Hear from our valued guests
The staff is amazing ( Tania ,Victoria ,Alexa , Louise , Jill , and owners Matt and Mike ) !! Love chatting with everyone every Tuesday night ( our weekly night out ) . Food is fantastic !!
Delicious! Just what the hubby and I needed on a Friday after a busy week! Amazing Lemon Chicken soup, brisket eggrolls (he claimed the Lobster Bisque was the best he's had) and a great Paper Plane cocktail. So nice to have this gem in the neighborhood! Totally revitalized!
Went for early dinner at Riley’s East in East Northport on Valentine’s Day. New to the area and trying out area restaurants. What a find! Great vibe, great people and best of all great food! Husband said his gumbo was the best he had outside of New Orleans! I asked the friendly waitress about the kung pao cauliflower app and she said it was addicting and she was not kidding! So delish. Took home half of my yummy stuffed shrimp … couldn’t stop eating the cauliflower! Husband found a new beer he loved — huge selection. Good service, friendly owner and staff, highly recommend.
I love everything about this place! The food is amazing and the people are super nice. -Tommy, age 10 (From Tommy’s mom - we have been coming here since he was 4 and had his First Communion party here in 2023 - we all love it here!)
It’s a great family restaurant! Staff were courteous and attentive. The food was great and it was a lively atmosphere. I saw all age ranges and plenty of families, couples, etc., a good mix of folks. If you’re considering and reading this, definitely head over. They’re welcoming and the foods terrific and varied. My burger was great!
We had such a great time at Riley’s for St. Patrick’s Day—this was our second visit since brothers Mike and Matt took over, and they’re doing an awesome job. It was really busy with a live radio broadcast going on, but everything still ran smoothly. Matt got us seated quickly, and our drinks came out fast. My fiancé had a Guinness, and I had a margarita made by Mike that was perfect. We ordered from the specials—the corned beef quesadilla and the short rib grilled cheese—and both were so good. They came with a beer cheese dipping sauce that was honestly delicious enough to order on its own. They’ve got a new chef, and you can definitely tell the food has been stepped up. Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!
Had a really nice dinner here! Enjoyed the blueberry lemon drop martini. Vegetable risotto with blackened chicken, tilapia and rigatoni bolognese were all super delicous and the service was great
Wow... soo pleased and impressed. What incredibly kind, attentive and thoughtful customer service. Food was delicious. The autumn harvest salad had a fabulous flavor and wonderful combination. The sweet potato croutons were spectacular. Mussles were absolutely incredible. Fish and chips best we have had. I must say that our experience was marvelous and better than we've had. High recommend and I do not often write reviews. Impressed. The owner was soo down to earth, authentic and put integrity into his business. Try it! You will not be disappointed. Yummy!!!!
I know there are new owners here!!just took over I think a week ago. I felt like the service and the food were excellent! The atmosphere is so welcoming and the place is clean! I ate the Chicken Gorgonzola it was Devine!! Great place ! Thank you all for a fun night!!
The new Riley’s East was FANTASTIC! Make sure you visit here and enjoy this amazing establishment! Warm and welcoming with an incredible, creative menu designed to please every palate and the most delicious, generous meals! We enjoyed the lobster bisque (loaded with huge chunks of lobster), grilled Asian style cauliflower with a savory dipping sauce (omg delicious), mozzarella and tomato panini with the largest, most delicious fresh mozzarella slices and tasty balsamic/ greenery, and the fish and chips and fries which were so tasty and generous we will enjoy them for days. This is a very special place and we highly recommend it!
