Chicago burger and fries
Juliette P.

We brought a group of soccer playing teens and their parents here between tournament games. Though we didn't have a reservation, they had ample seating and televisions with games on (mostly American football). Everyone ordered and the food came out relatively fast. I had a burger and fries which wasn't at all greasy and my husband had a wrap. The server was a bit overwhelmed by all of the people she needed to serve but was courteous and got us what we needed. The bathroom was very clean and nice too.

We went to the Johnny McGorey's in Lynbrook, but Yelp didn't have a listing for that location. This was our second time at this location. The first time we sat at the bar. The draft beer was cold and delicious. I had the. Thai Chili Chicken Tacos -very good, and my husband had the chicken tidbits with side salad - also very good. Service with the bartender Jen was excellent. The second time we also sat at the bar. Nicole was the bartender and she was great. My husband had a draft beer again, nice and cold. I had a margarita- excellent! We ordered the sampler, the wings were too well done as were the potato skins. The cheese sticks and tenders were good. I ordered the beef stew. It was very good, but it was more a soup than a stew. My husband had the Philly cheesesteak and salad and he liked it. We'll go back and give this place another try! I didn't think to take a picture of my food, but I took a picture of my margarita!

This pretzel is so good, and enough for 3 people!

Love the drinks, really get the job done, but the waiting service ended by the time we got there at 9 on a saturday, only a few bar items available. Staff is friendly and food is good, try the pretzel, wont be disappointed. Repeat customer :)

My family and I visited Paddy's Loft on July 3rd, and we had such a lovely experience…read more We've eaten here before and always enjoyed the food, so we decided to come back, and we're so glad we did. The restaurant has a cozy, rustic Irish charm that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. Our server was wonderful--friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely pleasant to talk with. We also loved her accent, which added to the authentic Irish pub atmosphere. The food arrived very quickly and was served piping hot, clearly fresh from the kitchen. Everything our party of three ordered was delicious, and everyone left happy. What really stood out to us was how kind and accommodating the staff were to our 90-year-old father. They made him feel welcome and took extra care to ensure he was comfortable. At the end of the meal, we believe the owner stopped by to ask how everything was, which was a thoughtful touch. The staff also allowed our father to use the floor-level exit and kindly held the door for us when we left. It's becoming harder and harder to find restaurants that combine great food with genuinely warm hospitality, but Paddy's Loft delivered both. We left feeling appreciated as customers and are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!

Great local, irish cottage pub that features some rather good food and drinks…read more Been here a few times and always pleased with everything. The French onion soup aswell as the potato soup is very good. Their wings and burgers are also very good, as is the Ruben. They have a bar side and a restaurant side, both of which is nice.

We wanted to go to Jam in Massapequa, but when we got there was a sign saying they are now part of…read moreThe Good Life a block away until they get their new place. It's nice to go to someplace new to me. It was hard to find parking because of all the snow from the 3rd snowstorm that is still not clearing the streets and sidewalks. Hubby dropped me off and found one. It's a kitchy looking place with many TVs and multiple levels. The door to the place looks like an English phone booth with 2 dialup phones in the entryway. Our waiter Joe was very nice. The girl who sat us gave us our menus right away. I had to wait for hubby to park, but I had time to look over the menu. All the choices sounded good. Hubby wound up with a Spinach Benedict with Roasted Tomatoes with nicely Crispy fries and a lemon Benedict sauce to die for. I got a Avocado Toast with Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onions on whole grain toast. The Arugula salad that was also on the plate was covered lightly with a lemony dressing. I added Cholula Sauce and it was so good. Another point I'd like to make is that the bottles of hot sauces were clean with no cruddy tops. That turns me off so good for them. I would definitely go back.

Haven't been here in a few years but returned because the food has always been consistently good…read more Tried the pesto chicken sandwich (minus the bread). It was basically a deconstructed sandwich. Good flavor overall - could've used a little more pesto, but the mozzarella tasted fresh and was soft. Service was not the best, but I'll still go back when in the area.

Located in…read morea strip mall at the corner of 107 & Hempstead Turnpike Jackie Reilly's is the quintessential neighborhood Irish pub. Good size bar, big dining room with some very comfy booths (bonus for a big guy like me) and a menu that's not too expansive but runs the gamut of standard pub far. Beer was cold & definitely fresh which is always a plus. Baked clams were hot and quite tasty - some people don't care for the chopped variety but I actually like them this way and they were very flavorful. Wing cravings were one of the main reasons I came - having seen a good review from The Wing Scout I gave them a go since I was in the area. Opted for the medium and the Thai Chili. The flavor was there, they were indeed crispy on the outside, but the internal cook was very inconsistent. Some were insanely dry, others perfectly juicy. It's a shame because the sauces were quite good but getting them with a mouthful of dry chicken took away from the experience as did not knowing what was to come on the next one. Maybe it's a day shift thing, who knows. I'd probaby give them another chance at a busier time to see if they can bring their A game or if the high mark wings were just for the social media exposure.

This place has a nice old time feeling, it's clean and the service was pretty good, our food was…read moregood , I had the Gaelic Steak, it was cooked nicely and it tasted good. Nice neighborhood spot.
