1. Bigelow's New England Fried

Reviewed By JandLfromNY - NY
Bigelow's has been here forever, and is virtually unchanged !
The fried soft-bellied clams are KILLER, the best anywhere. The onion rings and fries are freshly made and perfect. Chowder is wonderful. Service is fast and super attentive with servers asking often if everything is to customer liking.
Not super cheap, but great seafood isn't. Good value can be had by ordering half portions or appetizers which are HUGE.
Ambience is lunch counter, but the seafood is Haut Cuisine.

This diner was recommended by friends, as we wished o find a half way point to meet up with friends. We were pleasantly surprised to find an attractive layout, nice sized booths, and great service. There were also some different options on their very extensive menu.

4. River Mill Tavern & Tables

River Mill Tavern & Tables is a perfect place to get some great tasting food whether you come for lunch, dinner or brunch. The menu is exciting with foods you can easily recognize and understand. The chef here takes favorite comfort food and ofen recreates it with a refreshing update. Plenty of yummy appetizers to help ease down the cocktails and their popular beers on tap. I like their huge pretzels with the dip. Chicken wings can be ordered with your choice sauce other than just the traditional. Try their Bitburger beer on tap, quite refreshingly good. Another popular option is to try the local beers on tap.
A real treat is to come to their weekend brunch. Now here's the treat. Their cornbread is given to you gratis. But it's so so good, you'll even order another one for just $3. It's that yummy. Try to resist that urge but trust me, you can't. Heck, order it to go so you don't look like a child gouching down a yummy donut. No one will see how you eat it at home, haha! Highlights Brick Chicken & Waffles and their Egg in the Bowl! Their Chorizo Scramble or their Steak & Eggs are also popular choices. For $10 as you dine, unlimited mimosas, screwdrivers, bellini, bloody mary's, etc. Not a bad deal considering the qualitt of food being served their. Only one pet peeve of mine is that why is there only one egg served with the Egg in the bowl and as well with the Chicken waffle dish? For $16, please add an extra egg alright? Just a suggestion. I'll order the Steak & Eggs and get my extra egg for $22. Happy Eating and I'll see you around the table from time to time and maybe I'll get an extra egg next time!

I LOVE Indian food . We eat it a lot usually trekking to Hicksville which is far from us. I was looking for closer good Indians restaurants, and discover Raagini. It was surprisingly awesome. I got the paneer tiki masala , and the chicken korma with the stuffed garlic nann. It was excellent! So happy to find great Indian food closer to home. And BYOB is really nice!!

EAT Gastropub's goal is to bring fresh, "good" (mostly organic and non-GMO) food to the way people EAT. At EGP, we elevate traditional pub cuisine using organic grass-fed beef, fresh produce from our greenhouse, and other homemade or locally sourced food and condiments. In the EGB pastry kitchen, we create our own desserts using the best chocolate and fruits. We believe in bringing health and a higher quality to America's greatest food. Customers love our philly cheesesteak eggroll, pretzel, BBQ and buffalo wings, burgers, and chicken pot pie. If you are going to EAT well, we want you to drink well too. We offer 24 craft beers on tap (and change them up weekly) as well as original artisanal cocktails created by world renowned mixologist, Willy Shine. Sticking with the EGP concept, he has created cocktails that incorporate freshly squeezed juice, homemade flavored syrups, and even a selection of ice that is most appropriate to your drink. EAT well, EAT safe, EAT gastropub.

After seeing the positive reviews for this restaurant I expected a better experience. The inside seating was so over air conditioned that we chose to eat outside in the covered patio. The street noise was overwhelming. We had a fabulous appetizer, the "philly cheesesteak" egg rolls but our main courses were mediocre at best. The "50/50" burger was awful! Not likely that I will go there again.

Reviewed By Masterpiecetran - New York
This restaurant has so much potential but unfortunately each time I have gone there I've left pretty disappointed. The surroundings are very nice and the owner should be commended for having created such a wonderful ambiance for the diners. However, the food is consistently subpar and leaves me bewildered. today I went for lunch with some colleagues and ordered the seafood crepes. I was astonished first off that when the dish arrived the crepe had been enveloped in a thick slice of cheese. Yuck! It looked like it was coated in plastic. Inside was no better. The seafood (shrimps, scallops) seemed to have come straight from a can. It was tasteless and hard. Definitely not fresh and not even frozen. It was terrible. It's as if little effort and even less skill goes into preparing their food. I don't understand how they can serve such mediocre food in such a nice place. Whoever is cooking should step aside and let a realchef take over. this place could be a real success if the food were better. It's very sad.

Reviewed By treking - Potomac, MD
There doesn't seem to be much in variety of cuisines in the area, so it is nice to eat something "different". This may not be the best restaurant I have ever eaten in, but it is better than most. Also, it is quiet so it is not necessary to yell above a crowd. We found the service to be fine.

I went here with 11 former high school classmates for a mini reunion. Since most of them live on Long Island, we decided to find a place convenient for everyone. Chadwick's was recommended and it was a great choice. The lunch menu is quite varied with something for everyone: salads, sandwiches, burgers to full entrees. And the wine list is sufficient and not overly priced. My one complaint is this: I originally made the reservation for 8 and had to increase it to 12. I did so on the Sunday before our luncheon. When we got there, I was told that I only had a reservation for 8! We had to wait while they hastily put together some tables to accommodate our larger party. Not a catastrophe, just an inconvenience. And not a word of apology was offered. Bad customer service.
