This place came highly recommended and i decided to take my mom for her 79th birthday. i cant tell you how disappointed we were. i had the Shepards pie, it came in a skillet with a ball of mashed potatoes in the middle, and anybody that knows how to make Shepards pie, this is not even close.It had beef with carrots and the peas floating around the ball of mashed potatoes along the sides of the skillet. The peas were under cooked. my mother had the beer braised short ribs that came with vegetables, the short ribs were very bland and the vegetables were over cooked. we had the irish spring roll as an appetizer, the cornbeef had no taste and you had to dip it in the mustard to get some sort of flavor on your palate. All in all a total disappointment and i will NOT recommend this place to anybody. Karve this place off your list on places to visit. P.S the waitress was the only pleasant experience. read more

Karvers is so good, I love to come here. Between the drinks and the food everything always comes out just right. I got the taco bowl which was amazing and bigger than I had thought it would be, I will probably go back and get the same exact thing. I can't remember the name of my drink but it was delicious as well, I definitely recommend! read more

Love the food & drinks! It's loud but worth dealing with the noise for the good food & fun atmosphere.

Always great and consistent food and service! Our go to when we have a babysitter. It can fill up so would suggest making reservations.

Pretty cool neighborhood bar. I hiked out here from Nassau county to meet up with a friend, and we deccided to check out this place as we were impressed with the yelp reviews. Place itself reminds me of a outback steakhouse: casual, with a nice sized bar, with 3 tvs, extremely friendly and attentive staff. For a weeknight at 830pm, the place was more than half full. Drinks were pretty good: my friend had a cocktail (can't recall what it was),but she confirmed that it was strong and tasty. I stuck with beer: seems they have an extensive beer list. We shared some apps: honey bbq boneless wings and the Karver's fries (garlic and butter fries), both were excellent. We pretty much stayed until closing. I was completely impressed by how the barstaff did not rush us out, instead jokingly offered us more drinks. If I'm ever around the area again, I will come back and try a full dining experience. read more

Went last night for my husbands birthday. This was the 1st time we have been there, we loved it, food was great service was great. People there were very friendly and helpful. We had the option to sit inside or outside. We first decided to sit outside but it was just too hot, decided we would wait for inside, we were seated fairly quick. Loved how the manger was visible and talking walking around welcoming everyone. Our food was great and I appreciated the honesty of our waiter on what food was good. We will absolutely be back. Definitely worth the price of dinner it wasn't overpriced at all. Oh and they did a good job spacing people out for social distance. We will absolutely be back. read more

Okay- this restaurant was already on my top 5 list, after tonight it's my #1. The menu is phenomenal- so much to choose from and anything I've had so far was delicious. Tonight, we came on a Saturday night (prime time). The place was packed and we had our 10 month old baby- originally we thought it may be too hectic. Wrong. We were seated in an area with such a nice space for the baby. Food was as great as always but my real review is about Shane- our waiter. He was truly unbelievable. We had our son in a booster seat and he asked if the baby would like some watermelon. I said yes we would love that- Shane not only got the watermelon. He had it cut up and deseeded. When we received our bill he did this complimentary. So thankful for this- kept the little guy busy so mom and dad could enjoy their meals. This might seen like a small gesture but we have been tons of places and never had anyone do that for us. We had a great night! Thank you Shane and thank you Karvers! read more

Old timers at the bar. Great food. Old timers atmosphere. Chicken and red pepper sandwich is my fav. Flat breads are awesome. I asked the server what his favorite thing was and of course he picked the most expensive item. A for effort but could've been more receptive. I was there for lunch not a huge dinner meal. read more

Stopped at Karvers after going to a wake I kept seeing ads about the place on FB It was crowded on a Sunday the service was great the food was amazing esp the Irish spring rolls The have a great rum punch and two different sangrias can't wait to go back The bartenders Liz and Kylie were super friendly made great drinks and no one waited for a drink they were on the ball Thanks ladies we will see u soon read more

Been here a few times now. Came here the other night for dinner and got the lamb burger. Portions were great size, was able to get onion rings instead of fries, and even left with leftovers. No appetizer needed. Service was fast and good. Great in and out pub grub. Insistently good spot to hit read more

