I found this unique and peaceful gem in an area I often pass by and was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance at Garden Social was simply delightful, with a stunning view and music at the perfect level to create a relaxing atmosphere. I arrived during lunch time and was thrilled to find super affordable happy hour lunch specials. I opted for a rose wine and appetizers, and I must say, you absolutely have to try the corn on the cob. The combination of pink sauce and shredded cheese made the flavor spectacular. What truly stood out to me was the attentive service. Several waiters, including the owner, made sure to check in frequently to ensure every customer was being served well. I will undoubtedly be returning to Garden Social and highly recommend it to anyone in or visiting the East Meadow area.!

Great atmosphere for a casual dinner, lunch or drinks. Good selection of food and a full bar. The beer selection is really good. Plenty of seating and no problem parking. The staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend.

Delicious food from American favorites to tacos. About twenty beers on draft, including microbrews. Good spacing between the interior and greenhouse wing. Worn brickface walls and chemically weathered paintjob contribute to a memorably rustic æsthetic. On October 21st, 2021 a joint meeting of the Libertarian Party affiliates of Nassau, Queens and Suffolk counties hosted Larry Sharpe at this location.

Cute spot with a chill vibe tucked away in the shopping area. The service was wonderful, the wereattentive and checked up on us multiple times. Five stars for the service. Reason for the 4 stars is the freshness of the sides, or lack thereere of. Ketchup must have been sitting in the open container for some time because the top layer was hard when I tried to dip a French fry in it. The pickle was shriveled up and inedible, and the slaw was off. The chicken burger they came with was pretty decent, still not the freshest, the chicken was actually more of a patty, I imagined it would be crispy since it was fried chicken. The bottom bun also was a little dry, overall not impressive burger/sandwich. My friend seemed to enjoy her tacos and craft beers so thumbs up on those. The spinach and artichoke dip was pretty good as well. It’s a great spot to grab a beer and some food, I’m not sure how they managed to serve an old pickle and ketchup, that shouldn’t have been overlooked. Hopefully it was just an isolated incident.

Had a blast here with friends. Got in after 30 minutes on a Friday evening so not too bad. Food in general was alright and so were the drinks. This place seems to be the default place for dates around here.

My buddy had a party here for his daughters baptism. The food was pretty good especially the pasta, short ribs and bacon. The fried chicken and french toast were just ok. The bartenders (I don't remember their names) were both great though. The beer choices were really good. I'll definitely be back for a regular meal and maybe to catch a game.

We went for my wife's birthday, and the food was great, as was the service from Kiara! She was very friendly and certainly knows the menu! My Sunday Ragu (picture) was terrific! My wife had the pulled chicken tacos which she loved! Thanks!

My colleague and I booked Garden Social's "outdoor" room for our annual holiday party and it went off without a hitch. Erin was a very attentive and thorough project manager. We also briefly met Dave who was excited to have us and offered his assistance should we need it. Overall, we couldn't have asked for more - there were so many compliments about the staff; on top of my own experience with them while setting up. Jackie, Colleen, Anthony, and Dillon were very accommodating, helpful, and most of all, fun! The food was plentiful and delicious, to-go tins were brought out so we enjoyed it the following day as well! We brought in our own desserts to compliment their coffee/tea, and we also added a DJ/Karaoke booth for the evening. They were open to us decorating the space and helped with that as well - we are already thinking of them for future events/happy hours. Thanks again guys! - The McQ Team

There is a guy with glasses , he doesn’t know how to serve knife and fork , he just dumped everything on the center of the table and he left without any respect,… And other people were good and very respectful…

Great food and atmosphere, don't forget about the great beer selection 🍻

They were extremely busy for a Wednesday night but now I know why. Food was delicious, drinks were great. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back!

Amazing place/vibe/staff/drinks and food. Definitely recommend the wings, flatbread and mango margarita (with casamigos reposado).

Hidden gem in the area. First time patronizing today for hubby's birthday and they didn't disappoint. Aesthetic in this place was well thought out through and through. Staff was engaging and attentive from the hostess to the wait Staff, runners, our waitress Sierra and the owner Bobby and the manager. Our waitress Sierra was great with giving options on what's good and are big sellers, offered samples of beer to try, etc. Had the coco Loco and had to have another. The food was great and did not disappoint. You must try the bacon wrapped onion rings, the French onion soup, the musselsDiablo, the street corn, the grilled cauliflower wings in the Korean BBQ sauce, wings and the flat breads. We could've kept going. Even the apple cobbler with ice cream for hubby's birthday song from the Staff was good. Thank you to Bobby and Staff. Keep up the good work, you will see us again.

Came here on Sunday around 5pm with my two little kids and wife. Very clean and cozy with a great staff. Nice food menu with plenty to choose from as well as their drink menu. I had the wings for appetizer and fish tacos for my main meal. My wife had the bison burger. The food was delicious. Will definitely be back to try other items. This place is worth the stop if you're in the area.

Great food. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. We had a party of five celebrating a birthday. From the host to our server, Kiara, to the bussers; everyone was attentive and had great senses of humor and had us laughing a lot! Then the owner, Bob came over and offered us some complimentary desserts for the birthday girl. I recommend this place 100%.

I was driving from bike trails and the front desk allowed me to bring my bike inside, very friendly service! Selection of beers was, shockingly, very limited and then to major brands and not even local breweries. For such large place, it was a huge let down. I ordered bison burger, it was served slathered in sauce but overall was satisfying

This place deserves more then 5 stars. From the food, down to the staff.. Last night was our first time ordering we used (Doordash) the driver left half of the food at the restaurant. I called the restaurant and they were extremely helpful. One of the employees offered to physically deliver the food himself to my home which is roughly 15 minutes from the restaurant. I couldn’t accept the kind gesture so I went to pick up the remainder of the food myself. By the time I got there they canceled my order on door dash (leaving it at no charge) made us additional food for our family to try , a free beer and $100 gift card for us to all come in and dine in ... Lost for words. That was above and beyond.. We will definitely be back. We couldn’t thank you guys enough for such a wonderful experience. Best of luck you to you guys, you truly deserve it!

