cheesesteak eggroll that tasted microwavable... Got the steak tidbits that had no taste and were soggy. Even the beer tasted "off" read more

Went to see a favorite band & have been to the EGP in Island Park & always had a great experience. However though the food & waitress( a friend asked us to sit with them after the following happened) was good in Oceanside the manger, Donna was a very nasty person. I and all the people around were disturbed by her attitude to the lack of stools at the outside bar. We all wanted to have dinner & buy drinks & sit at the high top tables outside since there were no tables inside, She told me in the nastiest & offensive way that if I didn't like there were no seats I could just leave, I had taken a stool from the back of the bar, that had a ripped seat that no one was using & she came outside & told me to get up & took it away. Not what I would expect from a manger. Very disturbing.... Not wanting to ever go there again... read more

Once I've tried their Burger, since then it became my ONLY place for BURGERS!!! I do recommend this place for Burgers. Tasty and Delicious. read more

Saw this place on Instagram and decided to try it out. We were quickly seated. The appetizers were amazing. I heard that the burgers were the best part but i wanted to try something different. ( i should've listened). The lobster roll was just okay, I thought it would be saucy but there was a lot of mangoes. Wasn't notified that the kitchen would be closing early and couldn't get dessert so we just got... Ordered: 1. Lobster tacos - bite size (my fav) 2. Philly cheesesteak egg roll 3. Lobster roll dinner special 4.poutine 4. Salmon-crab burger Might come back to try a burger. read more

Great meal! Amazing Service! EGP Oside is a great spot. Took wifey for a Friday date night around 8. The place was packed with groups of families and friends celebrating birthdays, graduations and, like us, the weekend. We arrived and were seated within seconds, even though it was packed. Our server was there in a flash and we had our food in front of us in about ten minutes. I have to say everyone working at EGP is super warm and the service is great. We had the steak tidbits and French onion sammie with fries and onion rings. Both were very good and the portions are as well. There's a main dining room as well as a large bar and outdoor area. I would def recommend for date night or large group get togethers. read more

Had a great chicken sandwich meal with waffle fries. Very cool place with both indoor and outdoor seating. Food came out quick and the staff was great. Had prices for both cash and card. Give it a try. read more

We ordered delivery from EBP and boy was it quick. We expected 30 minutes and they were here in 20. No complaints here. Everything arrived warmed and well presented. All was received highly with the exception of the nachos. Even though it was not what we expected, the Tuna was delicious. We will visit them in person for the real dining experience. read more

We came upon this restaurant by accident, needing a place in Oceanside to meet. Was very pleasantly surprised ! They have a good menu,i ndoor, semi indoor and a beautiful outdoor patio! You could have the brunch menu or lunch menu. With the brunch menu you can add a $10 u limited drink. They have many vegetarian options available. Staff were friendly and attentive. Portions good, dishes very tasty, and nicely presented. Someone had the outdoor patio for a 40th birthday party , which is the perfect setting on a beautiful day. If I lived closer, I would frequent this establishment often. Outdoor patio is a great place for a party or shower. There is a large parking lot in the back, for convenience. read more

I've had EGP on my bucket list for awhile now since relocating back to Nassau County. Last night I was invited out and can officially cross it off my list. Oceanside is home to many different spots to dine and EGP brings a different pub vibe. EAT kind of reminds me of Micheal Mina's Pub 1842 in Vegas. Their menu is super rich in gluttonous bites such as their famous Philly Steak Egg Rolls (I'm an addict !) and Mac Spheres (fried Mac and cheese balls). We visited after 10 expecting to sample a full menu but unfortunately we could only choose from the Late Night Bites menu without the full kitchen staff working. Our waiter/ bartender was awesome. He was very helpful with suggesting menu items and service was perfect. For Labor Day weekend, it was empty. We had the entire patio/ beer garden area to ourselves. The patio area is impressive ! It's large and perfect for a nice outdoor brunch. The artwork added a dope artistic flair. The area of the restaurant seems ideal for hosting a edgy private event. We decided to sample a few apps including the Philly Steak Eggrolls, BuffaQ Wings ( a mix of buffalo and barbecue sauced Wings) and the Mac Spheres. Everything was tasty and not fried in heavy oil. The Philly Eggrolls were moist, crispy, flavorful and the cheese sauce it was drenched in really packed on the cheese part of the Philly steak. We paired our apps with Long Island's of course and The Governor's Mule. The Mule was very refreshing. The presentation of the food was also stellar. I'm definitely coming back to rock brunch on the patio and to sample the full menu. read more

