Country House
About the Business
The Country House, located at 1175 North Country Road in Stony Brook, New York, offers a unique dining experience with a rich history dating back to 1710. Originally a Farm House, this institution has served as a Town Meeting Place and Stage Coach stop over the years, with even George Washington’s Spies from the Culper Spy Ring known to have meetings here during the Revolutionary War. The most active spirit, Annette Williamson, a young girl from the 1700s, is said to still reside in the Old Field Room after being wrongfully accused and violently murdered. Guests, especially children, have reported seeing her spirit and even dancing outside in the morning mist. The restaurant has also been a meeting place for famous figures like Thomas Hadaway and William Sydney Mount, who held occult meetings here. Originally known as the “1710 House”, the institution has evolved over the years to become “The Country House Restaurant”, maintaining the legacy of its original owner, Mr. Thomas Wendelken. With its rich history and mysterious spirits, The Country House offers a dining experience like no other, with memories that last a lifetime.

Reviews
"Driven past this restaurant all of my life and for whatever reason never made it in. We decided to check it out this past Sunday evening. The food was absolutely perfect, I mean I couldn't have been happier. The Seafood was fresh and delicious, apps were great, even the bread was perfect. Our server Zachary was on point and very nice. While my wife and daughter liked it, I'll admit the décor isn't really my speed, but I will happily deal with it for food this good."
"Don’t listen to the negative comments. People are just miserable. First of all this place is amazing! The atmosphere is so cozy and gorgeous and the service is excellent. The food is out of this world. It’s worth every penny you pay. The staff is very friendly including the owner as well. We come here often and it never disappoints. The cordon blue is the best! The fried calamari is incredible, the pork chop is off the chart’s delicious. Many dishes too many to mention are all so delicious. I will highly recommend this amazing place to anyone. It also has a really cool history as well."
"The country house is cozy beautiful restaurant with amazing food, wines and staff. The chicken cordon bleu is amazing, the best I have ever had. Second favorite would be the eggplant rollatini with angel hair pasta. The Atom Cabernet and Chardonnay as house wines are so affordable and absolutely delicious at just $40 a bottle. If you choose a martini you will have never had one larger at any restaurant, these martinis are more than worth the price. In December the decorations are unreal like a Christmas fairy tale, but it’s also their busiest season so consider trying in October when it’s all decorated for Halloween or maybe February, Valentine’s Day at the Country House will be a night to always remember!"
"Do. Not. Go. Here! Coming from someone who doesn't mind paying extra for quality, service and atmosphere. While it is pretty, the customer service made it feel very tense. The owner is exteremly nasty to both patrons and employees. The food wasn't memorable or anything to brag about but the most insulting part was they had the audacity to charge us $8 per soda, and that didn't even include refills!!! I kid you not. Also, our glasses were still half full when the waitress asked if we wanted a refill, and again paying $8 per soda we thought it safe to assume it would include a half of a refill. It did not. The owner acted like I was insane to think that an $8 soda (maybe 12oz with ice) would include a refill. There are much better places to spend your money & time!"
"Bob and the staff at The Country House are so very wonderful! I had the BEST tuna ever! The atmosphere is very cozy and bright. Everything on the menu is great! I go every year for Mother’s Day an each year it gets better than the last of that’s even possible. 10/10!"
