Came on a rainy evening so couldn't enjoy the outdoor seating (disappointing MDW!) but the food was…read morestill pretty good, specifically the crab cakes app and the lobster with broccoli rabe. It's rare to find vegetable-forward dishes that aren't salads in these types of establishments so I really enjoyed that one. Decent spot to have dinner before (or after) the movies, which we did. Didn't really like how loud the music was blasting but great service.

Batesys is a barbecue restaurant in Rockaway Beach, just a few blocks from the beach. I stopped in…read morewith a few friends after a beach day on a weekend, and it was a great spot to grab some food and drinks. We started with the Henny Colada, which is an excellent spin on a piña colada. We got the regular size ($13 each plus tip and tax), but you can also get a 25 oz. version packaged in a can to take to the beach, which is a fun option. For food, we ordered a few sides to share: the cornbread, coleslaw, and potato salad, along with a pound of brisket ($32) and a brisket sandwich. The brisket was very good, flavorful and tender, and the barbecue sauce was also very good. The sides were well-priced, enjoyable, and easy to share, and they complemented the brisket nicely. We sat outside, and the service was quick and friendly. If you are in Rockaway, Batesys is definitely worth a stop, especially after a day at the beach. Very much recommend!

There wasn't that many options for what we were looking for so we ended up here. We wanted seafood specifically, but when we asked they did not have what we wanted available even though google maps told us they would. Sad. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the brisket and shrimp skewer. The bathroom always has a line. People come in regardless if they're customers or not to use the restroom. The whole time I was inside (45-ish minutes) at the restaurant there was a line. I gave up and just ended up using baby wipes on my face instead of washing it.

I want to start this off by acknowledging the staff. We were greeted by the owner who was such a…read morenice guy. The rest of the staff were phenomenal as well. The outdoor seating was so nice. Multiple TVs. The owner asked the kids what they wanted to watch. He put on Disney + & the kids enjoyed Toy Story. I had the Roadhouse roast beef sandwich. Really good. My wife had the Tex Mex Salad which she brought some home, because it was good and couldn't finish it. I think this is a great spot to grab some lunch & possibly watch a game on Game Day. Highly recommended. Two thumbs all the way up.

I've dropped by here a few times for a cold beer after a race on the boardwalk to cool down and relax in the sun. They have a small but decent enough beer list, from Coney Island pilsner to Bud, to Kona Big Wave and a few others all under $10. Also, some canned beers such as High Noon and Goose Island IPA. I skip eating here as most of the menu is unhealthy but they do have some healthy things such as a few salads and fruit bowls. I've found the service here to also be ok.

Then it's self serve for whatever your stomach desires. I'm a huge fan of seafood and soul food so I grabbed some salmon, chicken and broccoli, fried rice, lo mein, and some salad.

We ended up at our neighborhood buffet, which has been around since my high school days. There's something nostalgic about walking through those doors again. I'd fully planned to snap pics and do a proper foodie breakdown (charged my phone and everything!), but once we were seated, all bets were off. The food? Not five-star, but it's fresh--and that matters. The high customer turnover keeps the trays rotating constantly, so nothing ever feels like it's been sitting. The fruit station gets points for presentation--everything looked washed and vibrant (though I gave a few pieces the side-eye just in case ). For under $30, it hit the spot. Not a gourmet experience, but perfect for a low-key, satisfying outing. It's nice to have a go-to place that's stood the test of time, and still delivers on value.

Food: Waffle Fries [5/5] The fries were crispy and delicious! They weren't over the top salty like fast food chains. There was a good portion of fries given the price of them and it also came with some yummy sauce (tastes like honey mustard) and they were quite filling! I'd get them over the regular fries but my friends got regular and cheese fries! Although I didn't have any of their food they seem to like it! Fried chicken sandwich w/ American cheese [5/5] I had a hard time picking what I wanted to eat but when I saw the sandwich on the tablet it caught my attention. This sandwich was so delicious! Every time I took a bite out of the sandwich I got a crispy piece of chicken and a new flavor in my mouth not to mention the American cheese added a little bit of sweetness to the sandwhich I one hundred percent would get this again and I highly recommend! It also came with a pickle! Ambiance: [5/5] Soup and burger is located on the pier of sheepshead bay, so not is it a 7 minute walk form the train station you're also near the water so you get a nice breeze while sitting outdoors not to mention the outdoor seating is beautiful. The entire restaurant has so much color to it especially since we went around 10pm with the lights on. The restaurant is very spacious on top of that. it's honestly really beautiful! Service: [5/5] The service was phenomenal our waiter Asli was very kind and fast with our drinks/food. One thing I really enjoyed was the tablets used to look at the menu. I feel that it's really up to date and not so old fashioned since most places still have actual menus you use to determine what you want to eat. You're also given images to see what you're going to be eating which I find really cool for picky eaters such as myself! TLDR: If you're on a late night stroll near the docks looking for a meal with friends stop by here it's well worth the time and money!
