I get something different every time I go here and have never been disappointed. I especially enjoy bringing friends and family who've never been, and I have always been thanked for sharing this gem! read more

Gave my $90 worth of food to someone else from the pickup spot. I had to wait for them to prepare the whole order again. The food is decent but overpriced... service is below average. I never understand how this place is crowded. read more

Ate there for the first time with my family. Food was bland. Service was horrible, over charged me for drinks then when asked about it upset that I caught. Asked for desert to go but brought them to the table. The waitress just wanted to go home. read more

Great restaurant, I really enjoyed the menu options as my wife, son and I struggle with our tastes being so different. Service was decently paced, they payed attention to get the food out while it was still hot. Ambiance was a please family restaurant, little loud but not overbearing. Layout probably helps break up acoustics. Parking lot is a little chaotic, back into your parking spot because people fly through it. read more

Fantastic! My wife and I went there on a Saturday night recently. The place was packed. Very nice crowd. We grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender Stephanie was fantastic! The menu was really great. Our only problem was deciding what to have. I ended up with the pork chops, and my wife chose the fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken. Both amazing! The menu is very detailed with a lot of selections. The appetizers and drinks were also fantastic. Can't wait to go back. We fully recommend this place to anyone Looking for a great meal and a nice night out. Fantastic atmosphere , great people great food. These days with inflated prices and subpar food, not to mention less than stellar service this place is that true find . Head there for a great night! read more

The calamari, fried pickles & fries were amazing!! The dipping sauce for the fried pickles tasted a tad off for us for some reason but without was just fine. We got the penne (large serving!), and the Greek Lamb burger which was sooo tasty and juicy, the white sauce with the feta was a great touch! Burger was a little soggy but everything else outweighed. Was too full to try dessert but definitely will be coming back! read more

Love this place! Every time I go it's always a great time. Food is plentiful, servers are on point. It's always clean and neat. It's so easy to find. The manager comes around to see how things are. Very nice! Being close to my home is a plus! I'd give this place 10 stars if I could! read more

This was my first time here. I came here by myself on a rainy afternoon after work and sat at the bar. The bar was divided into glass partitions because of the pandemic. I ordered the Karver's Signature Pasta: fettuccine with Alfredo sauce . I added some grilled Cajun shrimp, which turned out too spicy. LaFonda served me. She went to look for the manager Kim, who replaced my order with spice-free grilled shrimp. It was delicious. However, I could only eat one third of the entire dish, which was huge. To drink, I ordered the Mango Creamcicle--mango puree, vodka, triple sec and Coco Lopez. It was served in a plastic pouch that the restaurant started using for to-go orders when the quarantine began. LaFonda says that the pouches became so popular, the restaurant decided to keep using it. I skipped dessert because I was so full from the drink and my meal. There are at least ten television screens. ---really! This restaurant is also located in a large retail strip mall that has free parking. Karvers is definitely worth considering if you are looking for good food in a vibrant atmosphere. read more

Probably the best patty melt and french fries i have had.. I moved out of NY years ago, and while the burger and fries were amazing. It's kinda a weird place. It's a bar and grille setting, but the food is all over the place. I feel bad for the kitchen staff, it must be a terrible place to work, behind the line with such a huge menu. Don't worry i am a high tipper.. read more

Moved my son into an apartment in Lake Ronkonkoma last weekend. We wanted to find a place to get a beer and a bite. Karvers fit the bill. First off it is a lot bigger than it looks. Outstanding beer selection. Great food. We had a giant pretzel for the table. My son had the mushroom risotto, wife had a great burger and I Had the shepherds pie. All were great. 5 minutes from my sons place, I'm betting we will be back. read more

