What is the rating

Good place to go eat & watch a sporting event ( baseball, foorball in season ,even some boxing events)

How much does it cost per person for brunch? Do they do a buffet style menu?

If you have to ask stay home

In my opinion, I would NOT go when Jackie C is there. There are plenty of other places to go. When we were at the table with our kids, there were a bunch of mistakes with the food. My salad was never brought to me, yet every single person at the table got theirs, and my daughter's wings were hot when she ordered BBQ. Then, there's the bartender... she hit on my husband and I found text messages from her in his phone. Obviously knew he was happily married with kids. Yup, wont be returning to this place, or any other Main Event. And if I could give no stars I would.

Decent place to visit if you like a sports bar environment and not looking for a quiet meal. Food was fine, staff is friendly. We ordered the Olympic (or was it Olympia?) platter which is a huge portion of food that the three of us could barely finish. We saved some room for the main course which was good.

Pretty solid spot. If you've ever been to a sports bar like Greene Turtle, this experience is very similar. Individual tables and larger tables accommodating different size groups. Lots of TVs so you can watch basically 5 things at once. Pretty solid bar/sports food. Service is also very good. Attentive staff.

Reasonable food at a rational price point. Have been here several times and have never been disappointed. The wait staff is always friendly, the food is always tasty and well prepared. Parking is readily available and handicapped spaces are also available. They keep the toilets scrupulously clean and well maintained. Recommended

Frequent this place regularly considering it's down the clock. Service is great. Food is usually tasty and well-proportioned, however most recently, my wife and I experienced bad stomach discomfort the day after we had a late-night dinner. Since this happened only this one time, we will brush it off as an outlier, though it is disappointing since we were leaning on considering them our go-to spot. For a Sports Bar I'm not too sure why they only promote NFL, MLB and NHL games and ignore NBA playoff action, considering basketball is the second most popular sport in the US. Also, their burgers are good but not sure why they don't use a brioche or regular hamburger bun instead of a stale kaiser roll, since everything in between the kaiser roll is great tasting.

Sports bar and restaurant. The servers are all good and responsive to your needs. Good burgers and seafood. When my wife and I were uncomfortable with the AC blower on us, Cara our server changed our seating and made our dining experience a pleasure. Thank you Cara.

Ordered the Grand Slam burger, a few draft beers, and a cappuccino during UFC 229. Burger with accessories were fresh and delicious - the onions, mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, red onion, medium cooked patty, crispy fries - total package. Drinks were tasty, cappuccino was yummy, and server was attentive to our table during a packed night. TV's are set everywhere, all good seats. Great place, would certainly come back!

Holy mackerel! The speed of service in this place is second to none! Wonderful servers!Great fried calamari, good fish and chips, and a wide selection of beers on tap. A little pricey but worth the extra dollars for what you get. Make this your next stop for dinner when you're in this part of Long Island.

3 stars is pretty generous for this place and it was mostly cause the staff was really nice but the way our table was set up it was at a weird angle and we were on too of another table for no reason even the waitresses could barely get through to give food and the food itself definitely was not that great no where close to giving me that wow factor like I would need to come back the grilled chicken and eggplant wrap was very bland it needed like seasoning it tasted like a wrap I could get at a local deli for 8$ instead this was 16$ to pay 16$ for a wrap I expected it to have better flavor then to taste like it came from a deli and most menu prices were not that cheap either the mashed potatoes were decent and the fries were decent but not something I would go back for the menu is too big and the various food options of cuisine from pasta dishes to greek to mexican to burgers like you cant focus on one thing to be really good and everything just tastes average

Good food, great bar and choice of drinks and beers. Definitely no way of missing a game or sporting event sitting in this restaurant/sports bar with the high end large TVs throughout. Good for a hangout, family and friends not looking to do sports watching. Happy that they opened up another location closer so I can visit that location next.

Easy to see right off of Old Country Road servicing Plainview and the adjoining areas of Nassau County. Plenty of parking and a wheelchair accessible entrance. Moderately clean facilities. Public Restrooms. Reasonably priced. Credit cards accepted. Nice staff. Give it a try and you decide.

Food was delicious, definitely better than what it looks like it would taste like. Lol. Place looks like an applebees but food tasted like quality restaurant food. Didnt earn 5 stars because there was a kids party at same time and kids were running all over restaurant and were extremely loud. Other than that excellent

I've been here many times. Ordering could take awhile because of all the choices. The burgers and the marinated steak tidbits are favorites. Alot of TV's showing all the different sports going on. Just tell the wait staff if you want to see your favorite game close up and they will accommodate you. Make sure you make reservations if there are important games being played!
