A place to definitely add to your dining out repertoire. Everything about this eatery was delightful. Four of us tried Sal's Place for the first time last evening and were so glad we did. We were promptly greeted, brought to a table where we had a short & pleasant conversation with our greeter who provided us with menus and a list of specials. Our server (Patti) approached us momentarily, introduced herself, & took our beverage orders. A bus boy came & asked if we would like a bread basket brought to the table. Ok...great start! Easy to locate, pleasant atmosphere, great service and the best was yet to come. Our food choices were served timely and we all enjoyed the atmosphere. We chose an appetizer of Calamari with Thai sauce, which was delicious, fresh & cooked just right. Two of us had the ribs which were fantastic, the other two had sandwich choices (Freedom Dip - a French Dip with Sweet Potato fries; the other chose a Reuben Sandwich with regular fries). Portions were perfect & properly prepared. The menu has a wide variety of choices for entrees and lighter fair. Pricing was very reasonable. As I said... add to your dining out locations. read more

Food and service at Sal's is great. I love the food and the waitstaff. Never have a bad experience.

Thank you Sals place for a wonderful first birthday party for my son! You guys handled a large party (70 people) beautifully! Set everything up without it feeling the least bit crowded.

Sal's Place - a table set for a baby shower party - American Near Me - Massapequa, New York

My family went to Sal's Place yesterday afternoon for an early Mothers Day dinner. Considering its a busy holiday we got good service- i'll be honest i got a wrap and it wasn't the best i've had but everyone else was pleased with their meals- from pasta to burgers. All had soup and enjoyed it! After we got the check we were given two plates of cookies to enjoy- such a nice touch! The owner came by to say hi. The little touches and friendly staff were such a treat for a busy day. I'll be back but will probably stick to burgers. read more

Every night's a great night at Sal's - so says their website. A friend of mine recommended this place while we were out the other night and he was right on the money. Sal's is half Pub / half sit down restaurant. The food is very good. We hit the bar half as that is my usual preference. We grabbed a menu and to our surprise they had a great deal on Monday and Tuesday - 2 dinners for $20. You pick two off a list of option and also have a choice of soup or salad. The list has enough choices to hit just about any type of food you might want. If the special doesn't do it for you, then the regular menu is pretty extensive and sure to please. The bartender was a veteran from another establishment we frequent and he was johnny on the spot with the drinks and refills. The food arrived and to my surprise the portions weren't scaled down- which made for some doggie bag action at the end. Everything was tasty and in abundance. Parking lot outside. read more

Sal's is the go-to, cozy neighborhood establishment. It's everything Applebee's advertises to be. It's the place that you meet at for dinner when nobody can make up their mind. You came here for your first date. You come here each year for your aunt's birthday. You'll come here every Sunday to watch the game because you know exactly where all the TVs are (including the one in the bathroom). You never miss a moment. The cuisine is so homey that you simply categorize it as our type of food. It's where everyone's favorite dish is on the menu and anything off the menu is "on-special." You order your burger based on where you went to school and your drink based on when pay day is. You've seen Sal a dozen times whether you know it or not. It's his place. It's yours. I would rate Sal's three and a half stars. read more

Great service friendly staff. Good food and a good value. A fun place a little loud but but family friendly.Also no one rushed you out you feel welcome great neighborhood place. read more

A very well known neighborhood establishment. My family took me here since we were in the neighborhood. The menu selection was although limited, it was a good selection to choose from. The potato skins were good, with a good amount of cheese and bacon on top. However, both of the baked clams and crab cake was spicier than usually is. But the minestrone soup was also good, as there was a generous portion of soup, pasta, beans and vegetables. The pork chop I had was dry in some places and tender in some places. The sauce that came with it was overpowered by some rosemary, meaning that it slightly tainted the flavor of the accompanying sauce. However, the rice and vegetables made as good side dishes. Nonetheless, I would come here again for the food at reasonable prices, aside from the bar. read more

Excellent food. Wonderful staff. Will miss seeing friends on Friday. Planning on ordering dinner for "take out". Hopefully life gets back to normal soon. In the meantime, wishing all of you the very best. read more

