List 14 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Riverhead, New York (Part 2)

Norman Bartner Ken and his wife are the family owners of Haiku. Sometimes their son is the busboy. We dine there frequently because they have the best menu, with the freshest ingredients. Been eating Japanese food for 65 years everywhere, NYC, Cal., New Jersey, Chicago, Colorado, etc. Their fish is ALWAYS fresh! The rolls are amazing! Not the most enticing dining room, not super fast service. But we come to enjoy a comfortable environment in a casual manner. Cant eat atmosphere or shove food down as fast as possible. North forkers know Haiku very well, while it is still a secret to people on the south fork. Easily the greatest value value among Japanese restaurants anywhere. HNY & merry xmas Dr. Norman Bartner

Jennifer Cortez The salad was tasty. The steak was perfectly medium rare. The mashed potatoes were subtly seasoned. The atmosphere was busy but intimate. The decorations give a local homey feeling. Very enjoyable.

Renee Blake We had 4 specials suggested by WAYNE, the best Waiter in town— shrimp risotto, paella, tequila clams and seared tuna. The drinks were raspberry lemon drop and lavender blossom martini. Everything was fresh and delicious, and it was clear that the head chef is committed to and in charge of the kitchen. Go just to experience the highest service by waiter Wayne. He is friendly, kind, attentive, and the most thoughtful. We will return!

Thomas Hinrichs This is by far the best Greek food around. We live in Port Jefferson and use to go to Hampton Bays for Hampton Gyro. We are so happy they opened one in Riverhead. Best Food, Best Service, Beautiful Restaurant.

SEH First time trying this place, Riverhead definitely needed a new bagel/breakfast spot. Everything was almost perfect. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on an egg bagel. It was perfect, delicious and exactly what I ordered. Really good. I got a small cup of coffee which was included with my sandwich- awesome. They have a great variety of everything, not just breakfast but lunch items too. The only semi-negative part of my experience was that when I first walked in I was ignored for a few minutes. No one greeted me, or even made eye contact. A simple, “I’ll be with you in a moment” would’ve been great and made a better first impression. There was one person ordering ahead of me, but otherwise it wasn’t insanely busy. It won’t deter me from trying them again, but just a suggestion to at the very least acknowledge your customers existence (even if busy) when they’re waiting to order, because I was half tempted to just leave. They’re new so I’m sure the kinks will be worked out. When I did interact with the employees they were all very nice. OTHERWISE it was a good experience. And I’d recommend them.

kevin moos We get takeout from Roccos often and their dinners are delicious. They are always friendly on the phone and fast, polite when I pick up. The quality is superb you can taste the fresh ingredients.

Bui D (SaavyShopper) Barrow Food House is a culinary treasure! Every meal here is a delight, but the fried chicken thigh sandwich is an absolute must-try. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and incredibly juicy on the inside, with flavors that will leave you craving more. The sandwich is expertly crafted, combining fresh ingredients in a way that elevates the dish to another level. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Whether youre a local or just passing through, Barrow Food House is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Adele McGowan Food taste like going home to your southern moms house. Chicken wings crispy with a great honey mustard Thai sauce. Fish bites and shrimp great. Too many grea sides to mention. Lastly gotta try the cornbread. We definitely recommend Tinys as a place to eat.

Joshua Holten One of the best breakfast spots on Long Island. Gave me great service the first time I ever walked in and today the service was fantastic. I have been to a lot of places but this one is by far the best. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who loves the southern hospitality with a New York twist.

Xiomara Penafiel I love coming here. The place is very clean, friendly, and has good customer service. Everything is well organized, showing you what they offer. Theres a lot of variety. Delicious. I recommend

Michael Tillman How many restaurants can entertain and satisy 22 people? The food was perfect and everyone raved about their selection. They put us in the back area, so we were not disturbing the other customers, or perhaps we were back there, so we were not being distracted. First, they brought waters and then took our orders asking how people wanted their meals prepared. Then soup or salad, fried rice with spinning eggs, a fire show, and lots of friendly chatter. There were a few squirts of saki in peoples mouths and some airborn broccoli. Then came the meat , fish or vegetables. Everyone received a generous portion of fried rice and vegetables. With a tip, it averaged $20.00. The servers were very friendly. One person ordered sushi and sat with the rest of us. Only one person had enough on their plate for take home. Everyone asked to schedule another luncheon here, so we will be back. While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, Marge commented about all the high volume takeout service.

jenna polintini Ate here on Sunday, It was fantastic! Our waitress young girl brunette/blondish was amazing and attended all our needs. If our drink was almost empty she was right on top of it with another one. Excellent staff, service and food will definitely be back.

Oscar Aguirre I love the workers especially fairoly she is a good employee

DA ONI JXJ (BL4CKW1ZZ4RD) The food here is exquisite, and the waitresses are very kind and helpful. The prices are a little on the high side; however, the price is definitely worth the meal. I recommend using this restaurant for small immediate family outings, a small friends outing, or a date night. My favorite dishes were the doho trio with French onion soup as a starter, and the doho burger.
