Excellent gastropub. Went with wife on recent Saturday night. She had the wild boar sausage dog and I had the Cuban sandwich. Both delicious. Awesome beer selection with a good Belgian and American Mid-west representation. Great service too. Would definitely come back read more

Sapsuckers is reliable. Small but cozy space, range of menu options, and a wild assortment of tap beers, wine and bourbon. I have had amazing meals here and I have had meals here that have left me regretting my meal choice like crazy. The amazing meals WAY outweigh the regretful ones. Must try items include: - The Mallet Burger - SO GOOD. Great beef patty, brioche bun, lettuce/tomato/onion, and I ask for bleu cheese on top of that *almost* every time. Fries are thin cut, perfect array of crispy ones and soft ones, and they're always seasoned just right. - Philly Cheese Steak - amazing. And big enough to guarantee you leftovers. Made the way a true philly cheese steak should be, tender cuts of meat and the perfect amount of cheese, onions and peppers. Mouth is watering thinking about it. - Shwarma - I live in Astoria. I work in midtown Manhattan. I should be able to find the best shwarma possible in either of these places. No. sapsuckers does it best, by far. It is made so incredibly I can't put it into words. If you're into that kind of flavor, you must try. Caution: the fish and chips are literal fish sticks. Not at all what I had been expecting. I didn't like them at all. Specials never catch my eye, not entirely sure why. The menu items always seem to blow them away, for me. Veggie burger is ok but VERY soft texture which is not appealing. A burger should have some crunch or solidity to it. This one does not. Still comes with the awesome fries so it's not an all out loss offering the "healthier" burger. Try it. There will be a dynamic tap beer list, no doubt, and a number of wonderful food options. You won't regret it! read more

There is nothing like a restaurant that has hours posted on yelp, their website and even their front door for 10 PM closing, but is pitch black with bar stools upside down before7 PM. I'm most frustrated because I was given the task of surprising my boyfriend for a birthday dinner with a new place we've never been before. I narrowed it down to four places on all of long island, and Sapsuckers happened to be one of them. Unfortunately, I don't live in or near Huntington and I was talking this place up like "yea, the reviews are awesome!!" Two other places of the four I picked were also in Huntington, and they were all closed before 7 PM. Sapsuckers was the third and final stop. Do you know what it feels like to be so excited to surprise someone, for them to look disappointed that nothing was open but a pizza place? It is a really sucky feeling. We pull onto Main Street and there are drunk people in green every where. Running around or at my car. It was their St. Patrick's day celebration. I didn't even get to the inside part of the "restaurant/pub" and I'm already extremely disappointed. read more

I've been looking at the menu online for a while now and finally had the chance to go. This place is more of a grab a beer and food after work type of environment and not for a family with young kids. I started off by getting the Guadalajara Sour drink, which was good, but in my opinion tasted more like a margarita. I then got the pulled pork sandwich which was pretty good as well. The really great dish was the chicken and waffles that my friend got. Just the right amount of sweet and salty to make it delicious. If you are a beer lover they have a large variety. Pricing here is mid-range I would say and you get what you pay for. Would come back to try more! read more

If you like domestic beers such as Bud, Coors Light, Michelob, Miller... DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! The beer selection at Sapsuckers is fantastic. They have brews from all over the world and the US. I did not see one plain, boring domestic brew being served. Expand your beer palate and enjoy! read more

