We had Big Belly BBQ cater our recent event, and I might never smoke my own ribs again for a party…read moreafter this experience. Everything was delicious, perfectly prepared, and served with professionalism from start to finish. We went with the Carnivore Belly package and added skirt steak, wings, and a mix of sides. The BBQ was outstanding - meaty tender ribs, juicy pulled pork, burgers and dogs grilled to perfection. The wings were crisp and flavorful, and the fryer setup stole the show with piping-hot fries and onion rings that guests couldn't stop talking about. Even the sides (macaroni salad, harvest salad) were fresh and balanced out the richness of the BBQ perfectly. Booking, setup, cooking, serving, and cleanup were all handled smoothly. Our guests raved about the food, and we were able to just enjoy the day. It was the best of both worlds - the taste of authentic BBQ with none of the stress of doing it ourselves. Highly recommend Big Belly for anyone looking to elevate their party or gathering. They absolutely made our event unforgettable. My belly is certainly happy, and now big too.

Can't rave enough about the vegan options at this spot! I have never been a fan of jackfruit until…read moreI came here. The vegan "pulled pork" is so tender and melts in your mouth. The pretzel bun and so buttery and creamy. The loaded baked potato is so well balanced. And the best of all deep fried peanut butter and jelly. All of these options are vegan and they have a few other veggie options I still need to try. If you're vegan and in Long Island it's a must try! It's a great spot to takeout or casual dine in I hope they get a vegan coleslaw and mac and cheese too soon.

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to check Faraday's out. Today was the day for lunch…read morewith my dad. As expected, it was a casual pub style spot with a bar and a small dining area in the back. For this Friday afternoon, it was quite busy. It was bustling with almost all the tables taken by the time we left. Our server was friendly and upbeat. She offered suggestions based on our preferences. We both ordered the same thing - burgers. They came out quickly. The burgers were big and yummy. They satisfied our craving perfectly.

If there's one restaurant in town I've tried to give a fair shot to over the years, it's Faraday's…read moreof Smithtown. I've been here on numerous occasions hoping that maybe this would finally be the visit where everything clicked. Unfortunately, it just hasn't happened. My experiences have been so-so, and more often than not they've been slightly disappointing. My biggest complaint has always been the food. My take has been it's been bland or uninspired. The French onion soup was just ok, and seemed like no effort putting this together. No provolone cheese option when I've ordered which is crazy. The Caesar salad tasted diluted, with lettuce that seemed waterlogged rather than crisp and fresh. Just overall underwhelming. The food is not necessarily terrible, but just mediocre and forgettable. Portion size is another problem. For what you're paying, the plates often feel surprisingly small. One example of this was the "Big C Burger," which was honestly a huge letdown. With a name like that you'd expect something substantial. Instead, the burger was tiny--maybe 4-5 ounces at most. At first glance you could barely even see the meat because the bun swallowed it. I ordered it medium and it came out completely overcooked, cooked to death really. The bun didn't help either--dense, dry, and overpowering the already small patty. The whole thing just felt poorly executed. Even the little details were off. I asked for olive oil on the side for a salad and what came out was clearly some generic vegetable oil. It felt like a lazy substitution, the kind of thing that makes you question how much care is going into the kitchen overall. To be fair, the one thing Faraday's consistently gets right is the atmosphere. The restaurant is has a cozy charming space with a warm pub feel. The indoor dining area although small has character and a comfortable vibe. The outdoor area is really nice too, and perfect for setting for a nice meal on a comfortable day. Service is good. I've not had any issues with any servers ever being inattentive. Occasionally some order mixups but quickly rectified. Unfortunately, that inviting setting hasn't translated to memorable meals. After several attempts over the years, Faraday's has remained one of those places that seems like it should be good--but for me, it just never quite hits.

This was my third time eating here and they never disappoint. We came on a Friday afternoon and…read moreimmediately sat down, the place was hopping with customers and servers. Our waitress was extremely friendly and was attentive. The food was out of this world. The eggs were perfect, bacon was flavorful, and the sourdough toast was delicious. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her burger and fries. We both shared the pancakes which were unexplainably delicious. The inside of course is decorated with traditional farm decor and cows. An overall fun place to eat!

Thankfully, we were able to secure a table for two pretty quickly in the indoor dining area. The restaurant itself is super cute, quaint, and full of charm. The cow-themed décor and old-school touches give it a nostalgic feel while still fitting perfectly into this beautiful part of Long Island. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a convenient parking lot right outside. Now, lets talk about the food. Breakfast was yum, and the portions were so generous that we were able to share our plates. The cappachino and coffee were also really good. The service was excellent. Our server was bubbly, friendly, and happy to offer recommendations when we asked. She was incredibly attentive, especially considering how many tables she was managingand all of the other servers seemed just as hardworking and attentive. By the time we left, there were already groups of people waiting outside the door, which definitely says something. Totally recommend Maureen's Kitchen. I would go come back if I am in the area again

Don't bother going as this place will be out of business soon…read more Sadly we went there before a Giants football game hoping for a good burger, but it was way over-cooked, dry, and lacked flavor. I should have kept my receipt and asked for a refund, but we had to get to the game. Way over-hyped, again, skip this place, which is too bad because had it been a decent burger, it would have enabled them to expand. They should stay in the" YouTube" business and keep out of the food business. Also, way overpriced at $18 for a burger, fries and a drink, especially given the poor quality.

The service was very slow, we were in for a good 15 minutes before we ordered and another 20 before the food came out. The coffee is very good, a staple that I'm a snob about. The waffles were very dense, too heavy to eat and they came out colder than I would like. If the butter cannot melt, it's not hot enough for me. Overall, I'd go by again if I were in a pinch.

We also noticed people waiting for to-go orders for over half an hour for simple orders. I wish I could give this place a better review because the menu items are wonderful and the ambiance is chill. But the staff need proper training. They need to pay attention and really take care with their customers. I don't believe "the customer is always right," but take more care with your customers.

Onto the negatives.... The waitress was absolutely horrific. It took 25-30 minutes for her to even realize we were there. You'd think after that mistake she'd be more attentive.... Nope. The table next to us was also getting a little irritated. I ordered the special spicy rigatoni and chicken cutlet. The sauce was very good and mildly spicy but the chicken was tough and not good. Actually tasted old. My husband had the skirt steak and said it was a bit fatty and just OK. Ordered a second margarita but it never came... they didn't charge for it but still annoying. It was pretty busy in there but by the time we left it emptied out. They charge 4% fee if you use a credit card which I found a bit steep compared to other establishments. All in all, I'd try them again for just drinks and apps and maybe check out the bar area. The outside looks super nice to enjoy weather depending. They open at 10am and happy hour is 10am-5pm.
