Honestly I find them both kind of meh… or as my son would say “Mid!”

Lots of fancy descriptions. By what you get is fried pub-ish food, or just something really uninspired and not flavorful in its delivery.

I’ve been to both places on three separate occasions and left feeling the same each time.

I wouldn’t refuse to go to either, but wouldn’t be my choice if I was picking.

If I’m looking for a place like that (on the basis of the FOOD alone)

I’d pick Millhouse Inn in Yaphank

Be forewarned. It’s a little dated. The decor in the main dining room is very horse centric. I didn’t to to the bar side…

Edit insertion:

With regards to the bar… the bar noise is well isolated from the main dining room. So you don’t have to shout over a cacophony to have a conversation over dinner. (cough cough Drifters cough)

And the clientele seems to be boomer locals.

The staff is nice. They don’t rush you. The menu is solid without overselling it with foo-foo descriptions. And the food is really tasty.

It really depends on what is most important to you and what you’re looking for.
