The spicy 5 Brothers syrup is exquisite on the chicken, and the waffles were cooked perfectly and paired very nicely with the chicken.

I will admit, I haven't been to Arooga's since 2017, and I didn't have a good experience. I swore…read moreI'd never return..I kept that promise until today after 4 years of living in Patchogue and I was pleasantly surprised! I stopped in for lunch, and I must say they have one of the best lunch offerings in town. A full entree with choice of side (fries, chips or slaw), and a fountain drink for only $13! I ordered the tavern chicken sandwich without the bun and it was very good! It was topped with some delicious smoked Gouda cheese and it also had bacon, shrooms, tomato and honey mustard. I chose fries as my side which were nice and crispy and seasoned well. Now normally this sandwich is $18. You can't beat this lunch special at all! Service was lovely. I opted to sit at the bar. Caroline was my bartender and she was a delight. I'm glad to see they improved from my last visit nearly 10 years ago. I definitely plan on returning again!

Especially, since I hear their first location closed. I've always like both of them. They had killer paninis and the staff was always fun. We were given a private side area where we had some bar food, pasta, chicken and eggplant. Everything was delish. From what I understand they still hold community event here. It's something I always admired about the spot. I would def come back if in the area!

We later realized they offer $8 appetizers during happy hour on other nights, which made the promotion feel a little less special. The appetizers (Mozzetta Triangles and Pretzel Nuggets) were the highlight of the meal and were much better than the entrees. Unfortunately, the entrees took an unusually long time to arrive, we eventually had to ask about them because we thought they had been forgotten. The menu is also a bit pricier than we're used to, and the food quality didn't justify the cost. On the positive side, the ambiance was nicer than expected. The bar and dining areas are spacious, and there are two outdoor seating sections, one enclosed and one open. The outdoor space, in particular, seemed like it would be a great place to host a party, with plenty of seating and a comfortable layout.

I went to Rudi's for the Jose Reyes Mets event, and it was an absolute shit show…read more I've been to plenty of athlete appearances at bars and restaurants on Long Island, and I've never seen one run this poorly. First, if your place is simply too small to host an event like this, don't host it. The bar has maybe 12-15 tables and a rectangular bar. There was never enough room for the crowd that showed up. Second, if you're expecting people who have never been there before, tell them reservations are accepted. A simple line in the event announcement would have saved a lot of frustration. We showed up an hour early and stood in line to be seated for 15-20 minutes before a waitress finally told us every table had been reserved. She also explained that many of the customers were regulars who weren't leaving anytime soon. Then she took down names for a waiting list, only to tell everyone that we might never actually get called. So what was the point of taking names? By the time 7:00 rolled around, the place was packed beyond belief. If the fire code wasn't being tested, I'd be surprised. It felt like being packed in like sardines. Fortunately, I know the collectibles dealer who works with Jose Reyes, so I was able to meet Jose outside, get photos with him, and also with Mr. and Mrs. Met. That made the trip worthwhile. When I went back inside to say hello to a friend, I thought I was going to get trampled by the crowd. After that, we left. If Rudi's didn't want my business, the Cheesecake Factory certainly did. I got the free photo with Jose Reyes, spent exactly zero dollars at Rudi's, and enjoyed dinner elsewhere. Their loss was the Cheesecake Factory's gain.

Hey Long Island, meet Memphis and Texas!! Wow wow woohoo!! Had an incredible experience at Bobbique…read morelet me tell you! Listen, I love smokin BBQ and really enjoy putting in the time for those long cooks as a hobby. So heres my experience and how I came to love this place. Came in on a gorgeous day in May, the BBQ season knocking on the door. I BBQ year round but tis the season is what I'm getting at; and was just jiving for some good smoked BBQ. Thing is I didn't have the time to get a cook going since getting home from work late so we decided to give this well recommended spot a shot. Wow what a great choice and sooo happy we came here!! Some things were ordered were the St. Louis ribs, pulled pork, BBQ chicken, jumbo BBQ chicken wings...sides were collard greens, red potato salad and mac & cheese: and every single item was outstanding. All came with the staple corned bread. I wish could have ordered the whole menu, everything looked great but sort of "aimed in the middle" I suppose. The ribs were tender, with a perfect bite pull. Great smoke flavor..just was a real nice rib. The pulled pork was juicy, and the BBQ chicken and their jumbo wings were on point; crispy skin and juicy meat. The collard greens, potato salad and mac & cheese were great sides to complete but they have much more sides to choose from let me tell you. Had a really unique experience and one of my highlights of the visit was having the pleasure and opportunity to meet and take a quick tour with chef and owner Eric, who takes real pride in what he does. It's immediately clear the passion, dedication, and respect he has for the craft of true smoked BBQ. Whats important to understand is how difficult it is to master smoked BBQ. Authentic smoked BBQ is NOT fast food!! Brisket alone can take anywhere from 12-18 hours to cook properly, and unlike many other styles of cooking, mistakes cannot simply be fixed quickly. If pasta is overcooked, you make another batch. If a steak is undercooked, you throw it back on the grill. If a sauce is under seasoned you can adjust it..etc BBQ doesn't work like that! To use brisket again..If a brisket dries out after an hours long cook (mostly started overnight before the restaurant even opens) that entire piece of meat is basically gone. You cannot "undo" it. List goes on for everything else... Quality BBQ is hard to come by, especially outside places like Memphis and Texas. Real BBQ is one of the few forms of cooking where the chef is controlling a live fire, timing, airflow, smoke, temperature, and consistency all at the same time. You gotta appreciate this stuff! Ladies and gentlemen, Bobbique is one of those unique places that truly respects the craft. This place is firing on all cylinders! You will taste the experience, patience, and hard work in every bite. I 100% definitely recommend making this your go to for great BBQ. Absolutely worth the visit. I can't wait to come back to this spot!
