SHANAHANS BAR & GRILL

I think this restaurant could be such a unique and beautiful place if it were maintained. But the property is very run down and disheveled. It's a shame because it's location is quite lovely, in a secluded spot next to the abandoned Kings Park psych center. There's lots of trees and open space and it's near the old dock park, nissequogue park and green belt trails. You can sit outside in nice weather. And the food is good standard bar-restaurant food. But the main thing holding this place back is the poorly maintained property, the restaurant building and the grounds. If the owners were to fix up this place it would be really special.

Was really excited to go here with a few friends until we walked to the front door at around 7:00 pm on a Friday night and they made us wait a good 20 minutes before even acknowledging us, even though they constantly made eye contact. At one point they were even whispering about our group, until a middle aged waitress with dirty blonde hair came up to us and rudely told us they “couldn’t take us” and then turned her back, no follow up or “come back later”..just ignored us...terrible service. Not to mention it looked grimy anyways. Super disappointed. Another couple told us they had been waiting there before us at the door and weren’t sure what to do because nobody had greeted them for a good 20 minutes either...

Place is outstanding!! the staff is friendly. the food is amazing!! especially the wings omg I think they might be the best wings on long Island . Fried pickles delicious tortilla pizzas a great French onion soup is delicious. Everything is good .. the even have a huge fire pit...

U would drive past it an not even notice it, but if your hungry it’s one of the greatest place you to be at an eat at. Service it’s nice it reminded me of cheers. Food is better though, the FIB is the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had and the wings are up there too, also they have fantastic quesadillas and sandwiches. All of the food is amazing they also mike a nice drink. 10/10 would go again many times.

What a great little place! It is definitely in need of a sprucing up, but it is charming in its dive bar atmosphere. The food was delicious. And the rest of the reviews were spot on - the wings were amazing! I now know that I will no longer crave wings. I will crave THESE wings. I had the reuben which was made with pastrami, not corned beef, and I was not angry about it. My husband had the Jody burger, which was also very good. Overall I’d recommend.
