Bobby Flay Burger Palace
As you know we are continuously searching for the Best of Long Island Food. After eating a juicy and delicious burger creation at Bobby Flays Burger Palace I believe the search of best burger could be called off! Located in Suffolk at 355 Smith Haven Mall, Lake Grove, N.Y. 11755 (631)382-9590. The food at this fast food gourmet establishment will satisfy your burger cravings with a thick mouth watering burger patty that is then enhanced with complementary toppings that, when mesh together bring out unthinkable flavor creations. Sides offered include an appetizing order of french fries (my husbands favorite), sweet potato fries (my favorite and the healthy route), and/or onion rings.
Cactus Pear Margarita
Watching Bobby on TV you can’t help but wonder does the food taste good, is the drink that he just put together really that good? YES, YES, YES. We ordered the Frozen Cactus Pear Margarita and fell in love with the presentation and taste, wouldn’t expect anything less. We also ordered a Vanilla Bean Milkshake, OMG. Real ice-cream, not some processed crap that everyone else offers.
For two people you could easily spend $30.00, a little high for just a burger, but that’s just it is not your ordinary burger joint. Set in a trendy atmosphere with a staff that attends to your needs and maintains good cleanliness my overall experiences have been wonderful. Now for the ratings:
FOOD: 9 out of 10
SERVICE: 8 out of 10
ATMOSPHERE: 8 out of 10
PRICE: 8 out of 10
CLEANLINESS: 8 out of 10

Food Network chef Bobby Flay expands his Burger Palace locations to include restaurants in Paramus, New Jersey, Eaton, New Jersey and a 4th new restaurant at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut scheduled for July of 2009.
Long Islands ow Smith Haven Mall was the Bobby’s starting point for this restaurant. I hope to get out their soon to try it. I have been a big fan of Bobby Flay’s and pray that the food doesn’t disappoint. The menu on their website boasts some mouth watering choices.
Long Island has some pretty tough competition for Best Burgers including Five Guys Burgers and Fries and All American.

There is Pizza, and there is Pizza. Salvatores Coal Oven Pizzeria in Port Washington offers up fresh, I mean fresh Brick oven roasted pizza. This is not that stuff served up by a guy named sal with sauce that comes from a bucket and low moisture skim milk mozzerella.
In a strip of stores on Shore Road in Port Washington there is a Brick Oven filled with Charcoal waiting to serve you lunch. I ordered a Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil individual pizza, that sized in at about 10″. ($6.25) I shared it with another person and it was more filling then I had expected. It was so good though I do wish I had had more. My pizza was made to order. The dough was pounded out fresh, and the 3 ingredients added. Then placed into the Brick oven to be fired and baked. About 5 minutes later my pizza came out, hot and ready with a few crusty burnt spots. Simplicity is one of the most common elements in all good food. One of the essentials of god cooking (and eating) are excellent fresh ingredients. This pizza was packed with fresh flavor. The smell of Basil creeped from the sides of the box as I went to open it and fresh crushed tomatoes sat on top of thin layers of fresh mozzarella cheese. In these few simple ingredients you can taste so much. The brick oven also adds its own signature flavor. You almost feel the smoke of the flaming oven in the crust.
This is high quality food. One of the best pizza I think i have ever had. Its the kind of pizza that reminds you how bad your local pizza place is.This is some of the best pizza this side of Long Island has to offer.
A few things worth mentioning. Credit, Forget it. This is a cash only establishment. There are also no slices sitting around. You get a fresh pie made for you or you suffer with your local low moisture pizza place around the corner. There are tabling for dining and other pasta dishes and the like aswell, but go and taste the pizza first.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries is a hamburger joint located in the Kohl’s Shopping Center in Levittown. After reading an article in the Long Island Press about the “Best Of Long Island” in the Long Island Press it was time to give this place a try. Five Guys Burgers and Fries was voted best burger by the Long Island Press and I must admit I was skeptical of the Long Island Press’s award. That was before I had one of there burgers.
Stopping in for lunch on a monday afternoon at about 4:00 pm things were quite. The menu is straight and to the point. Burgers the way you want them done right. Being my first time there it was taking me a little more time to order to the guy at the counter asked If i needed help and the went ahead and explained the different options. Hamburgers, Cheese Burgers and Bacon Cheese Burgers are served 2 patties high and come with a wide choice of toppings free. For a little less meat and a slight bit less of a hit in the wallet you have the option of getting your hamburger or cheese burger “little”. “Little” just means one meat patti instead of two. I ordered a little cheese burger with A1 Sauce, a regular size cajun fries and a soft drink and a hot dog with cheese. After I paid I was given a number and told it would be about 5-8 minutes for my order to be ready. Each customers food is cooked to order. The nice guy at the counter then told me that I can help my self to Free Peanuts. This sounded a little strange to me at first because i never associated peanuts with hamburgers, and i didn’t expect them to be free. I scooped up a bunch of unshelled unsalted peanuts, filled up my cup with root beer and sat down at one of the many tables.
Sitting down and munching on peanuts i couldn’t help but notice the insane amount of reviews from different places all over the country. Five Guys burgers and Fries is new to the Long Island area but has been wining rave reviews around the country in other locations for years. There is also a striking similarity to Checkers. Im not sure who came first but this is not a Checkers.
About 5 minutes in to my peanut shelling frenzy the guy at the counter called my number and gave me a thumbs up that it was ready. This is what I was waiting for.
Wrapped in foil and in a brown bag. I opened up my burger and took a bite. For once the hype is right. This is a damn good burger. The burger was fresh, juicy and tasted like a burger should. It was over seasoned or salted to hide the taste of fillers or over cooking. It was just good ingredients coked right. The bun was nice and soft and you could taste the mastery and timing of the cook on the grill. I finished mine in about 4 minutes and have been thinking about it ever since. The cajun style fries were also good but not as memorable as the burger. The portion of fries is also pretty hefty. The regular size that at $2.49 was enough for 2 – 3 people easy especially when you have enough free peanuts around to train a circus elephant. The cheese dog I got was cut down the middle and filled with what tasted like american cheese. It was good but a little salty and the taste of the hot dog was strangely similar to the hot dog at Checkers.
Two root beers and who knows how many calories later it was time to move on. The service was great and big part of the experience. When the people who work some place are enthusiastic about their products it shows. I dont know If I would label Five Guys Burgers and Fries the Best Burger On Long Island yet but it is definitely a extremely strong contender and right now they are the burger to beat. The quality,taste and service have made this a regular on the lunch list.

Mama Theresa’s Pizzeria and Restaurant is located on Hempstead Turnpike in Eastmeadow in a strip of stores very close to the Stop and Shop and Walmart shopping center. Mama Theresa’s is pizza done right. The regular slice is on the money and eating the buffalo chicken slice is like having super bowl sunday on a slice. The quality and care gone into finding good ingredients comes across in every bite. I look foward to trying some of the other items on the menu in the future.

Chipolte, has now given you 1 more reason to buy an iphone. The restaurant chain has created an application for the iphone that lets you place an order directly from your iphone. If your in the mood for a burritto thats almost impossible to finish stop in at one of the many Chipolte Grill restaurant in the Long Island area. When i have went there the service has been good and to make ordering from the menu faster they have made an Iphone application. Chipolte is definitely a step up from the usual menu at Taco Bell. Fresher more natural ingredients like chicken, roasted pork, beans and rice also justify the price difference from Taco Bell. If you are ever at an afternoon islander game the Hempstead Tpke location is a much healthier alternative to McDonalds.
