Craft Kitchen & Tap House Wantagh

"I live around Wantagh and have been here for many holidays, Islanders games, and random fun nights. While I’ve never had a HORRIBLE experience here, I’ve never had a wonderful one either. There’s one bartender in particular (taller white man, maybe light brown/red hair?) that is always so kind and makes me feel welcome. However, I always feel like I’m being ripped off. I’ve gotten $20+ salads with barely any protein, have had plenty overpriced cocktails, and today on TGE was nearly scammed by a female bartender. We arrived at 11pm, put my card down to open a tab, and was told an hour later that there was an $80 minimum for cards that night? As a local who tries to patronize this place, I was really disappointed tonight. I like quite a few appetizers and that one bartender (was working towards the end of the bar towards the front door on thanksgiving eve, he knows who he is) but felt really disrespected tonight."

"Too expensive, This trip, the food was terrible! Couldn't even chew the steak! Awful. Ordered a pumpkin beer and I was served a brandy glass, not a pint glass that was on the bar servings."

"Portions were huge. Food was good. Interesting blossom onion."

"Let's start by saying, the was was nice and very well could've been overwhelmed - so I'll give service a 3 star this time around to be fair. My wife asked for three waters while I was parking the car (parking is AWFUL - drove around for at least twenty minutes until accidentally finding there was a municipal parking lot in the rear). Only two waters were brought out and took about thirty more to finally get it (albeit a bigger glass for the wait). Waiting was the big portion of review here as it was painstakingly slow... again, they may have been understaffed, it just didn't seem too crowded. We sat outside in the front, it was a beautiful day - so that was a clear WIN. The food came out however long later and we realized that there were no napkins or utensils on the table... hence waiting until we could eventually flag someone down to ask for them. The Steak sandwich was hearty and delicious - Fries were a WIN... the nachos were tasty; however all the love went directly on top as opposed to the layering process that is so important to the successful nachos. Pulled pork sandwich got no complaints either. Food was tasty - I'd visit again; but not regularly as I don't have that time to wait! Good for having with friends, family or a quick drink - bar seemed to be popping inside."

"2nd visit - Mother's day. Ordered off the brunch menu, steak and eggs. Cooked just right. Steak / dish size right for prize. Our party was 13, w/ kids. There server managed it very well. Also when food was served multiple staff helped bring the food to the table ( which helped us to all eat at the same time). The "bottomless" brunch drinks kept coming (although the champagne for the mimosa was not that great). Over all a good experience again. First time here. Staff very nice. Food good, bit heavy. BIG Berger's."
