"There's no good BBQ on Long Island," as quoted by Lou of his son, Josh, Founder of Blowin'…read moreSmoke... Until Now. As I craved BBQ for the umpteenth time, I was saddened by my past visits to those Long Island places that claimed bbq but were just neon lights or chain stores or just pure disappointments... and then saw a new place opened just a few months ago that was within striking distance. I couldn't resist - I had to try again... As you drive in, stay vigilant and make the correct turn - you might miss it if you go too fast on Jericho Turnpike. Drive straight down - your reward awaits you on the left. I was greeted by Lou, who runs Prime Time Butcher; he is Father to Josh of Blowin' Smoke. This is a family that knows quality meat - we are talking Generations of Butchers. As I waited for my order, Lou greeted customers that came in by name - they've been there before and he knew exactly what they wanted. (That's always a good sign.) Josh came out to greet me and apologized for the slight delay in my order. I came in on a Tuesday evening, missing the Pastrami days on Wed and Thurs, the Brisket of Fri, Sat, & Sun. So, I did what every other aficionado of BBQ would do - I ordered almost everything else to sample the range of the menu. As I left with my order, Lou asked for my honest appraisal and I promised him I would: Long Island has Good BBQ - and it can be found at Blowin' Smoke. Ask the toughest critics: my teenagers. They DEVOURED everything: pulled pork, St Louis ribs (both sauces), baby back ribs, chicken sandwiches, hamburgers, wings. They looked up and declared this was the best BBQ they've had in NY. And then they asked if we can go back again in the future - oh, yes, we will... My greatest compliment would be this: would I wear a tshirt and hat with the Blowin' Smoke logo on it? The answer is a resounding YES. (I just hope they don't do the stereotypical black color - this place is unlike any other and shouldn't look like everybody else...) Go get yourself some good BBQ at Blowin' Smoke - and make yourself happy that you did.

My husband and I ordered the 1/2 Rack St. Louis Ribs Platter, 1/2 Rack Baby Back Ribs Platter, and 6 piece wings with Sweet & Savory BBQ sauce. My favorites were the wings and the cornbread! The wings were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The cornbread was soft and fluffy and the honey was a nice touch. There was plenty of food to go around and I felt prices were reasonable. I hope they stick around as we haven't been able to find a good bbq place by us! P.S. They are take out only so be sure to place your order 20-30 minutes in advance as they smoke everything on the spot. P.P.S. If you pash cash, there is an additional discount.

About a year and a half ago i was paying ~12.50 for 2 hot dogs and a small fry (which was already an increase), now its 17.50 plus 2.5 tip got me to 20$... that is ridiculous considering that equals a 40% increase over barely 2 years!!! The total Inflation in the past 2 years was only around 5.5%... like come on guys, super disappointed. I can get 13 (THIRTEEN) hot dogs with drinks at costco for the same price. i might aswell go to tabys down the street and get a half pound burger with fries and a salad for 21$. As much as it saddens me I just cant come here anymore guys, sorry! P.S. the quality has worsened, so its not even worth it

We ordered 7 specialty dogs and a soda and it was $12 , not bad at all ! The nice lady recommended that we try the mango salsa dog and I'm happy I did , it was so delicious that I wish I ordered all of them like that , perfect flavor combination of hot n sweet ! My husband ordered the chili cheese and I took a bite that was also really really good , the chili was delightfully hot but not overkill . I would most definitely stop here again for some unique hot dogs , service with a smile and to see the cute purple truck !

We started out ordering the impossible burgers and we were shocked at how delicious they were. Eventually, we just started ordering the regular burgers, I don't even care what's in them. They're so delicious and the sauce they put on it is epic. You have to dip your fries in it Another thing to mention is that the customer service is amazing. They are so friendly and attentive to whatever you need. I won't get a burger from anywhere else. I am a customer for life, even if that life is cut short from eating too many burgers here.

So before my boyfriend and I arrived, I made sure to check the menu and reviews and saw great reviews on their veggie burger and curly fries. My boyfriend and I got two very different meals but both were left very happy. I got the veggie smash with lettuce and tomato which was arguably the best burger I've ever had. My boyfriend said he has never seen me so quiet while eating but it was because I was savoring every bite. He got the chicken sandwich which he said had a nice kick. Finally, we both devoured the curly fries! For 30 something bucks for a dinner for 2, this place is one of the best deals in Huntington hands down. We will definitely be returning for more food and to try their shakes!

This is my new favorite Ben's Deli. I guess we've been to so many Ben's Delicatessens that you can…read moreactually have a favorite. We came in before noon on a Sunday and had our choice of tables. Their deli offerings are pretty consistent between stores, with a large double-sided tabloid sized menu. But the service here is just that much better because Marjorie was our server and she treated us like we were her family. As at all Ben's Deli's, you always start with a deep bowl of pickles and a boat of tasty cole slaw (don't be shy if you want a refill). The soup of the day is Chicken a la Reine, which is basically cream of chicken and I love all creamy soups. It comes in a large, wide bowl, but I miss having saltine crackers in my soup. My wife orders the Rachel Panini with pastrami on rye and 2 Ultimate Paninis, one with pastrami & corned beef for me and pastrami & brisket for my son. All the sandwiches are toasted on the panini press and come with a choice of potatoes as a side and Russian dressing. My wife and son go with potato latkes and I go with the thick cut crinkle fries like the Nathan's fries down in Coney Island. Theirs come with apple sauce, which I like to slurp up as dessert. Gotta come back next time to try out the Ben's Deli Dog or maybe a nice Hot Open Brisket sandwich with plenty of gravy.

Our experience was disappointing from start to finish. We waited more than 45 minutes for our food,…read moreand during that time, there was no communication from our server regarding the delay. When my father-in-law spoke with a manager about the wait, the attitude of the service staff seemed to change. The food was later brought to the table in a manner that felt rushed and unprofessional, as if our concerns had become an inconvenience. To make matters worse, my order was incorrect. I ordered a turkey burger with salami, but was served a turkey burger with pastrami instead. I initially thought something looked different, and later confirmed on the receipt that the order had been entered incorrectly. No one checked back to ensure the order was correct, so the mistake went unnoticed until after the meal. Mistakes can happen in any restaurant, and delays are understandable when a business is busy. What was most disappointing was the lack of communication, the apparent frustration shown by the staff after we raised a concern, and the overall feeling that customer service was not a priority. We have enjoyed Ben's in the past, which makes this experience particularly disappointing. We hope management will take this feedback constructively and use it as an opportunity to improve both service and communication.

I also felt the pricing was quite fair. Id probably opt to come her over Starbucks.