Not too long after this place opened, my girlfriend received a suggestion that she and I check the place out one night for dinner. From what we were told, we were under the impression this was just a restaurant. We walked in and saw nothing but what one would expect from a bar, on a Saturday night, immediately after it opened. A MOB SCENE. After looking like a pair of lost children wondering if there was even a host/hostess of some sort, we eventually came into contact with someone working there and asked what the wait for dinner was. This was followed by us immediately walking out when told some absurd, but understandable for a new place, duration of time it would take for seats for us to open. A few months later we went back, on a week day, after work. It wasn't too crowded. None of the town lushes were swarming the bar, there was a table or three open to sit down at (granted even with barely anyone in there, it still felt a tad bit cramped with all the tables on top of one another). The food was really good, but I feel you could get similar, if not the same, from another bar that has seating for dinner. The food menu was sparse. We're talking maybe a sheet with a few options listed, compared to their multi-paged menu of beers. After the waiter spent what seemed like an eternity running his mouth off about what felt like the origins and methodology of a how a slew of beers on the list came to be (which I feel he was told to push in order to get the most money out of customers), we ordered what we thought was a good option. No mention that I was going to be slapped in the face with shock when the check came later on. 25 dollars for one beer. Granted, it was a rather large bottle. But 25 dollars? It maybe filled 3 to 3 and a half glasses. We're not talking mugs or pint glasses either. We're talking those wine chalice looking glasses that you see beer snobs drinking from (or possibly when the bar is under staffed and due to crowds, you're subjected to one of these dainty glasses). But like I said, the food was good, there is no denying that. I just don't see ourselves in any rush to go there again, especially after feeling bamboozled into buying a beer, that for the price paid, could have gotten 4 or 5 drinks in a regular sized glass. Then again, with prices like that, I'm not sure I even want to know what "regular" drink prices are in that place. It just really bothered me that I didn't see any price, or wasn't informed of the ABSURDLY HIGH PRICE FOR ONE BOTTLE OF BEER. I mean, this isn't a finely aged wine or scotch, it is a damn beer. Long winded story short, avoid this place on weekend nights if you want to eat, and make sure you know what you're ordering to drink before you find out you are regrettably handing over a wad of cash or your credit card for a damn beer. read more

A group of six of us went here for dinner on a Saturday evening in October while in town for a girls' weekend. The menu seemed the most diplomatic for the variety of picky eaters in our group! While the menu did not dissapoint, the overall atmosphere of Sapsucker's did. I kid you not that it is SO LOUD in there, we could barely carry on conversation. It was really disappointing. We couldn't hear our waiter telling us the specials. He couldn't hear us trying to get his attention. LOUD. The only aspect of the menu that did disappoint was for my vegan friend. She ordered a salad and let them know her dietary restrictions and she got a plate of lettuce with a few tomatoes and cucumbers. A little ridiculous. Also, no cocktail menu to speak of. Surprising, since cocktails have been HUGE the past few years. Next time I'm in Huntington, I will look for somewhere else to have dinner. read more

Just discovered this place. It's awesome. Great beer selection and the first time we came our bartender was beyond friendly. Talked to me about the menu items I was curious about and was super helpful. Came here a second time and it was just as good. Great ambiance and good times but the bar is small- seats maybe 12-13 people. Really unique and interesting food and don't be afraid to try something new, it really has all been delicious. read more

What a great little spot! Came here early on a spring Saturday (read the reviews that it can fill up quickly) and had no problem getting seated at a table. The doors were open and although it was chilly, I could tell this will be just a perfect dinner spot on a cool summer evening! Nice beer selection. I ordered the Alabama Sloppy Hammer, recommended by the server. Tasty, but I shouldn't have had waited until after trying a bite of my boyfriend's sandwich because nothing could compare to that goodness. His was a special, some sort of French dip with fries and gravy, and was out of this world bursting with flavor! So good. The thin-cut French fries went perfectly with our sandwiches. Can't wait to return on a warmer evening! read more

Great! When I'm out in Huntington I can never find a place that is casual, reasonably priced and friendly. I wish I knew about this place sooner! Super friendly service here. That's half the battle in most establishments. Keep it up guys! Great menu and so far everything was delicious. We had the ribs, chicken pot pie and garden burger. All delicious. Don't let the pub look fool you, this is a great food establishment. For context, I know a lot of people like to establish their NYC food knowledge on Yelp because I guess it sets a standard. I live and eat in NYC all the time and I wish this place was in my neighborhood. read more

Love this place! Been here many times and never had a bad experience. The bar is well stocked with beer, wine and liquor. Their beer list is always changing, so there's always something new to try. Great shawarma, fish and chips, meatloaf, burgers, soups, appetizers... basically everything. Even the daily specials are worthwhile. Like I said, we've never had a bad experience, which really says a lot. And the wait staff is cool too. Definitely a place to try when you're in Huntington Village. read more

