Modern Snack Bar - Aquebogue (NY)

5 /5 Matthew Reischer: Had the half duck with sides — perfectly juicy and crispy. Also tried a slice of cake, which was delicious. Otto stopped by our table, and he couldn’t have been kinder — such a sweet man with a twinkle in his eye, a bit like Colonel Sanders. A truly lovely, honey-warm experience. I’ll definitely be back! PS - Sandra our waitress was so friendly, warm and helpful!!!! She’s a keeper!! ❤️

5 /5 Viri Pettersen: 75 years young, always a winner! Suggest trying the fresh fried flounder sandwich - it’s a guaranteed great meal! Desserts galore, and so much more. Service always with a smile.

1 /5 Ashley Perez: The only "Modern" in this establishment is the name. I was really disappointed with my experience here. The service was frustrating,I had to ask for drink refills three separate times before anyone followed through. The restaurant itself feels extremely outdated; it looks like it hasn’t been upgraded since the 1970s. There’s also a strong musty, old-basement smell that makes the whole environment uncomfortable. The food was bland and definitely didn’t match the prices they’re charging. For the quality, atmosphere, and service, it’s simply overpriced. I also noticed that most of the patrons seemed to be in their 70s, which adds to the overall “stuck in time” feeling the place gives off. $61 for one cheese burger,one order of wings and a BLT before tip . Unfortunately, I won’t be visiting again and can’t recommend it based on my experience.

5 /5 Louis C Milano II: I had dinner here at the modern snack bar about 1 week before this years thanksgiving and I was expecting great American style home cooking and thats exactly what I got on that night! I cant recommend this place highly enough to anyone thats from out of town thats looking for great home cooking on the north fork of long island new york. Im not using any hyperbole here, this place is the real deal! Please dont forget to get yourself a few quarts of turnips to take home, theyre the best on the east end of long island! Chefs kiss!

5 /5 Jacqueline Faught: Absolutely loved this gem of a spot. From the moment you walk in, it’s like taking a step back in time. The food was delicious. We had the lobster bisque, the e soft shell crab sandwich, the turkey dinner and of course dessert. The pies are unbelievable. Better than Briarmere or whatever.
