Riley Fibbers

The almost best French onion soup. Great smoked turkey sandwich. French fries well done were great. Portions huge. Building is a bit old and rustic. May be good for some folks. Had a "bar" smell first thing and they say they open at 10, no servers for an hour until 11. Shouldn't say open at 10. Oh well no regrets it was a good choice.

I came in on Valentine’s Day with no expectations …. just hoping for a quick, easy little treat. The bar was empty, so I thought that would mean good service. We were greeted by a gentleman who took our order. I ordered the appetizer of tenders and fries and asked, if possible, to have the tenders tossed in wing sauce and to upcharge the fries to cheese fries with bacon. I was under the impression that this wasn’t an issue, and I appreciated that my meal initially came out as requested. Unfortunately, the bacon on top of the fries was extremely disappointing. It was burnt, crumb-like pieces, very oily, and had a gritty texture. It honestly smelled off. It seemed like leftover scraps rather than freshly prepared bacon. I would have completely understood if they had simply said they were out of bacon … that would have been far preferable to serving something that didn’t feel edible.I sent the whole meal back and asked for the rest of our meal to be wrapped up to go. My husband’s chili was only lukewarm, but he chose not to say anything further given how disappointing the experience had already been. What added to the frustration was how the situation was handled. The bartender who originally greeted us and dropped off the food never came back to check on the issue. Instead, he sent the female bartender he was working with to finish assisting us. I would understand if his shift wand done but w He was just in the back and left her take car of us. She was sweet, understanding, and apologetic, and I appreciated her professionalism. I don’t normally write negative reviews because I understand that mistakes happen. However, the quality of the food. Particularly the bacon and the lack of follow-up from the original bartender really turned what was supposed to be a simple Valentine’s treat into a disappointing experience. It upset me enough to feel the need to share this feedback. I’ve also added a picture of the napkin I originally started to put the burnt bacon. Once I realized that it was gritty and so greasy I sent it back.

Place is an absolute gem. Very good food. Even great service. Will be coming back soon.

Would not stop here based on the building’s exterior but ventured in based on reviews. So glad we did because food and service were excellent. We had the steak sandwich, Reuben and Philly Cheesesteak. Atmosphere is casual. Our server Joanne was wonderful. Will be back.

Pretty sure I just had one of the top 3 Reuben sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life, not even joking. It’s a Friday night and no shortage of customers here but still the service was fantastic, beer selection was great, my sandwich in particular was A++, and no one in my party had a bad word to say about theirs either. Definitely coming back for more!

Good food, the pastrami was so very good. It has plenty of tables and a nice sized bar. I was treated very well. They had 10 taps and quality booze. Don't worry about adjusting what you see on the menu.I want to try it again to get a real feel for it.

Dropped by and ordered Wings xtra crispy and a Reuben sandwich! The wings were unbelievable! ( Best I had in a long while) Reuben was incredible too ! Service was spot on! Great Lunch Indeed! Will definitely be coming back soon! Thank You!

The food and service were excellent! I ordered the Riley burger, which was so good. The fries were very crispy, had the perfect amount of salt, and were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place!

Love this place!!! Just found it this week! Awesome local pub that I'm a huge fan of! Bartenders and waitresses are perfect! Fun environment and excellent sports watching spot! Food was decent. I'm a traveling salesman from CT. I'll be back definitely!

Do you have kids? Can they never agree on liking the same meal? Do you find it more and more difficult to go out to eat without breaking the bank? Family of 5 here. Three kids who are all picky eater. Riley Fibber delivers on everything! Nicest wait staff I've ever encountered. They all go above and beyond to make my children feel welcomed, valued, and part of the dining experience. The kids meal options are large portions so my 11 year old is satisfied. It comes with ice cream! All kids leave happy! Great beer selections. Specials that change every week. My husband claims they have the best French onion soup. Spinach and artichoke dip is amazing. I've never had a bad meal there. It's a sports bar too so whatever game you want to watch, they will put on for you (thank you for putting on the semis for World Juniors hockey!) Plenty of TVs to catch all the games without it being intrusive. If I could give it more stars, I would. We go here every week after the kids play hockey. No other restaurant a family of 5 can go out for under $100! Everything about RF is amazing!

The food and service were both excellent. I did find the price of appetizers a bit pricey as they were the same as the price of a meal or higher. Parking is very tight spots and limited so plan to arrive early on NFL game days.

Killian and Kevin were wonderful and her service was top notch! They have quick draw and darts! Full bar menus and good vibes and AMi juke box!

Stopped by for a warm soup on a stormy fay and so glad we did. The French onion soup is delicious and so are the sliders, all served with a smile by JoanneZ we will be back!

