    It's a very nice charming restaurant & alehouse in Farmingdale near the railroad. I attended a private party in the back. A very attractive space with a large bar... the staff was very attentive and the drinks were very good. the food was just so so otherwise all was terrific

    The front door staff member was very rude and discriminating towards my service dog. She was at my heal and was acting appropriately. The man would only consider outside dining. Even though I wanted to sit outside, I have the right to sit indoors with her as well. The only reason for something to be said would be if she acted out of turn. While at the restaurant, my girl was calm, at my feet, did not react to the people around, the train horn, nothing. As such, employees should receive additional training in understanding the ADA.

    Came in and was immediately greeted by the rude bouncer/security guy. Very unfriendly welcome. Got seated right away and server was fast and friendly. Food was great but would like a broader entree menu. I loved the good vibes shot information in the bathroom.

    We were at a birthday party in the upstairs area. It was so small, and the tables pushed together so close you couldn't get in or out. Tje food was ok, but the staff were less than happy to be there. We never got a smile, a nice word, or any pleasantries. They looked miserable. I had to clean off the table with the kids' food, and when they finally saw me, they came over and took them out of my hands. Gee thanks. The food was ok. We had to take a liquor package, and the wine was awful. Even the beer selection was minimal. If allowed to just run a bar tab, they would have gotten as much money, and we would have been happier. Also, the loft is not handicap accessible and my elderly aunt could barely get up the stairs.

    A friend and I have been going here every other week or so for almost 2 months after our volunteering shift. Jamal is our waiter and he remembers us and puts us at the same table and remembers the drinks and even what we like to eat and everybody is super nice and I love all the lights! Not overpriced- three dollar Tacos on Tuesday- food is good and so are the drinks! Great dirty martini!

    This is a GREAT place to watch any sporting event. Definitely the home of Islander fans. They're very accommodating on putting on games for you, you just need to speak up and ask. Of course the wings are the star of the show here. But their other dishes like Burgers (Beef or Turkey). I've had their Skirt steak which is just as good as a Steak house. And though prices have jumped Post-Covid, this place has reasonable prices.

    Awesome place to watch the games. The food is great especially the wings and the burgers and everyone working at Croxley is friendly. Matt at the bar is amazing! Only feedback for ownership is to improve the mens bathroom. That needs a full renovation. Keep up the great work Guys!

    It was just great. They were so accommodating as we showed up early from the services for our loved one. It was raining(of course) and they let us in anyway and allowed us time gather in a room that was going to be used for another more happy gathering before ours. Just nice people and we were so grateful for their kindness.

    First time eating here and the food was HORRIBLE! Arrived around 12:45 pm and the place was empty. My wife had a burger and it was dry and had no taste. The two Cokes we had tasted like seltzer, waiter replaced and took off the bill but was still the same. I had probably the worst wings I’ve ever had. The meat was kind of tough. It wasn’t red inside so it was cooked but maybe old or overcooked? I ended up getting sick to my stomach. Looks like a nice place but will never try again. Don’t want food poisoning again.

    Great wings and apps. Cold beer. Seats a bit to cramped and could be spaced out a tad. But had a great evening. Would Def go back.

  • 5/5 Marco 6 months ago on Google
    The burger I had was one of the best burgers in my life. The food was hot, including fries. I am definitely coming back and highly recommend. Service was also excellent.

  • 5/5 Bernadette B. 6 months ago on Google
    Friends who live locally to this restaurant took us here for lunch on, Saturday 10-21-2023,. I have never had a better Veggie Burger!!!!!!! Outstanding, compliments to the kitchen. All of our meals, drinks, service, and costs rate 5 stars!

  • 5/5 Chris L. 5 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite places. Croxleys never disappoints. Best wings you can find and burgers are incredible. Draft beer choices are amazing. Always look forward to visiting 🍻

  • 5/5 William D. 5 months ago on Google
    Food is always good, unfortunately the menu keeps shrinking. Chicken Pot Pie is off the menu now which was my go-to. Service was great, beers were good

  • 4/5 Thomas B. M. 7 months ago on Google
    Went here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and food came out literally in 05 minutes! I ordered the boneless buffalo wings. The sauce was good,they were steaming hot. However the chicken tasted like old grease. And ik about deep frying foods and oils/shortenings to use and when its time to change the oil! The croxleys pumpkin ale was really good!🎃

  • 5/5 Raymond M. 7 months ago on Google
    Traditional food and selection of beers are excellent. Any time if there are issues, the manager steps in, makes corrections without any hassles. Then follows up to see if you are satisfied . What more can you ask? That to me is the earmark of an A-one establishment.

