I was really disappointed by our experience. The bouncer had originally encouraged me and the other…read moregirls to dance on the elevated platform, so when my boyfriend went to join us, his response was completely different. Instead of simply asking him to get down, the bouncer threw him to the ground and grabbed him by the neck. The whole situation felt unnecessary, aggressive, and honestly pretty sexist. If no one was allowed on the platform, that should have been enforced consistently. Instead, it felt like it was fine for women but not for men. What should have been a fun night was completely ruined by the way the situation was handled. Staff should know how to de-escalate situations without resorting to excessive force.

The owner was incredibly nice and went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience (and made sure we weren't leaving hungry ). It was a small act of kindness that meant a lot, and it's something we'll definitely remember. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Hampton Bays. Highly recommend stopping here if you're looking for a fun spot with great music, good drinks, and genuinely friendly people.

Onto my meal, I got the filet taco, boom shrimp taco, and the hot honey chicken. They were all so delicious and yummy, I can tell they took their time creating each taco into a masterpiece. I loved the boom shrimp the most, then the hot honey, and then the filet taco the least, but all of these were so delicious I loved it! The boom shrimp is a delicious trip into the savory tastes of shrimp and the sea. I loved the addition of tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and avocados, drizzled in ranch. The filet taco is a great feast of filet steak and crispy crunchy onions. Lastly the hot honey chicken was great with purple lettuce, corn, pickles, and more fresh delicious veggies. I loved all the tacos so much and if I come back to the area I'd definitely come back, a must go to! Service/ambiance: First off the waiters came to us quickly with a nice refreshing water pitcher with lemons. It was a nice day out but not too hot, inside was nice and cool with the ac but not too cold, a nice balance. Not too loud of a place but nice and chill with a light speaker with music playing in the background. This in my opinion is a huge upgrade to the last location in Northport, this is much bigger and it looks cleaner. Something that stood out to me was that there was no men's sign on the bathroom, but there was on the ladies. I don't know if they're discriminated or something, but that was something, but besides that the bathrooms were very squeaky clean.

Came here on a random Tuesday night and nonetheless was greeted by an enthusiastic bartender who upsold me to a double and took great care of me and my parents who had apparently been here 40 years prior on a date? The vibe of this place is super fun, lots of eclectic artwork on the ceiling that my mom swears was here some 40 years ago. They do have some selection food options but we did not partake.

When you ask for a check after you're done drinking, they just tell you the price without giving you a check.They go over to the cash register and they hand you a check that is not itemized.It just gives you a total without an itemized summary of how many drinks you have. They told me my total was $49.95. I was gonna pay with cash but decided to pay with credit card and they told me if i pay with a credit card it was $4.00 extra. All bars and restaurants charge either 3 or 4 percent for using a credit card which should amount to $1.50. What a rip off. STAY AWAY FROM ThIS RIP-OFF bar.

Located inside Meschutt beach, Tiki Joe's has an outdoor full bar, a food hut that serves everything from burgers to lobster rolls, and a dance floor with tables where you can move along to the live music they have here on weekends. We came here on a Saturday night and waited around 20-30 minutes for our food, but didn't mind much and just enjoyed the beautiful views and music. Unfortunately things got cut short due to the weather - definitely check the weather before coming here.

I appreciated the wide variety of canned libations on their menu (opted for a few Lover Boys which hit the spot after a hot day on the beach). Service was prompt and friendly, and there were plenty of seats available when we arrived just before the live music started. I will say that I think depending on what type of music is playing, this place draws a particular kind of crowd. On Saturday they were playing oldies so that's who showed up to listen. I would definitely go back if they had a band that was playing something a little more recent though! Note: this place is a little hard to find, and the wifi is weak (though they offer guest wifi which really helped us figure out how to get on the road to our next destination).

La Fogata Bar & Grill is a lovely Mexican restaurant that offers a truly authentic dining experience! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by warm and friendly staff who are happy to help you find the perfect dish to suit your taste buds. The nachos at La Fogata are simply outstanding. They are made with fresh, crispy tortilla chips that are loaded with delicious toppings like melted cheese, juicy tomatoes, zesty jalapenos, and tangy sour cream. The nachos are served piping hot and are the perfect way to start your meal. In addition to the nachos, La Fogata also offers mouth-watering fajitas that are sure to satisfy any appetite. The fajitas are made with tender, juicy strips of grilled beef, chicken or shrimp, sautéed with onions and peppers plus a side of warm tortillas and rice. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is simply amazing. If you're looking for a great meal and a great experience, be sure to give La Fogata a try! read more

We had a corner table near the window, which was littered with them. We asked to be moved after the appetizers arrived and the flies started swarming towards the food. However, they said it was a full house and we would have to wait another 45 minutes. The meal was ruined regardless of any other factors. As far as the food goes, the Crab Cakes, Steamers, and Scallops were the better half of the meal. Calamari and Salmon were not bad either, but I wouldn't get the Fried Shrimps again. I don't know how they can fix their infestation problem. Unfortunately, we will not return unless we know the issue has been resolved.
