The show was short but a lot of fun! The Grinch played the character perfectly and interacted with the crowd. Drinks and bites are optional. I got the sugar cookie shots they were okay. I also got the Grinch has a heart because I'm a tequila girl but I wasn't a fan of this one. The sliders however were great.

A Complete Disappointment -- Save Your Money!…read more We went to the Nightmare Before Christmas pop-up restaurant and it was a total letdown. They were missing half the cast -- including Sally, who my son was most excited to see. When we asked about her, the waiter casually said, "Oh, she never showed up." Seriously? No apology, no effort to make it right. The food was way overpriced and tasted like something you'd get at a bowling alley -- definitely not worth what they're charging. There was only one performer, Jack, and he sang just two songs before disappearing. This was supposed to be a magical night for my son, but it turned into a huge disappointment. Hopefully this review saves another family from wasting their money and watching their kids walk away heartbroken.

Got together with some friends on the island for a relaxing dinner…read more We were told this is a nice, fun and relaxing atmosphere. That's pretty much correct. The night was bingo night but that aside we had a good time. You can eat both inside and outside. The outside offers seating in front and back. I'm a big outdoor seating person so we ate outdoors. For the most part, everyone enjoyed their dinner. The hamburgers were good. The fried pickles were good, if you like those. The Parmesan fries were also popular, but not my thing. What caught my eye was the berry goat cheese salad. Mixed greens, berries, caramel pecans, goat cheese, and their red vinaigrette was excellent. I thought I'd throw some protein on there so added the steak. The steak was not very good so I ended up eating very little of it. Not quite sure what the taste was that the steak was giving off but not something to my liking. Otherwise, this is a terrific salad. The vegetables refresh, they gave you a ton of variety of berries, and the overall size was terrific.

Enjoyed a great Sunday Brunch at The Tap Room in Farmingdale. I've been here before for some drinks…read moreand apps, but since we are holding my bridal shower here in June, we wanted to go for brunch to get a better feel for that menu. Our server Jacqueline was very sweet and attentive. We had ordered a cider flight. 3 out of 6 tasted like an IPA and we asked to swap it out. They were very accommodating and swapped it without question. Our guests' Bloody Marys were strong and spicy. We tried the short rib skillet, short rib sliders, American breakfast and breakfast burrito. The short ribs were soft and tender and the garlic Parmesan potatoes were AMAZING. (My mom actually went and spoke to the event manager to make sure we could have them at my shower.) The bacon was crispy and eggs cooked perfectly. Brunch prices were very reasonable considering the portions and quality. Overall, it was a great brunch experience and we can't wait to come back!

First off, I hold Tap Room to a very good standard as I have been to the Huntington and Bayshore locations and have had great experiences however I was not a fan of the Farmingdale location food wise. I went about three weeks ago and had a pretzel and a whiskey burger. The pretzel was delicious but the burger was tasteless. I thought that maybe its an off-day or something. I came back this past week and had the 20 for $20 wing special. My wings were dryer than the Sahara Desert. I chewed them and had to spit them out. I feel bad saying this but im still going to come back. The food is typically good, great deals on drinks, the staff are always friendly, but the food lately was not good. I will definitely be back for a third try.

I came here to watch the final of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Miami vs. Indiana with a couple of my cousins. The Ambiance of the bar is pretty good, a very cozy sports bar. For our appetizer, we started sharing the chicken buffalo wings, and fried cheese curds. The Fried Cheese Curds were crunchy outside and warm, gooey, and slightly chewy inside, a field of cheeses, very delicious a great option to share across a big party. The wings were crunchy, and well season, and delicious. I also order famous burger, The Ale House Cheddar Cheese, Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion Topped with Island Dressing, my burger was cooked medium and the cut was pretty good the bacon was crispy, and my meat was super delicious and juicy, For my drinks, I had the beer no alcoholic Athletic Run Wild IPA all night surprise it taste similar to an IPA. The bartender did a good job.

My friend later got a beer that was also flat, batting 0 for 3 here. I used to love the wings but my wings were literally cold. They couldn't even have been sitting under the warmer bc they were cold. She never came back to ask how anything was once the food dropped and I sat there with my wings getting colder. I actually had to ask for a box and the check bc the table was never touched. I was going to go today for the soccer game but my friend refused. Awful.

Great spot to grab a beer and catch up with friends…read more There's a large parking lot in the back, and the location is very accessible. I came here on a weekday for lunch and sat at the bar with a friend. The bartender was great--attentive but not overbearing. There was a solid selection of beers and a good variety on the food menu. I ordered the Juicy Lucy and clearly struggle with reading comprehension, because I completely missed the part where it said stuffed with cheese. I was definitely surprised when I bit into my burger and cheese spilled out the back--but I loved it. Great pub food all around.

During the course of a long evening, I had 2 Black Manhattans up and an order of baked clams, and a ton of club sodas in between. Music was legit, the King Cobra layed down some really amazing rockin blues. We saw them one night in January at Big Daddy's and they have become one of our favorite cover bands. Excellent lead guitar and vocals with some superb solo work. Scotty, who we know from another band, Blue Roots, on blues harp, outstanding. Solid bassist and percussionist contributing to solid music. We stayed for 2 of the 3 sets. Lisa E. making rounds and friends throughout the venue. Graciously gave up our table as we said our goodbyes to new acquaintances and headed blissfully home close to 11PM. Solid venue!

The inside area is small so I would suggest making a reservation if you don't want to have to wait for a table.