Loved the food and the cozyness of sals place.everything was great but one issue.I have grandchildren and elderly parents so we are careful so before sitting down or going to bathroom we wear our masks and every single server and hostess were wearing their masks except for our waitress who kept her mask under her chin and we were very uncomfortable and I should of said something but i didn't want to make a scene so I don't think we will be returning even thou we love sals.the waitress was an older women with black hair read more

We wandered in on a Saturday night so as expected there was a wait and the service was a bit dragged out(new server); however, the food was ok overall with a few exceptions. Typical pub food (no complaints here) and we enjoyed our meals, with a few comments which I hope the Chef takes note of. We had the Texas Gold Wings; good flavor just not spicy at all. Dragon Burger was a flop as they forgot the horseradish mayo and most importantly they say "fried Jalapeño", but they were just plain and i think may have even been those pickled ones you would get at Subway...We didn't enjoy them. Also, which is unfortunate as service was slow We never had a chance to ask for a side of Horseradish Mayo. Kids fingers were good, but the ravioli red sauce was not good (i know, its a pub, what the hell am I letting my kid order Ravioli for; i'll let you discuss that with the 8 year old next time, let me know how you make out :-). The hit of the meal was the French Onion Soup, it was unanimous even with the kids as the best part of the meal, so cheers to the French Onion Soup!!! I would head back and give another shot, just not on a Sat night... read more

Came here to watch the giants game and grab a few drinks. The seating at the tables by the bar aren't the greatest and is kinda small and cramped. There was about 40 people at the bar area and there is only one bartender so the drinks came out slow. The bartender was also the waiter for us was kinda hard to order food. The food was pretty good atleast and the wings where the shining moment. Still would go back just not my first choice. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place. I was here a couple nights ago and it was horrible. I Had a glass of wine, the glass was disgusting and appeared to have dust inside. The food was plain, I ordered the skirt steak and it had no taste. Everyone at the table complained about how terrible the food was. We were a party of four. My wife and I were here a couple months ago. And the food was also terrible. My wife and I only came here because our friends wanted to come here. We used to come here all the time,this place was great, I don't know what happened. read more

Saw some favorable reviews on Yelp, so decided to stop in for dinner with a friend on a weeknight. Had to sit outside 1st and 2nd time I went there, due to indoor dining was packed. Very good food, and reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit read more

We had my bosses retirement party at Sal's last night. What an a absolutely amazing job they did. My guests could not stop speaking about the excellent food that was served. We had a buffet and the food was hot , beautifully displayed, and absolutely delicious. Joe and Rob the owners really make everyone feel like their family. Our waitress Patty was outstanding and was right on-top of everything , making sure guests drinks were always full. Cookie the manager was a pleasure and over saw the process insuring the staff and food were top notched. She saw we were getting frustrating with some decorations that we couldn't figure out how to put together and she stepped right in and helped out and even took over doing them for us. .The price was very reasonable . Many of my quests as they were leaving indicating this would now be their go to place for parties and or just a simple dinner with family or friends. Thank you again Sal's place for doing such an amazing job . My boss was blown away read more

never...ever...again the last time we ate here the food was absolutely fantastic, but the service we received was sub-par (read my previous review to see more)...tonight we decided to give them another chance, hoping that maybe it had been an off night - somehow they managed to make it an even worse experience this time the timeline of our most recent, and certainly last visit to sal's place: 7:05 - walked in the door, stood at the empty hostess station & waited 7:10 - a hostess finally comes over and is the first staff member to say anything to us. We are seated within a minute or two 7:25 - our waitress finally acknowledges our existence. I say this because during the 15 minutes we sat at the table with no drinks bread etc, she walked past us at least 5 or 6 times without making so much as eye contact, a simple "i will be right with you" would have been fine, but we got nothing other than a view of her helping other tables & socializing with the people at them while we wondered if she knew we were there. Order placed immediately since we had ample time to peruse the menu 7:35 - drinks finally arrive, delivered by a staff member other than our nonexistent waitress 7:40 - bread finally arrives, also from a busboy, waitress engaged in conversation with another table as we are left to ponder if she has even put our order in 7:55 - still no food after half an hour, do a steak sandwich & a piece of salmon take this long to cook? they don't in my kitchen...tables seated a minute or two before us are now paying the bill...flagged down the busboy who brought our bread & drinks if a manager was available since our waitress was still not interested in helping us...busboy walks over to a woman who was standing & having a friendly chat with another table with her back to us, busboy informs her that we'd like to speak to her, she turns around, looks at us for about two seconds, then goes back to her conversation...we think ok maybe she's resolving an issue for them...nope, she whips out her phone and starts showing them pictures needless to say, that was the final straw - as we start to walk out she realizes we're leaving and turns around only saying 'hello' - i politely informed her that it was actually goodbye and the reasons why...i'm met with nothing more than a blank stare...to the car & a place with service of some sort we go i'll sum it up how i started - never...ever...again read more

