We went tonight for the wednesday fried chicken special, we went early with little kids and it was perfect! It was pretty quiet (early) and the servers were attentive and even joked with my 4 year old. Much appreciated when it can be so stressful to dine out with little ones. The drinks and food were yummy and we'll be happy to come back!
Food was just okay here. Person who ate Tacos said they were good but salty same thing with the shrimp dish. Good but too salty. I had the sea bass but it was grilled and on top of quinoa. Not moist. They don't have American cheese for the children's dishes, so neither of the two children with us could eat their food. Grilled cheese, sandwich and Burger.
**Review for Snaps Restaurant**
Rating: ★★★★★
My experience at Snaps Restaurant was exceptional! The value for the quality of food offered is hard to beat. I had the pleasure of being waited on by Dakota, who truly made the evening memorable.
We ordered the truffle French fries, which were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. For dessert, the chocolate cake with a scoop of ice cream was rich and indulgent, while the sundae was a delightful treat that rounded off our meal perfectly. We also enjoyed two Diet Cokes to wash it all down.
From the moment I arrived, Dakota listened carefully to my preferences for how I wanted my meal prepared. Her attention to detail and professionalism were evident throughout the dining experience. Every dish was delivered exactly as I had requested, and the flavors were outstanding.
If you're looking for a restaurant that offers fantastic food at great prices, I highly recommend Snaps. Be sure to ask for Dakota—she’ll make your visit unforgettable!

Food was alright, workers were quick and attentive but there was this dark green stuff on the cheese of my burger don’t know if it’s supposed to be part of the meal. Place was empty at 10pm if you don’t want a line.
They certainly give you plenty of food with your order. We had crispy dumplings, octopus, and chili wings as apps. The dumplings were my favorite. For the main course, I had the chicken milanese, and it was awesome. For dessert, we ordered the coconut bread pudding and the creme brulee (which i had to look up the spelling for). Everything was great, but my absolute favorite was the coconut bread pudding it was fire! The service was also very, very good. The only 2 slightly negative things i would say about this place are, 1. It was a little noisy in there, so not the ideal place for a romantic dinner, and 2, they could give you a little more creme brulee. The spoon hit bottom as soon as it got past the crust. Definitely not a deal breaker, and I would 100% recommend!
I hate leaving a review that isn’t positive, but I have to be honest. I came in with high expectations about a week and a half ago, and my entree was downright awful. We started with the Grilled Octopus appetizer, which was PHENOMENAL!! And my boyfriend got a burger, which was standardly yummy, but nothing special. My issue was with my entree, which was a special on their menu.
It sounded great on paper. Baked gnocchi aka vodka with lobster tails and burrata?!?! All of my favorite things. It came out on a hot skillet and smelled so delicious. My gnocchi was so stuck to the iron I could barely get it off to eat it, and the ones I did eat were rock solid.
The lobster tails were very overcooked, to the point where the meat didn’t come off the shell because it was so rubbery and adhered to the actual tail part.
I then asked the waiter if there was a trick to getting the lobster meat off / if he thought it was overcooked, and this man literally just threw his hands in the air and said “you just have to try harder”. IT WAS RUBBER! I shouldn’t be fighting with my food and borderline exercising at the dinner table????
I live nearby and was so excited to support a local business. A horrible entree is forgivable (and I am a forgiving customer), but straight up rude service is not. Needless to say, I will not be back.
(The truffle fries are delicious and worthy of a 2nd star.)

I love going to concerts here! Not a bad seat in the house. It is always clean and the staff is so friendly. The view of the water around the stage is amazing. And the speakers are perfect volume for an outdoor venue. Will return every summer!
good seats all around, but be aware there are parts of the GA and surrounding area that sink down during shows, so you may be standing ankle deep in water - wear appropriate footwear!
Such a cool venue for outdoor summer concerts! If you enjoy music, this is definitely a must. Nothing feels better than a nice breeze on a summer evening, beautiful views and chill vibes by the beach while enjoying not only great music but a spectacular light show that Jones Beach Theater does a great job at orchestrating every time!
One of the most beautiful venues in the country. So happy my first show there was to see my favorite band. This place is magical! Ocean right behind the venue, moon roses right above the stage, and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Will be back again for sure
Free concert on the beach. The sound lag was intense between the singers and the crowd singing. But was a cool free experience and they have a screen so you can see the artists.
It's still my favorite place to see concerts on Long Island! Wonderful shows all summer long. There's always something for everyone! Not a bad seat in the house!
Attending a Counting Crows concert at Jones Beach was an unforgettable experience, earning a resounding 5 out of 5. The combination of the iconic band and the stunning venue created a night to remember.
Jones Beach offers a breathtaking setting right by the water, adding an extra layer of magic to the event. The amphitheater setup ensures that every seat provides a great view of the stage, and the acoustics are on point, allowing every note to shine.
The staff's organization and efficiency contribute to a smooth and enjoyable visit. The facilities are well-maintained, and navigating the venue is hassle-free, even with a large crowd.

Best venue on the East Coast with a view of the Atlantic Ocean.
Not a bad seat in the house, superb acoustics, and free parking to boot.
The customer service and venue staff are excellent, and the food and beverage options are above average.
If you haven't, you must!

I've been attending concerts here for decades. I'm an Islander and love to be at the shore. What's better than hearing my favorite music live as the sun goes down, the moon rises in the salty air. I experienced the VIP area for the first time recently. It is beautiful. The new menu and drinks are amazing! The staff is exceptional! When I'm here, I'm home.
We saw Foreigner on Tuesday evening and it was fabulous! The back ground of the water & the new moon was so cool. Great evening!! We had an issues with out tickets on our phone and the ticket desk was very helpful. The staff at the venue was very friendly. Everyone says hello to us.
I saw the Culture Club in July 2023 and I took my daughter to see Selena Gomez here almost a decade ago. This arena/stadium in perfect. The seats are way more comfortable than the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn.
They have an excellent vendor selection for refreshments and you're on the beach enjoying skies, fresh air, ocean breeze and a show. Who can ask for anything more?

