Elsy L.

Still so good! Service is always great and the ambiance inside is so nice. I love the way it's decorated. Such a good burger!! I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was cooked perfectly. The fries were also pretty good- and the prices aren't bad either. If you're craving a burger- this is definitely the spot to go to.

We came in on Sunday, June 7, 2026. We were looking for a dog friendly place and called ahead and it was not a problem. We were served promptly (I believe his name was Jacob- but not sure) he was GREATand was extremely friendly and helpful. Food was delish- I had the PB Burger (My FAVE!) and my boyfriend had the Hangover Burger which we also loved. We split the 50/50 Fries and Onion Rings. We hung out and had a few Blue Point beers and then ordered the Nachos which we also loved. We will definitely return!

I thought the burgers were very good here. I had the Local Burger and the Skin On Fries. The place is very casual and has a laid-back vibe. Service was nice, and I didn't have to wait long for a table on a Friday night.

Cheeseburger Nachos & Return of the Mac Burger
Debora F.

Always a solid choice! Burgers are always great, and I love that I can walk in without a long wait. The service is friendly and efficient every time. My go-to burger is the Return of the Mac. The milkshakes are so good too & definitely worth getting.

We attended breakfast with the Easter Bunny this morning and we had a great time. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. There were crayons and Easter coloring pages. The bunny moved around, took pictures and gave high five throughout the entire event. My girls enjoyed themselves.

Always a good lunch here. Burgers are delicious and the sides are great too. I like that you can customize everything and it comes out just right. We have been here quite a few times. The decor is fun and casual and the staff is awesome every time!

Burger burger burger baby! Woohoo! Great stuff here. Quality good ol American fare here. Burger joints beware, this place is fire. Grass fed burgers and dogs?!?! I'm here ALLL day. Brussels sprouts cooked to delicious perfection? I say yes I can come here, get my cheat meal in, and not feel totally guilty either. Sketch and fun arrangements of burgers and dogs, fries to compliment, and why not, lemme get a shake with that! If ONLY, they'd switch over to frying in beef tallow in lieu of those dreaded seed oils, then that's a rap, this place would be firing on all cylinders. Service is super friendly and every time have always been happy to make simple accommodations; don't want the bacon and sauce on your Brussels? No problem, on the side. Want to give a local beer a sample? No problem. This place comes together nicely with great food, great service, and fun and comfortable atmosphere. I'm not from Bayshore, I'm a good 25-30 min away and gladly will be coming back for more. Highly recommend. 5/5. And yes, I signed up for their rewards

Brussels sprouts, truffle fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries
Christina S.

I have been here many times and they have been in Bay Shore for many years. As someone who doesn't eat animal products, my review comes from that point of view. The restaurant is very clean and inviting. It is table service or you can get takeout/delivery. The menu items are very reasonably priced. There is a full bar, and three seating areas (high tops, regular tables, and back/outdoor/enclosed). The bathrooms were clean and the service is very friendly. There is only really one menu main that I am able to get, and that is the quinoa burger, but I am very appreciative that there is that option. You can also "build your own burger," so that allows for variations each time which makes it a little bit more exciting. The sides are also good, and I appreciate that the "brussels sprouts with bacon" can be made without the bacon, it's not pre-made. The drinks were also very good! When I'm craving a quinoa burger, I know I can get one here!

Fresh made milkshakes

The best burger spot on the Island. We go at least twice a month. The service is always on point and the atmosphere is cozy and fun. Try the shakes and ask about seasonal flavors. There are so many choices on the menu that are amazing and I like to create my own burger.

Smushed sandwich
Meri L.

Having been to the location in Patchogue, I was familiar with the menu. When my coworker said she was ordering here for lunch I deceived to order with her. I ordered the Captain Chicken and truffle fries. Captain Chicken was hand breaded chicken with slaw, pickles and chipotle ranch. It was just okay. I didn't taste any chipotle ranch, and it was smushed. The truffle fries didn't have any truffle taste at all. They tasted very basic. I had garlic aioli on the side which was decent in flavor. My coworker created her own burger with mushrooms and cheddar. She said the mushrooms weren't fresh, and they tasted canned. She also ordered sweet potato fries which she enjoyed. An average lunch. Would order here again if my coworker wanted to, but it's definitely not my first choice for places on Main Street.

These sliders are stacked with garlic-marinated skirt steak, pepper jack cheese, fried banana peppers, baby arugula, tomatoes, and a jalapeño cream that brings just the right amount of heat. I ordered mine medium well--fully cooked but still tender (no rubber vibes ). Flavor-wise? These things deliver. Perfect mix of savory with a nice spicy kick Paired it with a spicy watermelon margarita with tajín on the rim--super refreshing with that sweet-and-heat combo. Only downside... just two sliders I had to order an extra one, but honestly, no regrets--it was worth it. We grabbed seats at the bar to catch the Knicks playoff game, and the vibe was exactly what we wanted. Bartender was cool, energy was right, and it had that perfect sports bar feel for a playoff night. Definitely my new go-to when I want steak without paying steakhouse prices

There are several locations throughout Long Island, so I can't attest to the consistency spot to spot, my experience at this one in Bayshore was great. There was an overall chill Friday night ambiance, watching sports and hanging with friends. We sat at the bar and had no problems quickly ordering and getting our meals. Prices are pretty standard for the Long Island bar scene. All the food was great though. I personally had the chicken avocado wrap with sweet potato fries, and you know a place is good when the fries have special dipping sauce just for them. The wrap was perfectly mixed together (not just thrown on in chunks) with a good sauce distribution to ensure each bite was enjoyable. Great meal and spot to have if you want to have some drinks and food and go right out on the town afterwards.

That was kind of the case a few weeks ago at Dark Horse Tavern in Bay Shore. I came here with some buddies for dinner on a Sunday night and things were totally fine. I mean like I said, I can't speak to anything being truly negative. Dark Horse had a relatively spacious and inviting interior with a little holiday flair. Our waitress was friendly enough and our food came at a good pace. And what I ordered wasn't too shabby...though I guess if there's anything to say about my three star feelings, it might be there. Now Dark Horse did have a decently-sized menu, but after visiting a brewery prior to this dinner trip, I was feeling something simple like a burger. Featuring a juicy Lucy sounded like a win as did the idea of Cajun fries. Those spuds were rather good, though the juicy part of said Lucy wasn't really that juicy. Despite having never been to Minnesota, I know this type of burger really needs some gooey cheese coming out of it and this one lacked that. The burger itself was good, but like an "easily-forgettable" good. The same could be said for their Dark Horse Lager beer. I've been to other Dark Horses on the island and have seen (and I believe had) this brew, but for whatever reason it just seemed very bland and basic. Perhaps after having some more elaborate beers prior my tastebuds were looking for something with more zing, but I can't say for sure. All I know is between this and the basic burger, I really didn't have anything great (or ultimately negative) to say. Overall, yeah I suppose some of that sounds negative and a three star review feels a little meh towards other prospective eaters and readers of this review, but that's me telling the truth here. If I were in Bay Shore and someone suggested Dark Horse for dinner I probably wouldn't say no because just about everything will be decent enough, but if you're specifically asking me for recommendations in the area, I'm probably going to mention a bunch of other places instead. Just sayin'.

The entire bar staff is solid, and they're quick and efficient even when they may be a person down. If you're looking for something fancy, this is definitely not the place for you, but if you're looking for a small, intimate dive bar with good food, this is it. The only downside is since the bar is small, the bathroom situation is rough. There's only one stall in the women's room, so if it's busy, be prepared to wait. And they could use a bit more variety when it comes to beer on tap.