Out on the Island today and ventured into a place we scoped out on yelp called Sal's Place with 4 1/2 stars we hoped for the best. We ordered the lunch specials of entree and soup or salad. The French onion soup was good, lots of cheese, onions and a hearty broth! The penne ala vodka was ok, sauce was rich and tasty but the penne was swimming in sauce! Sometimes less is more guys! My sole fish sandwich with lettuce and tomato with tartar sauce was very deep fried and lacked seasoning. The desert was Tartufo with whip, standard shipped in Bindi style desert. The bar was bopping though and my Jack and Ginger and Irish coffee were made strong! So for a "bar" restaurant not bad, they get a two for food. Atmosphere was adequate and very dark. I will not ever be going back to this place and will forget it as soon as I get home! read more

Very good meal and wonderful attentive and friendly service - wonderful experience and recommend for a light meal or full dinner

I have eaten here a quite a few times and the food is always good, it's the service i'm concerned with. I've been ignored on more than one occasion and today my boyfriend was charged for someone else's more expensive meal and then was charged for ours on top of that... Disappointed... read more

Amazing bar and restuarant right here in Plainedge! Bruce and his crew fo an excellent job with all the food and beverages you can indulge in. Very convenient and close to home for us! I will recommend to anyone looking for traditional American foods in our local area read more

First time at Sal's...we felt like we've been going there for years! The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. The service was top notch starting with our server Courtney. She was very attentive and made sure my beer was never empty. Had great recommendations for us and just made us feel at home. The wings with the Texas gold sauce were some of the best I've ever had...get them. Burger was cooked exactly as ordered and the steak tidbits were first rate, and again, cooked perfectly. We felt at home at Sal's Place and we will be back for sure. 5/5. Also, shout out to the bus boy. The guy was a wizard. Kept the table spotless. read more

Good food. Good Drinks and really good people. Many local MacArthur HS grads hang here from many different years. I always run in to someone I know. (Dougiemac class of 79'). So you will find the bar here almost like a "Cheers". New, not a Local, no worries, no one bites and everyone is friendly. As for the food, the food is good. There is nothing on the menu that you can go wrong with. Sals also has specials around the holidays. The food is authentic around the various holidays from Octoberfest to New Years. The food is really good and it just so happens to have that "cheers" type of flare at the bar, which is separate from the dining room. The people that work here, from Sal the owner to various bartenders Jack, Sue, and others are all "good people" and they work hard to make the experience exceptional every time. I am addicted. read more

Great food, good drinks, fun time with friends! read more

Not only was the food here absolutely delicious but the staff was amazing! They were very welcoming and patient with our family. Our 3 year old was not at all interested in being there and was being extremely difficult. Cookie and Patti were so sweet and patient with him and when he finally came around Patti made sure he had what he wanted and made him feel very special. The food was awesome!! Thank you Sal's Place!! We will most definitely be back!! read more

Awesome neighborhood bar and grill. Everyone is very friendly and the food is great. The wings are amazing! Highly recommend them. Got a chicken Caesar wrap and my husband got a burger, both were delicious. read more

I enjoy this place! The food is very good, service is even better. On Valentine's Day we ordered from the specials menu and my lobster ravioli with pink sauce was delicious! Drinks are also great! Fair beer selection and prices! Its my choice for a low key night out. I love sitting at the bar and ordering a steak sandwich. The crowd is nice and the bartender always attentive! read more

Not in the mood to travel far or get dressed up- my lady and I decided to give this place a shot. I was surprised to see the decent sized menu and perhaps I was really hungry but everything looked appealing to me. We got the quesdilla to start and then I got a roast beef sandwich while my lady got the skirt steak melt. Both were great. The portions were large and satisfying and they came with fries (which were great). Service was friendly and quick. It truly was a great casual dining experience and I am looking forward to coming back. read more