Um, hey Karvers. I don't know if anyone has told you this before but you spelled "carver" wrong. It's totally okay, I won't tell anybody, especially if you keep doing all the amazing things you did the night I visited about a month ago with my lady and our friends. For starters, thanks for being on Open Table. It just makes things a little easier on a Saturday night when the place was bustling. And what a nice little place it is. Like some kind of tavern/bar/road house/grill all rolled into one. The vibe going on (with live music happening towards the end of our meal) was pretty welcoming (albeit loud-ish). Before we even had a moment to peruse the menu, our extremely friendly, personable, and entirely on point waitress came to our table. She was impressive from start to finish with her ability to never waver at any questions asked, especially when accommodating one of our friends with an ingredient change (despite some interesting wording on the menu). She also gave my buddy and I a tiny taste of a beer on tap before we ended up with a full pour (Gun Hill in the house!). Rockin'. Ya know what else was rockin'? The menu. I mean it hits on a ton of different types of cuisines with nice twists on a few food favorites. For instance, the Mediterranean flatbread that my girlfriend ordered was more like a pizza, donned with grilled chicken, olives, cucumber, tomato, feta, tzatziki, and just a whole lot of tastiness. One step back for a moment as I have to mention the slew of appetizer options. A little Bavarian pretzel action along with some fried pickle spears set this edible evening off wonderfully. Okay, now back to the main course. The Dutch Man was my choice (yes, it had a name) and he consisted of a beef burger topped with smoked gouda, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, and pecan bacon. What a great combination of creamy, earthy, sweet, and salty flavors that contrasted and complimented each other wonderfully. Sweet potato fries on the side hit the spot and rounded out this meal. Well, it almost rounded things out. That night my lady was hankering for some dessert, and when you see the words "rainbow cookie cake" you can't say no. And if you can say no, one bite will make you never say no again! An absolutely perfect slice of heaven that my girlfriend is already bugging me to go get again. Overall, Karvers Grille is a nearly perfect food establishment nestled in Holbrook which, might I add, a lot of Suffolk friends hadn't even heard of it until I asked them if they've been. All that means is now they need to get their keesters over to Karvers so they can revel in the glory of eating here, regardless of how things are spelled. read more

Yesterday I had my daughter's baby shower at your restaurant! I can not express enough how phenomenal everything was! Diana was so warm and helpful from the very start of making the reservation for the shower back in the summer and she continued to provide excellent communication as the date got closer and yesterday for the event itself. Chris, Emily and Andrew made the event seamless! They were incredibly professional and helpful and seemed to anticipate our needs before we could even ask for anything! The food was also absolutely delicious and your staff and kitchen were so accommodating to all dietary needs--vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free! Everyone raved about the party and I couldn't be more grateful for everyone at Karvers for making it an absolutely perfect beautiful day!! read more

Food was amazing can't wait to come to try something else off the menu! Gone twice and each time just amazing from service to the ambiance just amazing. read more

Karvers is standing the test of time as that location changed hands several times before Karvers came in and saved the day. I heard so many good things about this place from the Holbrook community and my parents frequent this place as wellOn my parents next visit I made sure I was able to tag along for the ride. We walked in and the place was hopping. Instead of waiting for a table we scouted a spot at the bar. We found a tiny spot with room for only one. After about 10 minutes the bartender gave us the heads up when someone was leaving. He got us in at the end of the bar where the three of us could fit. I was super appreciative of how attentive he was to everyone at the bar, even though he was manning it himself. Another great surprise was their happy hour! It last from 11am-7pm, Monday through Friday! How can you beat that. Their happy hour includes $6 appetizers and drink specials. I ordered a sangria, which was very good, and a huge pretzel to share with my parents. The honey mustard with the pretzel was my dip of choice. Following our starter, I ordered a turkey club sandwich. This true key club did not shy from piling on the meat. From the fresh turkey and pecan bacon (yes I said pecan), this sure was a hearty sandwich. I need to also shout out the bartender who not only gave us a heads up as to a vacant spot, but knew the menu inside and out and was able to guide us to what we should order. Super personable (I would hope he's a bartender) and knowledgeable! Excited to dine in for my next experience at Karvers! read more

The food was ok, nothing special, but tasted ok. I had the French dip sandwich and the roll was broken and could not be eaten as a sandwich, but it tasted fine when eaten with a knife and fork. The sandwich came with a salad which was big and tasted great however the dressing is given on the side, in a small plastic cup, which was half full. I asked for some more dressing to finish up my salad and it was promptly delivered. BUT when I got the bill they charged me a dollar extra for the additional dressing. Come on, there's about ten cents worth of dressing in the cup. I don't mind spending money on good food but I hate to be NICKELED AND DIMED. $19 for the sandwich - just give an extra salad dressing when requested. I may go back but hate be charged for every little thing when I'm paying a lot for basically bar food. The ambience is nice but it gets very loud making it difficult to have a conversation. read more