The food here were just alright. We love poutine so when we found out they have poutine on their menu, we just had to get one. Well, the poutine was a disappointment. It is not bad but it is definitely not poutine. It's just fries with gravy and melted cheese, no cheese curds. The pretzel mac & cheese were just alright, a bit bland. Service was good. Our server were friendly and polite. read more

I'be been to EGP Oceanside many times over the years and always had the best food, service, and times with my family and friends. The appetizers, main courses, desserts, and ambience are all great. The ambiance is pub-like with a great bar menu and tasteful musical entertainment on some weekends. One of my favorite dishes is the giant pretzel to start or the best steamed mussels anywhere- that or the crispy and tender wings. The mains I have enjoyed include: the chicken pot pie, an array of burgers or steaks and delicious seafood. Do get the churros with a dark chocolate caramel sauce on the side and fresh whipped cream. Kristina is a great server as are all of the staff. read more

Mason jars of iced water with straws!! Chocolate porter on tap! Great big pretzels! Friendly service! Chicken burger special with crispy onions and buffalo/bbq sauce. Served hot and juicy! Veggies on the side: cauliflower and carrots with honey sriracha sauce! Very tasty. Lobster Mac and cheese. Hot, creamy, lots of lobster! So happy to be eating here and will absolutely be back. Still love this place. Great burgers. Beer selection. Nice cocktails. Moscow mule and old fashioned!! Great service. Thanks Ryan for putting up with us and my husband's burger request and Lenny's diet cokes and diet cokes and diet cokes. You were funny and friendly and helpful. read more

EGP's food is tasty with generous portions to boot. Their burgers are some of my favorites ever and the service is always great. Location in the middle of town is convenient and best part is that their food is good either in restaurant or as take-out. read more

Pretty good. The food here is decent. I think this is one of those places that gets the reputation as "THE beer bar" in the area because of the flaunted "24 taps" on the outside sign. The beer selection is surprisingly just decent, as they didn't have many interesting taps, mainly just the staples. Food was definitely good. Big burgers and sandwiches, mac and cheese, the works. No complaints about the food. The place frequently hosts parties in either their backyard or party room, which I'm sure is great, though it takes seats away. We came here on a beautiful Saturday evening hoping to sit outside but they were still cleaning up from an afternoon party in the yard and couldn't seat us outside, which was disappointing. I'm sure I'll be back, I drive past EGP all the time, but I have more gastropubs like this closer to home so it may be a while. read more

Great place and food the staff is amazing and got the food out to you in less than 10 minutes.

Sangria was delicious and sweet just the way I like it. The appetizer pretzel was great to share with a group. The burger and fries I got were absolutely delicious. Will be coming back to try more things on the menu! read more

Went here for my cousins birthday brunch and loved it. You can literally drive by this place and never even know it's there, but big mistake! Once you enter there will be a bar to greet you and tables past the bar. And they also do private parties. Enjoyed the unlimited drink special they had going and my chicken fried steak was on the money. Everybody's dishes looked great. Prices are not bad for eating out, and you definitely get your fill at this place. A recommended must go. read more

A good friend suggested we meet after work at EGP. I hadn't heard of it, yet checked menu to figure out what I could eat. Veggie burgers, especially those that are house made, can be a crap shoot, but I decided to give it a shot. We found a table not far from the bar. Our server was very pleasant and had no problem customizing my order. The moment of truth. As she placed my veggie burger and salad down, I had no idea where it was all going to go! The house made veggie burger was topped with fried onions. This was not your garden variety grocers burger; this burger was huge and delicious! The first onions were a tasty touch on a flavorful, hearty burger. I was glad I ordered a salad instead of fries as I could barely finish my meal. EGP made this vegan happy! read more

I have been coming to EGP - for years and I loved it in the past - but not so much anymore. When I first reviewed it almost 7 years ago - I gave them 5 stars - now I am being generous with this updated review and it's 3 states. Food is decent - but not as creative as prior years. Service seems to be lacking the professionalism they had when first opened. Drinks - blah - big drop off. When they first opened - they had a large assortment of beers - this time my husband struck out on first three request - either out of stock or kegs needed to be retapped. Prior mixologists knew their craft and made a good quality NYC styled cocktail. This time - a kid referred a book to make a drink I've ordered 100x before at EGP. Not sure what's going on here but they kind of lost me. read more