Our family had the nachos...... amazing! I had the street corn burger special. It was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. Washed it all down with some ice cold Mich ultras! Love this place! Tons of televisions for your favorite sporting events

Burgers are the bomb!! Wings are perfectly cooked 100% of the time! Friendly atmosphere, cold beer, and a jukebox!!

Joanne was amazing! Great food & amazing place for a family to eat. Tell them that Richie sent you

I was so impressed with my meal at Riley's the other night. I ordered the fuhgedabout it sandwich which has pepperoni, chicken cutlets, mozzarella cheese and was covered in vodka sauce in between two pieces of garlic bread. It was delicious. Cutlets were breaded perfectly and everything on the sandwich paired amazingly well. We ordered nachos to start, they were also delicious but I wouldn't get them again, nachos are never my go to but for some reason I was craving them. Service was great and our waitress was super sweet and attentive! I was really shocked by the quality of food and service here and will 1000% be back.

Loved everything about Riley Fibbers !!!! We were greeted with big hellos and smiles ! Food was absolutely delicious...fresh,hot and tasty !! We had the special "grilled garlic chicken melt " and the steak sandwich and both were delicious. Cool vibe to the place !

This place is a gem. The food/ service is top notch. Riley's is great high quality neighborhood bar. Families go in during the afternoon/early evening to enjoy a good meal/time. Ignore the Review by Sheri O. I was there. She made a scene after trying to not pay for her drink. Started calling the staff trash , and losers with no job, and proceeded to fight with the patrons "F U...FU". (while families/children were there) Called the whole bar "Democrats?" Overall not the classiest behavior. Shook up the staff who acted professionally the entire time while trying to speak to this person who was acting like a lunatic. Even more reason to respect this place.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Met the owner if not for him I don't think the locals would have let us get a table quickly. It was locals football.

We were visiting the area for a wedding & found this place for dinner. We chose it because not only did the main menu look promising but they had a good variety on their kids menu. Our server, Joann, made our experience 10/10. She was lovely to our daughter & to us. She was decked out in festive attire to go along with the tasteful holiday decorations. The food was ready in a timely manner & everything was delicious. My husband & I both ordered burgers. Every time we both order burgers, I always find mine undercooked...but that was NOT the case here. Both of our burgers were cooked exactly how we asked & they were very delicious. They were seasoned nicely and it was obvious they were not just frozen patties slapped on a bun. All of the fixing a were fresh and the fries were also very good. My husband had the 'special' fries with queso & bacon and he thought they were awesome. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place. It's too bad we are not local because we would certainly frequent this place regularly. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, the the service was amazing thanks to Joann.

We were part of a 14 group party and driving to the place for the first time, I questioned if the place could even fit 14 people. I am exaggerating but it's a small place. Funny enough, another large group was also in the dinning room so this is a great place to have a reasonably priced experience for a large party. The service was fantastic and was very attentive. I would have grabbed a drink if they had more of a wide selection but it was more focused on craft and IPA's which isn't my cup of tea. I was also disappointed that the Bavarian pretzel came in 4 logs instead of a pretzel shape. One dip I questioned, where it tasted like vanilla frosting. It was very good by itself, but on a pretzel? Not so much. I had the fuggetaboutit sandwich. Honestly I was underwhelmed with the flavor. But I loved the fries. So good. My kids pizza was similar to frozen pizza. I wouldn't recommend. But luckily it was paired with those great fries. Their burgers came with great praise and their spinach and artichoke dip was well presented and good. Overall it was a good experience, If given the chance, I would opt for a hamburger instead.

Best chicken tacos I've had, very flavorful & the portion is great. along with the sweet potato fries!! nice and crispy fries and that sauce to go with it is sweet & just too good. too bad i don't live in the area. I also had a Long Island iced tea. The bartender was very nice.

Wings were very Good ..Will definitely give it another try. I got take out and wasn't disappointed with the garlic Parm & mild hot wings

Greatest food! Food is well prepared. Atmosphere is noisy but jovial! I would definitely go back

Was there today for the 1st time we really liked the place , our waitress Danielle was excellent, we pigged out on apps & desert , no complaints about the food ,,the atmosphere was friendly & happy we will go back,

Loved my visit to Rileys. Bartender (Jennifer) was very sweet and my wings were tasty. Enjoyed the music and atmosphere. Nice place so give it a try.

Service is great, but the food not so much!! Great neighborhood joint and the people are friendly! Just wish it wasn't deep fried bar food.

My go-to burger spot. Good balance between the beef and the toppings. Service is good, staff is polite and prompt. A lot of TVs, dining room seating is spacious and the bar area is nice too.

Great neighborhood bar!!!! I am here at least once a week, everyone's alway friendly and the food is alway delish!!!