My two stars are for the phenomenal food and atmosphere. However, I've never come across a ruder manager in all my time. Toward the end of the meal, we felt extremely rushed with the manager hovering over our table. Upon bringing this up to the manager on the way out, telling him that we love the restaurant but would have liked to have had one more drink but were denied and felt uncomfortable as a friend finished her wine and food, the manager acted like he wasn't even listening (completely dismissive) and even responded "What sir, would you like me to buy you a drink or something?" This was the worst I've ever seen a manager deal with feedback for a customer and make them feel uncomfortable. I love the restaurant, but given how they treat customers, if I see that manager in there again, I'll likely keep going to another Huntington establishment. - lost customer read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, an excellent ever changing taplist that I always find something new on every visit, and good food.

Burgers are one of the best around town Small place with a pub feel Not expensive but portions are plentiful It's a place you will come back again and again read more

Awesome! I LOVE Sapsuckers! We stopped here on a whim back on Halloween when (I believe) they had just recently opened to get away from the massive,massive, MASSIVE amounts of children in costumes flooding the streets. Honestly, it was the first place that we saw that children most likely would NOT be and flew in! Definitely glad we did! BEST burger I have EVER had! It is so juicy, organic, and comes on a delicious bun from a bakery - not your standard sesame seed bun, probably the best bun I've ever had, I always order it with gorgonzola and it comes with a side of seasoned fries that are aweeeeeeesome! The beer menu is huge, my only complaint is that a lot of the time I'll want a certain beer on tap and they're out :( The appetizers are great too. I would definitely classify Sapsuckers as more "upscale" bar food. The atmosphere is nice and warm, the staff are friendly. Definitely try this place out! read more

I've been here three times now. If I want fried checken I am sprinting to get here. The honey coating on the fried chicken drips into the crispy fries and makes a combo that is really, really good. And its hard to cook fried chicken better than this. While the beer is a little pricey, I did get a eally nice Czech Pilsner that mixed nicely with the food. The variey of beer is pretty amazing considering the hole-in-the-wall size of the place. Everyone on the family likes Sapsuckers so its easy to get them to go back. And the fact is that's good for me! read more

This place is awesome! We felt welcomed the second we walked in. Had to wait for a table of 4, so we decided to have a beer while waiting. Great beer list, with nice descriptions for the tap selections. In our group, we have one pescatarian and one "meat and potatoes" kind of eater, and this menu pleased everyone!!!! I got the Alabama Sloppy Hammer, which was OUT OF THIS WORLD, so delicious, so perfect. Not too much cheese, sauce, meat or bread, just GREAT. My SO got the blackened catfish, and he loved it so much nobody else got to taste it. Friend got the veggie "burger" sandwich, which I had tasted, and it was so fresh, and delicious, and very different from most vegetarian sandwich/burger options you can find basically anywhere else. Another friend got the special hot dog of the day which was a cordon bleu type dog, it looked AMAZING and he was very happy with his food also.. basically I am writing this to tell you to GO HERE AND EAT, and have some drinks while you're there! It's loud, but fun, the wait staff is funny and friendly, and it's a clean place! read more