My friend Pete raves about this place, so I had to try it! We didn't have a reservation (didn't know you needed one) but was seated quickly. It was a Tuesday night and the place was packed. The place is very loud and the tables are on top of each other. The waiter was polite but took awhile for him to take drink orders but the place was packed. The menu has a small but decent selection with an even limited special menu. The wife and I ordered the Nachos for an appetizer and it quickly came out. Probably the best nachos I've had. Cheese, chopped up tomatoes, guacamole and fresh jalapeños. I ordered a French dip and my wife ordered a Chicken schnitzel. My wife loved her meal from the gravy, to the warm kale and the chicken with the ham on it. The French dip I was disappointed in. I had high expectations, especially since Karvers, I'm expecting good roast beef. Not so much...the beef was dried out, leftovers and the au jus didn't really help. It had a hint of horseradish which I didn't expect or care for. Casual dining but with a big ticket cost. The meal was about $70 w/o tip. Not terrible but not great either. read more

Went for lunch today the place very nice inside Food very good service was excellent Our waiter was great and very efficient great service definitely recommend going there Nice local place read more

Karvers kicks King Kong ass when it comes to affordable wine and dine without breaking the bank the food is Great! Especially the Kaver Yummy Get your Kavers trust me you will love it . read more

I recently took my son to lunch at Karvers. The food and staff were off the charts ! Reservation was made and when we got there was ready and waiting ! Girls at the front desk are so inviting. We requested a high top booth which is by the bar. Again, we were accommodated. John did such an excellent job adhering to COVID protocol. Everything was clean, masks worn and he even took away all the chairs at the bar to avoid any gatherings. That in itself, gets my vote for a family friendly restaurant that cares about their community. Thank you John and staff for making us feel safe and feeding us the most delicious meal. And for all of your donations of food to first responders during the COVID shut down. You guys worked endlessly donating and delivering food to those that barely could take a break !! You guys are AWESOME !!! Our community is so very lucky to have you ! read more

I've been meaning to get to Karvers for a while now, but havent had the opportunity. So when a group of friends decided to go out for a "date night" I jumped at the chance to suggest this place. After reviewing the menu online (which is pages long and chock full of amazing dishes) everyone agreed that this was the place. Now, we need to eat early to catch our movie, and there are 10 of us, so we make a reservation for 4:30. When we get there I'm expecting to find a half empty restaurant because, well, it's 4:30pm, but instead it's full and very busy. Glad we made a res. We wait no more than 5 minutes and are quickly seated. Our waiter was very attentive. He made very specific recommendations based on what we said we liked and he was dead on with all of them. We were a large party and they handled our orders as best you can hope for that big of a group. Some of the delicious food we tried: fried pickles, fried artichoke hearts, calamari, nachos, the Mardis Gras salad, steak, scallops, pasta, spare ribs.....everyone was happy and satisfied. We were too full for dessert. Thank you Karvers for helping for making a much needed kid-free night perfect! Definitely try this place. You won't be disappointed. (But also, definitely make a reservation.) read more

Love karvers. Quality food- must try the short rib! Great service and great environment. Also, great happy hour!

There was an issue with my food that was easily resolved by the staff without a problem. You can tell they really care about their customers and their dining experience read more

Kerry is absolutely amazing. Definitely deserves a raise of some sort for all the work she puts in. Definitely coming back!

My fiancé and I went there on a Sunday afternoon. The crab cakes were so good although I wish it came with a side sauce or more of the drizzled sauce on top. My fiancé had the pretzel app which was good too we didn't particularly like the sauce it came with. I made my own urger and my fiancé ordered one from the menu. The burgers were good the drinks were tasty the service was also good I would recommend this place. read more

SWEET CAROLINE Wow, I'm not even sure where to begin with this review! Karvers Grille is seriously one of the best places I've gone out to eat in a long time, and that's saying a lot coming from someone who works in the industry! Caroline, our server, was one of the funniest, most appropriately attentive servers I've had in a really long time, and she truly made dinner feel like a white tablecloth kind of night. The interior is cozy and you can really tell the owner has put his all into making the restaurant look as good as it's food tastes! While it's definitely a hidden gem of Holbrook, Karvers Grille is definitely a spot worth searching for. Definitely would recommend read more

Pretty good place if you're in the neighborhood. The reviews looked great so I said why not. Clean environment, great drinks and even better food. I tried the signature karvers' burger with rum punch to compliment and it was a hit you can't go wrong here. Will definitely come back and try something different the next go around. read more

We live a half hour away and make the trip often. The food is absolutely delicious. Everything we have had is tasty. Everything is fresh and the place is very nice. This is our 2nd time this week! Don't leave without a slice of peanut butter pie. read more

Karver's never disappoints. Everything and anything I have tried on the menu is always delicious! Awesome drinks! The staff is always friendly and courteous. Their curbside is very convenient and food is always ready on a timely fashion. read more

Excellent meals and fast service. I was initially going to give this restaurant 4 stars since this is where my wife first met her boyfriend, but that wouldn't be fair to the cooks and staff. read more

Most delicious French onion soup I've ever had! I can't wait to come back to NY and go here again. Everything was great.

