Had a party here right before hurricane Sandy, so if this is a different owner disregard my review. The place was nice but the owner was a rude to my guests and a jerk all night. As for the food. The first batch was good but it wasn't enough for the amount of people there. 45 minutes later more food came out that tasted lousy. Nobody ate it. At the end of the night the owner gave me a bar bill that was about $150 too much. I decided not to let it ruin my night so I paid it with the tip I had put aside for the servers- who were lousy also. At the beginning of the party, two guests told me they want to have their parties there. By the end of the night they had changed their minds. And one of them was looking for a place in the area to have business dinners. So in the end the owner screwed him self. read more

We had our daughter's wedding shower there in May of 2021. It couldn't have been nicer. The room was beautiful, the food was great and Nick, the owner, went out of his may to make sure all the event was a success. I'd highly recommend it for a wedding or any other party. read more

Let's do the time warp again! Let's do the time warp again! Have you ever wanted to eat out the way your grandmother and grandfather did? Well fortunately for us Long Islanders, we have a relic of a restaurant here. Lambrou's is a cavernous, old seafood restaurant that does things very traditionally. From the white table linens and parquet dance floor to the way your meal is laid out, including soup, salad and entree. This 45 year old family run Island Park landmark runs like a classy old Rolls Royce. I almost felt guilty wearing jeans and a button down sport shirt in the nearly empty dining room. Time literally seems to slow down in here! We ordered Tilapia Almondine and Sole Athenian (stuffed with spinach and feta). Both were delicious! The prices are very reasonable and for a couple including one dessert to share was about $45.00. So don't fight the crowds at trendy downtown bistros... slow down and actually make dining out a classy event... like your grandparents did. read more

See all

Do you ever wish you could have a great meal -without fighting for parking -without paying a fortune -without waiting to be seated even on a Friday night -without feeling rushed or stressed in any way This place is that place. Went there last night with my wife's family, 8 of us total; seated immediately, drinks in 3 minutes appetizers 3 minutes later. Lamb chops, crab legs, surf and turf, and fresh fish of the day were enjoyed by all of us, nothing left to take home. You could show up with 50 people and you'd be seated and treated like long lost family. So happy to have found this place, though we've lived 5 miles away for 20 years and never tried it before. Post Sandy remodeling is very nice; great bar service too, and they take a great deal of pride in the fresh coffee they serve with dessert. read more

I had my daughters Christening there last weekend. The food was on point no complaints there. The service on the other hand was horrible. A server told us that it was because the party in the next room was bigger then ours. One table had to wait a half hour for tea. Coffee was brought out one by one to people. This is unfortunate because the place was nice and food was good. That will be my first and last event there. Chris read more

A throwback to the glory days of the 1970's and diner dinner fare. Not too many places like this left on Long Island. Bring the grandparents. They'll LOVE IT! read more

I came here back in Spring for an engagement party. The setup is great. The food was average. I did really enjoy the tilapia and shimp pasta. The bartenders were great and super friendly. Good drinks. The place was clean. Oddly enough, even though I drank a lot I didnt use the bathroom however, based on everyones bathroom selfies that I later found on facebook and instagram, it looked pretty clean to me! The DJ that night didnt do it for, Im not sure if he came with the place or he was hired privately but he wasn't good. I believe at one point in the night he played Let it Go from Frozen. Maybe at a baby shower or sweet 16 that would been cute I guess. The owner, an older woman, came out to say hello to my friend during the party. Nice lady and I thought it was nice that she did that. The parking lot is a decent size and the place is easy to find. Its overall a nice hall. I would recommend this place. read more

Lambrou's is a family owned seafood operation. They have some really good deals for dinner. For instance, for $20 or so you can get an entree with soup AND salad, dessert, the entree itself, and I think a free coffee or tea as well. I go here when I can eat quite a bit, and want some good seafood for a good price The salads come out ice cold usually, so I imagine they're pre-made. Not the best they have to offer, for sure. Also, the decor seems to be stuck in 1980. . It's the kind of place to take grandma to, not the hot chick you met in a bar. If you can overlook the fact that some of the food is apparently pre-made, and the decor is nothing special... then you can probably enjoy a good bite of food here. The BAR, however, is a pretty amazing piece of craftsmanship.. as are the tables in the bar area. The bartender isn't a young buck, but I'm sure he can make an amazing Old Fashioned or Manhattan. read more

When I visit my family in Long Island, we usually end up at crowded popular, hot-spots. Tonight, the lines at our favorites were hours long so we decided to try something different. I'm glad we did. The menu and atmosphere are very dated, but we really enjoyed it. Simple, good seafood at a reasonable price. There aren't many places where you have a nice slow-paced meal that includes soup AND salad, coffee AND desert with the cost of your entree. Truly a blast from the past. read more

Been coming here periodically since i was a little boy. My Grandparents and mother (rest their souls) loved the place. I too love the place. Full meal with soup salad and coffeee. This is run old school style, like an eatery straight out of an old black and white movie. I would not have it any other way. Awesome service, great owners. Best fish on Long Island, period. read more

New remodeled decor. New modern menu ! Went with a few friends last night and we all had an amazing time and amazing food and drinks. The captains platter was really good and loaded with fresh seafood. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and melts in your mouth. Glad we came back after many months. Glad to see this family owned resturaunt is getting some good buzz and a new fresh look. I absolutely support local family owned places. You get treated like family. read more

Came here for dinner...amazing seafood! They made incredible cocktails at the bar...and the décor is beautiful. Would come back for sure!

Had our daughter's wedding reception here. Nick was great from planning through execution. He was very accommodating and offered excellent suggestions. We all enjoyed the food. All our guests complimented us on our choice. The staff was very helpful, friendly and efficient from the serving staff to the bartenders. read more

Still family owned and run....even after Sandy! It has been a tradition for the last 3 years to go to Lambrou's on Thanksgiving and to make a turkey at home the following weekend. I don't know why we started this but we did and so far so good. My wife, my 4 year old and I met with her parents this past Thanksgiving and didn't know what to expect since Lambrou's had roughly 3 feet of water! When I walked in Mr Lambrou came over to me and shook my hand, remembered my name (and my son and wifes) and welcomed us in a way that is very rare these days. This was the first time they were open since Sandy hit the east coast and he looked nervous. I wished him a happy holiday, said how happy we were to be there and took my seat. It was a full house and it just had a great atmosphere (no sign of any damage actually) I ordered a steak and holy wow! It was tender, delicious and the mashed potatoes that came with them were a dream. This is a real and honest place run by real and honest people. It's really old school charm and for this 30-something (40 next year) a place I will return to and cherish. read more

Family owned and operated. The new decor a vast improvement. Highly accommodating when requesting non-menu specials or substitutions. A complete meal for the price of an entree at other places. Used their ballroom for a number of parties and each time was impressed with the food and service. The catering price per person is very reasonable. Also attended a number of parties and special occasion events and each time had a great time. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Lambrou and their sons, Nick and Andy (who operate the restaurant and catering business on a daily basis), make you feel part of their family. The seafood and fish dishes are great. read more

food is amazing always will be family owned been around forever my grandmother loved this place
