First Impressions

Try Atlantic Deli on Atlantic Ave in Freeport. I had the Cutlet Hero once and it was pretty good. All their heros are. My favorite there is the #7, the Champ, turkey, bacon, l&t, choice of cheese and I go with Russian dressing. Their Godfather is also very good.

That sounds great!

Any one have any good Steak House recommendations, since pink steak has been a rare commodity of late with the pandemic concerns? I’m sure some are spending their hobby money on beef instead.

I go to Costco. I get a pkg of 4 NY strip for around $40.
Bring back home and grill to perfection.

Cliff's Rendezvous in Riverhead...very good steak there.

Want to thank you guys for recommending Farmingdale Meats. i get meat there all the time now. I still like Uncle Guiseppes for ribs and lamb chops. I get pork butt there all the time. Plus Brisket.

Imo Long island restaurants are nothing memorable. I will say I used to like River Bay in Williston Park before they sold it. H20 in Smithtown is decent.

Zans Kosher deli in lake Grove is ok. If still there. Umbertos New Hyde Park is ok. Cuginis in Mineola has good solid pizza. Manhattan steak house in Cedarhurst was one of the best steaks around in Long island. Peter Luger Great neck was pretty good. Years ago when I went.

For me go to Queens or Manhattan for a better dining experience. Meet the meat in Astoria is great, Taverna Kyclades in Astoria for Greek fare, Akrotiri, Matiz Forest hills Spanish fare.

Pork butt, ribs and brisket. It's sounds like you run a smoker.

Yup - The pork butt takes the longest time ... I usually would get up like at 3 AM to start. Next time I am going to put it on before I go to bed at lie 11 or 12. It will get done earlier .... I will just wrap it in butcher paper and let it rest in a cooler for a couple of hours.

Wow they are still around. The Filets used to be the size of a softball

Wollensky grill. Way better the the stuffy upstairs. Or the Old Homestead. Those are the NYC choices.
For the island Tellers, Majors & George Martin’s Strip Steak. All solid choices in my opinion.

I wish I had some of your BBQ ! Went to Mighty Quinns in Garden City recently, I can't begin to tell you how awful it was. Terrible!

Ribs had to be sawed off with a knife to attempt to eat them, chewy, salty. Nasty!

Pulled pork was all fatty skin hidden at bottom of the plate with a few pieces on top.

I hate trashing places, but what a disgrace.

I don't get why they would make crappy pulled pork. POrk butt is cheap - trim it properly and smoke it. I think pork butt is my favorite meat to smoke. I like ribs too but I can smoke one pork butt and it is a lot of food. I freeze some and I have enough pulled pork for a long time. The next time I will probably do 2 pork butts. You actually go me thinking about doing that real soon before it gets too cold to go outside!

Went to the one in Clifton NJ last year and it was decent.

I couldn't believe how bad it was 'Lyme. The fact they packed that into my bag and called it bbq was a dishonor to all the real pit masters down south and the home cooks who dabble.
