    Reuben, BLT with avocado, and onion rings
    Julia S.

    Been wanting to stop in here since moving to the North Fork - what an awesome time capsule! Popped in for lunch on a sunny Thursday and it did not disappoint. Reuben was delish and I had it with their great potato salad. My partner enjoyed his BLT with avocado and coleslaw. The onion rings were cooked perfectly. The milkshakes were such a treat and love getting the metal cup with the extra! Friendly staff, quick service, and fun atmosphere. Great spot on Main Street and can't wait to come back for breakfast.

    What a cute little place! We loved the cute decor and the old times vibe. The soda fountain and the grill being out front let us see all the action. The tin ceilings and the tile floors added to the charm. We needed a hearty breakfast and we got what we needed. The blueberry pancakes were huge and fluffy and full of blueberries. The French toast was good. The omelet with bacon and cheddar was well cooked. The potatoes were just ok, a little dry, but it's ok because I was full after the omelet anyways. Coffee was fresh and refilled quickly. Service was friendly. The place was rather full so we did wait a bit but it's ok because we enjoyed relaxing and hanging out. Definitely will come back again when we are int h As a reminder - this place is cash only but there is an ATM inside.

    There is no finer chocolate shake. One size is sort of medium. Homemade ice cream. Try the chocolate. They must add syrup because it's divine. Will run you $8 plus tip. Open until 2 or so most days call ahead. Nick the original proprietor is now gone after beginning this Riverhead downtown favorite but his family carries on with the same old fashioned luncheonette / homemade ice cream tradition.

    Star confectionery is a great local spot. The owner Anthony I believe does most of the cooking himself, talk about quality control, lol! Some say breakfast is breakfast but I disagree they do it very well here and anyone who's had a doughy bad pancake knows what I'm talking about. I'm a big fan of the little sausages and I asked for a dark toasted English muffin and got it that way. I can't tell you all the times I get a soggy half toasted mess. Any way if you want to step back in time this is your place. Enjoy in good health.

    Still the best breakfast or lunch in the North Fork. Tuna melt was tops. Pancakes were perfect and never, EVER get service without a friendly greeting from Anthony and staff. Thumbs up!

    Decent food, slow but friendly service. The restaurant has a nice local vibe and the menu has something for everyone. Avocado BLT, hot dog, & turkey sandwich all were good. I think the kids like the hot cocoa best though. Definitely a solid post-aquarium spot.

    This is one of those secret neighborhood gems that no one wants to get the word out. Star Confectionery is a quaint luncheonette that makes homemade ice cream, homemade lemonade, you get my vibe. Norman Rockwell would get inspiration from this luncheonette on Main St Riverhead. All this sounds great! The "Confectionery" of Star Confectionery, is why I'm here. For Years, I always swing by, too close to Easter to pick up a chocolate bunny for my wife. And every year I'm told, nope. your too late. Dang! Well, I stopped in April Fools Day to get a chocolate bunny for Easter 2019. Neighborhood people have been coming here for decades and have fond memories of Star Confectionery chocolate in their Easter Baskets. The proprietor makes these treats for because he knows it brings joy to his customers. And don't think your gonna rush in and bite off the bunny ears. The bunnies made here are SOLID milk chocolate! None of this hollow nonsense, they pour their homemade chocolate into a bunny mold made 50+ years ago. I grabbed two bunnies: One Milk Chocolate and One Dark Chocolate. The dark bunny, man.. I cut that sucka up the second we walked in the door to get chocolate wasted. Just some old school chocolate being made at Star Confectionery. If you want something different, buy a chocolate Bunny at Star Confectionery. They make a limited amount of bunnies, this is old school chocolate at its finest. A true Long Island gem.

    Great little place. Fun people. I recommend. All the salad sandwiches (egg, chicken) were amazing.

    Clueless, nasty, disorganized, takes forever to get anything. Time for a new owner.

    My wife and I were meeting a friend who lives in Laurel for dinner. We researched local restaurants…read moreand came across the Watershed Kitchen and Inn on OpenTable. The description of the restaurant, the menus and the reviews online made us to decide to give them a try. We're so glad that we did! We entered through the bar entrance which was lively but not crazy loud. There was a musician setting up in one corner of the bar area. We could hear him during our dinner but it was not at all distracting (and he was quite good). We were greeted by one of the hosts (who I now believe may be one of the owners). We were welcomed and escorted to a table in the dining room right behind the bar area. From what I could determine, there were at least two other dining areas and an outside dining area (for dining during the nicer weather). Our server quickly came to welcome us, ask if we had questions about the menu / specials and to take our drink order. She was attentive, pleasant and was able to quickly and accurately answer questions that we had (we have some dietary restrictions and needed to verify some ingredients. She knew immediately what we could order to dine safely. We started our order with the Chiccharon appetizer. I had anticipated that the item would be traditional crispy Chiccaron. Instead the dish was more of a pork belly in a broth. We actually enjoyed that much more! It was plentiful, cooked to perfection and flavorful. For dinner my wife and our friend ordered the sea bass special. They both thought it was plentiful, perfectly prepared and tasted great. I ordered the pork chop with spicy cherry peppers in a light evoo broth. I told our server that I wasn't eating potatoes or rice and asked for a recommendation for a substitute. She recommended the broccolini which was a perfect alternative. My pork chop was served perfectly (medium, juicy,) and was huge! We passed on dessert but the options looked amazing. We will absolutely be back again SOON. Thank you.

    My friend and I went to Cooperage Inn to try out the menu for Restaurant week and I was very…read moresurprised at how well the evening went. Our waitress was wonderful and greeted us and gave us a menu for Restaurant week as well as the regular menu. The dining room was cozy and the decorations at the entrance were beautiful. We started with calamari from the regular menu, as well as chicken pot pie rolls with cranberry sauce and baked clams from the restaurant week menu. Then for my entrée, I got the flat iron steak with gorogonzola and chimichurri sauce, and my friend got the catch of the day which was a mahi-mahi. We both really enjoyed our meals and had a lot of leftovers. I liked the steamed veggies and mashed potatoes that my steak came with and she really enjoyed the fish then when we got to the end, we each got to pick a dessert and we tried the cappuccino mousse chocolate cake, as well as the chocolate ice cream. Then on the back of the receipt, there's a stamp for 10% off to purchase pies at the window outside from their sister location, NoFo Pot Pies. We had a great time here and service was excellent. I am looking forward to our next visit.

We had access to bathrooms right next to the space as well. The predetermined menu offered choices for salad, entree and dessert. We were asked about drinks upon arrival and refills during our meal, as well as coffee with dessert. My garden salad was full of a variety of greens and vegetables and the vinaigrette dressing was a perfect complement. Others at my table enjoyed the Cesar salad option. My entree was enormous, a perfectly cooked and very large piece of salmon. Served with rice and steamed veggies, it was yummy, filling, and satisfying. I would definitely return for a meal.
