Deliscious food and amazing drinks! For anyone who loves fried flounder, this is the place to go. I can't wait to go back and have another Mai Tai coctail.....felt like I was on a tropical island! Food: 5/5
I love the Modern Snack Bar. My Dad lives near there and when I visit we go for lunch many times. Everything I have had there is delicious. The owners Otto & John are very nice . All the people that work there go above and beyond. It’s my favorite place for lunch out there. The soups and the desserts are awesome .Food: 5/5
Otto the owner of this fine establishment turned 80 today and we were lucky enough to meet him and experience his restaurant all in one day! Fantastic food, fantastic service and what's even better is that the prices are perfect! We stopped in on our way further out east to grab some lunch and arrived just as they were opening their doors for business today. Temperature was checked and we were then whisked away to our lovely partitioned table. Staff all wore gloves and masks and each table was cleaned thoroughly. Ordered their fried clan strips to start, delicious morsels of clam fried to a golden deliciousness. Their turkey dinner platter comes with a veg choice, potato choice, and both dark and white meat with the best stuffing I've had that is not home made by me. Their stuffed flounder was flaky and buttery and the kids really enjoyed their fried flounder platter from their kids menu too. You must order the lemon meringue pie, like it's a must! Strawberry rhubarb was a close second but the coconut custard pie was just ok. We will most definitely be back very very soon. HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY, OTTO!!!
We visited because a friend of ours remembered eating here when her family came to North fork as when she was a child. The food was excellent. Service was wonderful. They humored her nicely when she was saying that she had been there forty years ago. I bet they hear that a lot!Amy has a soft shell crab sandwich, I had the North fork Ruben, Lisa had the turkey sandwich
This place never ever disappoints. The food is always fresh homemade and delicious. Reminds me of when I was young and my Mom took me to luncheonettes
People say their mojitos are the best- And they were damn good! Their prices for cocktails weren't bad either. The food was good & fresh The atmosphere is inviting
Cute old fashioned diner. Great service and old decor. Staff all very friendly. Ordered clam chowder bowl, lobster bisque bowl, and soft shell crab appetizer to share among 2 people. Portions were pretty small but we also were not very hungry. Food was of average quality. Lobster bisque had a slightly alcoholic taste which turned me off but my husband ate that. Clam Chowder was good but nothing to write home about. Had higher expectations for the soft shell crab. It could’ve been more breaded and flavored. It was borderline cold also so I was scared it wasn’t fully cooked so husband ate that also lol. Overall probably won’t return.
Love the old style atmosphere. Thought the prices were high for what you get. Small chicken croquettes with mashed potatoes and a vegetable was $20. No salads included with meals. A lunch meal like that should be around $12, no more. One soft shell crab meal is $22, I'm used to 2 crabs for that price, but MOST restaurants are charging double since covid messed up our economy. Waitresses were great. Parking lot stunk, I almost lost my appetite.
We have been going to The Modern Snack Bar for almost 50 yrs. Our sons and grandchildren are going too. All we can say is the food and service are great, not fancy just good home cooking.Food: 5/5
My wife likes the turkey meal. In the past it was a Whole Roasted Turkey, now it's Turkey Breast without the bone. The food I ordered was okay but much better years ago. I think they are losing their touch. Probably are thinking of selling the business or just closing down like a lot of businesses since the Covid-19. This place was our favorite for many of years and we traveled 40 min. to get there. Anyone have any idea???