This review is about the FOOD. (yes, great beer selection you can't get elsewhere in town, but let's talk about the FOOD.) Went there on a Friday night at 7 pm when it was just starting to get busy. STAFF was very knowledgeable and very friendly, kudos. Here's what we ordered, and it wasn't the burger (which apparently is great?): 3 little pigs: app of 3 pulled pork & coleslaw sliders. We know our BBQ, and this ain't it. "Just okay" - amongst 4 of us, only 2 of the sliders were eaten, which should tell you something. Bland. Eggs nest: app of 3 hard boiled eggs with yolks removed & sitting in a pool of sauce created from pureed yolks with paprika & other spices. Points for innovation & it looked great. Tasted average. Organic chicken wings: app of about 7 smaaaalll buffalo wings. Average. If you're a wing man you'll be happier at Hooters,honestly. Potato pierogies: WINNER! 3 large pierogies, soft on the inside, slightly fried-crisp around the edges, sour cream & friend onions. A lot of others ordered this dish, I'm not surprised, they were excellent. Lamb meatloaf w tomato glaze & mashed pot: World's smallest meatloaf, moist but that's about it. Not impressive at all with spices, texture or anything, and it needed the spicy tomato sauce (not a glaze, it was a sauce poured over the slices of loaf). Mashed potatoes were average. (And I love me my Lamb! boo hoo) Braised pork shank with cous cous: now, it says "smoked" on the menu, and we LIKE smoked. We're huge BBQ fans, travel around for it, watch it on TV, go to the Big Apple BBQ festival & others every year. My husband who loves pork & all things smoked could barely eat the huge shank they gave him (great portion). The meat was tender, but WAY TOO SMOKEY. It was like they poured Liquid Smoke on it - it overpowered and ruined the taste of the berkshire pork. Couscous was out of a box with water and overcooked (I make better at home, how was that possible?) Lobster roll: nice large bun, medium-sized hunks of lobster, average taste. Hot Dog special of the day: hot dog topped with chili, cheddar cheese, bacon, hot cherry peppers & sour cream. We thought this was going to be amazing. It simply wasn't. The dog didn't have any snap, and the toppings were again overpowering the flavor of the dog and not too impressively. Meh. Give me a street dog in NYC. So, 4 Foodies who dine all over LI and Manhattan went to dinner here on a Friday night and NONE of us finished our meals - every plate had food left on it (very odd for us). There are so many wonderful places to be Wow'd by food in Huntington or Northport and we wouldn't waste our time here again. Unless you're going for straight beer & pierogies, skip it. Pics available on my website (see left side bar). read more

Love Sapsuckers! If you're a beer snob like me Sapsuckers or Rookies are really your only options in Huntington. Sapsuckers changes their beer selections almost daily (check out their Facebook for an updated list) and the bartenders are very knowledgeable about the selection. They're great about recommending beers you may like. Their food is also awesome, the organic burger being one of my faves. My only complaint would be that it's too small, and tends to get crowded pretty much every night but hey that's just a testament to how great it is :D read more

I have been to Sapsuckers with my family a couple of times, and have neglected to write any reviews. Which, does this place a disservice because it is indeed a great little gem in the middle of town. FOOD: The chicken and waffles are savory and decadent. You have to understand, I never had them before, because i couldn't understand how chicken and waffles would even want to be in the same room with each other... that's how narrow my thinking was. I am so glad i got over that! Great meal for sure! My wife had the mallet burger, which she would have devoured completely if not for it's heft. She loved it twice (it's great as a leftover, by the way). My daughter went with the fish and chips, and was quite happy with her meal. Additional note: You gotta get the homemade hummus. Don't ask any questions. Just get it. SERVICE: The service was really attentive, but in a warm, relaxed manner. We felt more like we were in the waitress' home rather than at her job. Does that make sense? That experience, plus the great food, put Sapsucker's on the map for me and my family. And, YES. Sapsucker's is a family-friendly place during lunch and dinner. I would think, after 8pm, the place leans more towards an adult crowd--which is understandable. DRINKS: I can only comment on the drinks as far as selection, considering I did not have any liquor when I was there. Having said that, Sapsucker's had a very generous beer selection, and some interesting spins on their cocktails... some true alchemy going on there for sure! I did not give Sapsucker's 5 stars, only because I haven't sampled the libations. I hope to report back with intel on that as soon as possible. :) But otherwise, an enthusiastic "recommend" read more

Great turnaround time! Drinks, apps and meal came out in great timing. Our waitress,Kate, was fun, professional and helped us have a wonderful experience. The food is really good and the seating is pretty comfortable/cozy. We will def return! read more

Cozy place for drinks or a meal. We went for a baseball game and sat at a high-top in the bar area. "Tulum chips" were a good rendition of classic nachos, with thick, fresh chips and fresh toppings. Nice craft beer selection. We both had tacos -- one shredded chicken and one fish. Chicken could have used a little more spunk; fish tacos spicy and good. Service was friendly and good. read more