So, we were looking forward to trying someplace new for lunch. Needed to get out of the house! We ordered the Nachos with pulled pork. And I had a delicious chocolate martini, so yummy. My husband did not enjoy the house cheese sauce, I thought it was fine. He really does not care for BBQ sauce and the pulled pork was BBQ sauced. I thought it was fine. He does not like multi colored chips, they don't bother me. Rather than sandwiches we decided to share two more appetizers. We ordered the fried artichoke hearts and the flat bread pizza. The fried artichokes comes with a very mild garlic aioli, I thought is was fine. My husband found it all too bland. We ordered the Bacon Chicken Ranch flat bread but we got the Smoked bbq chicken flat bread. I thought it was good, way too much bbq sauce on it for my liking. My husband was very disappointed as I stated earlier he really does not like BBQ sauce. Perhaps if we had gotten what we ordered he would have been more content. BTW- I checked the receipt, the waiter did put the order in correctly. Must have been a mix up in the kitchen that led to the incorrect flat bread order. Glad I tipped the waiter correctly. read more

What not to say about Karvers. Someone had recommended my family and I here a few years ago and we was not disappointed. I can't believe it took me this long to write a review. When you walk in you are always greeted by a friendly hostess and depending on when you came you may need a reservation, but not most of the time. The decor and ambiance is just right not quite but not loud nice and dim. Big bar along with booth seating and table seating. They also have a private room in the back for events from what I notice. I think by now we have tried the menu. The food is always consistent and always fresh. I honestly can't complain about any food options here. Trust me you won't be disappointed. One of my favorite is the lam burger I must admit it's amazing if you like lamb. The menu has something for everyone even picky eaters. We come here for family dinner or and sometimes date night or even a social hour with friends. I'm telling you. You can't go wrong with this place. They also sell gift cards for all occasions. read more

So visited this very popular Holbrook restaurant for the last time last night. I've given negative reviews, for the exact same reasons, in the past. The owner actually replied. We've gone twice since then - same issues every time. Here's what happens - 1. The door manager DOES NOT BELONG in a people business. Rude, abrupt, unfriendly. 2. The food is good - not great, but good and quickly served. 3. Last night the manager came 4X to the table wondering when we'd be done. On the last two visits he went to our waitress and asked her to (a) give us our dessert menu (we had eaten 4 apps and hadn't ordered dinner yet) and then (b) to give us our bill. (We were still drinking and a beer had just arrived) 4. Our waitress was awesome and understood what was happening. 5. They have lines every night. Looking to 'Churn and Burn' - don't go here if you are : eating with family, looking to catch up with friends, if you talk at dinner. 6. Sit down. Read menu quickly. Order. Drink fast, eat fast. Pay your bill. Leave. 7. On top of the 4 visits from our angry manager a young lady with an iPad came by 3X marking her seating chart as she passed us. The pressure to leave was amazing. Our friends were embarrassed. Off to Blackstone's tonight for a better meal and real First Class Service. read more

Food is great. I had the Mac and Cheese bites and the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and my friend ordered the traditional Wings and Short ribs stack with mashed potatoes. The service was excellent. Our waitresses brought us refills in a timely manner and checked up on us to see how we were. The Mac and Cheese bites were actually a little disappointing which is why this review doesn't get 5 stars. They just taste like fried dough balls; the mac and cheese flavor is definitely missing. The buffalo chicken sandwich, however, was very good. The bread, the chicken, the sauce etc. I did try one of the traditional wings and they were very good. Definitely one of the better wings I've had. I will definitely be coming back to Karver's to try their other food! read more

Came here for lunch with family about 5 years ago, don't recall being impressed then. But, decided to try it again last week. Here's my review: Onion rings seemed to be straight from a restaurant depot. They were "ok", but honestly, it reminded me of a larger version of Burger King onion rings. Crispy and cooked fine, but they were a $3.00 add-on, not worth it. Was expecting a freshly battered type of onion ring. Gotta do better. Fries tasted average, but more more enjoyable than the onion rings. Nothing special. Caesar Salad was boring and not worth $6.00. Weak flavor, cookie-cutter. Have had better at many places elsewere. The french dip sandwich was actually good. Meat was good, and the horseradish sauce was a nice compliment. The bread was also good, not too hard, but perfect. French onion soup was good, but not worth the $8.00 or $9.00 they charge, maybe $6.00. Mac n cheese was "ok". The environment was welcoming and clean. Bathroom was clean. The female server was very friendly and accomodating. Overall, the quality of the food was "ok", but fell short in the areas mentioned above. There's lots of competition out there, and for the money, they could do better in improving the food quality. Overall, it's just "ok", but not so sure "ok" is good enough for us to come back and spend hard earned money when you have places like Drifters and Southpaw who offer better food for the same price. read more