Love the atmosphere and the menu is one of my favs in Suffolk county !!! The drink prices are great too this place is thumbs up all Around ‼‼‼‼‼ read more

We took my handicapped brother here for his birthday and had such a great experience. My brother loves to say hi to everyone! From the people who work there to everyone that walks by. The staff was so nice to him and even when we apologized knowing they were busy each and everyone who passed took the time to wish him a Happy Birthday and made him feel special. Our waitress Emily was great and made sure we all had drinks and that we all were enjoying our food. The manager even came over to make sure we were enjoying our experience and genuinely wanted to make sure we loved everything. Can't wait to come again . read more

Great service during a time like this with drive up and staff wearing gloves and masks. A pleasant experience from calling in the order, receiving its status, to picking it up, and ofcorse enjoying the food. Everything tasted great from the food to the drinks. This was the first time trying, but it wont be the last time enjoying. Thank you!!! read more

Well this place has earned a rare 5 star from this Yelper. Ended up here when the wait list at Outbacks was over an hour and I have no regrets. Came in and was seated Immediately. Service was lighting quick. The drinks and appetizers were on our table 5 minutes later. I had the Benedict Ribeye ( never even heard of this before ) with the vegetables and the potatoes. The meal hit a home run. The wife had the linguini and seafood and devoured the seafood in seconds. The linguini was enough for 2 people and most of it stayed behind ( the order was huge ). I really liked the decor and the vibe almost like having a great steak in a bar hidden away where everyone knows one another. The only thing that I can even put down that was a little bit negative but not enough to lower the 5 stars would be that the drinks are a little weak. 2 kamikazes and didn't feel a thing. Wife had 2 margaritas with the same results. But I am anxious to come back and give them a second chance to get that right. Let. Me be honest I see myself coming back multiple times and giving them multiple chances . Good job Karver's you were a pleasant surprise. read more

Tried calling to place an order but the message just kept on saying "they're on the phone, try calling back later." Tried calling the number many times but always the same message. Finally ordered online and the email said 20 to 40 minutes and if there's a problem they would call. Went there 30 minutes later and pulled up to the takeout parking space. One of the guys their said if they didn't call yet pull back and wait for the call. Waited for 45 min then asked someone what was the deal with the order. Said they were very busy. Waited another 30 to 40 minutes and finally got to talk to someone else and said oh it's ready. We tried pinging you. I said pinging me, the guy said he would call and so did the email. When I did get the food it was ice cold. For $70 you expect the food to be good and hot and on time. Ordered through GrubHub on 4/17 at about 5:45pm read more

Delicious food, crab cakes shepards pie, onion soup, big pretzel, rainbow cake. And drinks are great too!

Amazing food and atmosphere. I highly recommend anything short ribs! Don't forget Karvers Fries!

Had an excellent experience at Karvers. Had a reservation for 6:30, ended up having to wait almost 20 mins because the previous party hadn't left yet. TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT. Upon entering I passed a few tables with some great looking dishes. We had the mac & cheese fritters, Irish spring rolls, and fried calamari as starters. The fritters and calamari were great but the spring rolls stole the show. Everything I like wrapped into an roll! Highly recommended. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to eat but ended up splitting a Baja Burger and a Karvers Burger with my dad. Both burgers were excellent, with really great and creative toppings. Our service was great as well, with helpful and timely staff. At one point we had the owner come to our table and and ask how we were doing. We spoke with him for a few minutes and he made sure to tell us to let him know if we needed anything. Very friendly and helpful. Excellent experience at Karvers and I'll be sure to come back! read more

came here the other night and WOW. our server was awesome, very informative and the food was spectacular.