Went last night for the first time and food was great! Burger was fresh.. ingredients... ground beef fries were nice and crispy... the wings!!!! NOW those were perfection! And the chicken quesadilla... I e never like them like that I LOVED this one- 10/10 will be back

I was treated very rudely. I was overcharged and when I confronted staff about the overcharge they told me I should call my bank. They did nothing to rectify the situation. Then they made a scene with some of the other staff members and had patrons get involved and asked if they saw me pay my bill. I have never been so humiliated in my life. I will never go back there. The staff is rude and not attentive.

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but Riley's was an excellent choice today for a quick lunch while in the Islip area. Very good Pub Burgers and also very good choice of sandwiches with ample portions of fries, crisp and tasty. Clean and comfortable bar area, with plenty of high top seating and plenty of TV's for all your sports needs. Nice dining area adjacent to the bar as well. Friendly help, excellent service, Thank you to our server Nicki for a very good lunch.

First time here and it was very good. We wanted a quick bite and to stay local When we got inside it is comfortable and welcoming. We were seated and drink orders taken promptly. The service was excellent. Our waitress was very personable and you could tell she enjoys her job. Food did not disappoint. We had a pretzel app (huge) and some nice sandwiches. They were happy to substitute a wrap instead of ciabatta, no problem. In and out in under An hour, but never rushed. It has a weird sized lot and not many street options so parking was a challenge even midweek. I would add that there is a door in the back near our table where people came in and out and it was a cold night so the occasional chill burst was a little unsettling. But overall it was a good experience and I recommend this place.p

Good food and drinks. Waitress is a firecracker Order the Bloody Mary. You'll be glad you did.

Always great food and service, my go to spot for wings. The atmosphere at Riley Fibbers is always welcoming and friendly.

They did it again! Wonderful local spot with some of the best food in the area! Every time I order I am left beyond satisfied and full! I tried their dip burger today and was blown away by the flavors! Nestled on a buttery brioche bun is a super juicy 8oz burger (med rare ofcourse) topped with thinly sliced prime rib, melted mozzarella, and sauteed onions with a side of au jus...I took it a step further and added delicious sauteed mushrooms and everything was cooked/prepared perfectly and literally melted in my mouth! Hands down one of the best burgers I've had in a very long time! I also ordered the Reuben for my dad for lunch and he thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great pub food at reasonable prices. Very nice owners & fun atmosphere. We have done take out too which was very good. Makes a great burger!

all around great bar food and friendly staff. best bloody mary in suffolk. would recommend for football Sunday

Stopped in between kid baseball games. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent, place was clean, and easy to find parking.

Kind of unassuming on the outside but a wondrous skylit space inside, spacious and clean, with a great bar, a great crowd, and screens with live sports visible from any seat. The food is inventive, fun, and just immensely satisfying, probably the best pub grub I've ever had. In fact to call it "pub grub" is a disservice, its really more of a gastropub crossed with a state fair food stand.

Buffalo wings were $16. No sauce on the wings and charged 50 cents when I asked for wing sauce. Don't nickel and dime your customers when you are already charging Manhattan prices in basically a dive bar. 2 of the wings were scrappy. $8 tap beer should have been colder.. Bartender not especially friendly.

If ever there was a day to sound the six star alarm, today would be that time. If writing Yelp reviews was for employees, Joanne would be worth it. My brother found this location and kept pressuring me to check it out with him. "Riley Fibbers" name is funny, but they are doing serious things. They have limited parking in the front and back of the building. It's a bar that's not hard to miss. It's red and new. I was impressed with the black tone thought the facade as well. Inside was more impressive, with its modern, dark color look. The seating was comfortable and the bar was large. The bartender was beautiful and friendly and than there was our waitress, Joanne. A beautiful soul with more energy than a 10 year old. Joanne was a promoter, crowd pleaser, and comedian, all wrapped into one. Her goal was to win peoples respect first and serve them second. We joked before the meal, after, and while we were leaving. Well I can go one about Joanne for hours, but this review is about "Riley Fibbers." They played great music in the background and had enough TV's for sporting events. Once we got settled in we ordered appetizers. Now let me go on record saying these were the best cheese fries in New York! You heard me! I didn't say local, I said State of New York. They had a blend of cheeses, caramelized onions, and bacon on top of seasoned French Fries. If that doesn't get you going I don't know what will. Those fries disappeared in seconds and Joanne asked if we were satisfied. We all laughed as she prepared to bring out the main course. When she put the plates down she said she'd be back for a report, so it was important to try everything. My burger was excellent! I loved the blue cheese and mountain of bacon. My mashed potatoes were delicious as well. I'm not a fan of gravy, but the one they make there was worth a pour. My brother had the turkey BLT. The turkey was slow cooked and topped with, you guessed it, bacon. The sandwich melted in his mouth, or so my brother described. The sweet potato fries were also legendary. The maple sauce they used also deserved mentioning. I couldn't believe how amazing everything was. Joanne explained that everything is always cooked this way. They have the same cook in the kitchen. I guess it's not to hot, because that gentleman makes magic in there. I have no choice but to return. I need to try other items on the menu. More importantly, I made a promise to Joanne. Like I said, she promotes and will not rest until I become a regular. "Riley Fibbers" has a funny name, but their serious about great staff and amazing food.