Went there on a Saturday night after reading good reviews in Newsday and the LI Press. It was very crowded -- no surprise there -- but we were able to get at a table at around 7:30. The food was very good -- I had the burger and my friends liked (can't remember what one had, but I know the other had the wild boar sausage/hot dog.) The fries were thin, which I usually don't like, but they had a seasoning on them that made them more enjoyable. I was surprised it wasn't more expensive; the prices were totally reasonable by Huntington standards. The beer list was extensive, which is a treat since there aren't too many nice restaurants in the area that offer an expanded beer list. Definitely a place I'll try again. read more

Just came back from Sapsuckers, walking in to the restaurant i noticed a large crowd. Many patrons at the bar and i was happy to be seated right away by the friendly staff. We ordered the pretzel for an appetizer and OMG it was awesome. My wife ordered a special "chipotle chicken / salad, which she said she loved. I ordered the Mallet burger, but i made a mistake reading the menu, i thought it came with something extra, i read fried egg cheese bacon etc.. i didn't notice they were extras to the burger. so i was expecting a little more, because at it was, i would say it was just a burger. The fries were very good, but for price i was expecting something better. The menu had an extensive beer selection, which i enjoyed a few beers :) The dinner menu was filled with yummy appetizers and a good sandwich and entree selection. Plenty of choices that will bring me back to this joint. I am a fan, because the staff was super friendly and the selection on the menu. One last thing... it was very loud!! read more

Great local spot with friendly staff, awesome food and craft beers. Often very crowded. All organic. Great burgers and specials. Hangover hash on weekends is a treat for the heavy drinker in your life. Try the Cuban! read more

Love, Love, Loved this place!!!!!!! Absolutely the best mac and cheese I have ever had, sadly, including my own! And wait for this.... crispy shoe string fries WITH lovely rosemary seasoning. It was like the flavoring of roasted potatoes coupled with the crispy goodness of crunchy fries, I had a burger, it was awesome and enormous especially considering how affordable it was. My hubby had the fish and chips, also exceptional. Great selection of beers on tap and bottled, with a nice showing of local brews- something I always look for. I only had one, but I will return for more. read more

Great beer list, nice bar and good service. I gave it 4 stars because of the overall experience, not just the food. We thought the appetizers were much better than entrees. Pirogues were very good. You can definitely tell that they're home made, dough and filling. They come with sautéed onions on top, which makes them even better and they get the outside a little crisp. Ribs were good, a lot of seasoning, good taste. Not the best I've had but I was defiantly satisfied. Sandwiches were good, nothing special. I got the Cubano which didn't have much flavor and the ciabatta was oily from when they pressed it. The waitress told me how good it was and that its spicy because of the mustard. I couldn't even taste the mustard. The Shwarma was better than the Cuban, but again nothing special. We got spinach on the side because we didn't fries and the portion was pretty small as you can see. I like the Stiegal Pilsner, nice and light. Overall, good bar spot with a good atmosphere to grab some appetizers. read more

3.75? Upon arrival, the staff were super friendly and the decor was enjoyable. I felt like I was walking into a time machine with classic lighting and the paintings of various birds. My party of 4 ordered the nacho libre and it was okay. I just wished the cheeses weren't in blobs. A lot of times I had to manually top the cheese on my chips. Is that weird? I ordered the mallet burger. It was a satisfactory burger, but I wish the bread didn't come out so soggy. Fries were delicious though! The whole plate was filling, but it was pricey for the okay quality burger. I'll probably come next time to try other food items! read more

It was okay. Food was average. We had two meals and two appetizers, chicken wings and some type of pulled pork on corn tortillas. Both were fine but nothing special. We also had the Philly cheese steak and the chicken and waffles. Chicken was nicely cooked but everything else was pretty pedestrian. Beer was nice. All of the waitresses were working their butts off and were very nice and attentive. The price made me remember why we don't go to Huntington to eat very often. Dropped a hundred bucks on a pretty mediocre meal we could have had anywhere. read more

First time here ! Vinny is an excellent bartender who is informative on all the brews. Apps were delish! Will be back!

