Things to do in Lawrence
1. Lucky Boy Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 62 reviews
Lucky Boy Restaurant has served The 5 Towns in the South Shore of Long Island and surrounding areas for over 30 years. From authentic Greek-Mediterranean cuisine to American classics and everything in between. Leave room for our homemade cakes, pastries and tarts that are the talk of the county! Also try our other restaurant Yiasou Cafe, which is located in Sullivan County, NY.

Five of us came here for a birthday celebration. Although there is not much ambiance or parking , this place makes up for it in friendliness and yumminess! I highly recommend the stuffed eggplant and any of their desserts. There aren't many tables and it can be a bit of a tight squeeze but it is worth it!

Pleasant staff. Not always attentive. Average
Food is decent. I'm not blown away by it. Average.
Portions seem to subtly shrink while prices don't.
A pleasant experience overall but not spectacular.
Would I go back ? Sure
Would I wait on line to be seated? No.

My wife and I took my mom here for lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the great quality of the food, and generous portions, along with very good service despite being understaffed. I say that because they had two party's going on at the time of our arrival with only one server, who was trying his best to provide good service but needless to say it was an obvious challenge for him.
This is a glatt kosher deli which are becoming more and more scarce these days. Wife and I both started off with chicken matzoh ball soup. It was excellent with a good tasting broth filled with carrots, chicken and a large but light and fluffy matzoh ball. My hot pastrami, corned beef sandwich on rye was delicious and stacked high, as was my moms schnitzel sandwich which came with home made hand cut fries. My wife had a large portioned tip of the tounqe which was lean and according to her very tasty. And of course they placed nice sized bowls of fresh coleslaw and pickles on the table, when we arrived. An excellent meal and the prices were moderate.

Went to this restaurant on the recommendation of one of our party. We had a reservation but were taken approximately 30 minutes later.
Several different dishes were ordered, however of the dishes, three came in missing items or special requests. My chicken valdestano was loaded with flour filled gravy and very tasteless and unappealing. Other's in my party felt the same way I did with an assortment of entrees. I had asked for pasta and parmesan cheese. The waiter spilled tablespoons of cheese in my lap. The evening seemed to be a fiasco.
Service was abrupt and non attentive. Even the head waiter who had taken some of the orders couldn't keep things straight.
I have written many reviews, most with happy endings. I can only say, I will not return to this restaurant anytime soon.
5. Dunkin' Donuts

Reviewed By EMK260 - Brooklyn, New York
THE GOOD - Coffee & food is good - similar to the rest of the kosher foods served at the chain. The location is at a crossroads that's convenient while handling local errands or heading out on trips.
THE BAD - Not enough parking on Sundays & peak hours.
THE UGLY - Lines are often long on Sundays, Holidays & peak hours.

Diner Resteraunt serving the community for over 50 years. 15 Minute Drive form NY JFK Airport (5 miles)
Reviewed By Steve K - Brooklyn, New York
Went to breakfast with my girlfriend. She is very fussy but gave her meal the thumbs up. I had a roll with two friend eggs and a large tomato juice.
Before we left I had to use the bathroom, as did my partner. To my glee it was spotless. I shared this with the manager.
I go here for lunch every three months with my good friend Jamie. We enjoy the company and the food. Service of course depends on your server.
No problem with the sherwood. They even let my cousin play mah jong in the back room.
A vestige if the glory days of goodfellas.

I went with friends and we ordered many different dishes from the menu to share. Everything was very tasty. Not the largest portions but all dishes were plated well and very flavorful. I can't remember everything that we ordered but there was a very tasty eggplant dish that was in the form of meatballs and i highly recommend it. It was a bit pricey but when the service is great and the food is as well that isn't an issue.
