Fab summer outdoor beach dining located at Islip Beach. It has menu items one would never expect at a beach venue. Alcohol by the pitcher avaliable

[I am re-writing this review because my editing skills are sub-par when falling asleep with my finger hitting the delete button. Hence, the entire review was lost, but not all of the pictures.] There is live music here on Thursday nights except on those days when the musicians are not here. The food has greatly improved with more healthy options added to the fried foods and grilled hamburgers. The deck is groomed with palm trees and shade umbrellas at the tables. From where you are seated, looking across the bay, you see Fire Island, and the Robert Moses Causeway bridge. A wind barrier protects you at the west end of the deck when Mother Nature is trying to get your attention at this more enclosed (on three sides) seating area with tables and chairs. The beach is considerably smaller than it once once due to our last hurricane. Swimming inside the ropes while the child lifeguards are on duty is an extreme bore because the water is about waist to shoulder high for adults. Parents, watch your children and do not rely solely on the young lifeguards to protect your kids. The real attraction is sitting in the gazebo feeling bored but trying to look excited...or cool (which is very hard to pull off if you are sixty). Forget your appearance, wife with kids, and sand in your face (momentarily), and go for a feeling of euphoria with the restaurant's tropical intoxications on the rocks. Ah, that's better. Cool. Water beading in little droplets on the outside of the cup. Wife comes by stating she and the kids are ready to go home now. You don't hear her because you have had five tropical thingys within ninety minutes and you think someone stole your ears. "Oh waitwess! Yeth hi. Please keep deese twopical thingys coming. Thank you berry much!" Yeah, create your own paradise on a budget. You don't need to go to the real Key West where the dress code is a skimpy Speedo. Sunset is a pleasant pit stop when cycling long-distance and you divert south to the water's edge. The atmosphere is quite relaxing and well worth the trip.

A really fun place down by the Islip Bay Beach. Your order at a booth and then give you your your drink, and then you have the food delivered to your table. Very, very casual, people wearing everything from jeans and t-shirts to swimsuits. The fish sandwiches are very good, and the salads are okay. The sweet potato fries were excellent,.

Great hidden spot right on the beach. Perfect place to grab a breakfast sandwich or omelet to enjoy by the water. Or stay for lunch and try the baked crab while enjoyed a beer.

I have taken my prom pictures, got married here, take my daughter to the beach here every summer, the new showers and food hut is amazing. Nice and small. Its perfect. Also they have two nice playgrounds for the kids.