Went here for a party. Food was okay. When it was our turn at the buffet , two trays were empty. Has to sit down and come back for the food that was in the empty trays. Servers were pleasant. One gentleman looked like he really enjoyed his job which was great to see. Their separate room was nice.

I made reservations 2 weeks prior to dining out. I asked for indoor seating for 8 and they tried to seat us at a table for 6. After complaining, they moved us to semi outdoor picnic style seating where it rained earlier and saturated the ground. The food was horrible, and when they brought dessert out in a cast iron pan there was no pan holder and one of us burned her hand on the handle. I would never go back there again.

Walked in Mother’s Day without a reservation. Waited for a table and the wife and daughters were insistent on having a table outside. We got our table and listen we wait. Waited about 20 minutes and a server wasn’t assigned to our table. I didn’t cry complain or write a bad google review. I politely walked over to the host and owner like an adult and explained the situation. From that point forward I was treated like complete family. The staff was nothing but sensational to my family and I and couldn’t do enough. When we said enough they catered to us even more. They made my day and more importantly my wife’s day. Thanks Garden Social for doing it right! I can’t say enough good things!

I thought the food was delicious. I thought the ambience was very nice. However, there were menu items that you couldn't order like a Frozen Pina Colada or Frozen Margarita. I was told that was only done in the summer even though the menu didn't say summer only. I simply said that what does a blender not work in the winter time? Plus, we ordered drinks and they took over 15 minutes to come. Service was not good! I would be willing to change the review if an email was supplied from the owner so I can speak about my experience further. I would love to come back to experience both good service and food.

had a great time at this restaurant. The food was very tasty, i had the Turkey burger, Buffalo chicken meatballs, Spinach artichoke dip and Voodoo Ranger Juice Force IPA. The wait staff was very pleasant and attentive without being annoying. I will definitely be returning to try the other menu items in the near future.

Great service, good lineup of beers and delicious food.

Not located where you would expect such a nice place. Maps took me there through multiple parking lots, which was a bit strange, but then you arrive and it's a cool place. Great vibe, acoustic music, food was delicious and service was wonderful. Kung Pao Calamari was incredible as well as the buffalo cauliflower. They have a simply grilled section for the diet conscious, which was tasty! Enjoy!

People that gave this place 4-5 stars are definitely friends and or family. The fish tacos were 💯 frozen and tasted like cardboard. Service sucked as well. Only good part was leaving. Never ever again.

Stopped in for an early lunch when they opened. Food was good and tasted homemade - the prices are a little high but everything we ate really was worth the cost. Nice bar selection with lots of cocktails and beers. Though it was quiet when we arrived, it was much louder when we were leaving. Our waiter was wonderful, and didn't even seem frustrated when I kept picking beers that were out (he ended up bringing me a couple cans to choose from in the style I like). Lots of shade outdoors.

Went for a team dinner, about 12 of us. The waitress and other staff did a fine job of keeping up with us. The orders were correct, brought in a reasonable time. The apps were good, food was tasty, but that wasn't the focus. . I enjoyed the regional beer, which was novel for someone like me visiting from across the country.

Great bar food, prefect for drinks with coworkers. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great outdoor seating area and they even have an event space.

We love going out. Yesterday we visited this superb restaurant which friends recommended to us. We passed a delightful evening there with first-rate dishes and a professional stuff and a talented cuisine. We put this venue in our list and we will surely visit again very soon. Highly recommended.

Very attentive bar tenders. Clean inside and out. It is slightly difficult to find due to being in the back of a strip mall. Nice selection of food and alcohol. Does takeout aswell as indoor dining. Has an outdoor seating section which is nice.

Cute indoor/outdoor beer garden. We rented the outdoor portion for my Bridal Shower and it was great! A laid-back atmosphere, a nice selection of craft beer, and the food was amazing! Especially the steak and brisket. The staff were also very attentive and friendly, they continuously checked around at every table to see if anyone needed anything, even though it was a serve yourself buffet/bar. They also cut and hand served the cake we bought to all tables and even to guests who were standing. Everything was well done and very fun. We also stopped for a drink inside afterwards and the indoor bar was very nice as well.

WOW! What a meal, We’re stuffed ! 5 star experience in this hidden gem! High Quality delicious affordable food and drink in a casual Biergarten atmosphere. Above and Beyond service with a smile (by Isabel) even at the height of dinner rush , with everything served exactly as ordered in a timely manner from the kitchen staff ! KUDOS to ALL!! You can’t ask for anything more , except dessert which was also delightful !! (Thank you Sir) 5 stars is all they will let me give here but worth 100 stars and more . Do yourself a favor and go experience how dining out should be enjoyed by all across this island and beyond ! Finally someone figured it out ! We” ll be back for more for sure !!

I recently hosted my daughters bridal shower here and I'm so glad I did! The owner Dave and our party planners Jackie and Erin ran this party seamlessly. They were so helpful and accomodating. Such a pleasure to work with! This was not a typical brunch buffet. We had a large variety of dishes to choose from and each one was Delicious! Our guests raved about the chicken and waffles in particular (definitely the best waffle I have ever had). The venue itself is spacious and provided a comfortable setting for our celebration. The atmosphere and decor is casual elegant and was the perfect backdrop for our lemon and sunflower themed party. In conclusion, I highly recommend Garden Social for hosting special events. Our bridal shower was a resounding success and I can see myself hosting future events here as well!