  • 4/5 Renee B. 2 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Chicken wings and sweet potato fries were yummy. I will be back to try other things on menu

  • 2/5 Ryan S. 8 months ago on Google
    Only giving this place a 2 because their wings are very good. I've gone to Croxleys more times than I can remember. I love that they show the UFC fights and don't rush you out. They have a great beer selection but they don't clean their tap lines well and they often serve skunked beer. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to struggle through a beer or send a beer back at this place because of it. If you send it back, they look at you like you have 2 heads. On top of that, they have started nickel and diming you for everything. $1.50 for a side of ranch. Also they used to have free refills on fountain drinks, this is also a thing of the past. I got served a diet coke that tasted like rum and coke. It was obvious they reused the glass for someone else and just dumped it out without cleaning it. This place has become trash 🗑️

    Staff is super friendly and accommodating, had a group of like 17 ppl and everything came out timely, hot and correct. Food is a little basic though and feels like a jazzed up diner. Music is wayyyyyyyyyyy too loud and you can't hear people next to you unless you're uncomfortably close or yelling. A few people had kids there and it is definitely not the place to bring kids, unless you just want to drown out their voices so you can neglect them while you eat(seriously, don't bring your kids here ppl).

  • 4/5 Jason E. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice spacious bar atmosphere. The draw here is the amount of taps. There is a plethora of options from a beer perspective and should sate whatever beer style you're looking to tackle that day. Service is friendly and quick. Food wise it is your normal pub fare with extra things thrown in like shepherd's pie. I honestly give this place a 4.5. They tout their wings, which are admittedly cheap, but with the other wing options in the area they don't really compare. Everything else food wise is reasonable. You can even hit them up for flat feet brunch that included bottomless mimosas and bloody Marys. Good for families, to catch a game, or to just hang with buddies.

  • 2/5 Eric H. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was typical sports bar food. Too sweet or too salty but no real flavor. Drinks were also very boring but plenty expensive. Employees were very nice but we felt like they were rushing us constantly. Also…it’s a sports bar so it’s ridiculously loud. Men’s bathroom…utterly disgusting. I wish there was a porta potty near by to use instead.

  • 5/5 Peter W. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been going to Croxleys for years. The food is always on point, and they have a great rotating beer selection. Service is usually pretty good, but sometimes it’s very loud, which means pointing to the beer menu to make sure you get the right beer. Overall a good experience.

  • 4/5 john c. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bear menu, tons of good choices on tap! I really dont like wings, they are usually passé, but last week I was here with a large group and we ordered 5 orders with sauces on the side. WOW, for the first time in years, I actually enjoyed wings. Crispy, not greasy and cooked perfectly. The sauces we ordered were a mix of flavors and they ranged from OK, to delicious to pretty damn hot. For dinner I ordered a burger, and it was good too. Likely a frozen patty, but not overcooked and done nicely! Minus one star because the restaurant was understaffed for a quiet Wednesday and service was pretty slow.

  • 2/5 Spencer O. 2 years ago on Google
    Holy cow, don't list an item on your menu if you have NO idea how to make it. The old fashioned was probably the worse I've had. Whiskey, water and a random orange slice is a terrible excuse. So I asked for a jack and coke, I could read the entire menu through this drink. Not only was the bartender giving an attitude about it, the waitress was reflecting it. I give them a two star because the bar looked clean and up kept. Wings were a tad dry here among 7 of my coworkers. We won't be returning.

  • 4/5 Christopher A. 1 year ago on Google
    Been awhile since I've been here. Was a quieter night stopped in for a drink and wings. Fig old fashioned was just ok. But the traditional habanero mango wings were amazing! Food came out quick and hot. Will come back just try a diff drink

  • 1/5 Keelin C. 1 year ago on Google
    Was good 2 years ago but since has doubled in price. The food isn't good anymore. The bartenders have absolutely no idea how to make most drinks. My friends asked for gin gimlets and they put soda or seltzer in it. And when we got the receipts for the bar, my friends Jameson and cokes were 16$ and they weren't doubles. He was also charged for a double when he got a single. It's gone downhill so bad. They also added popcorn shrimp to their menu a while back and my friend who is allergic to shellfish started having an allergic reaction because they fried the cheese curds and the popcorn shrimp in the same oil.