First time here, we stopped by Sat night around 8 to eat and it was packed. Tons of TV's to catch any game or sports event. The Knicks game was on their big screen. Our waitress was a riot! She had a great sense of humor. She added so much to the experience. The food was good, lots of options, big portions and really reasonable. Highly recommend the pretzel app and french onion soup.

Excellent food and great service. The ambiance is comfortable, family friendly. Sports bar area separate from dining area. Great for "pickup" orders too!

Delicious blackened chicken salad. Server was very friendly. Portion size is very generous. Burgers look good. Definitely coming back.

This place is great. Looks a little weird being the whole building is a bright red but the food is great along with having a large list of beers on tap. I got a French onion soup to start which was one of the best French onion soups I've had in a long time. I also got the fuhgedabout it sandwich with the sweet potato fries and boy was I impressed. I also tried the skirt steak sandwich which was also to die for. I can confidently say that after eating both of those sandwiches that all of the food here is going to be great.

Great beers selection and the food was delicious and big portions.. YUM!

Riley fibbers is by far the best option in town, then again the outfield pub and other local spots leave a lot to be desired. Very clean inside. Looks like it's fairly newly renovated or remodeled inside. Nice wide array of TVs all over with a variety of sports games on. Friendly staff. Good service. $2.25 bud light on tap at all times. The food is the real special part of this place though. It's great bar food. Highly recommend the spicy beef sandwich. Also the cheese/bacon fries are bomb too.

After hearing so many friends talk about the amazing food and superb service we finally stopped in tonight for dinner with the kids to check it out for ourselves. We started with the Jumbo Bavarian Pretzel and it was honestly the best pretzel I have ever had. The kids loved the cinnamon frosting that it comes with for dipping (you may need more than 1) and I loved the queso. The food was not disappointing. I had The Dip burger, and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked to order. A french dip and burger in one.....lets just say I barely touched the fries. Hubby had the Pastrami Bomber and raved about it. Even the kids meals were generous portions and come with a dish of ice cream to keep them smiling at the end. The atmosphere was great and the service was phenomenal. Definitely going back!!!

Picked up some wings and Buffalo chicken caesar salad last night that were awesome! Wings are meaty, cooked perfect and delicious! Slices chicken Buffalo cutlet a top salad was great. Highly recommend! Ordered, ready in 20 min amid the Yankee game! Oh onion rings great too

First time here and i loved it! 1000% Recommend the steak sandwich and their spinach and artichoke dip!!!

Came in for food off late menu. Was told I could only have chicken tenders and fries I'm not trying to feed my 9yr old come on for a new place not good start. Loud obnoxious locals drunk off there $&@ yelling to boot

So disappointed!! Heard nothing but good reviews about the food.. so I decided to give it a try.. stopped in for a to go order.. the place is nice and new inside very clean and neat there is plenty of room.. the menu choices are plentiful. I ordered the wings to go, $13.00 plus tax and tip $16.00 for about 9 wings that were inedible, I couldn't tell if the were old or over fried. They skin was so hard it was as if chewing on tree bark, when I was able to get to the meat inside it was so dry and pasty that it would turn to l chalk like consistency in my mouth... worst wings I have ever eating and I have eaten a lot of wings....... so sad Because I really wanted to live this place ...

Placed a order for takeout yesterday 5/20/2021 and it was AMAZING!! Ordered Buffalo wings, benders fries, the giant pretzel, and the Riley Mac quesadillas. Honestly the best of each I've had. Usually I'll find something a place could improve on but not a single thing to Riley Fibbers. Stumbled upon it while looking at google maps.. must of been a sign to find this establishment. To the staff taking our order over the phone and taking payment/giving food in person... to the peeps in the kitchen. And of course the managers and owners. Thank you very much! And I cannot wait to be back and enjoy the food once more.

Riley Fibbers has a nice ambience. The menu has great combinations of apps, salads, sandwiches and burgers. I recommend The Fibbernachi! Great addition to East Islip.

Heard great things about the food. Ordered wings and fries and they were disappointed. It was a Friday night prime time so they should be at their best. The texture was great very crispy but lacking flavor.