Came here for a work dinner. I ordered the half rack with mashed potatoes. We had the nachos as the appetizer. The nachos were good but I like them with just salsa so if you like cheese and peppers it's fine . I asked them not to load the ribs with the glaze but the glaze was still too much so I scraped it off. The meat itself was tender and juicy. The mashed potatoes were your standard fare and the cole slaw was decent . The grand finale was the dessert and I thought it was great. I had the lava chocolate cake with chocolate ganache inside and it was warm and not loaded with choc syrup. It was surrounded with whip cream and the syrup was drizzled on the whip cream. Let's just say I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to chocolate lovers, and my friends enjoyed their cheesecake. Overall it was a wood paneling type of decor but tables was clean , waitress was nice read more

We've been to Karvers a few times since my last review and it has always been consistently good. Today I met a few friends from work for lunch and we all had another great time at this restaurant. We made a reservation and as soon as we all arrived we were seated right away. Our server Kerry was awesome from the moment we sat down. She came over took our drink order and then asked if we had a time restriction so she could get our order out right away. We told her we did not, so she came back when we were ready to order and was just so great and friendly. She continued to check on us to make sure everything came out the way we wanted, but she never made us feel rushed. We had a really great relaxing lunch with excellent food! Their soups are so delicious, we had the broccoli soup which comes with the meal, or you can have one of their salads instead. They were decorating for the holidays when we got there and the place is looking really nice. We will definitely be back around the holidays to check it out. This is a really great place to have great food in a casual, friendly atmosphere, and you can also go to watch football since they have nice size televisions all around. I highly recommend checking this place out...you won't be disappointed. Thanks Kerry and Karvers for a really great afternoon! read more

The food was terrible, we ordered the scallops that came on a mound of watery angel hair pasta!! There were maybe 6 tiny scallops, the fried Mac and cheese bites were also tasteless!! I had wine which was good but my fiancée had the apricot old fashioned that was supposed to be smoked and the bartender could not bother smoking it, it tasted like pure bourbon on the rocks!! After an over 100 dollar bill we felt like we threw a 100 bill away, so needless to say we will not be returning!!! What's really unfortunate we were really looking forward to going there and so for our first and last visit it's a no go!!!!!! read more

One yelper accurately reviewed this place the best when she said "ever date the perfect guy, but there was something off?" Well I'd have to agree (only replace guy with girl lol). Been here several times now, and I feel as if I just can't love the food here, and my last experience really was the tip of the iceberg. Some dishes such as the burgers, sandwiches and flatbreads are pretty good. The apps are for the most part good as well, but some entree dishes (main fare) are just lazy, lacking quality, and just generally disappointing. Karvers looks nice from the outside; atmosphere is spot on, inviting and interesting..but it's not as good as it appears. Here's what was ordered: Apps - Chicken wings: Ordered them traditional buffalo, but was brought Thai chili seasoned instead. Granted, I did ask the server questions about the Thai chili, but definitely remember telling her buffalo, but let's give her the benefit of the doubt, honest mistake. I'm adaptable, so I tried them anyway. The wings were not crispy and did not have a good coating of the chili sauce, so it was pretty boring and bland. Irish Spring Roll: This was interesting. I wonder if they were made fresh or previously frozen. Tasted pretty good, and was bigger than expected, so no complaints on this. Not bad, would order again. Dinner - Pan seared Salmon: Completely disappointed. One redeeming quality was the portion size. Other than that, not great at all. The "Atlantic Salmon" was previously frozen and farm raised. The plating was an absolute mess. Nothing looked appealing (see photos). The mashed potatoes were mashed to hell lacked volume, and tasted more like a porridge. Completely under seasoned. Scallops Casino: Horrible. Scallops were tiny, over cooked and again lacked good seasoning. The dish looked nothing like what you would think from the description, and was more like a fettuccine Alfredo covered in melted mozzarella cheese. Again, see photos. Kids meals: chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. Both came with vegetables. Standard, tasted fine and was served at proper temperature. OVERALL: Enjoy some apps, burgers, and flatbreads at the bar and have a few drinks. Don't sit and expect a quality dinner, because you won't get it, and will pay through the nose for it. I feel like I threw my money in the garbage. The server was FANTASTIC. Very polite, and did what she needed to do. Good on her, bad on restaurant. read more
