An American classic. I've known about this place my entire life and have never been here until the other day, I still remember the commercial from the 90s which is stuck in my head. There is a reason this place still stands strong and that is amazing customer service, big portions, decent prices, hearty food, and good people. Our waitress was such a sweetheart, she was very personable, caring and attentive. The food is very heavy.. Like deep fried everything. So we would come here like once a year just cause it is so heavy and hearty. But it was all very good and actually fed me fore like 2-3 dinners afterwards. Great place. 4 stars.

Been here about a million times. Consistently great service and consistently good food. Sometimes the wait is long but it's worth it. Although I highly recommend this place, I'd recommend eating in over taking out only because in my experience it's 50/50 on a takeout order in terms of it being right. Sadly they used to give you WAY more food than they do now, but it's still a good value imo

The food was very good. We got the ribs and the onion rings, to speak to some of our favorites. They were very good with great service overall. The ambiance was classic, with the booths and design being very outdated but in a good way! It was nostalgic of the restaurant I grew up going to with my family.

Now the first thing I thought was ribs in New York City. Never doubt or undestimate any establishment in any locale until you go and try it. This place truly impressed me with the presentation. And the food was on point to be in Long Island New York and have some of the best ribs. I've ever had East of the Mississippi North of the South. Displays what the 44 year's history of doing it right? Each and every time it's amazing. I encourage you to go ahead and give them a try. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

The fried chicken here would go in my hall of fame of fried chicken dishes. It was absolutely perfect. Place is old school, service is great and it's no frills. The score is based of the fried chicken alone