Went to the Loverboy/Foreigner concert, and it was awesome! The grounds are really great and they have tons of vendors all around the inside perimeter with everything you can imagine. Food, drinks, clothing, everything. Our seats were great and it was a beautiful evening with perfect weather 😍 💕 Great night!
One of my favorite venues in NYC. summer concerts here are the best. Food is very mediocre and very expensive. But the view and vibe makes it all the worthwhile.
This theater is a diamond 💎 on the water. It is one of the best places to see a show. Rain or shine, you will have fun. The atmosphere is second to none. The sound is amazing, and the view is gorgeous. Fairly easy to get to, and parking is free after 6 pm, I think. Find the schedule and pick a show. You'll never look back.
Great outdoor concert venue! Each summer I look at their event calendar and try to get tickets for a few shows. The setting on the water is almost magical. There's no bad seat. It's a bit of a pain to get out there on a weekday due to traffic. Plan on going early and tailgating or hitting the beach if you can go early enough. Parking is free - they get you with crazy expensive concessions... another reason to tailgate before.
Snaps "snapped", sorry to say. So stand by for the "good, great, bad and the ugly"... Father's Day was not how we would have liked it... The place was not even half full, we were seated right away in a back("overflow room") why? It took a couple inquires and over 1/2hr to get a server, not off to a good start!
Finally an apologetic server(Frank) was apparently filled in to help us. He was very thorough, took our drink order, helped out with our food choices and was well versed on the menu which was a pleasure (even though he was not dressed for the part). We had a good sampling of the drink menu and most items on the somewhat limited dinner menu( see pic). Btw, the drinks were quite unique and refreshing. Very cool drinks like the Oyster Bay Brewery summer peach, the Bacon Bourbon Mash, and the New Bond, all excellent. Unfortunately thats where it ended until the dessert drinks. Let me explain: 1st apps; lamb chops special were the thinnest I've ever had, not appetizing(bad). The crispy wontons recommended by Frank were nothing special much better at your local Chinese restaurant. Now the ribs were good, the grilled octopus was very good, and the chickpea fries were excellent! The Warm lobster knuckle sandwich was not all cracked up to, the Grilled shrimp was hardly grilled( too bad), the Grilled NY strip presented well(see pic) however very tough(ugly), advise to stay away, but the side of Roasted brussel sprouts were probably the best I've had in a long time! And I must say the burger special was great! And like I said the after dinner coffees , for example Expresso with side of sambuca and their Irish Coffee both much welcomed and just fine. So there you are...Please try this place out for yourself, keep it simple to some of the apps we were happy with and one of their burgers and you'll be happy. Don't forget to get a drink. Lmk how it goes.

The TLC event at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater, featuring TLC, Shaggy, En Vogue, and Sean Kingston, was an absolute blast. The concert showcased incredible talent, with each artist delivering exceptional performances. The venue's stunning location and top-notch amenities added to the overall magic of the night. If you missed it, you truly missed out on an unforgettable evening of music and entertainment. An Amazing Venue for Unforgettable Events
For more see liwinedad.blogspot.com A good three stars with interesting entrees but still needs a bit of refinement to move into the 5-star range. Snaps American Bistro has expanded but remains located on Wantagh Avenue just south of Sunrise Highway in a small group of stores on the west side. Parking spots are limited and small, both in the front and back. The greeting was prompt, and we were quickly seated at a small table for two. The room was packed, vivacious with several large tables and a bit noisy. Our cocktails arrived quickly, with the Cosmopolitan being fine and the Woodford reserve a bit over iced. As this was the beginning of restaurant week, we ordered from the restaurant week menu, and to my disappointment, they did not have the Lobster bisque. I ordered the soup of the day Chicken tortilla, which arrived table-side beautifully plated, full of flavor, and just enough spice to remind me of the soup's traditional heritage. Jo's Caesar salad promptly and was a generous portion but was lacking overall. The croutons were small non-descript commercial toasted bread cubes, the romaine crisp, the dressing a bit bland, and the shaved cheese mild and undistinguished. After clearing the starter plates, sometime later were asked if we wanted anything else before closing out the check, and we asked for our entrées. Our water glasses ran dry, nor were we ask if we wanted additional drinks. The mains took an exceedingly long time to arrive but well worth the wait.
Jo had the Skirt Steak, which was grilled just to the right temperature, and plated with BBQ dusted Fingerling Potatoes, Corn Salsa, and Grilled Asparagus. The sides, as well as the steak, were outstanding. I had the Salmon, lightly dusted with seasoning and grilled to perfection. The Salmon sat atop a bed of Arugula, Quinoa, Feta, Tomato, Chickpeas, Olives, and just the right amount of Green Goddess Dressing. In short, a delicious and well-balanced entree. We took home the included deserts of cheesecake (missing the Blueberry Compote) and the Chocolate Cake; both were proforma desserts. One note on the checkout process, Snaps adds on a 4% for the use of all charge or debit cards. We firmly believe that restaurants should charge a fair price for their service, but the bill at the end of the night should not read like my cell phone bill with lots of added charges at the end of the bill. A 4% surcharge for charge cards is a bit high and only reduces the tip by 4%.
Overall, if as much effort and quality went into the starters, service, and desserts as were into the mains, this could easily be a great place. As we exit COVID and reopen, we will revisit Snaps in a few months giving time for them to polish up their service and starters.