  • 3/5 Peter G. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was top notch, perfectly cooked burger. However, I was not happy that a $9 regular IPA came in a tiny bourbon snifter. I know that double and imperial IPAs come in smaller glasses but I don't order those. My wife's Montauk Wave Chaser came in a small glass too. Your food was great but I wouldn't come back until you use pint glasses again.

  • 5/5 David D. 1 year ago on Google
    A tremendous place to watch sports. Great amount of quality beer selections. Clean comfortable and Matt the bartender is sincere genuinely caring and has a great attitude.we will be back

  • 5/5 Jason H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice outdoor seating. Great beer selection. Wide variety on menu. My burger was very good.

  • 5/5 Alex 1 year ago on Google
    Went here after a party/ get together at 8 pm on a Saturday and 2x the amount of people showed up at the table than expected which put the staff in an obvious bind. Honestly, if they had said that they couldn't accommodate the group and that we had to leave or hang at the bar, it would've been completely justified. But staff accommodated us and combined tables. I didn't get the guys name that helped us but everyone that worked there was tremendous. Their food was also great. Tacos were fresh and plentiful. All around great vibe as well.

  • 1/5 George A. 1 year ago on Google
    We come here because the food is excellent and the staff is great. We called on the phone to check and see if they had half price appetizers and the girl on the phone said yes…We sat down and ordered only apps, wings and dessert. When we got the check our jaws hit the floor, it was only half off the wings!!! Manager Elaina came by and said we sorry it’s only wings that are half off. They didn’t do anything for us even though we were given the incorrect information not once but twice. Shout out though to our excellent and sweet waitress, Natalie.

  • 5/5 Donna D. 1 year ago on Google
    Had dinner with family, the food was excellent & had a great Waitress!

  • 4/5 Paul V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great sports pub atmosphere. Really nice beer selection. Delicious pretzel and wonderful staff. My bartender Crystal was outstanding! I'll be back for sure!

  • 2/5 Yessenia P. 1 year ago on Google
    I would give 5 stars on the vibe and the atmosphere and the wait staff, so if you're going just for that I'd recommend, but if you're going for food, I'd skip out, everything we had was awful, wings, nachos, sandwiches, absolutely terrible, skip out on the food

  • 5/5 Beverly D. 9 months ago on Google
    We really enjoyed the food here. We went for brunch and nice menu selection. Our waitress was wonderful. Little dark inside but they also have outside seating. Definitely a place we eat at often!! Enjoy

  • 5/5 Steve L. 10 months ago on Google
    Best bar in Farmingdale or NYC! Staff is top notch! The booze selection is amazing! I live in GA and will make the trip back one day.

  • 5/5 Blake S. 1 year ago on Google
    This might be without a doubt my favorite restaurant ever. Wings are truly the reasons why I come here. They have the best wings ever. The barbecue wings on the bone are my favorite. Buffalo is good too but nearly as good. Great service here and friendly employees. Wonderful Place

  • 1/5 yvette b. 10 months ago on Google
    Complete mess. We has made a reservation for 8- which the messed up on. The menu looked delicious and was extensive. But, it is very misleading and very dissapointing. The "Irish nachos" are squeeze cheese fries. Service was awful. Our waitress looked like she hates her job. With all the wonderful restaurants on Long Island, I'd give this one a hard pass.

  • 1/5 Christopher M. 1 year ago on Google
    So I remember coming to this place quite a few years ago on a couple of occasions and enjoyed the food here. Wow tonight was a MAJOR disappointment. We ordered takeout this evening and all I need to say is the the food was not that great at all... And on top of that, I had specifically asked for a specific type of burger. Did not get it and noticed when I picked up. So they prepared the new burger (at no additional cost), but this was still the wrong burger asked for. On top of that the tater tots were not ordered either the way we had asked them for it and they were quite soggy. I would not recommend coming here for food. If you are young and enjoy sports, good atmosphere for you. Not a family joint.

  • 5/5 Gregory W. 10 months ago on Google
    Always enjoyed this place. Wish they still had 10 cent wings like back in the day, but still good. Massive and varied beer menu as well!
