The Main Event

"Came in solo just to grab a drink at the bar and have a small dinner on a Thursday night. Walked in had a nice ice cold IPA and to my surprise the food is amazingly good! I got the tuna tartare special which was thick chunks of tuna w avocado and seaweed salad, w some kind of sauce and chips to accompany it. It was really good and I inhaled it! On top of that I also ordered the French Dip w fries as recommended by the bartender and being I’m already stuffed it came out and it was really good as well!! Fries are nice and crispy, bread is crispy and hot, meat is abundant and flavorful and w the Au jus dip it softens it enough that it’s even more juicy to the bite! I can only eat so much so had to take it home.. Also I forgot the mention portion is pretty good as well! A good you get what you pay for type of place.. I’m happy.. and will be back since I live nearby!"

"Underwhelming meal. A restaurant like this should have a perfected "burger and fries" meal, but the burger was not cooked as ordered, and the meal was lukewarm in temperature at best. I don't usually leave critical reviews, but it seems a shame that such a decent atmosphere could eliminate return business because a "bar food staple" food item couldn't be well produced- and, hopefully, someone who can make a difference there will care to fix the issue. Server was OK, friendly and somewhat attentive- there were a lot of patrons on Halloween night, so this is somewhat understandable. These are minor issues- and, maybe some of the other menu items are fantastic, because there were some interesting choices that sounded really good. I would cautiously recommend this restaurant and hope I just was an exception to a better rule that I simply didn't experience on that visit."

"Went to The Main Event at Plainview a few nights ago for dinner and had a nice time. Plainview is one of two locations out on Long Island, NY. The other one is at Farmingdale, which I think is larger. Our server was courteous and attentive. The food was good. I asked for my steak medium rare, but it looked like it was passed medium. It was still alright. No complaints all in all."

"Great place to meet up with friends and family and have a great time watching sports and cheering on your favorite team. The service was excellent and the food is on point. This place is popular amongst the locals so arrive early or you'll be waiting to get in. Cheers!"

"My parents were visiting and we wanted to take them out to dinner but my dad is very picky and like "Normal" places to eat. We chose to come here and it was absolutely perfect. Our waitress Madison was very happy and made suggestions to help us order. All of the food was great as were the drinks. I'm glad we chose here and we will definitely be back."
