Good food, good environment, there is always a game on with their 30+ tvs. Its a sports bar/restaurant that always serves its purpose of meeting up with friends to get some food, beer and a ball game.

Manager could care less about customers here. Food is going down hill, served lukewarm at best. After coming for years and being disappointed and sending food back for first time manager became argumentative and loud, refusing to take responsibility. as we tried to be discreet he made a scene. I ordered a prime rib medium rare that came greyish brown. he insisted warming the meat changed the color but was medium rare. ok maybe but don't have to yell it at me and I don't have to eat something unappetizing for $27. on top of all this he reeked of cigarette smoke so much so I completely lost my appetite. will never go back - sad after being a regular since it opened.

The Food and service is Excellent If you like seafood and wings you won't be disappointed at all. Many TVs to watch for your convenience. The owner Mike and his staff treat you like family.

It's a great place to try. Hardly any wait after order. The place looks nice and feels comfortable. The staff is well groomed and the food it worth giving a shot. Might not appease all taste buds but they did appease mine.

Great fresh food at fair prices. Seafood and fish are particularly excellent here (not that everything else is not; it's all excellent). Super fresh and sizable portions. I've been to their Farmingdale location too, same quality food, same friendly service.

Frequent this place regularly considering it's down the clock. Service is great. Food is usually tasty and well-proportioned, however most recently, my wife and I experienced bad stomach discomfort the day after we had a late-night dinner. Since this happened only this one time, we will brush it off as an outlier, though it is disappointing since we were leaning on considering them our go-to spot.

For a Sports Bar I'm not too sure why they only promote NFL, MLB and NHL games and ignore NBA playoff action, considering basketball is the second most popular sport in the US.

Also, their burgers are good but not sure why they don't use a brioche or regular hamburger bun instead of a stale kaiser roll, since everything in between the kaiser roll is great tasting.

Very good food my waitress was personable.

Five stars in my book ..

This was my first visit to the Main Event. What a fun place to come with coworkers. Atmosphere was jovial as expected from a sports bar. Wait staff was attentive but not overbearing. We only had starters, yet there was nothing to complain about the food. I look forward to returning.

the grilled wings here are amazing, well worth the drive i have to make. lobster bisque is great as well, as well as their seasonal clam chowder. may be on the pricier side but you do get a lot of food. great service.

Was there for lunch today and bartender was hardly around. She was slow and gave me the wrong order. I didn t realize what I ate until I got the bill. Food was over fried and now I have heart burn. Will never go back.

Awful service at bar. Bartender that greeted us had no personality and was extremely inattentive. The other one jumped in a little, but the experience was already ruined. Just having a dead drink for 25 mins is unacceptable. The food was overcooked and cold. Just awful all around. Won't be back.

The Main Event is a "main stay" in the area. The food and service are always reliable although nothing is particularly special or notable. It's a great place to have a beer and watch a game.

3 stars is pretty generous for this place and it was mostly cause the staff was really nice but the way our table was set up it was at a weird angle and we were on too of another table for no reason even the waitresses could barely get through to give food and the food itself definitely was not that great no where close to giving me that wow factor like I would need to come back the grilled chicken and eggplant wrap was very bland it needed like seasoning it tasted like a wrap I could get at a local deli for 8$ instead this was 16$ to pay 16$ for a wrap I expected it to have better flavor then to taste like it came from a deli and most menu prices were not that cheap either the mashed potatoes were decent and the fries were decent but not something I would go back for the menu is too big and the various food options of cuisine from pasta dishes to greek to mexican to burgers like you cant focus on one thing to be really good and everything just tastes average

I'll begin by saying that had it not been for my nurse friends, I would have never walked in to the spot. Not that the exterior looks bad, it's just understated. However, after walking in you'll find and expansive interior. The fully stocked bar to the right and flat-screen TVs everywhere scream "sports bar" but the tables and booths scream "Diner." You be the judge.

As far as the food, you'll again note a very big menu covering steaks to seafood. I haven't had the guts to try either of those, but their burgers, wraps and salads are good to go. I've also had the Sweet Potato Fries (I wasn't too impressed by those. They were too thinly sliced & slightly overcooked) and the baked clams (Solid). If you're a sports fan and you want wings, I don't know what to tell you. On one occasion, one of my friends said they were good, the other said they were a little dry/overcooked. In my opinion they were worth 3/5 stars when compared to the best wings I've ever had. Again, you be the judge on that and let me know how you feel.

The bottom line is that I'll definitely go again, but here's a Grain of Salt: I've only gone during the week. So service has always been fast but there's a lot of sports on the weekends so there is the possibility (and high probability) that the service you get over the weekends may be a little slower due to high volume. The service my friends and I have had has usually been excellent. They've got very nice people on duty there.

Know Before You Go:

1) They have free WiFi! That's always a plus.

2) If you're pressed for time (hospital workers usually are while on duty), you can call ahead and have them start your order before you arrive, even if you're dining in. Their menu is online.

In my opinion, I would NOT go when Jackie C is there. There are plenty of other places to go. When we were at the table with our kids, there were a bunch of mistakes with the food. My salad was never brought to me, yet every single person at the table got theirs, and my daughter's wings were hot when she ordered BBQ. Then, there's the bartender... she hit on my husband and I found text messages from her in his phone. Obviously knew he was happily married with kids. Yup, wont be returning to this place, or any other Main Event. And if I could give no stars I would.

Very neat and accessible restaurant. They offer generous meals and for inexpensive prices. I liked the menu a lot and the staff were super amiable and informative. Will definitely recommend this place.
