One of the very few places on Long Island that live up to the "good Italian food" hype. From start to finish the food was stellar and the service was surprisingly solid considering how busy it was. Appetizers were great, especially the fried calamari (which was fresh and cooked perfectly). The main course was served quickly after that and there wasn't a bad dish on the table. I personally had the spicy chicken Parm and was impressed at how well the chicken was prepared and the rigatoni cooked (both had just the right level of spice). Drink wise, we ordered an espresso martini (which was of course phenomenal). We were worried when we walked in to a packed restaurant, that the service might suffer but thankfully we were seated immediately and a waiter came right over. Throughout the meal they were quick on drink refills and to clear empty plates. Our one (very minor) issue was with the parking, which was less of an actual issue and more just that we didn't know where we could and couldn't park (maybe some signs would help but the staff was quick to explain parking when we asked so it worked out fine). Overall a great meal and well worth the money in my opinion. I would say "it's just like Grandma makes" but to be perfectly honest....it was better 😅. Can't wait to come back.

Absolutely love this place. Very authentic mom and pops Italian restaurant vibe. Food was OUTstanding (coming from an Italian). This place is heavily crowded which was not a bad thing. Everyone (especially the customers) were all so friendly. A majority of the customers seemed like regulars which makes it feel even cozier. You would think the star of the show was the Pork Chop Martini (a medium to thin pounded Parmesan crusted pork chop with a white wine garlic lemon sauce topped with hot cherry peppers) HOWEVER it was MATT!!!! Our server was absolutely authentic, raw and EFFICIENT. Honestly the whole staff was on their A Game. My bestfriend dropped her napkin and one of the staff members replaced it before she could even think to pick it up. The food was served in a timely fashion which was impressive being that it was PACKED. I will absolutely return strictly off of the service provided!!! I can not recommend this place enough !!!! Thank you Matt and Team!!!! ❤️

Very popular, very busy, cash only. No reservations so going a little earlier to beat crowds helps. Parking can be tight, there’s a shopping center right across the street that is almost always easier than the lot. Regular menu items are all very good, but the daily rotation of specials is always worth looking at as some of their best stuff rotates on the specials. Cocktails from the bar are on point, or you can pick a bottle from the wide selection of Orin Swift wines they carry. Enjoy!

Was there twice in a three day stay with my wife and two great friends, who are regulars there. We had the blackened steak, pork chop martini with calamari and shrimp appetizers. Everything was amazing!!! Matt made our two visits most enjoyable!!! We look forward to eating here again when we visit again.

Finally Finally got to try Robkes in Northport. I’ve been wanting to try them for a very long time and I recently had a day off so went there for the lunch special.
The place was packed out on a random Monday afternoon at 1230pm. There was a really great vibe and you could feel the positive energy in there.
We started with the fried calamari. Now, I don’t want to be over-dramatic but I’ve thought about this and I really think they just may have the best fried calamari I’ve ever had. It was so light and tender and crispy. It was really fantastic.
Then we shared their famous Mac & cheese. Normally I would never order Mac & cheese at a restaurant but all the reviews on Long Island Food & Drink and here on Google made me do it. And WOW. This chef. What a rebel. You should have seen what he did with the pasta. Real gutsy move LOL! He had at least 5 different shapes of pasta on that Mac & Cheese. And it was all a perfect Al dente (I cannot stand soft pasta). It was delicious. And the sirloin steak was seasoned so well with the best flavor. I cannot wait to go back and try so many more of their dishes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went here last night. Absolutely fantastic! Yes it’s loud but the food and service was outstanding! We will definitely be back. Got there early and got a table. We were very lucky. People waited outside for a table for quite some time. We had The Italian salad to start then lasagna, stuffed artichoke and the red snapper.

Standard Long Island Deli with fresh goods and a wide variety of offerings. A nice pickle included with every sandwich. The staff is generous, kind and pays attention to your order. I have had lunch there two or three times a week for well over a year and the have never messed up my order

Very friendly place with good food and good service. My favorite is always the desert and they did not disappoint.

I mean, this meal will kill me if I have it more than once a month, but it's got to be the best Mac and Cheese I've ever had, period. The sliced steak was genuinely medium rare, extremely succulent and very tender. Held quite well late at night as it was too big to finish over a single meal.

Went to an engagement session at Sunken Meadow State Park but forgot my wallet and only had a random $60 in my pocket. Jumped on @googlemaps for somewhere with good food, affordable and opened late on a Sunday and found Robkes! This is a quaint old school Italian restaurant with a laid back homely feel. Delicious authentic tasting food, with generous portions at an affordable price! I had the Bronx Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana which was really a good pick! The staff was friendly and checked in on me regularly to see if all was good. I’d definitely come back here again if I’m out in Northport Long Island and definitely recommend it!
