Reviews for RipTides Cocktails and Grill in Lindenhurst, NY
First time there - really liked (almost) everything about it - the food - the staff - the entertainment music - the owner - the... atmosphere- etc? Here?s the one thing that bothered me (and I?ve seen another comment with an explanation that I didn?t findacceptable.) When you get a mixed drink (vodka and coke) they charge you for the vodka ($7) and an additional $1.50 for the coke= $8.50 for the drink. NEVER HEARD OF THIS. I?m not cheap, but if I have three drinks, should I now order a glass of coke andthen get 3 shots of vodka and an empty glass to save myself $3? It makes no sense. BUT I STILL LOVED THE PLACE! Also ? asuggestion - on their FB page ? I wish they?d list a daily entertainment activity for what they have, each night. I lookedtonight (Friday) and couldn?t see if they had anything going on or not. Again, I don?t want to sound like a moaner - I really,really, liked the place! Jerry. - Lindenhurst Read more
Really bad food. The cauliflower was burned to a crisp and inedible. The steak tidbit sandwich was so expensive for literally... half a piece of bread with 4 small slices of steak. The fish and chips tasted like freezer burn. The fries were good. We wentfor lunch and no one was in there we got strange looks when we walked in and waited like an hour for the food. We did not eatall of our food. My husband ate my fish bc he was so hungry after waiting for so long for his tiny sandwich. You asked if wewanted a box for the left overs and we said no thanks. Don?t lie. I also tried to tell the server that the fries I paid $6 extrato have truffle butter were not truffle at all and she blew me off. Read more
Had a dish of linguine with white clam sauce. I ate some but wanted to take the rest home. When I heated it up the next day I... had to throw it away. Full of sand. What is wrong with these people who do not wash the clams? Every bite was like eating amouth of pasta and sand. I'm getting sick just thinking of it. Read more
Very pricey considering it wasn't that great ! Server and drinks were good but happy hour not extended to us. Dont think I'll be... going back They did give us ,$10.coupon for future visits but passed it on to friends. Two of us ordered the spinach andartichoke dip that used to be phenomenal Very chunky and $16! Bartender told us we could sit at a table and still get happy hourspecials. Advertisement ssid on Fb $2 off if a rum drink was ordered I had LIIT with rum in them.and was charged full price.Dont like to quibble so just paid the tab and left. Had one mozzarella stick which wasn't hot or cheese melted. My friendsseemed to enjoy their wings though Read more
My wife had a chicken pesto sandwich which was fine. I had the steak tidbits which was small, chewy, and soggy. The French... fries are the starch coated fries like Burger King sells. To me those are the worst French fries made. Read more
The food was very good. Go hungry, the portions are generous. The service was excellent. My only negative comment is the bench... seats have no back support, too deep. That won't be an issue for some, but it was for me. Read more
The staff is something you?ll never forget. Prices are good. Portions are more than you can handle. Delicious food and well made... drinks. But the service and atmosphere is really what makes this place stand out. In a world where you can get good food inmultiple places, the only thing you can?t replace is good employees. 10/10 Read more
I was in town from Florida visiting cousins & they heard great things about this place, so we figured we would try it out! ... Well, it did NOT disappoint in every way! The decor and vibe is really cool with a beach/nautical theme. The food and drinkswere delicious! The roasted brussel sprouts & the Shepherd?s Pie was to die for! Our waitress, Nicole, was great and funny! The bartenders, Joe & Katie, made amazing & different cocktails and were so warm & attentive! They had a one man band singingwho was really talented! We even met the owners, Danny & C.J., who could not be more welcoming, friendly and attentive makingsure we were having a great time and we were happy with everything! If I lived here, I would definitely come here often, anddefinitely will be returning on my next visit! Check this everything out for sure?.and you?re welcome inadvance!!???????????????????? Read more