Had a horrible experience last night at what use to be one of my favorite spots... the experience I had was damaging enough that I will never go back. Discrimination is real and unfortunately due to one bartenders actions, I will never support this place again. read more

This really is the perfect place; one of the few bar style restaurants with an eclectic menu and lots to choose from. I wanted nearly everything on the menu. Best part? They swapped out the fries for a side salad. Amazing; how many places will do that? The price was reasonable, but the beer cost as much as the food. So I would say the beer, while beyond formidable, was a bit expensive; not a place you would go to get drunk, but to enjoy a beer? Make this the first place on your list. I had "The Chief" a special burger, 3 organic burgers, with cheese, and a side salad (instead of fries). My girlfriend had the fish and chips; she said they were "tasty but not traditional. The fish tasted fresh and was seasoned well." Definitely would make an effort to return to this locale; loved it! The service was fantastic for lunch as well; not only prompt, but we didn't feel rushed, and the waitress was friendly; she definitely appeared to enjoy her job. Like I said, will be returning. read more

Excellent! We had lunch here on Saturday and enjoyed ourselves very much. It was empty when we got here around1330 which we found odd, but it filled up as the day grew long. We figured that Huntingtonians slept in after partying all night at the plethora of bars/restaurants in town. We settled into some seats at the bar and tucked into some great food and beer. We ordered the potao pierogies and french onion soup for appetizers and the Cubano for our entree. I had the Speak Easy double daddy IPA and Mike had the Firestone Walker black rye IPA. These beers were hoppy and strong! MmmmMmmmGood. We ordered another round and hung out watching a game on TV and chatting wih our cool bartendress. A definate home run! read more

The food and beer selection are so good! I love the 3 pierogis (topped with caramelized onions & sitting atop sour cream), blackened catfish, chicken pot pie, and the cuban is surprisingly delicious!! (I'm from Florida.) The stroganoff is a must get!! I raved about it to the waitress & she said the fresh broad pasta comes from Osteria de Nino just across the street. So good... comfort food. Crap I need to go back & get that again... and everything else... haha... It's casual and can get packed. Love that the front wall is all glass and opens up in the spring & summer. The back dining room is dim, but there's a skylight. Great service. Reasonable prices. read more

Thought this place was pretty good after spending over $200 and only having 4 beers in 4 hours, but the second I joked and tried to photobomb some random persons pic they stopped serving me. Plus it was from a bartender that had not served me all night. The other waitress' were great. I also left great tips. Over 20%. This place has now lost my business, my friends business plus there friends business. If you wanna have a good time this is not the place to go. I'd leave no stars, but it won't let me. read more

Great spot! Some of the best beer selection in Huntington. I like the atmosphere, the awesome selection and the yummy food. Definitely a place to check out if you haven't already! read more

To be completely fair I'm only giving this place 3 stars because they failed to inform me that refills of soda were not free and kept refilling them in my tiny glass. It's one thing to be aware of the charge, but another to have ordered 2 drinks and then have a $10 charge for something you weren't aware of. The nachos were decent as was the burger. The place was very nicely decorated although as cool as those silver chairs are they are not comfortable so therefore not really practical. It's a shame I really wanted to like it but for $16 a burger, that burger better be amazing and sadly it wasn't. I don't like giving bad reviews but this place really pissed me off. I will not be returning. read more

I came here for dinner, so my review is much more weighted by the food than if I had solely come here for drinks. If it were the case that I was just here for some booze and conversation, I would give this a higher rating, but I am treating this as I would a restaurant. The atmosphere and decor is pleasant, and while it was very crowded in the doorway while we were waiting for a table, the seating area pleasant and didn't feel overly crowded. The waiter was friendly enough and seemed knowledgeable of the menu. I was happy with the on tap selection, whoever chose the beers to be on tap is a man or woman of refined palate. Anytime I see a beer by stone brewery, I'm immediately a fan of the drinking establishment. The only reason why I'm giving this less than 4 stars is the food. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't very good either. I got the classic cubano sandwich, and again while nothing was really wrong with it, it tasted like a sandwich I could have easily put together at home. The roasted pork was a bit dry and tasted like it had maybe been frozen for a little while. I would definitely come back to hand out and have a few drinks, and maybe a snack at the bar, but not for a full dinner. read more