I've had my baby shower here, my cousin had her baby shower here and my friend had her rehearsal dinner here. I have recommended this place to everyone. The food is amazing. The service is amazing. It is a nice clean comfortable place to eat and is kid friendly. They do an amazing job with decorating for parties and the cake they serve is delicious. Best place around. read more

Over a year later and I still feel the same! We spent Father's Day here watching sports, drinking, and eating burgers and wings. Great service has continued since my last review. Prices are wonderful, drinks are strong, and there's plenty of televisions to watch many different teams on. Every bartender is super friendly! Thanks Joe for making my parents always feel more than welcomed! read more

Sals Place is always a great go to place. Their food is good and reasonably priced. We went for lunch and just wanted soup and an appy. We both got the French onion soup which was great on a cold winters day. My husband had the Reuben quesadilla which was delicious. I had the chicken quesadilla which was chock full of chicken and cheese. There was plenty of food and I wound up taking half of the quesadilla home!! Great place. Can't go wrong with Sals. Service was good as well ! read more

Good food at good prices and a place in totally fine with bringing my toddler daughter to as well. The staff is great and owner is really nice too - even gave my daughter a Sal's place bib! read more

Every so often I end up at Sal's Place courtesy of Bruce. He hosts many events there as he is the head bartender and always seems to gather people together in a highly positive manner and connect people with each other. I do not drink so I can't speak of how the drinks are here but I can tell you the food is excellent. Having grown up in the North Massapequa plainedge area you cannot do better for traditional American Cuisine. I usually order the traditional Burger with the baked potato and the coffee and I can tell you this place does not let you down. The food here is simple and good. The Vibes here are totally genuine and because of Bruce it is always worth coming here read more

My wife and I have been going to Sal's for years. It is a great spot to grab a quick bite and watch a game. The wings and crispy shrimp are fantastic as are many items on the menu. The staff is friendly and no matter how busy they are you never have to wait long for a drink. read more

Tried Sal's for the first time the other night. Service was very good. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I don't think our glasses went empty the entire night. Extra star for service, but the food was not good. We ordered the philly cheese steak egg rolls as an app. They arrived burnt. I had the shrimp scampi served over angel hair. It might as well have been served in a bowl of water. No amount of salt, pepper and parmesan cheese on the table could have made it better. Unfortunately, I cannot say we will be back. read more

Really great place with amazingly friendly staff! I've never been disappointed by the food in the 10+ times I've been. Happy hour has incredible food deals, which is a huge plus, but can get pretty crowded. read more

Have eaten there since the place opened several years ago. It was great. Sadly, over the years the food and service have gone down a steep hill... The menu hadn't changed too much over the years and frankly there aren't many salad or light dishes. The old standby of mine " The Barbara salad " is too boring and there should be a more varied menu. The prices are average for the type of food offered. But the food is not what you could rave about. The items with sauce are drowned by mostly tasteless gravies (including pasta dishes). Sorry, I really did like this place years ago. The bar caters (obviously) to a young crowd and getting noticed isn't easy. There is absolutely too much, served to too many, especially on weekend nights. These young drinkers don't exactly always know when to quit, and somebody needs to be smart concerning their cut off limits...and in this case it should be up to the owners... The wait staff also isn't what it was when they first opened. There was a girl there then that seemed to keep the place running a lot smoother.. read more

I had dinner at sals for the first time this week. The place was packed as most restaurants are on a Saturday night so we had to sit by the door. My party of four ordered shrimp quesadillas , shrimp and penne pasta, the pot pie special and the skirt steak. My niece enjoyed her quesadillas very much and my mom loved the pasta. My sister liked the pot pie except she isn't a fan of nutmeg or cinnamon and it had a strong taste. My steak was tough and had no flavor. The service was great,i would try this restaurant again but try something else. read more

I've driven by this place SO many times but never stepped inside until today. I read a lot of reviews about how good the food was and I had to see for myself. I had a cranberry goat cheese salad and a veggie pizzette. Both were delicious! I will warn that the portions are big. So it's not like you're typical nice restaurant that raises the price just because it can, you get a good amount of food for the price. It had a very friendly, family-style feel to it. Great place for dinner with friends and family! read more

I was here once and the food, atmosphere and people were great. It's a great place to hang out with neighborhood people!