Went here for a guys night out, the food and drinks were awesome and the wait staff very attentive.. The Irish Egg Roll, is a must the entire menu is packed with great eats... I wasn't disappointed, it lived up to the hype for me I hope it does for you.. read more

Tonight was our first time at Karvers. My family and I had a fantastic experience. From the very first encounter with the hostess, till the end of our meal. Every staff member was attentive, and we truly had impeccable service. All of the food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. We had our two toddlers with us and they we so kind and caring to our girls. We will definitely be sharing with our friends and family how great Karvers is. We will definitely be back! read more

We picked from here last night. The ambiance was nice, but if a rustic feel. We ordered the fettuccine alfredo, mac n cheese with pulled pork and a mardi gras salad. Me and my friend both got the fettuccine alfredo with chicken and we both thought it was lacking. They made the sauce very thing and I prefer a thick creamy sauce. I thought the tomatoes would be diced but there were chunks of tomato which would work with a tomato sauce but not alfredo. The best thing about this dish we're the random chunks of cheese throughout and I wish they had put more. The mac and cheese with the pulled pork looked bomb and my sister in law said she enjoyed it. All in all I would try this place again and maybe go for something more along the lines of BBQ. read more

We happened upon this spot accidentally and glad we did. The waiter was friendly and gave such great recommendations. I'm not a calamari girl, but so glad he recommended it- so good. The ribs were AMAZING. Will come back. read more

I know this is a really bold statement, but in it's class of casual dining, Karvers is definitely one of the best restaurants on Long Island. There's several factors and so many details to take into account when really considering a rating but to me, these are the ones that really keep me coming back. First, atmosphere. The atmosphere is perfect for just about anything casual. First date, causal lunch/dinner, family dining, drinks after work... Keep in mind, the bar area especially Happy Hour times, do tend to be loud, but that's a given. The music is always great, as everyone is always kind of bopping their head or singing to classic tunes that everyone knows and loves. The seating is comfortable and spacious, to where you're not sitting on top of your neighbor. The warm wood decor is inviting with just dim-enough lighting; perfect to where I don't need sunglasses but can still see the food in my plate. Several TV's are going with 2 or 3 various sports games/shows but at the same time, positioned in a way that they're not distracting. My husband and I love the booths at the bar because they're much higher, and have very comfortable foot rests. Then, service. I like to use OpenTable before coming to Karvers, even if it's just last minute. When we walk in, the hostesses check us in and are happy to seat us at our requested booth at the bar, even if we have to wait a few minutes for one. The bartenders are very quick and make incredible cocktails. I had a coconut margarita tonight that was just delicious. One we are seated, the wait staff is super friendly and area already bringing menu's and water to the table. They're fast, informative on the menu, never keep you waiting for anything, and are always thorough and correct with the orders. If the kitchen does make a mistake, they're very quick to offer a change or rectify the issue without hesitation. Next, management. I think the managers name is Franco. What a great guy. He's such a hands-on manager that truly appreciates your business. He's always running around the place saying hello to people, asking if everything is going well, running dishes to/from kitchen and overall just making sure your're happy at his place of business. Truly a hard worker and very professional. The Drinks. My husband loves the extensive list of beers on tap. I always love the cocktails. They're always the perfect combination of not too sweet, the right amount of ice, and alcohol. Happy hour is Monday-Friday until 7pm, when there's $2 off specialty cocktails but I never make it in time to take advantage of it. The Food. In a word, outstanding. We've been coming to Karvers since they opened a few years ago and we were just saying tonight upon our visit, how we've never have a bad meal here, let alone a mediocre one. Overtime we're at Karvers we rave to each other how amazing the food is. Tonight I started with the the Mussels Fra Diavolo appetizer and between each mussel I slurped down, I would tell my husband how they were the best mussels I've had in years! Hub started with the boneless wings and didn't say 2 words to me while he was eating because his mouth was stuffed. I had the Shrimp Tequila salad from the Black Board Specials menu and it was incredible! I'll be craving it for the next 2 weeks now, I'll try to do the copycat recipe at home and fail miserably... My husband had the Karvers Burger entree with the homemade chips and he said it was amazing. I did try the chips though, they're always sooooo good. They're big slices of fried potato slices and they're so crispy and tasty. It's such a nice, unique touch that Karvers offers. Fries are so basic and standard everywhere, the homemade chips are where it's at. Lastly, value. Between a few drinks, 2 appetizers and 2 entrees I think we spent $70. Though cooking is one of my first loves, I couldn't make dinner at home for 2, for less than that and I don't have to cook and clean up afterwards. Additionally, portion sizes are generous and priced very fairly. I honestly don't have the slightest negative thing to say about Karvers, or even any suggestions. I really think this place is a perfect, well-oiled machine. Please don't change a thing! read more
